The Tariff.
BY HENRY wATTERsON.

The American farmer, for example
to say nothing of the millions of Amer
leans engaged in mercantile and pro-
fessional pursuits, who are in the same
boat with the farmer-has no protec-
ton for his products. He pays relative
ly as high for the labor he employs as
the American manufacturer. Indeed,
the difference between the wages he
pays his work-people and those paid by
his foreign rivals TO their wOrk-people
is often greater than the difference in
wages paid respectively by American
and European manufacturers. Yet the
American farmer maintains q success
full competition with "the pauper labor
of Europe" Why is this? and is it not
an answer to the plea for protection to
the manufacturer which is neither CIV
en- to nor asked by the farmer?
The farmer takes his products abroad
and sells them at profit in the home
market of his foreign rival. But he
cannot purchase in that market what
he wants without paying bounty In
the form of protective duties, collected.
the moment he TOUCHES his native
shore, for the benefit of the American
manufacturer. In other words, he is
compelled By law TO pay, out of what
he gets for his unprotected produce,
tax to enable his citizen, the
protected manufacturer, to make pro-
fit on what he produces. What reim-
bursement does the farmer get for his
forced tribute to the manufactures?
He gets nothing. He Is told that he
gets a home market tor what he has to
sell, and cheaper market for What he
has to buy. If he did, that would end
| the argument. But he does not, be-
cause if he had not exhausted the home
market, he would have nothing to send
| abroad to sell, ahd if the home manu-
facturer could and did undersell the
foreign market from which the farmer
is excluded by protective duties, what
need would the home manufacturer
have for those duties? They are levied
to enable him to make a profit against
his foreign rival. and to the e'eXtent OF
bis wants the Am merioan farmer must
pay the difference,
| No casuistry, supported by great
array of figures Can alter this fact
which is perfectly understood by the
American farmer. That rich mineral
deposits invite population, and thai
their development makes wealth, nc
one will deny. The discovery of gold
in California is case in point. AS by

to this last report. India only shipped
10 per cent of wheat, while the United
States shipped 5l.1 per cent, Russia
1876, Australia SO; all other countries
23.5. So you see that the United States
of America furnished more than one
half of the bread used in all the other
countries of the world not of home

And now let every farmer take hold
In the year 1888, with renewed courage,
with the assurance that there shall be
seed-time and harvest as long as the
earth shall last. For you shall reap If

numbers fifty members in Nevada. and
40 members in the county outside the city.
The meetings are held az private houses and
the number of those attending is curtailed,
in order to prevent the size Of the crowd ct

MURDERED AND ROBBED.
Two Paymssters Killed and Robbed {
S12, 900 by Highwaymen.

Two Payma.tsrs Killed and Robbed of
$4,000 by Hishwaymen.
WnKEsBARRE, Pa, October ia most
daring murder and robbery occurred this
morning, a few miles from here on the
WiIkesbarre mountain. Paymaster John r.
Mcclure, and Stable Boss Hugh Flanagan,
of Philadelphia, and their horse were shot
dead and q sum Of money amounting to
$1,000 in their possession, was taken by the
murderers. The murdered men were on
their way to pay the workmen oaMoF adden's
new branch of the Lehigh Valley railroad,
between Mill creek and LausauR. They
were riding in q buggy through q strip
of woods 20 the place where the pay
ments were to be made, when the highway
men stepped out of the woods and crying
'shait," they shot the horse dead and also
both the paymasters. The money vas in q
box and was composed of gold and silver,
which they took and fed for parts un-
known. The daring act has caused great
excitement here, and all efforts are being
made by the police, detectives and citizens
to capture the Williams.
The bodies of j. 3. Mcclure and Flanagan
were discovered at about quarter to II
O'Clock by Contractor McFadden, of Phila-
delphia, who was coming from his Office at
Juniper creek about mile and half from
the scene of the tragedy. He first saw the
empty buggy and the horse bleeding from
gun shot wounds. He next discovered
Mcclure, below the wheels quite dead and
with bullet holes in his head. McFadden
then returned to his Office for his foreman,
and the two went to the scene Of the
tragedy. Both armed themselves. On
reaching the lonely spot they found Flani-
gan's body lying alongside the road. He
mad been shot in the head. The money.
81, 600 in currency and 81, 600 in specie,
which had baen carried in leather satchel
was gone. This money had been drawn out
of the Wyoming National bank Of this city
at 10 O'Clock this morning. Both Mcclure
and Flannigan were we'll armed. l. il
thought they were shot from ambush.
Great excitement prevails. One Of Q par
ty of Hungarians, driving furiously through
tbe upper part Of this city, this afternoon,
fell out of the wagon, and was arrested on
suspicion Of being connected With the trag-
edy. He gave the name of John Robbins
and said that he and his companions were
on their way from Plymouth to the railroad
depot. AL were drunk and It is not likely
that they are the assassins. Local detectives
and policemen are ont, aud kilograms con-
corning the assassination have been sent to
all points.

A Prominent Knight Intervieved.

PrTTsBURG, Pa, October 18.-W. r. Lewis,
master workman of the miners national dis
trict assembly, Knights of Labor, is in this
city. Mr.. Lewis il one of the Knights
whose name has been prominently men
toned in connection with the election for
general master workman of the order. In
an interview he said he would not accept
the Office if rendered him.
"If Mr.. Powderly desires it he will be re-
elected, but I have understood from him he
would not be candidate"
sis there any foundation for the charges
that Candidate Barry has made about the
order?"
"Yes, there is truth in what Barry says,
but 1t is not proper to have them published.
They are truths that do not concern the
public. By these truths l mean the differ
ences. existing between the officers, the diff
feIent pollces that they advocate, and SO on.
These are matters. however, that should be
settled by the general assembly. If tho Or
der of the Knights of Labor cannot reform
itself from within, it does not occur to me
that there can be reform outside or among
those opposed to it. It is true that the order
is reduced in membership"

house met this morning. After prayer by
the chaplain, Mr.. Farquhar, of New York,
rose and called the chairs attention to rule

cause the journal TO be read on the appear
ance of q quorum. He was unwilling that
certain members should absent themselves,
while others like himself had remained here

two motions to adjourn which had been
treated somewhat cautiously and it was time
that the house should come to some reason
able arrangement as to whether members

be elsewhere. and there wss no reason for
his absence on account of sickness. shoald

the members were willing to stay to trans
act the skeleton business. He felt that il
wasn't only disgrace but an affront to the
intelligence OF congress to have too insiR-

the movements OF the political parties.
Mr.. Richardson OF Tennessee, demanded
the regular order, and the speaker pro tenn

Mr.. Farquhar objected, and called attention
to the fact that there vas no quorum
