TARIFF WAR.

Indications That the United States Is on
the Verge of One With Europe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-Signs multi
ply to show that the United States is
on the verge of a great tariff war with
all Europe. France now appears to be
following in the lead of Germany in
placing restrictions and obstacles in
the way of importation of American
food products, and, as iii the case Of
Germany, this is a development of the
agrarian policy. and is intended to
help the French farmer, although os-
tensibly put forward as a measure in
the interest Of public health. In a re-
port to the state department from
Roubaix, United States Commercial
Agent Angel warns the departm ent of
a movement put on foot by the agri-
eultUrists of the department of the
north to establish certain reforms in
reference to the duties on agricultural
products and other matters. The
minister of agriculture has been memo
rallied upon the subject by a delega-
ton. The memorial complains Of the
importation of American beef, and
prays that the quarantine laws upon
animals may be rigidly enforced.
Some of the advance figures relative
to the extent Of the imports into the
United States coming in Spanish bot
toms have been already furnished to
the department of state, and they
show that the department has uneX-
pectedly powerful weapons in a retalis-
tory war if it comes to the point. Since
Sept l the value of such goods entered
at the Atlantic ports was little over
s4500OO0 or at the rate of s18,OO0O0O
per annum, a commerce too consider
able to be sacrificed by Spain without
great prOvocation.

CONGRESSIONAL WORK.

the best policy for the party to pursue.
For Iowa, General Weaver responded,
urging his veil known financial views.
and asked that the fight Of the next
t9o years under the national election
be made upon the Omaha platform in
its entirety, with financial reform we'll
to the front.
Recurring to the resolutions intro
ducsd on behalf Of the central PEOPLES
party COMMITTEES of Chicago, the con
ference suspended the rules and passed
unanimously the deRunciation of the
Imprisonment Of Eugene Y. Debs.
George W. Howard and others as an in.
yasion of the rights of free men to a
trial by jury. Some little debate was
induced by a phrase therein referring
to Judge Woods as one whose record
is stain upon the judiciary Of the
country but an effort to strike it out
falledl and the resolution passed.
Commissioner Breidenthal of Kansas
demanded adherence to the Omaha
platform. The same line was taken by
spokesmen from the states of Ken
lucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Minnesota, Mis-
souri,, Montana, Nebraska, Michigan,
New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsyl-
Vania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas,
Virginia, Wisconsin, Connecticut and
New York, after which the convention
took a recess until tomorrow morning.
At the conclusion of the session J.
G. Manning Of Alabama, said that he
had, upon advice. issued a call for a
meeting Of the ballot.reformers of the
south at New Orleans, Jan. IS and Is,
to perfect permanent organization
and plan of work.

THE ADDRESS.

IS as follows:
THE ADDRESS.
''The national committee of the Peo-
pies party sends greeting to its con-
stituency throughout the United
States.
"The rapid increase of our vote in
every part of the union. and the start
ling events of the past two years vivid
" justify both the existence of and the
necessity for the Peoples party. The
contention of the party that one of the
great needs of this country has been
and is an enlarged volume of circula-
ting medium, is now practically con
ceded by all parties and by the gov
ment. The gold power and banking
interests are insisting through the
president and his secretary that the
enlarged issue of money shall be ex-
clusively given into the hands of the
Of the banks; that silver shall be ex-
cluded, all the treasury notes retired
and that gold alone shall be legal ten
der, thus making the monetary ques-
ton an issue which must be met at
once.
"Within the present year the corpora

vast possessions of wealth and the ex.
ercise Of unconstitutional powers, have

eral troops without the requests of
either the executives of said states or

OUR STATE

Missour's great State University
opens in September, with all its mag
niicent buildings completed. 81
1t is nc longer a preparatory school
for Eastern colleges, but is today q
grand institution, equal in its work to
that of any state university in the
Union. 1t is indeed q fit GROWING
head for Missouri's great public school
system.
The custom of sending boys East to
school should now cease. In the first
place it is folly, and money thrown
away, because the advantages at homa
are as good, if not better.
Then again, Missourians have, OF
ought to have, some state patriotism
Loyalty to the states interest would
suggest that it is time to stop building
up Eastern schools, and help ourselves
at home.
A young man cannot afford to 60
East to school, il he expects to live in
Missouri. A. the State University be
meets and becomes acquainted with
young men from every section of the
state. This acquaintance with Ms
sourians cannot be estimated 10 dollars
and cents, and will be of great utility
to one in future years.
Everything is running smoothly at
Columbia. Internal Strife partisan
ism and humbuggery are no longer
mixed up in the university curriculum.
In future years a diploma from this
institution will mean something.

LET'S

Saturday. September 2lst, will be
the tbirty-fourth anniversary of the
Battle of Lexington. The INTELLI-
GENcER is happy to state that Il move
ment is on foot to celebrate the occa-
sion with proper ceremonies.
As we understand it, the citizens OF
Lexington are to take charge of the
celebration, and invite the battle
SCARED veterans who fought on that
famous field, to come here on that day
and be their guests.
The INTELLIGRNcER is in hearty
sympathy with this movement. There
should be something more than talk
come Of 1t.
Not many more prominent battles
were fought during the civil war.
Upon that sacred battle ground many
brve old heroes gave their lives for
country, and thousands who yet hve
offered their all for what they believed
right and just.
The prejudices of war have died
away, but the patriotism of blue and
grey should be kept alive forever. The
men who sswent to war; believed they
were right, and thus believing, they
gave the world an example of what
mankind will sacrifice for honest con-
viction. This example need not and
should not be allowed to perish.
Wars are now but affairs of history,
but in their history men of today should
read the lessons of noble manhood.
1t has now been nearly thirty-four
years since the battle which we are
about t o celebrate. The prejudices OF
both sides have been buried deep in
oblivion. The graves of the dead are
now bedecked with the same garlands
plucked by the same gentle hands, and
begemmed with the same sad tears.
Their history is read with admiration
by the honest men Of the world Their
names are engraved alike on American
hearts as names of honored heroes.
Those who yet survive are few. Old
age, together with the wounds of the
fierce conflicts of war, have called
many to a Higher throne; but the few
who are living would enjoy such a
celebration as is proposed. They
would hike to come together c more
and join in conversation over the old
times and view again on earth the old
br~eastworks, the old field of carnage,
and call back to mind the days Of shot
and conflict,
