ment,' be and is hereby overturned by the
presbyteries. with instructions to vote yea

THE NEXT PLATFORM.
Carter Says Republicans Win Declare fol
Protection.

Carter Says Republicans WIN Declare for
Protection.
Thomas ii. Carter, chairman OF the Re-
publican national committee, in a public
statement says;
'In 1896 the Republican party will stand
for protection and the restoration OF bimet-
allism, on substantial and enduring basis.
There may be differences OF opinion In the
party on the tariff schedules, but none upon
the principle OF protection. There will be
differences OF opinion as to the best course
TO pursue TO secure the free and unlimited
coinage of both gold and silver, at u liked
rate, but there will be no difference Of opinion
as to the desirability OF bringing about that
result.
upon one question there will be neither
difference OF opinion rs to the general prin-
ciple involved or as to the means to be en-
poyed. That is with reference to the restora-
tion of vigorous, thoroughly American
foreign policy. l am persuaded that the Re-
publican national convention will pledge the
party anew, and with great earnestness and
force TO this line OF foreign policy. The peo-
pie demand It. They arc conscious OF their
strength, aud they realize that this republic
has become and ID nation"

TRADE REVIEW.
Summary ofthe Past Week by Bradstreet

The observance OF Memorial Day services
served TO check the volume OF general trade
this week, but there has been further
shrinkage in the amount OF business tran-
sacted, due TO not altogether well.found-
ed fears OF serious damage 10 the grain
crop.
Reports from manufacturing industries ne
seventy-five cities east OF the Rocky noun
tains show that more than 227 Important
manufacturing concerns started up between
April and week ago, by reason OF which
$4,000 employees have secured work. But the
additional and significant fact is found In the
report that wages OF no fewer than i7s,OOO
industrial employees have been advanced
within the period an avaraRe OF 10 per cent,
OF whom six-sevenihs received the advance
without striking
Exports OF wheat (aour included as wheat
from both coasts Of the United States and
from Montreal this week amount to 2, ,426, ,OO)
bushels, against 2,754 900 bushels last week.
2,401 900 bushels In the week year ago
S,253.o00 bushels two years ago. 1891 900
bushels In 1898 and 1897, 900 bushels in the
week OF 1891. There some gains at the South.
with improved agricultural prospects In
Tennessee, affecting business at Nashville.
Memphis and Chattanooga. Only moderate.
ly active demand in few lines is announced
where the vegetable crop is the largest for
yenrs. There is an improved demand at
New Orleans, aud buyers are showing more
OF tendancy to anticipate wants.
The iron manufacture Is gaining rapidly,
and the average OF prices. which had falen
In February to SAL per cent. Of the prices
In October, 1890, has now risen 10 SOL per
cent. most OF the advance having been made
In May. Bessemer pig has been lifted TO
SLIGO, and gray forge to Si0.40, caused by
the growing demand; tank steel plates are
50 per ton higher at Philadelphia, and nail
producers have combined, raising wire nails
TO sl.15, and cut nails to 81 by car loads at
Plttsburg. The structural demand Is very
very large, and while the buying In other
forms of iron and steel products is conserva-
tive, great confidence prevails that prices
will hereafter advance materially. IL is be-
lieved that the wages question will be settled
at Pittsburg this year without any strike.
The failnres duridg the past week have been
215 In the United States, against 1873 last
year, and "a In Canada, against 27 last year.
