CHASING TRAIN ROBBERS.

/ Cnlo1 Yates mas a San francisco
Examiner of Sept. Doth, containing an
account of the progress of the chase
after Contants and Chris Evans. AT
ter detailing the work of the detec.
tives, it goes on to say:
Evans and Sontag have plenty OF
friends in that section of the noun
tains. AS matter of fact, offenders
against the Southern Pacific railroad
or the express company are hardly re-
garded as enemies by these simple
mountaineers. OF course, shooting
the men who are after them is more
serious, but then, these men were en-
ployed by the railroad company and
that mitigated the action. There
are a great many old ranchers in these
mountains who know what it is to
have a posse looking for them, and
they can sympathize with and make
allowances for the temptation to turn
loose with shotgun when the chase
becomes too hot.
They have the respect due legiti-
mate enemy for the regular officers,
but not for the others.
What are our boys, what we raised
right here in these hills, a goin' in
huntin' Chris for?" asked one grizzled
ranchman in discussing this phase of
the question with the E1aniner man.
He felt injured. and he considered
the young men as disloyal to their
home.
you go home," said another farm
er to Jim Wegge, one of the most &C
tive of Detective Thatcher's men, 'you
60 right back and tend your store;
Chris amt here, and if you 60 up af-
ter him he'll kill you. He said he
never thought you'd hunt him -
Wigge did not go back.
The Robin Hood idea prevails to
some extent in regard to the two men.
They only rob rich corporations and
religiously pay for what they take
from poor farmers.
They are hunting at random now
for the two desperate men, and quite
possibly they stand better chance
of finding them that way than any
other.
A Visalia dispatch in the same pa
per, says: Sheriff Kay is in receipt
of the following letter from the IA
ther of the Sontag brothers: "Man-
kato, Sept. %, '92-E. w. Kay, Visal-
ia, Cal.-Dear sir: AS it has been
in all the papers that you have taken
an active part in this train robbery
case of Sontag and Evans, 1 would adj
wise you to GO little slow, as 1 will
be up there myself and help you.
Yours, M. J. SoNTAG.
The dispatch further says that
Sands Baker, of Dunlap, who was
in town today, says that Evans and
Sontag are wounded, but not seriously.
He says that the day after the fight
at Youhg's house the bandits stopped
at cattleman's ranch near James
YOung'S house.

Abner Stone had lived finland" all his
days, and knew all there was to be
known about pork and beef as articles
products Of the sea, on the other hand,
was very slight-in fact it was confined
to one lobster, which his younger BROTH
er, Wilson, had brought up to the farm
from Bayport one summer when he
came up for short visit.
Abner had enjoyed that lobster amaz-
ingly, and it was in some measure his
praise of this fish that led Wilson to
press his brother TO make him a call"
the next autumn or spring and ''eat his
fill" Of fish. There's heaps o things
bettern lobsters," Wilson averred.
There's shad. now; l reckon you'd find
shad would relish pooty fair"
'sYes, indeed, he'd orter eat some Of
our shad,' chimed in Mrs. Wilson Stone;
and the next spring. with thoughts Of
shad in his mind, Abner went down to
Bayport.
He had tiresome journey, for he was
not used to travelling, and when he
reached Rapport at night he was more
than ready for bed.
You're goin t have some shad in the
mornin." remarked Mrs. Wilson Stone
a. she babe him good night.
The promise was kept. but somehow
Abner did not seem to enjoy the deli
cacy as his brother had expected. In
fact. he ate SO little Of it that Wilson

Trusts are not due to protection.
This is shown by the fact that the
great Mecca of combinations of all kinds
is free trade Great Britain.
They are the product of human
weakness common To all men, in every
country and under every political sys-
tem-cupidity.
Combination is the recognized COM
mercial tendency of the day. 1t is
natural for men to combine where they
see an opportunity for their own profit,
and they will do this whether there be a
tariff or not, as all impartial judges.
even free traders, viii admit.
Protection is no friend of trusts; in
fact, it is essentially opposed to them.
1t prevents the formation of interna-
tional combinations, for which there
could be no destructive remedy, and
guarantees men who wish to compete
with trust fair field and chance for
competition. BY protection also trusts
are placed within the reach of our own
laws; placed where they can be attacked
and destroyed by the strong arm of the
government.
Free trade, on the other hand, either
leads TO the establishment of interna-
tional combinations, or by destroying
an industry in this country and causing
us to become dependent for the product
of that industry on q few foreigners
puts us at the mercy of a foreign trust
from which there can be no escape, and
which of course no legislation of ours
can reach.
This is entirely in harmony with the
ordinary free trade programme-to sub.
ject Us in everything to the domination
of the foreigner.
The only effective remedy for combi
nations is a radical antitrust law, such
as that already passed by protectionist
congress.
The question Of trusts can be formu
lated in a few words: Free trade and
foreign trusts absolutely our masters
Protection, every difficulty in the way Of
forming trusts, new competition to null
lily their influence and prohibitory legis
lation to destroy them when formed
