Tomlinson stepped forward to the
counter, when the stranger drew . re-
volver and shot Tomlinson in the groin.
Attracted by the pistol shot about
1000 people quickly gathered, and
learning OF the shooting started in pur-
suit of the assailant, who WAS making
his escape. After running about
block the stranger fired . second
shot at butcher named Blisch, the
ball taking effect in his left side. The
stranger then threw away his mask and
. rubber coat he had been wearing and
continued his flight. Men mounted
horses and give chase and gained rapid
ly on the fugitive. The latter seeing es-
cape hopeless turned his pistol upon
himself and sent . bullet crashing
through his brain, dying instantly. The
crowd were so infuriated that they
would certainly have )ynched
him if they had caught him alive. The
mans name is said to be kimball, but

the Protectionists. against the bloody
scenes OF the French Revolution and
the Angel of Destruction. l will close
by quoting the following from the At
lanta Constitution in an article relating
to the repeal of the tariff in 1893:
1T was during the existence of this
last named act that the terrible finan-
cial crisis of lS37-eyer memorable in
American history - took place, and
which continued with unabated fury
until 1872, when the old tariff was re-
stored and another area OF remarkable
commercial prosperity set in. But the
Free trade tariff of 1916 soon checked
and finally overthrew the
Polk administration. Nothing but
this insane cry of Free Trade
and the failure of the Democratic
leaders to correctly interpret public
sentiment on the tariff issue, could have
made the Whig triumph OF lS4S posi-
bic And nothing but the failure of the
newly elected Wing administration to
carry out their professed tariff policy
could have caused their complete over
throw In 1852. The closing session of
Congress under the Pierce administra-
ton repeated the blunder of 1916 by
lowering the tariff to that of 1912, and
the terrible crisis OF 1857 was the i'm
mediate result.
Let the present administration take
arning lest thev be overthrown in 1888,
ike the Wings in 1852 Let them not
deceive themselves by thinking that the
working people desire the same condi-
ion of things here as exists in Europe,
or If Free Trade means anything it
means this.
