M'klNLEYs CAPTURE.
Ell Perkins Tells How the chicory Indus
try Was Established.

II believe, said Mckinley, that,
with protection in America. we can cap
ture the business of raising and manu-
featuring all our linen. just as we have
captured the nail tin, chicory, silk and
carpet industries, and make all of these
things in the end cheaper for our peo-
pie. l would agree to have the Belfast
linen manufactures in this country in
two years and Minnesota covered with
fax in place of cheap wheat if l could
dictate the policy. think that $25,
900, 900 a year saved to the Unite
States on linen is worth trying for, and
proper protection would do it. F"
Mr.. Dana tells me that he raises
chicory III his famous garden at Flush
ing and uses the green tops for salad
Now comes the news from Nebraska
that the state is so delighted with the
protective policy which brought great
industry into their state that the legis-
lature has added bounty ON both chic
DRY and sugar.
The $1,000, 600 beet sugar plant at
Norfolk has been found large enough to
manufacture their great North Platte
beet crop into sugar, and they are turn
ing the great Gad Island sugar house in
to chicory factory. Millions of bushels
of corn and wheat will go out of Ne
braska, and, by and by, thanks to pro-
lection, the farmer viii get "a better
price for wheat How much wiser is
such a policy than the policy Of killing
an industry! With the tariff ON wool,
sheep were going all over Dakota and
Minnesota taking out wheat and enrich
ing the wornout land Now sheep are
being killed, the industry destroyed, and
$25, 900, 600 annually will go to Asia for
wool
Let us be glad that the new industry
of chicory has escaped Mr.. Wilson $

More Business Men should Represent the
People In Congress.
The business man is n necessity in
politics, but not merely ON account of
the money contribution that he is asked
to make toward the campaign fund. The
business man should seek politics, and
not wait for the campaign collector to
seek him. The business man should be
i'll attendance at the primaries, where
the groundwork of subsequent contests
is arranged. 1t is the duty of the bust
ness man to help IN securing sound pol
itics, with good representatives for his
party at every stage of the game. The
business mans interests in politics are
vastly superior to and of a higher char
acter than the interests of the wire pull
er or of the boss.
The business man more often than
not neglects his duty in this respect.
While congressional action alone may
have any direct bearing upon his indi-
vidual affairs the business man should
remember that our representatives i'll
congress are nominated through an ear
lier procedure in the campaign. No
business man can afford to have his in
terests left i'll the hands of a profession
al politician-the mere tool of boss.
Every business man needs to be repre-
sented by fellow citizen in whom he
has confidence. 1t is the duty of bust
ness men to see that they are so repre-
scented. Business men should not shirk
their duty. By taking lively interest i'll
their early local politics they will be
able to send more business men to con-
gress. This is what we need.

II TOOK THE PRIZE.
How Tennyson's "Tfmbuctoo'' Passed the
"a Examiners. =

How Tennyson's "Tfrnbuctoo'' Passed the
Examiners. -
There is story connected with Ten
nyson's prize poem of sTimbuctoo," /"
which one may surely tell without
undue reverence, of master who
afterward did such wondrous work.
The examiners of the prize manuscripts
for the year were three, the vice chan
cellor, who had a great reputation but
/ violent temper, and who did notwrite
well; a classical professor, who knew
no poetry which was not in dead Ian
guage, and a mathematical professor.
It was agreed that each should signify
what he thoughtof the poems by the
letters ''g" and 'sb,"s' for good" and
chad" . s 9FtH "a .ifs
The vice chancellor had the manu-
scripts first. When they came to the
mathematical professor he found Tim
buctoon scored all over with "g's. J" He
did not understand why; he did not
even understand the poem itself, and
being afraid to ask the irascible vice
chancellor for his reasons he also wrote
stg'' on the production.
The classical professor thought it
rather strange that both his predeces-
sors should. admire. so uninteHigible q
work, but, as he confessed, "he did not
care one iota about the matter" So he
put down his s'g" with the rest, and as
no other poem had three "g's,o the
prize was unanimously awarded to the
author of ssTimbu ctoo."
After the affair was over the three
examiners happened one day to meet,
and the vice chancellor, in his absolute
fashion, fell to abusing the other two
for their taste in admiring the poem.
They replied, with some natural indig-
nation, that they should never have
dreamt of considering it, If he had not
scored it all over with ''g's. !"
''G'sl'' he exclaimed. They were
/ .q's' which I put in for queries, for
couldn't understand two consecutive

M'KlNLEYs POSITION.
A Matter of Dense Uncertainty Among
RepubIicans.

Mckinley has good deal of positive
strength and also good deal of posi-
tive weakness. The friends OF a pro-
hibitive tariff justly look to him as
their champion. They know that he
and his bill cannot be divorced, that
his candidature would mean Mckinley
ism, and that his election would insure
them the support Of the executive of
fee for another extremely protective
law. But the number who desire
this is much smaller than 1t was in
1883 and 1890. The Mckinley bill was
a disappointment in several ways. It
disappointed the politicians by turning
vast numbers Of them out of office Il
disappointed the workingmen because
it was followed by general reductions
in wages and no increase. It d1sap-
pointed many of the manufacturers
themselves by failure to give them the
advantages expected and also by stiu1-
ulating production to point that was
followed by break in prices. Finally,
it failed to yield revenue enough to
support the extrayagant scale OF
expenditure inaugurated by the Fifty
first congress, leaving deficit OF
seventy million dollars In the last tls-
cal year Of It's operation. For these
and other reasons many republicans
wish to eliminate the tariff. Besides,
however willing others may be to make
the tariff the dominant ssue, the free
silver men are to be reekoned with.
They insist that there shall be free
silver platform and a free silver can-
| didate, or they viii not remain in the
| party, but have a candidate OF their
own. This indifference is In its nature
irreconcilable in any other way than
the conversion Of ones party TO the
views Of the other. Mr.. OConnelps

THE WOOL DUTIES.
Barbarous Mckinley Taxstion WIN Not
BE Resumed.

EtaE02EOuD
Be Resumed.
The suggestion OF Senator Dubois
that 1.-THE restoration Of wool TO the
dntiable list Is the thing in which the
west is most interested, Z and that
this should be done likewise as 9
revenue measure is not received with
enthusiasm by the New York 'Trt buT1e.
That Journal reminds the western sem
ator that wool duties cannot be re-
stored without a restoration OF the
Mckinley taxes on woolen manu-
factures, and that this Is likely to
prove difficult task.
Not only difficult but impossible for
two years to come, with the senate
constituted as 1t will be and with
President Cleveland In the white
house. The attempt to increase rev.
enue by raising the taxes on the cloth-
ing of the people will not be success
full at present, If ever again.
There are economic as well as poss
litical reasons for this, The short sex-
perience we have had with free wool
has proved it to be for the advantage
alike Of the growers OF wool, the man
ufacturers and the people. We are
getting more clothing, better clothing
and cheaper clothing with excellence
and durability as the test. The price
OF domestic wool is advancing at the
same time with the wages Of woolen
mill operatives.
This very practical object lesson
will not be lost on the people. The
political shepherds of Ohio will not be
able to ..pull the wool over their eyes,
again, especially as they remember
that the price of wool declined forty
per cent. during the four years OF the
Mel cKinley law
The Mckinley taxes OF forty-four
per cent. on wools and ninety-eight
per cent. upon woo1en goods were
among the most barbarous taxes ever
imposed. They will not be reenacted

increase is based on the Industrial de-
