rest of the world seems content about it.
* x x The truth is that the world per-

some of Jul own people, that the United

of election or choice, but by growth. de-
velopment and an extension of her do

the rivalries and at the same time shall
claim our share of the privileges that
pertain to the dominant powers in ad-
ministering the affairs of the Orient.
Senator Davis of Minnesota said in an
address on the same day:

will ever vote into power will %evacuate

historians as the best and wisest achieve
ment of the greatest administration since
that of Abraham Lincoln.
The statement of the First National
Bank of Bismarck at the close of bust
ness February 13, shows the fattering
condition of that institutions and reflects
credit on its management. The half
million mark has been passed and the
line of deposits, close to 100000, is the
largest in the banks history WITH the ex-
ception of one statement made at the
height of the great boom in 1883 when
a great deal of outside capital vas
in the vaults for investment,
The First National is rapidly fosg
ing to the front and is destinL
ed to soon rival the leading bank in Fargo
as it already distances all other cities.
And this serves to remind US of the ra-
pid increase IN the wealth of the western
part of the state. The five banks Oh the
Missouri slope and at Dickinson contain
one-ifth of the entire deposits Of the
state.

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 100000; John E.
Searles, lately treasurer Of the sugar
trust, grand mOguU, it must be that he
IS 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 a vicious trust which
deserves to be destroyed, any more than
number of other corporations Of ST.
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 $1,000, 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
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,
. 900 of the stock of the company has he
got. how did he get it. and what did he
The Colfax gazette. [volume] (Colfax, Wash.) 1893-1932, 1900-10-12

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 cash 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.
nuential 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, a very important
service at 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 &C.
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 70 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 and
invites attack from any quarter. Mr..
Jones has no business to live in glass
house with perfect safety if he is going

Total. S72S, s21, 1852

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 ningley protective tariff they amount
to S72S, S21 1852. Look also at the narrow
column, which indicates the percentages
Of the total imports which these raw ma
terials form, and you win 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 a 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 manufacture
ing lines

MANUFACTURERS HAVE

The Demand for Raw Material Is So
Great that Imports of ManufaCtur.

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-

MORE GERMAN RESTRICTION,
Curtalment Of the Treaty Rights Be-
longing TO Our Consuls,

NEW YORK. Mar, S,-A special to
the Herald from Washington says
Restrictions imposed by the governor
OF Dusseldorf, Germany, upon Amcri-
can consuls to prevent them from get
ting information Of commercial char
acter. may be objected to by this gov
ernment In case an official dispatch re-
garding them should be received by the
state department.
Reports of this character have been
current In this country for several
months. but an ofiicial Of the state de-
partment said that no official informa-
tion had as yet reached the state de-
partment. II the facts are as stated in
the press reports, then he said, the de-
parment would require Germany TO
live UP TO the provisions OF the treaty
OF 1871 respecting consular officers.
Article two of this convention pro-
vides that the respective consuis-geu-
eral. consals. vice consuls or con-
sular agents. as well as their chancel-
lols and secretaries, shall enjoy in the
two countries oil privileges, exceptions
and immunities which have been
granted or may in future be granted
to the agents of the same rank of the
most favored nations.
II 1t should he ascertained that con-
suls of other nations accredited to Ger
many are getting the information de-
sired by the consular representatives
OF the United States. then the claim
may be advanced that the latter are
not allowed the privileges accorded to
other consuls." In the treaty OF lS2S
with Prussia, the two contracting par
ties grant each other the liberty OF
consular representationandthe consuls
shall enjoy the same privileges and
powers as those of the most favored ma
ton" Other states of the German con-
federation have treaties with the
United States containing provisions OF
like character. No complaint can
be made to the German government at
the action of the authorizes in refusing
| information. but II as stated. the re-
fusal shall be especially directedagainst
the United States then complaint
can and will he made. The authori-
ties are not inclined to the belief that
the restrictions imposed by the gov
ernor of Dusseldorf were prompted by
the Berlin government, but were rath-
or the act of an official who desired to
make political capital with the Agra
rian party
