TILE WELFARE OF THE WEST , Secretary Ilaino Writes a Letter in the In terest of that Section , OUR GREAT FLOUR TRADE WITH CUBA , lie DOCK Not Ilelicvo in Queuing Our MiirkcfH Tree to llint Inland Something M Given In Kctiirn , BOSTON , Mass. , Sept. 10. In response to an Invitation to the annual banquet of the Boot and Shoe club of Hasten Colonel Clapp.cditor of the Journal , has received a letter from Mr. Bialne , In which the secretary of state , refer ring to thnt portion of the Invitation saying the members of the cltib are in hearty sympathy with Ills views regarding the best method of extending trade , regrets that en gagements will not permit trim ta address the meeting. Tlio members of the club , ho says , can do great good by counteracting a certain phase of Xew Kngland opinion which ho re gards as hurtful to New EnglnnJ's ' interests. XewKnglaml is to receive In the new tariff the amplest protection for every manufactur ing Industry within her borders , anil It will he , In the Judgment of the secretary of state , both Inexpedient and Injurious for her repre sentatives to disregard a measure which will promote western interests. Mr. Blaine refers to a letter recently received from Imbs , pres ident of the late convention of millers at Min neapolis , referring to the excessive duties on American Hour in Cuba and stating that Americans will bo unable to retain any part of the Cuban Hour trade unless immediate relief is secured. "hi view of these facts , " say ) Mr. Bialne , "is It possible that a protcctional congress can even think of opening our markets to Cuba's products free while allowing a great western Industry to be absolutely excluded from her markets by a prohibitory tariff * "With reciprocity thu west can annually sell many hundred thou-and barrels of Hour in Cuba and Porto Hica , together with a lurge mass of other agricultural pro ducts. Without reciprocity she will be driven more and moro from these markets. Giving the fullest protection to nil eastern Interests' , as the proposed tariff bill docs , surely no man of good Judgment , cer tainly 110 protectionist of wise forecast wishes tocxposoa western interest to serious inJury - Jury , especially when it Is manifestly easy to protect and promote it-irmnlfestly easy be cause nt this very time boards of trade , chambers of commerce and public opinion in Havana are demanding reciprocal trade with the United States. * * * Certain wise men have ashed how can wo sell farm vrodncts In South America when the same things are produced there ! Cereals arc undoubtedly grown In the souther- most portions of Soutli America , but the wise men will remember that cereals and sugar do not grow in the same soil , and the sugar coun tries of South antl Central America and the "West Indies contain 'lO.OOO.OOti of people who import the largest part of ttietr brcadstufTs. Indeed , the largest portion of tbo sugar product of Latin-America is at out doors nnd wo can greatly enlarge our exchanges thcro If congress will pivo us an opportunity for reciprocal trade. Another class observe that they want time to study the system. To this 1 might reply ' ' of studying a systoni is to oftJii our mirKct.ttS ! > -iJatiii.Aiiicnci pro ducts free of all charge without asking Latin- America to give us lu return some fieedom in their markets. The object lesson immediately before us Is the treatment of the sugar question. Shall wo make Latin-America a ptft of that trade I When wo huve studied that lesson wo shall bo prepared for the sec ond. The worst proposition of all Is put forth bv tliose who say : 'Let us put sugar on tnoireo list now and next year take up the subject of reciprocity. ' 1 f I understand their logic it Is to innko sugar free this year with out condition and next year to nsk Spain if she will not kindly consent to grant us re ciprocal trade. Holding complete vantage ground themselves , the proposed policy transfers the vantage ground to Spain. Those who take this ground belong to that class of careful guardians of property who prepare the strong lock for the stable after the horse Is gone. I do not mean in anything' 1 have said to Imply that reciprocity is only a west ern interest. It will provobeiicllciul and profit able both to farm ami shop. Many forms in which our business interests will bo promoted by reciprocity cannot bo known until the active commercial men of the Uni'od States shall have developed those forms by investi gation and-experience. Wo shall not realize the full bcueilt of the policy la a day or year , hut shall"wo there fore throw away countless millions of tmdo in addition to JoO.000,000 wo have al ready thrown awav and then iguorantly de clare , without trial , that 'tho system won't workl" Finally thcro Is ouo fact that should have great weight , especially with protec tionists. Kvcry five trader in the senate voted against reciprocity. The free trade papers tli rough out the country are showing a determined hostility to it. It i evident that the free trade senators and free trade papers have a spit-Hie reason for their course. M'hcy know and feel that with a , sys- ( em of reciprocity established and growing thotr policy ol free ti-aao receives a most serious blow. The protectionists \vho op pose reciprocity in the form in which It is now presented knocks away ono of the strongest supports of thu svstem. Theenact- mont of reciprocity is the safeguard of pro ection. The defeat of reciprocity Is the opportunity of free trado.

A. platoon of engines from the "Q' ' shops advanced and kept up a perfect pandemonium at the palace for tea minutes , and the chorus was augmented by the hoarser throttled whistles of the numerous manufac tories.

Ilo congratulated Iowa on her palaces , which ho thought wcro of incalculable good to her pee ple.

The build ing has an auditorium with a seating capicity of 5)00 ( ) to 0,000. On olther side of this room are the spaces above nnd below for the ex hibits of the nine surrounding counties and from abroad. One of the "most unique fea tures of the palace is the "coalmine.

Into the miuo a shaft leads from the main tower 130 feet above , from which point the sight-seer gets into a cnr , } ust as In a regular mine , and Is lowered through a dark and foreboding shaft into the sunken park , whom the mules and miners , with their lamps and picks , and the coal in largo veins , can bo seen with realistic vividness. A waterfall , thirty feet high and fulling in a regular sheet twelve feet wide , is another fon'ture. It is located at the rear of the audi torium stage , and at the bottom dissolves into spray over electric llguta so iimmgeJ as to cause rainbows to chase each other with ex quisite effect.

After some modification tliis was uyreud to. Mr. Mnndcraon moved to add to the new section setting apart the Annette Is'ands ' , in tbo Alexander Archipelago , in south western Alaska , a reservation for the use of the Mctlalcahtla In dians , recently emigrated from British Columbia to Alaska unit such other Alaskan natives as may Join them , Agreed to. The substitute was then agreed to and the bill passed. The senate bill to establish a United States land court was laid aaldo until tomorrow and the senate adjourned. House. 'WASHINGTON , Sept. 10. In the house this morning the senate bill passed for the relief of Admiral S. P. Carter. The senate amendments were concurred in to the house bill authorizing the secretary of the Interior to submit a proposal for the sale of the western part of the Crow Indian reser vation in Montana. The house then proceeded to consideration of the Enloe resolution relative to Kennedy's speech. It directs the clerk to communicate to tno senate that the house repudiates and condemns Kennedy's language as unparlia mentary. The pending question was oa the point of order against the resolution raised by Mr. Grosvcnor of Ohio. Mr. Blount of Georgia , In arguing the point , recalled the Brooks-Sumner episode and cited the action of the house in that case. Whenever a member of this body arraigned a senator ns a felon and a traitor by reason of his conduct m regard to legislation thcro could bo no question but that the character of the house \vas assaulted. Ilo ( Blount ) was not here to vindicate the character of the senator from Penusylvnnla. Ho was not hero to Investigate whether or not the charge * tnado by the gentle man from Ohio wcro true , but the question of the character and dignity of the house was one with which its members had something to do and for which the people 'would hold them to a rigid responsibility. The chair overruled the point of order. Mr. Payne of Pennsylvania offered a reso lution referring Mr. Enloe's resolution together with Mr. Kennedy's speech to the committee on Judiciary , with instructions to report within threa days. Mr. Cannon of Illinois favored the refer ence of the resolution to the committee in order that the house might act intelligently. In ttio present form of the resolution the whole speech ( including the unobjectionable portions ) would bo expunged from the Kecord , I fit was adopted the speech would bo expunged , while the most oujectlonablo part cited by the gentleman from Tennessee ( Knloo ) would remain in It as part of the speech , Mr. Knloe suggested thnt the gentleman from Illinois was hardly the person to mabo reflections upon another person's unparlia. mentarv language. This led to a brief personal colloqy between Messrs , Cannon and Mc-Millin nnd Knloo , After further debate Mr. Knloo demanded the previous question upon his resolution , which was so modified as to bo an expression on the part of the house that it "disapproves and condemns" Kennedy' speech nnd a di rection to the public printer to cxpungo it from the permanent Congressional Heoord. The house refused y < us , b3 ; nays , 1U to order the previous question. Mr. Haynoof Pennsylvania again offered his resolution referring the whole matter to the Judiciary committee. The clause requiring the committee to re port within three days was stricken out and the resolution adontcd. Yeas. 121 : navs .IS.

The convention was harmonious in its proceedings nnd generally satisfactory In Iti results. Those who antici pated a red-hot light between Dodge county's two favorite sons were disappointed with the outcome , particularly the democrats. There were in the convention but twenty-four antl- Uorsey delegates. The antis hud , before the primaries , figured from newspaper reports that Dorsoy had a majority of the district out- sldn of Dodge county , and , quietly yielding to the expressed will of the district outside , remained invay from the primaries yesterday afternoon. Dorsoy's friends turned out and found no opposition.

IL Van Wyclc de livered the address ot the day at the I'ieroo county fair this afternoon. There was a large crowd in attendance. Among other things Mr. Van tt'yeksaid ; Your gathering is not only for pleasureami - social Intercourse , but also for improvement , to determine the bast treatment of the soil , to secure the greatest product , to improve * the stoctc by breeding and feeding , to save labor by machinery. Still the most important object , nnd which has the least of your attention , is the return In money for all your toll of hands and anx iety of mind. Hero you encounter a dark and unknown land , which the lowly railroad manager , the polished option gambler , the tlnancial slight-of-liand expert and tbo smooth-tongued operator bids you not to enter. This they claim as their domain. They meet you at the border , graciously take your crrain , hogs and cattle , pav what suits their pleasure or greed , always but little be- yonil actual cost , of production , while they become millionaires. Kvcry year your con dition bccomei less projpsrous. You evi dently arc not of those ivho Dellovo borrow ing money at S per cent u month and placing mortgages on farms Is evidence of thrift and enterprise. It may not bo very consoling that you ara in part the cause of the present depression , by neglecting tbo discharge of your political duties. Ttio only benctit Jromthls reflection is to impel you to do something and at once. Elect a legislature which will make an hon est and effective usury law , ouo that will for feit principal ns well as interest and make Its violation a criminal offense. Let ttio peniten tiary "gates ajar" for those who commit tha crime of robbing their fellowmcn by usurious Interest. Then wring the water out of stocks and bonds of the rairoads running through this state , control them by fixing rates that ! willinsuro a fair dividend on the actual cost. These things ran bo accomplished by the next ! legislature and will give present relief. Increase of money , either silver or legal tenders , to the necessities of business , may not bo so readily obtained , but coinmcuccnow by electing representatives to congress who can secure a circulating medium unless they are nt tbo same time tailing greater concern to secure millions to the silver owners without the coat of a dollar to them-in fact , legislating an in crease in the price of that metal. The de mands of the people for more currency wcra of little arnll except us pressed by the exer tion of the silver syndicate , and then only to enhance the market price of sliver bullion. "Without the pospectof certainty of gain to them the silver bill had never passed. Had congress desired merely to benefit the people , that wnj moro effectually accom plished by issuing greenbacks which were , equal in value to gold , not fluctuating ns sil ver , declared constitutional by the United. States supreme court , but that would not add millions to the silver syndicate. You want something practical and now mere theories of fur-oft execution will be of no avail for a present cmergeiKy. Don't wait with the fond expectation of the govern ment loaning money to every porbon tit I per cent per annum , You may start off with the proposition of granting that favor specially to producers , but before becoinluu a lav. ' It will embrace the entire people. Tlili is a far away vision , for it will bo neccssavj to secure the lower house of congress , the renate , the president , and llnully toe supreme court. To benefit the present generation is the pressing need. It will require years to control the government to the extent of even taking pos session of a bankrupt railroad for which it furnished the means nnd credit to build , openly plundering the pwplo by extortionate rates , bidding defiance to the claims of gov ernment whllu making princely fortunes for iti owners. f.et us then provide for the stern present , Comforting fancies willgivo pleasing thought while they lust und wo fo.irthut will oo as brief as thoexhiliratiugfuiiws to tlioojii'-m smoker , who , during the diva.-n , enjoys tKo elixir of all the happiness of the orient.
