A number ofworkmen on the Red

bills amounting to $50 at the saloon
of John Chic, and then boarded q

Of their intention, and got on the
train, too, with his shotgun. At a

collect his bills. The first man paid

AVoice From the Sage.

These advocates of protection are all at
once seized with wonderful solicitude for the
laboring man of the country, and they want
a high protective tariff, not to benefit the
capitalist, not to. benefit the %monopolist, not
to benefit the manufacturer, according to
their statement, but to benefit the laboring
man. He is the man they seek to protect.
And how are they going to protect him?
Why, they say that q high protective tariff
will better his condition, give himmore wages
higher wages. would like to know how
that can be. / would like to know how tax
ing q laboring man IN everything
from the crown on his head
to the sole of his feet is going to enrich him.
Laughter and applause.l Yet this is exact-
~ what this tariff tax does. 1t taxes him on
the hat that he wears; it taxes him on his
shirt, on his necktie, on his underclothes, on
his coat, on his vest, on his brooches, on his
stockings, on his boots, on everything.
GRenewed cheering It raises the price and
taxes him until the poor man can hardly
make enough money, ifhe gets q few cents
more wages in a day-it taxes him until he
can hardly marlborough money to support
himself and his little family, if he has one.
And yet they say that this is for the benefit
aofSthe laboring man. My friends, that is O
10y bald-faced statement if there ever was
sc in the ~world.-Judge Thurman at Port
Haron.

propriated for that purpose, part of the land
being reserved school lands. and other sec.

Truth As Well q common Sense.

The Philadelphia Sentinel, in speaking of
the views recently presented by DR.. Samuel C.
Watson, at the request of colored independ-
ents, says; '.They were independent, manly
and highly suggestive of what colored men
should do in the coming campaign. In fact,
he was simply in harmony with numbers of
Republican newspapers which have positively
recommended q division of the colored vote"
1t goes on to say:
DR.. Watson takes the bull by the horns and
tells the colored men, at Michigan to vote for
the reelection .Qfpresident Cleveland as be-
ing best for their interests. He tells them q
trnth MS well as exercises common sense.
There is no need Of any great learning to UNI
derstand that on honest man, tried and not
found wanting, is to be preferred to the man,
for the Presidency Of this great country,
whom the people do not know anything
about as to c~apability and stability of pur-
pose. 1t is nonsense to talk about
gratitude to a party-a party is ~soulless, a
party is only what men make it, and If it is
called Republican and is not Republican in
its treatment to all it's members, it is not
Republican to the affected. DR.. Wat
sons views we're in accordance with common
sense m the plain advance that is taking
place in the mlnds,nf the colored people Of
the whole couHtfy. Both his physical bear,
ing and logical political position viii bear
many times again the shock Of the attack
that blind partisanship still seeks to makeef.

Labor Day.

Monday, September Ord, was the national
labor holiday, and in all the larger cities it
was duly observed. In New York the organi-
cations turned out in their full strength, and
there were probably not less than Is, 900
men in line. Following Marshal Sullivan
and staff, who were OF the head of the pro-
%cession, came a number ofcarriages contains
ing the Central Labor unions committees OF
arrangement. The right ofthe line was held by
the building trades, the housesmiths leading
under Section Marshal James McKim. There
were 500 of the housesmiths and as many OF
the slate and metal roofers. The section
contained nearly three thousand workers OF
all classes, and fifteen bands of music. Afea-
ture OF this portion of the procession wasthe
marble cutters display. Several wagons
were occupied by sculptors and stone dress
ers plying their trade upon pieces of halfin-
ished work. The German and Hebrew typo
graphical unions, leading the printing trade
section, next appeared, followed. by
the bookbinders. Three hundred oyster.
men, some on foot and some in wagons, pres
ented aneat appearancei in brand new jumpers
and caps. In the bakers section, a cone six
feet high on q four foot base covered with
ornamented gingersnaps, attracted attention.
It was borne on the shoulders Of eight,men.
A six foot loaf of Vienna bread followed.
Five hundred brewers escorted the car of
Gambrinus and other emblematical 'chari-
OTIS" Gambrinus held a foaming goblet and
was attended by two pages. Each brewer
had a sprig of hops in his hat. The printing
trades again claimed the column, and Typo
graphical Union No. 6, a thousand strong,
each chapel headed by a band or drum corps,
marched by.
An immense blood-red flag was carried
through the leading streets of Cleveland
Ohio, and behind it marched a score of
anarchists. This was "labor day" so-called,
and twelve hundred men formed in line and
with music and waving emblems paraded the
downtown t~horoughfares and then with
drew toa garden in the suburbs. At the
garden the anarchists unfurled, their flag and
refused to acknowledge the stars and stripes.
The committee in charge induced them to
put their flag away. When thecommittee men
turned their backs, the anarchists seized
their emblem of blood and waved it aloft tri-
u%mphantly. Immediately they were attack
ed by o hundred working men. The flag was
trampled under foot, and one anarchist after
another went TO the ground in the fight that
continued for at least ten minutes. All the
anarchists but five escaped the three detect
ives who were present, but those who got
away were bleeding and lame and will
hardly appear in. public for some time
to come.

The Yellow Fever.

Thirty-seven new cases of yellow fever and
two deaths from that disease we're reported
to the board of health on Monday. Total
cases to date, 245; total deaths, SO.
The new cases reported are numerous,
but it is now certain that several
physicians are making reports to the
board Of health, asserting that the post
ing of yellow flags ut patients gates and
publishing the fact thar they have yellow
fever has an injurious effect in frightening
them. These physicians tell patients that
they only have q little bilious attack, but
treat them for yellow fever. They say the
disease frightens more to death than it kills.
1t is nov believed that the total number Of
cases of fever not reported is large.

Tariff Reform Sentiment.

The tariff reform sentiment is one that is
sure to grow with agitation and discussion,
because it has reason and common sense on
it's side. 1t is especially strong in the North
west, whose leading interests demand a re-
duction Of duties, und the position which the
republican party had taken was found to
have endangered it's hold upon more than
one state which has been counted upon as
sure This was why the senators began
to hedge under the earnest plea of Mr.. Allison
of Iowa, that the people Of his state de-
manded tariff reform, and would not be salts
fed without it. The idea that such a Repub-
l1can stronghold as Iowa. should become
doubtful was alarming, and o conference Of
Republican senator's concluded that some.
thing must be wrong.-NeW York Times,
