best and easiest methods of realizing
the needed revenue is b. taxation upon
foIeign imports. 1t is also admitted
that few internal taxes should be per-
mitted to exist, but that the main and
principal revenues should be derived
from the imposition of tariff duties.
Upon this point there is no substantial
division Of sentiment.
1t is true that there are some eXtre me
men now ostensibly acting with the
Democratic party, but who do not con-
troll its policy or councils, who are op-
posed TO all tariff taxation and favor
direct taxation as the best means of
meeting our national expenses in sub
stantiaIly the same manner that our
state taxes are raised. There can be no
reasonable doubt that tariff taxation
will continue to be the permanent policy
OF the government, notwithstanding the
opinions of those sincere but impracIlca-
bic theorists who advice Its abandon
ment
The dispute between the two parties
arises over the extent. effect and objects
Of our taxation. Shall tariff taxation be
imposed for revenue only, or shall it be
made for the purpose of fostering pri-
vate Industries? This is stating the
question as fairly as l am able TO do so.
The proposition involves the power Of
the government, the true purposes Of
taxation, the Dropriety OF the exercise
Of the two methods proposed. and the
results produced. bearing upon the tax
payer and the country. The power of
tue government TO raise revenue by
a tariff upon imports is undisputed, but
its constitutional power to impose a
tariff for any other ostensible purpose
is the question.

TACOMA, Wash, Sept. pa repor {
reached here from Roslyn that Ben L.
Snipe & Co.'S bank was robbed this
afternoon at o'clock by six men, who
Fred Fraser, the teller. was shot in The
leg and seriously hurt while resisting
them. A negro was also shot and wound
ed. The sun secured is reported at $40, COO
TO $4,000. There was alarge sum of
money in the bank because Monday
was pay day at the Northern Pacific
coal mines, the company employing 500
men. Snipe, president of the bank,
who is here tonight. placed the case in
the hands of Detective NJ. c. Sullivan.
A later account says the robbers entered
with drawn reyolvers, commanding
Cashier Abernethy to held up his hands.
While one of the robbers covered the
cashier and bookkeeper and the second
two customers who were in the Lank al
the time; the third went behind the
counter and emptisd the contents of the
safe into sack. The robbers then
withdrew, commanding those in the
Jain w hCOP oAlCAbs lACll
horses and fed. AS they rode away all
three opened fire IN all indiscriminate
manner, the Dookkeeper and cashier
being shot in the leg. and a colored man
named Connolly, who was standing in
the door Of the bank, was shot in the
hip. Neither of the men will die.
While the robbers were in the bank
Cashier Abernethy attempted to get his
revolver, but was knocked down by
one of the robbers with the butt end of
revolver. There is posse of twenty
five or thirty men in pursuit of the
gang. but it is feared that they will not
be able to overtake them tonight. 1t is
believed the robbers crossed the summit
of the Cascade mountains between the
village and the mines. One of the rob-
bers was recognized as a half-breed
Indian, who has been hanging around
town for several days. The others are
unknown.

IN IMMINENT PERIL.
The Crew of the Wetmore May
Lose Their Lives

The Crew of the Wetmore May
Lose Their Lives.
MARsHFIELD, Or, Sept. 24.-All at
tempts to rescue Capt. O'Brien and his
watchman, who went aboard the
wrecked whaleback steamer Charles W.
Wetmore a week ago, have so far
proved fruitless. The captain and his
watchman went on board the wrecked
vessel in calm weather in order to pre-
vent any one boarding her and claiming
salvage. Heavy weather has prevailed
during the past week, and tugs have
been unable to reach the vessel. The
life saving crew made several attempts
to take the men off, but their apparatus
proved inadequate.
Today when the life saving crew at
tempted to go to the wreck, the lifeboat
was capsized and the crew thrown into
the water. Capt. Pope, of Portland,
who was in the boat, received al ugly
flesh wound by striking his head against
the gunwale of the boat. He did not
recover consciousness for several hours.
A volunteer crew of fishermen has
been formed at Empire City to take
Capt. O'Brien and the sailor OFF, but
Capt. Loeb, of the lifesaying service,
will not allow them the use of life
boat. His action is strongly criticised
by citizens. The surf is still running
high. The Wetmore has not changed
her position, but is still settling IN the
sand. Her masts are still standing IN
the same position as when she struck.

The injured man appealed to the code

his challenge was promptly accepted by
his antagonist. Pistols were agreed
upon as the weapons and thirty PAGES

Seconds were chosen and ten of the
participants most intimate friends in

all went off in accordance with the code.
The duel took place at o'clock sharp
Thursday morning in the outskirts of
the village. Both men were crack
shots. and each was resolved to kill the
other. Neither was to stop firing until
he had downed the other, unless wounds
prevented. Fourteen shots in all were
fired, Caro- going to his knees on the
fifth shot, but he continued the battle,
putting three bullets into Garcia's
breast. No arrests have been made.

An Advocate OF the Election Of

am here tonight to advocate pro-

Cleveland and Adlai E. Stevenson. No
apology or explanation is needed for

EVILS OF PROTECTION.
1t Encourages Overproduction,
Ending in Financial Disaster.

Ending in Financial Disaster.
am willing to concede that the first
effect of high tariff upon new indus
try is usually TO increase prices and
stimulate business, but this effect is
followed by undue competition, occa-
the favoriteism shown; then overpro-
duction results, then a stagnation
of business ensueS, and in the
end there comes reduction of
wages, fall in prices and
bankruptcy to many industries.
This is a faithful picture of the evils of
protection. drawn IN the business his
tory of this country for seventy years.
1t is the natural result of governmental
interference with private affairs, of the
biunderS incident TO a paternal govern
ment and of the folly of attempting to
control the natural laws of supply and
demand.
Stimulants to business through tariff
favoritiSm are as unsatisfactory as the
continued and inordinate indulgence
OF all intoxicating liquors by men.
The first effects are pleasant
enough. but the inevitable general
result is disastrous failure and utter
ruin. a gentleman once said that he
liked to get drunk we'll enough, but the
trouble arose in getting sober. Usually
the more stimplants a man is aceus-
toned TO the more he needs, and SO in
business. An industry which has grown
up under the fostering care of a pa
ternal government never seems to be
strong enough to permit its withdrawal
without disastrous and humilating
collapse.
Why should the government. by the
use or abuse of the taxing power Of the
government. attempt to build up indus
tries where the private enterprise and
private capital are not willing to accept
The risks? Why should the whole peo-
pie be unnecessarily taxed for half their
lives and compelled to pay eXtrayagant
prices for certain manufactured articles
in order to get them somewhat cheaper
during the other half of their lives?
Why should the government. at the ex-
pense of all the people, offer such in
ducementS to a few TO embark upon a
particular business where men of genius
and enterprise have of their own accord
refused to enter?
manufacturers require the protection
which the Republican party seems SO
anxious to foist upon them, and espe-
cially if they were provided with few
raw materials. as the Democratic party
proposes TO do. We are already under
selling foreign manufacturers in many
markets of the world, and cab compete
with them abroad. especially in their
own markets. There would seem to be
no real necessity of taxing our people
longer in order to enable Our own man
ufacturers to compete with foreign ones
at our very doors. Neither is the pre-
tense any longer available that protec-
ton is absolutely necessary because Of

RACE WAR STILL ON.

war is still on in Calhoun county. Yes
terday afternoon q well-reputed negro,
while gathering corn in the company
of two white men, was assassinated
near the place of last weeks
trouble. 1t is supposed the crime was
committed by two white men, recently
on trial for hog stealing, against whom
the victim was the principal witness.
Excitement runs high, and the negroes
are making many threats against their
white neighbors. Several negroes
have been arrested the past
few days for completely in
last weeks riots, and these arrests also
have tendency to inf]ame the darkies.
Last night 800 young white men guard
ed the Jail at Malvern all night, it hav-
ing been reported the negroes would at
tempt to release the prisoners. No such
attempt was made, however. Officers
are doing their utmost to prevent further
trouble, but it is feared the worst is to
come.

FOR REVENUE ONLY.
Tariff for Protection a Violation
ofthe Constitution.


''In my address in Brooklyn the other
evening l presented the arguments
upon which the Democratic party in
sists in its platform that tariff imposed
for any other than public purpose is
in violation Of the constitution, and l
do not care TO repeat them here. ] do
not regard the question as a practical
one by reason OF the difficulty of having
1t properly raised. The conclusive
and sufficient objection 10 a pro-
tective tariff is that it Is an
abuse of the taxing power Of the gov
eminent. II compelS the whole people
TO pay tribute TO a few. 1t is a system
based upon Injustice and unfair dis
crimlnarions and tends TO build up
monopolieS. The Democratic position
is so plain and reasonable that he who
reads may understand it. 1t believes
that the true and constitutional pur-
pose of any tariff is the raising of-nec-
eSSary revenue for the support of the
government-and that is all.
Let the tariff be high or low. as the
needs OF the government may require;
let it not be SO high or low as to create
a surplus in the treasury. The place
for surplus taxes is in the peoples
pocket, and not ia the federal treasury,
The Republican position is such that
the government should use its powers
of taxation to build up private indus
tries by placing the tariff rates so high
they viii absolutely prohibit foreign
importations or prevent any serious
competition with such industries.
The Republicans believe the question
of revenue should be minor consiuera-
ton in The forming of a tariff law and
the fostering OF private industries
should be the foremost one. They shut
their eyea TO the fact that they are him
dering the natural laws of trade. They
ignore the value Of foreign trade or as
sumo 10 believe that foreign countries
will trade with US, though we purchase
nothing from them. They forget that
reciprocity cannot be one-sided. They
appeal TO the selfshness of the people
and to their natural jealousies of aud
animosities against foreign countries.
The large arguments of the Repub-
licanS in support OF this system are in
consistent with each other; they in one
breath allege that a high protective
tariff keeps UP prices, and in another
breath it reduces them. "You pay your
money and take your choice.' Our op-
ponentS are as accommodating in their
arguments in this respect as was the
ignorant village schoolmaster who, when
examined by the local committee as to
his qualifications, was asked the Ques-
ton "WheJer the world was round or
fat?' replied that it made no difference
TO him; that he would teach that the
world was round Or fat, Just AS the COM
mittee preferred"

WANTS NO FAvoRs.
american People Can Hold Their
Own in All Walks of Life

1t is true that wages are higher here
than abroad, and the Democratic party,
which has always upheld the dignity of
labor and which is largely composed of
workinglnen, rejoiceS iii the fact and
tolerates no policy which would tend to
reduce them. But if American work
ingmen receive higher wages it is
also true that they perform bet
they are better educated. thev
take deeper and more intelligent
interest in their labor. they own their
own houses. they are entitled to the
elective franchise, and are in every way
better qualified to produce manufact-
ures which can bring better prices and
which are SO excellent that they can at
the same time successfully compete
with the rest of the world All that
America needs is free field and fair
fight in the race of life and she will
prove invincible in nearly every de-
partment.
From contracted view that seems to
keep our people from the commerce of
The world, the party that boaStingly
claims that the United States can raise
and manufacture everything we need,
and that the foreign markets ale not
wanted. and our people should be con-
feAt with home markets and home
prices. and that we can and should be
independent of all the rest Of the
world, nay crafty the selfish pride of
his hearers, but he only exhibits his
Ignorance of history and his lack of
comprehension OF the true source of
genuine prosperity.
We should not adopt any policy of
administration which excludes the idea
that there is more of this world than the
United States, and we should remember
that we do not mouopoliZe all the
wealth and industries of the world. This
should not be said by an unselfsh, in
dependent people who comprehends the
needs and capacities not only of our
selves, but of the people everywhere.
