STREET-CAR STRIKERS.
Two Policemen Assaulted by n Mob-A Police
Judges Arbitrary Action-EGorts
To Restore Peace.

INDIANAPOLIS. Feb. 29-The situation in
the street-car strike to-day is terribly critical
All day yesterday and until late last night
counselors and advisers have persistently
sought President Frenzel and the Street-Car
Brotherhood leaders and tried 10 gain from
each some little concession that might avert
further trouble.
At the strikers meeting last night Mayor
Sullivan explained that if the strikers de
feated the city they would then have the
county to fight and ultimately the State. and
they could not hope 10 win.
Many prominent citizens urged the men 70
cease from violence and exhaust every moral
means. ON the other hand. President
Erenzel has been importuncd 70 make slight
concession. and how well these gO-betweens
are succeeding IS evidenced by the fact that
this morning not an attempt had been made
10 move the cars.
EFFORTS TO RESTORE PEACE.
President Frenzel cannot be found. butt is
reported that he and several well-known
public men, with representatives, OF the
strikers. are now trying 10 patch up settle
ment.
Despite the rain. which is falling incessant-.
ly. the streets are filed with thousands or
men. many Of whom ceased work To witness
any outbreak that NAV occur. Public sentI-
ment Is against violence, and the pulpit ulan-
;mOusly denounced II.
This morning the cases of eighty-five OF tie
strikers arrested Saturday were arbitrarily =
continued indefinitely by Police-Judge Busk-
nix This magnate suggested IN open court
that the strikers recall thelr demand Tor Pres
iden: Frenzels removal and propose arb.tra-
ton and then return to bin. II the cars
run said lie. II will see that no police assist
them Being simply magistrate WITHOUT

Who Are the NIillionaires9

Did you ever hear of a farmer that got
to be millionaire merely by driving the
pillow? Did you ever see a workingmau
who became millionaire by the work oil
his hands? Who are the millionaires OF
America? If you leave out the successful
spectators of one sort or another you will
find that they are men who have profited
through some special privilege granted by
law, and great many of them are men
who have profited by the Republican pro.
tective tariff. which its authors now pre-
tend is designed for the sole benefit of
wage earners.
Turn to any list of millionaires, and then
place beside that list business directory
of the United States, the full schedule of
the Mckinley law and list Of the trusts
organized within the past few years. You
will be surprised at some of the coinci-
dences that will appear You will find
that many of the industries that have had
the largest and the highest protection ap-
pear in the list Of trusts. while the stock
holders of those industries appear in the
list of millonaires. You will find pro-
tected coal owning millionaires, protected
glassmaking millionaires. protected steel
making millionaires. protected hatmaking
millionaires, protected shipbuilding mil
lionaires and n dozen other classes of mil
liouaires in a dozen other highly protected
Industries. You will not find the name of
single working farmer You will not
find the name of a single wage Garner. IL
is the business of Republican protection to
create millionaires. and that. too, at the
expense of farmer aud wage Garner
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1892-08-16

Is any farmer fooled by the pretense that
the Mckinley tariff protects Garmcrs2 1t
pretended to do so by raising the dnty on
wheat, which was 90 per cent. to 25 per
cent; on corn, which was ten cents a
bushel, to fifteen cents bushel on oats,
which was ten cents a bushel, also to
fifteen cents n bushel The product of
wheat in the United States in 1901 was
45O.0O0.00O bushels. and the amount i'm
ported was S.2l6 bushels, while the amount
exported was more than 100, DOC, 900 bushels
Does any one suppose that we should have
sent out so much and brought in so little
If foreign wheat had been cheaper than our
OWN The tariff on wheat might be put
mp to 500 per cent. without any other effect
than to increase the cost of what little
wheat OF n kind not raised at home we i'm
port from abroad.
What is truo of wheat Is true of nearly
everything that the farmer raises The
truth is that the farmer cannot he pro
tected SO long as he does not wish to raise
dollhouse bananas and other such things
which he has no desire to attempt Mean
w uilo Republican protection increases the
cost OF fifty things which the farmer must
have

NASHVILLE, Aug. ia chain gang of
40 convicts were liberated from the In

stockade was torn down, and the miners
executed war dance about the wreck.
The sheriff of the county was notified

Court. Twenty watchmen on the way to

Commissioners for the United States to

really intended to apply only to Messrs.

NfcKInlev'a bad GooIn

That the Mckinley tariff Is giving rs
bad goods is becoming more aud more
generally recognized 10y business men. A
prominent trm of packers writes to The
National Provisiouer AS follows In regard
to tin plate:
The tariff is leried. as You know
against the weight Of the plate In conse.
quence of this the plates that are being
imported and used to make cans uF are
dangerously light. We buy from one of
the most reputable firms in Baltimore
yet we have much difficulty in getting
plate in our cans that will stand up at all
What the effect of all this will be to tho
shipping trnde. that rely upon canned
goods mainly on their long voyages. 49,
we'll as 90 the packers who send their
goods to foreign countries. it is difficult
now to determine. But certain it is the
quality of tin that is used this season in
canned goods must result in injury to the

BENJAMIN HARRISON,
Combating Crime.

For many years past lavish appropria-
lions and vast expenditures have been
made for the purpose of suppresslng
crime and eliminating pauperism, but
it seems that inadequate methods have
been pursued, as proof exists that crime
and pauperism are steadily increasing.
In regard to this Prof. e. S. Morse,
writing in Popular Science Monthly,
offers the following weighty sugges-
ton:
''In combating crime the line of effort
should be along those paths indicated
by nature. 1t is curious commentary
on mans intelligence that, while ex-
ercising the selective function on his
domestic stock by careful feeding,
proper housing, and judicious crossing,
and for his plants selecting the best
seed, etc, while ruthlessly destroying
the noxious weeds, yet when he
comes to his own kind he fancies
that different laws operate with him,
or, swayed by sentiment, looks for
different methods to cope with crime
He exterminates the noxious weed,
kills his vicious dog, puts under re-
straint the maniac until cured; no
definite terms of Punishment will do in
these cases, yet he formulates laws in
which there is apportioned a definite
number of days or years for definite
offenses against society!'

THE latest trust agreement reported is

THE latest trust agreement reported is
one among the manufacturers of jellies
and preserves-nott the good housewives
of the rural districts, but the firms and
corporations which put out hundreds of
tons of their product daily. The report
says that about $50 of those concerns, in
this country and in Canada, have en-
tered into a combination for the regula-
ton Of the prices and the output.
According to the story the trust agree
ment;is Eof the. usual character, all the
manufacturers signing, pledging them
selves to pool their respective business
interests in one concern, with head
quarters in New York. 1t is said that the
capital stock of the new corporation
will be $12,O00,00O, and shares of the
new stock will be allotted to existing
concerns entering the trust on the
amount of money they may have
already invested.

Hon ADLAI STEVENSON will take a
much more prominent part in the cam
paign than it has been customary for
the vice-presidential nominee to do.
Beginning on the first of September, he
will take the field and remain on the
stump until the end of the fight. He
will do his first work in Indiana, and
when the anniversary of the birth of
that sterling old democrat of democrats,
the late Thomas A. Hendricks, is cele-
brated at Indianapolis on September Z,
he will be one of the principal speakers,
as he will also be at the monster
gathering of democrats at French Lick
springs, just afterward. The last two
weeks of September he will be on the
stump in North Carolina, and all of
October, with the exception of several
single speeches in New York state, he
will devote to making "the grandest
effort of his life'' to put Illinois in the

SECRETARY CHARLES FOSTER is away
up in ''g' in Ohio politics, which means
that there are few tricks with which he
is not familiar. Mr. Harrison having
failed in all his efforts to ''placate'Boss
Tom Plat, called on Secretary Foster for
help, and he quickly evolved a scheme
to bring Boss Plat to time. He knew
that the most vulnerable point of the
New York boss is his pocket, and it
was through his pocket that Athe
secretary put his first shot by refusing to
pay the 500, 900 charged by the express
companies for transporting $4,000, 900
in gold from San Francisco to New York,
and, by transporting it as registered mail
matter, at the risk of the treasury de-
partment, and at cost of about So, 500.
A goodly percentage of the 100000
would have gone to Mr. PIatt's express
company which would have brought
that gold from the Missouri river to
New York, if Mr. Foster had not in
terfered. 1t is not a great while since
Mr. Platt's express company received S.
500 for carrying $1,000, 900 in gold from
Philadelphia to New York, but it will be
quite while before it is given a similar
job, unless Mr. Platt "comes off his
perch" Secretary Foster cannot break
the contract which Mr. Platt's company
has with the treasury department for
the transportation of cash, but he can,
and will, Vt it becomes necessary to bend
Mr. Platt, send all large amounts at
government risk which would make the
contract a comparatively worthless one.
1t is predicted that Mr. Plat will do as
Davy Crockett's coon did.

There are no soldiers at Oliver, and the

have more than doubled the number of
guards. A company of 1856 militiamen
equipped with Spencer rifles and gatling
gun are stationed at Coal Creek, and an
attack there would mean a desperate and
bloody battle.

What Fixes wapas9

Republican protection is justified by its
authors and promoters solely upon the as
sumed ground that it benefits the work
ingman. The platform adopted at Mime
ppolis demands the continuance of high
protection in order that capitalists may
pay to workingmen higher wages than are
paid in the foreign manufacturing con-
Germs with which native manufacturers
are called upon to compete. Here is sim
pie issue, and if it can be shown that the
effect of Republican protection is not to
improve the wages of American working
men, the fallacy of the Republican preteuse
is exposed.
