THE WAR is ENDED,
An unconditional Armfstic DccIar-
ed by JaDnn.

Toxic, March 31.-The emperor Of
Japan has declared an unconditional
armlstice. The full text of the
armistice is as follows:
'On the opening of negotiations the
oi''nese plenipotentiary proposed
arlllstlce which Japan was willing to
accept on certain conditions. While
'lis negotiation was going on. the out
Ward event happened on the person of
the chinese plenipotentiary. His
majesty, the emperor, in view of this
unhappy occurrence, commanded the
Japanese plenipotentiaries to consent
to temporary armistice without con-
dltloiS. This was communicated to
the Chinese plenipotentiary."
washington, March 31.-The news
that an unconditional armistice had
been declared by the emperor of
Japan was confirmed at the japanese
legation. where it was stated that a
cablegram TO this effect had been re-
ceived from the home government.
CHINA made the offer of the armiStice
and the peace plenipotentiaries of
Japan were empowered by the en-
peror to accept it without condition.
This was done in view of the "unex-
pected event. that happened, viz. +:
h attempted assassination of Ii
Hung Chang. The armistice, said
Minister kurino, of the Japanese lc-
CATION, would be effective until the
peace negotiations are concluded.

armistice. but this request was not
favorably acted Upon by Japan. His
government, Minister KurinO said,
had not been inclined to stop a

lltions. These conditions are not
known, but it is suggested that prob

months later and a tGs y in 1892.
That was the result d. + the Nc
Kinley bill. Nor were Wages ad-
vanced at Homestead in the three
following 8:ars of McKinleyism.
We hav{ all heard of the Home
stead riotA They did not occur
under the Wilson law, during the
panic of 1893 OR the period of bust
ness depression following it, or
even after the election of Demo-
cratic President and Congress in
November, 1892. The Democratic
party can in no way be held re-
sponsible for them. This panic of
1898 had nothing whatever to do
them, and the only relation it bears
to the Homestead riots Is all in
their common fatherhood-Repub-
lican legislation, including the pas.
sage of the Mckinley bill. The
riots occurred in July, 1892, in
consequence of reduction in
wages-the third under the McKin-
Icy law.
1t is hardly necessary to remind
the reader of the effect of the Will
sou law on the Carnegie works.
The entire concern is in full opera
ton again and with orders enough
ahead to keep it running for sever
al months. Wages were recently
advanced 10 per cent, not only at
Homestead, but also at the Carne-
gle steel works At Beaver Falls,
Pa. In the latter case the advance
is a complete restoration Of wages
reduced in August, under the Nc
Kinley law.
Take another protected industry,
the Illinois steel works of Chlca-
go, and we get about the same
report as to fatalities. The works
were closed twice in 1891, before
the Mckinley law was year old,
because of reduction in wages and
resulting labor troubles. A 45 per
cent reduction was attempted the
following year, four months after
Cleveland's election, and a compro-
mise was effected in August at %
per cent. This is quite in contrast
with the voluntary advance of 10
per cent granted the 1000 men en-
ployed at the works last month.

1t is amusing to hear the gold
advocates howl about the sin of any
monetary change that would give
us fifty cent dollars. How about
fifty cent wheat? Is there no crime
in cutting the value of bushel in
two? Suppose it did bring US fifty
cent dollars. What of that? 1t
would mean that the fifty cent
wheat would be worth the same as
the fifty cent DOLLAR bushel for a
dollar. Is dollar wheat crime
When we contracted our debts
wasn't it on the basis dollar wheat?
Is it honest to force us to pay those
debts on the basis of fifty cent
wheat? Are we repudiating one
cent of that debt when we insist on
reducing the value of the dollar to
what it was when we contracted the
debt? No dollar is honest that de-
mands twice as many bushels of
wheat or pounds, Of cotton to pay it
back as when it was borrowed.
Fifty cent dollars! What Of i'll!
We don't raise dollars; we raise
wheat, and exchange for dollars
with which to pay our debt. We
don't ask for cheaper dollars than
those we borrowed, but We insist
that they should be no dearer. A

East Via The Great Lakes.

The Northern Steamship Line is an
important link in the Great Northern
transcontinenta system. 1t gives di-
rect connection between Duluth,
Superior, The 500, Mackinac Island,
Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo and the
East. practically extending the Great
Northern to within 400 miles of the
Atlantic seaboard. During the year
1895 there are two magnificent steel
built steamships in service, the North
Land having been added for duty this
year to run reverse trips with the
Northwest" There is nothing finer
in the way of accommodations to be
found on any other ships afloat. These
steamships make almost railroad time
in the delightful trips between Duluth
and Buffalo. 1t was thought when the
Northwest started last year that the
traffic would come mainly from the
tourist classes, but owing to the steam
ships superior speed and splendid
facilities, the business men took ad-
vantage of it and patronized it to an
extensive and gratifying degree. Mer-
chants and others who have eastern
trips in view can make prompt and
speedy time by the lake route and en-
joy the while one of the finest fresh
water journeys in the country Oh one
of the finest ships in the world.
The Northwest leaves Duluth on
Mondays and the "North Land" on
Fridays at 300 p. M, after the arrival
of the Eastern Minnesota train from
st. Paul and Minneapolis. These
ships are so regular in their movement
that in the trip of 1000 miles from Du-
luth to Buffalo there is but little varia-
ton in schedule time in arriving and
departing at the different ports. 1t is
an ideal trip and no one should 60 east
and back without using the lake route
one way at least.
