a QUESTION OF LIBERTY.
what High Protection Means and Why It's
burdens Must BE Removed.

burdens Must he Removed.
Hon. Roger @. Mills makes q con-
else statement of the necessity OF tariff
reform when he says that 1.-THE same
broad principle runs through indus
trial and human freedom and 1t Is
bound to prevail"
Between the parties on the tariff
issue, the question is altogether this
of liberty. There is no political lib
erty apart from industrial and COM
mercial liberty. IL is not ques-
tion of percentages, but of system OF
government. The government OF a
free people must, to preserve their
freedom, take their money as taxes.
AS long as taxes are just and equal, it
makes no great difference how they
are levied. Tariff taxes considered
merely as taxes for government rev.
enue and restricted to government
needs are the best. Beyond this they
are the worst--the most insidious in
struments of oppression that tyranny
ever devised to accomplish by fraud
and indirection what 1t fears to at
tempt by an open exercise of power.
If it were not question of liberty,
the whole issue on the tariff would
soon disappear Sixty million people
would not long listen to wrangles over
percentages, but when their rights
and their freedom are concerned they
will listen, and it will not be long be-
fore they will cease to listen, to act.
The whole plutocratic power of the
country is massed in support OF the
system that has made plutocracy pos
sible in America; that has fastened on
the country an industrial and CONNER
cial slavery under which the vast ma
jority of the people are required to
blindly abandon their industrial and
commercial rlghts-not to the gov
ernment they have established, but to
class created by class law; with none
of the restraints of an official govern
| ing class but with all its vices.
The conditions thus created are not
to be borne by a people that desires to
remain free. Not only is the serfdom
of labor consequent upon them, but Il
worse consequence is the negation OF
the right of the American citizen to
control his own affairs in every thing
that does not involve unjust Interior
ence with the rights of others. If the
American citizen has any liberty at all it
is the liberty of wearing what clothing
he pleases without Government inter-
ference; of selecting his own food, of
determining for himself what articles
it is best for him to buy and what not
to buy.
1t is not denied, and it can not be
denied. that the protectionists refuse
to concede that any such right exists.
Their whole theory is that the Ameri-
can citizen must be forced by u juggle
of the tax laws to use goods OF one
brand only-the goods that have the
American Protective Trust brand on
them.
President Cleveland fifty character
lied this system when he called it "tho
communism of capital" 1t is tyr
amy that will be overthrown. The
question is of liberty, not of per cent

CIAYION,S MURDER.
why the Democratic Party Is in No Wise
Responsible for the Crime.


Responsible for the Crime.
The assassination of John nj. Clay
ton, an Arkansas Republican politi-
clan, is attributed by Republican news
papers as a matter of course to his
political opponents. II u Pennsylva-
MIA Democratic politician had been
murdered under similar circumstances
Republican newspapers would be
quite content to await the develop
ment of evidence in the case before
they would ever admit that politics
had any thing 10 do with the matter.
To the jaundiced eyes OF the Repub-
lican journalist the South is a Nazar-
eth out of which nothing but evil can
possibly come. AT the same time it is
fact that more murders are COM
mitted in the Northern States in pro
portion to population than in the
South and some of them within the
last twelve months were due to politi-
cal animosities.
About thirty years ago an assassina-
tion of character quite similar TO
that of Clayton occurred in the town
of Jacksonville, Ill. Hon. Murray Nc
Connell, one of the ablest lawyers in
that State and much more promi-
nent Democrat than Mr.. Clayton has
been II Republican, was shot dead in
his Office at Jacksonville by some one
who fired at him through she window.
The assassin was never discovered,
but nobody ever attributed the mur-
der to politics. There were, however,
quite as good reasons for styling that
% "political murder as there are for
doing the same in the case of Clay
ton.
1t is not reasonable to believe that
the assassination of Clayton was due
to the fact that he was a contestant for
seat in Congress. For years it was
the practice of the Republican carpet
baggers down South to contest the
seats of Democratic Congressmen-olec'
on trivial grounds with the inevitable
result that the Republican Congresses
would seat the contestants in spite oi
the fact that they had been beaten
thousands of votes at the cleo
ton. When those fraudulent con,
tests were made the people of the
South were greatly excited, but none
of the carpet-bag contestants ever suf-
fered any bodily harm. Is il likely
that now, when the Southern people
have settled down to condition oi
thorough tranquility and when nc
political point can be gained by them
by resorting to violence, such an assassi'
nation would be committed for political
reasons? The idea is too absurd to be
entertained for moment.
Clayton is represented to have been
u man of amiable disposition. He re-
ceived the votes of many Democrats.
He was beaten by so large majority
that his contest was hopeless In the
face of these facts it is difficult to be-
lieve that his murder was conspired
by his political opponents. The Dem
ocratic Legislature of Arkansas has
offered large reward for the detec,
ton and arrest of the murderer. In
so doing il has not merely taken d
proper step for the vindication of the
law, but it has given the lie to the
charge that the assassination of Clay
ton was a political murder. Harris

MORMON missionari es are again at work
in the southern part of Dubois County,
Ind, but SO far have made no converts to
their polygamous teachings. There is
large-sizsd following OF anti-polygamous
Mormons in Southern Indiana, mostly
among the smaller farmers. The district
is presided over by Elder Moses X. Scott,
and comprises Dubois, Floyd, Johnson,
Crawford, Perry and Harrison Counties.
The membership is about eight hundred.

Proseiytes as Missionaries.

II the Missionary Review is correct, the
100000 converts in the foreign mission
fields are setting good example to the
many millions OF Christians at home, for
these converts have sent out 10000 mission
aries, or one out of every 100, while their
more fortunately born brethren send but
one In 5000. The converts servo as native
preachers, teachers, catechists and lay help

THE FLOORS GAVE WAY.
A Fourteen Story Structure In Chicngs ,
Partially Wrecked.


CHICAGO, Feb. 1S-The "Owings Block, +"
u new fourteen story structure at the cor
ner OF Dearborn and Adams streets,
this city, was partially wrecked Sunday
morning The accident was probably
caused by over-weighting the twelfth
story with one of the huge water tanks in
tended to furnish hydraulic pressure
for the Gle Yators. Under the heavy
weight the floor tiling gave way,
falling through from floor to floor
until the combined mass had gathered such
an impetus and tremendous weight that
every floor down to the basement was
crushed through, causing the ruin OF
most of the interior partition walls
A few workmen employed In
the basement heard the crashing
timbcrs and effected their escape,
but had the accident occurred ON week
day, when large numbers OF men are at
work in the building, great loss OF life
would have resu ted The loss is estimated
ut about s4,0OO.

Nor are we in this case dealing with wild
Indians. The Cherokees are educated and
able men-yes, cultivated men and women.
Their life is the life OF civilization, and their
country is governed well and deliberately.
They are perfectly aware of their own rights
and best interests, and are rich enough to up
hold them. In Vinita, their principal bust
ness center, you may find twenty or thirty
large mercantile establishments. some Of them
carrying $50, 600 worth of goods, all owned
and carried on by the Cherokees. In Table
quah, their capital, you will see an elaborate
state house, and find a government which
contains legislature, executive and judiciary.
You may If yeu have taste that way,
read their code of laws, or hear the two
branches of the legislature discuss new meas
ures for the good of the nation. Or, if you
prefer, you may ride a few miles out of town
TO their beautiful new seminary for girls, cost
ing round hundred thousand dollars and paid
for out OF the money coming from the lease
OF the Cherokee strip. 1t Is no savage people
that educates its girls in such a building,
teaching them dead and living languages
and al the usual branches" as the cata-
logues say, and not only builds the buildings
at public expense, but educates the children,
and even clothes them, If necessary, at the
cost of the state; doing the same thing for
Its boys in another school not far away.
And it might he interesting to inquire what
other southern state or community has
tablshed, at the expense of the state, a
$1,000 high school for colored chldreni-

HOW IT Is VIEWED.

Chamberla in Expects to BE the
Gate City to the Best Part Of the
New Lands.
Special to the Globe.
CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., Aug. 11.-Suc-
Tess has at last favored the efforts Of
those indomitable spirit who have for
The last eight years fought for the open
ing of the great Sioux reservation.
They have won fight which is of inesti-
mable value to the entire Northwest,
and they deserve the congratulations of
Ill. Repeate dly the fight has been all
but won, but at the last moment some
thing has invariably happened to pre-
vent the realization of our hopes. But
our people have never been Subdued.
They have always come to the front
with smiling faces and increased vigor
until at last the struggle has resulted in
a glorious vlctOry-a victory which is
sure to have a wonderful influence in
the development and progress of the
Northwest, and cause the influx of
tide of immigration never before wit
messed in the settlement of the great
West, and no particular section will be
benefited as will Chamberlain and
Brule county. The ratification of the
OlOuX Dill by Lne lnuldnS means nucn
to the city of Chamberlain. 1t means
that she will be
THE GATE CITY
to the millions of choice acres situated
along the White river valley directly
west of the city, the choicest position of
the reservation by long odds. 1t means
that several railroads will at once be
extended to this point and pass onward
to the rich mineral and coal fields of the
Black Hills. 1t means that there is no
other city in the West that enjoys one
half the favorable advantages possessed
by Chamberlain for the erection of a
prosperous and flourishing city. 1t
means that every ounce of material
which goes to build up cities and de-
velop the country west of the Missouri
river must enter through Chamberlain's
portals. 1t also means that Chamber
lain will enter the capital contest with
conditions in her favor possessed by no
other candid ate. Chamberlain will
surely become jobbing and manu-
featuring center, and two years hence
will be the metropolis of South Dakota.
Well may our people rejoice right roy
ally. They have won glorious vic
tory, and have reason to rejoice. They
have been tried as by fire and never
found wanting. They will not fail in
the fight that is but commencing for
future greatn ess.
