Democratic Candidate Addresses a 'lathering at Esopns—Shows How Infant Industries Have Grown Co lossal and Tariffs Have Kept Pace for Their Protection—The Process of Selllnar Dearly at Home and Cheaply Abroad. Esopus, N. Y., Oct. 22.—1n a speech eii the tariff issue Judge Parker re plied to remarks on that subject from men representing six distinct New York delegations which were receiv ed at Rosemount to-day. The day was not pleasant for an outdoor political gathering. The air was chill and dur ing the noon hour a cold rain began to fall. In his speech replying to the dele ga/ons. Judge Parker discussed at tome length the tariff history of the country. Referring to Hamilton’s re port on manufacturers, Judge Parker said: v "Hamilton said that his object was to promote such manufacturers, 'as ■Olll tend to render the United States Independent of foreign nations for mili tary and other essential supplies.’ Poes anybody say that we have not reached that condition? Does anybody contend that the United States is still dependent on foreign nations, for mili tary and other essential supplies? Have ve not frequently heard the note of alarm in Europe at the American in vasion of the world's markets by our manufactured goods and especially those of Iron and steel? Whether Ham ilton's conceptions as to the best way to establish manufacturing industries were right or not, the object which he fought was long since gained, but Hto protective tariff is now vastly higher than any that he recommended 01 Probably conceived of.” '* Designed to lie Perpetual. •lodge Parker referred to the various lariffs of our early history, quoting ( la >''s remark that no one supposed 'he protective fciriff was to be per h lual, upon which the Judge com tnonted thus: Mr. Clay here voiced the prevailing opinion of the country that the pro t" trri trades were no longer In a state o' Infancy. i n fact, the infant indus ' argument was then superseded by ’ lr ' Pauper labor argument. It was contended for the first time that ’ " 111 riff should be used to conipen ; 'll* l American producer for the ,''" r wages that he had to pay as '“"'Pared with his foreign competl- As this argument has at times ," n *' (treat service, although now quite o'".ad bare, T will dwell upon it a P'linent.

Hamilton said that the iron and steel industry was already in a flourishing condition in his time. He was willing nevertheless to give 7% per cent, of protection to steel. It has now $7.84 per ton on steel rails and the ‘steel pool' sells them to Canadians at sl9 per ton, but exacts S2B from "Ameri can purchasers. It is enabled by the tariff to do this, for without the tariff it would be obliged to sell rails at home for the price at which they could be Imported. American railways are thus compelled to pay $7.84 per ton more than a fair price; that is. $7.84 more than the price at which somebody eise would supply them. Ik a Game of Grab. "Why do the railways submit to such extortion? Why do they remain quiet? Why do they not establish rolling mills and make their own rails? Surely the difference of $7.84 per ton, or 40 per cent., is a sufficient inducement to do so. I cannot answer this' question, but if the leaders of the steel rail in dustry are also the controllers of those railways, which are strong enough to defend themselves against extortion, the mystery is explained. In such a case the profits go into the pockets of the controllers of the railways in their Capacity of steel producers, while the other shareholders of the railways and the general public pay the difference. The tariff lends itself to this sort of grab game, and if the men who com mand large capital do not avail them selves of their opportunities they are not so shrewd as they ’are generally supposed tp be. “I cherish no grudges against men because they are rich, nor do I great ly blame them for taking the profits which unjust laws throw in their way, but I protest against the unjust laws. I protest against the men who make them and who 'stand pat.’ whenever anybody proposes to repeal or modify them. •The pauper labor argument' for the tariff has for the most part dropped out of sight. Industries that com pete with foreign markets no longer have the audacity to say that the dif ference of wages prevents them from competing on eqiful terms in the Amer ir>o n markpf "In place of the jfauper labor argu ment, and the infant industry argu ment, and all the other arguments here tofore noted, the home marked argu ment has been substituted and Is now relied on so far as any arguments are used. Ik Hut n Bogy Man. “This assutnees that without the tar iff, and, indeed, without the 53 per cent. Dingley tariff, we should have no home market for the farmers’ prod ucts, or for any other products. This is a bogy to frighten children. So childish is it in view of what Hamil ton told us of the nourishing condition of large branches of manufacturing industry more than a century ago, and or all that has transpired since that no answer to it is required. The hare statement of such an argument carries its own refutation. What happened under the low tariffs of 1846 and 1857? Was there any lack of a home mar ket then? On the contrary, Senator Morrill of Vermont, the father of the Morrill tariffs or the war period, said in a public debate, that the year 1860, which fell within this period, was one of the most prosperous in our his tory Tilts is also the teltlmony of Prof Taussig In his tariff history of the United States, not alone us to the vear 1860, but as to that period gener ally. The same authority tells us that our cotton spinning industry grew more rapidly or prospered more than under the Walker tariff of 1846. rlic Story of Horn*. “The truth Is that the tariff benr tidaries and the 'sfAiul patters' have abandoned argument. They virtually say to us now that- a high protective tariff Is a good thing, per se, and ought to last forever, and by this they mean Ithe present Dingley tariff.

A review of the ten days’ fight ing between the Japanese and Rus sians south of Mukden shows im mense losses to both forces, but a decisive victory for neither. The opposing armies are still fac ing each other, though a distance of several miles lies between them. Offensive operations on the part of the Russians are reported to have been made ten miles from Mukden, and attacks are of fre quent occurrence along the en tire line. No really important ag gressive movements, however, ate announced. Avery heavy engagement is considered certain to occur before many d'ays to the southward of Mukden as a result of the concen tration in that vicinity of immense bodies of the opposing forces. The weather has become very much colder, and great suffering among the soldiers is reported. Washington, Oct. 22.—The Japanese legation to-day received the following cablegram from Toklo: “Marshal Oyama reports that the In vestigation completed after Oct. 22 re garding the Russian losses at the bat tle of Shakhe, shows 500 prisoners and 10,550 dead bodies. The trophies of the battle are thirty-five guns, 6,920 shells, 5.574 rifles, 78,000 ammunition, etc. The dead of the enemy were all buried with military honors. “The Russian total casualties are es timated at 60,000. “Further investigation is proceed ing.” RUSSIAN LOSSES ARE ADMITTED AS 40.000. St. Petersburg, Oct. 22, 4:50 p. m. —There is no news of fresh fighting to day. Gen. Sakharoff reports under this morning's date that last night passed very quietly. There were no collisions. The war office is not in a position as yet to give figures of the casualties in the long battle below Mukden, but everything indicates that the Russian losses reached 40,000, the figure given by the Associated Press correspondent at Mukden. Another correspondent places the loss on both sides at 80,000. The war office is convinced the Jap anese losses, while below those of the Russians, were almost as heavy. WAR DOGS IN LEASH SHOWING THEIR TEETH. Neither Ja pa Nor Rnaalam Tow on the Offensive. Tokio, Oct. 22. 9 a. m.—The armtes of Ovama and Kuropatkin continue to confront each other, but neither has again assumed the aggressive. According to a report from the Jap anese Manchurian headquarters tele graphed yesterday, it is reported that the Russians are massing a heavy force against the right army, but the purpose of this force Is riot indicated. The report says: “In the direction of our right army two hundred of the enemy’s cavalry crossed the Taitse river. They seem to have advanced to the westward. “Two battalions of Russian cavalry are posted In the neighborhood of Kao kuanchai, and It is reported that 20,000 Russians are assembling in the vicinity of Kaotai pass. “In the direction of the center and left armies the enemy occasionally sends an artillery Are and also fifteen centimeter mortars. “At 5 o'clock In the afternoon of Oct. 20 the enemy posted In the neighbor hood of Sufarigtal began shelling the Shakhe railway station. “We captured 120 rifles and other munitions near f'hangllngpao on the night of Oct. 20." SAYS JAPS’ RETREAT v WAS PRECIPITATE. ftakharnff Reports on ( aptnrei the Itilssinn* Made. St. Petersburg. Oct. 22.—Gen. Kuro patkin, in a dispatch to Emperor Nicholas, under date of Oct. 21, says: "The Japanese retired from the vil lage of Shakhe at nlghtgall Oct. 20. Thursday night passed quietly along the entire front.” Lieut. Gen. Sakharoff. In a dispatch to the general staff, says: “The retreat of the enemy from Shakhe was precipitate. We found In the village arms, munitions and provi sions which had bsen abandoned by the Japanese, who also left behind In our old artillery position one cannon, four limbers and a wagon full of in struments they had previously cap tured from us. “Hines ths battls of Oot. 16 we hava captured altogether fourteen Japanese guns. Including nine field placet, five mountain guns and have retaken one of our own loet suns “There was no fighting Oct. 11 on the front of the Manchurian army.” THINKS THE FIGHTING PRACTICALLY A DRAW. Advantages Thnt Were Gained by- Gen. KuroputWln. St. Petersburg. Oct. 22, 11:05 p. m.~ With the of the week the semi panic produced by the heavy reverse sustained by Gen. Kuropatkin’s army last week has. in a great measure, dis appeared. and there Is a muoh more cheerful feeling pervading the War Of fice. The general disaster which threatened to engulf the Manchurian army has been averted by the results of the ten days of almost continuous fighting, which to-night is practically a draw. Gen. Kuropatkin has again display ed consummate skill in preventing Field Marshal Oyama from reaping the fruits of victory. By withdraw ing his shattered left wing under shel ter of the right center, he succeeded in the gigantic task of taking 30.000 wounded off the field of battle, and more than this, according to all Indi cations, he reorganized and reformed his broken legions and again confronts the Japanese across the Shakhe river. That Kuropatkin, after losing close to 40.000 men, was able to resume the offensive within a fortnight, constitutes a feat in military history. There was an impression early in the week that Gen. Kuropatkin was concentrating his forces on his right and center to avoid being driven off the line of the rail road, which might have embarrassed the retirement of his left, but now he has umnle time to withdraw, and the situation shows more determination than ever to secure strong advanced positions across the Shakhe. It is knoflm that the left has actually push ed forward slightly, and the idea that operations contemplate, only rear guard actions seems negatived. The general staff acts rather mys teriously. It simply attributes the ces sation of operations to the natural ex haustion of both sides, but does not of fer a clue to what it anticipates. It is significant, however, with what satis faction the news of the capture of Shakhe town, at the intersection of the Shakhe river, and the Mandarin road, was received here. The taking of the town is considered an important strategical gain placing Gen. Kuro p'atkin in complete mastery of both sides of the Shakhe river between the railroads and the Mukden-Bentsiaputze roads and assuring his communica tions against the possibility of being cut off from the south. The only point on the left bank of the Shakhe river remaining in the hands of the Jap anese is Lamuntung, within rifle shot of the flailrsad bridge. The bridge has presumably been confounded with the Shakhe station, five miles north, the report that the Russians had bombard ed the station applying 'to the bridge, as the station is now beyond the sphere of their operations. The heavy concentration of both Rus sians and Japanese between the Man darin road and the railroad makes certain a tremendous collision at this point. The Associated PresSs learns that a portion of the Eighth Army Corps, which h’ad reached Harbin, is hurrying southward. The weather has again become clear, but is very cold and the soldiers are reported to be suffering. A correspond ent wires that twelve Japanese were found Friday night by a detachment of Cossacks. They were unconscious and half frozen and were conveyed to the Russian camp, where they were car ed for. FRESH AMMUNITION FOR BOTH ARMIES. Hostile Forces Preparing for a Fresli Struggle. With the Russian Eastern Army Headquarters, by way of Mukden, Oct. 22.—80th armies remain practically inactive. The Russians have reoccu pied Tantsiaputzy. The Japanese hold a position on high ground sloping down to the Shakhe river. There is continual outpost fighting and snip ing, and the 'batteries occasionally en gage in a duel westwards. Gen. Mist chenko fought a brisk engagement Oct. 20. He reports progress and the cap ture of guns. The two armies are receiving fresh supplies of ammunition. There is an indication of an early renewal of hos tilities, with the Russians taking the offensive. A rough estimate of the Russian losses during the recent battles places them at 45,000, of which 10,000 were killed. The correspondent of the Associated Press who filed this disi>atch was at tacked by Chinese bandits while rid ing to rejoin his corps. NO CHANGE OF FRONT REPORTED AT TOKIO. Japanese Left Nr my Shown to Have Taken Forty-three Guns. Toklo, Oct. 22. 4p. m.—A telegram received from Manchurian headquar ters says: "On Oct. 21 there was no change re ported In the front of all our armies. "Further Investigation shows the number of guns captured by our left army to have been forty-three, the left column taking twenty-seven, and the right column sixteen. The wag ons, munitions, etc., which have been captured, have not yet been counted. Scouts dispatched from the left army on the night of Oct. 20 discov ered the corpses of 200 Russians west of Cha ngliangpan." REPORTS ALL WELL AT PORT ARTHUR. St. Petersburg.

Ijiw Permit* the Governor to ao Mollify an Order of Dismissal as to Permit the tine It Alms nt to Hold Other Thnn Military Positions— Order Helming to Captain Illteh Mailed at the Capital and NYHI Prohnhly Hem'll Him To-day. Atlanta, Oct. 22.—Adjt. Gen. S. VV. Harris to-day issued the order dis missing from the military service of the state Capt. Robert M. Hitch of Company I. who was found guilty by court-martial of various charges in connection with his services at States boro on the occasion of the lynching of the two negroes, Reed and Cato. Cop ies of the special order were mailed to night to Capt. Hitch and Col. G. A. Gordon, commanding the First Regi ment. Until they are in the hands of these officers the adjutant general declined to give them out for publi cation. It is known, however, that the or ders distinctly specify that Capt. Hitch, while he is disbarred from holding military office in the state, may hold any civil office to which ho may be elected. The new military law provides that dismissal from the service by court martial shall disqualify the officer so sentenced from holding military or civil office. There is some doubt as to the constitutionality of this last provision with regard to civil office, though the matter has never been tested. The law permits the Governor, however, to modify his order in such cases so as to remove disability as to civil office, and this the Governor has ordered done. The orders suspending and repri manding Lieut. George A. Moll and reprimanding Lieut. H. L. Griner will probably be issued Monday. The total cost to the state of the court-martial was about $1,400. It is stated that the total cost of the Statesboro affair, including transpor tation of the troops, the court of in quiry and the court-martial, was about $3,000. Lieut. GrntlHcil Over Ills Ariinltlnl. Statesboro, Ga., Oat. 22.—The news of the acquittal of Lieut. Cone and the light sentence of Lieut. Griner by the court-martial was favorably re ceived here. Lieut. Cone said to-day: "I have been placed to some disadvantage and spent more money than I cared to spend in the trial, but I cannot feel other than pleased nt. the out come of my own case and more es pecially because I was the only offi cer acquitted. I do not think this will injure our company here, but on the contrary my acquittal will add anew life and with the co-operation of our members it seems we ought to have a better and larger company than be fore.” COULDN’T POKE FUN AT GERMAN OFFICERS. Nobleman Writer Tried It anil Was Fined. Berlin, Oct. 22. —Count Wolff Von Raudtssln, a kinsman of Rear Admiral Von Baudissin, who commanded tho imperial yacht Hohenzollorn during the visit of Prince Henry of Prussia, to the United States, has been tried in the Criminal Court here for libelling the officers’ corps of the Fusilier Guard Regiment belonging to the Household troops by satirizing them in a novel, entitled “First Class Men.” Count Von Vaudissln escaped with a fine of $75, and the publishers of the work were fined SIOO, while the court order ed Ihe destruction of the confiscated copies of the book and the plates. The prosecution whs brought by the state on the ground of the public welfare. ’’First Class Men” deals with the vices and extravagances of officers, their intense caste spirit and the false attitude of society toward the officer class. The entire novel was read in court. Von Baudissin, in his defense, said he did not Intend to refer to any par ticular regiment, but to Ihe whole army. Von Baudissin said the suicide of a young friend, a lieutenant In the army, caused hltn to feel keenly tho wrong of the system prevailing. This youth was over $16,250 In debt, because lenders exaggerated their respect of the officer class and loaned money to the class and not to the individual. IOWA TOWEDSCHOONER IN.

After liis arrest Gray gave bond, and tho same night escaped on a steamer bound for France. United States Marshal Wilson, who arrested Gray, telegraphed Marshal Horr as follows: “I arrested Gray yesterday. Judge absent and United States commissioner hold him under S2OO bond. He jumped the bond, taking a French steamship for Havre at night.” Marshal Horr has reported to thn United States Attorney General and asked that the Department of Justice have Grsy arrested upon his arrival in France, and held for extradition. Gray formerly lived In Jacksonville. The accompanying picture Is an ex cellent likeness of him. His arrest was brought about through the per sistent efforts of United States post - offico Inspector Fred D. Peer. Gray’s Clever Scheme. The alleged frauds committed by Gray consisted In obtaining large quantities of goods from various mer chants in Havannah by falsely repre senting himself to be Nathan Mayo, a merchant of Surnmerfleld. Fls., and having these shipped to Nathan Mayo at Rosewood, Fla. It is charged that Gray managed to obtain possession ot the goods In Jacksonville and sold them at discount for cash, pocketing the proceeds. As far as known, Gray came to Flor ida four years ago from New York state. He located In Ocala and opened a barber shop. He made a number of friends In Ocala and surrounding coun try. He moved to Gainesvills In the early part of 1902, and for severs I months was s barber there. Later he secured s position as traveling sales man for the wholesale grocery house of Eager, Skinner ft Cos. of Jackson ville.
