Izcns, tho remulns of Benjamin Harri
son wcro yesterday aftornoon Interrod
In tho family lot In Crown Hill ceme
tery. Closo by tho gravo were tho
members of his family, President Mc
Klnlcy and other visitors of distinc
tion and tho mora Intimate friends
of General Harrison. Back a dls
tonco of fifty yards behind rones,
guarded zealously by a largo forco of
liollco, stood with uncovoicd heads a
great multitude
Of passionate grief thero was llttlo
beyond tho mombers of his family,
but tho trlbuto of respect was unlvor
eal. It came from nil alike; from
those of his political faith and from
thoso who differed with him concern
ing what is be3t for tho nation's good ;
from men who havo been his lifelong
friends and from thoso who know
him merely by sight and to whom ho
never spoke. it camo from women
and children, from white and black,
from all conditions and kinds of peo
ple. Tho weather, llko that of yesterday,
was unsurpassable, with tho warm
breath of spring in every brcczo, and
yet in tho air n touch of winter.
Tho services at tho church and
gravo wcro elmplo in cxtremo, all In
most excellent taste, and llko tho pro
ceedings yestorday thero was an utter
cbsenco of friction in everything that
was dono. All was well ordered and
woll performed.

it wa3 tlmo to leavo for tho church.
President McKinloy, nccompanlod
by Governor Durbin, called at tho
houro about 1 o'clock. At nbDut tho
samo tlmo camo tho mombCB of Pres
ident Harrison s cabinet, and others
continually arrived until tho short ser
vices wore ovor. Tho peoplo sat in tho
parlors, filled tho halls nnd a number
6at on tho stairs while Dr. Hayncs'
read a short passage from tho scrip-'
tures and mado a few remarks touch
ing tho life of Gonoral Harrison, as lld
Dr. Niccol of St. Louis, and after a
brlof prayer by Dr. Haynes tho sorv
Ices wore over.
Tho florlst'3 wagon backed up to tho
.front of tho house and a few of tho
larger pieces wore loaded Into tho vc-
hiclo preparatory to bolng taken to the
church. Word was then sont to
Mrs. Harrison that tho time had como
for tho body to bo removed to tho
church and sho at onco camo down
from her room into tho parlor. Thero
was a fow minutes of bustle, whl3
percd directions by tho undertaker
and his assistants and a marshaling
of tho honorary pallbearers Into
column of twos.
Services took plnco at the church
Mr. Haines ndvanced to tho front o
tho pulpit platform and, resting his
loft hnnd upon tho largo church hi
bio, opened tho service by saying:
"I nm the resurrection and tho life,
Ho that bollovoth on Mo, though he
wero dead, yet shall ho live, nnd ho
thnt livoth and bellovcth on Mo shall
nover dlo."
After tho prayer tho choir rendered
tho hymn "Itock of Ages." This w.is
General Harrison's favorlto hymn and
It Is said it is the only ono ho over
, attempted to sing.
After tho services at tho gravo wcro
over and tho peoplo had left, carts of
earth wcro unloaded at tho graveside
and tho tomb filled and Howers placed

Expressions Emulative for the Good of
Republican Supremacy,
LINCOLN, March 18.
Only a fow moro days boforo the
final adjournment nnd still the state
legislature has a senatorial fight on its
hands, nnd tho prospect n3 dreary as
over that a solution will como in tlmo
to sco the state represented In con
gress by two good republicans.
Tho balloting for tho past week lias
not been fruitful, nnd tho changes wcro
fow, nnd not worthy of consideration.
Ono result of tho endeavor of tho
past week will probably bo tho aban
donment of tho present caucus rules
and tho ndoptlon of something differ
ent, or tho doing away with tho caucus
uitegcther, tho releasing of members
from all pledget, and f go-as-you-plcaBo
for tho wire
Tho Impression Is gaining ground
thnt tho point has been reached whero
something must bo dono. Thoro Is no
denying tho fnct thnt the republican
majority Is making itself tho laughing
stock of tho people by tho tactics it
hns pursued, nnd n great many of tho
rank nnd fllo nro getting heartily sick
nnd tired of tho llnsco. Their nrgu
nipnt Is, nnd Is a reasonable nnd logi
cal one, thnt tho party cannot nfford
to continue longer to pursue the courso
it has so far followed, for It Is recog
nized that the peoplo havo put It back
into power In tho stnto because dissat
isfied with the fuslonlsts, nnd It tho
party olllclals proceed to do nothing
but engage in n disgraceful scramble
for olllco whllo on trial, tho people will
bo led to the opinion thnt tho re
publican party is not a bit better than
tho other fellows.
A great deal of bitterness has al-
rcady sprang up, and it is perhaps suf
ftclently strong to lust over to another
campaign. Whllo it Is hoped nn nmle
nblo solution may bo reached, It la a
question whether It will or not.

IRON AND STEEL EXPORPTS.
Durlnc lOOO tho ForolRii Countries Fiir-
clmeil S130,000,000 Worth from
Unltod HtHten.
When ono considers tho full signifi
cance of tho statistic relating to our
exports of tho manufactures of Iron
nnd stool for tho cnlcudnr yenr iuuu,
it Is not difficult to nccount for tho
porturbatlon felt on nccount of tho
loss of trado In thcso lines which
Great Britain has suffered through tho
competition of th.o Unltod States,
Forty yenrs ngo tho man who should
predict that somo tlmo In tho ruturo
this country would find itself indo-
pendent of Europo In supplies of iron
and steel products for its own uso
would havo boon sot down ns n tho nffected trades aro socking to get
dreamer of wild and fnntastlo dreams, their money out of tho stock by dump
Amorlcan Free-Traders then told Ing their surpluses nt low rates upon
American consumers that It waB their
lot In llfo to produce food stuffs, raw
materials nnd precious motnls, nnd to
lot Europo do tho manufacturing for
them, It Is only within a fow years
that American Frco-Traders havo
ceased to talk that way.
But what would hnvo been thought
of tho man who oven ten years ngo
foreshadowed nn export trado amount
lug to $130,000,000 a year In Iron nnd
steel products manufactured In tho
United States? Ho would hnvo been
called crazy. Yot tho fact remains
that no fenturo of tho oxportatlons of
tho calendar year 1900 has been moro
remarkable than that of manufactures
of Iron nnil Bteel. When tho total for
1899 passed tho $100,000,000 lino much
surprlBo was felt In other parts of tho
world, and tho opinion was expressed
nt home and abroad that the high
prlcca which prevailed In the beginning
of tho year would causo u reduction of
these exports rathor than nn lncrcnso.
This expectation has not been realized
On tho contrary, tho year 1900 mado
even a larger gain than did tho year
1899, and brought tho grand total of
Iron nnd Bteel, exclusive of iron oro,
up to $129,033,480, or more thnn $100,-
000,000 In excess of tho year 1890, when
tho total waB a llttlo abovo $27,000,000,
nnd moro than double that of 1897,
when It was $02,737,250.
Almost every Important article
shows an Increase In 1900 ovor any
preceding year. Pig Iron amounts In
1900 to $1,500,000, ngalnst $3,250,000 In
1899, and $2,500,000 in 1898. Builders'
hardware shows a gain of nbout $1,
000,000 over 1899 nnd $2,000,000 ovor
1898, Steel rails amount In vnluo to
nearly $11,000,000 In 1900, against
about $0,000,000 In 1899. Electrical
machinery, which la greatly In domnnd
In nil parts of tho world, Increased
from $2,500,000 In 1803 to $5,250,000 In
1900. Sowing mnchlnos Increased from
$3,000,000 In 1898 to $1,500,000 in 1900,
and typewriters from $2,000,000 In 1898
r, .mnrlv 3 .1100 (100 In 1900.
The destination of tho articles oi
.ciiiiui ivtix iiiiiiiu&ubui i, nun vopi'viuiiy
of our machinery, Is literally to every
part of tho world. Our sewing ma
chines, typewriters nnd scientific In
struments go to Asia, to Africa and to
the Islands of Oceania and, what Is
moro remarkable, thoy go to experi
enced Europo with all her facilities
for manufacturing nnd her skilled
workmen. Of tho $6,788,000 worth of
instruments for scientific purposes, In
cluding telcphono nnd tclcgrnph in
struments, over $1,000,000 worth went
to tho United Kingdom nlone, nearly
n million dollars' worth to France
and $500,000 worth to Germany. Tho
United Kingdom nnd Germany each
tnko over a million dollars' worth of
our sowing machines out of n total
exportation of $4,500,000 worth. Over
n million dollars' worth of typewriters
ncttinlly went to tho United Kingdom
nnd a half million dollars' worth to
Germany. Of tho total exportation of
builders' hardware, .amounting in
vnluo to $9,782,402, over $2,000,000
worth went to tho United Kingdom,
nearly a million dollnrs" worth to
Germany, nbout a hnlf million dollars'
worth to Franco and nnothor $1,000,-
000 worth to othor Europo. Of tho
$10,S95,41C worth of steel rails export
ed In 1900, over a million dollars worth
went to Europo nnd nearly $1,000,000
worth to British North America.
looking nt tho grand total of nearly
$130,000,000 of export of iron and
steel manufactures from tho United
States for last year, it is qulto clear
thnt Frce-Trndo Great Britain has am
ple caimo for uneasiness over tho com

Itecaute uf Tariff They Cannot ' lie
Dumped on Till Country.
An English correspondent, writing
from Gormnny, describes Industrial nf
fairs In that country ns drifting from
bnd to worse. Tho textile Industries
wore tho first to suffer, tho wnrohouscs
lllllng up with unsalablo goods in
which tho capital of tho factories waa
locked up, but tho Iron Industries hnvo
been represented ns gcnernlly pros
perous, nnd tho belief seomod general
that tho prosperity of a portion of tho
Industries would enrry tho country
through. Tho correspondent roforred
to, however, stntes that tho Iron ln-
utiBtrlos nro beginning to traffor, cspe-
cuiiy tho group known as "electrical
industries." Ho cites roporta from
Hxtecn Important trado centors which
show thnt the labor markot Is over-
etoeked and thnt workmen aro vainly
seeking employment. Factories aro
closing for want of orders and thoro
i general distress which glvcB no
pronilso of nhatemcnt. Tho trouble
is that they can mako moro goods
thnn can bo sold. Tho factories In all
any country which will recolvo thorn.
Tho only reason why thoso surpluses
do not como hero and tnko tho place
of gootla mndo by pur own workmen
Is our Protective Tariff. Tho power
of production with modern machinery
exceeds in nil countries tho cffoctlvo
demand. When stocks havo accumu
lated they must bo got rid of nt any
price, regardless of cost Tho only
market any nation Is suro of Is Its
own market, and if It will not protect
that It will bo tho dumping ground
for tho surplus stocks of all countries
ns ono after nnothor thoy nccumulnto
them. Tho markets of this planot urn
not unlimited. Every year In nil In
dustries' the limit In moro quickly
reached. Tho Germans nttrlbuto n
great Bharo of their troubles to tho
fact that Japan Is manufacturing hor
own goods with her own chenp labor
nnd that wars In China nnd South Af
rica Btop trndo. Doubtless thoro is
somo Interruption by wnr, but Gor
mnny's Bharo of tho trado of tho dls
turbed districts If It wero all lost,
which It is not, Is not largo enough
to create n nntlonal crisis. The trouble
with Gormnny Is thnt tho great com
mercial nations which Bho hoped to
supply nro manufacturing moro nnd
moro of thnlr own goods, nnd drawlnfl
tho lines nbout their own markets still
tdoscr. And n the correspondent Bays,
thoro Is no likelihood ot a chnngo.
