port in behalf of the majority of that
committee on "the threatened invasion
of the cheap products of oriental labor"
Japanese labor being the particular
kind under consideration. Mr. Dingley
is as nearly everybody knows, one of
the priests Of protectionism, and he pre-
sents the subject of his report from the
standpoint of the doctrine of scarcity.

M H. de Young is being looked on with
favor by Western Republicans in con-

we little apples do swim! Fifteen years
ago Mike de Young wouldn't have been
looked on with favor for the vice-pres-
idency of San Francisco ward club; In
fact, his candidacy at that time for
job of that sort would have stimulated
a full attendance of the club member

in the receiving hospital on June from
Inflammation of the brain, were yester-

in the potters' field. It was at first

proved not to have been the case No
word has been received from friends or

California, which supplies us with so

MADE ABROAD.
Strange Liking of People for Foreign
Made GOods.

(New York Journal OF Commerce.)
Is 1t fact that in every country the
people have preference for foreign
goods? Merchants generally believe 1t
to be SO. 1t Is the constant complaint
in this country that, although American
manufacturers supply the very best ar
ticles and at the very lowest prices, the
American people insist on goods OF for
eign make. English manufacturers are
just as loud in making the same COM
plant. A late report by Mr.. Meeker,
Consul at Bradford, refers TO the efforts
of local manufacturers to attract at;en-
tion Of royalty to their wares, and
20 discourage the feeling which seems
70 invariably influence people of fashion
that something foreign made Is always
better than something home made" The
result of these efforts was the selection
OF pure black and a pure white mohair
for two of the costumes in rhe trous-
seau OF the Princess Maud of Wales.
Every manufacturer and merchant
feels that the people Of his own town and
country ought to patronlze him. and if
trade goes from the city where lie is TO
some other city he feels that he has been
defrauGeu A small illustration of this
Is afforded by the history of retail trade
IN the city OF Washington. For many
years the retail stores were small and
thoroughly rural in their character.
Their owners grumbled that people of
wealth and fashion came from all over
the country but would buy nothing at
the capital They did their shopping

other large cities on their way 10 and

phe local stores carried small stocks of
goods and they charged high prices for
them. and no one would patronize them

was an cratic COW, and because Of that
quality John T. Pierce brought a war
rant In detinue against Turner Lang
ston. The COW belonged to Lansston
but made such ravages on Langs ton'e
crops after breaking down and crossing
his fences that the latter claimed II as
a compensa ton for the damage done his
property. He would not relinquish his
claim, and Pierce's only recourse was a

CHICAGO, July 1.-The conference
meeting of the national Democratic BIZ

at the Sherman House few minutes
before noon by Senator Harris of Ten
ncssce, who is chairman of the organi.
Zation. There was present a quorum
of members of the committee, and Il
large number Of distinguished silver
Democrats including Turpie of Indiana,
Daniel Of Virginia, and Cockrell Of
Missouri, ex-Congressman Bryan Of
Nebraska, Snodgrass of Tennessee. be-
sides others.
The meeting was devoted largely to
introduction and the exchange of views
as to the lookout for the approaching
convention. The opinion was gener-
ally expressed that there would be no
question as to the absolute control Of
the convention by the silver forces, to
which was generally added a determi-
nation to see that nothing happened to
in any way weaken the control. There
was more or less individual discussion
of Mr.. Whitney's attitude among the
delegates. 1t was noted that there was
no expression OH the part of any one
favorable to yielding anything to the
gold standard element.
