steamer Mariposa, Capt. Hayward,
from San Francisco on April 8, which
arrived here, had on board Frank But
Ter, who is charged with having COM

guilty of the crimes laid at his door.
He says that he would have used his
revolver had he known detectives were
on board the Swanhilda.

Brief Comment.

Bryan 10 still keeping up hfs fight on thv
Cleveland wing Of his party. He attack
ed them viciously In his Jefferson's birth.
day speech. He knows that the contin-
uation Of this war between the factions
Of his party is the life of his personal no.
toriety, and Is willing to sacrifice party
to self every time.
Great minds will differ. Mr.. Bryan al.
sumed In his utterances regarding the re-
cent elections that his cause and himself
have been vindicated. On the other hand,
that sterling Democratic paper, the Ma
con, Ca, Telegraph, which expresses the
sentiment Of the genuine Southern Dem
ocracy, says: "The Democratic success Of
Monday shows unmistakably that Bryan
ism and Altgeldsm are done fo- in this
country"
One of the highest recommendations
that the Dingley bill has had thus far
and 1t has been highly commended from
various sections-is the fact that repre-
sentatives of various foreign governments
are entering protests against it. The OBJ
5ect of protective tariff is to take care
of American citizens, and when represent
atives of other parts of the world begin
to complain about it 1t is safe to assume
that the purpose of the bill is being ac-
complished.
Twenty per cent of gain in twenty
weeks Is pretty good record for any po-
litical party to make in work This is
the gain which the Rhode Island Republi-
cans made in the recent State election
over tho vote for Mckinley in 1896. This
Is the only spring election In which ma
tional politics have cut any figure, the
elections in the cities having hinged upon
purely local issues which had nothing to
do with the growth or otherwise of Repub-
lican or Democratic sentiment from a ma
tional standpoint.
The newspapers Of the country are at
tacking the Populists because they refuse
to vote for or against the tariff bill and
saying that they show political cowardice
by their course in this matter. The fact
is that the Populists recognize the over
whelming sentiment of the country in ia
vor of protection and yet do not dare to
so back upon their old alliance with the
Democrats, to whom they still look for
some crumbs of Office. should that party
ever again be successful.
The Popocrats are scared. There Is a
rebellion In the Democratic party against
further continuance of the alliance be-
tween silver Democrats and Populists,
and members of both these organizations
are wild with alarm. Mr.. Bryan's organ,
the Omaha World Herald. is frantically
appealing to the old members of the po-
litical job lot which failed in business last
November to still hang together. 1t says:
1T would be worse than folly at this time
for the Populsts to refuse to fuse with
the Democrats and silver Republicans"
and adds that continued combination Of
their forces means solid phalanx Of
silver forces in all campaigns from now
till 1900"

Encouragement for Farmers.

The Democrats all along the line have
always. as they do now, insisted that the
farming interests of the country never re-
ceived benefit from protection. Yet, in
spite Of these animadversions. and even
before the proposed Dingley bill had pass
ed the House, farm products began NOV
ing to higher levels of price, and are con-
tinuing to move right along because the
good effect Of proposed protection has
stimulated general trade and opened fac
tories that have long been idle. and made
or them greater consumers of what the
farmers had to sell. Wool. wheat and
corn have each advanced in value and are
holding their own. with a good prospect
OF doing still better. Stock of all kinds,
horses, cattle and sheep. have greatly
improved in price. and it may confidently
be stated that the said advance has been
the direct and good result of the proposed
protection that Congress is going to give
the country. The authority for these
statements Is derived from the standard
and recognized commercial agencies which
are located in the great commercial CEN
ters. and are thus enabled to state in ex-
act terms what the conditions arc.-Du-

why We Protect Everything.

There is no other nation on the face of
the earth so well equipped by nature as
our own to make broad and thorough
test Of the protective principle. There is
not one raw material of the first impor-
tance Of which We are not capable of
producing within our borders the great
bulk of our supply, and sugar, tea and
coffee are the only prime articles of food
for which we have to depend upon foreign
countries.
With these exceptions. America is, or
could easily be rendered. absolutely self
sustaining. And Hawaii and Cuba. IL
they were both within our possession.
could be developed to yield all the sugar
required for our needs. A vast country
like the United States follows an unerring
instinct when II endeavors to protect not
only its manufactures. but its raw mate
rials. The early tariffs of Washington.
Hamilton and Jefferson sought to protect
everything which could possibly be fabri-

The sugar Beet in Minnesota.

The report of the Senate Committee on
Beet Sugar Industry in Minnesota fur
nishes the farmers of the State with about
all the necessary information to enable
them to conduct experiments in beet rails,
ing successfully. The report has been
compiled for the committee by p. e. Kais-
er, A. NJ, who has evidently given to the
subject much time and research; and the
chairman, Henry Keller, who Is familiar
with the operations in Germany, the orig
inal home of the beet sugar industry, has
contributed much practical information.
The conclusion Of the committee Is that
sugar beet culture and sugar beet manu-
featuring are perfectly feasible in Mime
sofa, and that there Is hardly any limit to
the magnitude which the industry may at
tain when once started. They quote the
testimony Of chemists to the effect that
any good wheat land is suitable for beets;
also Prof. Shaw, Of the Agricultural De-
partment. of the State University, to the
effect that Minnesota could grow more
beets than would suffice to make sugar for
the whole United States. -

edly interesting and important letter from
Charles II. Cramp, ESQ., president OF tne

sents the shipbuilders' side OF protecuon

Sir: We have to deal with real facts ana

This is the existing condition OF the

The resulting fact Is that the enormous
revenue represented by the freight and
messenger tolls on our commerce and
travel Is constantly drained out Of this
country into British, German and French
nocLets. in the order named, but mainly
british: while the vast industrial incre-
ment represented by the necessary ship

For this drain there is no recompense.

hundred and odd millions annually sucked
out of this country by foreign ship-own-
ers and ship-buiders, no other legislation
can bring good times back again.

THE "sTRuooLE" OF 1893.

1t Was a Contest Between Honesty
and Dishonesty.
The struggle" of last year was not be-
tween ''the money power and the common
people," 1t was between the mass of the
people and combination of dishonest ras-
Gals who wanted to rob millions of the
community by means Of cheap, cheating
silver dollars, to be made to apply retro
actively on obligations incurred in honest
dollars and for the payment of future
wages Of labor and-by the aid of retroac-
tive legislation-for the payment of exist
ing debts. The confidence operators whom
Bryan headed, in furtherance of this vii
famous scheme, wanted to establish de-
based silver monometallism-not bimetal-
lism-so that all who had loaned money,
or sold property on time, or had money on
deposit in banks might be done out of half
their dues. That was the game for which
Bryan made his 600 speeches.
Bryan knew that the silver monometal-
lism he advocated and miscalled "bimet-
allism" would involve this wholesale
cheating all over the Union, but he did
not dare to justify or admit It publicly
he made hundreds of harangues during
the campaign in all parts Of the Union,
and he has made still more speeches since
his overwhelming defeat, and has written
big book since then, putting them into
type, but he has never dared to avow the
purpose and effect of his retroactive
scheme of wholesale reputation and vio-
iation OF existing contracts and pecuniary
observation-disclosures Tribune.

the sort of suit which Prof. Wilson con
templates for the average American indi
vidual He argues In his newspaper ar
ticies ut so much per column for the New
York Herald. that the tariff placed on
wool by the Dingley bill will add at least
20 per cent to the cost of suit Of clothes
Since an increase of 20 per cent in the
price of a suit of clothes means an In.
crease of probably 50 in its cost, and the
proposed duty on wool Is IL cents pei
pound. Mr.. Wilson must calculate that
forty pounds of wool would be used in the
manufacture Of a suit of clothes. This
is n fair sample of the misleading and alb
surd propositions upon which the free
traders build their theories and sometimes

Successful Secretary OF Agriculture

Secretary Wilson. the new head of the
Department of Agriculture, Is demonstrate
ing that he Is the right man in the right
place. Unlike the Nebraska busybody
who preceded him. he does not spend his
time In writing theoretical essays on top
res which in nowise concern his depart
ment. Secretary Wilson believes that he
was appointed to his present position to
promote the interests of the tillers of the
soil, and he is not only devoting himself
strictly.t to these duties, but he is devot-
ing himself to them in a practical and
sensible way. which promises to be of the
utmost value.
One of the reforms he has inaugurated
Is to collect new seeds from all parts Of
the world, and to distribute them, with
the necessary instructions, among farmers
who are likely to put them to use. His
object Is to encourage a greater diversity
of farm products Nothing could be wiser,
no matter from what standpoint the mat
ter Is viewed.-New York Commercial
