An address issued July 23d, by the Peoples party, commences as follows: ''The times that try mems souls are here once more. The de- scendants of the British Tories of l776, and other European and Ameri can capitalists, have bound our country with chains more galling and more dangerous than the po- litical bonds that oppressed the colonies, because they are more sub tie and more eorrupting in their in- fuences. The declaration of inde- pendence from the arrogance of British politicians must be supple mented by declaration of inde- pendence from the frightful power of concentrated wealth. The politi- cal independence which the fathers of the country secured through seven years of bloody war is but a shallow sham unless our country can secure industrial independence. The subtle power of money to op- press is greater than the ephemeral power of the willy politician. The tyrants of modern civilization do not bind their subjects with bonds of blood and iron, as did the con querors of the past; their weapon is corruption, forged by duplicity and riveted by ignorance. The war riors of old, who sallied forth to prey upon their fellow men, to sub jugate and exact tribute from them did it like men and heroes, knowing that in case of failure their lives would pay the forfeit. To be rob Der knight of modern civilization, requires neither courage nor hero ism. Under our present system the most consciousless schooner, the most interruptions corruptionist yields the greatest power and levies the most enormous tribute"

No publisher or editor pretends that he risks his capital, gives time, labor, thought and care to the mak ing of newspaper for charity's sake. He publishes his journal as the book publisher publishes his book-for profit as a means of living or making a fortune. Publishing a newspaper is strictly business, though there is no other business on the face of the earth of which philanthropy and patriotism are so large a part. The newspaper is the helper of the church and the school. of religion. of science, literature, art, industry, agriculture-of everything which concerns the good of society and the state. 1t is the very prop and stay of charity and public spirit; the most potent enemy of public wrong or in- justice; and il must be so necessarily, as it is but public sentiment re flected in type. The newspaper de bends for its success upon popular favor, and the aim of everyone con nected with 1t is that of winning popular favor by running on parallel lines with public morality. The newspaper press is generally as high in morals and intelligence as the public conscience and mind. It creates the public sentiment that destroys public wrongs and often re- cures justice by proclaiming in- justice.-Ex.

They both went to bed again, and nothing more was no-, ticed of the man uutil the morning. when he was found dead in his bed

r,s.rl.rss AND rnk NEW TARIFF

No feature of the existing tarin law seems to lacerate the feelings of free-trade attorneys equally with that clause looking to transfer of some portion of the in-pls,e manufacture to the United States. Desperate as was their resistance while the blli was under discussion in congress sntagonism seems to intensity with every additional assurance that the real intent of the framers of the bill is likely to be realized in the near futurA
 Reform" organs and orators rc- fuse to believe. ar persist in denying. that tin exists anywhere in this country in paying quantities, in face of the fact that American pig tin has already found its way into the market. But even if IL was true that native tn may not safely he de pended on for supplying the wants of domestic manufacturers, such fact cannot be consistently employed as argument in behalf of lrsyiag to foreigners the exclusive manufacture of tin plates, of which 75.0ols0 pounds are consumed monthly. and for which British monopolisis dur ing the past year poeketed more than Ss0O00 of American money ior each working day These men do not rely upon their own neighlsor- hood for their supply of raw material, but draw upon the tin nines of Mslacca and Tasmania for two thirds of their consumption. The Mckinley tariff imposes no duty on pig tin, and the same sources of sup ply are open to our manufacturers ss to British tin plate monopolis,s.
 Confronted with these facts, the foee-trade attorney seizes upon his favorite weapon of higher prices the same with which he has always stood ready to sand-bsg every legis- latiye measure looking to building up at home of industries in which foreigners have been securing the lions share of profits. The new law adds one dollar and a quarter per hundred pounds to the former duty on tin plates. Assuming that this is added to the foreign cost, 1t will in nowise affect the retail price of articles for which it is used, unless interruptions dealers make i, pre- text for imposing upon customers.
 All experience goes to prove that as soon as domestic competition looms up prices go down. Through. out the entire list of tariff protected industries there cannot be found one exception to this rule, and 1t Is the baldest rccklessness to predict dif- ferent outcome in the case of tin plates. In fact, it is lively realiza- tion that this will be an early result of the increased tariff on tin-pla,es that occasions the commotion among foreign monopolists and their con federates in this country. Prices of all other products of iron and steel and these constitute ninety-fye per cent-oftin- plates-haye been reduced by half wherever competition has been given opportunity for footing; but the tin-plate barons of Great Britain have pocketed increased pro- fits by forcing patrons to pay old time prices without regard to the cost of production. No wonder they squirm when served with notice that the end of their monopoly is near at hand.

The present long spell of dry weather has become very serious matter for stockmen in some DOT tions of Apache county. Parties who have recently arrived from there state that large number of cattle have died for want of water. Between Holbrook and Navajo windmills have been erected for the purpose of watering stock, but there was alack of wind last week, so that this source of supply was also cut of. Unless relief comes through rain very soon, it is feared that the loss of stock will be unprecedented ly large.

Alone in the World.

The man who has no family ties, no
sympathizing companions, no genial re-
lations with bis fellow men is very prop
erly said to be ''alone in the world"
But such utter isolation can only be the
result of volition. Even the unfortu-
nate who has outlived all who were
nearest and dearest to him, and can say
with "'the lone Indian Logan, "Not a
drop Of my blood runs in the veins OF
any living creature may find friends
who will, in part, at least, supply the
places of tho dead.
We boar sometimes of people, who
have been soured by misfortune or in
justice, retiring from the world The
more fools they. The world can do with
out them, but they cannot so well do
without the world. The more they
mono in solitude the more unhappy they
must necessarily become, for man is con-
stitutionally gregarious and social. and
cannot live n hermit life without violat-
ing the conditions upon which his men,
tai health depends. The most terrible
punishment which the law can infict
upon criminal is tho living death Of
perpetual solitary confinement. What
downright idiocy, then, it must be to
seek in loneliness balm for sorrow

HEARTACHE.
NO. O.

Bright sunbeams die,
Long shadows lie
Between the earth and dark'ning sky;
Heart drear below,
Feet weary grow,
And life's eros heavy seems to lie.
AS daylight fades,
And nights gloom shades
Earth, sky and life's steep rugged road
Must alone,
With bright hope flown,
Bear deaths great burden, sorrows load
Soul chords vibrate,
Heart strings await
The touch of loves dear tender hand;
Lifes song pain mars;
Tones discord jars,
viii they e'er blend in symphony grand
HEARTS EASE.
In cloudless skies
The sunlight lies,
Soft wooing earth with CLINT OF gold;
Aiopo ohihihe5 SiSui
Draws heaven near, .....
And in warm love the heart they fold.
Quaint music breathe,
The dancing leaves,
When stirred by winds that seem to blow
Cross day-dream's tide,
Lo! nearer glide
The ships on winsome lancies know,
Heart, heaven and earth
Throb with the birth
OF sweeter harmony in hfe;
Soul pulses beat,
Vibrating sweet,
The heart chords now sing gay and bithe.
What key note rolls
From singing souls,
New earth and beauteous skies aboveg
On listening ear
Falls hearts case dear
sMan's sympathy, with Gods great love-"
