ST. LOUIS STIRRED UP
Over a Conspiracy 10 Rob the
Banks and Residences Of
wealthy Citizens.

ST.. LOUIS, NO., June 9.-The resi-
dents OF East st. Louis have become
thoroughly aroused over the con-
spiracy, recently unearthed, to pillage
the banks aud the residences of the
Weather citizens. The action Of the
Mayor in discharging the entire police
has left the city wholly unprotected,
and what be considered a remedy has
only aggravated the condition of af-
fairs. A meeting OF the representa-
tive citizens was held to-day and a
committee was appointed to wait
upon his honor and request that a
force OF reliable men be appointed to
fill the vacancies caused by the dis
charge of the supposed conspirators.
In the event OF the Mayor refusing, a
vigilance committee will be formed
and patrol Of eight men in each
ward instituted for the protect ion Of
life and property.

they viii have to settle 10 November.
II is utterly impossible to correct the
pslpab'e, fragrant injustice and iu6-
qualities Of the odious tariff, because
neither party has kept fifth with its
pledges. The Republicans refuse 10
give the revision they promised. The
Democrats have made two efforts 10
reduce the tariff to the revenue
standard. Let Republicans move as
the Democrats have moved for tariff
revision, aud sensible, practical reve-
nue. reform can be accomplished.
Think OF the enormiiies OF the pres
emit protective tariff. The number Of
persons engaged in manufactures,
mining and mechanical industries in
1880 was S.s37,ll2. The num-
Der engaged in manufactures ex-
clusively, about 100000. For
the protection Of this 100000 OF
our population, the present tariff
taxes the entire population Of 50,000,-
900. Every dollar Of the duties col
lected on imports is paid by coz
sumen. The average duty on i'm
ported goods is about AZ per cent,
and the consumer pays this. With
out this duty he could buy the inn
ported article AZ per cent. cheaper.
But the government collects from
consumers nearly $lOO,OO0,O0O more
than it needs to protect the rich few
manu- 'acturer5 at the expense of the
many other industries. In other
words, the government sustains the
manufacturing interests Of the coun-
try by collecting money 1t does not
want, And this is the tariff measure
which the Congress OF the United
States refuses TO revise. There will be
a howl in other States besides Maine.

THE CHICAGO HOLOCAUST.
The Inquest on the Bodies Of the
Victims Resumed,

CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 9.-The inquest
on the victims Of Monday mornings
FIRE on Canal street was resumed to-
day at the county hospital. There
were few developments that threw
any light on the catastrophe. John
Durkin, who was arrested on suspicion,
is a harmless looking workman, and
claims that he left Chicago at noon
Sunday aud went to Joliet, where he
slept with another man, and went to
work Monday. The inquest will be
resumed tomorrow. DuTkin will re-
main in charge of the police, although
there is nothing at all to connect him
with the CT me. The theory most
strongly held is that there has been
bad blood between the Germans and
Irish in the neighborhood OF the Gre.
Fighting was carried on among the
young hoodlums, who, it is thought,
know something about TIE cause and
orig Of the fire.

rHE PEOPLE DIssATIsFIED.

The two great political parties Of the
United States met In National Con-
vention two years sgo and united in
the declaration and pledge to the peo-
pie that the existing tariff should be
revised and the revenues reduced.
Have these pledges been redeemedP
The Republicans have utterly falsi6ed
their plighted faith by refusing to en-
terrain any measures modifying the
tariff lave. They have the power to
ialfill their pledges, as there are more
than enough Democrats ready and
anxious TO aid In tariff reform. The
Democrats have done little better,
as they have proposed tariff revision
aud reform. There is much discon-
tent and unrest among the people.
Both parties have protested their
solemn promises TO the country, and
honest Republicans as well as Demo-
Gratis will, in tones Of thunder, condemn
and denounce such deceit and down.
RICH, treichery. The Democracy Of
Maine, which assembled in State Con-
vention at Bangor a week ago and
nominated a candidate for Governor,

oppressive war tarfi, which produces
nearly 100000, 900 surplus revenue,
is unnecss airy and therefore unjust
