pany, which was burned some months
ago at Carteret. is to be rebuilt on a
more extensive scale. and an Elizabeth
contractor Is TO do the work. The main
building will be $50 by $50 feet, and
sixty feet high. Two smaller buildings
will also be erected
Wilmington, Del, Sept. 26.-The
evidence OF n brisk business revival be-
comes apparent daily at the shops of tho
Harlan & HollngSworth company. Many
workingmen were added 10 the already
large forces I'm the various departments,
and Superintendent Read OF the ship
building department talked encouraging
" about a busy fall. The keel Of the
steamer which the Harlan & Hollings-
worth company is to build for the Mer-
chants and Miners transportation COM
pany will be laid this week The ma
chinery for the canal locks in Michigan
has been completed and shipped.
Harrisburg. Pa. Sept. 25-Industries
are humming again with more than their
old-time briskness. In the iron and
steel plants the prospects for fall work
are very promising the Lochiel, Paxton
and Central rolling mills being on dou-
bic turn. In the Pennsylvania steel
works, at Steelton, three furnaces are in
blast with special activity in the bridge,
construction and frog departments. The
American tube and iron company's Mid
dletown plant was at work on double
turn In nearly every department. The
last semi-monthly payroll Of the Steel
ton works footed up $Sl 200. a large in
crease over the previous one. The
wooden mills at New Cumberland are
running day and night. and the wages
of its employees have been increased 10
per cent.

water works until the shops are COM
pleted. The first work OF the new estab-
lishment will be TO put an improved BIZ
cycle on the market, but later on Il will
be developed into a car-building estab-
lishment. Many Of the most experienced
worlSmen of Pullman will be employed
in the new works, and it will be able to
turn out work equal to any on the con-
tinent. 1t is therefore probable that Mr.
Pullman has succeeded in raising up a
formidable rival which will hereafter
cause him trouble. and no one will re-
greet it If that is the result. for he is
as universally despised as any man ever
was in this country. II there is any
character that American people despise
heartily it is the exposed hypocrfte who
has been masquerading as a public BEN
efactor, or philanthropist.

RIGHT ABOUT FACE.

The Sentinel's remarks on Mr.. Nc
KinIey's speech seem to have had ben
eficial effect on that interesting gentle
man. In his speech here he said:
But, my fellow citizens. this bill gives
some protection. Rice Is carefully pro-
tected by a duty Of more than so per
cent, and sugar is not wholly neglected ;
is has some free trade In il here and
some there, but principally here There
is tariff on peanuts. but free trade in
hoop Iron that goes TO bind the bale Of
cotton. There is a tariff on sumach.
but free trade in wool There is a tariff
on mica, but free trade in lumber. There
Is a tariff on the grain bags Of the north
ern farmer, but there Is no tariff on the
cotton bagging of the southern farmer.
In every schedule there is the grossest
exhibition Of sectionalism and unjust dis
elimination.
The Sentinel at once called his atten-
ton to the fact that ON everyone Of these
articles. which he was pleased to call
southern products. the duties levied by
the present law were lower than those
levied by his own law, and that his re-
marks as TO sugar were especially alb
surd inasmuch as the Louisiana sugar
planters had just Joined the republicans
because they preferred the Mckinley law
to the present law; inasmuch as Mr..
Havemeyer had sworn that the McKln-

in congress voted. 1t should be borne
in mind that the financial panic was

1 speak now directly to the wage
workers of Indiana, and in the light Of
their own experience, which L call to
witness, when / say that the claim, by
whomsOever made, that protection Of the
Mckinley kind protects the laborers in
getting employment, or in keeping it at

employers, is a falsehoOd, gross, palpa-

ator Voorhees, at Terre Haute.
Much is being said by the republicans
regarding the hard times that have been
inflicted upon the people for the past
fifteen months, the responsibility for
which they have charged upon the demo-
cratic administration. They do this not
withstandng the fact that the financial
stringency began and has run its entire
course under laws for which the repub-
lican party was entirely responsible.
That the democratic party is in nowise
responsible l think can be demonstrated
to the satisfaction of any fair-minded
person. The stTingency was due in my
Judgment entirely TO class legislation,
and in a measure to the Sherman pur-
chasing act. These causes are the acts
of the republican party.-Ex-CongresS-
man Stockslager at New Albany.
The sugar trust had been the recipient
of great favoritism under the Mckinley

prohibitory of importation OF the article,
and creating a great monopoly, and that
the last congress had taken away from
the republican allowance three-fourths,
making 1t possible for foreign refined

trust. The speaker could not see the pro-

ley law was more favorable to the sugar
trust than the present law. and mas
much as refined sugars were selling at
lower prices than they were one year
ago and two years ago. On considering
these facts Mr. Mckinley changed his
mind. At any rate he came ait the sugar
question on new tack in his speech at
Find,ay. o.. recently. as follows:
Only a few days ago the sugar-plant-
erS of Louisiana, in convention assem-
bled, turned their backs upon the demo-
cratic party, with which they had all
their lives been associated, and boldly
announced their unconditional indorse-
ment and support of the great doctrines
Of protection TO American industries. and
thereby allied themselves permanently
with the national republican party.
What this may mean in the future Of
our policy 1 do not know. but that It
must have a wide and beneficent infiu-
ence cannot for a moment be questioned.
Here is large body Of the best business
men in the state, by adoption and prac-
tice democrats, who for years have been
trying TO make themselves believe that
the democratic party was not the enemy
OF our great industries. but now have
been reluctantly forced to abandon their
position and openly declare that they are
alone safe in the hands OF the repub-
lican party. / cannot but commend
them for this patriotic movement. They
need no assurance Of devotion to the
material interests Of the South by the
republican party. In all its legislation
for one-third Of a century it has never
overlooked a single southern interest.
Without any aid from the South with
its entire representation in both branch
es Of congress for the most part standing
in opposition 10 the republican party In
the Stormtest years Of sectional preju-
dices, moved by no other considerat ton
but the public good, the smallest as well
as the largest industries OF the South
have been sacredly guarded and pro-
tected. We welcome TO fellowship this
great body of American citizens who
propose benceforth TO be Americans and
stand up for American interests, not in
one. but in all sections of our beloved
country.
Was a more complete change Of front
ever seen. One day he complains of
democratic sectionalism. The next he
says: "They need no assurance of de-
votion to the material interests Of the
South by the republican party" OF
course not. That is what The Sentinel
said. 'In all its legislation for one
thlru or century II mas never over
looked a single southern industry" That
is true. nor any other industry that had
the right kind of lobby at Washing
ton. And this was peculiarly true of
Mr.. McKinley's law. He simply invited
in the trusts, and combines, and tariff
barons, and asked them what they want
ed. and gave it to them. And If the
republicans come into power again they
will do the same thing again. The sugar.
planters. and the sugar trust, and all
the other beneficiaries will come trooping
forward, and the McKinleyites will fall
on their necks, and kill the fatted calf.
and take them off their husk diet.

MIR. HARRIsoN,s TREASURY.

The Sentinel has had several inquiries
concerning the amount OF cash in the
treasury at the close Of Mr.. Harrison's
term. most of which refer to an article
of the Journal commenting on Mr.. Brook
shire's recent speech. which has been
copied by a number of the state papers.
The amount depends entirely on the
system of bookkeeping. The amount re-
ported on hand on March 1. 1893. was
s24.12S. 0S7. 80. but this was Fosters sys-
TEN of bookkeeping. If the accounts had
been kept as they were on March 1, 1889,
there would have appeared a deficit of
available funds" Of over $SO,0OO,0OO. The
total amount of money in all funds
turned over to Harrison by Cleveland in
1889. excluding the gold and silver held
against certificates. was $3.50. S4S, 1852.
The amount Of funds of all kinds turned
over by Harrison 10 Cleveland in 1898.
with the same exclusion. was 1852. 49,
92O.7S. On whatever system of book
keeping you may choose to use there was
s167, S54 e9434 l. in the treasury at the
end of Mr. Harrison's term than there
was at the beginning.
The important differences in the book
keeping are three in number. The first
was the transfer of the seigniorage. or
profits on coinage. to the available funds
and it's use in purchase Of bonds at
premium. Startling as it may seem, the
Harrison administration appropriated $780,
1O5.O1325 Of this vacuum" and bought
bonds with it.
The second was the turning of the
fund for the redemption of national bank
notes, amounting to $54. 1875, into the
available funds and its use for the or
binary purposes Of the government. This
had always previously been regarded as
a trust fund.
The third was the turning Of the gov
ernment's holding of nickels. dimes and
other fractional currency into the avail
able funds. This amounted to s11, 49,
S29.74 Previous to July 1. 1891, this
fractional currency was always classed
as not available
If these two funds last mentioned had
been treated as not available, as they
were on March 1. 1889. the net cash bal
ance would have been wiped out, and a
heavy deficit would have appeared, and.
of course. there IS no fair way of COM
pairing except to put the accounts on the
same basis at the two dates. There is
no room for question that the object of
these transfers was to avoid the appear
ance Of a deficit. for the treasury was
bankrupt at the close Of Harrison's ad-
ministratfon on the system of boozkeep-
ing that was previously in use. Mr..
Foster knew it and knew that It would
be necessary TO issue bonds to maintain
cash payments. He gave orders to pre-
pare them and the plates were prepared.
but Mr.. Harrison dramatically an
nounced that his administration was "a
bond-paying and not bond-issuing one"
and kindly left his bankrupt treasury TO
be Strengthened out by Mr.. Cleveland.
And Mr.. Cleveland is doing it in excel
lent style Notwithstanding all the OBJ
stacles that have been placed in his way.

The republicans will have to take a
new tack on their sugar arguments. Mr..
Havemeyer has ordered half of the trust
refinerles closed and the remainder will
be shut down next week. In an inter-
view. Havemeyer says: 1.-THE operation of
the new tariff law has already closed half
the rehnerles in this country, throwing
the men who worked in them out Of en-
ployment. and It will probably close all
the rest OF them next week. This will
mean putting at least 10000 men out of
work. The price Of sugar is below the
cost Of production. For some time past
the company has been working the re-
fineries at considerable loss" Repub-
lican newspapers will now prepare to

five years of age. He is native of New
York and resides at Rochester After
graduating from Union college he became
principal of Macedon academy. He
studied law, was admitted to the bar and
in 1856 was elected to the state legisla-
ture. He was one of the committee Of
fifteen, Of which Horace Greeley was a
member. which drafted the terms of
agreement that led to the uniting of
the old wing party with the republican.
Mr.. Stebbins became odd fellow in
1850. He was grand master for two
terms; seventeen years ago became a
member Of the grand lodge and was sue

master and grand master. He has risen
from chairman Of the appeals committee
to the Office of grand sire.

RETRIRUTIoN COMING.

It seems probable that Mr.. Pullman
viii soon begin to reap retribution for
his infamous treatment of his employees.
There are two lines in which it is com
ing. One Is just taxation. Mr.. Pullman
may have wanted some laws enforced,
but the tax law was not one of them
Governor Altgeld noted this fact and APP
peared before the Illinois state board of
equalization TO demand a just assess
ment of this company. whose entire
property in Illinois had been assessed at
only $1.6955OO lie showed by the state
ments Of Mr.. Pullman before the inves-
tigating committee that the capital stock
OF the company was S3s 900, 900 and that
for years an annual dividend of per
cent had been paid on this stock. while
at the same time the company had ac-
cumulated s25,OOO,O00 Of undivided
profits. He also showed that its stock
had been selling at $1.74. The facts were
received with some establishment by the
commissioners, and one OF them gave
notice that ne should move to assess the
company at $4,000. 900. which is about in
proportion to the average rate Of assess
ing other property of corporations and
wealthy men In Illinois.
The second movement is an exodus of
people from Pullman and the establish
ment OF a rival concern at Hiawatha,
Eas. The contract has been closed for
the site and the first installment OF men
will be brought on at once to construct
temporary buildings for the shops. Ar

lature, and declined further political hon
ors. His opinions are said to have more
weight than those Of any other agricui
tural writer The Farmers congress is
not political body, as is shown by the
fact that delegates have been appointed
by both democratic and republican gov
errors. President Clayton was being
prominently mentioned as the republican
nominee for governor Of Iowa when he
was appointed delegate by Governor
Boise. The congress is a most impor-
tant one and it owes much Of its success
TO the efforts of its president.

read law and eight years later was ad-
mitted to the bar. About this time he
became editor and proprietor Of the

twelve years. Since then he has been
engaged in various banking, manufacture

served the union throughout the rebellion

There are two local organizations in

prime mover and pioneer organizer was
John Thiil. who will be the chief
marshal of the coming gathering.
Through his efforts the local society
grew and prospered, and through the
founding Of this society many people of
that nationality were persuaded to
make their homes among u.s. The first
officers of this association were: Presi-
dent. Charles Engel; vice president.
John Heber; treasurer. Theodore Da-

years later the LuXemburger brother
