Capital and Labor. In tho Chicago Tribune, or July 21 appear.1) a communication from .1. X. Taylor of this city based on the princi ple that there must be an equitable plan upon which capital aud labor can satis factorily meet and harmonize. He contends that the law of supply and demand enters as fully into the question of wages of labor as it does into that of any commercial commodity. When unbalanced, equilibrium must be restored by decrease or increase. We have not been able to fully employ and assimilate all tho labor that comes to us. Tho tinto is not far distant when restriction of immigration will be de manded. A qualified elective franchise is also advocated, not interfering with any rights already acquired, but fixing a time beyond which each voter should have the ability to read the ballot he voted, printed in the English language, mid sign his full name in the registra tion book. These regulations, it is contended, would either elevate or eliminate from our body politic many objectionable persons. Tho central idea of 3 1 r. Taylor's arti cle, however, is that capital, "because of close competition, furnishes the com bined results of material and labor for less than the cost of production based on a fair compensation for the labor employed. Material having a fixed basis of value, retires from competition when its price reaches the minimum cost of produc tion. Labor should and can have an intrinsic value and should not be called upon to bear the reductions consequent upon competitive bidding. Labor needs protection. Our national government has. in the inter-state com merce laws, provided a protection for railroads against themselves so that they are not and cannot be in competition. Why not nation and state commis sions to establish and maintain a se.-je of prices for labor based upon a minim um of 15 cents an hour for unskilled labor? It is contended that this, for labor, would have more far-reaching effects than the inter-state law has had for the railroads, and that it would successful Iv tako the place of arbitrary law and a't rho same time have all needed Uexibilitv and fully supply all that could bs hoped for from arbitration; that it would pre serve corporate and personal individual ity and tend to foster instead of crush out enterprise. Tin: JoruxAL regards all such thoughtful articles as valuable contri butions to tho literature of the great problem before the American people, the solution of which it is to be hoped' will be peaceful and on just principles. The general welfare must not be in terfered with by any combinations of citizens intent ou merely personal ends: the EovereignCy of the nation must not be bartered away by political parties: unpatriotic men must be taught obe dience to law. and measures projected in the interest or other nations and against our own must have the mark of puouc condemnation stamped ur.cn them most emphatically, aud these gen eral principles being followed, the coun try s prosperity is assured. The guiding hand of Providence was never more plainly visible in the historv of any nation than it has been with tho American people. It certainly is intended that we shall be an intelligent, independent and pro gressive nation, having an untold mtlu ence for good in the advance of mankind in all that makes them great and good. Our disputes must bo settled in cuns! nance with our foundation principles of liberty and fraternity. Cholera In Galllcia. London, Ang. 7.

DEMOOBATS TO HOLD A GAUOTJS. Keltlier Speaker Crisp Nor Chairman Wil son Consulted Call Not Indorsed by Con ferce Jfew Japanese Minister a Grad uate of Cambridge Law School Houm Proceedings National Capital New. Washington, Aug. 7. Chairman Voorhees of the finance committee has been unable to attend the conference on account of ill health and is still confined to his house. He has not yet been heard from on the points now at issue among the conferees. It has been assumed that he stood with the senate conference man agers, not only for the senate duty on EQgar, bnt alsC for a duty on coal and iron ore. He announced the contrary in an interview with a reporter Monday. He talked very freely, advocating such concessions ou the part of the senate as would bring about a speedy agreement and took strong ground in favor of yield ing to the Dpmocrats of the house for free coal and free iron ore. Compromise Settlement on Sugar. He said: "It seems to me there ought to be but little, If any. difficulty in leach ing an agreement between the two houses. The ways and means committee of the house did not m the first instance report in favor of free sugar, but were overruled by the house and free sugar put in the Wilson bill. i would have gladly concurred in this, but it was soon ascertained with mathematical certainty that such a bill could b- no possibility pass the senate. On this point of differ ence of the two house.1;, I look upon the president's letter to Mr. Wilson as a help rather than a hindrance towards a com promise settlement. The concession which the president advises the house to make on sugar is liberal and ought to bo satisfactory to every legitimate sugar in terest. I can entertain no doubt that it will furnish the basis of a successful sugar schedule. "Mr. CafFery has announced in the Bonnte. as I understand him, that Louisi ana will accept 4. per cent ad valorem, without any reference to the trustrpe cially if the bounty, or at least a portion, of it. Is continued on the present basis a few montlis longer. Under the present circumstances, I am unable to see how the sugar schedule can remain any longer any obstacle to an agreement. The other points of serious disagreement are embraced in the question whether the coal and iron shall lie free, or have a tariff duty laid on them of 40 cents a ton. These are exceedingly small and insignificant items of controversy oif which to defeat a great national .-j'steni of revenue reform, olstrnct all legisla tion looking to that end, disappoint and derange every business of the country, greatly embarrass the Democratic part' and inllict the gravest calamities on all classes of people. Will lie Held at Criminals. "If legislation shall entirely fail at this time owing to a stubborn disagree ment as to whether there shall be a small duty on coal and a small duty on iron ore or whether these two articles shall ba en the free list, the men who make that result inevitable mav be as sured that they will be held in everlast ing remembrance and everlasting exe cration. They will be hanged in effigy from one ocean to the other and their names will be pilloried in the estimation of the American people. There is so little ground in my mind now for a final disagreement that those who continue to insist on small things and thus compel disagreement will be held as criminals by all just minded people. "The sugar schedule being practically out of the way, as I have shown, by con cessions, the senate ought, in me judg ment, to concede free coal and free iron ore: and of course it would do so but for a membership in that lody which could be counted on the fingeis of one hand. I have no disposition to reflect on the motives of those who differ from me in opinion, bnt this small minority of the eenate have substantially carried their point ou sugar, can very easily and very honorably afford to make concessions on coal and iron. Such action on their part and the great result which would follow would lie hailed by the American people as a blessed deliverance from the present crisis in our affairs." DEMOCRATS TO HOLD A CAUCUS. Keltlier Speaker Crisp Xor Chairman Wil son Were Consulted. Washington. Aug. 7. Within lo min utes of the time the house caucus peti tion was circulated Monday, C0 members had signed it, and the caucus became a certainty. Members who had not wanted to sim last week were now anxious to do so. The petition requested Chairman Holnmn to call the caucus for 8 o'clock Tuesday to consider what ac tion, if any, should be taken in order to secure the early settlement of the tariff bill. The petition is not the one formerly circulated by Representative Springer, although he is interested in the latter. Intense feeling was developed as soon as th-caucus movement began. Mem bers gathered in the lobbies and talked excitedly for and against the caucus. Representatives Strauss, Wamcr and others friendly to the administration de nounced it as a fire "in the rear." i Neither Crip or Wilson Consulted. Neither Speaker Crisp nor Chairman Wilson had been consulted :ts to the cau cus, and it was recognized directly in opposition to their wishes. Representa tive Onthwaite. an associate of Snpn!nr Crisp ou the committee on rules, said: "The caucus is not indorsed by the com mittee ou rules or by the conferees. It is evidently a move agaiu-t the house conferees. Members of tho rules com mittee will piobably enter the caucus, but I expect the conferees will remain aw.iv, in viewjof the fact that reverse action by the caucus would bo equifatait to a vote of -want of confidence.' " Rexireseutaftvo Strauss, a close friend f Mr. Wilson, expressed the opinion mat tue caucus would prove a boomer ang. He believed Mr. Wilson and the other conferee and their friends would attend the eanrns and undertake to carry it. With such men as Speaker Cr: ip. Chairman Wilson, Bourke Cock ran and ethers urging loyalty to the home conferees. Mr. Strauss "did not think an antagonistic resolution would pass. Mr. Strauss said also that he ex Iected the caucus would bring out some startling conferencesecrets. which would insure the conferees support from the honse. Messrs. Springer and Bvnnm made no concealment of the fact that the caucus is for the purpose of ending the contest by accepting the senate bill. In this con nection they quote a statement made to uiem uy senator .Mills to the effect that further house resistance meant the kill ing of all tariff legislation. THE Kurino. NEW JAPANESE MINISTER. a Graduate of ramhrM, Law Scho.il, Hi, lu-en Appointed. v ashi::oton, ug. 7. Immediatelv after the Mjiiuutu-tment of the recail of Mr. lit-? z TVtt-noe as Jami!,- minipr to thii cout.try. it was stated Mr. Ktnteroa Kantaroe had been appointed to tins position. Tiiis wa an error, due, tic bureau of the department of foreign affairs to be envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to the United States. Mr. Kurino was one of the stu dents who were sent to. this country by the Japanese government as soon as that government ueuiut-u ujjuu iuo ivuj ui i sending j-oung men abroad to pursue the coorse of study in colleges and universi ties of Europe and America. Some 20 years ago when Mr. Kurino had thor oughly mastered the English language he devoted himself to the study of law in the Cambridge law school at Harvard. Subsequently, upon his return to Ja pan, he received an appointment in the department for foreign affairs, where he especially dealt with matters involving legal questions. In the summer of lbtfl, when certain changes were introduced in the organization of the department for foreign affairs, he was appointed chief of the diplomatic bureau. Within the last three years, many important questions have arisen in the relations of Japan, in cluding the abrogation of the consular jurisdiction clause of the treat con cluded with Portugal, the claims against the Corean government for damages ac cruing from certain alleged arbitrary actions of the local authorities of that country and the present difficulty cul minating in the declaration of war be tween Japan and China. In all these questions, Mr. Kurino has figured prom inently and he has been a favorite among the members of the diplomatic corps. CHAIRMAN WILSON AGAIN SICK. rrotracted Fight Orer tfie Tariff Mill Sr.p- ping His Strength. Washington. Aug 7. The strain on Chairman Wilson is again showing its effects aud his associates fear there will be a recurrence of the painful maladies which sapped his strength during the first tariff contest. His face is again swollen and he reluctantly admits that ho is well-nigh physically exhausted. Chiuefte 11 at red of Foreigner!!. Wasiiinotox, Aug. 7. Some idea of the feeling entertained by the Chinese toward foreigners which have caused anxiety for the safety of American mis sionaries is given iu the report ot the Canton plague received Monday at the Marine hospital bureau. Consul Charles Seymour, writing under date of June 2o, saj's: "Natives are trying to blame for eigners for the plague and have gotten up riots in Canton and the surrounding conntry." The consul reports that the plague does not seem to yield to medical treatment, that the mortality is SO per cent of the cases and the deaths since March 1 number at least 40,000. Cholera has made its appearance iu Canton in an epidemic form. Ilouse Proceeding!. Washington, Aug. 7. The house transacted some unimportant business Monday of a routine nature, but spent most of the day debating the senate amendments to the Indian appropriation bill, providing for the ratification of the treaties with the Nez Perces, Yakima and Yuma Indians, but no vote was taken. Johnson iO.) presented the me morial of the Central Labor union of Cleveland.

In the house a bill wa passed granting to the Duluth and Winnipeg Railroad company a right of way .through the Chippewa and White Earth Indian reservations. Kneland Expected to Ask Indemnity. London. Aug. 7. A dispatch to The Times from Shanghai says: The Viceroy Li Hung Chang expects the British gov ernment wfil claim compensation for the relatives of the victims of the sunken transport Kow Shing and also for the owner of the cargo, who were nnder the protection of the British flag when the Kow Shing was sunk. Li Hung Chang estimates the indemnity due to China from Japan on account of the Kow Shing affair at f3,50H,000. Japanese Officer Recalled. Berlin, Aug. 7. The Japanese Major Ando, director of the military school at fpkio, who ha? been in this city since February studying the organization of the German military schools, has been recalled to Japan by telegraph. Twelve other Japanese officers have also been or dered to return. 'Itepublicaii Versa Democratic Wages. Twenty-six Republican states pay an average of 1.33 per day in farm wages. Eighteen Democratic states pay an aver age of S7 cents per day in farm wages. This is from a report of the department of agriculturo in 1890. Could the south seo their folly in remaining Democratic, could they only put aside tho old sec tional feeling, become Republicans, adopt protection and develop their re sources, wages of farm hands would bo as high as in the north, and wages of laborers in other industries would be much higher than now. There are vast opportunities in tho south as soon as they throw off tho shackles of Democ racy and freo trade. The farm flourishes with tho factory. Each helps the other, and when factories aro run ning at full timo tho farmer will get good prices for his products and his hands good wages for their toil. "Worse llian Four Yean of War." Senator Hoar of Massachusetts has plainly and tersely described what the effect of tho proposed tariff will be upon tho country, as follows: "In the cost iu money, the destruction of property, the ruin of trade, the misery, the starvation of men accus tomed to work for the comforts of life, this bill is twofold worse than four years of war." Every Republican senator who in any way aids by his vote or countenances by his presence the enactment of such a bill will be contributing to a disaster ''twofold worse than four years of war." The north must prevent such wanton wickedness; tho north must de feat the south in the forum as well as on the field Buy American Silks. Why should your wife buy an im ported Japanese silk dress? There are American factories that are making silks just like the Japanese patterns. The Japanese men work for a few cents a day. The Americans cannot do so. There is no difference in the price or quality of the two different silks, so why not encourage the American silk industry by buying a dress pattern that Was made in your own country? By doing so you will help to give work to an American and make an American home happy. Revolutionary Feeling Increasing. New York, Aug. 7.

THE POOR MAN'S SUGAR" WORRIES THE HEAD OF THE TRUST. Mr. Haveuieyer'a Evidence Before the Com mittee Is Torn to Shreds Fals; and Mis leading Statements Designed to Deceive. Not One-third of "l'oor Man's Sugar." W enl.n rt 4 li a 1 tTAi.Ati t n w 1 h.a aD . J9 i higher grades of rcHncd tieing made from hiah- er grades of rav.-, and the lower grades of re finedthe poor man's sugar being made from the lower. It not being possible to bd made out of the higher grades of raw. The discrimination was against the article which supplied tho poor man with sugar and against the article on which tho greatest amount of capital and labor is employed in its manufacture and the cost of manufacture gen erally Is expended. The foregoing paragraphs are taken from the testimony of Mr. Henry O. Havemeyer, the president of the Sugar trust, as reported in The World, Juno 13, in answer to questions propounded by Senator Gray and Senator Davis of the senate investigating committee. Those were the statements of Mr. Have meyer. The facts are that over 70 per cent of the sugar imported into the United States is high grade and less than 80 per cent is low grado sugar. "Tho poor man" uses high grado grauulated sugar, which can be made out of loth high and low grado raw sugars. The yellow sugars aro not found now on the tables of tho people, and the darkest colored sugars aro used mainly for tobacco cur ing and such purposes, very little in deed going into direct human consump tion. From Mr. Havcmeyer's testimony it is plainly inferred, and was meant to be inferred, that "the poor man" would be oppressed by a specific tariff on raw sugar, and thero is fnrther inference that "the poor man':?" sugar consti tutes tho bulk of tho sugar refining busi ness, as not one person in half a million out of the total population of the United States knows to the contrary. The American Economist lias been to tho tronblo of compiling statistics to show what wero tho aggregate imports of raw sugar, according to each aud ev ery grado by which the duty estimated j under the tarilt act or lbb.l was col lectable. It compiled these imports for the whole period under which that tariff was in operation, beginning with the year ending Juno ."0, 18S4, and closing with tho year ending June 30, 1891, and gives the aggregate imports for the eight years and the average im ports for each year, according to each degree, as follows: imports or n.uv L'(5.:t roit laoitT yuaus KNII1MI JUNKliO, INI-'J1.

An analysis of the foregoing figures will show that out of the annual aver ago of imports of less than 2,f00,000,000 pounds of raw sugar there were 1,720, 000, 000 pounds imported between DO and 99 degrees test, leaving only 73(5,000, 000 pounds imported between the range of 73 and 89 degrees test. In other words, during tho whole of this period of eight years there was nt least 70 per cent of high grade sugar imported into the United States, while only 30 per cent was low grade, or "the poor man's sugar." Mr. Havemeyer further states that "the cost of manufacture generally is expended on the poor man's sugar. " If this bo tho case, then "the cost of man ufacture generally" is confined to one third of the total output of tho refiner ies and the other two-thirds can practi cally bo refined freo of cost. If this bo the case also, why does not Mr. Have meyer sell tho higher grades of sugar at lower cost lower even than tliu price of "the poor man's sugar" upon which "tho cost of manufacture generally is expended?" Siuco the operation of the McKinley tariff the cheaper price of the high grado sugar, such as granulated, has resulted in its much greater consumption, with a consequent lessening of the demand for the low grade yellow sugars "on which the greatest amount of capital and labor is employed in its manufacture and the cost of manufacture generally is ex pended." Therefore it is quite fair to assume that more than 70 per cent of tho sugar refined now consists of high p-ado sugar, and that less than 30 per cent is "the poor man's sugar, " tho cost of manufacture, therefore, having been decreased proportionately. If Mr. Havemeyer wore really as so licitous for the welfare of "the poor man" as he would fain have had the senato investigating committeu believe, he would at once cancel the Eecret con tract that now exists between himself aud the wholesale grocers of tho coun try, whereby special percentages and rates of discount are allowed them in return for their support and patronage, a bystem that has the practical effect Df creating a trust among the grocery trade and of preventing competition in the price of sugars retailed to "the poor man. " THE MICA MINERS. A Southerner Who Demand Protection and X'ightd Itepuhlicau Catties. Having been a manafacturer of pot tery in Pennsylvania and having repre sented the United States Potters' associ ation during tho centennial exhibition in 187G, and afterward, in ;8'f7. tho international exhibition of Philadel phia, I had occasion to visit many man ufacturing establishments in England, France, Germany and Austria, aud while there had occasion to compare their pauper labor with our laboi. If some of these free trado politicians would take a trip through the manufac turing aud mining districts of Europe, as I have done, they would soon change their minds and never talk free trade any more. I am nicely situated here iu the mountain region, own a comfortable home with beautiful gardens and several thousand acres of fine timber land. I am engaged iu mining and also sell large tracts of laud and have over 4,000,000 acres on tho market now and about 400 mines of all sorts. Of course I want protection. Mica was mined here on a large scale at one time and shipped to parts of this coun try and Europe. During Cleveland's - ' ' """' J former administration they pnt it on ! tho freo list, aud our mines were closed up, as wo could not compete with the cheap labor (10 cents per day) of India, During Harrison's administration it was put at 35 per cent duty, but before it took effect thoy laid in heavy supplies to last for some time, and now congress has put it on tho freo list again. As it is, we aro in hot water, and nobody is willing to risk money in the business. I Kaolin, or china clay, was discovered by me and became a great industry. Not knowing what these fool politicians will do finally, this business also is at , a standstill. ; I am doing all I can to assist and al ways have assisted the Republican cause in the endeavor to protect American in- , dustries.

An appeal for re- 1 lief from the drouth-stricken portions of . Nebraska, signctl by a committee claim- ing to represent proper interests, was ent to tho governor. It recites that the committee has just returned from an ex tended visit through the section in which the hot winds destroyed crops. The committee explains that it has reason to believe, from what it has been told, that thousands of families will "oither starve, emigrate or be fed by charity, unless the people as a whole provide for them." The committee suggests, as a solution of . the problem, that a special session of the legislature lie called immediately to de vise a state s)3tem of irrigation, and that those in the drouth districts bo given em ployment on the ditches. The committee locates most of the dis tress west of Grand Island and Holdrege. Governor Crounse is at present out of the state. The general impression is that the ciop failures are not complete aud that with economy little actual suffering will result without state aid, Alleged Murderer Round Ovar. Falls Citv. Neb., Aug. 7.

Th debts of the company are now $300,000, while the assets figure up $60,000, though a year ago the same assets were valued at $750,000. They include about 3,000 horses, ,r00 cattle, 70,000 sheep and 84,000 acres of land. Ex-Senator Warren, the president of the company. stated that the last shipment of sheep netted only 29 cents a head over cost of shipment and sale, where such sheep formerly brought ovar $3.
