Replying to the VINDICAToR's state
ment, that after quarter of century of
High Tariff 900 workingmen are TO-
day out of work because, on protected
industry, their employers had attempted to
cut down their wages 10 per cent; and
that under High tariff wheat had been
going down till it had gotten to Scents a
bushel, our esteemed contemporary, the
Harrisonburg ''Spirit'' says:
As to the number of strikes, it only shows
that the laboring man has made great advan-
ces since free trade times. In those days they
worked him so hard and fed him so low that
he had neither the time nor the means to Or
ganize strike.
The defect in our cotemporary's argu-
ment is that the strikes took place under
a High Tariff which was, according to its
theory, to give the laboring men plenty of
work, high wages and high feed. 1t is a
sad mockery Of the laboring man to tell
him that his striking to get money enough
to feed his wife and little ones is "great
advance" for him. 1t is the advance to
! hunger and poverty, and If he is old
enough to remember the low tariff times
from 1916 to 1860 he must yearn for those
days of plenty of work and prosperity as
described by James A. Garfield and James
6. Blaine in another part of to-day 3 paper.
Alas it is too true that an empty stomach
and bare back are among the "great ad-
vances" the workingman has made under
High Tariff.
About the low price Of wheat our CO.
temporary says:
1t is also true that the farmer has to sell his
| wheat too low, but we ask our able cotempo-
rary if he proposes to remedy that by running
our home market?
Then this means let the High Tariff
stand? Will that satisfy our farmers, with
IS cents for wheat2 Will they not yearn
for the days of low tariff and good prices
instead. Here is the ruling of wheat I'M
der Low and High Tariff. Take three
years of Low Tariff:

Is this frightful load of debt an evidence
OF the benefit the farmer derives from a
High Tariff !? Or is it an exhibit of the
skinning effect of tariff tax that has made
him pay $47 to the government for every
800 spent on himself?
These are cold facts. Their cause may
be questioned, but their existence is not
disputed by any one. They are facts
worth bordering by those who live by
agriculture-or rather by those who strdg :
gle hard to live by it. Twenty years looks
long enough to try tariff tax that brings
about this condition of affairs, doesn't it?
Is there any road to better and more
prosperous days, you ask The Dem
Ocratic party thinks there is. It is the
road of low taxes. 1t was tried from the
year 1916 up to the opening of the year
that preceded the civil war, and made a
prosperous country. The tariff tax in that
fourteen years ranged between S25 on the
500. and SIS on the 500, in contrast with
the tariff of SAT on the 500, which is the
rate since the civil war. Do you wish
evidence of it? Let us for the occasion
put aside enthusiastic Democratic descrip.
tions of those happy fourteen years, and
take the opinions of Republicans. James
A Garfield, the leader of the Republican
side of the House of Representatives in
1878, and afterwards President, made a
speech there on March 9th of that year, in

New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1888-09-26
Fire-Eating loads.

The author of "Canoe and Camp
Life in British Guiana is responsible
for a remarkable toad story. One of
his men Alexander Paulie, who had
seen a good deal Of bush life, was ac-
quainted with the habits of many
birds and quadrupeds, and about
animals, especially tigers, could tell
wonderful tales.
His stories Of the fabulous "water-
mules" and swater-monkeys'' pre-
pared me to accept just as much Of
his stories as | liked, so that one
night in camp, when he asked me if [
had ever seen a toad eat fire, / con-
scientiously replied in the negative,
and added that did not believe that
any one else had seen them do so
either. He said that when he next
saw a toad he would show me that
1T could swallow a live coal without
any apparent Inconvenience.
When, therefore, one evening in an
open-sided house on the Upper Dem
erara a number of large common
toads came hopping about on it's
clay floor, Paulie said that he would
prove his words. He got a few small
live Goals about the size of dice from
the wood fire, and threw them on the
ground in front off toad, while
closely watched the result.
The toad hoped up to one of the
red-hot pieces of wood ember, leant
forward, darted out it's tongue, to
which the coal adhered, and drawing
it in hastily swallowed the tempting,
morsel seemingly to it's entire salts
faction. It remained stationary for
a short space OF time, and then
hoped merrily away. Paulie then
informed me that though red-hot
wood ember did not hurt these crea-
lures, a piece Of red-hot nail was too
much for them. He made the expert
ment once with a short piece of red
hot nail, which the unsuspecting toad
swallowed, but the iron burnt its way
out, and the toad went iuto convuI
sions which terminated in death.

ST. LOUIS, March GA foreign special,
dated this morning, says; Arrangements
for the prize fight are completed, and
those who are to be present have arranged
to leave London this afternoon to join
Mitchell and Sullivan in France. The
fight will, in all probability, take place on
Friday. Angel, the well known sporting
broker on the stock exchange, has been
chosen referee. Sullivan will be backed
by Bsrnitt and Ashton. Holstein
will be his umpire. Bsldock and PONY"

Both Jem Smith and Jake Kilrain will be
present, and there runs very loud whis-
per to the effect that, after the fight with
Mitchell, John L. Sullivan intends to settle
old scores with both of these non-fighting
fighters.
Sullivan's manager, Phillips, accom-
panied by half dozen American sporting
men, arrived at Queenstown, on the steam
ship Servia, yesterday afternoon. They
will start for France tonight. There is
very little betting, and the latest figures
are to in favor of Sullivan.

in the engineers hall in this place March
6, 1888, the following resolutions were

Whereas, the strike now existing
on the Chicago, Burlington and

the management of said road to discuss
the wages and rights of the engineers and
fremen of said rond, and feeling assured
that the measures taken by the engineers
and firemen on the above named road to
secure their rights are just and proper in
the eyes of all fair minded people; there
fore, be it

neers and iremen of Division
1874, Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, and Lodge 156, Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen, in convention as
sembled, employed on the International

extend to p. M. Arthur and f. p. Sar-
gent and the engineers and firemen of the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railway,
our full support, both morally and finan-
cially, to the bitter end.
Resolved, Second, That we unanimously
endorse the resolution adopted by the en-
gineers of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers, held at Tammany hall on
March 4, 1888.
Resolved, Third, That copy of these
resolutions be sent to r. M. Arthur, G. G.

An Old Man Commits Suicide.
'pecisl Telegram to the Statesman.

BAsTRoP, March 6.-An old German by
the name @ Adolph Verght living about
eighteen miles from here, has committed
suicide by shooting himself with a
Winchester rifle. Last Wednesday
morning he arose and taking
his gun went out to an old
cotton seed house, placed the muzzle to
his forehead, touched the trigger with a
stick blowing his head off. He was an
old man, and financial trouble is supposed
to be the cause.
A man by the name of Hanke, returning
home from town in two-mule wagon, at
tempted to ford the river, but he and one
of the mules were drowned. He was drunk
and reckless, and drove into the river
while it was up. His body has not beeu
found,Sand his friends fear that il may
be carried far below by the swift current.

TRAGEDY IN A BANK.
A Cashier Fatally Shot by a Robber in a
Pennsylvania Bank.

A CaSnler Fatally SnoG Dy hobDer In q
Pennsylvania Bank.
PITTsBURG, March 6.-The Chronicle
Telegraph's Bradford, Pa special says a
desperate attempt was made to rob the
Bradford National bank shortly before
noon to-day. At the time there was no
one in the bank but the cashier, Harvey
Tomlinson, who was engaged in looking
over some accounts. Hearing noise, he
turned and discovered young man be-
hind the counter.
Just as the latter grabbed up large
bundle of bank notes Tomlinson seized
the robber, and desperate struggle en-
sued. Finding that he was getting worst
ed, the thief drew a revolver aud shot
Tomliuson fatally. He then took the
money and started out, but the report of
the pistol had already attracted crowd,
and the robber, seeing that escape was
impossible, placed the revolver to his
forehead and fred, wounding himself be-
yond hope of recovery The rumor that
the robber was Tascott is unfounded. 1t
is supposed that his name is Kimball and
that he came from Philadelphia.
A later report says before committing
suicide Kimball shot, and probably fatally
wounded, A. L. Bleich, zone of his rursuers.
Kimball is dead and TomIinson is uncon
scious and cannot revive.
