Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, the emiaettt
Knglinh statesman, is now in this conn
try. In reeeat interview he has ex
yweased his oplnbniof us Amerieaoa,
Uyiag emphasis on a very curious coa
tradiction in oar national character. He
aayo: ' ;
"Yours is a great country in every re-
spect. Yonr natural resources are tut
surpassed, and the enterprise and intel
ligence cf your citizens are not excelled
in the whole world. Your people have
a good opinion of themselves, and justly
botiHt of their prestige, their domain,
their growth and their wealth. But
when they come down to the considera
tion of the tariff question they are the
most modest people in the universe.
They seem to believe that anybody can
beat them in the production of every
thing which is the result of a combina
tion of hands and brains and money."
While we are being so diligently
taught by our law makers that "we
can't." ewnts are happening every day
to prove that "we, can." Not long ago
Mr. Jordao. of Kio Janeiro. Brazil,
was in Chicago for the purpose of buy
ing machinery to le used by the Union
of Industry, a great company recently
formed in Brazil "for the purpose of
manufacturing almost everything known
in the trade." He had previously visited
Europe to mako investigations there.
Referring to those investigations and
his observations here, he says:
"X found that American machinery is
superior to anything made in Europe. J
visited Germany, France, Belgium aad
England. I found the price of European
machinery a little lower, but the Amer
ican machines are so much more labor
saving that I find them more desirable
for ear use, and I shall make my pur
chases in this country almost entirely."
The Brazilian is not the only foreigner
who has a high opinion of American
skill and ingenuity. When the English
and German iron men were in this ooun
try The New York . Tribune printed an
interview with Herr E. Schroedter. ed
iter of a paper called Steel and Iron, at
Dttmeidorf, Germany. The Tribune ar
gues for high protection every day, but
it did not hesitate to print the following
words from the German editor:
"We were especially aesirous to see
America, the land of rapid advancement.
We have heard of your wonderful tech
nical progress, and we wish to see , it
with oar own eyes and take its lessons
with us back to Germany. America has
methods and machines which are strange
to u. The iron cities of the United
. States will bo revelations to us. It is
only natural that a land in which the
aron and steel industry nas grown so
enormously should be possessed of insti
tutions and devices of which we inhab
itants of the older countries are still
ignorant. The iron works, rolling mills
and blast furnaces in Germany still use
the eld time plants and machines. These
are really rocks about Germany's indus
trial neck. For this reason we desire to
study closely the conditions, changes
and advances here. It would be a bad
thing to shut cmr doors against these in
novations."
We are strong and toe Hermans art
weak: they come to nS to learn lessons
ef progress. But-rwe need protection
from them!

Durixur the recent campaign the rise
of prices played a most important part
Republican journals and speakers de
nied that there was any advance in
prices, and the -talk about "McKinley
prices" was denounced by The New York
Tribune as the "most disreputable jour
nalism.
Since the elections, however, they
have opened their eyes to the fact that
there has been a rise in prices, and it is
ven admitted that this was the cause o!
tb great anti-McKinley tidal wave.
This is the opinion of Senator Sherman.
In explaining the defeat of his party be
says: "The women did it: they found
the prices higher when they went shop
ping, and the men had to vote against
the tariff bill.'

John Dunham, the wholesale grocer,
was indulging in reminiscence a day or
two ago. and he made some interesting
comments on the methods of credit in
vogue at the present tune. Mr. Dunham
has been a merchant in Minneapolis for
thirty-three years, thirteen of which
spent in 9L Anthony as a retauer.
He deplored the want of system among
merchants in extending credit, and said
too many merchants failed to keep post
ed about the conditions around them, or
the markets in short, they didn't think
or read. And then he repeated a story
told him by J. B. rhiawtt. the vateraa
rumberman, in illustration of the point
" 'People don't think, and thaTs why
so many are poor, sua mx. nasssiT.
Do you know it takes brains to p&e
lumber or shovel dirt? There's a right
way to do it.'
"And then he told this story: He vis
ited his lumber yard a year or two ago
and found two men piling boards. A
load had been dumped in the alley, and
this was to be put in a pile. It was the
manner in which the work was being
done that attracted Mr. Bassett's atten
tion. He observed that one of the men
picked up a board, carried it to the pile
and dropped it on the ground. Then the
other man picked it np and placed it on
the pile. Mr. Bassett called the two
men to him, and they sat down on the
pile.
" 'Did you ever think, you two men"
he asked. 1
"The men were a little puzzled at the
query. 'Uou t yon men ever thin or
improving your lot in life? Don't you
ever think about it? he asked.
The men weren't positive that they
did think, and Mr. Bassett said:
" 'Well, I thought so whea I saw you
piling those boards. It rake two cf you
to do one man's wor:; did you know
that? Now. instead of dropping that
board on the ground and picking it up
again, can't you drop the board riht on
the pile where it belongs? Both of you
can carry them from the pile, and the job
will be done in about half the time.'
"That little talk of Mr. Bassett's set
the men to thinking, and be told me not
long ago, as the incident was recalled,
that they are now two of the best calcu
lators in his employ.
MIt is so with merchants, city or coun
try. They sell goods without thinking.
Ie the customer responsible? Will there
ho any crop? How much had the man
ought to have? These questions are
never thought of, and before long fail
ure follows. I kept a retail grocery
store in St Anthony for thirteen years
and never lost but $250 by bad credit,
and one year I sold $35,000 worth of
goods. That shows what can be done.
I estimate that 15 per cent, of the gro
eeriee bought, wholesale and retail, are
never paid for." Minneapolis JoumaL
Kara Aaierteaa Stoma.
The United States is fast becoming a
land of precious stones. Diamonds have
been found in Georgia. Pearls are now
being picked np in Wisconsin, and Undo
Sam is making arrangenfents for an in
voice of some of them for his collection.
There are some beautiful turquoises in
the cases which were brought by Maj.
Powell from New Mexico, and these are
quite as fine as the blue turquoises which
the government has from Persia. Of
less expensive b tones the beryls are very
beautiful, and there is a piece of aqua
marine from Portland, Me., which is as
big as your fist and which shines like a
diamond.
There is an amethyst which is won
derfully beautiful. It was found in
North Carolina and h supposed to have
been used by the men of prehistoric
times. It was originally in the shape of
a turtle, bat Professor Clarke tells me
that it was spoiled in the cutting.. There
are also oriental amethysts, and the
amethysts from Brazil show all the
changes of that stone from a light pink
to a dark purple. Pittsburg Dispatch. ,

One of the most outrageous methods
of attracting public attention ever adopt
ed was put in operation the other day in
Brooklyn. A colored man and woman,
both well dressed, were walking down
Fulton street, when the woman suddenly
turned upon the man like a tigress, and
began shaking him by the collar and
scolding him. The man meekly tried to
stop her. A crowd soon gathered. Then
the woman v let go of the man and they
both walked quickly away. As soon as
this wowd had dispersed the woman be
gan to shake her consort again and gath
ered another crowd, and this scene was
repeated at almost every corner along
that busy thoroughfare
Between the man's shoulders was a
placard pasted to his overcoat advocat
ing the use of some new nostrum. But
the crowd was slow to understand
whether the woman was really abusing
She "sandwich" man or not. No potieo-
dsb eame in sight, though the scene was
unpleasantly well acted, and the crowds
obstructed pedootriano considerably.--New

1 have raid in a former article "that
estimating the population ef the United
States at 60.OCO.000 and the wealth of
the nation at $44,000,000,000, divided
equally among all the people, it would -give
each $733.22. I have aloo said that
the ezpesses of the national m sr nan set
have averaged $640,000,000 for the last
twenty-eight years, and that 1 percent,
on $44,(30,000,000 would be required to
raise $040,000,000. Then if each paid
taxes in the proportion of their wealth,
each having $733.23, each would have
$10.13 tax to pay. Now, what I want
to show is this: That if each pos
sessed equal wealth our present revenue
system would not be materially unequal .
or unjust, and could be paid on con
samptioaa easily as direct tax, only
mere expensive in collecting
But when you change the condition of
the. people so that 1.000,000 own and
control $38,000,000,000 of our national
wealth, leaving the other 50,000,000 with
only $8,000,000.000 only a fraction over
$135 to each of the poor while each of
the rich have $06,000, and if they were
required to pay equal taxes (which I hold
they should be) theirs would each amount
to $540. while each of the poor, at the
same rate, would only be $2.82. It is
these facts and figures, Mr. Editor, that
I want to impress upon the attention of
your readers, to show the injustice of
our jevenue system and the absolute ne
cessity of its repeal. -
The Hon. John Sh'-rman a great many
years ago, when he was a poor man,
and advocating the cause of the poor
man on the Huor cf congress, said:

And. Mr. Edito.-. lu:s not t'.i rxperieneo
of the Lvt tweiny-Cvo years di-moastrat-ed
the truth of that prophecy: "That a
few years of further experience would
convince the whole body of our people
that a system of national revenues that
reata the whole burden of taxation on
consumption and not one cent on prop
erty or income is intrinsically unjust?"
And having tnat Bad exyxrience, will we
continue that intrinsically unjust reve
nue pyaim? .
That w the question, and the question
1 want to force upon the attention of
every reader of Tne Journal and every
union in America, and through them
upon the attent ion of congress. This col
lecting and expending taxes has no just
relation whatever to any American pri-
. vate enterprise or business. And this
protection scbeme put upon taxation as .
. a rider has done-mischief enough already
to damn it, and damn institutions that
permit it to ride national taxation, and
through it ride the farmers and laborers
of America to death, which if not already
done, it will soon do. as the facts and fig
ures I have already chown clearly prove.

That Wall Street Punic.
The panicky condition of Wall street
has not had any decided deleterious effect
; upon legitimate business. So say tho
dailies. It appears to have been, accord
ing to current version, a rich man's
affair, resulting from a combination of
causes. But in the end the poor man
will pay the bills. A leading cause was,
I no doubt, an overdoing of the bear
movement upon cotton by the interna
' tional money combination, the purpose
of which was to scare cotton out of the
farmers' hands, with especial reference
to discouragement of negotiations by
the Alliance for cheap interest advances
on cotton held for higher prices. An
other prime cause, however, was the de
sire for a change in certain railroad
managements, to accomplish which the
purchase of large blocks of stock was
necessary. A war was organized on
these stocks until they reached a point
at which the manipulators wanted th?in.
This depression was communicated by
sympathy to almost nil other stocks.
Could a better illustration be given of
the instability of our commercial insti
tutions and the laws governing them?
Here millions of the fictitious wealth of ;
the land are increased or decreased in
value at the will of a few leading ma
nipulators, resulting in good in no sense. ,
but in harm in many senses. It illus- '
trateo how completely this people are ;
subject to the money power. The rob- j
bOriea by this power are accomplished !
just as a smart gambler would turn a
card from the bottom of a dock, aad yet j
ft ia called business, and so called by j
law. It is simply the lowest form of
robbery, aad the most dangerous for
Wall street rules the commerce of the '
United States and greatly affects that of
all tho world. It is one of tho institu
tions that must be reformed before we
can hope for any real stability in our com-

or government. Texas Farmer.

The Farmers' Alliance of Nebraska, in

Bjepublieansclaimed to be elected to other
offices, charged that business men in
Omaha and elsewhere formed a conspir

brought in vast sums of money for that
purpose; that nearly 3,000 foreigners
were naturalized and their fees paid by
outside parties just prior to the election,

following demands of the state Alliauca:
'First For railroad commission.
Second For law prohibiting in future
giving away of convict labor.
Third For such changes in laws as
will reduce costs of litigation in minor
causes and also enlarge jurisdiction of
magistrates.
'Fourth For prohibition of acceut-
acc of railway passes by public officials. ,
Each candidate was asked to sign these ;
demands separately, signatures to be

member of the legislature, save about
twenty, signed them. They were thug

During the course of an address before
the Franklin county (O.) Farmers' Alli
ance Rev. W. R. Parsons said:
The significance and importance oi
this farmers' movement are far reaching
and deeply interestine. In it there ifi
the spirit of pure patriotism. A genuine j
American spirit pulses its life. It is ere-!
ating that consensus of opinions, that !
patriotic spirit, which constitute the
main pillars of our national greatness. '
These farmers are not in sympathy with
merciless trusts and monopolies, mill
ionaires who purchase seats in the sen
ate of the United States, or legislatures
who paralyze our legitimate industries
through failure to protect them from
counterfeits and ail alterations.
There are hundreds of corrupt, dis
honest, unprincipled men in the halls of

they are as well as what they refuse 1c
do. Obstructionists, rippers and cor

Drives to Suicide 7 La ef His Dead lHg.
Sidney Clay was a London builder's
clerk living in Euston road. He was 81
years of age &.:d had a wife and several
children. A sister-in-law lived with the
family, and this lady had a pet dog, a
toy terrier called Peep, which became a
great favorite with all. Clay took the
pet dog for a walk and lost it; presuma
bly the creature was stolen, for it was
extraordinarily small and marvel oualy
intelligent. Clay made every effort to
recover the pet, but failed. Thereupon
he became despondent and moody, and
four months later he suddenly fell dead
in the family sitting room. At the post
mortem examination it transpired that
the man had taken a dose of cyanide of
potassium with suicidal intent.. It seems
that clay had for a long time contem
plated making away with himself, for a
letter (which had been written three
months) addressed to his wife was found
upon his person.
"To the best and dearest of women,
Marian, my wife," he wrote; "there are
times in the life of a man when he is su
premely happy. Such has been my lot
with you until quite recently. Then
comes a downfall such as has befallen
me. Sinoe I lost our dear, darling Peep
the life, light and joy of our hearts
I have been brokenhearted? I told yon
on one occasion I should never be able
to brook her loss, and I feel 1 never can.

No other political movement in out
day has had such a sadden and gigantic
impulse as that of the Farmers' Alliance
in the present year. It is fair to predict
that, encouraged by this display of
strength, the farmers of the southern
and western and possibly some cf the
eastern states wiil take a still more
inent part in political movements.
nominate a candidate for the presidency
in 1892. At this time the outlook prom
ises three candidates: Republican. Dem
ocratic ana t armors . Ailianco. with a
prohibition candidate omitted or merely
an inconsiderable factor in the struggle.
Neither of the great political partie
nas ever indorsed, nor can they be expect
ed to indorse, in its etdirety, the plat
form of tho Farmers' A moe. As party
lines are more closely ilrawn at tho sext
session of congress the Alliance members
will find themselves fi apart from the
majority. This will strengthen their
purpose to have an independent candi
date in the field for the presidency. Both
parties must meet the situation as it ia.
Both must acknowledge that the Fi
tar Alliance ia a formidable
factor ia

Ben Terrell,
tho
Farmers' Alliance, made - an able
ad-
dress bctore the convention of the '.
era' and Laborers' Union of Kentucky,
which met recently in Lexington. He
appealed to the inhabitants of the cities
and towns to aid the farmers to promote
the better condition of the agricultur
ists; that they weru people of the same
government, and what was the interest
of one class was the interest of all. Ho
declared that the Alliance was not a
partisan organization, but it stood ready
to rebuke any party or administration
which did not heed the demands of tho
laboring class. . r
He said that the farmers both north
and south would stand : shoulder to
shoulder in the fight against the common
enemies of mankind namely, specula
tors and monopolists. There . was no ,
sectional strife among the farmers of the
nation. They were all striving for one'
ecd ' better times. s -
He deprecated class legislation; said it
was injurious to the people, and doubly
so to the f ai mer, upon whom the brunt
of everything falls. " Tho farmers were
patriots, not partisans; and whatever
was good for the country they would al
ways jfo for it. He said tb. n th- farm
ers as a class were ducatwil: that they
were readers and thinfcrs. and tht-ir or
ganization did not bind them tr any
political or religious views, but reserved
to each individual member a perfect
. freedom of political aad religious thought
and action.
He further said that the farmers have
determined that parties shall support
the people, not the people support the
parties. And the party in the future
which will gain the votes of the Alli
ance will be that party which will enaet
legislation for the relief of the people.
And they reserve the right to cast a bal
lot which will relieve them from the op
pression to which they are subjected.
He concluded by saying that the Alli
ance wanted to cultivate the friendship
and good will of all classes, and asked
that everybody join tho farmers in try
keg to do away with oeotionai.'gm

The most frequent if not the most
forcible objection to federal ownership
of the railroads is that the vast increase
such ownership would make to the jt
ronage of the government would, be dan-
gereos to our institutions. "The rail
; roads," say those who favor this view,
"should by all means be kept out of poli
tics." True, but no government rail
roads on earth are so thoroughly in poli
tics as the private railroads in this coun
try. What phase of American politics ia
tree from railroad influence? It extends
fand ramifies in every direction. It pen
etrates the counting room, the editorial
sanctum, the court and the legislature,
state and national. No department of
the government is free from it. It is
active from the nomination of the presi
dent of a village to the election of the
president of the United States. It is not
open and above board, but underhand
and insidious. Always exercised to ac
quire political power for private ends, it
is constantly at war with the public,
persistently demoralising in its tenden
cies, and invariably pernicious to the
general welfare. It is the monstrous
progeny of vast wealth, limitless re
j sources, insatiable greed and an nn
! scrupulous policy.
I With the passage of the roads under
government control a growing danger to
the republic would be removed. The
service should be entirely divorced from
! politics. Efficiency, good conduct and
j ability should be the tests for promo
I tion, not political influence. Is it possi
! ble that the government of this country
, is so unscrupulous, dishonest and cor
' rapt that it cannot be intrusted with du
ties satisfactorily performed by the
"effete5 monarchies of Eaaope, and must
these duties therefore be farmed out to
the Goulds, Vanderbilt8 smd other rail
road kings and potentates? Rural New

The president rose early, as YA& slewf
was light and caprtetaas. In the sum
mer, when he lived at the Soldiers'
home, he would take his frugal break
fast and ride into town in time to be at
his desk at 8 o'clock. He began to re
ceive visits nominally at 10 o'clock, but
long before that hour struck the doors
were besieged by anxious crowds,
through whom the people of importance,
senators and members of congress, el
bowed their way after the fashion which
still survives. On days when the cab
inet met, Tuesdays and Fridays, the
hour of noon closed the interviews of the
morning. On other days it was the
president's custom at about that hour to
order the doors to be opened and all who
were waiting to be admitted.
At luncheon time he had literally to
run tho gnsalct throsgh tho crowds
who filled the corridors bet wees bio of
fice and the rooms at the west end of the
house occupied by tho family. The
afternoon wore away in much the same
manner as the morning; late in the day
ho usually drove out far as hots 'a air
ing; at o'clock ho dined.
He was one of tho most abstemious of

a ewp of coffee; at loBsroinnoi
he rarely took more than a utausit aad a
glass of milk, a plate of fruit ia io or

two eonrses. He drank Iritis or so wine;
not that ho remained always os prin
ciple a total abstainer, as he was a part
of his early life in the fervor of the
