rage upon the rights of humanity,
but a direct detriment 10 the inter
ests of the United States.
These individuals do not comprc-
hend that but for protective tar
iff manufactures could never have
gained footing in this country:
that we would to-day be dependent
upon Great Britain for all commo-
dities of life. barring those Of agri-
culture. and that even in that line
we would he wholly dependent up
on her for a market. In other
words, we would simply be bar
tering nation-trading our surplus
to the old mother for her manufac-
lures, she fixing the prices at which
she would accept our agricultural
products.
Instead of being in that condi-
tion we have created a vast home
market, susceptible Of consuming
the larger part of our products,
both manufactured and aericultur-
al. With respect to this we are
practically independent of all other
nations.
In addition to this we stand
ready and able to updeesell Great
Britain in all lines of manufactures,
even in her home markets, and
in the marts of her colonies the old
mother is not in it at all.
Protection has given to the Unit
ed States brighter and more eff
cicnt workmen, and has put into
operation machinery surprising
that of any other nation.
1t has accomplished more than
that. 1t has educated the chill
dren Of the mechanic through the
public schools. 1t mas clothed. fed
and housed the families of opera
tives in a style and comfort un-
known to workmen Of the old
world.
1t has done all these things, and
more. 1t has raised the cmploye
to the level of the employer, and
rendered it possible for him to be-
come an employer.
These are few of the things
that protection has accomplished
for the people Of the United States
and yet the Democratic party
would abrogatc its every principle.

A Borrowers Nerve"

A subscriber to the Moberiv
Monitor had been annoyed by Il
neighbor borrowing his paper be-
fore he got a chance to read it him
self. He went to the publisher and
got him to slip in his paper each
week a statement for subscription
account, with the words, "Please
remit" III large letters on the bot
tom. There was no result for a
month, and then little curly
headed son Of the borrower toddled
over one morning, and, holding
one of the bills up in his hand,
said: ''Pleath, thur, papa thaith

The Effect Of Prosperity.

So we'll informed and reliable an
authority in live stock matters as
the Drovers' journal, of Chicago.
may safely be quoted in reference
to the facts concerning the recent
advances in prices of meats. The
statements of this Journal fully
sustain the assertion Of the Ameri-
can Economist that the chief cause
of the increase in the wholesale and
retail prices Of meat is to be found
in the tremendous increase in con-
sumption that has attended the re-
turn of prosperity. The wage
earners of the United States are
not only more numerous but they
are eating more meat per capita
than at any previous period of our
history. The Drovers' Journal
says:
''During the past week no less
than $500 head of cattle were sent
out from Chicago to Western feed
lots, being more than half of the
entire shipment of live cattle. In
addition to this, as legitimate rea-
son for advancing tendency in the
market, is the greatly increased
demand consequent upon general
prosperity and the largely enhanc-
ell consumptive ability Of we'll en-
ployed labor. As showing the
great power of the present con-
sumptive demand, it is only neces-
sary to call attention to the fact
that while the receipts of hogs are
larger than last year, prices for
live hogs are nevertheless Is cents
per 100 pounds higher at Chicago
than in 1898"
Average September prices for
cattle are now higher than at any
time since 1884, the advance in the
past few months averaging $40 to
$13 per head. In Chicago a few
days ago a herd of twenty-eight
Indiana cattle sold on the hoof a,
$685. per 100 pounds, the highes,
price realized since Christmas,
1892. These are golden days fol
the farmer as we'll us for the wage
Garner. While the latter finds tha,
protection and prosperity have
greatly augmented his purchasing
and consuming capacity for meats

TuE Ironton Register frequently
makes statements that CRATE upon
every sensibilty of truth and JUS
tice. For instance, last week in
commenting upon report OF the
delay in the trial and the i'll
prison treatment of the Occur
d'Alene miners at Wardner, the
Register says: ''Thesc men were
taken prisoners by the Z. S. mill
tary because they had dared to
oppose their will to the will of their
lords and masters, the mine own
ora. Think of it, free Americans!
Imprisoned, starved and tortured,
without trial" The uniformed
and projudiced readers of the Reg
lister, will, naturally, at once con-
eludo from the above statement
chat tho imprisoned miners
are charged with no more serious
crime than that they had ''dared to
oppose their will to tho will Of
their lords aud masters, the mine
owners" The truth Of the situa-
ton (which the Register failed to
state) is that tho men are charged
With being the ring-leaders of d

Missouri has two Democratic
factions, one is ruled by the admin

other is opposed to ring rule. The
ring usually takes everything in

Countering on the Copperheads.

The New York Times calls at
tention to the fact that ''the enlist
mcnts for the newest regiments to
be sent to the Philippines are most
rapid in Missouri and Massachu-
setts," and adds that this suggests,
in the states named, ''an ignorance
of or Indifference to anti-expansion
agitation" This is circumstance
which is certainly calculated to
disturb to anti-expansionists. As
consequence none of them are re-
ferring to the big contributions
which Missouri, in which Bland 5
district is situated, and Massachu-
sets, in which Atkinson and Gar
rison reside, are making to the
forces which are preparing to sub
vert Aguinaldo.
There was great rejoicing few
weeks ago in the ranks of the
American Tagals when the Bland
district, which has been overwhelm-
ingly Democratic for the past
third Of century, except in 1894,
when apathy defeated that party,
had gone Democratic again. This
not only led them to think that the
entire West had turned against ex-
pansion, but that no more soldiers
could be got from this region to
help to put down the Luzon allies
of Atkinson and Bryan. But they
were mistaken. St. Louis all
along has stood near the head of
the cities in number of volun teers
which she has furnished for the
war, both against Spain and the
Filipino rebels. The copperhead
candidate for President, whoever
he may be, will get the same sort
of treatment in this town in 1900
that his Filipino friends are going
OF get when the campaign reopens.
| Aguinaldism will be just as weak
at the polls next year as it is prov
ing itself to be in Luzon this year.
The great number of the enlist
ments in Missouri and Massachu-
setts show that the whole of the
country is against the copper
heads. There is a great ''anti
imperialist" demonstration in a
few of the newspapers and in the
league in Massachusetts which i

LONE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

California Stage Held Up and the Pas
sengers Relieved of valuables.
NAPA, Cal, Sept. 15.-The Calistoga
and Lakeport stage was held up yester-
day by a solitary highwayman, who
made off with the express box. The
scene of the robbery, known as "Des-
perate Bend" was an admirable spot
for the successful carrying out of the
highwayman's plant. The road there
runs through heavy underground and
comes suddenly around curve, the
stage driver was confronted with a
masked robber, who covered him with
his shotgun and ordered him to stop.
The passengers were then commanded
to dismount from the stage and were
drawn up in row, while the highway
man distracted the express box of
Wells, Fargo & Co., but left the
United States mail bag. After robbing
the passengers, the bandit then plunged
into the thicket which adjoins the road,
and the last heard of him was report
which probably indicated the blowing
off Of the lock On the express box.
