POWDERLY ON TRUSTS.

Master Workman Powderly was be-
fore the congressional committee ap-
pointed to examine into immigrant
abuse, last week. He is a Republican
and high protectionist, but he is notin
accord with Mr.. Blaine's ideas of trusts
In the course of his examination, the
following occurred:
In reply to a question from Gen
Spin0la, Mr. Powderly said that trusts
in this country are menace to the well
fare of the public generally and are
organized in the interests of few to
control the output, limit the production
and smother small aggregations of cap
ital in the same business or crush them
out entirely. He had personal knowl-
edge of coal trusts and knew that indi-
vidual concern could no more ship coal
TO this city from Pennsylvania than a
man could fly. He thought the strong
arm of the law should be outstretched
to crush out the evil.
Then you do not agree" said Mr.
Oates, THAT trusts are private concerns
which legislators have no right to con-
trol?"
Decidedly not" said Mr.. Powderly
I'VE regard them in the same way that
we do highwaymen."
You think then that these trusts
are detrimental to the general inter
ests of the country" asked Mr.. Spinola
They are, and should be wiped out
of existance as speedily as possible"
1t will be remembered that in his
Portland speech, few days since, Mr.
Blaine said:
"Irusts are largely pirate affairs ,oiH
'cbich President CleUeIand nor any phi
cate citizen has any right to interfere"

A REPUBLICAN ON TARIFF

Congressman Knute Nelson, of Min
nesota, a Republican, in concluding bis
great tariff speech in the congress, re-
Gently, said:
In the face of these platform pledges,
In the face of these admissions from
unwilling witnesses, in the face of the
large, ever growing and threatening
surplus taken from the people by tax
alton and used by certain banks, with
out any consideration therefor, and in
the face that so many of the bareSt nee
eSSaries of life are loaded down with
the highest kind of tariff taxes, it
makes me sick at heart to think that
there are leading men on this side of
the chamber who can find at this juno
ture, and under these circumstances,
no other field for tax reduction than
the internal revenue taxes on spirits
and tobacco. Surely these things are
not the diet on which the poor laboring
man keeps his family. WOrthier, bet
ter and juster, it seems to my mind,
would it be to give our people-the toll
ing masses-cheaper food, cheaper fuel,
cheaper clothing and cheaper shelter
cheaper because released from the
heavy and unnecessary bondage of high
tariff taxes. l will put free sugar, free
coal, free salt, and free lumber against
free whisky and free tobacco under all
circumstances, and SO will the great
mass of the American people.

WATER WORKS

The INDEX has been criticized for It's
position on the question of voting more
for waterworks. We care nothing fol
criticisms from those who plainly have
axes TO grind in the matter. We know
that this city, school district, township
and county are now burdened with
debt; we know that the $4,000 school
bonds could not be sold because of the
heavy debt hanging over the property
of the district and to burden the city
with S25, 600 or even $4,000 more debt.
would be to defeat the sale of the school
house bonds and besides it would effect
ually tie our hands against aiding some
really meritOrlous enterprise that may
knock for admission.
The attempt to show that the needy
laboring men of this city would be bene-
fitted by laying main water pipe and
erecting stand-pipe is the merest bosh.
The work would probably be let to the
lowest bidder and he would do like the
ditch contractors did-like all contrac-
tors dO-get men for the very cheapest
price possible. The excavating would
be but a small item. The piping and
the iron for the stand-pipe would cost
the money, nine tenths of the expendi-
ture, at least, and every dollar of that
money would go away from this town
and away from the state.
We want to see waterworks here
whenever the city can afford it; but
when we do get them we do not want
the kind that Caldwell, Harper, An
thony, Cullison, Laned and even Well
ington have. These towns all have
waterwOrks for sale.

CAPTURING THE METHODISTS

General Clinton Il. Fisk, the Prohi-
bitiOn candidate for the presidency,
has performed a remarkable feat in
political campaigning. says the New
York correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune. He has set the machinery of
the Methodist Episcopal church to
grinding out and thoroughly dlssemina-
ting manifesto for him. While the
200 Methodist delegates to the United
States conference of the denomination
were in occupation of the metropolitan
opera house May and June there was
no more active member than General
Fisk. He especially advocated a new
and official eXpression.of Methodist poll
cy as to alcoholic beverages, and IN
consequence of his exertions a COM
mittee was appointed to formulate a
doctrine. The general was not mem
Der of that body, but it was hia pen
that wrote the report. The document
contained about 1000 words, and it de-
clared the sympathy of Methodism with
various mentioned efforts at prohibition.
The following shows its tenor:
The absolute suppression of the sa.
loon Is our objective point. We

The tract has already been put IN
type, with an official caption and in.
dorsement as the expressed will OF

copies will be printed by the end OF
August. They will be sent into every
Methodist household in New York
New Jersey and Connecticut at once
and afterwards into other states. The
intention is that it shall appeal as By
church authority to Metho1ists to vote
and work for Clinton b. Fisk as the
Prohibition candidate for the .presiden-
cy. In accordance with the rule of the
tract society copies are sold at nomi-

The Senate of the United States hay-
ing declined to ratify treaty made by
the representatives of this country and
those Of Great Britain, regulating the
fisheries question, and it being plain
that the Senate refused to ratify the
treaty on purely political grounds, that
body being controlled by the Rebuilt
can majority, President Cleveland
last week dropped bomb-shell in the
Republican camp that will be remem-
bered for many day. 1t was in the
shape of a message to Congress in which
he asks for legislation empowering the
abolition of the bonding system, now
allowed the Canadians. They have been
allowed to bring British goods into the
United States and take them out again
untaxed. In the last six years the ex-
ports and imports of Canada, carried
through the United States In bond have
amounted to S27O,OOO,OOO.
The president respectfully asks the
Republicans of the senate for power
TO collect on these British goods
brought into the United States and car
ried out again for the benefit of British
subjects the same taxes that have been
imposed by the Republicans on the
American people. Then as Canada re-
stricts the commerce of the northwest
by tolls over Canadian canals, he asks
legislation authorizing retaliation for
all restrictions and annoyances to which
our lake traffic is subjected.
By rejecting the fisheries treaty, the
Republicans expected to render the
president unpopular in the New Eng
land states, for the rejection of the
treaty would likely have made Canada
bold and it would have seized the Ameri-
can vessels found in its fishing territory
and then ali embargo would have been
declared by this country, or perhaps an
embargo would have been declared at
once. That would have cut off big
source of New England's trade. If the
embargo had not been declared, the
Irish and other enemies of England
would have been mad.
MIR. Cleveland thought out an easier
way to make Canada come to time
He wants its imports and exports privi-
leges stopped or he wants the people of
the great northwest to be allowed the
free use of the Canadian canals.
In the language of the st. Louis Re-
public, the senate is thus forced into
the corner which it hoped to force the
president. His policy imperils Repub-
lican supremacy in the northwest, where
Republican states are already doubtful
on account of the tariff +; it gains ground
for the administration in New England;
it muzZles the New York dynamiters,
it forces the senate to follow line of
legislation which will not benefit the
Republican party; and finally, it pre-
sents far-reaching question of states
manship to render respectable the fore
ed differences with Canada.
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1888-08-29

According 10 the best statisticians. the
great mass of American citizens" who
could, by any possibility, have their
wages and emOluments seriously re-
duced should a lower tariff rate be en-
acted, is Dinty thousand; while the I'M
protected workers number more than
sixteen millions. The latter number of
course embraces the farmers of Kansas
and Barber county. But these are not
all: the old people who are not able to
work and the young people who are too
young to work must be supported and
the unprotected laborers must pay pro-
tective prices for all that the young and
old consume or use. The per centage
of those protected is five and of those
unprotected IS ninety-five.
