The composite chairman of the Popu-
list Democracy, Senator Jones of Arkan-
sas, is still resenting with considerable
heat the charge that since he is such an
important officer of the American Cotton
Company Capital $7,O00.O0O John E.
Searles, lately treasurer of the sugar
trust, grand moguil, it must be that ne
is high priest in the trust temple, or.
at least, that he is a reckless, abandoned
pIutocrat. To do Mr.. Jones entire jus
tice, we suppose that the American Cot
ton Company is not vicious trust which
deserves to be destroyed, any more than
a number of other corporations of ST.
000, 900 capital in the hands of former
officers of more monopolistic trusts. Pre-
sumably the American Cotton Company
will make all the money it can, will make
dividends, indeed, upon its 81, 600, 900 of
stock. Mr.. John e. Searles can be trust
ed to look after little thing like that,
even if Mr.. Jones devotes all of his at

the next three years, for that matter, to
Populist Democratic politics exclusively
The phase of Mr.. Jones' connection

MANUFACTURERS HAVE
A VERY BUSY YEAR.
Exports Under the Dingley Law
Show Vast Growth.
The Demand for Raw Material Is So
Great that Imports of Manufactur-
ers Material Have Also
Greatly Increased.

The manufacturers of the United
States are making their greatest record
in this closing year of the century. Busy
workshops, smoking chimneys, factories
running ON double time aud, in some
cases, the full twenty-four hours with
three shifts of hands, are an evidence of
this; but exact proof is found in the re-
port of the chief of the bureau of statis-
tics. just issued, which shows an enor-
nous increase in the importation of the
raw materials which they use in manu-
featuring and an equally enormous in
crease in the expectation of finished man
ufactures. 1mportations of manufactur-
ers' materials in the fiscal year 1900
were more than double those in the fiscal
year 1894 and during the three fiscal
years in which the Dingley law has been
in operation, have exceeded, by more
than 100000, 900, the imports of raw
materials in the three years in which
the Wilson law was in operation, while
the expectations of finished manufac-
lures, in the three years under the Ding
ley law. have exceeded, by more than
$500 ,0OO,O 900, the expectations of manu-
factures in the three years under the
Wilson law.
Evidence from Official Sources.
Here are the official figures showing
the importation of manufacturers ma
terials and expectations of manufactures
in the fiscal years 1895, 1896 and 1897,
all of which were under the Wilson low
tariff, contrasted with those during the
fiscal years 1898, 1899 and 1900, which
were under the Dingley tariff. The Will
son tariff, it will be remembered, went
into operation Aug. IS, 1894, and the
Dingley tariff on July %, 1897, SO that
the fiscal years ending June 30, 1895,
1896 and 1897. were practically all with
in the operations of the low tariff and
those of 1898. 1899 and 1900 were prac-

Growth of Foreign Commerce,

Our foreign commerce under Republi-
can administration in 1900 was worth
S2.244. 1888; under a Democratic free
trade administration in 1895 it was worth
only 81 .533. .a0S 139. an increase Of seven
huBdred million dollars year In favor
ot the Republican party.
Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Benton County, Or.) 1900-1909, 1900-10-05
$6s9, 9,452,3I2
Total .$615, 405. .152
.H.o6f .657.27s


The above table Is worthy of careful
study. We have been hearing, for years,
from Democratic orators first, that free
raw materials would help the manufac-
turers. and, second, that a protective
tariff destroys our chances in foreign
markets. yet it will be seen by this table
that the importations of Articles in a
crude condition for use in domestic in
dustries' amounted, in the three years
under the Wilson free trade law, to $685.,
405, ,152, while in the three years under
the iDingley protective tariff they amount
to $72S, 1921 1852. Look also at the narrow
column. which indicates the percentages
of the total imports which these raw ma
terials form. and you will see that they
form a much greater proportion of the to-
tai imports under the Republican system
of protection than under the Democratic
system of free trade. Why? The an
swer is simple enough. Under the Dem
ocratic low tariff, absolute free trade in
some particulars, many manufacturers
were compelled either to close their
works or reduce their output owing to
the heavy importation of manufactures
from abroad under the low tariff rates.
Hence the small consumption of raw
material in manufacturing. This differ
ence of more than 500, 100000 in the
quantity of raw materials imported in the
three years means difference of several
hundred millions of dollars in the amount
of goods manufactured and hundreds of
millions in the amount of money paid to
wage earners in the various manufactur-
ing lines.

WHO IS. MARK HANNA?

Who is this Marcus Hanna. pa.
That people call him great?

Which guides the ship of state?
Is he like old Goliath tall

Or, is he that awful wicked man
Who winks the other eye?
Tut, tut. my son. he's just a man
Like good old Reuben Blue.
Who has his way of doing things,
And 'knows thing or two!"
But why does Bryan hate him so,
And PeDocrats berate?
Is it because he's old and slow,
And isn't up to date?
Oh, no, my son, you bet your, life
He's not so very slow,
For when his shoulders to the whee.

Now tremble at his name,
Is cause he did it to 'em once

Demand for Hog and Cattle Products.


Through the Republican policy Of open
ing the mills and of restoring confidence
to general business. practically every
workman in the United States has be-
come able, since 1896. to have all the
fresh meat he wants. The fact that the
city workman can afford to eat more
roast beef, chops, hams, veal outlets,
bacon, pork, sausages, etc, than he could
in 1896 means Of course that there must
be more money in the farmers business
of raising corn to feed to cattle and hogs.
Take the many other products derived
from cattle and hogs, which had been
raised on corn, like lard, glue, gelatine,
isinglass, curfed hair for mattresses, ETC.,
brush bristles, felts, soap, glycerine, am
monia, fertilizers, hoofs for button mate
rial, cut bones for knife handles, etc,
poultry foods from dried meat scraps. al-
bumen for fixing colors and finishing
leather, neatsfoot oil, etc.,-all these have
naturally more extended uses when times
are prosperous than when they are not
For instance, lard-nearly every cracker
made is about one-eighth of it lard In
prosperous times the families of work
men go on picnics, travel, eat oyster
stews, and do other things which great
ly increase the consumption of crackers.
AS result of such increased demands
for the products from slaughtered hogs
and cattle, which in turn means better
demand for corn, there has been an en-
hancement in the value of live hogs and
cattle as follows:

TWO pRoMlOs IN REAL LIFE.

This Time They Are Women and Are
Afraid to Meet.
There are two ChicagO women whC
are anxious to meet and yet afraid Of
each other. They have never seen each
other, even at a distance, and would
probably go blocks out of their way to
dodge each other. The reason of all
this Is their remarkable resemblance.
Each Is stopped on the street by people
who take her for the other. The clerks
in the big dry-goods stores get mixed
over them. They have several friends
in common, who are always making
mistakes and telling about them. One
lives on the South Side and one on the
West, and they move in entirely differ
ent sets" this accounts for the fact
that they have never met.
Now both these women are handsom,
and stylish. and well groomed. In this
fact lies the reason of their being afraid
to meet. Each fears to find the other
better looking or better dressed or more
attractive. 1t really has come to such
a pass that neither ventures to go shop
ping without making swell toilet.
What was at first considered good
Joke has come to be a serious matter.
and has set the nerves Of both wcmen
awry.
The common friends are now schem
ing to bring them together. They ar
que that two women so much alike
should be the warmest sort Of friends.
But it does not take much Of student
Of human nature to predict that they
are wrong.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

ment for army rations at an enormous
profit. and pocketed a handsome rake
off on all other supplies furnished to
the tens of thousands Of soldiers In the
Pechili province. Then he was chief
supreme Of the custom houses for a
long distance around the Gulf OF
Pechili, and there was nothing mean
about the stream of gold that poured
into his strongbox through this chan
mel. 1t has long been Notorious that
one of the methods he employed was
to import large quantities Of goods
through his agents without the pay
ment of a cent OF duty, and then sell
the goods at a round figure to his coun-
trymen. This method Of money-mak-
ing finally involved the old gentleman
in troubles, charges were made against
him. and he came near losing his official
head; but his power was so great and
his real services to the state were SO
valuable that he was almost invulner-
able in spite Of the many enemies who
have always been ready to accuse him.
One of his great sources of money
getting employed by Ii Hung Chang
during the later years of his career as
Viceroy was as a money lender. 1here
is little doubt that he was the king Of
pawnbrokers the world over. His loan
offices were scattered far and wide
over his province, and he loaned great
sums Of money on mortgages and on
pledges Of personal property. In coun-
try where no legal rate Of interest is
fixed this business has brought enor
nous returns to Ii Hung Chang.

RICHEST IN AMERICA
THE CLAIM MADE FOR A MsxI.
CAN GYPSY.
1t Is Said that the Number and Value
of His Possessions Is Far Beyond the
Wealth of Vanderbilts, Astors, Rookie
fellers or Goulds.

If you believe one Of the Romanys of
Milwaukee then the richest man in
North America is not one OF the Wander.
bilts, Astors or Rockefellers, but a
simon pure gypsy, whose name is sim
pie John Smith. He lives in Mexico, is
SO years old and the owner of countless
acres, of myriads of cattle and sheep. of
gold. silver and onyx mines, of railway
and bank stock and Of plantations with
out number in the heart of Mexico 5
richest states.
Smiths wealth has never been figured
up. He cannot tell himself. His sole
ambition is to become the richest man
in the world. And it is this hope that
keeps him vigorous and drives dull care
away.
John Smith has no settled home. He
has hundred homes on his different
estates, and he moves from one to
another. In each he sees what is going
on, and gives his orders. Then he
moves on again. The Milwaukee gypsy.
Il solid business man, who comes home
now with the story of John Smiths 5
amazing wealth, saw him at Orizaba.
They became great friends.
God alone knows how rich | am.
said Smith, simply, but l think ! am
the richest man on the continent"
Smith was plainly dressed in suit of
English tweed, with hobnail shoes, But
his home was q revelation. Outside it
was a veritable fortress, with stout
walls of masonry. loopholed fordefense,
if necessary. A two-story wall inc!ose
it in a space as big as two blocks. and
a great moat surrounded that. The. e
were the regulation drawbridges and
portcullises.
Two massive inner doors barred the
last entrance. Once open it was n
wonderful place, with courtyard in
the center, where played perfumed
fountains and where beautiful gard n
grew. The entire inclosure was paved
with brilliantly polished onyx-the
ransom of a king in cOst-taken from
one of his mines. Even the stables
where Smiths herd of pet Jerseys wcrr
housed had the same costly flooring of
onyx.
Servants lounged about, but one of
the old mans eccentricities was to have
his own children wait upon him at
table. 1t was an incongruous picture
to see him Gathering around on the
splendid flooring in his coarse suit and
hobnails, while a soft light fell on the
strange scene shed by great candelabra
of solid gold from his mines.
Smith is an English gypsy. He went
% Mexico before there were any rail-
ways there, and was the first man to
haul machinery from the coast to the
gold mines which now yield him an in
calculabIe income. He got in on the
ground floor on everything that has
made Mexico so rich to-day.
But his life has been a series OF ad-
ventures Twice he has been shot down
by Mexican thieves who attacked his
gold trains. He was left for dead each
time. All the gypsies in Mexico are
wonderfully proud of him and call him
