OCTOBER 4 , 1800. EAU CM.AmK. Wit , Oct -Special ( Cor respondent of The HOP- ) Those who have recently vlMtcd the lumber districts of Wis consin and Mlnncnota , especially thosp cen tering nround l nil Claire anil Dnluth , will have a Veen realisation of the effects both nf adverse tariff legislation and of financial Olsturltance. Within seventy-five miles of Kail Claire there arc 10,030 men In the lum ber trade out of work. If MfcKlnley Is not fclcctod theic will be 75,000 men out of work in the lumber districts ot these two states Almost every sawmill closes down this month. Said Mr. Rust of the Itust and Owen Lumber company "If Hryan Is elected our firm will not put In a log next jcar. " Another firm In the IJultith region , which had contracted for 10,000,000 to fiO- 000,000 feel of lumber , has cut down to 20- 000,000 , and unless MtKlnley Is elected it ivill probably go below 15,009 000 feet Firms that In 1832 shipped nearly 3,000,000 01 4,000,000 feet per month have this > ear re duced their output to below 1.000,000 feet The streets of Hail Claire and of nearly all the lumber villages are lined with Idle men , and the crowd will bo Increased by the end of Iho month Dy October Ifi the most scrl ous condition of affairs ever known will exist thioughout the lumber legions of Wis consin and .Minnesota In Superior City all lumber mills are shut down. Wbllo American workmen aie Idle and their families starving the Wilson-Gorman law admits lumber from Canada duty free. An object lesson of this nort may be seen In the brldgo to bo constructed between Duluth ami West Superior. This bridge Is lialf a mlle long , and will require for its construction nearly , ' 1.000.000 feet of lumber. It is being built of Canadian lumber , which can be shipped thanks to Mr Bonn's free trade policy , at less than the inuiket price nt Pnluth. With such an object lesson showlnf , tin- tariff raidcis' work on the borders and in ( lie lumber district itself , is It a matter of surpiibo that Canadian lumber is displacing American lumber in other markets' Alieadj , as will be shown , $8,000,000 per annum is taken from the American lumbetmen , and wo get nothing from Canada In rotuin for It. CANADIAN LUMIinil. excluding wood pulp , 1,000,000.000 feet of lumber came Into this country during the fiscal } ear ending Juno SO , 1S3C Ihe Im portations of the previous jear were about that amount The aggregate value of this lumber was about $10,000000 It displaced Amoilcan lumber to that extent , and there fore took from American labor the wages which would otherwise have been paid for I cutting ami manufacturing 1.000,000,000 feet ! of lumber What this would have amounted 1 to every Intelligent lumberman can cipher out for himself. ( Trco tiado and free silver have Indeed plajed havoc with the lumber trade Here ) | Is a parallel which goes to show how deadly is the effect of the free trade experiment and TIIUTII I > .ILSTiriCATIOV.

PRODUCTION CURTAILHD. A meeting of the bo rd ot directors of the Mississippi Valley Lumbermen's association was held In Jllnneipolls last August In formation was at hand showing that o\vlng to the unsatisfactory condition of the mar ket , and a largo overstipply of lumber , the mills would shut down much earlier thin usual In fact , many had already closed This will curtail the cut for the jear nt least 25 per cent of the cut ot IS'H H was also shown that the surplus stocks were largely nt Lake Superior points Official re ports showed that for the yeir ending July 1 , 1,000000000 feet ot logs anil lumber had been Imported from Canada. This Is an Increase of 500,000000 feet over the Impoits during the preceding jear , before the pres ent tariff law had gone Into effect , and the duty on Canadian lumber been removed This last amount Is approximate ! ) the amount ot surplus lumber In the hands of the manufacture-is and which has necessi tated the early closing , and vhlch has do- pilved the American laborers of the steady employment , which would hao been theirs had the tariff remained as before. The members of the board of directors , after citing the above facts , uiesentcd a resolution , which ended as fellows "Your board believes that this rendition Is prlmarllj due to the removal of the tariff on lumber aggravated b ) the present piast- billtj of the free colnigo of silver and the complete overthrow of our financial B > stom. We believe , therefore without regard to party that all honorable means should bo adopted to Impress the far.t that the ques tions now before , the American people are not questions of partj , but ot business , and that the future wclfaie of the nitlon the prosperity of the countrj , and the lesump- tlon of the work of all manufacturing In stitutions and particularly the mills of the maker of white pine lumber is dependent upon the endorsement ot a protective policj and espcclillj of the gold stindird. the standard of al great commercial nations of the world We therefore suggest tint the assurance bo given our emtilojes that we have accepted the conditions which have been forced upon us even mote willingly than will our men now leave the positions which they have been filling , and which un der normal conditions would have been op < n to thorn until late In the fall and that but for these conditions there would ha1 o been Insured to that largo class of our emplojes wlv > find stc.ulv and remunerative employ ment during evcrj n Inter in the woods the full quota of work. It must now be evident to them that it is Impossible for us to give them the emulojment which Is naturally theirs. In our opinion It will not be possi ble so long as the financial Institutions ate menaced by nn unstable money and our LOADING LOGS IN THE WISCONSIN WOODS maikets are Invaded by the products cf othci countries because of an Insulllclent piotectlvo tirlff , a tariff which nclthei protects the American laborer nor produces a revenue , sufficient to raj the running expenses of the general Kover.iment.

The rift In the party was n wide one , especially In the stnto of Now York , and Garfleltl , who had been the lieutenant of Mr. Sherman , was perhaps not unreasonably accused of having fostered the schism. In the Interest of the candidate whose place ho cauic to occupy The feeling ngnlnst him on the part of the "Stalwarts , " as the followers of Grant wore called , was very deep , and their Im precations , If not loud , were bitter. It was ( . specially with the view of overcoming this antipathy , which , If not placaS.'d , It was thought b > some might endanger his elec tion. that General Garfleld , some few weeks after his nomination , came to New York , and for several dajs occupied quarters at the Fifth Avcnuo hotel. Some of the things that occurred there nt this time were widely and hotlj discussed during the factional tight that followed , and have passed Into party history Ono Incident , however , which came within mj personal know ledge , has never , so far .is I am aware , been given publicity.
