Democracy. And yet we never find any
leader in any party proposing TO levy
good heavy system Of taxation on large
incomes, or large legacies, nor on large
landed estates. Such system Of taxa
tlOn would take the place Of customs du-
ties and relieve the people, placing some
Of the burdens Of the government where
they should belong. The Democratic
plan Of fighting the tariff and then ad-
mlttlng It's necessity is about played out.
Why do they not recommend something
to take the place Of the tariffH Internal
revenues, as we now have them, and
taxes on large incomes, large legacies
and large landed estates Is the plan of
the Peoples party. Neither wing Of the
plutOcratic party really desires any ef-
fectlve relief for the people, and dare not
earnestly, honestly and definitely propose
and advocate any effective plan Of relief.
I now come to the best and finest part
OF the whole address. II is solemnly AM
n0unced that the Democrats will not fuse
with the Peoples party! Hail, Columbia!
Who has asked them to? Last fall they
begged for fusion, in any and every way,
80 beat the hated Republicans" II was
kindly but firmly declined by the Peo-
ple's party. That has been the uniform
policy Of the Peoples party toward both
wings Of the Wall street party. Now
comes the bold and defiant statement
that the Democrats will not fuse with the
Peoples party, but will stand alone.
That is the surface indication. Below
that ia che half hidden determination 10
fuse with the Republicans to beat the
people. This is as 1t should be. And
thus do the forces marshal themselves
into the field for the coming conflict. II
is the people against the plutocratic
dragon, headquarters in Wall street, tail
quarters In the west and south. Let the
contest proceed. The people are ready.

SUICIDE BY AMMONIA.

The Terrible Agony Does Not Prevent Its Use.
No poison brings death with more
maddening agony than ammonia, but
that fact does not seem to discourage the
suicide. The man Harrowitz who de-
liberately swallowed fatal dose Of the
the drug in New York recently, Is only
one OF the many who have gone the am
monla route TO death in spite Of the OK
cruciRting pain. DR.. Blyth has recorded
thirty cases Of ammonia poisoning in the
small London district Of which he Is
health officer. Professor Mitchell men
tions twenty-five cases, and four have oc-
CURED during the short time DIR. Jen-
klns has been connected with the coro-
ner's Office In New York.
Cases Of slow poisoning from ammonia
are OF constant occurrence among men
who work In It's manufacture, or even
In decomposing substances which give 1t
of In considerable quantities. Ammo
mia, slowly and from day to day taken
into the system, causes the complexion
to lose its freshness, and the skin Of men
who get heavily impregnated with 1t has
diSsgreeable blotched and dlsColored
appearance.
Taken into the stomach from day to
day in even the small quantities used to
adulterate food, such as baking powder,
1t not only Injuries the complexion, but
attacks the lining Of the stomach, and is
the source Of much general i'll health.
The recent rapid increase In the use of
ammonia for various purposes, and the
consequent increase in It's manufacture,
have made It one of the most easily OBJ
tained pOisOns, and, although everybody
Is familiar with it in some form, there Is
q surprising amount Of ignorance Of It's
dangerous qualities. Its use as an adul-
terant In any food preparation Is simply
crime, and Is q crime should be pun
ished.

man who makes more money annually
out of the bones and muscles of his
hired men and their starving families
than any slave master in the south ever
made in his whole lifetime. The state
ment shows that the great millionalres
are in some way greatly benefited by
the suppression of silver. 1t is safe,
therefore, for common working people
to act contrary to the advice. In the
matter Of gold deposits Mr.. Carnegie ad-
vlses notification Of the laws Of the
country, as South Carolina did in 1888.
South Carolina nullified the tariff laws.
This gold bug traitor would nullify the
law Of legal tender. The advice would
work this way: Carnegie would pay his
men in subsidiary silver. He makes no
fight on that because it Is money only IN
sums Of $5 or less. It is lightweight.
Carnegie makes no fight on lightweight
silver. He would pay his men In light
weight silver in small sums. This they
must, by his advice, change 10 gold and
bear the discount. For, says, Carnegie,
silver coin Is only worth the price Of the
bullion. Say, for light coin, 80 per cent.
discount. Then when payday comes at
Carnegie's "pluck-me store" the poor
man will find that his gold on deposit
will pay no more debt, dollar for dollar,
than 80 much paDer, nickel or silver.
When Wall street journals and profes-
sional labor skinners talk Of abolishing
all monetary rights in this country, ex-
cept as to the holders Of gold coin, and
claim that they desire to do so for the
benefit Of the "poOr," it is well for the
poor to act contrary to the advice. They
may be sure there is an African In the
wOodpile somewhere.
To show that silver money Is good, and
that gold men frequently prefer it to
gold coin, / call attention to two docu-
ments which have on my table. On
page "a of the report of the treasurer of
the United States, 1885, 1t will be seen
that gold coin has been deposited in the
treasury, In four years and three months,
to the amount of $SO,73O,5OO, and silver
certificates taken out. This proves that
the gold men would rather have the pa
per money, payable in silver dollars only,
than to keep and handle their much
lauded gold. The gold men themselves
preferred silver certificates to gold coin
at the rate Of about $2O,OO0OOO per an
mum.
The other document refer to Is cir
cular issued by the New York clearing
house, July 20, 1885. 1t is here stated
that at a meeting of the Associated
Banks" of New York City a resolution
was passed that the banks would buy
from the government S1O,OOO,OOO Of sub
sidiary silver coin at par, and pay for 1t
in gold coin; and if the government was
willing, or needed the gold, the banks
would take $90OOO,OOO of light, subsi-
diary silver coin on the same terms; that
Is, at par for the silver coin, payment to
be made in gold coin. OF course those
banks claimed TO do this In order to ac-
commodate the government, lest It (the
government should fall short Of gold.
If there was danger in that line why did
not the banks take the heaviest silver
coin or silver hullion at bullion rataa 2

long been the custom for the road to go
into the hands of receiver until its
troubles are untangled. Then the gov
ernment hands it back to the incOmpe-
tent company.
1t may be, as alleged, that it Is "se-
riOus thing for the government to own
and manage the roads," But my reply
is like that of the girl whose mother told
her that It was serious thing to get
married. The girl replied, 81 know,
mother, it is q serious matter to get mar
ried, but 1t is a great d al more serious
not to-" AS the matter now stands the
roads are bankrupting the nation. When
they issued aud sold that five billions OF
wRtered stocks, the money received
made millionsires by the thousands, and
the income from that water Is making
millionaires by the hundred each year.
Still one more point must not be lost
sight Of. When we are making million
aires by the hundreds and thousands, the
same agencies are making bankrupts and
paupers among the people by the thou
sands and millions. Instead, then, of
the acquisition of the roads bankrupting
the government, we will be bsnkrupted
il we don't acquire them. Any political
party which does not go to the bottom Of
this important subject will not be able
to meet the wishes and necessities of the
people in the emergencies of the present
time. No halfway measures will meet
the urgency of the case nor satisfy the
wants and wishes Of the people.
The address favors "the return to that
fiscal policy Of the government" which
was practiced till 1878, and then aban-
doned by the Republican party ito sat
isfy its masters in Wall street" The
statement was doubtless meant as con-
demnation of the demOnetization of sill
YER in 1873. But q wholesome fear of
Mr.. Cleveland and his unrelenting war
on silver prevented a fuller statement or
avOwal of the matter. The fact is, both
the old parties are split wide open on
this silver question. In the east it is all
"anti, in the west 1t Is all "pro," In both
parties, and there is no medicine, plaster
or taffy that will heal the breach. The
tariff controversy is nothing in compari-
SON to this silver question. Democrats
and Republicans fight hard in the vari-
GUS sections ON the tariff, but the sec
tional demarkations are naught in COM
parison with the sectionalism, or class
ism, of Wall street against the people on
this silver question. Mr.. Andrew Car
negie, high tariff man, puts the matter
as follows:
Shall we discard the gold basis, or even
endanger it? This is question before the
people of the United States to-day. The
New York Evening Post is free trade or
gan, but it has recently said that it would
rather be a party to the passage of ten Nc
Kinley bills than one silver bill such as was
proposed. And l, a Republican, and be-
lever in the wisdom of protection, tell you
that would rather give up the Mckinley
bill and pass Mills bill if for the exchange
could have the present silver bill repealed
and silver treated like other metals. In
the next presidential campaign if l have to
vote for a man in favor of silver and pro-
lection, or for a man in favor of the gold

have voted for the government to pur

vored that other policy near akin to pur
chasing, which stores whisky for th'
producer, free, until the owners choose
to sell, allowing them the use of govern
ment money In the meantime, free o
charge.
True to the statement of Mr.. Carnegie
that the main difference between the tive
old parties is to accuse each other Of cor
ruptiOn, large part of the address is th'
arraignment Of the Harrison admlnistra
tion. All those charges Of corruption
are doubtless true. When it comes (,

of 1t. But there Is no earnestness il

The men were wild with excitement however

firm and gave no sign of weakening. Excava-

Most of those taken from the ruins were badly

were under the south side of the wall and here
the heaviest part of the wall fell. Only two
were taken out from the north side.

WYOMING RUSTLERS
Ranger" Jones Shot and Killed
from Ambush.
Honest Stockmen Have Determined to Protect
themselves Against Cattle Thieves-The
Rustlers Have Formed an Association.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Dec. 4.-[Special tele-
gram to TIE HERALD. News was brought
from the north last night that John Tisdale a
small ranchman, notorious as a cattle thief
had been shot from ambush. A telegram re-
celved this evening confirms the story and adds
another just like it. Ranger" Jones, a
rustler of the Tisdale type, is the second known
victim of the vendetta. Like Tisdale, he was
driving out of Buffalo with supplies He was
IN an abandoned highway two miles south of
the road to the rancho, while Tisdale was on
the public road and but mile from the sta
ton. Tisdale was shot once from behind
Jones had two bullet holes in his breast Both
men were killed Tuesday but the body of Jones
was not found till this afternoon. The coroner S
jury had just returned an unmeaning verdict on
Tisdale, when the half frozen CORPSE of the
other was brought in. The officers were search
ing for Jones, as he and Tisdale had quarreled
over division of spoils. Tisdale felt the danger
hanging over him SO he bought shotgun and
heavily loaded shells at Buffalo The gun
never used, was beside his body.
The war between thieves and honest stock
men Is on and there is no telling where IL will
end The rustlers have been carrying things
with high hand. They have been shipping
cattle positively known to have been stolen or
nave procured semirespectable friends TO do
the marketing. Some of there beeyes were
seized by the state live stock commission at
eastern ySros as eSlrays. ThlS was after prose-
cution had utterly failed, as the thieves packed
the juries. The recovery of stolen cattle made
them desperate and they began shooting down
stock on the range and threatening to murder
prominent citizens. There was no abatement
to the stealing. Big punches were driven hun
dreds OF miles, rebrande1 and sold. Rustling
was too profitable to be abandoned, but it was
simply running the men engaged in the industry
honestly. Revelations that will paralyZe the
state are expected and further killing win not
be surprising. The johnson county authorities
who, however, are partial to the thieves, saw
arrests will be made from the ranks OF leading
citizens us was the case when Cattle Kate and

Russell Carter Killed by Gazing Sand Bank.

BEAVER CITY, Dec. 4-fSpecial telegram to
THE HERALD. About p. N. yesterday young
Russell Carter, the 1S-year-old son of j. p Car
ter OF Greenville, in this county, was engaged
along with another young man named Byron
Carrigan in getting load of building sand in
the foothills south of Greenville 1t seemed
that the deposit of sand where. the Young man
was getting his load was overlaid BY heavy
strata of nlluvial soil and it became necessary
for young Carter in getting the sand to lie down
on his side and undermine It. While Ia the act
of doing so the superintendent mass of earth
and rocks caved down upon him and crushed
him into insensensibility, one huge chunk as
large as the body OF a horse lodging on and
hattentng out his skull. Young Carrigan with
almost superhuman strength, managed to roll
the mass of earth of the head OF his companion
and finding him to all appearances dead rushed
OIL for help. In short time a numb or of able
bodied men arrived and after some effort ex-
tracted the BODY OF the unfortunate young man
and removed II TO the home of his parents Dr.
Christian, who had in the meantime been sum-
moned from Beaver, then arrived, but found
that the young man. although not dead was
past all human aid. The unfortunate youth
fingered until this morning in state of total
1nsensibtltty, when he quietly passed away,
The young man Carrigan who so manfully ex-
erted himself TO rescue his unfortun ate com
panion, injured himself severely by the great
effort and now lies in very precarious condi-
ton from the effects of it. The deceased was n
nephew of the Hon. Francis NJ. Lyman, of
TOoele.
