1874 separate analysis chiefly carload lots showed AN
AVERAGE of 1901 per cent sugar in beet; 84.1 per
cent purity.
THIS REMARKABLE RESULT was accomplished by
farmers, unacquainted with the culture Of beet
root, on land and under very trying circum.
stances as the factory was not assured until May and
majority of the acreage was planted between JUNE
LIST AND AUGUST 10th.

DECLINE OF BRITISH EXPORTS.
Alleged Serious Competition from
the United states.

| LONDON, November Fright Hon.
Charles T. Ritchie. president OF the
Board OF Trade. made an important
speech before the Chamber of Commerce
of Croydon to-day, taking as his theme
the decline OF British exports during the
last ten moaths. upon which he hung a
grave warning against American compe-
tition, now "oustlng British trade"
Mr.. Richie. after declaring that the
Dingley tariff and the engineers trade
dispute were mainly responsible for the
recent decline OF exports. and after
pointing out that England had no
weapon against the tariff. said there
was a great deal OF talk in commercial
circles about the serious competition OF
Germany. but he thought they were too
apt 10 overlook a more serious COMPETE
tor. the United States.
THE facts are serious" he continued,
land call upon us for the exercise Of ali
our powers to enable us to maintain our
position in the commercial world. There
is no doubt that the United States is
executing orders which ought to be exc
cuted here. AS we all know. an Ameri-
can firm obtained the contract for the
Central Underground railway (of Lon
don). as its bid was lower than those of
English concerns, and It could deliver
the supplies three months ahead of the
British tenders Many important Con-
mental orders have gone TO America.
The same is to be said Of China and
Japan, where the Americans are doing
work that Englishmen should have done.
N consequence of the engineers dispute,
many orders are leaving the country |
md, unfortunately, these orders seldom |
eturn. -
Americas successful competition is |
Iue to her enterprisng capital, and due |
o the employment of the best ma
hinery, and working 1t in the most
manner, untrammelled by |
he restrictions which have hampered
here. Every one having
he countrys interest at heart must
ope that to-morrow's conference will
Fad to a settlement Of the unfortunate

Instructing Representatives.
Nynchburg News

(LynchDurg NeWS.)
The Emporia Messenger and the Rich
mond Dispatch are discussing the pro-
priety of holding mass-meetings in the
several counties of the State to instruct
their representatives in the Legislature
on the subject of retrenchment and re-
form. There are two sides 10 this ques-
ton. Nobody can object 10 meetings or
any number of citizens TO express their
opinion on any public question but when
such a meeting OF citizens, whether few
or many, assumes 10 instruct an accre-
dited representative Of the people-why
that is a different thing. The members
of the Legislature are elected by the
people. the whole people. and delegated
TO perform certain duties. They are
chosen because the people have conf
dence in their ability to perform the du-
ties required of them. How then can a
fraction of the people of any county as
sumo the authority 10 instruct the chosen
representative of the whole county?
delegate might properly disregard the
gratuitous instructions OF a mass-meeting
and remind his instructors that he repre-
sents all the people OF the county, and
that they expect him TO exercise his own
judgment and support such measures as
in his opinion will promote the welfare
of his constituents and the Common
wealth. The case might be different IL
all the voters In a county or city, or
even a majority OF them, should unite
in advocating a particular measure but
an ordinary mass-meeting is never com
posed of all the voters OF county or
city, or of a majority OF them. There

meeting to assume the authority to in

ARMOR-PIATE PLANT.
Government Establishment Recom-
mended-To Cost S3,OOO.oOO.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. November 2S.-
The special naval board appointed to
examine into the cost of armor-making
has designed a plant, the detailed plans
of which il will present TO Congress. 1t
will cost more than S3OO0.OOO, and will have
capacity Of 5000 tons of armor per an
mum, which is about the combined capac-
IT, of the two armor-plants now supply
Ing the navy. The processes of manu-
facture will include the very latest de-
veiopments in the art of metalurgy, and
While the plans contemplate the manufac-
ture of Harveyized nickel steel armor,
according 10 the methods used in the re-
forging process. they will admit of easy
adaptation TO the new secret Krupp pro-
cess of hardening armor by the. use of
gas.
The plans are said to be perfect In every
detail, and being drawn under one of the
leading experts of the country, the spe-
cihcations are said to be so well defined
that no difficulty is expected to arise in
securing straight bids.
The board has prepared the form of
advertisement calling for bids for the
construction Of this plant and Secretary
Long VIII soon issue the advertisement
1t is proposed to have. all the plans in
the Secretary's hands by the first of
next month. and IL the advertisement Is
promptly sent out. 1t is hoped that within
three months at the latest Congress will,
have before 1t full information as to the
cost of an armor plant, as well as offers
from existing plants TO sell out to the
government.

National Democratic Committee,
New York. November %, 1887.
ITO the National Democracw:
THE results OF the recent elections
we're in nowise discouraging to the sue
cess Of the principles for which the Ma
tional Democratic party has been bat
Ting.
| 1.-The silver organization lost the States
| of Ohio and Maryland, with the Legisla-
| lures, which will choose United States
| senators.
I'm Kentucky, the silver candidate had
a majority of only 49, with $1,000 cleo
tors. majority of whom were unques-
tionably for sound money not voting.
The National Democratic vote for the
State was twice as large as 1t was last
year, while the loss in the free-silver vote
was 10000.
"In Iowa, the Democratic sound-money
vote was doubled, Notwithstanding the
silver candidates abandoned that issue
and pleaded for support on State mat
tiers.
1.-THE sOund-money vote in both Ken
lucky and Iowa would undoubtedly have
been much larger had it not been for the
fact that the names of all the local can
,didates for county officers appeared on
the ballots under the free-silver State
tickets and emblems, thereby compelling
sound-money electors to scratch their
tickets or vote the free-silver State
ticket, in order to vote for the local Of
ficers
"In Massachusetts our vote was in
creased 25 per cent, while that OF the
free-siver candidate was reduced in the
same ratio.
I'm Nebraska the free-silver majority
was reduced, while South Dakota deserted |
the cause.
THE efforts of the National Democratic |
organization last year were to aid in |
saving the credit Of the nation from dis
honor. It's mission in the future will |
be. if possible. to preserve the true prin-
ciples of Democracy, until judgment and
reason shall again dominate the councils
of the party and its ancient creed be re-
stored to its platform.
Then, and not till then, will the work
of the National Democratic party be ac-
and its organization cease to
be an Independent one. The firmer the
and the holder the courage
Of National Democrats. the sooner will
the country be freed from the blighting
influence of impending disaster.
mo compromise with dishonor, no sur

should stand by his convictions and re-
louble his efforts TO uphold the princi-
