SUMMER SCENES. -i 1 si. ELECTIHE EXTOLS EPU CITIZENS ARM TO DEFEND AM SrlSlIWJ SAYS REPUBLICAN PARTY STANDS ON ITS RECORD THE FIRST GUN IN NATIONAL CAMPAIGN LOADED foER-HEATED, AIR AND MEANINGLESS PLATITUDES. WILL NOPSTAND FOR TARIFF REVISION. tf MV Danville.

August 16. The conven- Eighteenth Illinois congressional district renomlnatsd Joseph G. Cannon-foe the 'eighteenth consec-atlre time hls afternoon. The crowd wasjthe largest in the history of the party, and "Uncle Joe" received an ovation. There was great enthusiasm over the prospective candidacy of Can-nonf or -president, i The national campaign was formally launched with the address of Speaker Cannon, made after his renomlnation.

The speaker said: Chairman and Gentlemen of the Convention: I you for this expression of confidence and I cogratulate you on the prosperous condition of the country under Republican administration. The Republican party has followed the teachings In the parable of the wlae servant who returned to his master the talent Intrusted to his care multiplied ten-fold. Clothed wkh re sponsibility for the administration of the government of SO. 000. 000 people we have sought to jnake a return that will benefit those who intrusted the talent co our care.

We have succeed ed in making two blades of grass grow luxuriantly under Republican admin Istration where one grew before under the Democratic administration. Since the election of William Mc- Kinley as president, the, business of the; country terial Interests of all the people have become better than ever before in all our history, aje. better than the condition of any people anywhere on earth In any time since history began. This is under the policies of the Re publican party as enacted into law by congress and executed by the pres ldent. Attribute this condition to what cause you may, speculate about it as you nil), call it confidence in men or measures the fact remains that it exists and that there never has been recorded anywhere such industrial de velopment and such a wave of pros perity as has swept over che United States In the last decade.

THE DINGLEY TARIFF LAW. Under the administration of the Dingley tariff law there has been a greater development In all forms of In. dustry than has ever been reached under any other revenue law since the government was organized. The schedules of that law are not sacred, but the principle there embodied. Is fundamental.

Since the enactnient of the first revenue law under "Washington down to the present time the periods of prosperity have been under pro-tection and the jerlods of adversity have been under the policy of free trade or for revenue only. The remarkable prosperity under the Dingley law has not been for one class, but for all the people It has touched the artisan, the farmer, the manufacturer and the common labor -ofthe country. All have felt Its 'beneficial influences, and I measure my words when I say that the production from all kinds of business enterprises has doubled since that memorable year of 1896, when the country its distress turned to "William McKinley, the champion of protection, ag the advance agent of prosperity. The capital employed In our Industries has doubled; the total wages paid for labor have more than doubled in these ten years; the farmers have lifted their mortgages nnd are enjoying the cm-barassments of a surplus In the sav-ftigs banks; and laborers have ceased to hunt for Jobs and have become the hunted "by Jobs. In spite of large immigration' from other lands, there Is more -work than workers In" this country today.

Capital Is cheaper than ever before and monsy can be had at less interest than anywhere else In the world. The sun of prosperity Is shining on every part of our Immense stretch of territory from the Atlantic "to the. Pacific and from the Great Lakes to the Gnlf aad the Rio Grand. "We are at peace with all the world, and our influence for peace, whether tt be between two great powers In the orient, or among the amali republics on 'the American continent, Is felt throughout the world. The record servant istits best and only certificate for continued JSk.w?, employment, and the iiepumican as a servant of the, people.

stands today in this campaign square-ly ricord; Werhav no census figures us to bus iness conditions in 1S96, but we have them for 1S90, 1900 and 1905, and to supplement these we have the official message of President Cleveland, complaining that unparalleled business distress and lack of confidence marked the greater part of his admfnlscra-tlon. "We also have the official state ment of, Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, that more than 3,000.000 worklngmcn were without work in 1S94 ad 1895, and that work did not return to them until 1S97. According- to the census of 1890, there were $6,525,000,759 capital in vested in manufacturing industries In the United States, whereas, according to the official figures, there were In 19J5 $13.12.607.090 so Invested. The average number of wage earners In 1890, as given by the census, was (and Mr. Gomperj said were without work in 1S94 and 1835).

In 1905 the number was 5,492,178, not including those in the hand trades. The total wages paid In ,1890 amounted to $1,891,209,696, and in 1905 to $2,661. 409.S5S. The value of the output of our manufacturers in 1S90 was $9.372, 378.S43 and in 1905, $14,873,818,425, not in cluding that from the hand trades. Taking the testimony of President Cleveland and Samuel Gompers as to the deplorable condition in 1S94.

1S95 and 1896, it will be readily seen that the Industrial development of the country, both capital, 'hajTbeen at "the rate of 100 per cent In the ten years. There has been much discussion and no little confusion over the effort to compare the relatle increase in wages and cost of liing lit the last few ears. The labor bureau of the United States in its last bulletin on this question made a ery careful analjsis for the fourteen ears from 1890 to 1904. In that comparison and analysis It was shown that the weekly earnings of all employes had increased 53.4 per cent from 1S94 to 1904, and that the retail prices of food products had increased In the same time only 12 per cent. This, I believe, is the only careful and scientific investigation that has been made of the subject.

The Republican party has always followed the maxim. "Plant the factor" by the farm," that there may be the closest possible exchange between the two great bodies of producers. One of the old complaints here in the West was that the manufacturing was principally in the East, but the continuation of a settled policy of protection has gradually extended the In. dustrlal development to the West and the South, bringing agriculture and manufacture closer together. The new statistics of manufactures compiled by the United States census office last year show more clearly any previous census the general benefit of the protective policy.

The prosperity that has come to the country tinder the Dingley law has not been spasmodic nor sectional, except that It has produced greater extension ot manufacturing Into the Central, 'Western and Southern states. This new cenus shows first that there has been a larger per cent' of Increase in the capital put into manufacturinTnlants in the last five years than there has been In the product of these indus The actual Increase In capital was $3,700,000,000 or 41 per cent greater than the capital Invested In 1 AAA nV a nfltnnl Innran in AiirtMit avv iiic tuvtvacc in uuvyuv was $3,364,000,000, cr about 30 per cent over that of 1900. Capital has grown confident of Its Investment nnd has turned back Into the plant a larg- Jer share of Its earnings, to increase the demand for labor and ultimately Increase the output. This census also shows that In the five years from 1900 to 1905 the Increase In the number of wage earners employed was 16 per cent over the number In 1900. and the total wages paid 30 per cent greata-; In other words, the Increase in the total wages paid was almost twice the ratio of the Increase In employment.

To my mind there coald be no mora" complete answer to the complaint that wages have not advanced since 1900. But the most significant figures In thls'new census are those which show where the greatest Increase' In Indus- R. B.

UNPROVOKED Facts Vary From First Account of horsevviiipping of Attorney Timmons, YUMA, Aug. IC Owing to the fact that several territorial newspapers havi published misleading accounts of the recent trouble here, which culini-nared In an assault with a horsewhip by Mrs.

Charlie Meadows, upon Attorney W. F. Timmons, a statement was obtained from the latter today regarding the sensational etent. "Arizona Charlie" Meadows and his wife are said to be responsible for thp first accounts of the affair, rushing to the newspapers to get their story into print before Timmons ould state his side of the case The assault upon Timmons, which was entirely unprooked, occurred at night on a deserted road, instead of on a peopled public thoroughfare, as the lurid newspaper accounts'' sent out asserted. Being alone and unarmed he was forced to Submit to the indignity, which was and is universally denounced by the public as an outrage.

The assault was the outcome of the bringing of a charge of perjury against Meadows, the complainant being Mrs. Frankel, whose attorney Timmons was, and that circumstance also doubtless inspired the threat made by Meadows while he had the attorney ccvered with bis gun, that unless the sum of $500 In dispute between Meadows and Mrs Frankel, were forthcoming on the following day, he would kill both Timmons and Frankel. This threat and the subsequent events occasioned and justify another explanation In justice to the assaulted attorney. It has heretofore been simply stated that the cases against Mrs. Frankel and Meadows had been iMs-mlssed and their differences adjusted, leaving the inference that Trmmoni.

under the Influence of Meadows' threat, was a party to the compromise. Ae a matter of fact the matter was compromised without Timmons' consent and In the face of his strong protest. Had has wishes and idvlce not been overruled in fact, had the matter not been settled without his knowledge the case would have been events occasioned Justify another made by Meadows-.
