While Jane Adams Insists They De-

by n Muncie Man.

MINNEAPOLIS. Sept. A-The feature OF
the morning session of the national conven-
ton OF employers and employees was a Lively
tilt between A. b. stickney, president of
the Chicago Great Western Railroad, and
Miss Jane Adams. of Chicago. Mr. stickney
read paper on THE Rewards of Indus
try" in which he asserted, among other
things. that the chief object of labor unions
was to secure higher wages Miss Adams
took issue with this. and said their princi-
pal object was TO get. shorter work day.
Mr.. Stickney said too many men had been
attracted 10 the anthracite fields by the
high wages. and that caused the present
trouble. Miss Adams declared that the OPP
orators were responsible for overstocking
the labor market. They had imported labor
and were responsible for present conditions.
The debate was lively and evoked much
interest Miss Addamss subject was The
Social Waste of Child Labor" but she
made her reply TO Mr.. Stickney before be-
ginning her paper. The last speaker was
Florence Kelley secretary OF the National
Consumers League. New York. who spoke
At the afternoon session the principal
topic of discussion was THE GovernmEnt
as an Employer" by L. j. Gamer, OF Mum
Gle. Ind, secretary of the executive board
of the National Association OF Letter Car

best employer and the worst employer He

they are consigned to a perpetual dead
level OF mediocrity.

dress, and was listened TO with great in
terest. In speaking OF the anthracite coal
strike. Mr.. Powderly made a statement
which he thought might offend some but
which he considered the truth neverthe-
less. Ii was the fact that few people think
of the laboring man until he strikes and
they are in danger OF being affected by the
results OF the strike. IL Is only when we

BOIES FOR FREE TRADE
WOULD DESTROY ALL INDUSTRIES
TO SPITE A FEW TRUSTS.
Democrat Who Would Succeed Speak
err Henderson I'm the House
Letter OF Acceptance.

WATERLOO, Ia, Sept. 2f.-Former Gov
ernor Horace Boies to-day made public his
letter accepting the Democratic nomination
for Congress in the Third Iowa district,
now represented by Speaker Henderson.
The letter is devoted entirely to the trusts
and the tariff, and the only adequate rem
edy for the evil with which trusts are
charged is declared TO be the removal of
the tariff on trust-made products. He de-
clares the trust question TO be the most
important that now agitates the public
mind. The letter says in part:
1.-The teachings of Democrats logically
lead them to believe that our protective
tariff system has made the organization of
these trusts possible, and so long as il is
a defensive breastwork behind which they
can find shelter from every shaft that
could reach a vital part
The futility of legislation other than
tariff reduction in restraint of such action
0he alleged methods Of trusts is to them
demonstrated by the fact that the great
bulk of our trusts have been openly organ
lied in the face OF antitrust laws carefully
of the Nation in many Of the States
Mr.. Boies continues: THE Democratic
doctrine is that a tax on consumers can be
rightfully laid for one purpose only. and
that 10 raise needed revenue for the use
of the government. This doctrine must be
interpreted in the light of conditions as
they exist when IL is applied"
Then speaking of the position of the
Democrats he says: 1T is the heart of the
trust they would reach To do this they
know the wall that shelters 1t must be
battered down at the place where IL is con-
cealed. IL this should reduce our tariff sys-
tenn below a revenue basis they would help
10 build IL up higher whenever or wherever
trust Is not sheltered behind IT, This is
the present day doctrine of a tariff for
revenue only as / understand IL and as I
snail interpret IL IL go TO Congress"

George r. Sheldon had been selected for
the lieutenant governorship. but opposi-
ton to him, led by Lieutenant Governor

action was not taken, however, until after
a long conference which participated
in by Governor Odell, Senator Platt and
other party leaders Mr.. Sheldon's with
drawal was addressed to Senator Plat. 1t
read:
MY Dear Sir-I became a candidate for
lieutenant governor on the Republican
state ticket at the request OF the leaders
of the party. 1t was with great reluctance
that / consented to leave my private af-
fairs for public office and the position which

ranks but since my candidacy was an
nounced here there have been attacks made
upon my business, which, while admitting
Ii to be honorable. claim that it can be
misrepresented and an injury to the ticket.
/ entered this canvass unselfshly, in the
belief that might be of benefit to a party
of which / have been always an ardent
supporter and to lifelong friends, but / am
unwilling to remain for an hour in the field

LAGRANGE, Ind, Sept, A.-The con-
gressional fight is becoming interesting in
this district and Representative Robinson
and his supporters are evincing consider
able anxiety over the result. Mr.. Gil
hams clean record makes him invulnerable
on that score, and the Democrats are re-
duced to the extremity of pointing to the
fact that the auditors fees for swearing
persons to their statements for mortgage
exemption from taxation have not been
placed in the county funds. These fees,
about which there has been much discus
sion as TO whether they belonged to the
State, the county or to the auditor, awaited
the order of the County Commissioners as
to their disposition. and they decided at the
September term, before any mention of the
matter had been made by the local Demo-
cratic organ, that the fees belonged to the
county, and they are disposed OF according
w. The transaction of withholding these
fees was open to all, and the commission
ers and auditor were waiting for further
light on the matter before giving 1t final
consideration.
