Mckinley AND RECIPROCITY.

There has been some discussion as
to just what position President Nc
Kinley had taken upon the question
of reciprocity. There ought to be no
doubt in the matter. On the day be-
fore he was shot at Buffalo he de-
livered an address which was evil
IDENTIFY carefully prepared with the
intention of reaching not only our
own people, but leading men of
other nations who were in attend
ance at that great exposition. We
quote below his statements upon
the subject of prosperity:
"Only broad and enlightened pol
icy will keep what we have. No
other policy will get more. In these
times of marvellous business energy
and gain we ought to be looking to
the future. strengthening the weak
places in our industrial and CONNER
cial systems, so that we may be
ready for any storm or strain.
by sensible trade arrangements
which will not interrupt our home
production we shall extend the out
let's for our increasing surplus. A
system which provides a mutual ex-
change of commodities is manifestly
essential to the continued healthful
growth of our export trade. We
must not repose in fancied security
that we can forever sell everything
and buy little OF nothing. If such
a thing were possible it would not
be best for us or for those with
whom we deal. We should take from
our customers such of their products
as we use without harm to our in
dustries and labor.
Reciprocity is the natural out
growth of our wonderful industrial
development under the domestic pol
icy now firmly established. What
we produce beyond our domestic
consumption must have a vent
abroad. The excess must be relieved
through a foreign outlet and we
should sell everything we can and
buy wherever the buying viii en-
large our sales and productions, and
thereby make a greater demand for
home labor.

There is nothing political In the re-
view of trade made by r. G. Dun, but
no better argument is made for the
republican party than these weekly
reviews. In every one of them there
is something like this, which was the
review of trade and industrial condi-
tions for last week: STEADY prog
ress is reported in trade and indus
try. Distribution Of merchandise Is
heavy and healthy tone is evident.
Prices are well maintained by liberal
consumption, which more than neu-
tralzes the effect of enlarged facili-
ties for production. Domestic con-
ditions continue much better than
those existing abroad, and home
trade receives more attention than
foreign commerce. Farm products
have appreciated in value owing to
less favorable weather, and pro-
ducers will be fully compensated for
any decrease in quantity by the high
er quotations."

"The period of exclusiveness is
past. The expansion of our trade
and commerce is the pressing prob
lem. Commercial wars are reprisals'
Reciprocity treaties are in harmony
with the spirit of the times; meas
ures of retaliation are not. II per-
chance some of our tariffs are no
longer needed for revenue or to en-
courage and protect our industries
at home, why should they not be EN-
ployed to extend and promote. our
markets abroad?

There seems to be lack of infor-
nation upon the subject of the pro-
duction of beet sugar in this state
and in the country at large. The
record shows that for last year the
entire production of beet sugar in
the United States was 124,s59 tons,
while the total consumption of sugar
in the United States during that year
was 2,372, 316 tons, so that the total
production of beet sugar would only
furnish supply for 20 days. There
are 81 beet sugar factories in the
United States. distributed as follows:
California, s; Colorado, 8; Illinois,
1; Michigan, 10; Minnesota, 1; Ne
braska, 8; New Mexico, 1; New York,

Candidate Craddock: "Elect me

roads pay more taxes and reduce
your taxes one-half."
Candidate Bailey: 81 do not stand
before you to-day as a defender of
railroads, but 1 believe in equal JUS
tice to all men, and that all proper
ty, no matter what class or kind,
shall bear its equal and just proper
ton of the burden Of taxation. Any
man who goes before the people
advocating that one class of proper
ty shall be taxed higher than another
class, and thereby appeals to the
prejudices of men, will not be sus-
tanned by the conscience or judgment
Of the people of this great state."-

The contrast between the demo-
cratic and republican administra-
tons in financial and business mat
tiers ought to be the strongest argu-
ment in favor of voting for the re-
publican ticket. Under the Cleveland
ADMINISTRATION is was necessary to
sell millions of dollars worth of
bonds to pay running expenses. I'm
der the republican administration
bonds were purchased at premium
before they were due in order TO
take up the surplus.

SOME SAD SCENES.
Portion of Galleries Refuse TO Take
Back Old Men.

Scranton, Oct. PA hears-rendlng
scene was enacted here when $50
strikers formerly employed at the
Peoples Coal Company colliery,
marched back and applied for work,
pursuant to an order from President
Mitchell. When they arrived they
found the gates locked.
Manager Crawford of the colliery
saws he wants no union men. Some OF
the miners dinner pals were filled
with the last morsels of food from their
scanty larders. Many were accom-
panied by their wives, and some by
their little children, barefooted but
gleeful from the fact that money from
labor would again come into their
homes. The poor fellows, when they
received the order, returned to their
homes without violence, but no keener
disappointment was ever witnessed.
At most OF the collieries, however,
there was a general resumption OF
work. The regular output is expected
to be reached within week or two.
Wilkesbarre, Oct. 23.-Reports from
the coal fields state that 115, 900 men
reported for work. A large percentage
of them were Immediately employed
In few cases hard-hearted managers
refused to employ union men. Their
bitterness characterized the men, who
have all through the strike been
violently opposed to the strikers
Some mines, not yet in condition, took
only such men as they could use. 1t IL
apparent that there are more places
than men. Those who left the fields
during the strike are returning in large
numbers, and within week several
thousands more are expected to report
The only men who are not sure of work
are the engineers and firemen; but
these are offered other employment till
vacancies occur. The outlook now il
that within two weeks the conditions
will adjust themselves and there viii
be no idle men.

THE BICYCLE FAD.
Some Regrets Over the Fact that It
Has Vanished.

Some Regrets Over the Fact that II
Has Vanished.
The reorganization of the bicycle
trust upon a conservative basis Is de-
clared by financial writer to mark the
evolution Of the bicycle business from
the fad state into seady, legitimate
enterprise. That is measurably true
more's the pity.
When the bicycling fad was at its
height hundreds Of thousands Of peo-
pie took healthful and agreeable exer-
else daily. Whe.. the fad waned these
people ceased to take exercise. N9wa-
days the bicycle, with few exceptions,
Is used In a business way. People ride
1t to and from their work to save car
fare. Bill collectors use 1t In their bust
ness. So do book agents and solicitors.
Children are now about the only people
who ride for the mere pleasure Of rid
ing. That is to be regretted.
Never has there been another form Of
exercise which was available to so
many people. The bicycle required no
athletic training. A child or an octo-
genarian could ride. Women found the
wheel easy to learn and easy to ride.
Bicycling, like golf, brought people
into the open air, but, unlike golf, 1t re-
quired no especial tract of ground for
it's exercise. Any fairly good road was
the sole requisite. The whole continent
lay open to the adventurous cycler. The
wheelmen and wheelwOmen of 1S95-9S
the period OF the greatest bicycle
boom-saw more of the country In the
vicinity Of their homes than they ever
saw before or will ever see again. The
bicycle was a typographical educator.
The bicycle, in short, fulfilled two Of
the three traditional desiderata. 1t
made people healthy and it made them
WISE 1t made some people wealthy,
too. (These, however, were the people
who manufactured bicycles, rather
than those who rode them.) 1t was
fad which conduced to the happiness
and physical well-being of the popula-
ton, and Its Disappearance Is occasion
for regret There Is nothing In sight to
take Its place.

RUSHING COAL TRAINS,
Anthracite Roads Hurrying to Sup
ply Market.

New York, Oct. 27.-With tracks
comparatively free from passenger
traffic, all the anthracite roads rushed
trains eastward on Sunday to fill the
gap in the coal marts caused by the
great strike. More than 10000 tons
reached the receiving yards and piers
in Jersey City and its neighborhood.
The coal will be divided into small lots
and put on the retail market with the
understanding that consumers shall not
be required to pay more than $3.50 for
a ton of it in any instance.
Some dealers even went so far as to
promise that they would sell it to the
poor at the rate of 10 cents a bucket,
which really would be $500 ton.
Many dealers who still have coal bought
at high prices during the strike will
still charge $3.50 a ton more than the
dealers who are handling the late
supply.

DEAD IN A DITCH.
Constable j. N. White, of Dunsmuir
Probably Murdered.

Ashland, Or, Oct. 27.-There is con-
siderable excitement in Northern Cali
tornia over the discovery of the re-
mains of Constable j. N. White, OF

murdered by hoboes. Scherer, pro-
prietor of the electric light company,
found the body of White, who was IS
years old, lying in the ditch thatssserves

ate gangs of hoboes, who have been in

Age at New York.

New York, Oct. 27.-Elizabeth Cady
Stanton, the well-known woman suf-
fragist, died at her home in West Nine

OFFERED BIG BRIBE.
Charles w. Clark Makes a Sensa
tiOnal Statement.

Butte, Mont, Oct. 23.-One of the
greatest sensations sprung within the
political arena of the state, in which a
number of millionaires are struggling
for supremacy, was the statement Of
Charles W. Clark, son of W. A. Clark
millionaire mine owner, which appears
in the Miner this morning. Above his
own signature Clark declares he was
offered bride of $2,5OOO,OO to assist
Heinze in securing control Of the legis-
lature, to the end that two more ST.
preme court justices might be selected.

HAD A NICKEL HARVEST.
children of Dallas Scramble for a
Hop Growers Offering.

Dallas, Or, Oct.27.-In discharging a
promise made to friends years ago that
should the price of hops ever reach 20
cents a pound he would throw away
500, W. G. Brown, retired Dallas
merchant, now hop grower of this
place, scattered 1000 nickels on the
ground for children to scramble for.
MIR. Brown had grown hops for a
numoer of years and sold them for or
III or IL cents. In conversation with
some friends one day he asserted that
he did not believe that the price would
ever reach 20 cents again and offered,
should it do so, to throw away 500 in
coin. Last week he sold his hop crop
for 20 cents, and Immediately an
nounced that he was prepared to fulfill
his promise.
The nickel sowing affair came off,
great crowds of children in attendance.
The sowing was on the court house
square. The children were arranged in
groups according to size and age as
follows: Large boys, small boys, large
girls and small girls.
The formation was on the sidewalks,
and the nickels were sown on sward and
the different sections were separated by
ropes.
At a signal from Mr.. Brown men en-
employed for the purpose threw 500 in
nickels at once, this being the signal
for the scramble, which was fierce.
Several hundred children plunged in
the square, clad for the occasion. For
moment the scene was novel and in
tensely exciting. There seemed to be
an indescriminate mixture of bonnets,
hats boots, shoes and other childish ap-
parel. The affair passed without
serious accident, every precaution hav-
ing been taken beforehand and was a
great source of satisfaction to Mr..
Brown

FEARS OF CAR SHORTAGE.
Officials Say Indications Strongly
Point That Way,

New York, Oct. 27. - Railroad Of
ficials declare that the indications of a
serious car shortage throughout the
country are becoming more and more
pronoun ced, and the outlook is causing
no little apprehension, says the Journal
of Commerce. The movement of gen.
neral freight, both east and west bound,
is reported to be unusually heavy.
Under normal conditions the principal
lines would find their facilities heavily
taxed. The termination of the coal
strike, however, and the resumption OF
mining has resulted in an abnormal
demand for cars of all kinds suitable to
carry coal by the anthracite roads,
and the heavy coal shipments are OK
pected to severely tax the hauling
mower of these lines.

BEGINS ITS WORK
COAL ARBITRATION COMMISSION
HAS A HEARING.
Mitchell and Baer Briefly State
Their Respective Sides of the
QuestiOu---the Latter Directing
to Mitchell as a Representative
of the United Mine Workers.

Washington, ID. c., Oct. 27.-The
arbitration commission met at 2
O'Clock in the rooms of the interstate
commerce commission. The coal oper-
ators and President Mitchell, accom-
panied by District President Fahey,
arrived about the same time, and the
opposing representatives seated them
selves on opposite sides of the same
table. Shortly afterward Assistant Re-
corder Mosely appeared and announced
simply:
Gentlemen, the Commission.
= The operators and Mitchell and Fahey
arose and stood while the members of
the commission entered the room.
After calling the commission to order
Judge Gray, the president, briefly ex-
planned the situation, and said that he
would prefer to regard the case as SINH
lar to lawsuit. the miners being the
plaintiffs and the operators the defend
ants, and as both were present he
would like to hear from each.
Mitchell said that as plaintiff he
would be ready to present his testimony
next Monday. Judge Gray interrupted
and said; "All we want now is logi-
cal statement from each side and an
answer by the other, eliminating all ir-
relevant argument"
| President Mitchell then made a state
ment of a few hundred words in length,
setting forth the claims of the United
Mine Workers. He was followed by
President Baer of the Reading.
Baer began by Directing to the
presence of Mitchell at the conference
as president of the United Mine Work
ers before the commission. Baer said
that he would in no wise deal with that
organization, but that he had no objec-
tons to Mitchells presence as a repre-
sentative of the miners of the anthra-
cite region. Baer announced that he
would urge as solution of the labor
problem an adoption of the readjust-
ment of the sliding scale, which he
called profit-sharing system that gave
practical peace in the mining regions
| for many years.
