THE NEBRASKA HOLOCAUST.
Inyestigation shows IL 90 Have Been n
Terrible Crime.

OMAHA, May IA representative Of
the Bee, who was sent to Arlington to
investigate the Freeze Groteluschen hol.
ocaust, made thorough examination
to-day, and developed the facts which
show il was not an accident but a terrible
crime. The body Of Mrs. Grotcluschcn
was exhumed and her throat was found
cut. The theory Is that the murderer
himself met his fate In attempting to
escape after killing his victims. The
funeral services were held this afternoon.

During the campaign OF 1884 no news
paper gave Mr. Cleveland heartier sup
port than the Chicago Neps, whose
editor, Mr.. Stone, pointed it that way
because he inclined strongly to Free
Trade. Recently Mr.. Stone retired from
that newspaper with Il comfortable for
tune and went abroad. Now and then
he writes letter to the Chicago Times,
another newspaper on the side OF tariff
REFORM" In letter from Clonmel, Ire
land, Mr.. Stone says:
There is one very sad feature about
the town, and one that struck me before
| had been here day. have never
seen so many silentfactories. There are
great buildings along the quays, immense
structures on the back streets, buildings
rising to six stories in height in the rear
of private houses, all vacant. They tell
me here that previous to the union the
linen and wooden factories OF Clonmel
gave employment to 1900 or 10000
people. The entire population OF the
Town now does not amount to over TO-
600. 1t was one Of the busiest towns in
the three kingdoms; now, so far as
manufactures are concerned, it is one OF
the dullest. Inimical legislation on the
part OF England drove one after another
OF the great mill owners out OF business,
to emigration or poverty. Before the
union Irish industries were protected
and fostered by the Irish Parliament.

Independent.
Mr.. John p. st. John, Prohibition
nominee for President in 1854, is report
cd rs saving, in a recent speech, respect
ing the Republican platform:
Thus, instead OF taking the burden
off the masses, they propose TO pile the
burdens higher on them. And ii this is
not sufficient to reduce the surplus they
say that they propose to remove the tax
from every distillery and brewery and
saloon rather than to take the burdens
from the necessaries OF life. The people
OF this country will never endure such
an infamous proposition"
The proposition thus denounced as
infamous appears in the platform OF
the Third party in the following decla-
ration:
"4. For the immediate abolition OF
the Internal Revenue system, whereby
our National Government is deriving
support from our greatest National
vice"
From this itwould appear that the pro-
position for the conditional and remote
removal Of the tax on whisky is "inia-
nous" while that for the immediate
and unconditional removal OF it is all
right. 1t is "infamous to remove it in
the interests OF protection, but it is all
right to retain it in the interests OF Free
Trade. 1t is infamous" for Republic
cans to remove it; but it is all right for
the Third Party to remove it. Mr.. St.
John also said it was "wrong to take a
tax from any iniquity:" The platform
OF his party condems this tax as Sup
port" derived from "our greatest Ma
tional vice." Has Mr.. st. John left the
Third Party, or is he dividing his time
on the stump between the Third Party
and the Democratic?

factories. Whatever it may have done
for other countries, or however wise it
may be to remove the Protective tariff in
the United States, Ireland stands to-day
terrible example OF the workings OF
Free Trade.
This is strong testimony from an
American Free Trader. 1t is the testi-
mony of facts. "Foreign competition
came in and silenced the mills and fac
tories" With the mills and factories
went the home market for the products
Of the soil. Do We wish to have foreign
competition come in and do the same
for this Republic? Great Britain cannot
drive US "to emigration or poverty" by
the legislation OF her Parliament, but
she is trying to drive US to poverty by
the legislation of the Congress OF the
United States and the cooperation OF a
Free Trade President OF the United
States. Do we want in this country
another terrible example OF the work
ings Of Free Trader"
All Ireland tells on larger scale the
story of ClonmeI. 1t is the story OF
every land that has had Free Trad.

A TRUE FRIRNp OP PROTECTION

The Democratic Party aud Its Numerous
Flops-A Register Query Answered.
TO the Editor Of the mte!iigaeer.
SIR:-The Register yesterday, in long
and brilliant y article, asks what Gen.
Harrison meant when he said that "the
tariff should be revised by the friends
and not the enemies OF protection" and
asks il the General even means to hint
that the Democratic party is not the
friend OF protection and the working
man?
Oh, no, dear Register. Gen. Harrison
wouldn't think of denouncing the Dem
ocratiC party as the enemy OF protection.
a party whose platform has twice read
in favor OF "Free Trade" (lS72 and 1876,
once in favor OF tariff for revenue
only" 1850, once for tariff for revenue
exclusively tISS4} and at last in favor OF
the mills bill, which declares for
Free Trade in lumber, which we pro-
duce to the value Of S3OO,O0O,OOO annu-
ally;
Free Trade in wool, OF which we pro-
ducc over 3OO,00O0OO pounds annually;
Free Trade in salt, OF which We pro-
luce nearly 40,O00,000 bushels annually ;
Free Trade in flax, hemp, jute and
other tibers;
Free Trade in cement, potash, lime
and brick;
Free Trade in meats, game and poul-
try;
beans;
Free Trade in stone;
Free Trade in ut least 100 other arti.
cles produced in this country, most OF
which would be produced in sufficient
quantities for home consumption ii
properly protected.
Such a party is beyond a doubt the
friend OF Protection-oh, yes.
was talking to the telegraph editor
OF the Register not long ago about some
OF his editorials on the tariff question
and reminded him OF how in 1884 he
used to come out daily with the declara-
ton that ii the Democratic party would
get into power they wouldn't think OF
tampering with or reducing the tariff,
and that the platform OF 1854 called for
as high protective tariff as the Repub-
lican platform OF that year. His answer
was that they had "misinterpreted its
meaning then, but know,EGhat it means
now" hope they do:

1t is not long since the Register was
violently denying that the Democratic
party fayors Free Trade at all. Here
are some choice paragraphs from the
columns OF that paper:
Democrats: Free salt,
Republican platform: Free whisky.
Democrats: Wepropose free lumber.
Republican platform: Free whisky
Democrats: Give the builders free
laths and free shingles.
Republican platform: Give the build
ers free whisky. =,
"Free whisky rather than free WOO"
SAYS the Republican platform. That's
ali right" the Rev. Robert lngersoll de:
clares.
We know you propose these things,
aud we are delighted that you have
stopped pretending to be for Protection
to American industries. II you leave
on sugar an average rate OF IS per cent,
it is because sugar is Southern pro-
duct and the Sugar Trust is your friend
and ally. Ii you leave more than 100
per cent on rice, it is because rice votes
your Democratic Free Trade ticket. You
would do the same for wool il it lived in
the same low latitude.
Did you ever hear Tint West Virginia
is interested in salt, lumber, laths,
shingles and wool? Did it ever occur to
Won that the development Of West Viz
ginia would be delayed to eternity ii
these things were put on the free list
and allowed to remain there that long,?
Do YOU seriously think that the people
OF West Virginia are going to vote in
favor OF foreign salt, foreign lumber for
cigu laths, foreign shingles and foreign
wool, when the life Of the State depends
largely on the production OF these very
things?
You know is not true that the
Republican platform declares for free
whisky, though it does prefer no in.
ternal tax on whisky to no protective
duty on wool. The Republican party
should have declared in favor Of the
abolition OF the whole Internal Revenue
system-just what your party demanded
before it got its nose into the public
meal trough, and just what the National
Prohibition party declares for in its
platform, and just what the Prohibition
party Of West Virginia declared for in
its Parkersburg convention. You know
very well that the Prohibition party is
not in favor OF free whisky" in the
