Workingmen who are wondering why the factories of the country are furnish ing so Itti pmeolelmyatne B-i-' agsaisa tag so little employment and paying such low wages will, perhaps, be interested in the following table which shows the val ue of certain lines of manufactured goods Imported into the United States during the first year of the Wilson law. com THired wirh the nuotations in the last year of the McKinley law. It .will be J seen tnat in every case the importations . increased enormously, and when it is re membered that all of these goods are of . a class that can be manufactured freely In the United States, it will not be sur prising that the factories of this country nave been compelled to close down or reduce the wages paid to their employes. A comparison of the first calendar year under the Wilson law is made with the last fiscal year of the McKinley law, the purpose being to place side by side the Importations of the two complete official years which most nearly touch the date ! at which the Wilson law went into ef- i feet: , i ---5 ARTICLES. : -i 1-2.

Had these hun- dred million dollars been distributed among the American workingmen in stead of going to those of foreign coun tries, the situation in the United States would be vastly different to-day. THE FREE RIOT PLANK. The attempt which is made in some quarters to make it appear that what we tall the "anarchist plank" of the Chicago platform is but a fresh expression of the traditional xfjiiocranc view oi states i rights" will not work. That plank had its origin solely in the brain of Governor -AJtgeld a brain fired with resentment at the suppression of the anarchist rising in Chicago at the time of the great railroad strike To that anarchistic demonstration Governor Altgeld had lent all the aid which the avowed sympathy of an official in power could possibly afford. He had calmly witnessed the seizure of railroad and other property by the mob. He had beheld the flames mounting skyward from burning warehouses and railroad trains, fired by miscreants who sought to reproduce at Chicago the horrors of the Paris commune, with no effective step taken to arrest (he evil-doers. The entire railway system of the country, passing through Illinois, was blockaded with' wrecked and stalled trains, but this rec- reant governor, anxious only to curry fa- ! vor with the mob, refused to use the pow-1 er confided to his hands and set the wheels of commerce when once in motion. Everywhere the anarchistic mob, though no longer supported by the better element of the striking railroad employes, seemed to rejoice in Altgeld's countenance, as it jmrsued its course of destruction. But In stopping the passage of the Unit- a Mates mails and in interfering with inter-state commerce, the anarchists quickly found that they had gone too far farther even than Altgeld could sustain them. The supreme power of the nation was in voked. The injunctions of the courts against the rioters were enforced, at the 1 "resident's order, by lines of gleaming hayouets, and the '"boys In blue," regard less of Altgeld's remonstrances, quickly pet the trains in motion again, backed the frightened but now reassured municipal ities in the restoration of law and order, and sent the anarchists, with their red .flag, cowering to their dens before $he tri umphant unfolding of the stars and stripes. Governor Altgeld has never repented of 11s cowardice and disloyalty on that occa sion, but he has nevertheless felt the sting of popular condemnation and re buke; and has longed for a "vindication." In the Chicago Popocratic conventiort. controlled by a multitude of crazy dema- j gogues and visionaries over whom he had j a strange hypnotic influence, he found ! Lis opportunity: and the "anarchist! plank" was adopted as an endorsement ! of his course at the time of the Chicago i riots and as a condemnation of President ! Cleveland's course in suppressing these J anarchistic orgies. Thus, out of the blighted, rotten log of Altgeldian communism not out of any bistoric Democratic tree was a plank which a contemporary nas well denomin ated the "free riot plank" of the Popo- Taric platform sawed. Its adoption was hailed by all the unruly elements of so ciety with delight. All those who fancy they see a prospective gain in the break-; ing up of the established order of things, I who want to reap where they have not sown, and fatten on what others have earned; all those who want to substitute the ipse dixit of the mob for the processes of the courts; all elements of unrest ev erywhere, find their chief incentive to working for the Chicago nominees in 1 that plank. For Bryan declares he en-! Worses "every word of it." The triumph of a candidate standing on that platform would embolden every anarchist to crawl j out of his lair: and on the first occasion we might behold the scenes of the Chica-1 go riot re-enacted all over the land, with j ro President iu power daring to uphold ,lhe majesty of the law,- j I Hryan tells the farmers that the price of wheat ot silver; that the gold standard forced down the ,t risft till silver rose: but the cold been sinking and wheat rising.

William McKinley has established a , permanent reputation for effective i campaign .oratory. His set speeches have always ranked high for excel- lence in both matter and manner, but lie nas snown niinsen m mis cam- paign capable of a versatility and fa-' cility of popular eloquence rarely equaled and never surpassed. While covering a wide field of discussion, taking up in turn every phase of the difficult and complicated issues now before the country, he has employed a style of utterance and argument of such transparent simplicity as to en gage the attention and enlist the sym pathies and convictions of his hearers. His opponents have not been able to find a single flaw in his armor. He is clad in the impenetrable steel of an honest cquse and a noble purjose. This was especially exemplified In his eloquent and effective speech ol yesterday. The assembled farmers will not soon forget these ringing words : It was said that if we opened up this country to the free use of the wool oi the world the farmers would be bene fited. It was done, and with whal benefit you know better than I can tell you. Now they tell you that more free silver is the panacea for all youi ills.

ONE DAY AT CANTON Continued from Firtt PaK. others from Rock Island and Molinc, 111., and Davenport. Ia. .Maj. McKinley snitl: "You couie from three states of the mightiest government of earth. You come representing diverse occupations and varied eiiiiilo.vineiits. but you come with a single mission; you come wnu u common purpose, anil that purpose is to manifest your devotion to the great prin ciples of the Republican party -and your determination to see that those princi ples shall triumph on the 3d day of No vember. "You come because, as your spokes men have so well said, you are interested in the welfare and prosperity of the country you love, which you believe will be best subserved by a Republican vic tory at the ensuing election, now only a little more thau three weeks away. You have come because you believe in a pro tective tariff. You believe in that great American policy established at the be ginning of the government of the United States, which had the approval of nearly all the early statesmen of the country and of the first President of the United States. George Washington; a policy that has been pursued for more than half the lifetime of the republic, and during all tiie period that it prevailed we enjoyed the nighest prosperity in every enter prise and undertaking of American peo ple. You have come here because you are in favor of the supremacy of the law and because you mean to maintain n government by law and under the law. You are here because yon believe in pub lic and private honesty, aud because you do not propose that any part of the pub lic debt of this country shall be repudi ated in whole o in part. "Y'ou are here to declare that every obligation of this government is as sa cred as its flag, and that obligation shall ,e Kepl aml l"ormeu. ion are .ere I wish every man in this country might rend the first platform that the Repub- lican party ever made as a national oarty in ISiHS in the city of Philadelphia. I wish that every young man might read it. and I wish that every old Repub lican might look up the oid record and recall it. It reads today more like an inspired prophecy than the declaration of a political organization. It declared for the unity of the states and the indis solubility of the American Union. It declared for free homes, for free lands, j ior tree speecn. aim it declared jor a protective tariff. It decreed that the two oceans should he united by rail, the At lantic and the 1 aeihc. and every prom ise that this great platform made has been kept. How glorious is Republican triumph. There is not a page of Repub lican history that has been written in the last thirty-three years that any lover of humanity, any lover of lilierty. auy patriot would strike from the pages of American history today: not one. You enn trust the Republican party, for be hind it is the great conservative force of the country; behind it this year, as in the days of the war. is the great patri otic heart of the country. "Democrats and Republicans alike. I thank you, my fellow citizens, for this call. This is not a party campaign; it is a patriotic campaign. It is not a campaign for men: it is a campaign for our country. I thank you a thousand times for the long journey you have made that yon might testify your devo tion to Republican principles. I bid you go bark home and say to all the people that Ohio, this splendid old state of my birth, will give to these great doctrines of the Republican party an unprecedent ed maioritv this year. CLEVELAND AND ST. LOUIS. Flas to the Nominee and a Floral Trib ute to Mrs. McKinley. The next crowd occupied all the avail able space around the little reviewing stand. It was composed of commercial traveling men from Cleveland and St. Louis. They presented Gov.

The flag was presented by n 12-year-old lad in bchalt ol Hie children ot ht. l.ouis. while the traveling men were introduced as nn organization largely composed of Democrats but determined to vote for McKinley and sound money. Mr. M Kiniey's response was as follows: "I can turn either way this year and find Republicans. (Great laughter and applause.) It is appropriate and in no sense embarrassing to me to speak joint ly to the people of Missouri and Ohio. (Applause.) There is one thing glorious about our campaign this year it is na tional in character and represents the best hopes and aspirations of the Ameri can people everywhere. You are all commercial travelers, and whether from Missouri or from Ohio, you have had similar experiences. You leave your sample cases at home now. If I should talk a little longer and more directly my fellow citizens of Ohio, to my friends from Missouri, it is because I more fre quently have an opportunity to talk to you than I have to them. (Great cheer ing on part of the Ohioans.) I love my old state (here three cheere for Ohio were given at the suggestion of one of the .Missouri:! nsi. the state of my birth I love the public spirit and splendid en ergy of the people of our city on the lake; and I have always liked Missouri and nothing lias occurred tnis summer in St. Louis to make me change my mind. (Iremeudous cheering and waving of hats.) "I welcome yon all here to my home and city. I welcome the commercial travelers of St. Louis, the citizens of Missouri, and I welcome the sound money club of St. Louis, which is com posed of men of all political parties, who stand this year for the honor of the gov ernment and the integrity of our financial system. We an- all citizens of a com mon country. This year, ns in all the years of the future. I trust we have no Xorth, no South, no East, no West, but union aud union forever. (Great cheer ing.) We have hut one flag. too. like the one brought to me by my young friend from Missouri. (Maj. McKinley here exhib ited a small flag, which was followed by tremendous cheering.) It is the flag we nil love, and which we mean to transmit to future generations, unsullied and stain less." Touchstone of Confidence Needed. "Missouri, like Ohio, needs protection. sound .money and public confidence. Yon nave a hundred and hi teen counties in your state, and I understand that there is not a single county that does not pro duce zinc, iron, coal or lead beneath its soil. iCries of "That's right.") What you want is the touchstone of confi dence, which will bring business activity and send every miner with his pick to dig out from the bowels of the earth those treasures of wealth. (Applause.) We want in this country a tariff noliov which will supply the government with sufficient revenue and protect everv worKiugman. ny. .Missouri, away back iu the days of Thomas Benton, was called the bullion state. Has she deteri orated since then? (Cries of "No, no!") Will the great commercial city of St. Louis, with its intricate and delicate threads of trade and commerce, vote for a policy or for a party that will destroy confidence, unsettle values, impair the city's welfare, and produce panics of unprecedented severity? (Loud cries. of "Never!") I do not believe it will. (A voice: "We will give you 30.000 major ity in St. Louis." followed by great ap plause.) A friend from Missouri savs that Missouri will give our ticket 30.000 majority. (Cries of "Xo! St. Louis will give you 30.000 majority.") What an swer will Ohio make to that? (Cries of "150.000.") Ohio answers 150.000. Tre mendous cheering.) Thirty thousand in Missouri is a greater majority than 150, 000 in Ohio. (Cheers.) "This year patriotism is above party. Men love their country more than they love their old political associations. Men this year would rather break with their party than break up their business. (Tre mendous cheering.) I cannot imagine anything that could happen to strengthen the American union more than to have the men of the South aud the men of the North come together and jointly ad minister the government. (Applause.) Let your verdict this year be for hon est money, public security, national tran quility, a protective tariff, and recipro city. (Tremendous cheering and cries of "We will vote right.") And above all, let there sound forth a verdict for this Nation of law . and order and its' en thronement in every corner of the repub lic. I thank you all. and bid you good afternoon." (Great cheering and three cheers for McKinley.) Great Natural Demand for the Cereal, but the White Metal Is a Drug on the Market. While silver for weeks has been drop ping practically ' without interruption from about 70 cents an ounce to less than 5 cents, wheat has been shooting up as if it had wings. It is peculiarly interesting at this time, when Mr. Itryan ami the other soon-to-lie-snuffcd-oiit lights of the free-silver heresy have been cramming a variety of pleasing fictions down the t Intuits of farmers, to call attention to the practical ly simultaneous rise in wheat and drop iu silver. I'robably the free-silver folk will say iu regard to the remarkable rise in wheat about 11 cents n bushel in a month: "What did we tell you? It's as clear as daylight; everybody knows that free sil ver will succeed, hence they are luiving wheat now. as it will go to a dollar at least after Mr. Bryan's election. That's why Europe is buying such ipiautitics of wheat." Won't Work Both Vtay. If this is the free-silver argument for the advance in wheat, why is it that Eu rope is not buyinc silver at (i-!i. cents :n ounce if Mr. Bryan's election will raise us price to .i.'t.' Mr. Bryan's contention has been that it was impossible for wheat to rise as long as me gold standard prevailed. Mr. Bryan knew as well as anv of us that lie was lying when he said that. What docs he say about it now. His silence on the subject is most expansive. Possi bly he is racking his brains to account for it. and it is probable he mav get off something equally illuminating as his ex planation of the gold iin.Mu-t movement. The fact is, this advance in wheat, wholly due as it is to natural causes. ' a stunning blow to the free silver fallacy. It is useless to tell the fanner that he cannot get more for his wheat while we remain on gold standard, when he is receiving 1(1 cents a bushel more for it than he was a month ago. I onsidermg that this lias been one of the stock arguments of the free silver ites. it is well to point out again and agi.in just why wheat has advanced. It is all summed up iu this: The crops here and abroad have been short, the total decrease for the world, according" to ALADDIN'S LAMP OUTDONE.

J .OUfc Americans are in the midst of a mar velous era. Several hundred million dol lars have been addeti to the value of American products iu the last liucty days. The magic of Aladdin is tame by the side of the sober Iruth of modern trade. The wildest dreams of the epos ties of fintism pnlc into insignificance in comparison with the simple fact of to day. Nature is making money for Americans faster than any printing press could do it. The rise iu the prices of the products of American farms means the beginning of a prosperity that needs only the success ot tlie honest dol lar at the November election to guaran tee its permanence. .Most of the chief farm products share iu the advanced prices.

This will explain to everyone exempt chuckle-bended idiots why wiieat has rieu. 'No Munipiiltitioii. There h-is been no manipulation about if. In fact, the speculators have been positively dazed at the advance. An other thing which has indirectly made wheat rise is the fact that the export demand has been so heavy that it has been found impossible to send nil that was required. All the freight room on European steamers has been engaged up to January. The explanation of the decline in silver is as easily accounted for as the rise in wheat. Soon after Bryan's nomination the free-silver shunters kicked up such . a rumpus that speculators both here and abroad thought there was some chance of his success, ami silver advanced on speculative buying to about 70 cents an ounce. It was not long, however, before the holders became convinced that Bry an's chances of success were hopeless, ami they at once began to get rid of their loads. Consequently, as more and more holders of silver saw that they had paid n good price for a white ele phant, and sickened of their bargain, the price of silver gradually sank until today it is quoted at (!4:li cents an ounce. This is considerably lower than it was early last summer, when it was thought improbable that the DeiiNicratie party would come out flat-footed for the free coinage of silver. The day will come when Mr. Bryan and his iik will learn that natural causes alone govern 'the prices of all products. New Y'ork l'ress. Appreciation on Other Products. To these must be added an aggregated appreciation of many millions on other commodities. I'ork. for instance, his ad vanced from its low point by $1.85 a bar- rel. and ribs have advanced nearly a cent n pound. Lard has gone up i.iore than $4 u tierce. Hye has been, ad vanced nearly 10 cents a bushel, flaxseed ' l." cents and barley 8 cents. Cloverseed has scored an increase of $3.25 per hun dred weight. The yearly sales of butter and eggs ex ceed in cash value all the other products of the farm. Butter bns advanced 25 per cent, and eggs 45 per cent. The price of cheese has risen 25 to per cent. White beans are 45 to !50 per cent, higher. Most of these products are in active demand in Europe. They are pouring across the sea in such streams that there ta tit- uliliinln.. o..,,..i. A move them promptly. Even Anstralia and India are sending for the good thincs of the American farm. The sens are covered with regular liners and with tramp steamers flocking to American. shores for the rich freightage. Orchards Fall la Line. But this list does not exhaust the names of the staples that have Bcored sensational gains. The American or chard is coming in for a share of the good times. To the list may be added California dried fruits, such as raisins, prunes, apricots and peaches, which have gained from 15 to 50 ier cent, and are still going up. Canned goods, such as tomatoes, corn and peas, now nn impor tant part ot tlie world s food supply, have shown material improvement in prices. The average man may be blind to the import of higher prices, because of limited information. A slight ad vance in the value of one or two articles in which he may have a personal inter est may have little significance, and when there is such a general rise as is now going on it requires n compre hensive survey of the situation to grasp . 1. . . .. t .1 1 1 : . . . i . i lie tumitcna ui life uotlltltJll 10 me value of the products of the farmer.

Moreover, some of the mines represent no actual investment whatever. Count ing "water" and all. the Elk horn mine has a nominal capital of only'$l,000,000. It has paid dividends amounting to $L 212.000. The Granite Mountain is nomi nally capitalized at $10,000,000. It has already returned in dividends to it's stockholders $12,120,000. Other mines show enormous profits on investments that are largely fictitious. Vet the multi-millionaires who ewn these properties coolly ask the people of the country to pay them incalculable mil lions of additional profit by coining each (Mi cents' worth of their product into $1.20 worth of legal tender money. They ask the couutry thus almost ex actly to double to them the market price of a product already so profitable that it pays them millions every year to produce it. So far as they are concerned free coin-. age would do precisely this. It would enable them to pay a dollar of wages or debt with 51 cents' worth of silver. How far the process would enhance the -general value of the silver dollar no man ran know. But this much is clear: Every penny of the advance, be it much or little, must be paid out of the peo ple's earnings, while every penny of the difference between the new price of sil ver and its mint price will represent so much of robbery from creditors and toil ers. In brief, this great silver trust is a conspiracy among a hundred or so multi millionaire mine-owners to rob the pub- . lie and to levy a tribute upon the wages of everyone who works. Is there any conceivable reason why any workingman. any savings bank de positor, any holder of a life insurance policy, or any other honest man shonld vote for this ring's programme? - EIGHT. 4
