A SQUARE ISSUE.
Butterworth Puts the Tariff Ouestion in
Pointed Manner.

WASHINGTON, May 18th -ButterWorth,
in his speech in the House to-day, said the
passage of the law would be direct CON
demnatlon OF the protective policy. 1t in
dlca,ed to the country that, wheoher the
tariff was perfect or not, the Democratic
party was not a fit instrument to perfect il.
The mission of the protective tariff was to
place the people of our own country ON an
equality with the producers of the old
world. The protective tariff deals with
conditions, and not with boundary lines.
From those nations against which the
United States held the coign of vantage no
odds were asked, but when the Republi-
cans found conditions which would strike
down our industries and the rate OF
wages of our workingmen, then they
erected the wall of protective tariff.
In skill and cunning American workmen
asked no odds. The capital, the plants and
the skill were here, but starvation wages
were not here, and never would be so long
as the Republican party wrote the laws OF
the country. Capital had the advantage of
labor. Capital could wait longer for its
dividends than labor could for its break
fast.
He made comparison between Ohio,
where protection prevailed, and the States
where free trade philosophy existed,
greatly to the advantage of his own State.
He created much laughter by reading an
extract from the London Times, declaring
thit the only time England has any use for
an lrishman is when he emigrates to Amer
lea and votes for free trade, which he al
most invariably does. In conclusion, he
said that the issue had been fairly worked
up between the two parties. Let there be
no juggling. Let the resolutions in ma
tional platforms so fairly present the issue
that they would attest that they were
drawn by patriotic statesmen, and not by
temporizing, huckstering politicians.

BRIEF AND POINTED.
Mexico's Very Excellent Method of Des
ing With Train Robbers.

Mextco's very Excellent Method OF Deal
ing With Train Robbers.
Copyright 1855. blythe California Associated Tres,
NoGALEs, May 15th-There have been
no more arrests made today in the train
robbery affair. The force of Mexican po-
lice sent after the two Mexicans whose
names and descriptions they have, and who
they know to have taken part in the rob-
berry and murder, have not yet returned
with their prisoners, but the Mexican off,
Gals are confident of capturing them.
The Deputy U. s. Marshal at Tucson tele-
graphed last night to have Taylor and
Rolling, the two Americans under arrest
sent to Tucson for trial. This, however,
has not been done, and probably will not
be, and serious trouble is likely to result if
the attempt be made.
There is strong feeling that the prison
ers be turned over to the Mexican author
tiles, as the Mexican law in regard to train
robbery is very brief and pointed, and if
the evidence tends to show guilt, the pris-
oner is at once taken out and shot. Where
murder is added to robbery, very little evil
dence is required to convict. The officers
now know enough to satisfy themselves
that Taylor ard Rolling are guilty.

New York's Mayor Says They are Moral
Haroes

New YORK, May 15th.-Five hundred
brewery workmen, who have been locked
out four weeks because the boss brewers
refused to recognize their union, marched
downtown to Mayor Hewitt's Office to-
day, and asked the Mayor through s. Z.
Shevilch, noted Anarchist, to do some
thing in their behalf.
The Mayor advised the men to go back
to work Sheyitch stated that if the men
did that they would be called "scabs."
That was too much for the Mayor. He
interrupted Shevitch and excitedly de-
nounced labor organizations for their
tyranny in compelling men to join them
