nckinIey's plea For Home Markets.

You don't get consumers through
the mints," you get them through
the factories, said Major Mckinley
at Canton on Monday to a great
delegation of farmers from Knox
County, Ohio.
The speech was an arraignment of
the policy that would allow Russia,
India and the Argentine Republic to
supply our home market with
breadstuffs and produce and then
offer the impoverished American far
mer a panacea for low prices i'm the
shape of a 50-cent dollar.
"Whatever the farmer is suffering
today IL due to the fact tha5 his
competitors have increased i'm num-
bers and because his best customers
are out of work." said Mr.. Mckinley
The farmers have suffered i'm both
foreign and domestic trade. In 1891
80. under the Mckinley tariff, we ex-
ported 81, ,42O, ,OOO, 900 worth of agri-
cultural products. In 1856. under
the first two years of the wilson
German law, we exported $1,124,
000.OOO worth, showing a net loss
to American farmers of $3l9, ,0O0. 900.
Under the tariff law of 1880 we i'm
ported 1893 Ill ,OOO.OOO pounds oi
wool valued at $13,0OO, 900. In 1895,
under the WilsOn-Gorman law, we
imported 24S, ,O0O. 900 pounds of wool
valued at $32.77O.O 900, which meant a
loss Of nearly $3O 900, 900 to American
wool growers when compared with
the imports under the Mckinley law.
Wooden goods to the value nf SIG, ,Si,9. :
900 were imported In 1894, while In
1895 the imports amOuated to $57. .494 :.
OO0, showing a loss tn American mills
under free trade of $40. .6s5, 900. The
loss tn American woolgrOwers and
wage earners through importations
of wool. wooden goods, the destruc.
ton of 9.OOO,UOO of sheep, valued al
$6O, 600 600, and the Importation ol
shotidy is estimated at $62, ,OOO, 900.
But this IL not the only grievance
the farmer has against the Wilson.
Gorman tariff law. The abrOgation
of the reciprocity treaties with Ger
many and the South American re
publlcs cut on a market which under
the Mckinley law reached phenome
nal proportions. According to Pres
lidept Harrison's special message OF

nICTHELL'S DOUBTS.
The Oregon Senator Is Not so Sure About
Free Coinage.

WooDBURN, Ore, Sept. 15.-United
States Senator John I'll. Mitchell yes
terday afternoon addressed an
audience of 5000 people on the politi-
cal issues of the day. Senator
Mitchell has for several years been
coinage of silver at the ratio of l6 to
i. but he announced that he stood
with the Republican party and that
he was of the opinion that bimetal-
lism must be coupled with protection
to bring about that degree of pros
perity that rightfully belongs to the
United States
Speaking of his position on the
financial question he said:
while 1 have heretofore been i'm
international agreement on the sub
ject, l am and have been for some
months past, firmly of the opinion
that the prospect at the present,
especially i'm the event of the election
of the Republican ticket for securing
an agreement is now not only much
better than it has been in the history
of this government, but really ex-
ceedingly good. While have argued
earnestly and honestly i'm the past
in favor of bimetallism | have never,
as it seems is supposed by some.
opposed bimetallism through inter-
national agreement. But on the
contrary. l have always insisted
that If such an agreement could be
brought about it would be in all re-
spects better and more esatisfactory
settlement of the question, and such
is still my conviction. And, there
| fore, for these reasons in part,
appeal to my silver friends to stand
by the Republican ticket"

Moral Responsibility of Corporation.

moran HeBpOmSHDthty OF corporations
II am firm believer in the moral re-
sponsibility of every individual" said an
eminent jurist in recent conversation,
'tbut there are times when l find myself
Disguised beyond measure at the narrow
views held by certain set of men whom
my good old grandfather used to call
half bushel philanthropists.
"Some of the people, while they ad-
vocate all sorts of excellent theories and
work on really high moral lines, are
given to assertions that are really I'M
practical, and, in many cases, absurd
For example, here is a paragraph in
which railroad corporations are soundly
berated because they carry people to
racetracts. puglist encounters, and haunts
of vice generally. While it is of the
utmost importance to train the minds oil
the young to a realization of the neces.
sity for clean and moral lives If one
would develope symmetrical and well
rounded character, nothing but harm
can come from extreme assertions ane
theories that are illogical and often i'm
possible to carry out. The paragraph
says:
1.-THE railroads carry people to dent
of vice, thereby filling the pockets O.
the railroad owner, with wealth, and the
saddest of all is the owners of the roac
are holding the highest priced pews II
the churches of our land
"When a government grants charter
to a corporation to conduct the bushes,
of passenger transportation, the grant ii
comprehensive and absolute and nc
moral conditions attaches thereto The
laws of the land forbid outrageous
conduct on trains where passengers arr
carried, and there are legal enactment
beyond which license or liberty canno
step. But when it comes to abusing
railroad and reviling it because It car
ries people to evil resorts, philanthropy
and morality simply lose their heads
The government has no right to say TO
what purpose passenger shall board
train or where he shall go."-New Yorl
Ledger.

quarrel on their own account and fitting
out expeditions and maintaining them
selves at their own expense while COM
batting the insolence of the assertions of
the United States. The day has been
characterized by many manifestations
of public wrath and excitement.
In Barcelona the Spaniards have gone
to the extreme of usirg violence upon
the consulate of the United States and
stoning it, breaking several windows in
the building. No bodily harm was done
to anybody, except to certain members
of the crowd, which was charged by the
police when the stones were thrown at
the United States consulate.
There seems to have been a notable
increase of excitement and patriotic ar
dor in the people since yesterday, when
the news of the Senate's action was first
made known. How this may be due to
the fact of its being a Sunday, with its
accompanying absence of occupation
and the gathering of people In public
places for what amusement, entertain
ment or excitement may be offered can
only be conjectured. Such stress of
feeling as has existed today, If it con-
tinues for any length of time, cannot but
afford serious menace to the peaceful
relations of the two countries.
The Spanish authorities seem to have
felt apprehension of the form the peo-
pies wrath might take, and provided
special safeguards for the suppression of
disorders, and especially for the protec-
ton of any official of the United States
The preparations of the government are
not all of peaceful character, how
ever. 1t is significant that the minis
ter of marine, Admiral Jose Maria Be-
ranger, has issued orders for the train
ing squadron to be prepared to sail. 1t
is regarded as probable that this squad
ron will proceed shortly to Cuba.

MISSOURI DEMOCRATS.
GOIk wing of the Party Will Fight

ST. Louis, Feb. 7e.-As the result of a
call issued several days ago, 800 promi-
nenl Missouri Democrats who are OPP
posed to the free coinage of silver at
the sratio of 10 to I assembled here to-
day to protest, as they term it, against
being dread out of the party"
Among the more prominent leaders
present were Chairman Charles NJ.
Maffitt of the Democratic State central
committee, Congressman U. S. Hall,
Ex-Governor Francis and Hon. James o.
Broadeead.
A lengthy address to the Democrats
of Missouri was adopted unanimously.
1t starts out by declaring that the un-
precedented action of calling the State
convention to meet in Sedalia on April
18th, to elect delegates to the National
convention, three months in advance of
the meeting of the convention was done
with the avowed purpose of influencing
the party in other states and committing
the National Democracy to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio
of 10 to /, regardless of the relative
commercial value of the two metals and
regardless of the action of the other
commercial nations of the world.
The address then goes on TO say: ITO
make to the country at large showing
of strength they do not possess, the
advocates of this policy openly avow
their intention to secure the National
delegates from every district in the
State, if need be by depriving the voters
of the several districts of the right
never before questioned, OF choosing
their own representatives and electing
them through the action of the entire
body of the State convention.
"And while these advocates of free
silver propose, if they find themselves
in majority in the State convention,
TO deny all right of representation to
the minority, many of them at the
same time avow their purpose not 10

leigh is still sole receiver Of the North
ern Pacific railroad for the states of
Washington, Idaho, Oregon and Mon
tanai comprising more than two-thirds
of the mileage of the system. So say
Judges Hanford and Gilbert of the fed
eral court in denying the application of
the Farmers Loan and Trust company
to have Burleigh removed and McHenry
and Bigelow as the receivers appointed
by Judge Jenkins at Milwaukee, ap-
pointed in his stead. The decision was
handed down in the federal court here
this morning by Judge Gilbert, Judge
Hrnford concurring.
The decision contains a keen thrust
at the eastern people, who sneered at
the authority of the court here, and who,
it is alleged, disobeyed Judge Hanford's
command to appear in court. The deci-
sion is received here with general salts
faction. The decision quotes the order
of the circuit justice, declaring the Wis
consin United States circuit court to be
the court of primary administration, and
says: "But this court receives the right
at any time, upon the application of any
person or persons interested, or upon its
own motion, to make such orders and
DEGREES as shall seem just for the pro-
lection of the creditors of the railroad
| company residing within its jurisdic-
ton.
"It is urged on behalf of the Farmers
Loan and Trust company that the dis
charge of BurleiRh by this court and
the appointment of McHenry and Bigs-
low In his stead are necessarily involved
in the conclusion arrived at in said
