Dun's Review says that most lenders now require a stipulation for gold pay ments in all time loans. Tho market for commercial paper is singularly nar row, with extreme caution in the scru tiny of names. Tun Washington Post wishes to know where tho republican party can find a safer, a stronger or a wiser leader than Henry M. Teller. He is certainly a good man. and tho republican party has many such, who would givo us an administra tion worthv of the countrv. Titn groat body of tho voters who helped to put in the present administra tion aro completely tired of the "change" thus made, and are now ready for au other. It is well enough to think twice, esecially if you are thinking to vote anything but the republican ticket protection to till American interests. Tnx Chicago Inter Ocean is very sen sible in claiming that it is time to quit trifning with anarchism as a political proposition and consider it as a patho logical problem. Tho man who belioves it is his mission to' slay his family to the glory of God, wo claim tho right to ar rest and incarcerate on tho first mani festation of that tendency. The mono maniac who has an idea that he is divinely commissioned to destroy socie ty should be similarly dealt with" before no iiau an opportunity to matte a prac tical illustration of his theory. The profession of anarchy should be n crime do facto, and wo should be no moro lenient with the man who utters anarch istic doctrines than with the man arrest ed at night with a burglar's kit in his possession. A criminal tendency should be as serious a concern of law as a crim inal purpose, and tho best law is that which does tho most to j)revent crime. President Tkacy tit tho League meet ing in his speech had this to say in a brief summary regarding a subject in which wo are all more or less interested just now: Inl8Sl when the Democratic party let go" of its power, the credit of tho countiy was impaired; it was threatened by rebellion and its Hag disgraced, fac tories were closed and workmen wero parading its streets clamoring for bread. When it returned to complete power in 181M, it found a happy and contented people, a nation at tho very zenith of prosperity and new enterprises and pro jects fairly encompassing the continent. It found tho new West thrilled with the movement of mighty industries which were developing her mines and demon strating the great forces and resources of her territory. It found that in thirtv years the United States had made tho most remarkable material and industrial advancement in tho history of nations; that in that time it had risen front tho level of dishonored credit and protested national notes to the wealthiest and most honored nation on earth, and all this under the republican policy of pro tection to American labor and American industries, and under tho leadership of such statesmen as Lincoln, Grant, Har rison and Blaine." It is no uso to refer to tho present state of tho country, under democratic administration it is apparent to all. Compelled to Eat Human Flesh. Port Townsend, Wash., July 3. The steamship Queen has arrived from Sitka andreports that Captain Huntley, the third mate and 15 survivors of the whal ing bark, James Allen, wrecked in west ern Alaska, had arrived at Sitka ami taken passage for San Francisco.

Senators Offer Resolutions or. the Pullman Boycott. SENATOE HILL WINS A 7I0T0EY. XUs Amendment to Have Repeal of the Hngar Bounty Take Immediate Effect Was Adopted Representative Crain Favors Congressional Action to Settle Pullman Strike Washington News. Washington, July 3. The Pullman Strike had an echo in the senate Monday. Mr. Call offered a resolution for the ap pointment of a joint committee of five members of the house and senate to in quire into the cause of the existing Pull man strike, the justice of the demands of the workingmen, and to report by bill, or otherwise, and Mr. Kyle offered a reso lution, indorsed by President Debs, of tho A. R. U., and General Secretary Hayes, of the K. of L., looking to the protection of the strikers from federal in terference, except to insure tho trans portation of the mails, and declaring that the detachment of Pullman or other parlor or sleeping cars from a train shall not constitute an offence against the United States. Both resolutions, under the rules, went over until tomor row. The senate began formal consideration of the tariff bill amended in committee of the whole in the senate Monday, and much progress was made. The sugar, which overshadowed the other schedules, being considered, the pivot upon which the fate of the measure depended, went through the trying ordeal and escaped with only one amendment. That amend ment made the repeal of the bounty and the schedule to go into effect upon the passage of the bill. The adoption of this amendment was a signal victory for Senator Hill. In addition to the Repub lican votes in favor of it, four Democ rats, Messrs. Coke, George, Irb' and Pugh and Mr. Peffer (Pop.) joined Mr. Hill. TO INVESTIGATE PULLMAN STRIKE. Representative Crain Favors Congressional Action to Settle Matters. Washington, July H. Representative Crain (Tex.) introduced a resolution in the house for investigating the Pullman strike. Mr. Crain was a member of the Curtin congressional commission of 18S5 which investigated the great strike of the year and succeeded in securing a settlement after much trouble to both sides. The resolution directs the com mittee on interstate commerce to at once investigate the causes that have led up to tho Pullman strike and its successive stages of development, and to rewrt at the earliest 'practicable time as to the means of overcoming tho present conflict and prevent similar trouble. ( Mr. Crain said of his resolution: 'Technically it ma- be said congress is to arbitrate, but in these great conflicts which cross state lines and involve the whole country congress is the only pos sible power to act. Moreover, the moral effect of a congressional investigation is sufficient to check the conflict, and pos sibly stop it. There is a natural will ingness on both sides to defer to what a bodj representing congress may suggest. The strike of 18S5 cost the Knights of Lalor thousands of dollars a day, yet the settlement which the Curtin commit tee proposed and which I had the honor to write was accepted by Master Work man Powderly on the one hand and the railway men on the other and that strug gle was ended." POLICY OF THE ADMINISTRATION- The President anil Members of the Cabinet Uelri a Long Conference. Washington, July 3. An extended conference was held at the White House, lasting from i) o'clock until midnight Monday. There were present besides the president Secretary of War Herbert, Attorney General Oluey, Major General Schofield, Secretary Gresham and Gen eral Miles. When the conference was adiourned the officials were very reticent in regard to its result. It was learned, however, that the situation had been reviewed in detail and the general policy of the ad ministration outlined. The views ex pressed were generally to the effect that while the strike was likely to fall of its own weight and from lack of thorough crganization, yet it was necessary for all authorities to be on the alert and to check at the outset any overt and law less acts. It was held that tho law was amply sufficient to authorize federal in tervention whenever conspiracy was shown, as well as when mails were in terfered with or the interstate com merce act infringed. No specific di rections were given General Miles. He will leave for Chicago immediately and resume control of his forces. Cleveland's Position on tho Strike. Washington, July 3. The president, who at first had been disposed to regard the strike as existing to a large extent in the minds of what he calls the sensa tional press, expressed himself, after listening to Olney's official story, as be lieving the matter to be of a very serious character. He declared that the govern ment must protect its own property, see that its business is transacted and be ready to give prompt assistance where ever it could legally do so. Indian Land Title Good. Washington, July 3. The secretary of the interior has ruled the Pueblo In dians in Colorado hold such title to their lands as to withdraw the question of their land lease from the jurisdiction of the interior department. Comparative Treasury Statement. Washington, July 3. The compara tive statement of the receipts and ex penditures for the year ended June 30, 1894. shows the following receipts $29t', 900,336, and the expenditures ;G(i..'93, S59, which leaves a deficit of $9,G33,023. The customs receipts show a falling off of about- $01,000,000, aud internal revenue about $14,000. There was an increase of about $4,500,000 in tho ex penditures on account of the war depart ment and about lJidO.OO on account of the navy. There was a decrease of over 1,300,000 in the civil and miscellaneous! expenditures about 3.000,0u0 on account of the Indian service and a decrease of over 18,000,000 on account of pensions. -titer Sleeping Car Monopolies.

It is as follows: "That on and after Jan. 1, IS'j-3, all railroad companies en gaged m interstate commerce shall own or by lease control all sleeping cars oa their roads or branches operated or con trolled by them.

The "Cleveland Badge" has, we are pleased to know, met with pronounced success. In fact, it has been the most successful free trade party measure or emblem since March 4, 1893. It has "caught on" with the people, who recog nize its peculiar appropriateness. The Macomb Journal will long be remem- gJLEMEikfl ma-Baas! rmmm THE EMBLEM OP FREE TRADE. bered as the originator of the story, while the idea of adding a sketch thereto orig inated with The American Economist, where the original drawing is highly prized. Believing that this important "badge," the emblem that represents the free trade party of poverty, should be perpetuated, we submit a new design that we may expect to 6ee worn upon the proud breasts of all free traders during tue coming1 congressional throughout the countrv. campaigns Free Coal Would Be Worse. One of the most unfortunate and re grettable recent events is the failure of the Cleveland (O.) conference to settle the soft coal strike. The difference between the wages the miners want and the wages the opera tors want to pay is only 14 cents a ton. Of course the demagogue free trade journals are seizing upon the declara tions of President McBride of the Miners' union that the wages offered by the mine owners mean starvation for the miners as evidence that protection does not pro tect wages. But how long could the soft coal min ers hope to maintain a strike for 79 cents or 70 cents a ton if the 75 cents a ton duty against the soft coal of Canada was taken off? The highest wages paid in Canadian soft coal mines is only 40 cents a ton. Let it in dutj- free, as the original Wil son bill was going to do, and no Ameri can soft coal miners will ever be heard of again striking for a wage rate of 79 cents a ton. New York Becorder.

Railroad Officials Chafing Under the Em bargo on Business Federal Troops Or dered Out In Colorado and California. Mrs. Stanford Royally Treated Strikers Trying to Arbitrate at St. Louis. Chicago, July 8. The regular troops at Fort Sheridan have been ordered to move. Their destination is not known at present, but is supposed to be Blue Island. Chicago, July 3. Monday's develop ments in the great Pullman-American Railway union strike were prolific in sensationalism, the principal theater of action being in Chicago and adjacent suburbs. Wild rumors were rife when it was announced that orders have been issued for the Second regiment to pro ceed at once to Blue Island, 18 miles out. Extra editions of all evening pa pers, with warlike headlines, were eagerly scanned bj- thousands of anxious people. This report proved later to ba unfounded. The first serious clash oc curred when 200 deputy United States marshals were surrounded at Blue Island by 2,000 strikers, who openly de fied federal authority. Weapons were drawn on both sides and Deputy Mar shal John A. Logan was painfully cut with a knife, bnt when a bloody con flict seemed imminent the deputies re tired to their barrack cars to await re inforcements, leaving the strikers mas ters of the situation. Locked Horns With the Authorities. In the evening an injunction from the United States conrt was read and bul letined. Tho anthority of the court was openly derided and after a few minutes quiet the riotous spirit of the strikers re asserted itself. At midnight reports of other disorders were current, it being stated that the strikers were tearing down the bulletin mandate of the court. Fearing to precipitate bloodshed the Rock Island decided after its 8:30 ex press had been gotten through not to make any effort to move trains. Th-i strikers have now locked horns with the state and federal authorities. Tho rail road officials are chafing under tho con tinued embargo on business. The des perate condition of their lato employes, determined not to work themselves no to allow ethers to do so. is evidenced by the flood of reports of individual conflicts here and there coming from all over the city. Number of Trains Derailed. A number of trains have been .derailed by misplaced switches. A Panhandle passenger train was partly ditched at Kinzie and Caual streets but was not seriously dela3ed. The strikers are steal ing brasses from the axle boxes of cars, and in some instauces dropping coupling pins into the cross head guides of the lo comotives, causing the destruction of cylinder heads. Tons of fruit, vegetables, ice, meats and other perishable goods stand in the cars under a boiling sun, no one caring or daring to move it to its destination. Dumb animals crowded into stock cars suffer thirst and hunger, and prices of vegetables and fruits are going up. District Attorney Milchrist, when asked if troops had yet been ordered out from Fort Sheridan, said: "I do not think they will be called out until the or der of the courts has been violated and the judges recommend that such a meas ure being taken to uphold the dignity oi the court aud justice. Unless the trouble is brought to an end soon, it is my opin ion the strike will terminate in blood shed." The fiiemeu on the Lake Street Ele vated road decided they would strike to assist the A. R. U. Tho specific cause of the strike is that the elevated road re ceived some coal delivered by the Pan handle, boycotted by the A. R. U. Telegraphers Not Takiug Part. M. V. Powell, grand chief of the Or der of Railway Telegraphers, said: "We are not taking any part in the strike. We are affiliated with the other railroad brotherhoods and will be guided by any action taken by the federation. We cannot afford to come into a strike which was ordered without consultation with the other railroad organizations. It would have been better all around had Mr. Debs aud his people, before ordering tho strike, consulted with us, then he would have had some claim upon us, but it is now presumptuous for him to ask us to strike at his bidding.' GENERAL MANAGERS' BULLETIN. Say That Seventeen Chicago Roads Are More or lss Embnrraased. Chicago, July 8. The general man agers of the Chicago roads Monday even ing issued the following bulletin: The worst reports come from the Kock Isl and, which was not able to move any trains on account of a crowd of 2,000 at Blue Island, who controlled the situa tion. The United States deputy mar shals and the Cook count' deputy sher iffs being powerless to handle the mob. On the Michigan Central the indications are that there will bo trouble on ac count of the employment of new men to take the places of the striking switch men. The Illinois Central is still in bad shape regarding suburban business, but is moving through trains. The Milwau kee and St. Paul is also badly embar rassed by the striking employes. On these roads occurred the most serious difficulty. Seventeen roads in Chicago are more or less embarrassed by the strike and many passenger trains are being moved as on the Panhandle, under heavy guards of deputy marshals for mail trains and deputy sheriffs for other trains, in order to get them through the strikers and other sympathizers who congregate along the tracks. The railroads have not altered their position, the bulletin continues, and they will not parley with the men wia, ust to aarike. The places of the men who struck will be filled as fast as possi'tlf and force will bo met with force to the extent of asking the state for troops to keep the roads ops n whereever their action becomes neces sary. If the stato cannot afford ample protection the railroads will ask the United States government to send troop3 to the scene of th disturbance. STRIKERS TRYING TO ARBITRATE. Committee at St. Loufe Met a Cool Recep tion From the Merchants Exchange. St. Louis, July a. The status of the railroad strike here Monday evening was that of almost complete interruption of freight traffic, while passenger trains made up by yardmasters and a numbet or terminal association switchmen whe had returned to work were moving prac tically on time. On both sides of the river all switchmen have struck except those of the Wa'jash and the St. Louis, Keokuk and Northwestern. In all about 1,500 men have gone out in all the yards, and perhaps 2,000 more have been thrown out in unskilled lines of labor by the de fection of the switchmen and their al lies. The only addition to the ranks of the strikers Monday were the freight brakemen of the St. Louis division of the Louisville and Nashville, who have laid up that division. The managers of the lines entering St. Louis continue their tons to fight the strike, ana ae they will soou bo in good shape again. United States District Attorney Clap ton received instructions from Attorney General Olney to see that there is no in terferenco with mail trains here. In ac cordance with this order. United States Marshal Lynch has stationed deputies at the Union depot to protect trains and ar rest all persons offering interference. A committee of strikers called on Mayor Walbridge to secure his good offices in the direction of arbitration of the strike. The mayor agreed to act with others that might be selected with the assent of all interested parties. The committee then called on' tho directors oi the Merchants' exchange, but they wen received very coolly. Later the commit tee were informed by letter from the Merchants' exchange that the strikers had made such threats that they stood in the light of lawbreakers and therefore the directors declined to act as arbitra tors. TREATED MRS. STANFORD ROYALLY. Delegation of Strikers Transferred Her te Another Car so She Conld Reach Home. DuNSiium, Cal., July . A felicitous incident over the great strike on the Southern Pacific system was witnessed here Monday. Mrs. Jane Stanford, widow of the late Leland Stanford, had been for two days stranded in her private car north of here. The burning of a trestle on Sunday made it impossible for her car to proceed. A delegation of the striking A. R. U. men proceeded to her car with carriages, brought her to this city and put her on board another car that the men had decked in bright colors with flags and bunting. A brass band headed the party. While a locomotive was being coupled to the cars Mrs. Stanford thanked the men and assured them that were her husband living the present trouble on the Southern Pacific would not have arisen. "Would this offer be made to Mr. Huntington?' asked Mrs. Stanford. "No; Mr. Huntington would not be allowed to even walk on this road," was the answer by the spokesman for the strikers. When the car was pulled out of Duns muir a guard of strikers went along to see that it should not fall into the hands of the company's officials. Coal Famine Threatened In DeuTer. Denver, July 3. The strike is in the hands of a general committee composed of representatives of every department. The shops of both the Santa Fe and the Denver and Rio Grande are working with full forces. The Rio Grande men ntill refuse to strike. Potatoes are sell ing at 1 per 100 pounds. Not more than 200 toas of coal is in the hands of dealers, aud if the strike lasts two days longer the cable lines will have to stop running. The electric line has a three months' supply on hand. Uncle Sam's Men at Trinidad. Trinidad, Colo., July 3. The United States troops arrived here Monday night. Slow progress was made, because every bridge and switch was examined before the train was permitted to cross. The arrival of the troops was a surprise to the strikers, as they had cut the wires. The only occurrence in the way of a dis turbance was an attempt to pull the fire man from tho engine, whereupon the en gineer aud fireman were taken to camp under escort. Unable to Handle the Strikers. Santa Fe, N. M., July 3. The United States marshal has telegraphed for at least 200 United States troops. It is ex pected the troops will be ordered to Raton. Not a train has moved over the Santa Fe system in this territory for one week. United States marshals are unable to handle the 8,(Mrt) strikers in New Mexico. CALLED TO ACCOUNT. A WGRKINGMAN ASKS THE PRESI DENT TO REDEEM HIS PLEDGES. He Has Cheapened Goods, Labor, Wages and the Presidency He Secured Votes Under False Pretenses Where the Peo ple Are Anxious to See Him. One of the important things guaran teed under your contract (with the na tion) was that you would make things cheaper. You have made some progress in that direction which honesty requires you should be given credit for. Arti cles of food, however, though much cheaper than under the lower tariff four years back, are not much changed in retail price from a year ago a fact I throughly tested in my timo of want and such difference as does exist, store keepers tell me, is temporary and due to the fact that the smaller quantity used by the working and other classes during the past year has left an unusual store of such products on hand, which farmers and owners have had to sell in order to get money or avoid loss. But some things you have made de cidedly cheaper. You have cheapened clothing, dry goods and nearly all kinds of manufactured articles, temporarily down to one-third the regular price and one-half the cost to make, through bank rupt stocks on all sides, with many rare bargains which I would gladly jump at if I only had my old job and money to buy with. With these you have also cheapened our labor until over 2,300,000 workingmen have been months unable to sell it at any price and 3,000,000 more, through reduced time or pay, for more than an average of three-quarters its former value. You have cheapened the country by prostrating its industries, de creasing the consumption of its products and a loss of over $15,000,000,000 of busi ness in a single year. You have cheapened the nation before the world by a miserable attempt to force a brass mounted queen over a friendly people. You have cheapened the presi dency by its use to intimidate and cor rupt the people's representatives in their official action and to secure their co-op eration in an effort to degrade a large part and to cheapen the whole people. You have cheapened your party by show ing through its leaders its hypocrisy, want of settled principles, incapacity to legislate for the country's welfare and its treachery to American and favorit ism of foreign interests. You have cheap ened your supporters by exhibiting their weakness, cowardice, servility and their readiness to sell their votes and the in terests of their constituents for official favors, and, lastly, you have cheapened yourself by betra3Tal of public trust through misappropriation and use of a public office to repay money used to se cure your election. In fact, you have been so generally successful in this par ticular that both you and your support ers will pass down through the ages as the Cheap Johns of American history. For over six years you have repeatedly told us that if we should ever lose our jobs there is always plenty of good pay ing work to be had. This you said to secure our help, through our votes, in your intended destruction of the salt makers, wool raisers, woolen manufac turers and other industries, and the turning adrift of their help. A large number of us who then believed you now desire to see you about that state; ment.

From a Workingman's Letter to President Cleveland. A Word oa Kxports. A free trader is always telling us that under protection we are not able to sell our goods in foreign markets, but that if we have free trade we shall be able to sell in every market in the world. Dur ing the last 20 years England has been a free trade country while America has been protected. We can see how the ex ports of the two countries have increased from the following figures: England. America. 18TO-1880 aw 124.0 1880-1880 5J 39.7 Average increase 21,0 Ri.3 It thus appears that during these 20 years the average increase of exports has oeen only 21 per cent in free trade Eug land while it was 84.3 per cent increase iu America. This fact is calculated to tipset another free trade theory. BOGUS TARIFF REFORM. "Reform" is a sort of Jekyll and Hydo, The double faced figure of Janus repeating. The mantle he formerly carried with pride Is now used to cover up all kinds of cheating. With copper and lead and stuff that is base He made yellow coin that was "queer" and was funny. And when the attorney of state called his case He said it was only "reform of the money.' It had horns like a bull and a tail like a cat. Claws, head, legs and trunk without any re lation. When the fellow that stuffed it was asked, "What is that:-" He declared it a worthy "reform of creation. When our mills are closed up and our indus tries dead. And our gold sent abroad to pay foreign ad vances. He tells the strapped workman to hold up his head It is only a needed "reform in finances." When the toiler in idleness, hunger and want Tries to borrow a dime from his hungrier neighbor. The goods he once made he could buy "cheap forca8h," And this is "reform for American labor." Reform your protection and take off your tax. Give the paupers of Europe your markets and wages. Lay the burden of poverty on your own backs Is the plan of the "tariff reform" and sages. Stephen E. Koot, M. D. In the Dentist's Chair. ,It has always been claimed by the party of free trade that "unprotected" industries are in no way affected by the tariff. This 13 all wrong. What affects one industry affects others, and if a pro tective tariff causes prosperity directly to one class of the community it indi rectly brings prosperity to others. The American Protective Tariff league has sent blanks to 120 different dentists in the city of New York propounding the following query: "Supposing 100 represents your collec tions for the month of January, 1893, what percentage of 100 more or less will represent your collections for the month of January, 1891'r'' The answers received showed a wide range, in one case a dentist had only collected 25 per cent as much last Janu ary as he did in January. 1893. In an other case the collections were 20 percent larger than last year. But the average of all the replies shows collections of only 59 per cent. In other words, for every $100 collected by these dentists in January, 1893, they collected only $59 in January, 1894. It appears that the Cleveland hard times have not affected the amount of work of the dentists in very many in stances. But people call for less expen sive work. Consequently the earnings of the dentist are less, besides his being nnnble to collect what he does earn. It is a point that dentists in every city in the country should remember that under a-free trade administration collections of money earned fell off 41 per cent within a year. For every $100 they only got $59. Protection to other industries makes the dentist's business the more prosper ous. Kxrnrsion to Aslmry i'ark, N. J. The Baltimore and Ohio R. R.
