NEw York, Dec. 17.-Rev. Thomas
Dixon, IT., preached this morning the
seventh sermon in the series ON The
Prophecies Of the Worlds Fair The
subject for today was The Dawn OF
International Life. -
He reviewed the international char
acter Of the exposition as one of the
many indications Of real world life
that israpidly dawning upon mankind.
Hedeclared that the closing days OF this
century were heavy with the promise OF
resistless faternal internationalism,
widened for us in the supreme cosmo-
politanism Of trade, in the annihllatlon
OF continental and oceanic distance, in
the progress Of engines Of war, the nee
sessary gsowth 81 international laws,
the universal fraternity of science, let
ters, music and art. He appealed there
fore for broader sympathies and the
closer federation Of all national life,
especially among the English speaking
people.

HOW 1T BENEFITS THE FARMER.

The statement of Mr.. E. E. Perry, Sec
League, published in the Sunday Jour-
nal. furnished interesting evidence as to
the injury inflicted on the American
Hour trade with Cuba by the repeal of
the reciprocity treaty. Secretary Per-
rvs statement is fully confirmed by
those of others. A letter is published
from Hon. Z. o. Stanard, one Of the
largest millers of st. Louis, IN which he
says that during the twelve months
preceding the passage of the new tariff
were shipped to Cuba from st. Louis
and mills tributary to st. Louis, and
that since the passage of the bill the
trade has entirely ceased. He adds:
And since the abrogatioE Of this treaty
there has been no corn shipped from
this market TO these countries. whereas,
before there was annually shipped from
this market and immediate neighbor-
mood about 100000 bushels. besides
large quantities of oats, bran and baled
hay. And this business. / am now in
formed, is entirely abandoned"

We could not help ourselves. All the
American mills have shut down. The Dem
ocrats reduced the tariff until the manu-
facturers could not stand the competition,
and they had to close or go into bankrupt
cy. While they were going we did not i'm
port anything except a few special sizes.
The industry is new here and the mills
were not prepared to make certain sizes,
and we had TO go abroad for those, but IL
the Democrats had left things alone an
other year the American mills would have
been able to supply everything We needed.
The statement that 'all the American

FROM A BUSINESS POINT OF VIEW.

The Boston Transcript, though not a
party organ, is a low-tariff, free-trade
paper. On its editorial page it indorses
the new tariff bill and approves the
Democratic programme of continued
agitation. Yet its money article, which
is always intelligent and nonpartisan,
as a money article should be, contains
the following: There are indications in
the commercial world of a disposition to
await the results of the elections before
undertaking any attempts at broadening
business activity. The same is true of
the stock market, where increased mar
rowness and continued heaviness nave
marked the weeks Transactions Let
us ~analyze this a little. The present
situation is Democratic. We have a
Democratic House. a Democratic Senate,
a Democratic administration and a Dem
ocratic tariff law. 1t might be added
that we have Democratic times. Now,
if the approaching election is TO result
in a Democratic victory there will be no
change in the situation and there is
nothing for business to wait for. If it
is true. as stated in this money article,
vi
branching out under present conditions
1t will continue to show increased mar
rowness n sl~uggishness after another
Democratic victory. What, then, is
business waiting for? Obviously for a
Republican victory. 1t is waiting to see
If there is to be a change in present con-
ditions. That is the exact truth, and it
is the attitude Of business men all over
the country. If the Republican party
carries the next House of Representa-
tives it will mean that the war on Amer
lean industries is to stop and that the
country is to have commercial peace at
least until such time as the mischief
already done by the Democratic party
can be undone. With that assurance
there will be a broadening of business
activity and a revival of prosperity.

II people find unfamiliar-looking half dol
lars appearing among their small change
in the course of the next few weeks they
need not be surprised. The coins will be
the so-called Columbian souvenir half-dol-
lars, which the government is now making
desperate efforts to put into circulation.
More than l30,CO0 OF them have been paid
out at the subtreasury In New York during
the last few days. II is said that some peo-
pie hesitate TO accept them, not knowing
exactly what they are and fearing that
they may not be worth what they profess
to be. They aren't; but they are legal ten
der up TO $40, having been expressly made
SO by the act under which they were
coined. and they not only can be taken
with safey, but they cannot be legally re-
fused. Perhaps some people who come into
possession of them in the ordinary course
OF trading will be disposed to hold on to
them in the hope that, as the issue is lin
tied, they will become in time worth more
than their face value. If any OF them are
thus diverted from the channels of trade TO
old stockings and bureau drawers the gov
eminent will be much pleased. as IL wants
nothing so much as to keep them out of
the treasury. The fact, however, that so
far they have persistently come back TO
the treasury 10 annoy the officials, even
though some of them were originally
bought at a premium, would hardly Seem
to indicate that there is any noticeable de-
mand for them as souvenirs.

A WRONG TO FREE LABOR.

When the representatives of labor who
attempted to secure the passage Of a
bill by the last Legislature to prohibit
the letting of convict labor to contract
ors shall AVE read the revelation which
the Journal makes his morning the
cause of their failure Will no longer be
the mystery it has been. AS intimated
in the Journal on Saturday, the bill they
advocated was killed because leading
d ncrats in Indiana desired to con-
tract for such labor to be used in manu-
featuring in competition with free labor.
For the Democratic bosses in ndian
no more damaging revelation could be
made. If the mechanics and artisans of
Indiana do not rebuke these bosses at
the polls a week from tomorrow they
are not like their brethren in other
States.
1t is made clear by the revelations of
the Journal that a company Of which
Hon. David F. Allen. of Frankfort. Tax
Commissioner, is the president, ex-War-
den James Murdoch and ex-United
States Marshal z. S. Hawkins and other
leading Democratic bosses are directors
and stockholders, has been organized for
the manufacture Of bicycles, and has
contracted for prison labor. The tom
tract shows that this Democratic COM
pany, of which Governor Matthew's
State Tax Commissioner is president. has
a contract for one hundred convicts at
10 cents a day. with the privilege of
having fifty more at the same price, to
make bicycles. The company is to have
an extensive plant inside the prison
walls, and it expects TO put 5000 bicycles
upon the market FAC year.
The convicts his company will get for
their work will be the most intelligent
in the northern prison. Such laborers
are well fed, and with a little extra pay
can be induced to do a fair days labor.
II the bicycle manufactures in Indian
apolis cannot get his labor for less than
a dollar a day he cannot compete with
the Democratic company which has it's

quently the mechanics who had good
wages in bicycle factories before the
DAYS of Clevelandism must either ac-
cept much lower wages or the work
must cease. AT best, the 5000 bicycles
made by convict labor will take the
place OF 5000 made by free labor and by
men supporting families.
This great wrong upon ar industry
and upon free labor has been perpe-
trated by the State government OF In
diana through its agent, the warden OF

THE INTEREST OF EVERYBODY.

-
One week from tomorrow will be the
day Of election. There is one week more
for Republican work. Under the present
conditions it can be made the most
effective by the mass of voters, all of
whose interests are allied with Repub-
lican success at the polls. Every intelli-
gent and candid man who is in any way
connected with the business and indus
try Of the community in which he lives
knows that his interests have suffered
under the Democratic regime. If in
trade. his trade is not as good as two
years ago.: If in manufacturing enter
prises, his orders are smaller and the
prices are lower: If a wage Garner, not
only in he so-called protected indus
tries, but up and down the whole line Of
employments, he knows, as a rule, that
his condition is not so favorable as two
years ago. If he is candid and makes a
proper use Of his reason by tracing
effects to causes he knows that the
tariff policy of the Democratic Congress,
which began to cause uncertainty within
a week after the election of November,
1892, and which increased as the pur-
pose of the Cleveland leaders was made
public and the unsettling of conditions
and values by the passage of the tariff
law, is responsible for the ills which
have come to the people of this country.
With such a knowledge what should
the sensible citizen do? Work and vote
for the party which has turned pros
perity to general depression? Nothing
could be more illogical or more at vari-
ance with the dictates of common sense.
In fact, every candid and sensible man
knows that the only way to restore the
industry and business of the country to
the conditions of 1892 is to depose the
political party responsible for the de-
plorable change. To elect another House
similar to the present is to declare that
the country is in favor of depression, of
open competition with foreign producers,
the surrender of the home market, the
forfeiture of foreign markets achieved
all resulting in loss Of employment and
reduction of profits and wages. That is
all there is In the issue.
This being the case, the personal in
terest of every intelligent and candid
voter is to give cordial and earnest sup
port to the candidates of the Repub-
lican party, which is opposed to the pol
icy which has brought existing evils
upon the country. Such men should not
be content with quietly voting the Re-
publican ticket. but they should devote
their spare time during the next week
to p~ersuading their associates to vote
the ticket of the party whose policy gave
the country unprecedented prosperity.
And 1T is vastly more for the interests
OF the industrial and business masses to
elect the Republican candidates tnan il
is for them individually to be elected.
