spoils the beautiful theory which Dem
ocratic shriekers were spreading
broadcast that the municipal elections
were hopeful sign of restoration for
the Democracy. He admits that the
success was purely upon the question
of municipal reform and that national
questions did rot enter into the cam
paign. Investigation of the conditions
attending Democratic success in other
cities show that this was the case gen.
orally. In not single one Of the
municipal elections did national issues
cut any figure, while in the state cleo
ton of Rhode Island. where national
issues were at the front, the Republic
cans increased their vote 20 per cent
over that which they gave to William
Mckinley in 1896.

Buddha Sakya- Muni's long lost birth
place was recently stumbled upon ac-
cidentally, according to the Pittsburg
Chronicle, by a government archaeol-
ogical expedition in Nepaul. sent to
explore the country around his Mir
wanna stupa at Konagamma. BY blum
der the expedition met the Nepalese
authorities Is miles from the place to
be explored, near the tahsil of Bhag-
wanpur, in the district Of Buranl. While
encamped there mOnOlith Of the en-
peror, AsOka, was noticed standing ten
feet above the ground. On it was a
pilgrims inscription of the ninth
century, which led the expedition to
dig around the stones to a depth of
fourteen feet, when an inscription of
the emperor was found. He states that
in the twelfth year Of his reign (about
239 b. c. he had erected this column
On the very spot where Lord Buddah
was born. Eighteen miles northwest OF
the column the expedition came upon
great ruins of stupas, monasteries, and
palaces covered with forest and
stretching for i've miles to the Ban
ganga river, the circumference being
about seven miles. This is the site Of
Kapilavastu. the capital Of Buddha's
father, and will undoubtedly yield in
scriptions earlier than those of Asoka.

Heavy Weight Clothing That.

Professor Wilson, who is now adding:
to the $4,000 which he has drawn in
salary from the government during the
past few years. by writing articles at
SO much per column for the New York
Herald, says in a recent attack upon
the Dingley bill that the wool tariff
will add more than % per cent to the
cost of clothing. By this he means
that about S. will be added to the cost
of suit of clothes. AS the rate of
duty named by the bill averages Il
cents per pound. the professor must
calculate that 40 pounds of wool goes
into a suit of clothing. But what bet
ter can be expected of a man who
framed such a measure as that now
upon the statute books bearing his
name?

The south Want. Protection.

The experience of the South in the
past few years with the new industries
developing there, the manufactures and
the new demands which they call out
has strengthened the protective senti-
ment very greatly. Not only has it in
creased the demand for material for
use in the manufacturing establish
ments, such as cotton, lumber, iron.

class, but it has also proved advan-
tageous to the general agricultural in.

Mr.. Henry Wallace of Des Moines,
Iowa, delivered an able and instruc-
tive address before beet sugar con-
vention at New Ulm last week. He
puts the question to the farmers in this
way: why grow so bushels Of corn
to the acre and sell it at 20 cents per
bushel, when you can grow from 10 to
20 tons of sugar beets to the acre and
sell it at from 81 to S. per TOM"
Fifty bushels of corn at 20 cents
aggregates SO; ten tons of beets at -
aggregates $4O-and twenty tons Of
beets at S. would bring 800 per acre
gross. II the possibilities of profit from
beet culture are even as good as the
lowest aggregate named, 1t would not
take much to induce our northwestern
farmers to turn from corn and wheat
growing to sugar beet culture. All
the inducement they would need would
be the guarantee of a steady market
for the beets.
Could a steady market be insured if
large percentage of our farmers We're
to engage in beet culture? On this
head Mr.. Wallace presents some facts
and figures that are very striking. He
says there is practically unlimited mar
ket in this country for sugar. Accord
ing to official statistics our people have
consumed during the past three years
an average of nearly IS pounds of sugar
per head. To supply this demand We
have imported during the last four
years an average of 1.672,613 tons of
sugar, and to pay for this sugar re-
quires about our total export of wheat
and flour combined I'VE pay" says
Mr.. Wallace, from SIC, DOC, 900 to $780,
OOO, 900 a year for our imported sugar.
while our exports of wheat and flour
combined have been but about $95, oOO,-

False Figures to Bolster Free Trade.

False Figures to Bolster Free Trade.
A very careful and thoroughly in
formed writer on finance has thrown
down a gauntlet which Mr.. WOrthing-
ton C.. Ford. chief of the bureau of sta
tistics in the treasury department dur
ing President Cleveland's term of Of
flee, must pick up. or confess himself
to be discredited. Mr.. Ford has stated
officially that the exports of American
manufactures for the calendar year
1896 amounted to 1856 1862 sos, and
thereupOn the Democrats have assert
ed the Wilson tariff to be the most ben
eficial of measures, acting directly to-
ward enlargement of our foreign
trade, and, of course, creating de-
mand for home labor in the manufac-
ture of the articles exported.
It may be said in passing that if the
free trade statement, Tariff is tax
added to the price of the thing upon
which duty is paid" be true, then the
wages paid for the manufacture of ar
ticles of export must be lower than
those paid for articles manufactured
for home use. For such exports must
compete with the ''untaxed manufac-
lures" of foreign countries.
But the gentleman who. under the
signature of ''Statistician," occupied
nearly two columns of the Inter Ocean
of Wednesday, valves all special pleas
and boldly denies the accuracy of Mr..
Ford's figures, and in great detail sets
forth the name and value of every class
Of manufactured exports during 1896,
and finds them to be not 1855 .962, sos,
as officially set forth by Mr. Ford, but

Tired OF the Populist Combination.
The Topeka Democrat Is a newspa-
per of unimpeachable Democratic reg
ularity which put its brains in its pock-
ct and faithfully supported Bryan in
the campaign of 1896. This is what
it has to say about the matter now:
Fusion is dead in Kansas. A united
Democracy and no further fusion with
the selfish and arrogant Peoples par
ty. The supreme duty of the hour for
Democrats in Kansas is to cut loose
from the fostering corpse of the Peo-
pies party. The ranting Populis:s,
with full power to act, have tried their
hand at state government. Does any
sensible man want them back again?
We should profit by experience. The
Democratic party did not win in the
late presidential campaign because it
took too heavy q load at Chicago in
its platform. Capital is proverbiclly
timid. The business interests of the
country took alarm at the revolution
ary platform. 1t was a clear case Of
"biting OF more than they could chaw."
The result should serve as warning.
The Populist party is doomed. 1t will
never command the confidence Of the
people. II the Democratic national con-
vention in 1900 shall repeat the blum
der Of 1896, in laying down platform
to catch Populist votes, We believe 1t
VIII meet with even q greater disaster
at the polls than 1t did last November.

The Legitimate Fruits of the Chicago

The Legitimate Fruits of the Chicago
Platform.
In addition to this abandonment of
the vital principle of tariff reform, the
convention at Chicago nominated for
president man who had repeatedly
declared that the free coinage Of silver
was the only aim to be considered, and
who in the whole course of his can
vass either evaded questions about the
tariff or absolutely refused to discuss
the subject. The cue was taken by
all the free silver orators and press,
and from first to last nobody heard a
tariff speech or read a tariff editorial.
The subject was tabooed There was
nothing but silver and abuse of sound
money Democrats.
Four of the FIVE Democratic members
OF the House who voted for the Ding
ley bill are pronounced silverites, and
the Republican silverites and Popu-
lists in the House either voted for the
bill or refused to vote at all. Not
even to this late day has Mr.. Bryan
abated one jot or title of his cam
paign position that free silver was the
whole thing.
What impudence it is, then, in Nc
Millin and other sixteen-tO-one-or-bu
enthusiasts to get up now and howl
about the tariff principle which they
shelved in the national
convention. to gain protectionist allies
with whom they are still cheek by jowl

Prof H. B. Alvord says skim milk is
worth ten cents per one hundred pounds
simply as a fertilizer 1t Is worth TWEEN
ty-five cents per one hundred pounds for
feeding purposes and at two cents per
quart, or 81 per hundred it is cheaper as
human food than is any other animal
food. Skim milk is not appreciated as II
deserves. 1t is not only the cheapest an
imai food at it's usual selling price
but it is far the easiest to digest, and
the most wholesome. Instead of prohib-
itng its sale, or throwing round it veXa-
tious restrictions, cities should encourage
it by every possible means. They could
confer no greater benefit on poor people,
and charitable organizations could do no
greater good than by establishing depots
at convenient places in thickly-settled
quarters where pure. fresh. sweet skim
milk should be retailed at two cents a
quart. Pure skim milk. fresh from the
separator. could be had at this price in
most of the cities, if it were consumed
in large quantities.
