Senior Member Of the Firm OF Rand
Mentally Company Comes to Look
Into Sites for Big Plant
TALKS IN FAVOR OF PROJECT
President of Big Concern Seems to Look
with Favor ON the Claims of Kenosha
NO Definite Statements Made

A. McNally of Chicago, senior mem
Der of the firm of Rand, McNally COM
pany, accompanied by George M.
Sholl of Chicago, came to Kenosha
this morning to look over the city as
possible location for the big plant to
be established by the company in the
near future. Mr.. McNally made no
statements of a positive nature but he
minated that he was greatly pleased
with the showing made by Kenosha as
many. sites in the city and gave the
men entertaining him great deal of
encouragement. Mr.. Mentally came
to Kenosha on morning train and
was met at the station by committee
consisting of Mayor Pfennig, E. r.
Head and J. M Kehlor. The party
got into carriage and without vast
ing any time the carriage was driven
to the industrial centers of the city,
and Mr.. McNally. was given chance
to see what was being done by other
plants in the city. He was also shown
number of sites which would be Of
fered to the company if it decided to
locate IL Kenosha.
In speaking of the plans of the big
publishing company Mr.. Mentally said
pany was to build a factory building
which would cover more than five
acres of land. The building will be
but one story in height but it will be a
model publishing plant. The company
plan to move at least a portion of their
business out of Chicago during the
coming year and it is highly necessary
that the site selected for the new plant
be of easy access to the city where the
central Offices are located. These Of
fees being in Chicago the chances of
Kenosha are considered very bright.
Mr.. McNally gave the committee to
understand that thus far the company
had made no selection of site for the
big plant and all statements of other
cities seem to be absurd. It was
claimed for time that the company
had definitely decided to locate at Wau-
kegan but this report was denied.
In talking of the matter to Mayor
Pfennig Mr.. McNally stated that the
removal Of the plant would bring
about two hundred families and some
effor must be made to find homes for
these families. This is the greatest
drawback for Kenosha but it is said
that if the factory locates in this city
several well known real estate men
will agree to secure houses for the use
of the laborers
Mr. McNally is still continuing his
investigation this afternoon and when
he returns to Chicago he will be we'll
appraised of all the advantages of the
city as manufacturing center.

CHAMBERLAIN OPENS
Birmingham Statesman Makes
His First Speech in His Pro-
lection Campaign.
He GOES AHEAD OF THE ARMY
AS a Pioneer but Not as Party Lead
er-Gives His Reasons for Adj
vocating Change Of
British Policy.

Glasgow, Scotland, Oct. 7.-St. An
drews hall was packed to its full ca
pacity, 5000, when Joseph Chamber
lain rose to deliver the first speech Of
his fiscal campaign. His appearance
cau~ed a tremendous outburst of en-
thusiasm, the ovation lasting for sew
nencing his speech, said that his first
duty was to thank the great repre-
sentative audience for Offering him the
opportunity of explaining for the first
time in some detail his views On the
subject of the fiscal policy in the city
from which free trade first took birtA,
and in which Adam Smith taught.
Lessons from Adam Smith.
He paid a tribute to Adam Smith, to
Whom, however, he said it was rot
given to foresee all the changes which
had occurred during the last century
and half. Adam Smith, neyerthe-
less, was aware Of the Importance Of
home markets compared to foreign
ones, and Chamberlain had been inn
pressed by the manner in which he
advocated retaliation under certain con-
ditions, and how he urged reciprocal
trade between the colonies and the
mother country.
Tribute to Premier Balfour.
He said this was not party meeting
nor himself a party leader, but he was
still loyal to the party whose union
and strength is essential to the well
fare Of the empire. He continued: 1T
seems as though in this country there
have always been men N.io do not
know the meaning of loyalty and
fIieEdehip. To them / say that moth
ing they may do will have the slight
est influence to affect in the slightest
degree the friendship and confidence
existing between the premier and my
self. TO my friends and supporters il
the great struggle on which | have en-
tered | say give no encourag cement to
mean or libellous insinuations, for in
no conceivable circumstances will
allow myself to be in any sort of COM
petition, direct or indirect, with my
friend and leader.

WORST OF THE YEAR.

Storm Comes Beating Down From the
South and West Does Much Damage.
One of the worst wind and rain
storms ever known in this section of
the State struck Kenosha shortly after
one o'clock this morning, and left a
desolate picture when ii had passed
over three hours later. The rain,
driven by the wind, fell IN torrents
and considerable damage was done by
the filing UP of the sewers in different
parts of the city. The low portions of
the city were completely deluged by
the downpour, and it will be several
days before many of the roads in the
county are passahle.
The telegraph and telephone services
were interfered with, and even the
railways suffered from the strength of
the storm. The storm was so violent
that in some parts of the county the
growing crops were beaten down. The
damage done, however, will be light as
most of the crops had already been
harvested.
) The storm did not extend to the lake
but the warning that had been sent
out by the weather bureau was suffi-
cient to keep the boats inside the pro-
tecting piers of the harbor.

HE SEES SIGNS OF DECAY
foundations of the British Empire Not
Broad and Deep Enough.


He said he had taken the position
OF pioneer and gone in front Of the
army, but if the army was attacked
he would return to it. He desired
to see the realization Of a great EN-
pire such as the world had never seen,
but Il see signs Of decay, cracks and
crevices showing that the foundations
are not broad and deep enough to sus-
tain it. Am wrong to warn you? Is
it not strange and inconsistent that the
same people who indicted the govern
ment for its unpreparedness in the
South African war should now de-
nounce me in language equally ex-
trayagant because [ want to prepare
you for struggle SO serious that if
we are defeated the country will lose
its place among the great nations?"
He then adduced statistics showing
the slow increase in British exports
and continued: 'On the other hand
the protected countries which you have
been told and | myself one time be-
lieved were going rapidly to wreck and
ruin have progressed indefinitely bet
ter in proportion than ourselves and
instead of, as Golden believed. our re-
naming the workshop for the world we
are sending less and less of our manu-
features abroad, whilst the protected
| countries are sending more and more
of their manufactures here.
This loss of trade to the protected
| countries has not been noticed hitherto
because during the same period our
| exports to the British colonies have in
creased in ratio TO counterbalance
this loss, and are now more valuable
| than our trade with the whole of Eu-
rope and the United States together.
Our colonial trade, in fact, is the most
rapidly increasing, important and val
liable of all our trade" He said that
British exports of manufactures had
decreased nearly one-half, while her
imports of the same had increased to
more than double annually since 1872.
| Then he added: II do not COM
ment on that, but when I am told
that we ought to hold the same opin-
ions as our ancestors reply that we
should il the circumstances remained
the same"

CLOSER, OR FARTHER APART
The Colonies Must Come, He says-His
Scheme in Detail.

The Colonies Must Come, He says-His
Scheme in Detail.
Chamberlain said he believed that
the colonies ''are prepared to meet us
In return for very moderate prefer
ance.' The colonial trade thus Sc
cured, said the speaker, would be suf-
flcient to afford employment to 615,-
GOO Workmen at 80 shillings per week,
and calculating their families to give
subsistence to 3,O75,oo0 persons. That
had been called a squalid argument;
therefore he appealed on the higher
ground that the privileges of empire
brought with them great Responsible
ties. He had spoken with many col
onists who believed that the present
colonial relations could not be per-
manent They must either be drawn
closer together or they would drift
apart
With regard to his plan he would
state it briefly. He proposed to put a
low duty, not exceeding 2 shillings
as cents quarter on foreign corn,
but none on corn from the British
possessions. He proposed no tax en-
maize, partly because it formed the
food of some of the very poorest among
the populations and partly because it
was raw material as feeding stuff. He
proposed a corresponding tax on flour,
and he would give special preference
to the miller, with the object of re-
establishing one Of our ancient indus
tries and of preventing rush frcm
the country to the town and also of
placing corn, offal and feeding stuffs
more cheaply within the possession O.
the farmer.
Aesmall tax Of about 5 per cent. On
foreign meat and dairy produce would
be imposed, excluding bacon, which
was the food Of 70 many Of the rcor-
est population. Lastly &c proposed to
give a substantial IrofestEca to tie
colonies On wines and fle::ees.

chexuer-TIis Conclusion.
Against theGe increases he proposed
some great remissions. He proposed
to take OH three-quarters Of the duty
on tea, half the duty on sugar, with
corresponding reductions upon cocoa
and coffee. The net result of these
impositions and renissions would be
that the artisans food would, accord
ing to the most elaborate calculations,
cost him 2 pence half penny g cents)
less per week than it did at present,
while that Of the agricultural laborer
would cost him ? pence a cents less.
The loss to the exchequer he esti-
mated 100000 pounds, but that and
more he proposed to find in another
branch Of the policy Of fiscal reform,
which was sometimes called retaliation
and sometimes reciprocity. A moder
ate duty of 10 per cent ON manufac-
tured goods, varying according to the
amount of labor in them, would give
TO the eXcnequer i9,OUO,OUU year,
and if he We're chancellor of the ex-
cheQuer he would make use of that
sum for the remission Of taxation.
Chamberlain concluded: 1T is be-
cause I sympathize with their 1.-THE
colonies'] object and appreciate the
generosity of theirsoffer, it is for these
things and for no personal ambition
that have given up the Office was
so proud to hold, and that now when
might, ! think fairly claim period
of rest, have taken up new burdens
and come before you as a missionary
of the empire to urge upon you again.

against disruption of the United
Kingdom; once again to warm you, to
urge you, to implore you, to do moth
ing that will tend towards the dis
indignation of the empire, not to refuse

prejudice and thereby to lose the re-
suit Of centuries of noble effort and
patriotic endeayOr.'
