INDoRsMENT OF SILVER.

The following is a recent statement
from Hon. James S. Clarkson relative
10 the silver question which, our read
ecs will see, is right in line with the pot
icy THE REPUBLICAN has advocated
under the present editorial manage
ment:
Sin my judgment the party has been
slow in coming to recognize the fact
that silver must be remonetized and
take its place among the currency of
the narion, as il was in 1873, when it
was at a premium over god. For my
part, [ have always been silver man,
not an International one, as the phrase
goes, but a national and an American
s.4ver mau, aud am for the free COIN
age CT silver at l6 to J.. I believe that
70 per cent. OF ,he people OF the United
States have tire same sentiments.
ST further believe and sincerely hope
thai the Republican parry, under whose
silver and Gu: sency policy. all tie
greater silver mines were developed, ,
viii return to its former position and
elect a president on the platform of
proSection and free silver.
" do not think tnat the price of sill
yer has decreased, but that gold has
appreciated in value because of the
Legislation against silver. it is not the
SO cent silver dollar Jhas is to be feared,
but it is the 100 cent gold dollar that is
keeping capital timid and paralyzing
business"

A STRIKE DECISION.

Judge Harlan, of the United States
Court of Appeals, reverses in part, the
decision of Judge Jenkins, rendered last
summer, involving the matter of a
strike on the Northern Pacific railroad.
Judge jenkins held that a strike was
necessarily illegal, in-as-much as it en-
tailed damage to the property by stop
ping operations. Judge Harlan dissents
from this, and while he sustalns that
part of Judge Jenkins decision, which
denies the right Of Employees in any way
to interfere with property or those who
stand ready to take their places, hecon-
cedes the right of employees, either in
dividually or collectively, to quit work
if the object be to better their condition.
1t is regarded as an important decision.

THE WAR SCARE OVER
english Newspapers Recovering From
Their Apprehension of Trouble
With France.
NO CAUSE FOR ANXIETY.
The Cabinet Meets but Acts on Mat
ters Pertaining to China
Only.

LONDON, Oct. 5.-The English news
papers have evidently recovered from
the bad scare caused some Of them by
the hasty calling of the cabinet council.
Wednesday afternoon the newspapers
were seriously apprehensive of war
with France. Now they are unanimous
in expressing the opinion that there is
not the slightest cause Of anxiety as to a
serious dispute with France, and it
seems to be admitted that the cabinet
council will not be called upon to decide
anything more serious than the protec-
tion of British interests in China. 1t
seems, however, that the cabinet coun-
Gil will decide the question as to
whether or not British troops will be
sent Immediately to the treaty ports of
China

Insurance Underwriters Taking Meas
ures to Prevent a Recurrence
of Forest Fires.
STRINGENTLAWSD DEMANDED
Charge Made That Recent Fires We're
Set Reiterated by President
Littlejohn.

CHICAGO, Oct. 5.-President W. j.
Littlejohn of the Underwriters Associa-
tion Of the Northwest, who, in recent
speech before that organization charged
that the forest fires were started by
lumber dealers to cover their stealings,
said that the insurance men of the
country have decided to take active
measures to prevent recurrence Of
such fires.
1.-The insurance men," said Mr.. Little
john. ':are collecting evidence which
will be submitted to the Minnesota
commission now engaged in investigat-
ing the fires. When the Minnesota Leg
islature convenes an effort will be made
to secure the enactment of stringent
laws prohibiting the firing of under
growth and stumpage. We have not
yet been able
To Make Explicit Charges
against any one, but enough evidence
has been received to convince me that
my surmises were correct. have been
misquoted as charging these fires to
lumber kings. What said was that
lumber pirates were responsible.
Many of the so-called lumber kings
are now interested in these investiga-
tions, and are as anxious as the insur-
ance men that the fires should be
stopped. The timber pirates may have
been extensive dealers in lumber and
they may have been insignificant firms,
but whether large or small financially,
they are responsible for the awful havoc
that followed the fires and should be
brought to Justice"

MIR. PERKINS, SPEECH.

The speech by Congressman Geo. D.
Perkins, delivered at Monona. Iowa, on
the 9th, ult., was clear-cut and pithy
review of the political situation which
developed from changes wrought by the
election of 1892. Mr.. Perkins turns a
strong light upon the work of the spec
ial and regular sessions of the Demo-
cratic congress; and at the same time
points another finger to the waiting,
idle and semi-pai alyzed condition OF
our industries, during the months OF
tinkering. The following in a brief ex-
tract from his speech:
There may be ,nose who be ieve. as
they avow they do, that the United
States, once transferred to free trade
basis, would find national prosperity
advanced by the change. But l observe
that there are few who act upon this
presumption. On the contrary, they
lay ho,d of protection for themselves.
Senator German Insisted that The btu
minous coal industry O. Mary land and
the Virginias be protected against the
Nova ScoJia syndicate. Senator Smith
was jealous in behalf of the sugar rein
ing industry OF New Jersy. Senator
Palmer and Mr.. Springer stood reso-
lutely for the barbed wire industry of
lllinoir. Senator Murphy took good
care of collars and cuffs. The senators
and representatives of Lou isiana were
wild in their yea, for the protection of
the sugar growers of their state.
The Carolinas ooked out 70. rice. Mr..
Oats, the governor-elect Of Alabama,
made early contest in the house of rep
resentatlyes fon a duty of 40 per centrm
on iron ore. And so it went
Protection in spots wiz not do as a
wise national policy. Let the principle
apply equally among al; our people.

coun.ry 10 a nat ona' poicy.

Madison Outlook: "The senator is a
very ordinary appearing man, indeed,
and his desultoly speech gave promise
OF no more mental qualification than
phys!cal;- just common every day,
barn-yard man. A bay horse with a
black name, and star in his forehead.
A tepid starter for the campaign"
Thus ends critique on Senator Gal
1inger from Democratic editor, who
Just went in out OF curiosity to see a
U. S. senator from the etfete East" OF
course, he was disgusted and disappoint-
ed. He expected to see, in one of the
eastern tariff robbers" man ten feet
high, with claws, instead of finger nails,
with horns protrudiug from mammoth

A Suit Involving Title to the Hastings
and Dakota Grant.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, Oct ga suit
involving the title to 10000 acres of land
was argued before Judge Williams in
the United States court. The suit was
brought by the st. Paul, Minneapolis
and Manitoba against Russell Sage,
trustee, successor to the Hastings and
Dakota, to recover about $4,000 acres
Of land certified to the State of Mime
sofa by the interior department for the
benefit of the Hastings and Dakota, and
by the state decided to Russell Sage.
The lands are within the primary or
place limits Of the Hastings and Dakota,
but without the primary and within
the indemnity limits Of the grant of the
Manitoba company, but not selected by
that company to make up the deficien-
cies until long after the map showing
the definite location of the Hastings and
Dakota line had been filed in the inte-
rior department and accepted. Judge
Williams took the case under advise

LONDON, Oct. 5.-The cabinet council
met during the day. Most of the min
listers were present. Sir William Har-
court, chancellor Of the exchequer, was
absent. The meeting lasted from noon

perfect agreement was reached respect
ing the plans submitted for the protec-
tion of British residents in China.
1t is announced upon authority that
the cabinet council, after discussing the
state of affairs in China, decided to send

Freemantle. 1t is also said that In con-
sequence Of the meeting Of the cabinet,
the British legation at Pekin will

MARKETS OF THE WORLD.

Not little has been said in this
country relative to the benign influence
OF free trade open ng to US the markets
of the world. Suppose we throw aside
the barrier of protection, which for
thirty years has enabled us to prosper
through the advantages of a great home
market, and take our chances with the
cheap labor of the rest of the world.
Suppose we then go into the markets
of the world to sell wheat and flour.
We will find that we are no longer the
exclusive bread producers of the world.
The Argentine Republic, within The
past few years, has increased its wheat
production from one million bushels to
"a million: other South American
countries have largely increased taeir
wheat areas; India and Egypt have
become great producers: Russia is ex-
tending her wheat areas into Siberia,
and it is certainly plain that those
countries eau now more than supply the
eastern hemisphere with wheat. What
would this country gain Dy putting her.
self in direct competition with the
pauperized producers of other countries,
both at home and abroad? Instead Of
looking for foreign markets. we should
employ our own pc op.e 10 the extent Of
producing in this country what we con-
sumo, both of raw materials and manu-
factured articles.

fill Will Do His Utmost For Party Vic
tory in New York.
NEW YORK, Oct. Ex-senator Hill was
in good spirits when he met an Associ-
hted Press reporter in Democratic head
quarters. He predicted the success of
his party at the November election,
and intimated that he was prepared to
do his utmost to bring about that result.
II always get in my hardest work on
the home stretch" he said.
Replying to rumor that he would
make way for Judge Gaynor at the head
of the state ticket, he said with a smile
and deprecatory wave of the hand:
81 must be excused if I decline to say
anything on that subject"
Before terminating the interview,
Senator Hill said that he might have
statement to make before his return to
Albany, which he thought would be in
a day Or two.

THE PRICE OF WOOL.

Argus-Leader: "Under the exorb: &
ant Mckinley law the price of wool
continually declined until it reached
the lowest point in history, seven cents
for Dakota product. Since the new
law went into effect the price has be-
gun to rise rapidly and is nov fo-oy
per cent. higher than it was on the first
of August"
Wool quotations in the Boston mar
ket, as to Dakota medium, was as fol-
lows on the dates named: Aug. 9, 100
Is; Sept. 6, 13 @ Is; Sept. 81, l3 Ga IA,
showing practically no change s;rce
Aug. l. Quotations on other te" TO: y
woods were in proportion: much of IL
lower. On Aug. %, when free wool
went into effect, foreign wool advanced
about u cents per pound, caused by
the expanded market. But there as
no advance in domestic wools. TIE
highest price wool has reached .tor
years, was in 1890 TO 1892, when the
operations of the Mckinley law were
natural and untrammeled: but the ex-
tremely low price of wool in Juae ard
July, 1894, were as absolutely on a 'ree
wool basis as if the new law were in
force, for it was an assured fact and a
foregone conclusion.
The Argus-Leader also says that "lhe
prices of woolen and cot .on othing
have declined since The new tarif went
into effect" Well, the markets do not
show it, but as matter of fact the wool
en- schudule does not go into effect till
Jan. l, 1895.
1t is extremely funny to see the Ar
gus-Leader "hoom the price of wool"

MINNEAPOLIS MILLING.
Output For Last Week 217,433 Barrels of

output For Last Week S17,433 Barrels OF
Flour.
MINNEAPoLIs, Oct. 5.-The North
western Miller says:
Minneapolis mills last week ground
217, 433 barrels of flour, against 210,443
the week before, 10000 in 1898, and
2O9, 715 in 1892. About the same ca
pacity is running this week, with ample
water power. The mills are gradually
increasing the proportion of new wheat
ground, and, in most cases, the per
cent runs from 25 to 80. Last week was
another quiet one in the flour trade.
While the aggregate of the orders
booked-approximating 10000 barrels
was somewhat larger than that of the
week before, it was continual battle
to effect sales. Prices of flour are, if
there is any change, a trife easier than
they were week ago. The export end
Of the market is still far from satisfac-
tory. A little patent was worked last
week, but more bakers, a few round
lots being taken by the United King
dom and also some by Holland.
