REV. LAMPKINS' PROSECUTORS
WHAT HE HAS IN HIS POSSESSION
SOME STARTLING DEVELOPMENTS
TO BE MADE.

a BEE representative met Rev:
s. G.. Lampkins a few days ago and
ne was asked The meaning of Revival
ter H. Brooks card. Rev LampkinS
remarked TO THE BEES man tnat he
would have his innings in few days.
Ii is understood that the Baptist Min
lsters' Conference intend to with
draw the hand of fellowship from him,
but" remarked Rev. Lampkins.
"when Christ called the aCCuserS OF
Mary Magdalene before him and said,
He without a fault throw the first
stone they turned their backs and
walked away. So ii is with those who
talk of Withdrawing the hand OF fellow
ship"
Another one OF Rev. Lampkins
friends remarked that the very men
who are talking of Withdrawing the
hand Of fellowship are today standing
on tlini ice, and at any moment they are
likely 10 break through. his same
gentleman claims to have IN his pos
session evidence that will startle the
community, to the effect thata a certain
prominent Ba ,tist minister who is al
ways preaching morality, has been
caught i'm compromising positions with
members of his church. His only re-
mark, when he was accused, Was:
"You know, brother, We are all &C
cused "
Rev. LampkinS is not at all uneasy,
and he and his friends are now deter
mined to vindicate Rev. Lampklns OF
the ialsity OF the charges against him.
and show that it is persecution and a
conspiracy on he part OF his enemies
ministers and laymen-to injure him
Rev. Lampkins said tnat he mas never
a, any time, acted in any way but as a
gentleman towards his people, and all
he asks is for the public to hold their
opinion. and it will be shown who the
guilty parties are; Men who have been
imposing upon the public as moralists
and defenders Of female virtue will be
shown up in their true light before the
civilized world" said another OF Rev.
Lampkins' enthusiastic supporters.
"Ijon't you think" said this gentle.
man. that we, are asleep. Rev. Lamp
kins will come out all right.

Perpetual Motion by Protection.

The California argument for higher
fruit duties is sort of perpetual mo-
ton The only disadvantage the Cali
fornia fruit raiser is at is to be found
in the cost of his land; but the only
thing that makes his land expensive is
the profitableness of fruit culture.
So the matter works out in this way:
The great profits of fruit raising sent
the value of land up to hundreds OF
dollars an acre. The interest on the
value of the land makes large item
In a fruit-raiser'S balance sheet, ana
he feels the need of high price for his
fruit. This Senator Jones procureS Tor
him by letting it be known that he
will not vote for the tariff bill unless IL
contains duties on hides and increased
duties on fruit and the cheapest sorts
woods.
The increased duty adds to the prof
its of fruit culture, and the price or
land takes another rise whereupon the
fruit grower complains that the inter
est on his land investment is so great
or the rental he has to pay for his land
is so high that there is an insufficient
profit in the business for him, and the
only thing that will save him from DIS
aster is more duty.
Logically TINS process can De cdffleu
on indefinitely. Practically it cannot,
because with the increase in the price
of fruit the consumption of fruit will
decline. The consumer will be worse
off for the change. The grower, so far
as he is not to be considered as land
owner, will be no better off, but. the
value of the land will be as high as the
profits of fruit culture will permit

We are assured by the Sugar Trade
Journal of May 13--organ of the sugar
truSt-that IF ever monopoly existed
in the sugar refining business it exists
no longer, and it is not likely that it
will ever be renewed" This is delight
full news. The Journal was discussing
an amendment to the senate bill to
have refined sugars pay the same du-
ties as raw sugars in cases where the
manufacture is controlled by mOnOp-
oily. If this visionary proposal should
pass the senate, it would jeopardise
the tariff bill and the sugar trusts tens
of millions Of surplus profits, which
are so near at hand that the mouths
of Havemeyer and SearleS are water
ing for them. The sugar trust trembleS
at the prospect and tries to keep up it's
courage by having it's organ inform
the world that "a lot of such visionary
proposals will, no doubt be introduced
while the bill is under discussion, but
in the end the Sound-judgment men
will control, and tariff bill be passed
without very much change from the
senate schedule"
The trust may be right. It usually
is, for it can predict what will happen
to the sugar schedule of the senate
bill 1t knows what demands will be
made by its agents and tools in the SEN
ate, and it also knows the power Of
those who make demands to enforce
them. 1t puts $7O,O00O00 against the
interests of 100000 people, and it
knows from experience which has
most weight in the senate, where two
or three hold the balance of power.
No; there is no sugar trust, and new
err was one.

Word has been received from settlements of
Minnesotians and Dakotans who have located
in the Canadian Northwest, and they report the
utmost satisfaction with their new homes
They enjoy the advantages of responsible gov
eminent, and with free, non-sectarian schools,
church privileges in all districts they feel
happy and contented The land which they
have selected is considered to be better than
that that they left in Minnesota and Dakota,
and the results are apparent in the large crops
which they have been able to grow and sell at
prices often higher than that realized this
side of the line. Many of them have selected
districts where diversified farming can be car
ried ON with ease and profit During the past
season, in one section of the Northwest over
100000 paid out for cattle, while a large
exporting firm has purchased in another dis
trict upwards Of 100000 worth. 1t will thus
be seen that farming in the Canadian North
west is pleasure, and can be done with profit,
while social and climatic conditions are all
that can be desired. In several districts
creameries are in full operation, and it is not
an unusual thing for the revenue from this to
keep the family in groceries and clothing, as
we'll as apply on farm payments that it may
be necessary to make.

Swapping Free Hides for DutiabIe
SuPar.

'The senate tariff bill, as a whole"
says eX-Congressman John De Witt
Warner, is a notice to Eastern manu-
facturers of what they may hereafter
expect Hitherto they have considered
protection as a sort of providential ar
rangement by which they were eIia-
bled to feed on the rest of the country.

The manufacturers of New England,
New York and Pennsylvania are to
take their turn at being mulcted for
the benefit of others who now control
legislation. This applies especially to
the hide schedule"
Cannot the New England senators
LABOR'S SHARE-NO. TWO
secure favorable changes in that sched-
ule?"
I think not. The bill as it stands is
satisfactory to the sugar trust, and
probably cannot be kept so except by
the votes controlled by the cattle trust
of the West. Were the New England
senators willing to risk offending the
sugar trust, they could doubtless de-
feat the duty on hides; but the fact is
that Boston and Providence in proper
ton to their size, are far more thor
oughly saturated with sugar trust in
fiuences than in any other part of the
country, and however much Senators
Aldrich Wetmore, Hoar and Lodge
may bewail the fate of their boot and
shoe manufacturers, there is no pros
pect whatever that they will sacrifice
the sugar trust interests to help them"
