DARING TRAIN ROBBERS.
DesperadOes Loot an Express
Car i'm Ohio.
The Messenger Bound and a
Brakeman Shot.

As train No. on the Cincinnati Sam
husky and Cleveland road was pulling out
of Urbana, Ohio, at 8 o'clock the other morn
ing two masked men broke into the Adams
express car. and, presenting revolvers at the
head OF Archer l. Scudder, the express meSsen-
ger, commanded him To throw up his hands.
They then tied him securely, robbed the safe
Of packages containing il is said, so, 600 and
other vRluables. While they were at work
. brakeman attempted To enter the car and
was shot at by one robber. He gave tho
alarm, and the train was slowed up to give
an opportunity TO capture the robberS but
they jumped from the train Just as IL WAS
entering West Liberty and disappeared in
the darkness, it then being just about i've
o'clock.
The riding of the safe was short work and
by the time they were through Scudder had
regained his voice and began to shout. At this
one OF the masked men placed a revolver at
his head and pulled the trigger, but the weapon
snapped without exploding the cartridge.
The other robber then interfered and saved
the messengers life by standing between him
and hispal, saying: I'VE don't need to kin
him"
After leaving the small station of West
Liberty the crew were under the guns OF the
robbers and could do nothing. AS the train
slackened just before reaching Tifiin the rob
bers jumped and fed 10 the woods Scudder

them. They returned the fire with a volley
from both revolverS but did no damage.
A reward has been offered for their cap
ture and a large posse of men went hunting
for them near Bellefontaine. Superintendent
Bimple, OF the Adams Express Company, in
q circular describes the men as follows: Five
feet eleven inches in height, weighing in the
neighborhood of $50 pounds each, wearing
plain black overcoats, one with a cap, the
other with hat"
Scudder is about fifty years old, lives in
Cincinnati, and has been on this run since
the Adams Company took charge of the ex-
press business on it, three years ago. He
was previously in the same company's en-
ploy on the Ohio River line.
1t is understood that no one except the
messenger is permitted in the express cars,
but this rule is violated every day, and ac-
cess to the car is as free TO the smoker.
The robbers went through Scudder's
pockets and distracted therefrom his watch
and about $3.50 in money. He had re-
ceived his months salary that night and
placed it In the safe, and that was among the
booty secured by the robbers.

The Atrocious Tax on Tin,

There is no tin plate manufac-

it is a commodity of very general
use among the masses of the people,
they are taxed over Sc, 100000 year
by tariff duties.
cit is now proposed to increase
this tax on tin plate l25 per cent,
which would impose a tax of nearly
$l4 900 900 on the tin plate now
consumed in the country. This tax
is demanded by tin syndicate or
combine that proposes to msnufac-
ture tin plate here for our conusmp.
tion.''
The above paragraphs appeared in
the Philadelphia Times. The state
ment is either true or it is false As
this effects the farming ard canning
business very deeply, it becomes the
duty of farmers to ascertain the truth
or falsity of it and inquire into the
effect such measure may have on
their business. When a syndicate
demands the enactment Of law it
is pretty good evidence that the pub.
tic is to be skinned.

liberty of their neighbors across the way;
and the assumption that they have such a
right is contrary to all law and Justice; the
peoples rights are in the direction of giving
out new franchises, if they can find takers,
but beyond that their legal and moral power
ceases"
Which is 10 say the people were made
for the benefit Of the corporation and not the
corporation for the benefit of the people.
We will just say TO all this class of advo-
Gates Of the Hsurpations of monopoly that
the people have several remedies besides
granting more franchises. They haye the
right of revolution, if the evil demands its
exercise. They have the power and right
to build by the State a competing line
if railroad, or establish plant if for
some other business, and destroy utterly
any corporation that has become public
oppression rather than benefit; but the
public through its government has the right
md is bound to exercise it, to revoke any
charter il has granted, resume its franchise,
appraise the plant and divide the proceeds
among the stockholders, and the right to
regulate and supervise natural monopolies.
These are clearly rights possessed or retain
I'd by the Si9te? The idea that one genera
lion can give away or dispose of natural
| rights, al bind future generations by their
acts is being exploded. The greatest truth
put forth in the charter of American rights
is embraced in these lines
All men are created equal and have an
inalienabie right to life liberty and the pur-
suit Of happiness. The crimes that have
been committed under the name of Vested
Rights are numerous as those committed in
the name Of Liberty.
When monopoly has usurped or destroy
ed competition and by Its great power op.
presses the citizen, it is time for the govern
meut to interpose its power for the protec-
tion of the citizen and see that equal and
exact justice is accorded to all parties, and
the robbery Of the poor and weak by the
strong and rich shall cease. This is the
solid base on which true socialism must rest,
and true civilization expand in health and
beauty.
