Tacoma Railroad Talk.

TACOMA, w. T., October 21.-The
Northern Pacific Railroad Company has
purchased the branch road running from
here to Seattle, distance of about thirty
miles.
1t is stated in well-informed railroad
circles that the Northern Pacific is me-
gotiating for the purchase of the Lake
Shore, Seattle and Eastern Railroad.
which is now being constructed from
Seattle to some connecting transconti-
mental line.
TACOMA, w. T., October 21.-Judge
Allyn, in the Territorial District Court,
yesterday dissolved the injunction against
the Northern Pacific Railroad Company,
granted in 1886, forbidding them to in
terfere with the Pacific Postal Telegraph
Company in the construction of telegraph
lines along the right-of-way of the North
ern Pacific between Tacoma and Kalama.
The decision will lead to the cutting
down of the Postal Telegraph poles if the
Railroad Company desire it.

Busine IS Taxed to Death.

The most striking events of the pend
ing National campaign are those which
indicate that the Republicans who SYM
pathize with the broad statesmanlike
and philos optical tariff views of General
Garfield, are resolved to vote next No
vember for the Democratic champion of
reform, Grover Cleveland, and that they
are 80 numerous as to excite the fears of
the managers of the Republican canvass
in many States hitherto considered i'm
pregnably Republican. Every day there
is some fresh evidence of the progress of
this revolution. and among the Eastern
manufacturers it has already attained
very formidable proportions. Among
the latest to declare themselves
in favor of tariff reduction is
the great New Haven provision firm of
Sperry q Barnes. Mr.. Sperry states that in
the course of year his business requires
$4,000 sacks Of fine salt and about 1 800
tons of the coarse article. The former
he imports from Liverpool and the latter
from Turks Island On the fine salt the
duty is % cents sack and on the coarse
s cents a hundred pounds. His chief
objection to these duties is that they are
a serious obstacle to the expansion of his
export trade. If they were removed he
could easily compete with Germany and
other countries which export provisions.
Another article essential in his business
feet year for boxes in which to
ship his product. There is duty on
lumber Of $2 thousand feet. If it is not
repealed now, as thought to be, the rapid
depletion of our Western forests will very
soon compel us to go to Canada for lum-
ber. Saltpetre is third necessary ar
ticle TO him. He yearly uses some twelve
thousand pounds Of it. It is imported
from India and pays duty of a cent a
pound. On the tin in the pals he uses
he pays duty of one cent a pound; on
the forty or fifty tons of sugar, pa cents
a pound, and on the thirty or forty tons
of nails for his packing boxes, over 43
per cent.
Mr.. Sperry's conclusion is that an in
dustry which is hampered in nearly
every direction by the imposition of a
tax cannot reach its legitimate expansion
and command the markets of the world
in competition with produces who obtain
these essential articles free. "You can
see," he says, "that we are almost taxed
to death, and these taxes are levied on
materials, the majority of which We
obtain abroad. These taxes don't pro.
tect any home industries where we could
buy these materials, for if there were we
could 60 elsewhere to purchase them.
If we can get our raw material free, it
takes So much off the cost of our goods
| it enables us to sell more and do more
business. The cheaper we can sell oul
products the more markets we can reach
outside OF our country. We can do more
business, employ more men, who will
have more work and get more pay."-

Harrison OFF His Base.

General Harrison is unbalanced. Or
perhaps he is an intentional liar. He told
a delegation of visitors few days since
that "every revenue tariff has been fol-
lowed by business and industrial depres-
sion." This is very wide Of the truth.
In fact the very opposite is the case.
Every change in the tariff toward lower
rates has induced business and industrial
prosperity. Take, for instance, the period
following the adoption of the Walker Act
in 1S46. Instead of depressing business
or industries it inaugurated season of
remarkable prosperity. And right here
in New England the effect OF the
Walker tariff was particularly bene-
fetal, so much so that in 1857
every one of it's representatives in Con-
gress who voted at all voted for still
further reduction. Every representative
from Connecticut voted for the reduction,
proving that the experience of our State
and Nation under a low tariff had been
beneficial.
General Harrison, if he knows any
thing of the tariff, knows that he spoke
falsely when he said that every revenue
tariff has been followed by business and
industrial depression" Such misstate.
ments destroy confidence in his candor
and inspire mistrust. A man who will
publicly make such a false declaration is
either dishonest or ignorant. General
Harrison should be more careful.
He is evidently off his base-[ Water

Heavy Rains In the Desert.

Tucson, Ariz., October 21.-Heavy
rains set in west of here last night, ex-
tending well into California and reached
Southern Arizona to-day. 1t has rained
steadily all afternoon, with everv pros
pect of steady nights rain. This is of
great benefit to stock raisers, as the rains
this summer have been light.
WRECKS AND DELAYS.
The west-bound special freight was
wrecked seventeen miles west of Tucson,
about 5 o'clock last night. Seven
cars and the engine were badly
wrecked. The east-bound passenger
train, due here Friday night, and one
due last night at o'clock, did not arrive
until five this morning owing to washouts

FAILED AFTER THIRTY YEARS.
Facts Concerning the WindAUp of
Nathan COrwlth & Co.

CHICAGO, October 2l.-The failure of
the lead firm of Nathan Corwith & Co. is
still topic of conversation in financial
circles here. The attachments filed in
the local courts cover the assets of Cor
with & Co., and the Corwiths individu-
ally, to the amount OF over $500 900, and
in general way it is known that the
liabilities are at least $2OO,OO0. The sale,
by Corwith, of large block of real estate
the day before, hastened the action of
the Union National Bank. Corwith's
transfers on record, for two days, were
$235, 900, and coming on the eve OF an
attachment suit, have given rise to con-
siderable talk. The Sheriff has attached
at least hall million in real estate,
which it is thought will be ample protec-
ton for the local creditors, unless the
number is much larger than is supposed.
The firm of Corwith & Co. was started
thirty years ago.

DENTS Proposition.
WASHINGTON, October 21.-Secretary
Villas said yesterday that the Sioux Chiefs
have formally notified him that they had
rejected by large majority the propo-
sition made by the President, through
the Secretary, last Wednesday. They
submitted counter-proposition, agree
ing to accept $1.25 per acre, the money
to be paid at once. This proposition, the
Secretary declared could not for a moment
be entertained by the Government. A
small minority signi6ed willingness to
accept the proposition. This concluded
all negotiations. The chiefs were pre-
sented to the President yesterday after
noon and left for their reservation to-day.
Secretary Villas expressed the opinion
that ole of the principal reasons for the
rejection of his proposition was due to
the fact that the execution of the law
would break up their tribal relations, thus
depriving the chiefs Of their present au-
thority.

Since the commepceme Mt OF his public

Since the commenceme mt OF his public
career, Mr.. Cleveland has been m ost for
tunate man, in all his aspirations, and as
yet there are no signs OF his good luck de-
serting him. The st. Louis convention was
in oil respects everything he could ask, and
now comes the Chicago conclave, which, to
the eyes of an unsuspecting outsider, would
seem to be managed in his direct interest.
If the President had personally controlled
its movements it could hardly have served
his purposes better. Not only have the Cir
cumstances of the case favored his cause,
but some Of the prominent men--Foraker
and Editor Smith, for example,-could hard
ly have been more efficient agents in his be-
half if they had been directly in his pay.
AS for Elkins, he has earned cabinet posi-
ton or first-class foreign mission Wash.
