Turner meets the accus:Uions of the discharged employé McElroy, mude in the Free Press of üct 3J in a prompt, manly andconvincing manner. He provesevery assertio of McElroy to be false, and places liim on a pedestal of contempt beforethe people that would be extremely hutniliating for a man pos8essing the modesty comtnon to the human family. McElroy had better rem al n n New York. The fact that lie signet] every voucher for cvery cent of money expendud or drawn from the treasury doesu't look well for him if there was (iisbonesty anywhere. Ttie people of the state will not be ready tocondeinn a man on such testimony. In fact Mr. Turner has made such a thorough, clear, minute and emphatlc denial, and proven every word of it by the allMavits of the parties interested, that he will niake votes instead of losing them. It is the opinión of people that McElroy's attack is "rood for from 5,000 to 10,000 votes in this state for Mr. Turner. Springlng personal spite work on a man in a political campaign doesn't ahvays work to the advantage of the "springer." Mr. Turner is to be cotigraUiliited upon huving such a "frieiid" is McElroy, for the people think more of him now thun ever hefore. Europe is very mnch stiireti up over the passige of the McKinley bill, and some of their countries propose to boyott llie producta of the ü. S. It is rery aniusing to see this attempted blull", for we can get along without thtir prodücts easier than thcy can do without ours. We are nearly Bfilf BUStftlnlng, and in tlie near future we sh.ill make everytblnK we use by our own faotortei in our own land. For InRtaflCC, we h-ive been dependeDt on Wales for our tin plate and on Gennany for our beet sugar. Alieady since the passugc of thetarilV bill $10,000,000 have been subscribid for tin plate factorles In lïalnmore, CbiOHgO and St. Louis to be starttd fit OllOe, as well as several millions tor new beet sugar milis in Nebraska and VViêOonsIn. These will employ thousaml of slillled ittborers in a new fiulc!, rellevlng the old industries of their surplus and m&ktng more consumers of wlieat, corn and othcr agiicultural products, besides keeping millions of dollars in the country.
