The pastor met Mr.. West and

with scanned dried up face, that
would have done credit to mum

quickly that he wanted no ruffles

heather showed up and wanted to
know "where that chicken eating
parson was?" He was not punct,
ual anyhow and had no regard for
time, or business principals, as his
contract was to get to work pun

Finally Brother Downs put a
great COB of gloom on his face and
looked painful for a moment or
two, and then said, "you unregen-

his cast-steel face softened as he

He looked the groom over to see
if the grOoms ueck-tie was cor
reotly tied in a hangman's knot
under the left ear, wept a little
and then in a bhsky faltering voice
said: "Grab RandS-Htchsd- Ten

out the cash he remarked, "Bro.

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 a broad and thorough
test of the protective principle. There rs
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. tea9and
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. if
they were both within our possession.
could be developed TO yield all the sugar
required for our needs. A vast country
like the United. SIptes follows an unerring
instinct when it endeavors to protect not
only its manufactures. but its raw mate
rails The early tariffs of Washington.
Hamilton and Jefferson sought TO protect
everything which could possibly be fabri-
Gated or grown in Americs. Jefferson. in
his fierce protectionist zeal. wished that
the Atlantic might be great lake of fire
to cut lis off utterly from Europe.-Bos-

The SUGAR Beet in, Minnesoea.

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
inaf 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.

nose of promoting legislation looking to
the announcement of American shipping.
There was a general exchange of views.
Senator Ekins' bill providing for a dis
: terminating duty on goods imported IN
American vessels afforded basis TOT
much of the proceedings, but there was a
want of unanimity of opinion upon all OF
IFS provisions Mr.. Griscom presided anu
the meeting was private.
Several addresses were MADE during tne
day, by those in attendance, one OF the
most important being the following decio-
edly interesting and important letter from
Charles H. Cramp, Esq, president OF the
Cramp Shipbuilding Company 1t pre-
sents the shipbuilders' side of protection
for American ships very forcibiy:
Sir: We have tosdeal with real facts and
actual conditions. The interests of ship
owning and >ship+building are identical,
because no nation can successfully own
sbins that cannot successfully build them.
No nation can either build or own SHIPS
whom unprotected and unencouraged, it
;s brought in competition with other ma
+ions that are protected and encouraged.
TSb;s is the existing condition of the
sbin-owning and ship-building interests of
the limited States.
Tho resulting fact is that the enormous
revenue represented by the freight and
,ossenoer tolls on our commerce and
travel is constantly drained out of this
country into British, German and French
pockets, in the order named, but mainly
Rritish: while the vast industrial incre-
ment represented by the necessary ship
building inures almost wholly to Great
Britain.
For this drain there is no recompense.
II is sheer loss. 1t is the principal cause
of our existing financial condition.
So long as this drain continues no tariff
and no monetary policy can restore the
national prosperity.
/ Until we make some provision to keep
at home some part at least of the three
hundred and odd millions annually sucked
out of this country by foreign ship-own-
ers and ship-builders, no other legislation
can bring good times back again:
1t is constant stream of gold always
flowing out.
The foreign ship-owner who carries our
oversee commerce makes US pay he
freight both ways.
For our exports we get the foreign mar
ket price less the freight =

THE "STRUGGLE" OF 1893.
1t Was a Contest Between Honesty
and dishonesty.

1t Was a Contest Between Honesty
and dishonesty.
The struggle" of last year was not be-
tween 1.-The money power and the common
people" 1t Uas 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 funtheEa nee of, this vii
lainous scheme, wanted to establish de-
based silver monometallism-notb bimetal-
ljsm-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 miscaIled "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 kaen. putting them into
type. but he has never dared to avow the
purpose and effect of his retroactive
scheme of wholesale reputation and VIC
lation of existing contracts and pecuniary
ligations.-Chicago go. Tribune.
