II REPUBLICANS * IS GREATEST HARMONY
Senator Allison's iarriff Plank Endorsed by Convention —
Sands for Protection, Reciprocity, Control of the : J HM\j-
Trusts, and Ratification of Cuban Ireaty
wr~ (By the Associated Press.)
DE8 MOINES, July 1.—The utmost
harmony prevailed In the republican
state convention, which convened here
ht 11 o'ctfftck today with George D.
Perkins as temporary chairman. In
the district conventions held before
the state convention met the stand-
patters, who were favorable to the
tariff plank, drawn up by Senator Al-
lison, succeeded In naming a majority
of the committee on resolutions. A full
ticket will be nominated with A. B.
Cummins for governor; John Herr,
lieutenant governor; Charles A. Bish-
op, for judge of the supreme court,
and D. J. Palmer for railroad commis-
sioner. All are present In the cum-
bents. The Allison tariff plank fol-
lows:
"We reiterate our f"lth in the his-
toric policy of protection. Under its
Influence our country, foremost in the
bounties of nature, has become fore-
most In protection. It has enabled
}ie laborer to successfully insist upon
good wages and has induced capital
to engage in production with a rea-
sonable hope of a fair reward. Its
vindication is found in the history
of its success and the rapidity with
which our national resources have been
developed and our industrial indepen-
dence secured, and we heartily renew
our pledge to maintain It.
"The tariff rates enacted to carry
this policy into effect should be just,
fair and impartial, equally opposed to
foreign control and domestic monopoly,
to sectional discrimination and Indi-
vidual favoritism and must from time
to time be changed to meet the vary-
ing conditions incident to the progress
of our industries and their changing
relations in our foreign and domestic
commerce. Duties that are too low-
should be increased and duties that
are too low should be increased and
duties that are too high should be re-
duced.
"We endorse the policy of recipro-
city as the natural complement of
protection. Reciprocity between na-
tions is trade for mutual advantage
and both sides must give and take.
Protection builds up domestic indus-
try and trade and secures our own
market for ourselves; reciprocity builds
up foreign trade and finds an outlet
for our surplus.
"We Approve the trenty with Cuba
recently ratified as conferring substan-
tial benefits upon both cennturles and
urge that the remaining Btepa neces-
sary to make it effective be promptly
take*.
"We believe that large corporations
commonly called "trusts" should be so
regulated and supervised both in their
organization and operation that their
evil tendencies may be checked and
their evil practices prevented. In many
instances they are efficient industrial
instruments and the natural outcome
of an Inevitable process of economic
evolution. We do not desire their de-
struction, but insist that they shall be
so regulated and controlled as to pre-
vent monopoly and promote competi-
tion, and In the fullest measure sub-
serve and advance the public good.
"The patriotic and resolute course
of the president In hid' recommenda-
tions to congress upon this subject and
upon the related subject of further
regulation of Interstate commerce
commands our confidence and admira-
tion and recent legislation of congress
in harmony with his recommendations
meets our hearty approval."

GREAT CONSUMER
Enormous Increase in Imports of Manufac
turers Materials
EVIDENCES 0E PROSPERITY
!tome Consumption Increases the Demand
—-Slight Increase In Exports for
Same Period
(By the Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, July 1.—The growth
of the consuming power of the United
States in this period of business activ-
ity Is illustrated by the figures of the
treasury department bureau of sta-
tistics, showing the Importations and
the exportation* by great groups dur-
ing the eleven months ended with May
30, 1903.
The figures show that, while th« ex-
portation of manufactures has Increas-
ed only $2,000,000 a* compared with the
corresponding months last year, the
Importation of manufactured articles
and materials has Increased $66,000,000
as compared with last year. As it can
scarcely be presumed that the manu-
facturers of this ountry are import-
ing in excess of their present or Imme-
diately prospective requirements. It
would seem that the increase In manu-
factures which th'.s growing Importa-
tion of materials Indicates is being con-
sumed at home, p'nee exportatolns of
manufactures for the year show no ma-
terial gain.
A rapid increase in the Importation
of manufacturer'* materials as been
the striking chara teristic of th*> fiscal
year about to end. For the eleven
months ending Mhv 30 the total value
of the manufacturer's articles mater-
ial! imported amounted to $4>1 9B1,t(13
gainst $384,775,764 for the name months
of last year. J319." 4.957 for the corres
ponding months ci 1901 and 1363.455.072
for the same months of 1900. Prior to
1900 the Imports of manufacturer's ma-
terials had never touched the $300,000,-
000 line, except In 1893 when they were
$30,084,795. Comparing 1903 with 1890.
the manufacturers materials Imported
have nearly doubled In value, those of
the eleven months of 1890 being In val-
ue $242,437,991. Comparing conditions
in 1903 with 1900, the year of the larg-
est exportation of manufactures it may
be said that the nportntion of manu-
facturer's materials has increased $8,-
000, 000 and the exportation of manu-
factures has in* eased $19,000,000 in
that time during eleven months pe-
riod under consignation.
Not only hn.- tv Import-itIon of mr
ufacturer's mate-.is increased, but the
home production of the great articles
used in manufn< .irlng has also In-
creased. The pr action of pig Iron In
th United States in 1903 amounted t
17.S21.307 long tor as against I3.7S9.242
tons In 1900, an ircrease of over 4.P'
000 tons or over thirty per cent, while
cotton production how? an increase of
oVcr a million bales and wool a gain of
30.000.ft00 pounds, comparing 1903 fig-
ures with 1900.
The principal articles In which the
Importation incr- ise occurs are raw
silk which shows an increase of a mil-
lion and a half pounds or 13 per cent
In the ten months :u which the figures
are in detailed s tements and are at
hand; India rubber which shows an
Increase in quantity of 3 500,000 pounds
in the ten months over the same per-
iod of the preceding year; and Manilla
hemp, which shows an Increase of ov-
er 10 per cent in the amount imported
Fibers as a whole show an Increase of
$4,000,000 comparlr g the eleven months
of the year with those of 1902. Iron In
a partialy manufactured state for use
also shows a lar;re increase.
In American exports the figures will
show that th- t.waviest Increase has
been In farm products. It Is estimated
that these will foot up for the yc.ir
$875,000,000 as against $851,460,312 for
last year. The exports of manufactures
will show a tot* 1 of about $408,643,874
against $403,890,763 for last year.
The figures at hand In the treasury
repartment do not show wthat there
has been a heavy decrease in the Im-
ports of a single article destined to en-
ter Into manufactures in this country.
The Increased importation of such ma-
terial goes through the entire list of
possibilities, from fiber grass to hair
and from rough plate glass to manu-
factured rattan.
In view of the action of congress in
puting coal on the free list last winter
because of the coal strike, a study of
the Importations of coal Is Interest-
ing. In the fiscal year of 1902 only '
tons of anthracite coal were Imported
into the United States. This year 207,-
564 tons were Imported. In 1902 the
Importation of bituminous coal amount-
ed to 1,793,"204 to This year 3,446,116
tons were imported.
fHE BIGGEST EVER
Kansas Wheat Cr- p likely to Beat Big

(By Associated Pro s),
TOPE K A, July 1.—Secretary F. D.
Cobum, of ths Kansas agricultural de-
partment, Issued .i comprehensive re-
port today, shoeing the condition of
Kansas crops. It follows:
Reports of correspondents from well

Indicate that the ores, of winter wheat

Ms Conditio^ Is Quite uniformly excel*

At approximately the same stage In
the plant's development that year, the
general average condition of the state's
winter wheat in 1902 was 82. on 6,-
24*5.547 acres, which bore the largest
crop In the state's history (90,133.09ft
bushels). This year's m a that will be
harvested, much of which is now cut,
Is greater, and its average condition
-•even points higher. Weather condi-
tions for the past ten day# have been
favorable for its rapid reaping. No
threshing as yet has been done, and
It Is too early to definitely determine
quality, but. with few exceptions here
and there, the heads aiv reported as
well developed and filled. Cool, wet
weather delayed ripening, and to that
extent harvesting Is correspondingly
late, beginning In some of the more
southern counties only last week,
while harvest for the state is ihree to
four weeks backward.

OMAHA, NEB., July t.—Reports re-
ceived at noon at the Pacific headquar-
ters this morning from Hanna, Wyom-
ing of the progress of the rescuing
party in Hanna mines up to 4 a. m.
They state that the rescuers had pene-
trated quite a distance Into the mine
but had recovered no more bodies than
the twenty-eight reported last evening.
Difficulty of securing entrance to the
mine was increased by the smoke and
gas, and it Is now thought that the
matter of getting air into the mine Is
the only hope of rescuing any of the
entombed men alive. An ord*r was re-
ceived In Omaha for 150 coffins which
are being shipped to Hanna. It was
stated, however, that this large num-
ber of caskets was being shlppped to
he used In case of necessity and that
no demand has yet arisen for so large
an order.
HANNA, WTO., July 1.—Of 232 men
who went into the Union Pacific Coal
Company's No. 1 mine yesterday morn-
ing 235 were killed by the explosion of
black damp that occurred at 10.30 a. m.
yesterday. Most of the dead are Fin-
landers and negroes. The members of
the rescuing parties tell of pitiful
scenes about the seventeenth level as
deep as It has been possible to pene-
trate. Some of the survivors were driv
en Insane and fought like fiends gainst
the rescuers*. Da^ed, llstl-'KS survivors
were found sitting on c$rs or lying on
the floor careless of whether they lived
or died. Near the seventeenth level
twenty bodies were found strewn ovei
a pile of debris which the men had
striven to surmount before overcome
by deadly fumes. Some were seared
and blackened by the flames, but uli
had died crawling toward fre.^h air. EU
even rescuers who penetrated this far*
were too weak to bring out a singly
body. For hours the scene at th«
mouth of the level was heart moving^
With clothes and hair awry, rnother%
wives, sweethearts and children hud-
dled together weeping and wringingi
their hands. Many sat on the shattered!
timbers blown from the mouth InsensU
ble to their Btirroundlngs. The most*
frantic pushed to the edge of the gup
and tried to force their way Into thai
slope. An expert who went almost tol
the seventeenth level says the mine
cannot be cleared for a month. It iS
feared that men in lower levels were
torn to pieces by the explosion, which
hurled great timbers high oyer thel
town and 170 feet beyond the moutli
of the stope. Among the dead is Alfred
Hapgood, who turned the first Shove!
of dirt In starting the stope. The fir®
bosses, who had reported all safe be-
fore working time yesterday, met death
while making a second Inspepction. a-
