TIE PLUCKsD FARMER.

The effect of the Dingley tariff bill
on the farmers is certain to be disas-
trious for reasons that are very aptly
stated in the following editorial from
the St. Louis Republic,
Farmers will find instructive read
ing in the debate in the German Reich
stag on the Dingley bill and the COM
mercial relations of Germany and the
United States.
Although no definite official pro-
gramme was outlined, Count Won
Kranitz, the agrarian leader, probably
fOreshadowed the policy of Germany
when he intimated that it would not
be advantageous to abrOgate the most
favored national treaty, but Ger
many could give the preference to
the Russian against the American pc
troleum and place obstacles in the
way of imports of maize, raw copper,
bacon, hams, sausages and cotton from
the United States. Germany has al
ways done this to our loss; the in
crease of the tariff will merely stimu-
late German restrictions on American
products.
German discrimination against
American grain, bacon, hams, sausages
and cotton will mean a reduced mark
ct for the agricultural. products of
this country which is in no wise COM
pensated for by protection afforded
American agriculture. AS The Re-
public has shown repeatedly, as long
as we raise a surplus there can be
none.
"In the preferential duties Canada
has already Disseminated against
American products. SO the CONNER
cial war aroused by the vicious policy
of putting up bars against our neigh
bOrs goes on and the American farmer,
selling in a restricted market at the
worlds prices or at even less because
of the decreased demand for his com
modities, duped by sham protection
and plucked by the favored manufact-
urers, is pinched TO death, The
American farmer will some time learn
that in order to thrive he must have
the worlds markets to buy in and to
sell in. The same privilege which en-
riches him will enrich the manufaCtur-
ers and the trading community"

Ex-President Benjamin Harrison,
when in Chicago on business the other
day, was left at home in the hotel to
"mind the baby" while Mrs. Harrison
went out to replenish the baby's ward
robe, and do some shopping. Accord
ing to the testimony of half a dozen
bell boys and several chambermaids as
to the ex-president's performance of
this new duty, he evidently had COM

QUOTES 4 NEW RATE
500 WILL CARRY FLOUR TO NEW
YORK AT TWENTY CENTS A
HUNDRED.
FIVE CENTS OF A REDUCTION
OVER THE TARIFF OF THE mi
TIAL LINES, WHICH IS JUST
EFFECTIVE.
ITALIANS CAUSE MUCH TROUBLE.
BIamed for Passenger DemOraliza-
ton Between St. Paul and CHI
cagO, Chicago and Denver.

A bomb was cast into the camp of
the initial flour carrying lines yester-
day by the appearance of a 500 tariff
quoting 20 cents per 100 pounds, Mime
apolis to New York or Boston and 18
cents. to Philadelphia on export traffic
The tariff is effective Thursday, and
amounts to a slash of five cents in the
rate recently agreed upon by the initial
IiEes, and effective yesterday, on
foreign shipments of the white stuff
The result, unless the 500 people can
be persuaded to withdraw the tariff,
is obvious. The % cent rate, which
held alike for domestic and export
business, is brushed aside, certainly for
foreign business and possibly later will
be for home shipments, and that too
after meetings were held, demorallza-
tion cured, and a corresponding ad-
vance from Michigan and Lake Su-
perior points and Minneapolis agreed
upon so as to establish parity of
rates. To be sure some of the trunk
lines rather funked when it came to
putting on their advance fortnight
before the initial lines did, but that
trouble was ended when the tariffs
were amended so as to be all operative
on the same day, and yesterday was
the day. And now the bomb.
The other lines must meet the eX-
port rate quoted. Whether the 500
action will disturb the domestic rate
or not remains to be seen. The Min
neapolis millers have for some time
wanted a lower export than domestic
rate in order to keep within bounds
a too keen competition in London,
Manchester or Antwerp or wherever
the stuff was shipped to abroad.
Whether this fact will be sufficient
to bring about what has never been
before, a lower foreign than domestic
rate on flour, will undoubtedly develop
when the traffic officials get together.
In the meantime, they are getting over
the shock which came just as it was
supposed that matters would go on
smoothly until the close of navigation
on the great lakes.

and family for two years at $40, according
to the terms of the law recently declared
valid by the state supreme court. The Michi-

The Lake Shore refuses to sell mileage tick
cts of any kind.
To get a case against the two roads. Gov.
Pingree today made demand for mileage
tickets in person and was refused by the
Michigan Central for less than $780, and by
the Lake Shore absolutely. He declares he
will fight the case all through the courts
as fast as they be reached. The roads
named are operating under special charters,
which it is claimed, exempt them from state
enactments regulating the sale of tickets.

INSULT TO GERMANY.
Baden Incident Taken Seriously by
the Berlin Press.

BERLIN, Oct. 25.-The refusal of the
czar and czarina to receive the Grand
Duke and Grand Duchess of Baden at
Darmstadt, after the latter had inti-
mated to their Russian majesties
desire to visit them, is vigorously crit
icised by the German press. The Grand
Duke and Grand Duchess of Baden, as
announced by the Carlsruhe official
Gazette received reply from the czar
saying that his majesty had already
made arrangements covering every
day until his departure from Darn
stadt, and, therefore, his majesty
would be unable to receive them. The
government issued orders today for
bidding the telegraphing of any COM.
ments on this subject and it's gravity
may be gauged when it is added that
many of the German newspapers re-
gard the occurrence as an insult to the
whole nation, as the Grand Duchess Of
Baden is a daughter of Emperor Will

AMERICAN IMPRISONED.
Righ-Handed Proceeding in the Re-
public of Nicaragua.

MANAGUA; Nicaragua, Oct. 25.-John Au-
gustine an Americana citizen, was arrested at
San Carlos, at the mouth of the San Juan
river Sept. "a by order Of President Zelayas
brother without any pretense Of trial, and
imprisoned in the penftentiary. Mr.. Augustine
was formerly United States consul at Blue
fields Mosquito Territory, and is at present
in charge of the Navigation company's steam
ers on the San Juan river. About Oct. 3 MI.
Augustine succeeded in sending word OF his
Imprisonment to the United States consul, at
Managua, who it isR claimed, informed the
prisoner that he could do nothing for him,
citing it is alleged, the instance of two
tramps from the United States, who had been
arrested several months ago for cause and
who were shipped out of the country. How
ever, about Oct. 5, the fact of Mr.. Augustine's
Imprisonment became known to United States
Minister Baker, who wrote to President
Zelaya on the subject with the result that
the prisoner was allowed to leave the peni-
tentiary on parole with orders not to leave the
city of Managua.
The facts in the case seem to be that the
government Of Nicaragua, several days pre-
vious to the arrest of Mr.. Augustine, had
forcibly taken possession of the steamers Of
the Navigation company, and was running
them to suit itself. On Sept. 2S Mr.. Angus
tine was ordered by government official to
direct the movements of the boats, apparently
for the pul pose of getting the company to
feed and pay the officers and men on board.
This Mr.. Augustine refused to do, unless the
boats were turned over to the company and
he received orders from the latter to comply
with the governments demand. Under these
circumstances, Mr.. Augustine requested the
Nicaragua military officers commanding at
Fort San Carlos, to telegraph to the company
for Instruction. But, instead it Is asserted,
this officer telegraphedl something to his su-
perior officer, which caused an order for the
arrest Of Mr.. Augustine to be issued "wheth-
er he is citizen Of the United States or
not"

ITALIANS CAUSED 1T.
Decentralization Between st. Paul,
Chicago and Denver.

CHICAGO, Oct. 25.-Italan laborers who
are leaving points in the North and North
west for warmer places in which to work
during the winter are responsible for a ser
ious Generalization in rates between st. Paul
and Chicago and between Chicago and Den
yer. Notwithstanding the resolution adopted
some time since by the st. Paul-Chicago
roads to rigidly maintain rates, they are
taking the Italians at any figure that Is
necessary to get them away from some COM
peting line. The rates now in effect run
anywhere from $3.50 to Sc, the agreed rate
being $S.05.
The Milwaukee St. Paul road has an
nounced that it will meet any rate that
it finds is being made by any of its com
petitors Chairman Caldwell has notified
the road that he cannot accept its notice
as under the association agreement it must
specify what rate 1t intends to meet be-
fore the notice can become effective. From
Chicago to Denver the Italians have also de-
moralized the rates.
The competition has been so keen for this
business that although the regular rate is
$3.50, the roads are, when necessary, tax

An Effort to Extradite an Alleged

PARIS, Oct. 25.-The United States
embassy will make an application to
the French government for the extra
dftion of William R. Foster Jr., who
absconded from New York on Sept.
26, 1888. with, it is claimed, $19S, 900
belonging to the gratuity fund Of the
New York Produce exchange, and
who was arrested at Neuilly, near this
city, on Saturday last by the French
police at the instance of the Scotland
Yard detectives. The latter have been
tracking Foster for long time past,
in efforts to secure the reward of S5 0o0
offered by the New York Produce ex-
change for his arrest. The English de-
tectives found out that Foster had
been living in London with a music
hall singer who passed as his niece,
and when she started last week from
London to Paris the detectives follow
ed her and located the fugitive.

PULL MAN MILLIONS.
Disposition of the Estate Not Yet
Made Public.

Made Public.
CHICAGO, Oct 25.-The disposition
of the estimated $50, 900, 900 left by the
late George NJ. Pullman will not be
known with certainty for at least an
other day, it being found impossible
to probate the will before tomorrow.
Robert Lincoln and Norman B. Ream,
executors of the estate of the multi
millionaire, said that even by tomor-
row it was doubtful whether they
would be able to offer the will for
probate. The property left is so vast
that it may take several days to estl-
mate its value as the law requires. All
sorts of stories are current in financial
circles over the Pullman will. 1t was
said positively that the estate was not
worth over $20,000000 or $25,000,000
Some we'll known La Sale street men,
however, say that George NJ. Pullman S
income has averaged 100000 annual
ly for a number of years. Mr.. Lincoln
said today that there were a great
number of public bequests, but refused
to give them out. Neither of the exc
cutors of the will would confirm or
DENY the statement that Mr.. Pullman
had disinheTited his two sons, George
M. and Sanger w. Pullman. Neither
one of the young men is said to be
violently drawn toward business
career. and for that reason it has been
declared that the bulk of the property
is left to the widow and Mrs. Frank
Iowden, a daughter. The Chicago uni
versity comes in for large amount, it
is also said. According to one report,
Mrs. Frank Carolan, of San Francisco,

has opened with rush and all boats that
can will get out before the close of the week.
The Isaac Staples has been laid up in the
lake here all summer, but was pressed into
service on Sunday, leaving in the evening
with raft of logs for the Standard Lumber
company, Dubuque. Shipments yesterday
were: The Ed Douglass and Frontenac with
logs for Laird Norton & Co., Winona; the
Musser, with logs for Laird, Norton & Co.,
and the Empire Lumber company, Winona,
and the Lafayette Lamb, with logs for Du-
buque and Bellevue. The Sam Atlee is in
port and will get out today with two full
RATS Of logs.
Judge Crosby has notified Clerk Doe, of the
district court that he will be unable to
be here for the purpose Of holding a special
term today. All cases on the calendar for
hearing will be adjourned for the present.
The board of registration meets today for
the last time, but it is expected that only
a few names will be added to the polling
lists. The vote cast in the city last fall was
a trife over 1900, but it will probably not
be over 1900 at the coming election.
