TRUSTS TENDERLY TREATED.

The Home Market Theory Is Brilliant
Thing For Monopolies.
There has beeT much talk among
prominent Republicans and in leading
Republican papers about crushing the
trusts. The people were led to believe
such CO them, at least, as are child
like and simple-minded-tha the pres
ent Congress- would distinguish itself by
putting an end to the more rapacious
trusts. The Globe-Democrzt, of st.
Louis, which is one sfF the leading Re-
publican organs of the country. has had
much to say in this hneApromising re-
peatedly shat Congress- would wipe out
the trusts. Even the New York Tribune
INDUCED in some harmless talk about
trusts FORGETTING their rights to protec-
zion, protection being, according to the
Tribune, a. sort of unselfisf, patriotic
saiing which no individ zilor com bination
of:individuals have a night to use for
private gain
Now them let us see how Mr.. McKin-
lay proposes to crush two specimen
trusts of the country. The lead trust
has been oae of the Chief of sinners
among the trusts, and is also the largest
trust in the country which is protected
by the tariff About 81 per cent of all
the white lead produced IN the country
is,controlled by the trust Not long ago
it manifested its dare-deil spirit by ar
bitsarily raising the pricsof white lead,
as,if to threw down challenge to Mr..
McKinleyis.eommitte Bhe trust has
under the present law protection of
tkree cents a pound on white lead equiv
alent- to an nd valorem duty of more than
20 per cent The profits OF the trust are,
according-ta the Globe-Dsmocrat, about
50 per cent on the actnn1 capital in
vested. The same papersays that ''the
task, of wip1ng out the white lead con-
spiracy comparatively easy"
Mr.. Mckinley, however. declines to
undertake this comparatively easy
task" He,leaves the tEnst its protec-
ton of three cents.
The Naaoual LinseeH Oil Trust is
treated. still more considerably. Its
protective duty of 25 cents gallon on
linseed ois is s'crushea'r and a duty of
so cents,a.gallon is given instead. This
trust has>also shown recently how little
it fears Mr.. McKinley's> tariff tinkering

TARIFF CT 1888.

so that free foreign WOOL and high
priced domestic wool go togesher. Way9
Because the demand is lessened for
home woods unless foreign woods are
mixed with them. therefore, the easier
the entrance of foreign wool the Eore
the demand and the higher the price of
domestic wool That is the reason If this
increased demand Of domestic wool ran
it up in price 25 per cent. higher, it
were better for the manufacturer to
stand this than to pay SO per cent duty
on the foreign wool which had been
mixed with it heretofore under the
existing tariff.
The advance of Is per cent. in the
price of domestic wool, and the saving
of so per cent. on foreign wool leaves .
clear saving of Is per cent on the
finished goods; and the consumer would
get his share Of the saving.

UNDER LIBERTY'S SHADE.
Why Bedloe's Island Is Good Point to
Receive Immigrants.

Receive Immigrants.
Washington dispatch: At the first
joint meeting Of the Senate and House
committees on immigration Secretary
Window and Solicitor Hepburn, of the
Treasury department, were present, and
the reasons that had induced
him to take charge of the landing
OF immigrants at New York. In the
course of this statement 1t was developed
that the Ford committee of the last
Congress in their report recommended
that the national government take
charge of this matter. The reports of
the manner I'm which operations at
Castle Garden were conducted and OF
the condition Of affairs there, the Sec
retary said, also seemed to warrant, IL
not demand, a change.
The Secretary was asked why he had
selected Bedloe's island as the landing
place for immigrants under the new ar
rangement. He answered that Cover
nor's Island would have suited him just
as well; In fact was examined by him
with view to locating the landing sta
tion there; but the military authorities
objected to giving up control OF the island
and he was compelled to look elsewhere.
The Treasury Department had foothold
on Bedloe's island, and 1t was In addi-
tion deemed to be the proper place to
land Inn ~. iss ~ esss, ho al sadn of the
statue OF Liberty. The Island contained
thirteen acres; five of them are devoted
to the park surrounding the statue, and
the remainder may be utilized for the
necessary buildings for the accommoda-
tiod of immigrants and the transaction
OF business These buildings will be
erected on the west side of the island.

BLOODYBATTLE INPERU
FRIENDS OF POLITICAL CANDIDATES
INDULGE IN A RIOT.

Terrible Slaughter of the Contendine
Forces-A Horrible Butchery by Indians
Maddened by Liquor-Scores OF Tnhabit-
ants Sacrificed In Their Drunken Fury.
Lima cable: The antagonism ex
listing between the two candidates for
the Presidential nomination has result
ed In battle In the streets OF Huanta
between the two parties and many on
both sides were killed, among them being
Senor Lazona, deputy of Congress and
head of the revolution, and DIR. Urbina,
chief Of the Rosas party.
DIR. Urblna, having seen five members
of his family fall at his side during the
eight hours of the combat, left with the
remaining members to seek refuge at
the Matrise church. There he found a
number OF women, children, and old
people. The priest before the horrible
tragedy took place, exhorted the Indi-
ans to desist, In the name of humanity,
from their horrible mode of procedure,
but when the Indians are drunk they
are most furious and incapable of rea-
soning.
AS they drew near the church,
threatening to burn 1t, DIR. Urbina, un-
der terrible emotion, knowing that he
hdu DOcu Jnc only CAUSE lOT SUCH dCJlOH
on the part OF the Indians, and wishing
to save the lives of the many innocent
persons who had taken refuge I'm the
church, resolved without losing time to
sacrifice himself and terminate the
anguish of his friends, Leaving the
church he addressed his enemies In the
following manner:
81 am Urbina, for whom you are look
Ing. Kill me II you like but the per-
sons in the church are not my accom-
plices. DO not injure them"
The priest, to whom he announced his
determination, gave him his benediction
and accompanied him to the door of the
church, opening wicket and bidding
him good-by, sobbing as he did so. The
priest intended to return and close the
church, but as he arrived at the porch
he became deprived of reason. A few
moments afterward the head of this
victim Of the implacable hatred and bar
barity OF his countrymen was to be seen
on the Plaza de Huanta.
The guerrillas. in their drunken fury,
not being satisfied with the murder of
DIR. Urbina, continued to slaughter the
inhabitants and to sack and burn the
town for many hours afterward. Over
100 lives were sacrificed to the old ran
cor existing between the families of
LaZona and Urbina.

say II was Sanduskv, eighty-five miles
