A MEXICAN.
An Excited Greaser shoots a Brake
man.

A rather mysterious shooting affray
occurred on the Grow creek flats Sunday
evening. One man was quite seriously
wounded, another badly beaten and a
third so badly frightened that he will shun
the locality indicated for an indefinite
period.
Three Union Pacific brakemen were
peacefully p~romenading near Grow creek
about $50 o'clock, when an excited and
enraged Mexican dashed from a house in
the vicinity and advanced rapidly toward
the trio. To the foremost he threaten
ingly remarked, You insulted my wife,"
The man, whose name is Thomas Smith,
demonstrated with the warlike individual
and denied having committed the breach
of etiquette charged. The Mexi-
can jabbered a few unintelllbible
sentences and quicker than a
flash drew a revolver from
his belt and leveled it at the head of the
terror. stricken railroader. A few more
words passed when the armed man fired.
The ball lodged in the shoulder of Smith,
who, despite his wound managed to
knock his antagonist down and kick him
a few times. The trio then retreated,
but were followed by the irate foreigner.
who forced one to march several hundred
feet with the muzzti of a six shooter
within a few inches OF his head.
The wounded brakeman is receiving
treatment in the company hospital at
Denver.
The matter was not reported to the
police, and no arrests have been made.

BIaine's Turgid vaporings.

The Republican keynote, as sup
piled by Mr.. Blaine, is that wages
can be voted up or voted down.
THE wages of American labor he
proclaims, s'can not be reduced except
with the consent and the votes of the
American laborer himself There is
not an Intelligent working-man in the
United States but knows this is ridicu-
lous nonsense. The wages of Ameri-
can laborers have been reduced many
times. under the ''highest tariff in the
world" not only without their consent
and votes. but against their energetic
protest and determined strikes. Trades
unions and other labor organiza-
tons have done more to force up
and to keep up wages than have all
the laws that were ever passed. The
Democratic keynote is that taxes
which were voted up to meet the
heavy expenditures of war should be
voted down to meet the lessened re-
quirements of peace. Taxes have been
voted up and voted down. Wages
never were. Let working-men choose
between fustian and facts, and relieve
themselves of unnecessary taxation

sueDWfDlNo THE SOIL.

The Democratic and Republican Ways Of
Doing It Explained by Figures.
: The police of tie subdivision Of the soil is
one that tends to strengthen our National life.
God grant that 1t may be long before we have
in this country tenantry that is hopeiessly
such from one generation to another.
These fine words and true are from
the lips of Ben Harrison in one of the
little campaign speeches which he has
been making every day for two weeks.
Now measure the words by the per-
formances Of the Republican party.
''The policy of the subdivision of
the sOil' is one which the Republican
party has practiced for many years,
and the ''subdividing'' had gone on so
rapidly that there promised to be very
little left for the people until the Dem
ocratic party. four years ago. declared
that the Republican kind of ''subdi-
vision" and ''silence'' must stop and
began the restoration of public lands
to actual settlers. The manner in
which the Republican party was ''sub-
dividing the soil'' before the election
of President Cleveland may be taken
in at a glance from the following table
of the acres of public lands voted away
by the Republican party and of the
corporations among which it was
''subdivided:''

WHISKY AND TAXATION.

Effect of tho Government Tax on the
Consumption of Alcohol.
The Christian at HlOr5 has been
studying the effect of the Government
tax upon the consumption of whisky.
We have not space to give the long
array of figures on which it bases it's
conclusion, but it affirms that ''GOv
eminent supervision and the ninety
cent tax diminished the consumption
of whisky in one year to the amount
of 9S, 33S, 1856 gallons, which. but for
the supervision of the tax, would have
been manufactured and consumed.
It thus appears "that the amount of
whisky consumed per capita in the
United States, under a high tax, is less
than half that consumed thirty years
ago under free whisky" Such facts
tell very strongly against Colonel In
gersoll's poetic argument that the
abundance and cheapness of whisky
have nothing to do with the consump-
ton. It would be strange if a law of
political economy which operates with
regard to all commodities should
be suspended with reference to
whisky: These facts, as our con-
temporary says, "show that the price
of whisky. chiefly affected by the tax,
has a most decisive effect upon the am
QUIT of whisky consumed, and there
fore holds the closest possible relation
to the morals of the people. - Chris
tan Register.

For Tariff Reform.

Congressman AshbelP. Fitch, of New
York City, has resigned his member
ship in the Republican organization OF
his district. In his letter of withdrawal
he uses these words: MY reason for
this resignation is that I am not willing
to advocate or support the new doc
t,ines upon which the party managers
have decided to make this campaign.
I am in favor, as were Garfield,
Arthur and Folger, of a reasonable
revision of the present tariff in the di-
rection of decreasing the cost OF the
necessaries Of, life and of supplying
American wOrkmen with cheaper raw
materials for manufacture. l believe
that such a revision will increase
wages and production in this country
and will tighten somewhat the heavy
load of poverty and hardship which so
many people in our city carry hope
lessly from year to year. am also
absolutely opposed to any reduction OF
| the tax on whisky.

One reason why monopolists want a
very high tariff is that they know that
it will drive farm labor off the farm
and into competition Uith labor IN the
factories, furnaces and mines. Thus
they expect to force down the wages of
labor. If they can IS check imports"
and prevent the farmer from exchang-
ing his surplus products for imports
from foreign countries, they can drive
the farmers sons and hired help off the
farms and get their labor at their own
price. Their purpose is so transparent
that it can not be disguised.-Harris-
burg (Pd.) Patriot.

BRAINS VS.. eLusTER

Fortunately for the Country Elas>> ana
Blaze Don't Vote.
James G. Blaine and his followers of
the jingo stripe would. had they the
power. sembroil the country in foreign
complications that would lead to war.
1t is the aim of this class of men to
gain as much gloriicaticn at the ex-
pense of the Government as is pos
sible to be had. As Secretary of State
Blaine brought us to the verge of an
open declaration of war with England.
and only the councils of conservative
men, whose patriotism was GREATER
than self-seeking, arerted the danger.
We're Harrison President Blaine would
be chief of foreign affairs as well as
the power behind the throne. Harri-
sons election, we're such a thing prob
able. would be public calamity"
Blaine, like many other leaders in his
party, is laboring for the plaudits Of
his followers and not for his country's
good. Harrison would be nonentity
if elected. He would but afford an il
lustration of the manner in which mat
ter is dominated by mind. In the next
few weeks Blaine will completely over
shadow Harrison, but when the people
fully comprehend the situation the in
terest felt In the magnetic man will be-
gin to wane.
The strong hold upon the hearts of
the people which President Cleveland
has will be undiminished. The faith
of the people in his loyalty to their in
terests will counterfeit all efforts to
stampede the voters. We may expect
from the Republicans a ''hUrrah CAM
paign." with beating of drums, blow
ing of horns and burning of red lights.
but that kind of business will not Sue
coed this time. The voters have their
thinking caps on and are not to be
caught by such child's play. The
National Republican Committee may
beat the bushes and drag the cutters
to make as big professions and great
displays for the Blaine meetings as
possible, but the conservative element
will regard such devices with contempt
and scorn. The bowling Blaine ar-
rison crowd may make as much display
as they choose, but when the votes are
counted in November they viii find :iiet
their work went for naught. CtcCetG,td

IMPORTANT TO FARMERS.
Why Ionopolists Have Always Wanted
Very High Tariff.

Why Monopolists Have Always Wanted
Very High Tariff.
The Republican platform adopted at
Chicago and Endorsed by candidate
Harrison declares that imports must
be checked" by a higher tariff. Now
the surplus products of the farm which
can not be sold in this country and
which must be sold in foreign countries
are paid for by imports from those
countries. They can not be paid for In
coin. because there is not enough coin
in existence in those countries to pay
for the American farmers surplus
products Therefore they must be
paid for by imports from those coun-
tries That is by bills of exchange
drawn upon the credit produced by the
sale of the imported articles in this
country. If imports were checked
it follows that the farmers surplus
amounting to five hundred millions of
dollars and more per annum would be
a dead loss. that the American farmer
would have to lessen his produc-
ton by five hundred millions per
annum, that many wOrkmen now en-
ployed in agriculture would be forced
into the trades and that iron and steel
workers and machinists and black
smiths and carpenters and bricklayers
and weavers and miners and all work
ing-men outside of agricultural indus
tries would have a sudden and terrible
competition from the farm hands
thrown out of employment This is no
| idle prediction. It is an imminent
peril.

James z. Foster is president of the
Republican League of the United States.
comprising over 1000 clubs with a
large membership. Foster in his con-
fdential letter to the manufacturers
told the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth when he said
that the manufacturers" -remember,
not the farmers nor the laboring men,
but the five per cent. of people of this
country, the manufacturers get
ting practically the sole benefit of the
tariff laws" The Republican League
is the real life of the Republican party
and Chairman Foster speaks officially
for that party. 1t is no dress parade
OR work of pleasure in which Mr.. Eos
ter is engaged, but a work of life and
death for his party. With its very ex-
istence in question he speaks facts
which all know, but no Repub-
ican prohibitory tariffite would openly
admit. They, one and all, know that
the prohibitory tariff extends benefits
trusts and mOnopOlies. Blaine is cog
infant of these facts, but keen, shrewd
politician that he is, he takes a sharp
turn at the crank and exhibits that
political craft for which he is so noted
by saying that this is no fight for the
manufacturer. They can take care of
themselves"
The. conflicting statements of these
two Republican leaders show that the
party managers will stick at nothing
in the endeavor to regain power. The
Republican chief" with cool effront-
cry asserts that this is not fight for
the manufacturers, while the commit
tee and managers, hungry for office,
turn to the manufacturers whom they
claim have received " all the benefits
of the tariff laws" and demand money
to buy votes with in order to be re-
turned to power. Down with such
demagogism.-Ce Cleveland Plain Dealer.
