JONES AND HIS COTTON BALE.


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,O0O,0O0; John e.
Searles, lately treasurer of the sugar
trust, grand mogul, it must be that he
is a high priest in the trust temple. or,
at least, that he is a 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
a number OF other corporations of ST.
O00,0 900 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 100000 of
stock. Mr.. John e. Searles can be trust
ed to look after a little thing like that,
even If Mr.. Jones devotes all Of his at
tention for the next three months, or for
the next three years, for that matter, to
Populist Democratic politics exclusively.
The phase Of Mr.. Jones' connection
with the American Cotton Company
which we would like him to explain is
this. rather: How much of the $1,000
600 of the stock Of the company has he
got. how did he get it. and what did he

Total .s72s. s21. $50

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 protective
tariff destroys our chances in foreign
markets, yet it will be seen by this table
that the importations of Articles in
crude condition for use in domestic in
dustries'' amounted, in the three years
under the Wilson free trade law, to $6l5,-
405, 152, while in the three years under
the Dngley protective tariff they amount
to SIPS, S21 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 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.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1900-09-28

give for it? Is his name, undoubtedly
an eminent one in some quarters, used in
the board Of directors as a 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
huential 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 a very critical time?
We have never known a 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 ut
tacks upon leading Republicans puts
himself very much in the public eye and
invites attack from any quarter. Mr..
Jones has no business to live in a glass
house with perfect safety If he is going
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 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 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
ufactures. Importations 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, 0O0, 600, the expectations Of manu-
features in the three years under the
Wilson law.
x 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 1888, 1899 and 1900, which
were under the Dingley tariff. The Will
son tariff, it will be remembered. went
into operation Aug. %, 1894, and the
Dingley tariff on July 26, 1897, so that
the fiscal years ending June 80, 1895,
1896 and 1897, were practically all with

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 4. 1900:
"My Fellow CitizensI will not con-

umphantly at Yorktown, made effective

1857, sustained by united people in
every war with foreign power, upheld
by the supreme sacrifices of the volun-
teers of 1851, 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
the American heart. and still have their
force and virtue. loud and enthusiast
tic applause.) And adhering to them as
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 more perfect union, stron-
ger and freer than ever before, strength
ened in every one of its great funda-
mental safeguards, and mightier in its
power to execute its holy mission of lib
erty, equality and justice. Summoning
the precepts of the fathers, we will main
tain inviolate the blessings Of free gov
eminent at home and carry its benefits
and benediction to our distant possessions
which lie under the shelter of our glorious
fag." Enthusiastic and long-continued
applause.)

Exports Increase 5000, 600, 600.

We exported $1,394,479,214 worth of
in the year ending June 80,
1900. That was under a Republican
administration. In the year ending June
80, 1895, under a Democratic admins
tration, we exported goods worth $685.
392. 500. The increase favoring the Re
publican policy is almost exactly six hun
dred million dollars in the year.

Failures Are Fewer.

The total liabilities of firms that failed
in the year ending June 80, 1900, was
500, S79, $780, In the year 1896 the fail
ing firms owed $226,O96,S34 It will thus
be seen that the amount lost is only
about one-third what it was in 1895. 1t

Demand for Hog and Cattle Products.

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 1895, 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.
singlass, curled 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
~ 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:
