The convention of shoe manufactur ers which met in Philadelphia this week recommended an immediate ad vance in the price of shoes, and declared that a still further advance would be necessary as a" result of the increased price of materials. The manufacturers see that the ad vance proposed is necessary to protect them from actual loss. Thev deny that they intend to form a trust or to fix prices arbitrarily, but they insist that a co-operative movement to raise the prices of their product is necessary for tt eir protection since the cost of every thing that goes into shoes has advanced. The chairman of the convention said: "We have now before us the consoli dation of all the machinery firms, in other words, a truBt. This does not mean any particular good for us as manufacturers. They are reaching out more and more every day like an octopus, with its mighty army endeav oring to hold us more firmly and to exact more conditions from us." The advance in the price of shoes is to be from 10 to 25centa a pair. This does lot seem unreasonable when we consider that leather and findings have advanced from 45 to 50 per cent. Here we get one of numerous bless ings that the Dingley traiff showers upon us. Hides were on the free list under the tariffs of 1883, 1890, and 1894. A duty of 15 per cent, was imposed on them by the Dingley tariff of -1897, against the protest of the entire shoe industry of the country. With free hides shoes manufacturers were enabled to completely control the home market, but the imposition of a duty on the raw. material increases the cost of manufacture and ultimately the duty must be borne by the consumer. Hot hides came to be taxed is well known. The cattle trust which con trols the hide product of this country, and which desired a bounty on its al ready profitable business, concluded that the chances of Republican success in 1896 were good enough to justify an immense contribution to the campaign fund of that party. Accordingly the cattle trust poured out its barrel for the purchase of votes for McKinley and the payment of other campaign ex penses. It s upplied the Republican candidates for congress with boodle and had much to do with the election of a Republican house of representa tives. Republican politicians are too honorable to forget an obligation of this character, and when they came to fix up the Dingley tariff they gave the cittle trust what it asked.

At the very beginning of his talk Senator Tillman pitched into the white-cappers who have been terrorizing a portion 01 inia county fcr the last ten davs and whipping in offensive negroes.

These Mormons are a mystery to me 3,000 miles from home they are raising a commotion among our people and I don't understand what they are after. Are they really missionaries sent out from Utah to propagate their religion, or are they religious tramps who find this an easy way to live. They compass sea and land to make a single prostlyte and remind us of the far reachicg zeal of the Jesuits of the six teenth century. The Jesuits went to the heathen of all countries who had not heard of Jesus, but these Mormons go to the Protestants in enlightened Christendom and seek covertlv to undermine their faith. They work upon the weak minded and fanatical md only make converts by destroying the peace of the family. No wonder that the good people of the communi ties drive them out and maltreat them. I have no respect for proselyters in a Christian land who would seek to draw their converts from one Christian church to another and sow discord in a family. I was ruminating about this Mor? monism, which is another child born of New England fanaticism, where all the devilish things originate. It is close akin to the doctrine of free love. that originated there half a centurv ago, and is now pretty generally, ac cepted. If a man doesn't find his affinity when he marries he finds her afterwards, and they keep on swapping around. Joe Smith came from there and one day pretended to find a Bible under a big stone. It was placed there by an angel and had golden leaves, and he was told to read it for it was the last will of God and he must preach it to the people. He copied the writing and was going to sell the gold, but the angel rebuked him and took the golden leaves away. Well, that man found fools enough to start a new departure in religion and because the good people at home made fun of him, he and his followers moved to Pennsylvania, where he had more visions and the angel gave him a pair of magic spectacles and a Urim and Thummim, and talked to him behind a curtain, and John the Baptist visited him and gave him the Holy Ghost and the gift of prophecy and supernatural powers. From there he and bis followers went to Palmyra, N. Y., and had the "Book of Mormon" printed, and organized a church with thirty members, and Smith cast a devil out of a man named Knight. But Palmyra got too hot for them and they moved to Kirlland, Ohio, because the angel said so. But Kirt land got too warm for them and thev moved to Missouri and founded the city of Zion. Not long after he went back to Kirtland on a visit and they tarred and feathered him, but his per secution gave him strength and follow ers and they built a church there and called themselves the Latter Day Saints, and Btarted a bank and flooded the country with wildcat money in. the name of the Lord. The leaders were arrested and indicted for murder, trea son, burglary, arson and larceny, but were allowed to escape from jail ana leave Kirtland with their families. From there tbey went to Illinois, guided by an angel, and founded the city of Nauvoo. There tney duiu an other church and sent missionaries to England to make converts, and they made them. Nauvoo grew up rapidly and the Saints soon numbered 1,500 men and elected Smith mayor and lieutenant general. In 1842 he was at the very height of hi3 prosperity ana took a hand in politics. In 1843 he had another revelation from the angel and was advised kftake some spiritual wives. Accordingly he took two mar ried women, the wives of Dr. Foster and William Law, two of his chief sup porters. , Of course, this raised a rumpus and Foster and Law started a newspaper against him and published the affidavits of sixteen women, who charged Smith and his head man, Rigdon, with impurity and immorality. Smith then destroyed the p ess and Foster and Law had to fly for their lives. They appealed to tne courts and had warrants issued for him and Rigdon and seventeen others. They were arrested and put in jail. The governor visited them and promised protection to tliem, H uiey ana tneir families would leave the country, but the people were so exasperated with them they went that night to the jail and broke down the doors and shot Smith and his brother to death. What kind of a story is that to found the Mormon religion upon? And yet these Mormon elders have .the cheek to travel through this southern land to propagate their spurious faith among our people. But Smith's wife and his son Joe never did accept the revelation as to spiritual wives, and the son reorganized Mormonisn at Piano, 111., where he publishes The True Saints' Herald, and is in all that region the acknowl edged head of the Sints of the true Mormon church. The polygamists were all expelled, after suffering by whipping and house burning and other penalties by mob violence. They mnvd in scattered bands to Utah and chose Brigham Young as their leader. He was a zealous advocate of poly- cam v and showed his faith by his works, for when he died in 1877 he left seventeen wives, sixteen sons and twpntv-eieht daughters that heacknowl edged besides a number of others who acknowledged him. But these Mormons who are sojourn ing in our land declare that polygamy is now abolished and that they are not proselyting to that faith, though it was .... m at 1 J Ta nU a nsl the faith oi Apranara nu nu n vid and Solomon. Well, our peo ple don't want such men fooling around theii families and demoralizing weak men and weaker women in every community. A moderate chastisement would have a sanitary influence on all such tramps. Fanatics and tramps have their nur ;r - Ene,an(j. Wesee that the old re- i o. "Wnwh Elba and are to be -kwl with honors, and that Mc Kinlev was invited. That shows the animus of that people. They still make a demigod of that old fool John 'BE JUST .AJfcTTD ZF-ZE-AJES NOT.' Concord, N. c., Thursday, August 24, Brown, whom Giddings and Beeeher ana Orarrison made a cat s-paw of to incite the slaves of Virginia to insur rection and to provoke them to murder and arson and rape. . They furnished him with $500 in gold and all the rifles and ammunition he wanted, and so he took up hia residence bear Harper's Ferry and for two years lived there and planned his bloody and treaosnable Bcheme. Fred Douglas visited ' him there and advised him to await for the fruit was not ripe. But the old fanatic believed the Lord was with him and wouldn't wait any longer, and so one dark night he and his little band of twenty-two deluded followers surprised and overpowered the guards and took the arsenal and then calmly awaited the uprising of the negroes. But the negroes would not rise. Most of them were attached to their -masters and their families and would not join the; traitors. They soon came to grief. John Brown was wounded, his son was killed and most of his followers. For forty long years the graves of seven of them have been unmolested, but John Brown's son, they say, keeps marching on and so it does seem to, with the second and third generations of those who have hated us so long and so bitterly. They sent Brown to Kan sas during the dark and bloody days and there he'and his followers, among other outrages, called five leading southerners from their beds one dark night and assassinated them. Brown said it was God's will. For twelve years he never lost sight of his chief. aim, which was to start an insurrection in Virginia and let it spread all over the south, until every slave-holder was murdered. And this is what the north made a martyr and a demigod of him for. Our own Robert E. Lee, a . United States army officer, officiated at . his capture and trial. Jefferson Davis and John M. Mason, of the United States senate, were appointed a committee to make report upon the invasion and de clared it of no significance except as showing t .e animus of the north toward the south. A friend writes me who wishes to know where he can get a true history of John Brown and his Virginia raid and execution. No where? No southern man has written his history. Three have been written from a northern standpoint by enemies of the south. 1 The fairest account will be found in "Appleton's Biographical Encyclope dia," but even this one, .which was written by Higginson, is tainted with the! same old animus that justifies everything an abolitionist ever did against the south. It does look like that forty years of time and the freedom of the negroes ought to have mollified our enemies and retireold John Brown and his followers into oblivion, but it has not, and now they are transferring their bones to a more congenial soil ana will have grana ceremonico or" their burial. McKinley has been invited, and as two of the seven were negroes, 1 reckon he will go. Maybe the devil has got them keeping postoflice somewhere in Hades. Bill Arp. Smya Slit Saw Heaven. Wheeling, W. Va., Aug. 16. Mrs. Alexander Taylor, a widow, 35 yeare old, of Toronto, near here, has been slowly dying of consumption for some time past. Yesterday morning she be came unconscious. A doctor was called and pronounced her dead, and funeral preparations were begun. About midnight her friends were as tounded to see Mrs. Taylor move, open her eyes and ask for water. She asked that a favorite niece, who lives in Iowa, be summoned at once to receive a mes sage from her mother, who has been dead several years. Mrs. Taylor says her spirit was disem bodied and soared through space till brilliant and beautiful '. grove was retched. Here angels were flying about, guarding what seemed the en trance to heaven. She was refused ad mittance, but was allowed to converse at a short distance with her husband, who died last winter, and with her sister the mother of the favorite niece. The message sent for the niece she refuses to disclose, except to the young woman. Mrs. Taylor eays she was promised that she should come to paradise very soon. Mrs. Taylor is an educated, sincere, Christian woman, and is in ecstasy over the belief that she will soon join her friends one before. The niece has been telegraphed for. Airs. Taylor cannot live more than a few days, it ie thought. Died as He Deserved to Die. A aiwia.1 from Winchester.

New York Sun, Uth. The Rev. Dr. Len E. Broughton of Atlanta, Ga., who has recently awak ened opposition in the South by his denunciation of lynchings and those concerned in them, occupied the pul pit of the Hanson Place Baptist Church, Brooklyn, yesterday. In the evening his sermon was on "Christian Citizen ship, or Common Sense Religion," and dealt largely with the race problem. He said the greatest enemy of the colored man is politics and that the one thing needed in the South above all" others is the elimination of the colored man as a political factor. When that is done, he asserted, the race question will be solved. This was" Dr. Broughton's text: "Whether, therefore, ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory or God." "Objections come from the social world when you try to apply the apostolic principle. Society people know that it is just as wrong to play a game of progressive euchre for apprize as it is for two colored men to 'throw craps in a back alley. But the objec tions from the politicial world will be the loudest of all. The ' politician understands that when men accept that command of St. Paul's he is going to be out of a job quick. As far as I know there is not a political boss in this country who would not have to give up his job in such an event, and go to the foot of the ranks. They are nothing but a set of stupendous frauds and they are going to keep preachers and church people away from this prin ciple as long as they can. But the trouble is that we have allowed all these people to object until they have objected us off our platform." The devil's got the world and lots of us Christian people and preachers too." The preacher said in regard- to the Philippine question: "What are we going to do with the islands? So far as I can I'm going to hold on to the n. I think that the man or the party that goes over there in the next political campaign and tries to pull down Old Glory is going to be the most helpless imbecile in the world, and the man or the party that does it will be crushed into nothing by the nation's ballot. And yet I think the Filipinos have got a joke on us and on the men who are over there fighting them. The Filipinos can say 'you're trying to civilize us, and yet we have'nt burned anybody at the stake in a long time. You're trying to teach us how to behave when the people of your North and West are blowing each other up with dynamite and destroying property in labor troubles. Why don't you begin at home?" And they are right, if they do say this. 'Recently in the South there has (wen a. greal dual xf trouble Caused by- disregard of law. There , have beeu many lynchmg3, which I regret very much. I have done everything I could do to suppress that thing in the South, and'with the Lord's help. I have done some good. I am going to do some more. Yet there is much to be done, and how shall we go about it? I know we 11 never solve these problems by the political route, which is the route; of prejudice." The best people in our community are not in sympathy with lynching. They believe in upholding the law. The best among the blacks are trying to prevent it. It is only the low-down, immoral element that keeps the thing alive. The trouble is that we allow such things to go on without trying to arrest the men who do it. What is needed is real men in official positions, from Governor down. I don't claim to be very brave or have much nerve. but put me in the Governor's chair and I'd stop this lynching in short order. "We can stop lynching and we can stop mob law, but the question is, how can we overcome the gross immorality in the colored people which is the cause of lynching. More than seventy five per cent of the crime in the South is committed by negrees. They may not be to blame, but the fact remains. We are trying to lift them up by churches and school, and in this work the North has helped wonderfully. But still the progress is mighty slow. "1 believe that the root of the trouble lies in politics the greatest enemy of the colored man. He has no con science; he is absolutely for sale. When you consider this it is easy to see why it is hard to get moral measures passed. The mean, low-lived white politicians array the colored man against his brother. This enrages the whites. The colored man doesn t un derstand ttie motive which actuates the man who claims to be his friend. And he is thus led to do things that other wise he would not think of. Much of the awful crime of the South is directly or indirectly the outcome of political feuds. "I believe that it was a great mis take on the part of the Government to put the full right of suffrage in the hands of the uneducated negro and the one thing we need now in the South is the elimination of the colored man as a political factor. ' "The colored men in South Carolina are the happiest and most contented in the South today. Not a colored man votes in that State. There used to be lynchings and disorder there, but that ceased when the negroes were practi cally disfranchised. After this elim ination we should go on training, and when the black man's moral percep tions are awakened he should be given the ballot again. If we cannot have what I have outlined I am at least in favor of an educational qualification for voting." BackleiTs Arnica Salve.

I was nearine Kansas City en route back from California, when I finished up my last week's letter to The Journal. Since that date I have taken in chatauquaB in Kansas, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Virginia. It is uni veraaly true that all the chautauquas are more largely attended this year than any year in their history, and at most points they are beautifying the grounds. Some are building magnificent, audito riums, etc. Evidently the Chautauqua has come to stay. r rom Kansas to Pennsylvania I have never seen such a corn crop on the ground. The United States will gather a record breaking crop of corn this fall, and corn will sell again in the west at 10 and 12 cents a bushel, and I suppose the south will produce another ten or eleven million bale crop of cotton, and this over production will bring down prices, and then the sixteen to oners will get in their work in good shape next fall. The monumental crime of '73 will come in full force again. Corn and cotton will be down and iron, wool and manufactured products will be up, out of sight. I don't know how the silyer loons will reconcile the ups and downs of things. But I suppose the the famine in India and the foreign de mand theory will reconcile things as well as elucidate them for the dear voters. I am watching the procession in Illi nois, Nev York, Maryland and Ken tucky. They are getting things mixed already, but it looks how that Bryan will have a walk over for the nomina tion and a walk under in the race. If perchance McKinley should become un available, by reason of the Philippine war and the mistakes of hi? administra tion, then the Republican party will trot out Roosevelt. Teddy and Bryan would run like Beared wolves, one on one side, and one on the other. Teddy stauding for imperialism and-, paternal ism and Bryan standing for free silver and free everything else in sight. But there is no doubt that this coun try is getting tired of this war, and if McKinley don't lick the Filipiuos be fore congress meets, I would not be surprised if congress calls off the fight in some way. Of course politics will cut a bigger sway than patriotism in the future as it has in the past with this useleba and I would to Uod I could say bloodless war. Colonel Bob Ingersoll is dead, but not forgotten. They still orate over his ashes. Chicago was the scene of a memorial service last Sunday, and my, how they orated over his ashes. Did you reaa the speeches ? They sounded I like Bob himself was on hand round periods, alliteration, rhetoric, syntax, etc. I would do no living mau an in- I justice if I knew it, and I am sure I would not wrong the dead, but after reading the glowing tributes and geuer- Uinpiime oC Jnfjarojrtll s a. hll rtia.il- j ltarian, a philanthropist and temperance advocate, I asked myself and ask his admirers, where is the orphanage he ever endowed, or hosipital he ever built, or drunkard he ever reformed, or the prodigal he eyer brought back to decen cy and to manhood ? Mr. Iugersoll first doubted, . then de nied, then deuounced; all these things are easily done under the supervision of the devil. However, Mr. Ineereoll fought creeds rather than Christ, churches rather than Christianity. But as for myself I ana sticking to the old Bible and the Christian religion, and I am going to stick on, until some man greater than Ingersoll, with . some reasons better than his, and who shall give me something better in the place of these things than Mr. Ingersoll had to offer. I spent anf hour this morning going through the Anglo-Swiss coudensed milk factory, and I shall ever ever have better opinion of condensed milk. They use the milk of ten thousand cows daily in this great factory. They work 300 hands and use the most per fect maqhinery, and the building is as neat as a pin from. kottom to top. lhe process by which condensed milk is manufactured from fresh milk as it is taken from the cows, cream and all is simple, and yet the process employs a vast array of machinery. Here tney make the cans, the boxes in which they ship the goods, etc. , etc.. and as one stands and watches these machines at work, it looks like a thing must have brains to do such work. This company, Page Bros., owns condensed milk fac tories in Switerland, England, New York and here in Dixon. This town 100 miles west of Chicago, has 10,000 population, with its merchant, mills, three shoe factories, condensed milk factory, etc. The Chautauqua is in a beautiful park in the edge of the city, and the attendance to-day is estimated at ten thousand. Talmage was on the program this year but did not come to his date here last week. He cancelled all nis summer dates, I learn. He was to have been at the Miami Valley Chautauqua, but wired that he would not be able to come and the president of the chautauqua took the train that night and want to New York.

THE noDERS menace; to the HOME. Charlotte Observer. The Mazet committee is still ferretting out badness in the bad portions of New York city. One of its detectives spent a night in the Tenderloin recently, with his pockets full of spurious money. He was robbed with lavish prodigality by the bad women of that section who thrust their viciousness into his face on tbe streets. He complained to the pol ice of that district, and they located the female thieves, but quarelled with them as to who should have the stolen money, themselves or the robbers, the despoiled victim evidently being supposed to be dead. Such robberies are of constant occurence, the police evidently being in collusion with vice to an appalling, ex tent, and they are protected in that col lusion by the municipal administration. Indeed, the supposed "guardians of the law" are passing the point of merely winking at vice. They are becoming active criminals themselves. One of "the finest" recently held up a. street car in the American metropolis and robbed everybody on it worth robbing. Profligate women from all parts of the country are pouring into the city, be cause the town is "wide-open," and one of the Mazet detectives fpund, 30 posts unpatrolled by policemen in the worst part of the city. Such is disre Bpectable, disreputable vice in New York. Our attention is called to vice in somewhat less disgusting form and brazen openness by the Washington correspondence of The New York Sun, which states that the United States Postoflice Department is considering Tbe New York Herald's "personal" ad vertisements, as to whether they are fit matter to be allowed in the mail or not. These "personals" are barely cloaked with ingenious wording. Their evi dent impure intents, and purposes, are apparent to all but the absolutely guile less. The York Sun hates Mr. James Gordon Bennett, proprietor of The Her ald, nd hence it is iust now making a noise about his paper's "personal" ads. It calls attention to the fact that the wealthy editor of The Chicago Dispatch, Joseph R. Dunlop, who printed "per sonal" advertisements of a similar na ture to The Herald's was tried for the offence in the Federal Court, found guilty and sentenced totwo years in Jol iet penitentiary, in spite of all that money and lawyers could do to prevent the law's decree. The punishment af ter all wae a mild one. But the fact of the publication of these personal" columns in the city's yellow papers shows the existence of vice to a very great extent, yet not so flagrant as in the Tenderloin. And yet this is not all.- The "four hundred," with their creme de-la creme excluBiveness, are far from being im maculate, and brown-stone . fronts on Fifth avenue are sometimes nay, often the haunts of vice. iewel-hadArkeri. satin-clad, "swell,'' elite yice, but vice all the same. The millionaires of the great city tire of a wife very quickly, the courts grant divorces on the very slightest provocation, and glittering millions do not have to hunt for wife No. 2. These exclusive, soap-scented, millionaires, alleged aristocrats, depose one wife and take up a neighbor's wife so suddenly sometimes . that it almost amounts to a swap. The Norfolk Land mark used an apt term the other day, when it referred to the state of New York society as being truly "Neronian." And so in the tenement, in tbe flat and in the brown-stone front of New York the vice of impurity is sapping the foundation of the home, which is the basis of a pure Church and an up-, right State. Other great cities like Chi cago and San Francisco are no better than New York. There are thousands of good people who cry out against this state of society, but the truth remains that, with the highest development of art, with astounding strides in science and invention, at the high tide of the planet s progress, we are swinging into the Twentieth Century, permitting, and often nursing and caressing, the sin, which, in its most frightful development and culmination,' called down fire from heaven upon the cities of the plain. Pointed Paragraphs. A lawsuit is the proper court dress for an attorney. The picture of health is often a gen uine work of art. Curiosity has a peculiar way of get ting the better of discretion. He who rules with a rod of iron should select a malleable one. Tbe dog who chases bis own tail tries his best to make both ends meet. The man whose mind is not made should never air his opinions in public. A bachelor always feels sorry for a pretty girl who marries some other man. When a man of mature years ac quires the cigarette habit it is easy to see his finish. Possibly the world may owe every man a living, but it bas too many pre ferred creditors. Noah was evident in the picking bust ness at least he filled the ark with pre served pairs. A Small Favor Asked.
