BY WIIiIAd M. tsalUf ARD ILMINUTUfil. H. O. Widkxsdjly Moairara. August 6. THE IOWA PLATFORM. The New York Sun is bo friendly to the trusts that it might be called an organ of the trusts, not an excuse finder, or apologist, but a defender. It therefore takes, no stock in the re cently developed opposition, or pre tended opposition, to trusts by Re publican politicians and never fails - to make some remarks when a Re publican convention takes a whack at them. In writing yesterday of the tariff and trust planks in the Iowa Repub lican platform adopted in the late State convention, we asserted that it was a practical admission of the Democratic contention that the higb tariff fosters and stimulates trusts. But it was more than that; it was a practical endorsement of that contention. The Sun being now an orthodox Republican paper, and a very zealous and vigorous one, will not be suspected of misrepre senting its Republican friends, or of trying to put them in a false posi tion by showing how they are climb ing over the fence and getting upon Democratic ground. It shows this up pretty clearly as to the Republicans of Iowa, and other States where they have proclaimed themselves in favor of tariff revision and trust curbing, when, in discussing the Iowa plat form, it says: About a fortnight before the ad journment of Congress there was in troduced in the House and referred to the Committee on Ways and Means a trust-tariff bill which seems to respond pretty nearly to the suggestion con tained in the Iowa Republican plat form. This is House bill No. 15,109. It puts on the free list all articles and commodities manufactured and eon trolled or produced in the United States by a trust or trusts, and re duces the rate of duty on any article or commodity manufactured in the United States and sold in a foreign country more cheaply than in the United State. In order that there may be no doubt of the pertinence of this measure we give its text in full: "Be it enacted, &c, That when it is shown to the satisfaction of the Presi dent and Secretary of the Treasury that articles and commodities are man ufactured and controlled or produced in the United States by a trustor trusts, the importation of such articles and commodities from foreign coun tries shall be free of duty until, in the opinion of the President and Secretary of the Treasury, such man ufacture, control or production shall have ceased. "Section 2. That when it is shown to the satisfaction of the President and Secretary of the Treasury that any ar ticle or commodity which is manufac tured in the United States is sold in a foreign country more cheaply than the price at which the same article or commodity is sold in the United States, the rate of duty on such arti cles or commodity shall be reduced by the President and Secretary of the Treasury fifty per centum of the pres ent.rate, or to such an extent as to prevent the continuance of such ir regularity and injustice, and remove . the indirect tariff bounty which pro motes the same." This is quite in line with the Des j Moines resolution favoring "any mod- ; ifieation of the tariff schdules that may be required to prevent their affording shelter to monopoly." The bill was prepared and introduced with that avowed purpose. A careful examination of the record however, fails to discover the name of any Republican Congressman from Iowa as author of this House bill No. 15,109. It was not introduced by Mr. Hedge. Mr. Bam pie did not frame it Mr. Haugen and Mr. Cousins were not consulted. Mr. Lacy had nothing to do with it. Mr. Hull will plead not guilty. Mr. Hepburn can prove an alibi. There is no evidence connect ing it in the remotest manner with the legislative activity of Mr. Walter L Smith, Mr. Jas. Perry Connor or Mr. Thomas. It came from no member of the solidly Republican Iowa delega tion in the House; and Jt certainly did not proceed from the Initiative of either Senator Allison or Senator Jonathan Prentiss Dolliver. If the truth must be told, this trust tariff bill, which seems to be the prac ticsl legislative twin of the theoretical suggestion advanced by the Iowa Re publicanf, was conceived and proposed by no other person than the Hon. James D. Richardson, of Tennessee, the leader of the Democratic minority; and so far as Democratic opinion can be said to be formed and established on any subject, this measure repre sents that form and that establish ment. The Sun seems to take it for granted that these Iowa Republican tariff manipulators were in earnest and meant what they said, whereas they were simply playing politics to keep in the current of popular sen timent; but perhaps it doesn't like even that kind of bunco politics which makes so many admissions and encourages the growth of the anti-tariff, anti-trust sentiment, which may become even more for midable than it is now. It evident ly regards this kind of thing aa boding no good to the beneficiaries of the protective tariff or to its truBt beneficiaries, when the Re publicans agree with the Democrats who oppoBe the high tariff and treats and help them in opening the eyea of the people to theae - mons trous awindle8, aa Mr. Farquhar, whom we quoted yesterday, char acterized the protective tariff. In speaking of the fake they were playing we said yesterday that, al though the Republicans have had control of both honses of Congress and the Presidency since 1896, they have never made a move for tariff reduction or for the regulation of trusts, and that not one Iowa Rep resentative in the House or Sen ate had taken one step in that di rection, although every Representa tive in Congress from that State was present, participated in that convention and commended the plat form adopted, a platform which, if carried out in ood faith, pledges eTery one of them to vote for tariff reduction and for laws regulating and restraining trusts. Bnt the Sun looked up the record and found where that solid Repub lican delegation in Congress stood upon the tariff and trust question in the past" session of Congress. Every one of them was mum on the bill introduced by Mr. Rich ardson, although every one of them endorsed if he did not vote in the convention for a plat form which was a practical endorse ment of the Richardson bill. But they and the Republican organs of the State will take good care not to to let their constituents know that auch a bill waa introduced in Con gress, and that it was buried by the Republican majority of the Ways and Means Committee, and that these tariff revisionists and trust curbers made no effort to prevent it from being buried. They were not in favor of tariff reduction then nor of tackling the trusts, and they wouldn't be in favor of it now, if it wasn't for the strong and growing public sentiment in favor of It, and the public declarations of promi nent Republicans who were not con trolled by the beneficiaries of pro tection or the trusts. They are not doing so much talking on that line now aa they did when Congreaa waa in aession, for the electiona are com ing on and they don't want to "hurt the party." But the talking they have done has Btarted the people to thinking and talking, and the Re publican politiclana will have a large amount of tariff revision, trust regu lating faking to do to keep their following in line to support these monstrous frauds. WORXIffG CHELDSES IS MILLS. Much ado haa been made by some Northern papers and by some peo ple who have visited Southern cot ton milla about the employment of children in the mills. This has also been the subject of discussion in Southern papera. With all the talk about it we occasionally find a state ment with facts and figures that gives some idea aa to the number of children bo employed. The following which we clip from the Atlanta Journal gives some of of these facts and figures : Alabama was behind Georgia and the Carolina In catching the impulse to develop the textile possibilities of the south. Her almost unrivaled stores of iron and coal had absorbed so much of Ala bama's attention that she was slow to progress to any remarkable extent in cotton manufacture. In the last few years, however, there has been much cotton mill constructions in that state. Some of the Alabama mills make as fine grades of goods as are turned out anywhere in the south. There is a marked tendency there toward a still further advance in fine cotton manufactures, and the general outlook for the cotton mills of that state is very encouraging. In Alabama, as in several other Southern States, the question of child labor in cotton mills is causing much discussion. A committee which has organized a movement whose object it Is to secure legislation on this question has recently published a pamphlet en titled "The Case Against Child La bor," written by Rev. Edgar Gardner Murphy, the committee's chairman. According to his figures the number of children employed in Southern cotton mills increased 140.9 per cent, during the decade ending in 1880, and 106. B per cent between 1880 and 1890. Be tween 1890 and 1900 the increase was no less than 370.7 per cent Of the 45,044 textile operatives in North Car olina, 7,998 are under 14 years of age, while the average wage of the child has decreased from S3 to 39 cents per day in that State. In some places in the South the daily wage is as low as 9 cents a day for 12 hours of work. It is estimated that there are at least 33,000 children in Southern cotton mills of whom be tween 9,000 and 10,000 are under 13 years of age. A fact which has provoked much comment is that the mills having the largest proportion of very young chil dren at work are owned and directed by northern men who come from States which have strict laws against the employment of child labor In mills. They seem determined to make the most of their opportunities where no limitations upon child labor have Deen established. These figures may or may not be correct. As to that we do not know, but we do know that many of the Southern mill owners would gladly dispense with the labor of children if that were practicable. Some of them say that they would not work children at all but for the fact that many parents insist upon taking their children into the milla aa a condition to going in themaelvea. Their labor being needed the em ployers yield. The reasons given' for this de mand by some of the parents is that they want the children near them and not running at large, and others need their wages. How true this is, of course, we do not know, but working these little ones in milla or anywhere else where they are con fined for ten or twelve hours a day is murder of the innocents, an evU that should be abated at the earliest possible day. Better that the cot ton spinning industry expand more slowly if it haa to depend on chil dren to do the expanding. A New York man recently at tempted suicide because he was ac cused of stealing a watch and was afraid he would be sent to the penitentiary. He did not steal the watch, but he took all the monev he had, $180, and told his wife he would go to Canada. Afterwards he attempted suicide, and it turned out that some practical iokers charged him with stealing the watch and told him that the evidence was dead against him. Practical jokers of that kind should be locked up somewhere to 1y each other. DiscTssnra bilk. A recent issue of the Chattanooga Tradesman discusses the question of silk culture and silk mills in the South. It doea not enoourage the movement for silk culture, which it asserts will be impracticable and unprofitable, but it thinks the es tablishment of silk mills a good idea and one that ought to be fol lowed up. It is doubtless correct about that, for the silk mills that have been es tablished in North Carolina, where we have about all there are in the South, have proved profitable. But our Chattanooga contempo rary doesn't give any reasons why silk culture ia not practicable and may not be successful and profit able. Experiments made in South Carolina have proved successful and a number of persons who tried this year, in this State, with eggs fur nished by the State Department of Agriculture, report that they have succeeded very well. One of them in Asheville, whose name has escaped us, succeeded so well that he has no doubt that the industry may become a permanent and a profitable one. Of course a new industry like that, about the practical operations of which our people know so little, should be entered upon in a small way and enlarged gradually as peo nle become more familiar with it, just as new beginners must do generally. By going slow, studying as they go along and not undertaking too much there ia no reaaon that silk culture could not be made a profitable addi tion to the industries of the average farm, when there are young people or others who have the spare time to at tend to it. Now that a movement i n this direction has been made it should not be abandoned without a fair trial because some one who probably doesn't know anything about it says it will not pay. BOOK HOTICES.

In this picturesque fashion does the'Iowa financier en force his sensible ruling. Philadel phia Telegraph, Rep. Talking about prosperity and protective tariffs, statistics prove that there has been an increase of 25 2-10ths per cent, in the number of wage-earners in the country with in the past ten years, and an in crease of but 23 2-lOths in the to tal of wages paid. To put it in an other way, the percentage of the to tal value of products which the wage-earners receive, has decreased from 20 2-10thsto 17 8 -10th 8 per cent. When to this is added the fact that the necessaries of life have Increased in cost from 25 to 100 per cent, it is no wonder the wage-earner is asking: "What haa protection done for me?"

Nevertheless I am inter ested In the m and always expect to be. We lire oa a short block flanked by two iong ones. From my bedroom win dow, in the rear. 1 can look out on the rear of two rows of houses opposite one another. This morning I saw a young man stand at a window of the (seventh house to the left watching a window of the third house to the right. Prer.i-ntlyn beautiful girl appeared and waved her handkerchief to him. I nin not curious at all. My brother Bob says I am inordinately so, but I'm not. Nevertheless, it being plain that the wave of the handkerchief was a s!k.TUil. a sign, a message or something ofthe kind, I naturally wondered what It could be. I -wished that it had ap peared later in the day, for I was obliged to keep watch at the window all the afternoon and evening for fear of missing the next message. Nothing appeared till after dark, when a can dle was left burning on the sill of the young lady's window I shall call this No. S and the other house No. 7 for half an hour. It went out suddenly, and I went to bed. The first signal had passed about 9 o'clock. Therefore the next morning I began my watch a few minutes be fore d. As the clock struck the hour the gentleman and the lady appeared at their respective windows. -She looked troubled and held up a piece of paste board on which was written in large letters: Tark at 11 p. m. This was surely the time and place of an elopement. Tbe man as soon as he saw the message looked serious, but an elopement is a serious matter, and I was not surprised that this young couple appreciated the Importance of the step they were about to take. I did not expect any more messages, but for fear of missing one I kept my place at my window all day. After dark I was about to give It up when a red light was put In the girl's window. That means that something has hap pened to prevent the elopement tonight. Red Is a danger signal. I shall look anxiously for another cipher message In the morning. I lay awake half the night wondering what had happened. I wished that 1 could help them. It might be they needed a confidant to make arrange ments they could not make themselves. 1 resolved that If they did not carry out their plans the next day 1 would go into No. 3, call for the girl and offer my services. In the morning she held up a sign: Tark 6, Haze O. They're going to try it again. They will meet at some place at 0 this even ing designated by the word "Tark." But what does "Haze O" mean? Why, that the danger which threatened them before has been eliminated. How stu pid of me not to see it at once I Tonight will telL I'm sure the window will show a light. I was not mistaken. The window did show a light not one, but two, and they were both red. In the morning I awaited the cipher message anxiously. It came later than usual, and the poor girl looked dread fully worried when she gave It On the pasteboard were the words: Tark 10. Tbe man, too, looked worried, trot made a motion for the girl to wait. Then, disappearing from the window, he returned presently and held up a placard: O. K. this end; tonight sure. I could stand this no longer. Putting on my hat and wraps I went around the corner and rang the bell at No. 3. The girl who had been displaying cipher messages came to the door. "May I speak with you a moment?" I asked. Certainly. Come In," infn n drnwinGT room, and I mustered courage to open the deli? cafe subject. "Pardon me U I seem officious," I said, "but I have reason to believe that you love a gentleman who lives In one of the houses whose rear faces yours."

I have observed your signals, your appointments and your disap pointments." "Excuse me," she Interrupted. "Have you had the measles?" "The measles? Why, no. What has that to do with the mattter?" "Only that my two children are down with It, end if you should take it It might go hard wtth you. It al ways does with elderly people." "And tbe signals?" I gasped. "They were to keep my husband, who remained at home with our other children, Informed. We took this house that we might separate the sick .from the well." Then she explained the signals. The smOe and the handkerchief merely meant encouragement; "Tark at. 11 p. m." that their boy Taf klngton, who had not surely shown the disease, had broken out at 11 p. m. The white and red lights were the only signals that could be given at night to say "bet ter" or "worse." "Tark 6, Haze O." meant that, according to tbe scale agreed upon, Tarklngton was doing well, Hazel recovered two red lights, Tarklngton worse. "O.

The cotton market opened steady with prices un changed to four points lower, this be ingan indifferent response to weak Liverpool cables and to lisrht foreien selling. American selling orders and a bearish interpretation of yesterday's Dureau report were given as tbe fac tors which most disturbed the foreign bulls and invited bear pressure. The chief support of the local market was active Wall street buying of Octo ber, December and January and the demand from spot cotton houses for August. Trading was active in a spasmodic way during the session. though fluctuations were at no time broad. Before midday the Wall street orders had rallied the market to a shade above the closing of yesterday, xnen came the weekly crop weather report from Washington ana proved to oe more favorable than anticipated by the trade as a whole.- Prices settled back several points, but at the decline Wall street became a larger buyer of the distant months. Near the close the market fall a trifle under profit-taking by local interests and was finally steady, with prices net one point higher to three points lower.
