was acting as messenger for the president of
the United States, aR6 his prisoner was COM
pletely out of his Chief Hubbard'sl control.
A New Petition Granted.
The attorneys for the prisoner immedi-
ately drew up a new petition asking that a

der his commission as messenger to bring
Burke into Illinois and to turn him over to
the proper authorities This he had not
done, but had placed him in a police station
of the city of Chicago, under the iurisdic-
ton of Chief Hubbard The petition al
leges that Hubbard was heard to say that he
would not send Burke to Jail before noon OF
Aug. IL, as he had purpose of his own in
keeping him out Judge Baker issued an or
der for a writ, as PRAYED for. The principal
purpose of this proceeding is to obtain free

How Pro,.c,io. protects.

Being asked, Has the character of
tariff doctrine undergone a change in re-
cent years." Senator Dan Voorhees, re-
piled:
Yes. The ideas of Henry Clay ON the
tariff are no more in harmony with repnb.
lican policy today than are the ten com.
mandmeDts with robbHg stage coaches
Henry Clay's tariff was to be temporary,
and in no case over 50 per cent. The re-
publican tariff Is permanent, and often
exceeds 100 per cent. Ii does not depend
on the needs of revenue, but is for the
sole protection of the manufacturer. This
bold claim to right to enrich one class
at the expense OF another is wrong. and
will he met at all times with the agrees
sive courage Of men who know their cause
is just. This later idea of protection
legalizes plunderers like Carnegie to
grind the faces OF the poor, to Cypress
the helpless. To reduce wages and increase
prices of necessaries. They devour wild
ows houses. and for pretense make long
prayers and build music halls for the poor.
OF such the Savior OF mankind has said:
They shall receive greater damnstion :"
Carnegie's incomes is estimated at 81. 100

draws than thousands of his men receive

ity, Ulack with age, painless, carpetless
and uncomfortable. In summer they are
dreadful places to live in. The bare hills
tower on each side, making sort of urn
in which the hot sun turns the hot air
fetid. A walk through the streets tells
all. There are no DISCUSSES. The bare,
brown doOrsteps, the tables seen through
the open doorway. the frowsy bed stand
ing by the open window. all bear their
testimony of comfortless life in plain
view of the passer-by. You may know
how much OF how little the families have
to eat. Courtship and marriage, sick
ness and sorrow, deaths and births all go
on in the purview of men, for poverty
can afford no secrets.
There is protection for you. Not
enough to keep children from being born
in full view of the street, nor from dying
in the same way. Carnegie's income
from the labor of these men-not from
his own leaves them so poor a mother
can find no hour in all the day in which
to suffer the pangs of child birth in pri-
vacy.
Suppose the Savior were on earth
again and would relate the story of Dives.
Every Carnegie in the land would say
that Christ meant him. If our merciful
Lord thought hell a proper place for
Dives and those like him. l have no rea-
son to change the locality. At Bloom
field Carnegie ordered reduction of
wages, and when a strike was threatened
he forced the men with Pinkerton's
guards to submit in silence, and now they
bend their heads to heavy tasks and take
such pay as he sees fit to give them.
