The sentence, last week, of the eight
Anarchists in Chicago to death, and one
to long imprisonment, was the occasion
OF most picturesque presentation OF their
views of the purpose and execution of the
laws. 1t is strange reading, to one who
entertains the law respecting ideas that
obtain in America. The men were con-
victed of manufacturing deadly bombs;
OF melting other men to the use of them,
and of using them themselves-the three
phases of murder being about equally
divided among the nine prisoners. Some
had done one thing, and some had done
another, and the result of their combina-
hi9n was that seven police lay murdered
in the streets and thirty more were mutt
lated-all in the execution of their sworn
duty, and before they had struck blow
or arrestedAs man. They were killed for
appearing on 4 scene which promised viz
lence, and II moment more was atire
with it. Every one of the men who COM
who had come to America under precise
ly the same conditions from which other
immigrants have risen to opulence. There
was one exception, that of Parsons, who
was born in New Egnlaad, and had, even
longer than the others, enjoyed the oppor-
tunities for advancement that our insti-
tutions give every man. Their speeches
on receiving their death sentence would
have led the listener, who had not heard
the evidence on which they were CONVICT
ed, to the belief that they were to suffer
for a crime committed by the authorities
rather than murder committed by them
selves. One, Augustus Spies, claimed
that his death would be like that of
Socrates, Calico, and Christ, in whose
paths he was ready to follow. Michael
Schwab said be was to suffer for try
ing to elevate man. Adolph Fisher
thought he was TO be executed because be
held certain principles. Louis Lingg,
who manufactured the murderou5 bombs
said he had done it IN order to 'gain educa
for my brothers." Samuel Fielden opened
his speech with quotation from German
poem, and Parsons, the New Highlander
attributed his conviction to ''rancoroni
predjudice." All of the condemned seem
to wholly lose sight of the fact that they
are to suffer for violating the laws made
by the people of free country to govern
themselves as we'll as all corners, and that
instead OF helping human progress they
have violated its fundamental principle
the preservation of human life. The
whole scene was picturesque and theatre
cal and hard to be understood by Amer
leans.

FOR CONGRESS

President Cleveland is SAID TO DE IN FAVOR OF
free trade, and, though majority of his par
ty representatives in Congress voted for the
consideration of the Morrison bill, an avowed
free trade measure, yet the editor of the VIM
DICTATOR will not confess that the Democratic
party is free trade party, or agree that the
tariff question should be made an issue,
though he processes to be tariff advocate
Highland Recorder (I2ep.)
But President Cleveland is not free
trader, and our contemporary can recall no
utterance of his on which. TO sustain his
cit is said" The only utterances he has
made are just the other way. His latest,
on Sept. 9th, to the American Agricultur-
al and Dairy Association considers "the
proper and legitimate care and protection"
of the agricultural interests of the coun-
try "a patriotic duty" and thinks that
demands for it cannot fail to exact just
and appreciative response from those who
make and execute our laws" But our
contemporary knows we'll that there is no.
body in this country!that favors free trade.
In the Republican party, EVarts, Carl
Schurz. Wells, the N. Y. ''Times," the
N. Y. Evening POST" the Chicago Tri-
bune'' and many other eminent Republi-
can statesmen and Journals believe In free
trade Just as in the Democratic party Car
Isle, Morrison, the Louisville journal"
and others believe in it, but none of them
think of applying it as long as debt interest
is to be raised. But all of those named,
both Republicans and Democrats, are for
a lower tariff. With them, the Record
err will find many of its own people, high
in place, President Arthurs last message
the Interest Of manufactures (queer Re-
publican idea this; ism It it?) and an en-
largement of the free list. Secretary Fol-
ger, the Republican Secretary OF the
Treasury. recommended to Congress the
same thing, and. Secretary McCulloch,
another RepublicanSecretary of the Treas
ury, recommended the same thing. That
is what the VINDICAToR has been fight
ing in it's own party and what it fears for
the South. Both the Republican and
pal blC5 udt0 pl0QSou
selves to give the people a revision of the
tariff. In that revision will come the
tug Of war among rival interests in the
Union, and it is in that war we want no
free list covering the products Of Virginia
and no lowering of the revenue to cripple
the great interests of Virginia, to triumph.
The Democratic candidate for Congress
in this district, Capt. Bumgardner, is
pledged to this protection, and that is
what makes it safe for a tariff advocate
of either party to support him. What
sort of tariff issue can you make on a man
running under that pledgef Our cotem
porary must read the platform of his par
ty in Minnesota and he will get better
idea Of what is going on among the Re
publicans Of the Northwest. They want
a revision of the tariff out there so that
taxation on the necessaries of life may
be reduced" Minnesota has no coal
mines and her Republican representatives
in Congress will vote for admitting coal
free. Democratic Capt. Bumgardner will
vote for putting protective duty on it!
