A SANGUINE JAPANESE.
Ee Believes the War with China
Will End Before Winter.
ANOTHER BIG BATTLE PREDICTED.

a Japanese Naval Constructor Who De-
cIarss That His Country win Force
Matters to = Flush Next Month-Chin-
sss Soldiers Poorly Equipped.
LONDON, Sept. 25.-The Associated Press
correspondent had an interview with M.
Miya6ars, q Japanese naval constructor,
who Is here supervising the building of
two first class men-ef-war for Japan. Each
of the vessels is to be OF IL, 3U0 tons and
they are to be completed In four years. NJ.
Miyabara said the Yalu battle had by no
means disturbed his faith in the vast i'm
portance of big armored battle ships.
Cruisers, of course, were of undoubted
value, but big ironclads were the great
determining factor.
With regard to the campaign NJ. Miya-
bara thought that everything pointed in
the direction of Japanese march toward
Pekin. Beyond that he was not inclined
to saw much. Personally he believed the
war would terminate before winter.
"You may depend upon it," he contin-
ued, that Japan will force matters to a
finish before November, when the gulfs of
Pe-Chi-Li and Lau-Tong are frozen over
You will probably soou hear of a great
battle on the Yalu. The japanese are
good marchers, and therefore within ten
uhys Oh lHe uabe OF tne ring anK nBnJ
we may expect something important. In
the meantime there may be minor fights
on the march, of which you will hear
nothing because during the intervals of
marching on an important position not a
paragraph concerning the movement of
the troops will be allowed to be tee-
graphed."
A dispatch from Shanghai says: The
British steamer Irene, from Hamburg,
loaded with large quantities of munitions
of war, has safely arrived at Takiu and
landed her cargo.
1t is Understood that the governor of
Mancnuria is concentrating all the troops
in the province upon Mukden, and that
on the route to Wi-Ju extensive earth
works have been thrown up. The levies
are composed of hardy north Cinnamon,
and are excellent material, but they are
badly armed, only about 1000 of them
having good military rifles. Further sup
plies, however, are being hurried up from
the southern arsenals. .
The Chinese force entrenched upon the
Yalu river is estimated to number 3s, 600
men. Many of these are raw LIVES and
also badly armed. The loss of field guns,
rifles aud ammunition suffered at Ping
Yang has greatly embarrassed the Chin
ese war department. 1t is recognized that
a bat tie must be fought on the Yalu and
the Chinese are straining every nerve to
retrieve the disaster at Ping Yang.

The effect of the German Wilson bill
cannot be otherwise than injurious to
all industries in the United States un-
less it be that of sugar refining and
most harmful to all workingmen and
women and their families. The Mckin-
ley bill aimed to protect all our indus
tries, including the agricultural inter
ests, and all our laboring people. 1t SO
operated and gave new impetus to
manuf acturing, increased the profits Of
agriculture and gave employment to all
who desired it at good wages The Gu
tire country was prosperous, and the
people generally were contented.
The German Wilson bill puts at de
fiance all principles of tariff for revenue
only rs we'll as the true principles of
protection. 1t throws wide open the
doors for foreign competition in most
directions, while it gives protection to
few favored industries, and will in
crease and intensity all the evils Of
class aud monopolistic legislation. 1t
is shameful surrender to trusts and a
most shameful Abandonment of the
rights and interests of the country as
ii WHDl6.
When this bill comes into operation,
our markets will be flooded with for
eign made articles and our mills and
factories will be compelled to close or
reduce their output The effect will be
disaster to many of our producers and
great and lasting injury to the others.
The purchasing power of the people will
be largely diminished and in thousands
of instances destroyed. We shall find
not two but three men seeking every
job of work instead OF two jobs seeking
a workman, as was the case under the
Mckinley hlll pripr to the incoming of
the present INDUSTRY prosuatiug Demo-
cratic administration.

with men tramping from place to place

LOST IN THE CYCLONE


FOREST CITY. Ia, Sept. a5.-Friday
nights cyclone passed over this section,
devastating everything in its path. IL
came from the southwest and divided
south of Buffalo Centre this county. Tho
larger and most destructive portion went
south and east. Tho other portion went
northeast. In Eden, this county, many
buildings were destroyed and six or eight
persons thus far reported killed and fifty
or more wounded. In the track of the
other portion, which swept with dire de-
struction through Hancock and Cerro
Gordo counties, more than dozen per
sons are reported killed and probably ten
wounded.
AS an illustration of the power of the
cyclone Dick Gamblc's iron pump was
st~innad out of bis 100 foot well in the
twinkling Of an eye and carried distance
of ten rods. Great excitement prevails
all along the track of the cyclone, as
many children, and grown persons as
well are missing aud cannot be found.

JAMES s. SHERIDAN, NJ. O.,
Twenty fifth District, New York.

1t is difficult to forecast the farreach.
ing effects of the new tariff law. 1t is
certainly to DO hoped that some of its
disastrous results have been discounted
in the past Is months. Ever since Dem
ocratic control of the senate as well as
of the house and the executive became
apparent the universal prosperity then
existing has given place to universal
disaster and distress such as no pen can
describe. This was largely due to the
threatened assault upon American in
dustries. Now that we Can see the ex-
tent Of those attacks under the new law
we may at least hope that for the next
is months distress and disaster will not
be so universal.
Under the new law It is painfully
evident that wages in many branches of
industry must be cut down from 10 to
90 per cent, while in other branches the
trainers of the bill have blundered into
fair protection. That this eating down
process will be attended with wide
spread strikes is matter of the most
serious apprehension. Strikes are disas-
trous though the striking workmen aro
in the right. They are doubly disastrous
when, as sometimes happens, tho work
ingman is in the wrong. There is
abundant reason for the fear that the
strikes in the cotton and pottery indus
tries will be followed by still Others
The mischief of the reduction in a
few industries is that wages will so
down in sympathy il other branches OF
labor.
For example, if wages are higher in
one industry, those following less re-
munerative calling will offer their sery-
ices at lower rate, and SO the rates
reach a common level. Under the census
Of 1890 the total wage earnings of our
people reach about $40, coo, 600, 600 q
year. An average reduction of 20 per
cent means loss Of 81, 600, 600, 900 an
nually.
Taking into account the reductions
made in the last Is months and the fur
ther reductions manufacturers will be
compelled to make under the new bill,
90 per cent is low estimate of the re-
duction Of wage earnings sure to follow.
Such reduction would take away ono
fifth of tho consuming power of our
people, would destroy one-tifth of our
own markets and one.fifteenth of the
markets Of the world We cannot esti-
mate the loss of our own markets under
this bill 1t has opened tho door to for
eign importations. Foreign goods will
crowd out the American from our own
markets. We cannot see the end, but of
one thing VIC may rest assured-pros-
perity will return again only through
Republican success and Republican leg
islation. SERENo L. PAYNE
