DEPRESSION OF TRADE.

The Unsettled Policy of the Democrats Portends Disaster.
 More than year has passed since it was announced at Washington that congress was to be convened for the purpose of bringing to a close the financial crisis or panic that was then everywhere present. The president and congress assured the people that with the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act business would be restored to it's normal condi- tion and the times would again smile with prosperity; but all these state ments and prophecies have come to naught. The level of prices is not yet found. There is a shrinkage every where, and no one can tell to-day what the result is to be. Business interests everywhere stand idle and without hope Capital is seeking place of in- it may truly be said that the markets are more uncertain than at any other period in the history of our country. Added to the present depressed condi- tion of trade we have now the most eX- tensive strike ever known in the United States. The loss entailed by this and the other strikes which have preceded it within the past few months must take from the common people many hundred millions of dol lars, besides destroying the industries that were barely living in the hope of continuing until times might change for the better.

MORE INDICTMENTS.
The Work of the Grand Jury at Chicago
 Completed-More Indictments.

The Work of the Grand Jury at Chicago Completed--More Indictments.
 CHICAGO, July 20.-The federal grand jury returned twenty-three indictments in Judge Seaman's court yesterday afternoon and was discharged. In the twenty-three indictments were in- cluded the names of about seventy-five individuals, who are charged with vio- lating the federal statutes during the railroad troubles of the last three weeks.
 District Attorney Milchrist refused to give the names of any of the indict- ed persons beyond admitting that there were several new indictments against Debs, Howard, Keliher and Rogers, the chief officers of the railway union.
 Included in one of the indictments also are other officers of the organiza- tion who have not been so prominent as the four now in the county jail. The others who go to make the seventy-five are strikers against whom are charged specific acts of interference with trains or other property of the companies. Debs and the other officers are in near ly all the twenty-three indictments. Whenever the grand jury concluded to present batch of rioters who com mitted specific acts, such as the derail- ing of trains, Debs and his companions were named with them as conspira. tors.
 In addition to that there is an indict- ment against Debs, Rogers, Keliher and Howard, charging them with con- spiracy to deprive citizen of the United States of one of his constitu- tional rights, that is, the right to ship goods from one state to another.
 Mir Milchrist said the question as to whether Debs and the other officers will be compelled to give bail on each separate indictment has not been set- ] tied, but will be after the bench war rants are issued and served to-day. No indictments were returned against railroad officials because no informa- ton was given against them. .
 MANY INDICTMENTS FOUND.
 ST. PAUL, Minn., July 20.-In the United States district court yesterday the grand jury reported between fifty five and sixty indictments against strikers and others for interference with the mails during the recent strike on the various northwestern roads. Bench warrants were issued and until the arrests are made no names will be given out.

FREE RAW MATERIAL.
A Democratic Measure Which Is Fatal to
 American Workmen.

American WorlSmen.
 The democratic party demands that all raw material entering into our manufacturing products when brought from foreign countries shall be entered free of customs duties, whether the like material exists in our own coun- try or not, and the Wilson bill endeav- ors to realize this demand. Tke req son given is that this will enable us to make and sell such manufactures at cheaper rates, and to send them abroad for sale in the markets of the world. It is said that our manufacturers have the capital, our worlmen have the skill, and our inventors the ingenuity to produce tools and machines, so that with raw material free from tariff tax ation we can compete with any other nation. By raw material is meent the products of the forest, mine and farm. Hence coal, iron ore, lumber, wool, hemp, etc., are to go on the free list in order to make cheap goods for foreign markets as well as at home.
 From this policy the republican par ty dissents: CD Because it deprives our miners, lumbermen and farmers of the home market for the proceeds of their labor. @ Because it deprives us of the opportunity of converting our own material into manufactured goods.

If the president in his wisdom had seen nt, while the debate was progressing In the senate to have aided my efforts to secure adhesion to the principle, by expressing his views in favor thereof, in some proper and legitimate way, we should have been gratined and 1t would unquestionably have been of practical benefit to the cause rejoice that he has expressed them even now although am not required to defend the manner of their presentation even If they are so required. While do not as- sume to respectfully differ from the president in his assumption that tax upon sugar is neo- essary at this time, conceding that an income tax is to be retained; clearly both are not needed for any legitimate purposes of the treasury.
 The president speaks of the "democratlc principle and policy which led to the taxation of sugar" and he asserts that we are in no danger of running counter to democratic prin- ciples" desire only to suggest that if it was desirable that sugar should be taxed, "as n legitimate and logical article of revenue taxa ation" as he now says it seems strange that the president did not in his last annual mes- sage make some intimation, suggestion or recommendation to that effect.
 Mir. Hill, in closing his speech, called attention to the fact that the president, who had been so often quoted in the tariff debate as favoring an income tax, had at last come out in no uncer- tain tones against it. He trusted the presidents words would have their eff feet. He QIilD wanted to perfect this bill. He knew it was claimed his wishes should not be consulted because he did not intend to vote for this bill. He never should vote for it so long as it contained the income tax, but he wanted to see it made defensible.
 Mir. Hill in most dramatic manner concluded by declaring that unless the democrats of the senate yielded they would go to the wall, and the presi- dent would go to the front.

and thus adding to our employments and wealth. (3) Because wool, coal, iron ore, lumber and such things are not raw material. Nothing is raw ma terial which the labor of man has taken out of its natural condition. (4) Be- cause the scheme is fallacy unless it is meant that all wages shall be re- duced to the lowest standard of the world. The raw material spoken of is cheaper where cheaper labor exists, and than it can be after we have paid the cost O. transportation.
 in short, cheap goods mean low wages, and we must have lower wages and cheaper goods than other nations to compete with them in their own markets. Our owu material is un- taxed; hence untaXed material will not do it without low wages

CLASS LEGISLATION.
Detestable Schemes Resulting from the
 Ascendency of the Democracy.

Detestable Schemes Resulting from the
 Ascendency of the Democracy.
 Perhaps one of the most detestable schemes of class legislation ever pro- posed in an American congress was that clause of the present tariff act which repeals the sugar bounty and destroys the sugar beet industry.
 To the farmers of the west, the estab- lishment of this industry opened a new and almost unlimited field. The official statistics show that under the operation of the sugar bounty, the pro- duction of beet sugar increased from six millions of pounds to forty-four millions of pounds in one year The outlay necessary to provide this won derful increase could not possibly have been made had it not been understood that both the spirit and the intent of the law gave promise of perpetuity at least for ten years for the enterprise. To strike down this promising source outrage beyond the description of hu- man language
 One of the worst phases of the whole qustion presents itself to the people of the west, that the two states which will suffer most, Nebraska and Kansas, are parties to the crime through the action of their populist senators, Allen and Peffer. What have the people to hope for when men claim and clamor for public recognition in the national counsels, and vote to destroy promised prosperity.

Senator Hill Has Estimates Showing tho

 WASHINGTON, July 20.-Senator Hill has received long letter from Worth ington G. Ford, chief of the bureau of statistics, in which he states that the possibilities of the revenue that can be raised from the income tax ranges all the way from SIP, ,OOo,O 900 to S39,- 900, 900. He thinks that the latter fig ure is the highest which can possibly be hoped for, and the last few years the collections would fall below S15,- 100000 He also expresses the opinion that the revenue which will be col lected on private incomes will not be more than sufficient to pay for collec- lions

of hope for better things is that the people seem to have determined that the republican party shall be placed again in power, in order that all the wrongs of the past year may be right ed and that the sure road to confidence and prosperity may again be open to all the people in all branches of busi- ness throughout the whole country. Let the republicans again control.

The Manifesto Ignored.

CHIcAGo, July 2O.-The Debs mani- festo resulting in the Overton edict warning all railroad men at the stock yards to desist from work or be "branded as scabs" seemed to have little effect yesterday on the men to whom it was addressed or upon the sit- ation at the stock yards generally. Railroad employees returned to their work as usual, switching was continued and the packers seemed inclined to treat the matter as a joke.
