Effect ON the Manufacture of Gas.

The Objectionable features to this are prin-

STEWART TO CLEVELAND.
The Nevada Populist Replies to the
Presidents Letter.


Presidents Letter.
WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator Stew
art has written a letter to President Cleve-
land, referring to the Presidents letter of
the 18th inst, addressed to the members of
the Chicago committee. Senator Stewart
says the Presidents letter Is timely. 'The
country looks to you,'' he says, 'as the
great champion of the present financial con-
dition of the country. The policy for which
we have labored so long and so persistently
has been established and the money of the
United States reduced to the shrinking
value of gold. What is now more needed
than anything else is a plain and simple
presentation of the argument in favor of
sound money. If you could point to any BEN
eft you lave been to the country, your
task would be much EASIER but in view of
universal distress your courage far exceeds
your alscretlon unless you present your
reasons for gold monometallism without de-
lay
Throughout the Senator's letter he ar
raigns in similar language the position talk
en- by the President, and concludes as fol-
lows: ..I assure you that when your long,
delayed argument in favor of the gold
standard appears. / shall take great pleas
ure In calling your attention to any mat
ters you may Inadvertently omit, which are
necessary for your case

The MESSENGER has on several
occasions printed some statements
of the cost of manufacturing cane
into sugar, and the price obtained
for the sugar, showing that the
manufacturer cleared handsome
profit on the cane bought. The
manufacturers persist that our f.
cures are wrong and misleading,
but they positively refuse to give
any information for publication.
concerning the manufacture of SUI
gar, The MESSENGER will publish
any statement that will be submit
ted to us, whether favorable or
not. If we have entered into the
discussion of this matter it was
not with the idea of ipjuring the
manufacturer in the interest of
the producer, but we wanted to
get the exact figures, showing
what it cost to manufacture cane
into sugar; when this fact would
be established the producer would
then be satisfied that he is getting
a fair price for his product. But
as the manufacturers abstinately
refuse TO publish statement even
showing the losses thay claim
they sustain, We refuse to accept
their saying unless they contra
dict cur figures by theirs. Ifthey
sustain any loss why are they
afraid to show the amount of their
losses? They admit that they
lose money every year; let them
prove it and the producer will be
satisfied. Until then, they are
right to believe that all the fruit
of their labors goes to enrich the
manufacturer.

New York, Aug. 15.-The cause of
the collapse of the Ireland building, in
which fifteen lives were lost, came to
light to-day when the workmen en-
gagged in clearing away the debris in
the cellar uncovered an Old-fashioned
well under the foundation. 1t was
situated directly under the center pill

which precipitated the disaster. The
well was only eighteen inches below
the concrete base on which the pillar
rested. 1t was Of the old-fashioned
sort, six feet deep by eight feet In d.
ameter. 1t was lined with rough
stones and there was no water in it.
The coroner and several building ex-
pets examined the we'll, but could
give no opinion on the matter. One
building expert said, however, that
neither the contractor nor the officers
Of the building department could have
been unaware of the fact that the
well was there, nor of the fact that its
filling was too soft. A representative
