Make the Test Of Prices.
Sioux City Journal,


By the way, does anybody fad any
evidencein merchants advertisements or
at their counters that prices have al
vanced Now is good time to test the
matter The new tariff law is beginning
to show its effects. The Journal refers to
the Mckinley law-tho "robber tariff"
"the Infamous Mckinley tariff law" and
the law about which The Democratic
organs were filling mp their columns for
months with pretended predictions. IL IS
The law that they declared would bring
about the robbery ana oppression OF the
people. All reading people OIL. ht now TO
recall some Of the things that the Dane
cratic organs were say ing few months
ago when political campaign was pend
ing Bat it will suffice here TO say, in
brief, that the representation then made
Was the certainty Of n vast rise OF prices
to follow the rev tariff as It's direct effect.
For months columns we're daily filled
with lists Of articles which every body has
to buy, and giving pretended figures IN
each case showing enormous increases Of
price. Especially was it asserted that the
increases of prices would be great in the
cases of all the articles which are Of COM
mon consumption, and which the poor
must have. No pains were spared to
create the impression that there was a
deliberate plot on the part oft RepublI.
can party to rob" the poor-to "rob" the
laborng man and the farmer. And so
the Democratic organs made compilations
of all the articles which those classes
must buy, all their food and clothing sup
plies, all their TOOLS all their machinery,
all their necessary supplies Of all kinds,
and then proceeded to allege prodgions
increases in the cost of these things to
the consumer. They constructed long
lists of pretended per centages of increase,
ranging from % up to hundreds, and
said "rhere is the way the Republican
party Will be robbing You with its tarlit
as soon as the same goes into ttfect"-
Well, the "fobber tariff is now in effect.
Ii has been IN effect for months, except as
to few Rates which need not be taken
into the account. The "intamy" of tue
Mckinley law is to-day in actual process
of exhibition. It's enCrmitles are being
perpetrated upon the people. Accord
ingly now is good time for suffering
pablo to investigate and measure mp the
crime that has been committed against It,.
The Journal calls attention to the matter
because there is danger that the general
public might otherwise forget all about
the robbery" But let the matter be
tested. Make the test practical. Go into
the hardware stores, the dry goods stores,
the groceries, aud all the shops, and ask
the prices. Compare them with the prices
before the NV law went into effect
Compare them with the prices of year
ago. Make any possible comparison ana

"iniamy" OF ary Indication OF "ro5bcry."

While SlSylarlIng He Narrowly Es-
capes Beina Drowned.
A young man cd William Hearth,
son of w. j. Hearth WHO keeps saloon
on Sixth Street, came very near losing his
life yesterday ct the swimming bath, and
all through his own tomfoolery.
He, like some others, seems to think it
great sport to push bathers off the plat
form into the water, aud it was while he
was trying TO push another lad in that he
lost his balance and fell in himself The
water WIS nine feet deep where he went
down, and as he could not swim he was
in trouble Immediately.
The superintendent was in the gallery
at the time, and thought from Kearth's
actions that he wasin distress. He there
fore cal ed to j. Fl. 3. rry, the swimming
teacher, and told him. to look ont for the
youth.
Hearth had risen couple of times, but
had already gone down for the last time,
the other bathers not knowing that there
was anything the matter with him. Mr..
Barry at once dived into the tank, with
out waiting to remove any of his cloth
ing, and soon found X earth and brought
him to the surface.
The latter was nearly gone, but prompt
measures soon brought him to, and ten
minutes later he was able to walk away.
Mr. Barry carries discolored eye as the
result of his dive, but he doesn't mind
that nor the injury to his clothing, being
thankful that he was able to save the
young mans life. Had he delayed mo
ment to even partially disrobe, he would
probably have been too late to save
Hearth from drowning. tie was warmly
congratulated by those who witnessed or
heard of the occurrence for his prompt
ness and pluck.

At the meeting of the Typographical
Union yesterday five applications were
received for membership, and two new
members admitted.
NJ. G. Foster and J. D. Woodbridge were
appointed as delegates to the Council OF
Federated Trades.
The reports showed the business and
affairs of the union to be in very salts
factory condition.
1t was announced that a strong effort is
being made to organize Typographical
Union in Marysville.
The union voted donation of $40 to
assist Brooklyn Typographical Union,
and $50 more was donated TO the Frank
lin miners
On Thursday evening the various labor
unions will take possession of Jacobs
Hall, on street, where meetings will in
future be held.
The members of the labor organizations
IN the city are deeply concerned about
the health of John Hantzman, President
of the Council of Federated Trades, who
has been dangerously i'll for several days
with typhoid-pneumonia. Mr.. HantZ-
mans illness is thought to be the result
OF over-eXertion in connection with the
recent Labor Day demonstration. in
which he took a deep interest, and for
the success of which he was largely re-
sponsible.
A RECORD-UNIoN reporter called at
Mr.. HantZman's residence last night and
was informed that his condition was quite
critical.

A CELEBRATED HOG CASE.
Two Swine that Have been in Cour
for Over Two Yeal.S


for Over Two Years.
The case of Neves VS.. Decardo is on
trial in the Superior Court Of Yolo. The
Mat says the case is an interesting one,
from the fact that the dispute arose over
the ownership of two hogs, and has been
in litigation over two years. It appears
that Neves had leased piece of land on
the river. He subsequently sub-leased
the land to couple of Portuguese. An
other Portuguese, who had been working
for the leSsees, fell out with them and
sued them for his wages, getting judg-
ment. The Portuguese had no money, but
went to Decardo and borrowed the
amount, giving a bill OF sale Of lot of
hay and a number Of hogs as security for
the money. Decardo let the hogs remain
on the premises as he had no place to take
them to.
Some time afterward Neves steps in and
claims that he had purchased two of the
hogs prior to the transaction with De-
cardo. The latter goes to work and drives
off all the hogs, including the disputed
two, and still has them in his possession
NeVes sued for the recovery of the hogs
in the Justices Court and was beaten
He then appealed to the Superior Court.
This was over two years ago, and has
probably cost both parties enough TO buy
a good-siZed drove OF swine. The case is
still on trial, but will go to the jury to-day
Saturday. Whoever wins, they will be
the dearest hogs in Yolo County.
