shot and killed Joseph W. Robinson, a gas-well
contractor, Of Francesvile, in Deutsch's saloon,
in this place. Robinson and Reinhart had had
some previous trouble. but no one seems to

number of people Of Francesville were here at
tending court Just As they were getting ready
to go home. and while their carriage was stand
ing at the door. Robinson and others stepped
in the saloon. Robinson was In
the act Of lighting a cigar when Reinhart
came in. when Robinson saw Reinhart he
made friendly overtures Reinbart answered
him, saying, "All right" He then stepped~sp
to Robinson, drew revolver, placed his arm
around Robinson's Eeck, and shot him before
any one in the saloon knew what he was doing.
Robinson fell into the of one of his friends,
and then TO the floor. He died without saying a
word Reinhart ran out of the saloon to the
western limits of the town. When next seen he
was about half mile north of the depot, try
ing to board train for Loeansport. Failing
in this, he came south along the street and went
in bis barber shop by tho back way. Here he
changed his hat and coat and tried to hide under
a stairway, where he was found about half an
hour after the shooting and captured without a
struggle. Excitement Is runoinR high, and

to take its course. Robinson was highly re-
spected citizen Of Frapcesville, and about thirty
five years old. Reinhart is gambler and

speech in the First ward the other night. he

him. The next morning friend fornd him
coming down town. and asked him where he
was going. He repeated what Bynum had said.

Eight Hundred Wisconsin Workmen Believe

Eight hundred workingmen employed in the

To the workingmen Of the State OF Wisconsin:

view, feeling that our interests a wage-earners
are assailed aud endangered by the powerful eff
forts made by the enemies of protection TO
American industries aud labor to tear down our
system o. protective tariff. and give Us instead
lower Gcties and lsssa- protection than now
enjoy. AS workipgmen we regard il es-
sentIal thing in limiting competition between Us
AID the wo- kingmen of foreign countries. Free
foreign trade is anotoer rame for free foreign
competition. Free competition will simply
bring labor 20 a common level; hence free COM
petition between and foreigners only
suit In bringing us down 10 level OF foreign
workngmen.
1.-The wages paid in this country are from two
to three times as much as the wages paid in
Europe. Free competition was never known to
be the means OF increasing wages. Even as
American wcrkingmen We find 1t necessary TO
organize, regulate and control competition
among ourselves; so is protective tariff neaes-
sary TO restrict competition between Us and
foreign workingmen.
The undersigned are mostly employed in the
ment Of wages between US and our employers
we have always used the tariff as factor that
should insure to US better wages than are paid
abroad. Any reduction Of the tariff can only re-
suit in quickening competition between us ana
foreign labor. or in other words q reduction in
our wages. The same result will follow in all
other branches of labor.
THE Mills bill is measure in the direction
OF free trade. OF fleer competition between the
labor OF this country and the labor of foreign
countries. It provides for free wool, free lum-
Der. free salt, free cotton ties and several other
important articles that represent very large in
dustries in this country. 1t provides also for a
reduced duty steel rails, bar iron, old iron
rails and wrought scraps and manufactured
goods in wood, glass, WOODEN and other mateials
that enter into com etition with home production
Every one OF these reductions would entail q re-.
due:ion OF wages, and In some cases stoppage-
OF production altogether IN this country, thus
sacrificing employment to homo labor aud fur
nishng employment TO foreign labor and capital
