At Wilbur Lately three members of

ligation at :tn curly hour on a Sunday
inornino;, and discovered :i nuniber of
yonno; fellows "jam blink', il u their
midst was the night watchman of the
town. Tho bcainperinfj was lively and
the watchman has since been relieved
of the burden of carrying his btar. Men
should be far less solicitous about sf

hut when chosen, the good of tho com
munity ami the enforcement of law
should bt their guiding principles of
notion.
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.

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.

years ago when Mr. Kurino had thor

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

questions, Mr. Kurino has figured prom
inently and he has been a favorite among
the members of the diplomatic corps.

'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

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

SUGAE IX COXGrEESS.
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

Totals 19,&1S,742,05S 2,4oG,092,St5
The average imports of raw sugar
during each of these eight years was
2,450,000.000 pounds, tho total for tho
eight years being almost 20,000,000,
000 pounds.
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. W. A. K. Schreiber.

TWOOD
JPPEAL FOR DROUTH SUFFERERS.
tluurniir Crouiie Aked to Call a Special
SeHion of Xebraska legislature.
Lincoln. Aug. 7. 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,

tbe Company Had 120,000 Sheep Wool
Schedule and Financial Stringency
Caused the Failure.
Cheyexn-e, Wy.. Aug. 7. On applica
tion of Assignee Foster, of the defunct
Kent bank, W. W. Gleason, manager of
the company, was appointed receiver of
the Warren Live Stock company, whose
herds of cattle, sheep and horses range
the hills of same nine counties in Ne
braska, Colorado and Wyoming. 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.
The other extensive bnsiness operations
in which he is engaged will not be se
riously affected by the receivership of
the live stock company. The causes
that led up to the receivership are stated
by Mr. Warren to be the free wool sched
ule and the financial stringency that has
held the whole country in its folds the
past year and the labor troubles of the
past few weeks. Up to and including
1&D2 the Warren Live Stock company
ran on its range 130,0tK) sheep, the
largest individual ownership in the
United States. Its present herds are
still in all probability the greatest in the
conntry.
