Some people are foolish enough to believe that the republican party is in favor of retiring the Gve hundred mil lion of stiver now iu circulation. Such is uot the case. Under their adminis tration 3500,000,000 of sdver was coined and they purpose to see that the same is kept in circulation and at par.

This is not a year for further experi ments with the long-exploded theories of those who are incompetent to govern. The people are going to take the short cut to the restoration of general pros perity by voting for the return of the party to government which made the United States the principal nation and her people the most intelligent and gen erally prosperous Uie world has ever known. fDea Moines (Iowa) Register. The republicans of the Sixth district, on the forty-third ballot, nominated A E. Cady of St Paul as a candidate for congress. Mr. Cady has many old ac qasintances in this portion of Nebraska who will be glad to see him in a seat in congress, because they know he will be n honor to the state. Mr. Cady was formerly editor of the Schuyler Sun; more recent years a banker at St. Paul; he has served his district in the legisla- ture, and with distinction. The Wayne Republican is quite right when it says "Knox, Madison, Cuming and Stanton counties will now, in all probabilities, be ready to'take a position on the congressional question." These counties will have something to say when the proper time arrives. Speak ing for Madison county alone, we have a few political debts to pay, and the measure of payment will be in the same proportion aa this county was remem bered at the recent state convention. Norfolk News. The republicans of Colfax county will take a reasonable degree of pride in the renomination of their honored citi zen, H. C. Russell, for commissioner of public lands and buildings. Mr. Rus sell has proven one of the best state officers Nebraska ever had. His record has been unmarked by a single official act which has not been creditable to his career as a man and a public servant. His nomination will be received with genuine satisfaction throughout the state and on November lid the party will roll np a majority of ."50,000. Schuyler Sun. A succession of earthquakes, accom panied by a tidal wave, have devastated the island of Yezo, which contains the northern provinces of Japan. The town of Kumaishai is reported to have been entirely swept away. The loss of life, according to a dispatch from the Ameri can Secretary of Legation at Tokio is estimated at thirty thousand. The hocks of earthquake followed each other at brief intervals for twenty boars, daring which time a state of the mtmost horror prevailed. The island of Yeco contains ten populous provinces and is separated from the Japanese mainland, the island of Honshiu, by the trait of Tsugarn. It has before ex perienced several earthquakes, and con tains several active and extinct vol canoes. Tooth Companion. The campaign is evidencing Major McKinley's ability to tersely state the issues. To a crowd of a thousand visit ing friends from Tuscarawas county, Ohio, on Friday, he 6aid: "A6 your spokesman has already said in this presence are farmers, laborers, mechanics, miners, railroad employer, merchants, professional men and rep resentatives of every rank of people. And you are here distant from your home not from curiosity nor from any considerations at all personal, but you are here because in your hearts you be lieve in the great fundamental princi ples doctrines of the republican party. (Loud applause.) You believe that those principles are best for you when put into practical legislation and ad ministration. You believe that these principles wiil secure to nil the people the largest measure of good to the largest number, and you believe that because you know that for more than a third of a century these great republi can principles dominated legislation and administration in this country, and that during all that period you have enjoyed exceptional prosperity which you have not enjoyed in the last three years and a half. (Loud applause.) When there is work there is wages, and when there is work and wages there are consumers who constitute the best market for the products of our soil. Having destroyed business and confi dence by a free trade policy, it i? now proposed to make things still worse by entering upon an era of depreciated currency. Our creed embraces an hon est dollar and untarnished national credit, adequate revenues for the use of the government, protection to labor and industry, preservation of the home mar ket and reciprocity which will extend our foreign markets. McKinley. The month of June saw the govern ment expenditures amount to $10,000, 000 more than its receipts. In other words, under the operation of the Wilson-Gorman law, the government failed to take in enough money to pay its ran ning expenses. Yet there aro people who will tell you that the tariff ques tion is settled for good. For the infor mation of nil such we desire to say that the tariff question will never be settled until the government is taking in enough to meet current oxpenses. J Ful lertou News. The party that could steer this old St'ip of state for thirty years and so as to uake it the most prosperous and pro gressive nation in the world is a very good pirty to have at the helm. The republican party did that and when the rudder wus voted from their hands and placed in those less skilled the crash came. Arid, now what are the voters going to do about it?- Stanton Picket. NOT VERY CHEEKING. FREE TRADE TARIFF PROVES DISAS TROUS. New York Herald Kav About a. XJttle In crease la I'.xporU, but Overlook Im port Labor Loc4 Mote Work Than It Galas Some lterent Fllattlaua. The labor and capital uiployed in all American manufacturing industries should ponder very deeply just now the cheerine fact, which the late. returus of the bureau ot ttuiitic.s bring o light, actured that the exports of our tuaii goods in 1 895 have beaten all records. New York Herald. Tevious Tli9 suggestion of the New York that The Herald's deliberate distortioi of the results shown by our trade static tics arises because that Democratic pa per is not furnished with brains to com prehend the compilations may be tho correct oue. Assuming that this is 60, and that the policy of the paper is di rected by its proprietor, it is some eat isfactiou to know that the "cheerful idiot" is a resident of Paris and not of the United State. His latest bit of flim flam was the following : EXPORTS OF IKME3TIU MANUFACTURES FOR ELEVEN MONTHS, ENDING NOVEMBER. 1524. 15.

Ten thousand Republican calam ity bowlers cannot gainsay this fact. Of course this Pecksniff had no use for our imports of similar goods. He had no desire to be honest, even if he knew how. But here are the imports of the same classes of goods : IMPORTS OF FOREIGN MANUFACTURES FOB ELEVEN MONTHS, ENDING NOVEMBER. 1S94. 1S95.

We omit "usacbiqery" because it is already included iu the "iron aud steal" manufactures, and the totals would inaccurately represent our foreign trade statistics if "machinery" were giveu again us a separate clas of goods. Here is the trade balance that the "cheerful idiot" of un-Ainericau journalism failed to present iu his ac counting: INCREASE FOR ELEVEN MONTHS, ENDING NOVEM SEB, 1395.

The oth er side of the national ledger shows that our imports of similar foreign goods in creased by $10,032,831. The balance of trade against us was $7,974,398 in the 11 months. This is "tho cheering fact." JFhe increase in what we bought is prac tically just double the increase of what we sold. For every dollar's worth of trade captured iu the markets of the world we have lost $2 worth of trade in the iron and steel, chemical, leather and glass trades at home. The "cheerful idiot" says that "Dem ocratic newspapers should make the country ring with the announcements of these statistics." We dou't believe they will.

July .4. Never before in its history has this quiet little town of 2,000 people been so ablaze in glory as it was last night. W. J. Bryan, leader of the Democratic national cam paign, a native of the place, returned here. The whole town was ont to meet him. There were skyrockets and roman candles; red fire was burning all along the route by which Mr. Bryan was conducted to the home of his sister. He will remain for the next two days. It was not the wish of Mr. Bryan to have a celebration here at this time. But two short weeks ago he was called hetB to attend the deathbed of his mother. She was buried here by the side of Judge Bryau. who passed away 16 years ago. But the people in their enthusiasm and desire to honor the man who went away from here scarcely a score of years ago, unknown to fame, gave vent to their feelings. When the carriage reached the home of his sister, ' his former fellow townsmen wfte there by the hundreds. They cheered and shouted, while bauds played and anvils boomed. They demanded a speech aud Mr. Bryan acquiesced. As he stepped out upon the lit.le vine covered porch in front of the home of his sister in re-, spouse to the calls of his friends, he showed by the twitching of the muscles of his face and the huskiuess of his ' voice that he was deeply affected. He needed no introduction. Everyone knew him as he came forward aud the noise aud hubbub ceased. As soon as he could control his voice he spoke as follows: I Mr. Bryaa'a Addrea. I "Fellow eitizens: I don't know what to say more than to llmuk you. There , is no spot I think that can ever become so dear to a man as the spot about which .1m41a nv-iT am na-n j-iiI nil f novlv antljl u w ,. - "rfoiTrtT- ho 1 assure you I appreciate the, inenaiy inieresi wuicu you uuuuirat and more so because in this there is no party aud I see here my friends in all parties, persons of different political faith, as well as those who agree with the principles which I have advocated and I am deeply touched with this man ifestation of your esteem and confi dence. I wish I could have with me tonight the gentleman who occupies the place with me on the national ticket. I wish you could see and be come acquainted with Mr. Sewall, who is our candidate for vice president. If elected my fullest hope will be gratified. I have bnt one desire and that is to bring baok to our people oar govern ment as our fathers intended it, a gov ernment which shall be conducted on principles of equality before the law, which shall protect the rights of life and liberty. Which shall know no dif ference between the simplest citizen and the greatest citizen in the land, a government which shall be no respector of persons, but shall, like Heaven, treat all alike. That is the ideal government which I learned from my father and I, as a mau, can administer government on a Democratic theory that my father taught me. I believe that my conduct will meet with the ap proval of a great mass of the people who ask no privilege, but simply demaud ustice to ail. Let your ballots register free man's will, and then no matter o is elected, wo will be satisfied. I only say here, over and over again. that I am deeply gratified for this very cordial reception at the place of my birthand you will accept that uutil I can thank you personally for your con sideration." When he had ended his talk there was laud and enthusiastic applause. Then tip assembled citizens formed in line aloVg the walk in front of the house and beneath the huge trees aud Mr. Bry;ai passed along in front of them and icave each a hearty hand shake. Tharo were no other speeches. The people mired to their homes and Mr. Bryau aim his wife went to rest, weary aud warn from the excitement of the day. The Trli From Chicago.

He this, the town bought tickets for kimself and wife at the Illinois Centril depot, aud there was no special car trovided. The man upon whom the Democratic party thrust the greatest honor within its power rode in a Pullman coachou a regular train, and every passeugerpn board the train had access to the carjand nearly every one of them came back and shook hands with Mr. Bryau aud lis wife and ex pressed to them their good wishes and congratulations. Tie first stop after leaving Chicago ajs at Kankakee. Fully 1,000 citizen hed assembled aroand the depot atd were eagerly waiting for a chance toctM glimpse of the Democratic uomiiee. The State Insane Asylum band was playiug "The Star Spangled Banner" when the train pulled into the depot. .There was a general rush from all - fltda-"as everyone seems determined grasp the Democratic leadetfc hand. The train only stopped ire' minutes, but iu that time Mr. Bryan was a decidedly busy man. Just before the train started there were cries of "speech" from all parts of the crowd and some enthusiastic individ uals carried a huge dry goods box over the heads of the people upon which they intended to pace Mr. Bryan that he might talk to them all. But before he reached thin the conductor called "all aboard," iUQ the train pulled out, much to the disappointment of the assembled citizens. The little town of Paxton was the next stop and as Mr. Bryan alighted from the car a stalwart veteran with long gray hair and floving white beard pressed his way to the front and grasped the presidential candidate by the hand. "I knew it would come to this some day. Bill," he said iu gruff voice. "I knew your father before yon were born and I have watched you from the time yon used to lack np the dust in the streets of Salem with your bare feet. And I have always said yon wonld be a great man some day." The people at Rantonl were given bat three minutes in which to shake hands with the new leader of the Democratic party. The town only boasts of 1,000 inhabitants and at least two-thirds of them, men, women and children, were at the depot to gnet Mr. Bryan, and he was enthusiastically cheered. As Mr. Bryan boarded the train he turned about on the platform in response to loud calls for a speech. He raised both hands and instantly all was silence. "If yon will only vote next November as industriously as yon shout now. I will. be sore to be elected." The train moved away and the assembled citizens roared with delight Great Demonstration at Chantpaisa. Champaign gave the greatest demon stration of the trip. The streets were blocked with vehicles and people iu every direction from the depot. Thn military band and nearly every one of the thousands of people who had come to do honor to the Democratic nominee, carried a flag. A committee represent ing the citizens of Champaigu county and city were at the depot to meet the distinguished man from Nebraska. Mr. aud Mrs. Bryau were escorted to a temporary p:atform which had been erected on a fiatcar which stood on a side track. It was draped with bunting and flowers. There was an ovation of hand clapping and cheers when Mr. Bryan stepped to the front of the plat form. "Fellow citizens: I am not going to make a political speech this afternoon. I have just been talking some at Chi cago and I am kind of between speeches. I am glad to have nn occasion to talk to you for a while and I am gratified to see that so many people by their pres ence here have shown their interest in this campaign. In my judgment, it is the most important r.vv;)ign through which this" countiy i .t passed in a time of peace during our existence as a nation. No question can ever be settled until the people sit iu judgment on it. The politicians have tried to settle the money question. The financiers have tried to settle the money question, but it will not be settled until the great pro ducing masses of this country express their opinion, and from that opinion there is no appeal. Applause. You have the right not only to head an election, but io express your opinion on the money question and you have fhe same right by your ballot to protect your own interests and watch over the welfare of your family as that of any other person iu this broad laud. When this campaign is on, before the election arrives, there will be just one great question iu this country aud that is: ls this nation great enough to attend to its own business? Is this nation great enough to legislate for its own people?' If so, the people will demaud a financial policy based upon the Amer ican interes-, for the eating for Ameri can rights, regardless of the aid and consent of any other nation on the earth It this nation is not great enough to attend to its own business, the to what nation can we go w atiou q Do ith the expectation of aid? Do you know of any nation that is standing ready to help us? Is there any nation that sets np the plea that it cannot take care ot its own people? Is it left for the United States to humbly bow before the for eign nations aud beg them to do that for which this nation was instituted, to take care of the people of the United States? But I did not intend to make a speech. I bimply wuuted to thank you and to come out here aud express my gratitude to you ::nd to those like you who have conferred upon me this distinguished honor. I appreciate the honor aud appreciate the responsibility which that honor imposes. Whether I shall be elected or not depends not upon me, but upon the people." But here the time was upforthp train to leave and Mr. Bryan was hustled olf through the crowd which w:is loath to give way to him. Hundreds of people shook him by the hand as he came through the assemblage and promised him their support. Scramble for Souvenir. A short stop was made at Toona where half the town was out bent on seeing Mr. Bryau. The people were gratified, though the stop was only momentary. Then came Tuscola, the county seat of Douglas county. Atleast 2,000 people stood on the platform . snd around tho dppot. Colonel Win. Brin tou. United States district marshal for the southern district of Illinois, was there, and introduced Mr. Bryan and his wife to the crowd. As the people ceased to cheer, Mrs. Bryan who carried a large botniuet of sweet peas, began to scatter them over the heads of the throng. There was a scramble from all directions and every body wanted to get a souveneir. At Mattoou, the irowd was almost as large as that which assembled at Champaign. The streets were blockaded with vehicles and men and women aud all the buildings in the vicinity were decorated with flags in honor of the passing of Mr. Bryan. He made a short speech fron the rear platform of the train. Bryan Seut intent In South Dakota. Hckox, July 14.

A coroner's jury, after investigating the death of Wm. Hubble, whose body was found near here, brought in a verdict that tho man "came to his death by an un known cause." People here believe tho affair an accident, as the corpse was lying near the railroad track, with tho head crushed, aud think the story first sent out that a murder had been com mitted does the community an injustice. ENDEAVOR CONVENTION ENDS. Host SaccsMul Gathering In the History of the Organization. Washington, July 14. After one of the most successful and enthusiastic gatherings known in tho history of the organization the 15th international con vention of ChristianEudeavoH', which began last Thursday, came vo-atJo.se last night. The board of trustees at a meeting passed resolutions extending its heartiest thanks to the pity for its hos pitality and the individuals and com mittees participating in the work that has been brought to such a successful conclusion. Of the great choir of nearly 0,000 voice?, the trustees said: "Never was there such a choir so large, better trained or readier in varioas services." Referring to the sang services on the Capitol steps, the trustees said: "Who that heard can ever forget the wonder ful sound and scene." Notwithstanding the multitudinous services which have been held the at tendance at all of them has been of a gratifying character. Although the registration of delegates and visitors foots up only 20,062 the actual attend ance was considerably beyond that num ber. The presidents of the various state and provincial unions have, after a conference with tho trustees, issued a public statement expressing the convic tion that generally speaking the con duct of the Christian Endeavor move ment has been most wise aud iu obedi ence to manifest providential leading?. The statement expresses the opiuion that the recent council of the trustees of the united society aud presidents of the state and provincial unions in its wisdom gathered from a wide outlook and knowledge gleaned from an im mediate contact with tho problems of the different states aud provinces was a wise step in the progress of the move ment and that such a council might crofitablv be a nermanent fornr in I connection with succeeding conventions.

Calls on Them toTGet Together la a Second t National Convention aad Nominate Can ; dldatea For President aad Vice Preal- deat oa a New i LtUera Kevolt Against Free Silver. Chicago, July 14. The executive committee of the gold standard Demo crats of Illinois met in a protracted ses sion yesterday and prepared an address ' to the Democracy of the other states in the Union. It was the unanimous opin ion that a second national Democratic convention should be called to nominate r candidates for president and vice presi dent. The address is as follows: "To our fellow Democrats of other states: A national convention, cou veuad under the constituted authority of our party, has just closed its session in the city of Chicago. It entered uron its work by violating all party pre cedents iu the rejection of a distin guished Democrat as its temporary pre siding officer. It deprived a sovereign state of a voice in its deliberations by unseating delegates elected with all the regularity known to party organization. I It refused to indorse the honesty and fidelity of the present uational admin istration. It adopted a platform which favors the free and uulimited coinage of silver by tlua country aloue at the ratio of 16 to 1, and thereby it repudiated a time-honored Democratic principle, which demands the maintenance of a sound and stable national currency. Finally, to make it still more plain, that though so in name, it was not iu fact a Democratic convention, it nominated for president one who is not in his political convictions, aud has not al ways been even in his professions, a Democrat. This has made such a crisis both iu the national convention and in the Democratic party that sound money Democrats must at once decide what political action they will take for the protection of the honor of the nation, the prosperity of the people and the life and usefulness of the party. The sound money Democrats of Illinois nave fully maue up tneir minus that a new national Democratic convention should bo called for the earliest feasible date to nominate candidates for presi dent and vico president and to adopt a platform of Democratic principles; and they desire to state to their fellow Democrats of the other states their reasons as follows: Sound money Democrats owe it to the country to make it certain at ouce that their revolt against free silver is de termined aud will lv organized. The nomination of a new ticket is the logical course. Republicans cannot argue the sound money question to Democratic voters. Republican sinceri ty on that question is doubted by the mass of Democrats. The tariff question will be put to the front and insisted upon by Republican speakers aud the Republican papers as it has persistently been by Mr. McKinley himself. Demo crats will not listen to lessons on finance when accompanied by abuse of the Dem ocratic party. A convention will also preserve for the future the opportunities of the Demo cratic party. The sound money Demo crats iu the different states must either make it clear that they have no asso ciation with the Bryan party, or they must accept association aud entangle ment witljj it and all other state organi zations will, in the pnblic mind, be for it, that do not moke it absolutely clear that they are against it. Tho sound money Democrats are already suffici ently organized in this state to be able to meet their fellow Democrats in a new convention, and are anxious to coufcr with representatives of other states whenever a representative cou veution can be' brought about. Replies should be addressed to Charles A. Ew ing, chairman, Palmer house, Chicago. Iowa Republicans Anxious. Des Moines July 14. As the result of several consultations among the lead ing Republicans of the state, who are here iu advance of the convention, to morrow, it has been decided to inaugu rate the campaign as soon as possible after adjournment and push it with all vigor possible until election day. An especial effort will be made in regard to the congressional tickets. It is feared thai the silver movement especially, if it results iu a harmonious combination of Populists and silver Democrats, may jeopardize Republican success in some districts.

MERCY FOR RIDPATH'S SLAYERS. Goveraor Drake Commutes Their Sentences to Life Imprisonment, Des Moines, July 14. Governor Drake commuted the sentences of John Hammil and George Weems, who are under sentence to be hanged, to im prisonment for life. They shot and in stantly killed L. B. Ridpath, a con ductor ou the Chicago Great Western road, in May, 1894. They were high waymen and had set out to hold up the first man who came along. Ridpath resisted and one of them shot him dead. They were caught after several days and one of them confessed.

Omaha Florists aad Vadartakers Taxed ta Their Limit. Omaha, July 14. The funeral services over the remains of seven of the victims of the Logan wreck occurred today and were largely attended, as most of the people killed were pioneer residents of the city and well and favorably known. Undertakers and liverymen have been taxed to their limit for facilities, and at one time it seemed that it would be necessary to apply to Council Bluffs for assistance. The florists, too, have been busy, and the number of orders placed for tributes of respect and love is almost beyond the supply at hand. Ta Plead For Hoover Life. Lincoln, July 14.

"Anticipating that their bill would flood the country with sheddythey (tho Democrats in congress) wero careful to 'snake' that odious word entirely out of the new law." This, from tiie New York Press, is hardly accurate. Tho word shoddy does appear in section 279 of the Gorman tariff, where Use tariff is reduced to a 20 per cent ad valorem rate from tho spe cific duty of 30 cents per pound that ex- SHODDY (Rojs, Noils, and Ulasle) Produced in Foreign CouMTie, cuWcrkdedintl UniteAStfties Fiscal Bears EndtBj Jasc 30 fW 1895 Gorman F5SS& -Wh'i'.liimhods- 1- "KOtl.&S'jl IttniUuafcssis- -10 million Poaaia- 8 ltfiU'sn'fcKJi' 1 -6 JtlillitrtPwnds- flb'ttiiatPwitds- 2Wiiiian ftands- -35ftiij -Zero- ShodfjCkAWnbttUr Um ami . husTojankan uVsTaiwJ.UUffttBaJj.N; isted under the McKinley law. This was equivalent to an average ad valorem rata of 02 per cent, so that the reduction made in the rate cf duty by the free traders was 71.43 per cent. Now as to the "snaking." This has been done by tho bureau of statistics of the treasury depaitment. Under the Mc Kinley law all cf these adulterants were classified together aa shoddy, noils. Waste, rags, mungo, flock, etc. For pur poses cf comparison it is necessary to use the same classification, although under the Gorman law they are returned under different heads, some free and sorno dutiable. The total showing is a bad one for the free trade tariff, law. But we dou't intend to allow them to escape from the responsibility of having made a law which admits free of duty, as in the cose of rags, or of. such a tri fling duty as that upon shoddy. The fact remains that the imports of all of these wool adulterants have in creased in one single year of the new law over 16,000,000 pounds above the imports of the same articles during the whole four years of the McKinley law, and as they were once scoured wool. worked over and over until they had lost the length and strength of fiber and durability of pure new wool, they are still as clean as scoured wool, though thoroughly rotten. The increase in these importations during the first year of the new law has been so great as to exceed the entire yield of bcoured wool pro duced in tho annual clip of our two largest wool growing states of Califor nia and Texas. But the free traders sometimes object to comparison.-! being made with 1894, so let us look back to 1893. And as they have "snaked" the word shoddy from their fctatistice wo will accommodate them by using their own term rags. Here are the imports of rags for the two fiscal years ending June 30, 1893 and 1803: IJIPOKTS OF rOREIG.V RAGS TO BE XAXCTAC TCKED INTO CLOTH INU FOB AMKBICAK lUBr, VTOJtKX AX1 CHIMREX.

INDUSTRIES THAT PROSPER. Lines of Basines That Are Improved by Democratic Poverty. There are two industries iu the United States that are dW prospering name ly, the manufacture of sewing machines and of paper bags. While this is satis factory to thoe whose capital is em ployed therein, and to those who are thereby enabled to secure work, it is doubtful whether it will be appreciated by the majority of the wage earners of the country. One of the largest manufacturers of sewing machines in the United States has informed m that his works were never so busy as they have been for some mouths past. He has received large orders for sewing machines which tire to be used in the manufacture of wear ing apparel aud other goods that have formerly been made by baud. But the influx of cheap foreign goods has com pelled these manufacturers to use sew ing machines rather than hand labor in order to meet the competition. The re sult of course will bo more idle labor, due, directly, to the abolition of our protective tariff. In the other case, the manufacture cf paper bags, the demand is reported to as aa being simply unprecedented. Nat urally this would suggest a much larger volume of retail trade transactions. So it does, but only in smaller lines and smaller quantities. The demand now is lor the smallest sized bags that are made, and the manufacturer ascertained the reason for this. It appears that tho masses of wage earner.? and the poorer classes of our communities are buying smaller quantities of the necessaries of life than they used to da Instead of five pounds of sugar being purchased at a time, the order is given for only one pound. Instead of selling a pound of tea the retailer sells only a quarter of r. pound package. The Democratic "pros perity" has enforced the most rigid economy among buyers, and every dollar earned has to be husbanded to the ut most. Tho -Kehoko.

The recent enormous advance made in the industrial development of Japan, and which is now spreading to China, has demonstrated to reflecting men who have given the subject thoughtful con sideration that u protective tariff will no longer alone successfully guard our manufacturers and wage earners from the stream of cheap manufactured prod ucts which has begun to flow from those countries to our shores, and which is at last exciting the serious alarm of great numbers of our citizens engaged in the manufacturing industries.
