War-Tax Law

Minneapolis, Mimi, March IA jury in

article l. section 9, which says that no
tax or duty shall be laid on articles ex-
ported from any state" All railroads are

PAYS A TRIBUTE
TO AMERICA
And Praises the Ingenuity of
the American People.
PROMINENT LONDON FINANCIER
Talks Of the Great Increase In the Con-
sumption OF American Made Goods
in Great Britain within the
Past Year, and It Cause.

Chicago, Sept. 21.-The Records Lon
don correspondent says:
England's increasing demand for
American products Is a tribute which
we are glad to pay to commercial in
genuity," said Lord Avebury, president
of the Associated Chambers of Com
.cc-.ce oi the United Kingdom and chair
man of the London Bankers associa-
tion, in an interview with the Record
correspondent today. Asked for an ex-
preston of opinion relative to the
American competition on British trade
his lordship continued:
"An adverse balance of trade Is not
an unmitigated evil. We have been
forced into a rivalry with American
cleverness. Utilizing in the highest de-
gree the possibilities of machinery,
American manufacturers are entitled to
enter foreign markets under unap-
proachable advantageous conditions.
We believe, too, that the immense in
dustrial combinations in the United
States have done much to cheaper the
cost Of production here, as well as to
furnish the sinews which the conquest
of new fields Of distribution makes nec-
essary.
British buyers have never been ac-
cused of a want of sagacity. They are
looking for the best and will buy Il
where it can be bought cheapest even
IL the pursuance of this policy results in
an excess of imports over exports, which
has happened in the case of our trade
with the United States. At least we are
no poorer for having made this admis-
eli
competition is the life of trade and Eng
land does not begrudge any Of her sister
nations a market which awaits their
skill and enterprise"
Lord Avebury headed the delegation
of British merchants and manufacturers
which has just returned from a fra
ternal visit to the French chamber Of
commerce. Speaking of the reception
accorded the English deputation in
Paris and of it's impressions Of the pres
ent status of Anglo-French relations, he
said:
WHACK AT THE FRENCH PRESS.
"The visit was not needed to assure
us that responsible people in France do
not sympathize with the anti-English
feeling which a portion of The French
press is so industriously endeavoring to
foment. Commerce is, after all, the
link which binds nations together in
an indissoluble union. Frenchmen who
who represent political as well as in
dustrial stability in France know that
the best interests of each country are
all against the disturbance of peace
full relations. The press of France is
not a responsible press in the sense in
which it's English and American con-
temporaries are. Its policy is often
dictated by a desire to satisfy an i'm
aginary demand. The level to which
certain Partisan journals saw fit to des-
cend at the beginning of the South Al
rican war never evoked a responsive
feeling in the heart of La Belle France"

A MILLION A DAY
The Rate at Which the Census
Count Is Being Tabulated-
Complete By Nov. |.

Washington, d. c.. Sept. 22.-Directcr
of the Census Merrimam said today
that the result Of the present census
will certainly be announced by Novem-
ber 1. Present indication are that the
result will be known sooner, and 1t
may be that earlier in October the grand
totals will be announced.
While great credit is due Director
Merriam for the dispatch with which
he has carried on the work, the early
date at which the result will probably
be known is due largely to the efficiency
of the large clerical force under Gov
ernor Merriam's direction. The tabu-
lator. upon which largely depended the
quickness of the count, was in the be-
ginning of the work placed under the
merit system. Each one was started at
at a salary of $50 a month. with the
promise Of promotion with increase of
deftness in the work of tabulating.
This started a strong rivalry among the
clerks, and soon there were promotions
to $50 and then more to SIS, until now
nearly the entire force has advanced to
really lucrative positions.
There are now 400 women engaged
in the work Of tabulating, and they are
counting noses at the rate of more
than 100000 day. II the present rate
IL mainta ned, or even approximately
maintained. the work will be completed
In about 20 days. excluding Sundays.

SOLDIERS WE'RE UNDERPAID.
That's DOnavin's Claim and He'll
Not Refund Any Money
to the Government.

Columbus. Sept. a. The recent ac-
ton Of the war department in claiming
a sum of money alleged to be due from
Captain George B. Donavin, of this
city, as overpay received during the
Spanish war, has stirred up trouble.
Donavin claims that he was not over
paid, but that all other volunteer
quarterma sters, adjutants and assistant
surgeons were underpaid during the
war. He will refuse to refund to the
government the sum alleged to be due
from him, and when sued for the
amount will test the truth of this con-
tention.
Donavin alleges that the war depart
ment paid the officers mentioned $3.50
per month, ranking them as mounted
lieutenants, whereas, under a law Of
June, 1898. they should have been paid
$167 per month and ranked as mounted
captains. He alleges that the action
of the department was arbitrary, and
not only not justified by law, but in
direct contradiction Of the terms Of
the law.
The matter is Of great interest to all
volunteer officers Of the grade named.
as, In case Donavin's point IL well taken.
q large sum Of money will be due the
officers a. back pay.

Had Numerous Relatives.

The relatives of Jonas Snyder, Of
Plain township, whose death occurred
suddenly Thursday, are very numerous
and he was one Of the best known men
in the county, having a wide circle of
friends. He had not complained to his
family that there was any trouble with
his heart and 1t is not known that there
ever was. His death. therefore, was to-
tally unexpected. Some Of the relatives
and friends have been misled by pub
lication that 1t was James Snyder
who had died. This is erroneous. as It
was Jonas Snyder. who resides on the
Harrisburg road. The funeral, as an
nounced In Fridays News-Dem0crat.
will occur Sunday morning at the late
residence at 9 o'clock. Interment and
burial service at the Wearstler ceme-
terry at 10 o'clock.

HE WILL TREAT
SOLDIERS RIGHT.
Mr.. Bryan Says They Will Have
Nothing to Fear.
CITIZENS OF A REPUBLIC.
He Thinks They Would Rather Remain
That Than Citizens of an EN-
pire-Delegation Visits

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 21.-Mr. Bryan
spent the greater part of yesterday in
going through his accumulated cores
pondence. He also received large
number of callers. The only formal
performance Of the day was visit from
a committee of 25 members Of the Bryan
Veterans Bimetallic club, Of this Uan-
caster) county, who called to assure him
of their support.
In his reply Mr.. Bryan reviewed
briefly, his own experience as a sailor, of
which, he said, that, while 1t was brief,
1t was instructive. He also outlined
his views of the duty of the govern
ment toward the ex-soldiers, assuring
them that he would not be willing to
receive the support of the soldiers II he
did not believe that their interests as
soldiers, as well as their interests as
citizens, would be protected under a
Democratic administration.
''If am successful in this contest and
become the chief executive of this ma
tion," he said, "your may rest assured
that during the four years Of my admin
istration the soldiers Of this country
who offered their services when their
services were needed, and made the
sacrifices which soldiers are called upon
to make, will receive just and generous
treatment at the hands Of the admins
tration.
"The soldier, therefore, as a soldier.
need have no fear under the administra.
tion should be honored with the suf-
frage Of my countrymen and elevated
to that office.
But, the soldier is citizen as we'll as
a survivor of the war. and take It
for granted that your interest in this
campaign Is due in part to the fact
that you are ciizens Of a republic, and
do no care to be citizens of an empire.
I take 1t for granted that your interest
in this campaign is due not only to
the fact that you live here now, but
also to the fact that you ex-
pect your children to live here after you.
my greatest solicitude is not lest l
fail to be elected president, but that I
may do nothing to destroy the good will
and confidence which have been ex-
pressed by you and those like you
throughout this nation"
Mr.. Bryan has fixed the date for de-
parture on his next tour for next We'd
nesday. He will speak Wednesday night
at Nebraska City, Neb.. and then pro-
ceed northward to South Dakota, max
ing several speeches en- route.

lCOMPETING
WITH 1 BRITAIN.
Consul Skinner Tells OF Coal
Trade With France.
DIFFICULTIES TO BE OVERCOME
Eventually Mr. skinner Expects to See
Thousands Of Tons of American Coal
Go to Europe with the
Massillon Man.

Massillon, O., Sept. 2l.-Hon. Robert
p. Skinner, United States consul at
Marseilles, France. is now spending his
vacation in Massillon, where he for
merly resided. Mr.. Skinner believes
that American coal is destined to I'LL
q permanent place in the old world
markets.
During the first six months Of the
present year." remarked Mr.. Skinner
today, 5000 tons Of West Virginia coal
were delivered In Marseilles. By jan
uary I expect the importations to
reach 100000 tons, as consignments
were coming in rapidly when left
Marseilles. Early in August, Cardiff,
or English coal, was selling at S775 a
ton in Marseilles to the steamship COM
panies. Under present conditions
American coal can be unloaded in Mar
settles for $6.75 ton. American coal
for steam purposes has a high value.
In fact, there Is no complaint as to its
quality. The objection Is to the size.
Cardiff coal, which is mined by hand.
Is put upon the market In the form Of
large Jumps. American coal, which is
produced largely by blasting, even
when the Jumps are large at the mouth
OF the mine, are 80 shattered that three
or four landings and q long sea voy-
age often results in so much dust as
to make the coal understandable un-
less mixed with Cardiff coal.
"It Is believed, however, that these
difficulties can be overcome, and I look
to see hundreds of thousands Of tons
annually sold in European markets.
Though higher wages are paid in Amer
ica than in Europe the American oper-
ators can produce coal for less money
than the mine owners Of the British
Isles. British coal is all produced by
hand. In America where mining
plants of enormous capacity are en-
ployed in it's production, coal can be
placed at the seaboard at less expense
than British coal can be shipped. The
advantage the Cardiff operator enjoys Is
that he has to ship his coal but 1000
miles, while the American producer
must cover $500 miles. By selling at q
small profit, however, the American
operator can compete successfully with
the English producers"
