" TARIFFS A TAX,
Cuoth the Parott and Nothing More
Judge Thurman Takes Up the Parrots
Refrain.

PERU, Ind, Oct. Is.
Thurman and party arrived here this z.
NJ. to attend big barbe cue which had been
preparing some time. On their arrival they
we're taken to the opera house which was
packed with an enthusiastic audience, who
greeted hun with prolonged applause.
The democratic demonstration brought
10000 to the city. Judge Thurman spoke
in the little opera house in which 1900 peo-
pie were crowded. After speaking on tariff
he continued: But my friends they these
republican speakers, tell you that this heavy
taxation makes the country rich. As if it
were possible that the country could get
rich by heavily taxing the people. They tell
you it promotes the welfare of every labor
ing man. As if it were possible that the la
boring mans welfare could be promoted by
taxing him on everything he wears from the
crown of his head to the sole of his feet.
They tell you that under this system the
country had wonderful prosperity as if this
was the only country that has prospered, as
if this country had not prospered at far
greater rate than when the tariff was lower,
and they say that this is for the benefit of
the laboring man. That is queer thing, to
look around aud find who are the laboring
men. Does not every man who ever looked

the laboring men in the United States engage
in farming! And for farm labor there is no
protection. How then can a high tariff ben
eft that large proportion of the laboring
men? Then they say the democratic party is
an enemy ofathe laboring man. Why in the
name of all that is good and reasonable, how
can that possibly be? Why, get one thou
sand Democratic voters together wherever
you please from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
and you will find 800 out of thousand to be
Democrats. Applause.) The party is and
always has been and always will be composed
of laboring men. There is not, | affirm,
one single measure adopted for centuries in
this country or anywhere that was not for
for the benefit of the workingman that has
been achieved except by the in
fluence of democratic principles. Applause.
To say this party, founded on the right of
the laboring man and composed of laooring
men, is the enemy of laboring men, is to say
that these men are their own enemy; that
they are set of idiots who ought not to
have voice in the government of the coun-
try. We do not believe that at all. We be-
lieve the laboring men of the country under
stand their interests too well to be hood
winked by this idea that they are to be made
rich by being burdened with unnecessary
taxation.
On the conclusion of his speech Thurman
was driven to the station, and rested in the
car till the train left for indianapolis.

BAD BLOOD
Turns a Broadsword Contest Into a
Fight

NEW HAVEN, Oct Is.
The broadsword contest at Hamilton Park
this afternoon between Brian Lynn of this
city, member of the Connecticut National
Guards formerly member of the Prince of
Wales Hussars and Egyptian Camel Corps,
and Xavier 0rlofski of the German Black
Ifussars, for 5000 aside and the gate receipts
developed 50 much bad blood that Chief of
Police Bollman stopped the fight When
Lynn rode up he saluted Orlofski. The
latter retalisted by giving Lynn a bad cut
across the wrist. This made the crowd very
indignant and the police had hard work to
keep them from mobbng the German. The
contest proceeded in a very exciting manner,
the men slashing as if determined to disable
each other. The New Haven man had the
better of the fight. The score stood, Lynn
points, Orlofski 6. When the men came
together in the next bout Lynn greatly sur
prised the Dutchman by unhorseing him.
Fhe latter became enraged and, rushing up
to Lynn, struck him across the arm. The
crowd made break for Orlofski and the
police had lively time to keep them off.
When quiet was partially restored the Chief
stopped the fight The referee decided the
score, Lynn points, Orlofski and ordered
the fight to be continued at some future
time. Both men claim the gate money.

To Find His villany Exposed and Him

BosToN. Oct. IS.
J oseph Towle, colored, who has kept a
confectionery store on Court street with
John II. Appleton as silent partner was ar
rested this morning at the instigation of Ap
pleton who alleges that Towle has defraud-
ed him of $1,000. 1t seems that Towle went
to Appleton to borrow $1,000, offering secur-
ity of $4,000 in gold, silver and bills Towle
said that this money represented the profits
of his store but that he desired to keep the
amount intact and run the store on borrow
ed money.
Towle was known to have considerable
property, and was, moreover, an eccentric
character and easily made the desired ar
rangements with Mr.. Appleton. What was
supposed to be the $1,000 was placed in the
boxes in Mr.. Appleton's presence and de-
posted in the Safe Deposit Company's
vaults. Appleton's suspicious were aroused
by sudden visit of Towle's to Canada, and
yesterday he had the boxes opened and in
stead of the dils, the gold and the silver,
found only ten dollars, which was wrapped
around bundle of old paper. The other
packages turned out to be old fashioned cop
per cents covered with foil. Towle came
back from Canada to sell his store and was
arrested.

INvIDUAL VIEWS
Said to Eave Prompted the Statements
of the Ottawa Free Press.


OTTAWA, Oct. is.
There is considerable discussion in politi-
cal circles over an article in the London On
tario Free Press of yesterday, advocating the
granting TO American fishermen of the priv
ilege of trans-shipping their fish in bond over
Canadian railroads. Many persons inferred
that as the Free Press is a government organ
the article foreshadowed a change of base by
the Dominion government but it is learned
ON the highest authority that it was al
together unauthorized and in no way indi-
Gated the policy of the government, being
merely an expression of the individual views
Of the matter The line of action of the
government has in no way varied from the
stand taken by the ministers who have spok-
en- on the question since the beginning of the
fisheries dispute aud neither directly or indi-
rectly has there been any suggestion from
the imperial government for any concession
beyond what were made in the treaty itself.
The Dominion government thinks that the
treaty has gone as far in the way of conces-
sions as can be fairly asked for by the
United States or given by the Canadian gov
ernment.

LEAD TOO HEAVY
And Those who Try to Make a Corner
in 1t Fall Beneath the Weight
CHICAGO, Oct. |

CHICAGO, Oct. Is.
From all appearances the gigantic pig lead
trust or corner. has burst AMI with it the
great firm of Nathan Cornwith & Co. For
some time past the prices of lead have slowly
but surely pegged upwards, and the trust,
headed by Cornwith & Co., has been cur
rently reported in the newspapers as being
under the upheaval. The firm is represent
ed in Chicago by Nathan Cornwith, Jr. The
senior member of the firm lives in New
York.
The immediate cause of the collapse of
the firm was the refusal OF the Union Nation
al bank of Chicago to further extend the
time on overdrafts to the amount of SS9, 900.
This sum is said to represent but very
small portion of the firms ndebtedness, and
is only the climax to long series of over
drafts to pay margins to sustain the pig lead
trust.

Arising in the Case OF Cinnamon Coming
from Alaska.
WASHINGTON, Oct. Is

WASHINGTON, Oct. Is.
despatch received al the treasury today
from Collector Hagen of San Francisco, an-
nounced the arrival of the steamer Bertha
from kodack Island, Alaska, with ninety
Chinese laborers. 1t is claimed that the
Chinese had not departed from the United
States. and should be landed.
The collector holds that the voyage from
Alaska to San Francisco was a departure
from and return 10 the United States under
section of the Chinese exclusion law, and
that their landing would be unlawful.
Assistant Secretary Maynard telegraphed
the collector that ''if the laborers are resi-
dents of San Francisco and went from there
to Alaska on an American vessel, sailing
under the American flag, which didn't touch
at any foreign port, and have returned in the
same manner, they may be regarded as never
having departed from the United States, but
the proofs should be so conclusive as not to
admit of doubt.

POLITICAL POINTERS.
It Won't Be Suppressed.

One fact which the free traders carefully
suppress (says the Chronicle of San Fran
cisco) is that the railroad charges for trans
portation are lower in this country than in
Europe and much lower than in free-trade
England. They try to make the farmer be-
lieve that he has TO pay inordinately high
rates for having this hauling done, because
there is tariff on steel rails
but they keep out of sight the important
fact above referred to. We do not claim
that the low transportation rates are entirely
due to protection, but we do insist that had
we not endeavored to systematically develop
our resources in every possible field of in
dustry, charges of railroads for hauling
goods and carrying passengers must neces-
sarily have been much higher than at pres
ent, for the simple reason that the transpor-
tation business cannot be done as cheapy on
n lara scala
