However, some of the stockmen whom

which they attribute to smut on the

OLD BLUE.

Each year sees old blue China be-
coming increasingly scarce. 25 years
ago it could be picked up at farm
houses and old residences for a mere
song. Now pieces in fine condition,
particularly those bearing pictures Of
famous American buildings, have be-
come the fad OF collectors, and very
large prices are being paid for them.
Much of this old blue reached this
country in the first quarter Of the CEN
tury. 1t was because Of the prejudice
against all goods made In England that
the Statfordshlre pottery makers put
on their wares illustrations of Ameri-
can buildings and scenes. "a Collec-
tion of Old Blue" is shown and de-
scribed in the January Delineator.
a novelty in connection with the ar
ticle is that the pottery is printed in
the actual color.

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 $7,000,000; John e.
Searles, lately treasurer Of the sugar
trust, grand moguD, it must be that he
is q high priest in the trust temple, or,
at least, that he is reckless, abandoned
plutocrat. 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
number of other corporations OF vs.
100000 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 $T,OO0,OOO OF
stock. Mr.. John e. Searles can be trust

give for it? Is his name, undoubtedly
an eminent one in some quarters, used in
the board of directors as bait to catch
investors? Did Mr.. Jones himself pay
par in leash money" for the stock that
he holds? Is his possession of it, or any
part of it, due to the fact that he is in
iluential in the finance committee of the
United States Senate, and by virtue OF
his position there could do his company,
or Mr.. Searles', or almost any company
of the kind in which he or Mr.. Searles
might have an interest, very important
service at very critical time?
We have never known gentleman of
Mr.. Jones' financial prospects to grow
rich suddenly except by some means of
this kind. In other words, and to be
plain, it is fair to infer, until Mr.. Jones
denies it, that he is ''it," neither on ac-
count Of his cash, nor his property, nor
some invention of demonstrated value,
but rather on account of his "pull" or his
swing. We say that it is fair to infer
this until Mr.. Jones denies it, because
Mr.. Jones, by reason of his unjust at
tacks upon leading Republicans puts
himself very much in the public eye ant
invites attack from any quarter. Mr.
Jones has no business to live in glass

to keep throwing such large stones.

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 Manufacture
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 and, 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
ufactnres. Importations of manufacture
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 500, 100000, the imports Of raw
materials in the three years in which
the Wilson law was in operation, while
the expectations of finished manufac
tunes, in the three years under the Ding
ley law, have exceeded, by more thai
$500, 100000, the expectations of manu-
factures in the three years under tn
Wilson law.

M'KINLEY ON THE WAR.
The Government Will Carry Liberty
Into All Its Domain.

At the exercises in connection with the
presentation by the Navy Department to
the city of Canton, Ohio, of a cannon
captured at Santiago, the President, af-
ter repeated calls, responded as follows
on July A. 1900:
"My Fellow Citizens-I will not con-
sent to prolong these exercises beyond
making acknowledgment for your gen
erous call and expressing as well the
pleasure which have had in participat
ing with my neighbors and fellow citizens
in the observation of this anniversary

most significant, in American annals. The
sacred principles proclaimed in 11T6 in
the city of Philadelphia, advanced tri-
umphantly at Yorktown, made effective
in the formation of the Federal Union in
| 1887, sustained by a united people in
every war with a foreign power, upheld
| by the supreme sacrifices of the volun-
teers of 1861, scaled in solemn covenant
at Appomattox Court House, sanctified
within the last two years with the best
| blood of the men of the North and the
men of the South at Manila and San
tiago and in Porto Rico-still animate

we have always adhered to them at any
cost, or at any sacrifice, we find ourselves
after one hundred and twenty-four years
formed into a more perfect union, stron
ger and freer than ever before, strength
ened in every one of its great funda

power to execute its holy mission of lib
erty, equality and justice. Summonin,
the precepts of the fathers, we will main

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 S615,-
4O5.152. while in the three years under
the Dingley protective tariff they amount
TO S72S, ,S21 ,352. 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 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 SlO0OOO,OO0 in tho
quantity OF raw materials imported In tho
three years means difference of severa
hundred millions of dollars in the amoun

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,

Dies in Hog I'cn-Body BADLY Mute

Special to Times Republican.
Grundy Center, June 8--Ihe body of
J. p. Suttman. former county recorder
OF this county, was found in a hog pen
here about 10 o'clock this forenoon The
the body badly mutilated by the hogs.
3Suttman had been missing about two
hours, having left the house about 8
O'Clock. His absence from home had
not occasioned much surprise, but as he
had failed to return a daughter went
out to the back yard to see what he was
about. A terrible sight presented itself
when she arrived at the pen in which
q couple Of hogs belonging to the family
were kept. The mutilated body PARTIAL
ly eaten by the pigs was being dragged
thru the offal and filth OF the pen. The
face was badly eaten. other parts OF the
body badly lacerated and the clothes
nearly all torn off, presenting q horrible
appearance. The daughter did not rec
ognize that IT was the remains Of her
father and hurrying to the house relat-
ed that she had seen. Neighbors We're
quickly summoned and. recovering the
body from the swine, soon identified it
as that of Mr.. Suttman. 1t was with
considerable difficulty that the wife and
daughter were made to realize the truth.
] The coroner was notified and an inquesr
will be held. 1t is the general SUPPOSE
ton that Mr.. Suttman had gone out to
feed the hogs and while in the pen was
seized with fainting spell, and having
fallen was quickly set upon by the hogs
and killed before he became sufficiently
conscious to realize his terrible position
Suttman was about SO years Of ase

4 PECULIAR ACCIDENT.
Valuable Work Horse Fails Into an
Abandoned Well.

Special to Times Republican.
Fort Dodge, June s.-M. L. Meyers, a
farmer living at the south edge Of the
city. lost valuable work animal in a
peculiar manner. His 14-year-old boy
was blowing In field Of corn when one
of the horses broke thru a hole in the
ground. In her efforts to pull he: foot
out the other one went in. The boy un-.
fastened the traces and dropped the
tongue of the cultivator to give the
horse better chance to free herself. In
her efforts to get out she went IN fur
ther, until she was unable to get out.
He called to a brother to bring pole.
while he held on TO her. Before the boy
could get the pole the horse was sud-
denly precipitated into what afterwards
proved an abandoned we'll. She lodged
fifteen feet from the top of the opening.
The father secured man with four
strong horses to help him get the ani-
NAL out. Her pititul neighing nerved
them on to the work OF digging a trench
thirteen feet deep. The dirt flew in all
directions until it was completed. A
temporary hosting apparatus was COM
spleted and the four horses hitched to a
strong rope. The harder they pulled the
firmer she became wedged into the side
OF the well. She died before she could
be rescued. Mr.. Meyers had refused
= 300 for her
