LONDON, Sept. PINOT often does

this is what was offered for each OF

or Azeel fowls, have been the very
apex OF the game breed. for the pure

PARKER DISCUSSES ISSUES.
A Large Part Of His Letter Il Devoted to
the Tariff Question.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-The letter OF
acceptance Of Alton B. Parker was
given out to the public tonight. It dis.
cusses the political issues presented
IN the democratic national platform,
and upon the subject Of the tariff says
in part:
Tariff reform is one Of the cardinal
principles Of the democratic faith and
the necessity for It was never greater
that At the present time. It should be
undertaken at once in the interest Of
all the people. The Dingley tariff 10
excessive IN many OF ito rates, and ~
TO them at least, unjustly and oppres.
sively burdens the people. Il secures
to domestic manufacturers, singly or
in combination, the privilege Of ex.
acting excessive prices At home aud
prices far above the level OF sales
made regularly by them abroad with
profit, thus giving bounty to foreign.
ers at the expense of our own people.
Its unjust taxation burdens the people
generally, forcing them to pay exces-
sive prices for food, fuel, clothing
and other necessaries Of life.
It levies duties on many articles
not normally imported in any consid-
cradle amount, which are made ex.
tensively at home, for which the most
extreme protectionist would hardly
justify protective taxes, and which in
large amounts are exported. Such
duties have been and will continue to
be direct incentive to the formation
OF huge combination which are
enabled to sttde domestic competition
aud practically to monopolize the
home market.
II contains many duties imposed for
the express purpose only, as was open
ly avowed, Of furnishing basis for
reduction by means Of reciprocal trade
treaties, which the republican admin.
istration implied at least, promised to
negotiate. Having, on this promise,
spurred on by protccted d interests, de.
feated the treaties negotia ated by the
executive and now these duties which
the people never Intended they should
have, and to which they have no
moral right.
II Is true that the republicans, who
d. not admit ia their platform that
the Djcgley tariff needs the slightest
alteration, are likely to retain ma.
jori,y uf the federal senate through.
out the next presidential term and
could. therefore, ii they choose, block
every attempt at legislative relief.
Bu, it should be remembered that the
republican party includes many revis-
ionists and believe 1t will shrink
from defying the popular will ex.
pressed unmistakably and peremp-
tOralIy at the ballot box.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 24.-Ab.
sence Of detailed reports from the seat

ter of events tina. are believed to be

the supposition that General Kuropat.

ton on large scale.
General sakharotf reports that the
Japanese armies are moving toward
Flu pass, a village six miles northeast
Of Mukden, and near the right BANK of
the Hun river. The river at this point
is shallow and probably for this rea-
son, the locality has been selected by
the Japanese for crossing. If the Jap.
anese gain a foothold at Flu pass,
General Kuropatkin's position will be
insecure, as the Japanese will then be
able to threaten the Russian line of
communication.

II makes q volume Of 3l4 pages, dis
cusses the Issues Of the two parties
and reprints . number OF speeches Of

"Concerning the trusts, much space

er prices for manufactured goods than

OF hardware, agricultural implements,

densed milk, canned goods and every
kind of steel products are sold to our
consumers at prices averaging about
Is per cent more than those paid by
foreigners for the same goods. Quot.
Ing President Schwab's statement to
the industrial commission that goods
were always sold cheaper for export,
the evidence before the Chamberlain
tariff commission in England and
numerous statements from export
journals, trade journals and CONNER
cial papers, the conclusion is drawn
that nearly all our exports Of iron
and steel goods, amounting to S111,.
0,000 last year, are sold to foreign
ers at an average Of shout four-fifths
the price charged to Americans.
Zone Of the most instructing and
interesting chapters under tariffs and

EXPEDITION
CONTINUED from Page ~

There, at sudden turn, the vale
below lay far outspread, all flushed in
purple light. Red rocks and timbered
woods gave back the glow of changing
hues, fast fading into night
The short bends, overhanging bluffs,
and shallow channel of a swift flow
ing river, combined to render it i'm
possible to continue farther with the
steamboat. The head of ascension
was twenty-five miles above Prior
Creek; and the place was marked by
signs on trees along the shore, indi
eating the boat and command, with
the date of their return down the Vel
lowstone.
The highest point reached by the
expedition, is only seventy miles from
Bozeman, town in the Gallatin valley;
surrounded by its rich silver mines.
On the afternoon Of the 9TH of June
1875, the forces of the expedition turn
ed their faces homeward, down the
swift flowing waters, on the rising
tide of the Yellowstone, reaching the
Missouri and Fort Buford in due
time. The visible steps taken by the
military authorities to make the Vel
lowstone valley inhabitable, was the
selection of two sites for forts, which
were subsequently established at the
mouths of the Big Horn and Powder
rivers. Charles Reynolds, a noted
trapper and frontier scout, was chief
guide and hunter on the Yellowstone
expedition. He had participated in
two previous expeditions to the Vel
lowstone country. The first one set
out from old Fort Rice in 1872, for the
protection of the Northern Pacific
railroad surveyors, while running
their lines along the Yellowstone val
ley. And while out On that expedition
he was detailed by General Stanley to
accompany two English noblemen
through the Yellowstone park to
Bozeman, Montana, which he lid in
satisfactory manner.
During the following year, 1873, he
also marched with General Clusters
expedition to the Yellowstone, as a
guide and hunter, and he discovered
the dead bodies of Dr. Holzenger aud
Sutler Balran of the 18th U. S. Cavalry;
who were killed by Indians while they
were separated from the command
searching for the fossil remains of ex.
tinct animals.
Upon their return to the Missouri
river, Reynolds was instructed to at.
tend the Indian war-dances, on a spy
ing trip; and watch the movements of
Sioux spies from the hostile camps on
the Big Horn and Yellowstone rivers.
While acting in that capacity, some
friendly halfibreeds informed him of
the coming in of "Rain-in-the-Face,"
a hostile Sioux warrior, who boosted
of killing the two white men in
Clusters expedition. Captain Tom
Custer was sent out with squadron
of cavalry to arrest the Indians and
bring him to Fort Lincoln. There,
Rain-in-the-Face was confined in the
guard house until the following April,
when he escaped and Joined Sitting
Bulls camp of hostile Indians on the
Yellowstone
In 1876, Reynolds joined General
Clusters command in the expedition to
the upper tributaries OF the Yellow
stone; and was killed in the Custer
massacre on the Little Big Horn, June
rs, 1876.

Henry Clews weekly financial re

Henry CleWs weekly financial re-
view says: Concerning the crops,
August, as usual, is proving a month of
recession in most respects. Cotton
and wheat have noticeably declined
during August, and while this is not
likely to change the estimate of q
$4,000 ,0004bale cotton crop it has seri-
ous1y affected the wheat harvest;
though some conservative authorities
are still figuring on 575,000,00O bush
ell crop. Corn has thus far escaped
injury, and is in promising condition,
except that the crop is generally two
weeks late and is especially exposed to
injury from frost For corn the esti-
mate is still 2,5OO,0O0,O00 bushels.
What the effect would be upon the
stock market, and general business
also, of damaging frost to this import
ant crop no one can venture to predict.
Suffice it to say that large corn crop
is the mainstay of present hopefulness,
and failure to realize these expecta-
lions would certainly exert depress-
ing influence throughout the country.
Such a contingency may not happen;
but it is sufficiently near the range of
possibility to enforce caution in stock
market operations, at least until the
danger period is more nearly passed.
AS for the other important crops they
are all proving satisfactory, and the
outlook remains, as in previous ad'
vices, favorable to a profitable season
for farmers and planters in nearly all
sections of the country.
