Senator Sherman. of Ohio, 1867
"ln considering SO complicated a sub
iect as a tariff, nothing can be o
deceptive than the application of such
general phrases AS a "prOtective tariff"
ga revenue tariff " ga free trade tariff"
Every law imposing a duty Oh import
ed goods is necessarily a restraint on
trade. 1t imposes a burden upon the
purchase and sale of imported goods
and tends to prevent every importation.
THE EXPRESSION, GA FREE TRADE
TARIFF" INVOLVES AN ABSURDITY. If
you converse with intelligent men
engaged in the business OF manufac-
turing they will tell you that they are
willing to compete with England.
France, Germany, and all the countries
of Europe at the old rate of duty. If
you reduce their product to a specie
basis, and put them on the same foot
ting they were on before the war, the
present rates of duty would be too
high. 1t would not be necessary for
scarce any branch of industry to be
protected to the extent of your present
tariff law. They do not ask protection
against the pauper labor of Europe,
but they ask protection against the
creation Of your own laws"

moor, the present County Clerk who, to
compass his own election and that of his
associates, disfranchised some one hun
dred and ninety-four Democratic voters
at the election of two years ago, abusing
his official functions to accomplish this
great wrong. A Congressional Commit
tee showed its sense Of this great outrage
by counting the votes of all the men
thus disfranchised who rendered their
votes, reducing General Vandever's plu-
rality for Congress from 55 to 80. By
this decision the Committee, composed
of nine Democrats and six Republicans,
without dissenting vote, pronounced
Mr.. Dunsmoor political buccaneer. II
is true that his action gave to General
Vandever seat that morally belonged
to his opponent, but there are even some
Republicans who will resent this action
of man sworn to do his duty and who
ought not to have the hardihood to face
any body of electors, in his ambition tc
become political Barnacle.
We shall have much to say of every
phase of the Republican ticket as the
campaign progresses.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
LIBERAL, Kansas, July 2S.-The bodies
of the four men killed by the Hugoton
party were brought to Voorhees,, Stevens
county, night before last, and with a
wounded boy, Herbert Tony, afterwards
taken to Woodsdale. No further shoot
ing is reported. Herbert Tony, a 49,
year-old boy, who was seriously wound
ed, made an ante-mortem statement to-
day, in which he said their party was
surprised by twenty Hugoton men while
resting near Wildhorse Lake, and that
Sheriff Cross, Rola Wilcox, Bob Hub
bard and Cyrus w. Eaton were shot
down in cold blood by the Hugoton men,
who afterwards emptied their rifles into
the bodies of the dead men, but did not
come near him (Tony) so he escaped
death. On the other hand local paper
prints the statement over the signature
of its editor, G. E. Cook, to the effect
that Sheriff Cross and party first attack
ed small party of Hugoton men who
we're on the neutral strip with their fam
lilies hunting, and attempted to kill Sam
Robinson. The Hugoton men escaped,
got reinforcements and when returning,
Cook asserts, they were ambushed by
Gross and his four men and boy. When
the fight was over the bodies of Cross
and his posse were lying on the ground
while Sam Robinson, the only one Of
the Hugoton party who was injured, had
a flesh wound in the leg.

A RATHER neat political dodge of the
Republican party has been exposed by
the New York World. Mr.. George W.
Smalley is professional journalist who
some years ago figured on the New York
press. He is now the London cores
pondent of the New York Tribune, the
leading organ in that city of Harrison
and Morton. Mr.. Smalley's dual duties
just now consist in writing articles in the
English newspapers praising President
Cleveland and the Democratic party for
their free trade predictions and then
cabling them to the Tribune as genuine
expressions of British opinion. The
device is neat one, and it works very
we'll until Woodson's little game is ex-
posed. Then its neatness merges into
the gaudiness of political chicane.

The two most effective methods of
arguing point are of ancient origin
the one, attributed to Socrates, the
other, to Aristotle. The former intro
duced catechetical method OF arguing.
Aristotle changed this method of attack
and invented variety of weapons called
syllogisms. Socrates conquered by stra-
tagem, Aristotle by force. Addison
mentions the Argunaentum Basilinum.
The disciples of this method of argu-
ment, when they are not able to confute
their antagonist, knock him down.
Hence the expression, a knock-down
argument. Our Republican contempo-
raries are using still another way of
arguing. 1t is the lie-direct method.
Whenever they are worsted in any dis
cussion they boldly put words in the
mouth of an opponent which were never
uttered. Upon this mendacious state
ment of an adversary's views they make
out their case. Practical jokers have a
printed card, which they pass to story
telling friend, on which is inscribed: 81

suit me too WE'LL" Would it not be in
order for our Republican contemporaries
to exchange cards?

ST.. PAUL, July 2S.-A special from
Standing Rock Agency received at l
o'clock this morning says: The ulti-
matum OF the Indians was given the
Commissioners to-day. The Indians
were in council all of Thursday night
and after many speeches every one
assented to the proposition not to
sign the treaty. John Goss was
chosen to present the ultimatum
to the Commission, assisted by
Gall and other chiefs. Gross referred to
former treaties broken by the whites,
and spoke about the Black Hills treaty
Chairman Pratt had said their lands
could not be taken except by consent oi
rhree-quarters of the Indians; this was
the proposition of the other treaty. How
then, did the whites take the Black Hills
when they only got about three hundred
Indians to sign? Gross said:
"The Indians were fools then, as they
always have been in making treaties, and
we hope we and our children will talk
slow, and not be fools hereafter. You
move other Indian tribes among us off OF
land given the whites. We don't want
this, and other tribes will not
like it either. The whites promised
us much under treaties of years ago.
The Government should give us what ii
now owes before it asks for more. We
have our crops to look after and must
get back to work. We will not sign.
We came hero because our agent asked
us to; we did not want to shame him.
You cannot get US to sign.

At Chairman Pratt's request the Indians
