| 1t is not secret now that the bill
was a compromise, there being
radical differences ofopinion in the
committee and in the frequent uu,
official caucuses held on the sub.
iect.
Senator Beck said to a friend
that he did not think the bill
strengthened the Republican pc,

1t is freely said by Republican
Senators that the part of the bill
which reduces the duty on alcoho
can not be successfully carried GU
that it will lead to great frauc

O AT CHICAGO.
The City of Anarchists Threatened
BY Street Car Strikers
Yesterdays Riot.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. 10.--At 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon a riot
occurred at Garfield Avenue and
Orchard street, this city, in which
fifty persons were dubbed.
A number If street cars were
passing on Garfield Avenue. The
street were damned with a hswling
mob of street car strikers and the
tracks were covered with obstruc-
tons.
Some employees of the road and
the officer removed the debris, but
as fast as it was taken away it was
replaced.
The mob finally became so
great that the sergeant in command
ordered a charge. The officers,
aggravated somewhat at the stub
bornness of the strikers, responded
with a will. They made a rush
and used their clubs freely. Men
and boys were hit, and hard, too,
and the ome were not spared.
A woman named Wilde, who was
particularly demonstrative against
the new men, was badly wounded
by a policeman who gave her q
severe blow.
Partial order was then restored
but more trouble is expected.
Three men were caught spiking
rails of Halstead street and were
locked up.
By the extension of the car mems
strike to the West Division two.
thirds of the residence districts o
the city containing in the aggregate
fully GOO, 900 souls are practically
cut off from all means of reaching
the business section except by foot.
On the North Side, as was the
case yesterday, cars were sent out
in a solid line preceded by a patro.
wagon packed with officers an6
with a detail of ten riding on each
car. Very few of the public, how.
ever, avail themselves of the OPP.
portunity to get down town, ant
On the return trip there were bu'
two passengers to twelve cars.

THE A TARIFF BILL.

IIic stiatc lNIih hIt ID a. IT,
luctant and longdelay ed admission
of the necessity OF tariff reduction
and readjustment. 1t is an en-
dorsement / white chalk aud
large letters of the President and
the House of Representatives in
their action in behalf of tariff re-
form. 1t shows the Senate under
the whip of Democratic progress.
1t is a good many years since the
war tariff was made and through all
these years, up to March 4, 1885,
the Republican party has had the
power of reformation and hasn't
dared or cared to exercise it. All
it has done with regard to the
tariff has been to protect the cap
italist and leave the worker with
ut protection of any kind. That
has brought about a system which
has given large wealth to the few
and poverty to the many.
The Senate Tariff bill proposes
exactly the thing the Mills bill pro,
poses. 1t differs with the Mills
bill only as to details and amounts
in particular cases. 1t naturally
discriminates against Southern
productions because the South
doesn't belong to the Republican
party. But it acknowledges the
fact that reconstruction of the
tariff is an absolute necessity, re.
CARELESS of the damage it may in,
fict on corporations and the benefit
it must confer on the workingman
though for o than twenty years
it has been Indifferent to thai
ecessity-during which time there
have been more and serious strike:
by workingmen than were eve,
known before.
OF course, the Senate bill is
bill, "for buncomb only" 1t il
merely a matter of self-defence OIL
the part of these aged Senatorial
rats, for, whipped into a corner
they have been obliged to turn ant
fight for their lives and have mad,
as good a resistance as might hav,
been expected. But their actor
at this late hour is intended merely
to save themselves andnot to bene
, fit anybody else. They have pro
posed merely obstruction and hav,
no idea of an advancement of an
interest in which they are not per
sonally interested. There is yer,
little prospect that there will be al
adjustment of the tariff merely t,
suit them and the proteete,
"trusts'' of their party. But the.
have been hogged into doing some
th1ng-the something involving a,
admission that there must be tarif
reform of some kind-and that is
victory for the people who exis
outside of ~'strusts," and for tn
d. Democratic party as we'll.

In NO previous Presidential CAM
paisn has there been such a reek-
less use of terms as is now being
Witnessed. A great deal is heard
about British free trade. Few
people stop to think that free trade
is no more British than it is Bull
garian. Free trade is natural trade,
and therefore could never have
been invented. Protection, on the
ether hand, is frequently called the
American system. It should prop
erly be spoken of as British, fer
they had protection in England
long before America became a com
mercial factor of any importance.
The notion that a healthy system
of manufactures could be fostered
by taxation first originated in Eng
land, where protection may there
fore be said to have been invented.
The very word tariff is an English
word, having been adopted there
TO describe the system Of robbery
which was praeticed upon COM
merce by the Independent town OF
Tarifa In Spain. There 10 nothing
like clearly defining the terms.

TOLD BY A DREAM.
Strange Revelation to George
Mosby, a Brother of the Late
Will S. Mosby.

George Mosby, a young man
aged about twenty years, a son of
J. J. Mosby and brother to the late
Will S. Mosby, had a strange
dream on the night of July Is. He
dreamed that his brother Will had
become engaged in a quarrel with
a man, and a fight followed. His
memory tells him that his brother
had two assailants, both of whom,
with a club and pistol, fought him
desperately. The fight took place
on a vacant lot, the location of
which was obscure in the young
mans dream. When the two men
had succeeded in Staying their ap-
ponent, SO realistic was the vision,
SO plainly painted the running
blood and the bruised flesh, that
the young man awake with a start.
AS he came to the happy realiza-
ton that he was only dreaming, the
house clock struck eleven.
VERY STRANGE STORY.
When young Mr.. Mosby came
to the breakfast table in the morn.
ing he casually remarked:
"I'm afraid something has hap.
pened to Will"
Then he told of the dream he
had had at II O'Clock the night be-
fore. In less than two hours the
news of the young Attorneys
tragic death ON a vacant lot at about
II O'Clock Monday night reached
them.
The terrible dream of the unfor.
tunate young lawyers brother had
come at least partly true.

THERE is no tariff on a laborine
mans sweat. There is no tariff
on the importation of men to come
into open competition with the
American workingman. The CAPT.
talist goes into the world and en-
ploys the labor at the lowest price,
for the American wage Garner
stands in that open market with
millions of men who are seeking 6
livelihood, and there is no tariff
that protects him.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1888-10-11

If the tariff really regulated the
wages of our workers would not its
effects be easily apparent Would
not the miners, the ironworkers
and the men employed in the
other industries that are thorough.
ly protected receive higher pay
than men engaged in occupations
that have no system of war taxes
to protect them? If the tariff
makes and maintains wages, why
is it, for example, that carpenters
masons, plumbers and others ii
the building trades, over whom moi
a shadow of protection is thrown
receive higher wages to-day thar
the men who are engaged in mos
of the big protected Industries?

Mr.. BLAINE declares that the
American workingman can protect
himself with his vote. Just so.
And hat is exactly what mil.
lions of them propose to dc
next month, for they have found
out at last that the war taxes are
robbing them on one side for the
benefit of the tariff barons, and
on the other free pauper labor is
driving down their wages beyond
fair living rates.

CLEVELAND AND PENSIONS.

CLEVELAND AND PENSIONS.
President Cleveland is not a
friend of the soldier, says Joseph
Benson Foraker of Ohio. Indeed.
Well, let US see. In the first three
years of his Administration 1884,
600, 900 more were paid out in
pensions that the amount disbursed
during the last three years of Pres.
ident Arthur's term. That doesn't
look like enmity to the Union
veterans. Under Arthur $4,000
names were added to the pension
rolls. Under Cleveland l72, 900
names were inscribed upon them.
That surely does not prove ingrati-
tude to the men who fought under
the flag. Mr.. Cleveland has APP
proved 1 1851 private pension bills,
which is three times as many as
Grant signed, four times as many
as Hayes and twice as many al
Arthur. In all the number only
lacks 173 of being as many as al
the Republican President approved
since the close of the war. THAI
would seem to prove the right sort
of friendship on the part of the
President towards the men who
| wore the blue.

THE only thing that will lower
wages in this country now is the
importing of cheap labor, and that
is just what the monopolists are
doing. The tariff does not add a
dollar to the workingman's earn
ings, but it does add to the profits
of the manufacturer. That is the
reason why the tariff barons want
the war taxes continued and why
the intelligent millions of this
country ought to vote to overthrow
| them.
