they will not vote at all. If the bust

Pearl Button Industry


Pearl button-making was first made
possible in the United States by the
Mckinley tariff Of 1892 OF course the
industry was nearly destroyed by the
free-trade Wilson bill of 1894. After
further protection was given the indus
try by the Dingley tariff of 1897, the
eighth biennial report of the Bureau
Of Labor Statistics for the State of
Iowa says:
"a remarkable development of the
business was witnessed in 1898, no less
than thirty-six factories being estab-
lished during the first six months of
that year."
Seven towns in Illinois and six in
Iowa are centers of button making. 1t
supports an important fishery, and as
the report says:
Besides the people thus directly con-
nected with the business, many others
in more than score of towns are bene-
fitted, including merchants, machinists,
boatmen, draymen and transportation
companies"
Democratic free trade will kill the
pearl button business, throw lots of
people out of employment and injure
local trade and transportation.

Our Trade Expansion.

A series of special articles recently
appearing in the London Times, adj
dressed to the British manufacturers,
calls attention to the increasing exports
of American products, especially to
Great Britain and her colonies. The
Times considers the matter one of
grave Importance, and it is not in En-
gland only that our increasing export
trade causes comment. Continental pa
perS have treated the matter with in
terest and alarm. A recent shipment
of manufactured goods to Australia the
largest ever sent to that part of the
world from the United States, indi-
Gated the kind of articles that consti-
tute these increased exports. The cargo
consisted of sewing machines, musical
instruments, vehicles, typewriters, troll
ley appliances and shoes. Anotherlarge
shipment recently made was seventeen
carloads of cotton goods from an Ala
bama mill to China. Europe evidently
doesn't like our expansion.

CORRUPTION In CUBA.
Rumors Of Frauds in Customs Ser
vice-Congress to Make Search
ing Investigations.

Washington, D. c., May 25.-An ex-
plosion in the Cuban customs service is
threatened, which promises revelations as
sensational as the disclosures in connec-
ton with the postal service.
An official of the customs service, who
has just returned from Havana. brings
information that the customs service
there is honeycombed with fraud and cor
ruption, and the employees interested are
trembling in fear Of investigation.
That Congress must make thorough
investigation of every department of the
government Of Cuba is the conclusion be-
ing gradually forced upon administration
leaders in both houses. Nothing short Of
a searching inquiry by committee con-
tanning representatives of the minority
party will be accepted
1t is declared that investigation will
show that through lax business methods
and incompetent and INSCRIPTIONS en-
ployes thousands of dollars have been
diverted from legitimate channels into
the pockets Of dishonest officials and
their accompliccs. Disbursements of
sums ranging from 500 to $4,000 have
been made to persons who have not per-
formed any service whatever it is said,
and in many instances without the for
mality of presenting vouchers.

COTTON MILL NJ EN-.
FIVE HUNDRED OF THEM MEET
IN THE SOUTH.
President J. III. McAden> Says Every
Industry Is Prospecting and that All
Are Together for Prosperity-Be-
1ieves in the "OpeA Door,"

One of the largest assemblages of cot
ton mill representatives ever held IN
the United States convened recently at
Charlotte, N. c., the occasion being the
fourth annual session of the Southern
Cotton Spinners' Association. Five
hundred mill men were in attendance,
and it is estimated that the total capt.
tai represented aggregated $50O,O0O,OOO.
President j. II. McAden called the
convention to order. After cOngratu-
lating the members Of the association
upon the large attendance at the con-
yention, President McAden said:
"A long period of depression is at an
end, every industry is prospecting; every
man who can work and will work can
find employment at good wages Money
is easy, the finances of the country are
ON a sound and safe basis, confidence
is restored, bright future awaits us,
and we may confidently look for a pc
riod of industrial development unequal
ed in the history Of this country. 1t
gives us great pleasure to give you a
cordial welcome at all our meetings.
There will be no division of territory, no
Mason and Dixon's line, with the manu-
facturers. We are all together in one
common interest and one common
cause.
1--WE are endeavOring to convert the
raw material into manufactured prod
uctS and to find a good market in for
eign countries. Our export trade alone
with the empire of China, without any
organized efforts on our part, will ex-
coed $25,00O,OOO.
1--WE should favor and urge perma-
nent and vigorous policy on the part OF
our general government in favor Of the
open door policy with China, and we
should hold and govern the Philippine
Islands, which are destined to become
the distributing center of the Eastern
world, and make our country the CEN
ter of Eastern civilization.
1.-THE great hope of the South is in its
manufactures. We ask for no class
legislation. With extended commercial
relations with foreign countries, new
territory opened before us, we can plant
our products wherever our flag floats,
and successfully compete with the
world.
"We should give strong expressions
in favor of appropriations by the State
governments for building and main
tanning textile schools.
''There are many things we could do
for our operatives tenement
houses comfortable, adopt improved
sanitary and ventilation regulations
build churches and schools, and provide
libraries. We should do all in our power
to erect high standard of morals, and
elevate and dignity labor"

Roddy, received from his rival a chal-
lenge to fight in the place and manner
described. Tom Thunder has been rag
ing mad ever since Roddy was elected the
successor Of BLACK Hawk" and white
Buffalo's" Celtic blood has at last been
stirred to equal frenzy. He said last
night that he had no fear of the out
come. He is a master of the favorite
weapon of the Winnebagos ard says he

The challenge sent to Roddy is as fol-
lows:
Thomas r. Reddy, Chicago.-Sir: learn
through the papers that you are still talking
about being inaugurated chief of our tribe,
and let me inform you that protest against
such talk, and furthermore, give you fair
warning that you will have to settle with

methods common to the slippery white men
to be made chief. Our young men are

this subject in it's last national plat

decidedly opposed to the dragging of
the shipping question into partisan pol
itics. They told him that the shipping
question was business propositions
commercial question, and Of great and
pressing national Importance; that
they so considered it. and that they
were quite ready to defend their posi-
ton at any time.
In these very favorable circum-
stances. for the Republicans to defer
action on the ship subsidy bill until the
Democratic National Convention can
be whipped into adopting an expression
in it's next national platform, opposing
Government aid for the upbuilding of
American shipping, will make it infin-
itely more difficult than ever for cour-
ageOus and patriotic Democrats to sup
port the measure. 1t means to gravely
imperil, if not actually defeat, it's final
passage.
The prestige of Democratic success
in compelling the Republicans to defer
action at this session on the ship sub
sidy bill-since postponement will be
regarded the country over as Demo
cratic, free trade, foreign shipping vic
tory-will make it all the easier for
them to defeat action at the next SEES
sion, and all the harder for Republicans
to secure favorable action.
The opportunity Of generation is
within the grasp Of the Republican
leaders in Congress if they have the
courage to grasp it by passing the
shipping bill before adjournment at
this session.

PORTO RlCANS PLEASED.

British Consul There About the Only
Man Who Wants Free Trade.
A private letter received from an
American in Porto RIGA indicates that
talk Of the hardships predicted to fall
upon the Porto Ricans following the
enactment of the tariff and civil gov
eminent laws for the island is moon
shine. In his letter he says:
''The people here, irrespective of
caste or condition, hail the passage of
the Foraker bHl with the greatest de-
light and are now beginning to prepare
for a revival of business and good
times. There seems to have been a
very grave misrepresentation of facts
made in the United States concerning
the wants of the natives and business
men of this island in so far as it re-
lates to the tariff. 1t is a mistaken
idea that free trade is wanted here. On
the contrary the merchants (99 out Of
every hundred want small tariff in
preference, and in fact did not at any
time object to the % per cent. first
talked of. They are bright enough to
prefer small indirect tax to a heavy
direct form of taxation, to raise the
revenues necessary to conduct the gov
eminent of the island. About the only
ones desiring the benefit of free trade
are a few foreigners like Mr. Finley,
the British consul at San Juan, who
have bought up all the sugar and to-
bacco in sight at low figure, and have
been holding the same in anticipation
of free entry to the States, thereby
enabling them to realize more largely
OH their investment.

to DevO1op Mines.

London, May 25.--Cecil Rhodes, Alfred
Belt and Julius Wernher, with other
South African mining millionaires, are
about to develop gigantic mining en-
terprise in German West Africa.
The Daily Express asserts that gold
silver, copper and lead have been found
in abundance within 400 miles of Wal
fisch bay. One hundred thousand pounds
will be spent in prospecting, and then, if
the results warrant the outlay, $4,000
600 will be expended in constructing a
railway.
Christopher James, mining expert,
who has had experience in Mexico and
California, will lead the prospecting expe-
dition, which will leave England in June.
