Is this justice? If the interests of the
public demand the removal of the tariff
duties on the farm products of the
North, why not apply the same rule to
South? On Dec. 20, when interviewed
by the GLOBE correspondent on the
tariff question and in regard to
the presidents message, L used
the following language: (Cleveland'sl
recommendations concerning wool
are very faulty. He considers the wool
upon the back of the farmers sheep as
raw material. 1t is nothing of the kind.
1t is the capital, the stock in trade of
the farmer. 1t represents his labor,
care and pains for at least year. The
food eaten to produce the wool is part
of his capital, and his time is money. If
the president would recommend not
only the
ABOLITION OF THE TARIFF
on wool, or reduction on that tariff,
but also corresponding abolition or re-
duction of the tariff ON the manufac-
tured article, the farmer could then
stand it and laugh with those who laugh
best and last" The same criticism APP
plies to the Mills bill. AS the tariff now
stands the average rate on wool manu-
features is $3.50 per cent, on wool 41.32
per cent. The manufacturers prOtec-
ton is, of course, only the difference be-
tween $3.50 and 41.32 or 27.67 per cent.
By the Mills bill wool is put on the free
list and the tariff on WOODEN manufac-
lures fixed at a rate averaging 40 per
cent. Hence it will be seen that while
the manufacturer is protected only to
the extent of 27.67 per cent now, if the
Mills bill becomes law he will have a
protection of 40 per cent or 1888 per
cent higher than at present. This is
unfair to the farmer, unfair to the peO-
pie, but it suits the manufacturers and
moneyed interests. | am not advocating
a high wool tariff or any tariff on wool,
but | do like to see fair play. And now
| ask in all candor, is it the deliberate
judgment of the Farmers alliance of
Mobiles county that | should vote for
this bill? Very respectfully,
JOHN LIND.

NOT TASCOTT.
Another Man Arrested As Million.
aire Smells Murderer.


Special to the Globe
HELENA, Mont, April S.-Oficers
here got telegram yesterday to be at
the depot last night when the west.
bound train got in. They went to the
depot, and as the passengers got off,
saw one man rush up to another, grab
him by the coat and say: "Tascott, you
are my prisoner" The man thus as
saulted was then turned over to the
police as the Chicago murderer, Tas-
colt. The fellow who arrested him is
z. Z. Gum, en- route from st.
Paul to British Columbia. Gum
spotted the man on the cars,
nd, thinking he answered the deScrip-
ton of TascOtt, kept him under sur
veillance until they reached Helena,
where officers were telegraphed to meet
him. The alleged Tascott was lodged
in jail and Gum sauntered through the
hotels playing the part of hero and
liOniZing himself as great detective,
ShreWd man, etc. 1t soon transpred
that Gum had made a mistake, and the
man Swallowed and arrested by him has
been identified as Mark ID. Scott, whose
father lives in Sioux Falls. He an
swers Tascotts description i'll a few
particulars, but is evidently not the
Chicago murderer. GUMS Judgment
ives influenced by his appetite for the
big reward, and it is understood he has
been looking for TascOtt ever since the
reward was offered.

But They Didn't Shoot.

STEVENS POINT, Wis, April S.-A
sensation was caused here at breakfast
this morning by street encounter be-
tween Jules Iverson and William A.
hoe, prominent business men of the
city. Roe rushed across the street with
a drawn revolver and asked Iverson:
SIS it true that you threatened to
kill me?" By way of reply
IversOn drew his revolver. An
exchange of shots seemed imminent,
when lverson took to his heels and
sought refuge in a restaurant. Roe
was arrested later. The trouble grew
out of feud caused by rivalry, both
having paid attentions to the daughter
OF wealthy Stevens Point lumberman.
The town is greatly excited since the
Hazeltine murder and everybody goes
armed. The episode this morning fol-
lowing close on the heels of this murder
and also because of the prominence of
the parties has caused great deal of
cOmmotion.

Gen. ALGER has quite a presidential

be the order of the day for the most dis

THE TARIFF NO REMEDY.
The Wrongs of the Laboring Men
Cannot Be Righted by Glass
LeDiS1atiOn

To the Editor of the Globe.
This is the third time within my rec
objection that prominent issue ON the
tariff policy of our government has
been made by the great opposing par
ties. The Democratic party has never
proposed free trade with foreign coun-
tries, but has always favored an adjust
ment of tariff duties that would favor
certain lines of manufacture and pro-
duction. but limited to the revenue
wants of our government economically
administered; in other words, ''a reve-
nue. tariff with incidental protection"
The authority of the government is ''tO
lay and collect taxes, duties, impOStS
and excuses, to pay the debts and pro-
vide for the common defense and gen.
eral welfare of the United States" This
authority cannot, unless by usurption,
be extended beyond the economical
needs of the government in the exercise
of the powers granted and duties en-
joined in the constitution. The federal
government is not authorized to tax the
people for the purpose of building up
private fortunes, nor to promote the
employment of increased numbers in
labor on wages, as objects of the taxa
ton. Such is class legislation, and the
labOring classes have so far not realized
any of the benefits, and they can
not reasonably expect to. Our
work people, other than women and
children, will never derive any
benefit from legislation designed to
maintain directly their hold upon en-
ployment and wages. Legislation af-
fecting their interests should never be
extended beyond the limit of protection
against fraud and lightly expensive
remedial process. This will, of course,
include reasonable statutory security
for compensation for labor. ASSocia-
lions of work people to interfere with
or coerce employment between the i'm
mediate parties to the contract, are
vicious, always have been, and always
will be more hurtful to the true inter-
ests of the wage labor classes than bene-
fetal. They cannot expect to acquire
by the aid of legislation any rights they
have not now as freemen, to make their
own contracts, and secure themselves
by reasonable vigilance therein. If
they could secure legislation beyond
statutory security they must expect to
be bound to reasonable reciprocity, and
this were yielding their manly indie
pendence and freedom to make their
own contracts, and would tend to only
increase their grievances and burdens.
1t would also tend to induce indepen-
denee and promote improvidence. In
dustry. honesty and reasonable economy
are the only effective means of redress
for the inequalities whereof able-bodied
manhood may complain, and class legis-
lati0n of any kind cannot afford them
the relief the protective tariff and labor
agitators pretend to desire, and promise
by this means. N. I. HAUSER.
