Does protection favor special inter
ests?" Is it merely scheme to tax
the masses for the benefit of the
favored few?" Is it really {. robbery
of the ''plain people" by the ''monopo-
list manufacturers" protected by our
tariff?
If if is, then indeed is the faith of the
protectionist very poor one, nor can
there be the least justification for such
system of extortion.
But ask the importer, alien as he is in
his business and too often alien, too, in
citizenship-asl1 him, as he laughs in
his sleeve and pockets the enormous
profits reaped by stimulating foreign
industries and giving employment to
foreign sworkingmen, whether protec-
tion or free trade favors special inter
ests."
Ask the capitalists and men with
fixed incomes, interested only in having
things cheap" no matter who suffers,
if free trade favors no special inter
ests."
Ask the free raw material manufac-
turcr, won over by selfish considera-
tons of individual advantage, whether
protection really only helps special
interests"
Ask these men, and then admire and
commend the righteous Indignation
with which they all oppose protection
for no other reason than because it IA
vors special interests"
Protection is too broad, too liberal,
too national a system to favor any
special interest" in the free trade
sense of the term 1t protects Ameri-
can labor anywhere and everywhere,
on farm and field, in forest and mine,
on ship and in factory.
But if to stimulate American indus
try, give motive to American enterprise,
and to American wealth and advocate
American doctrines and support for our
own citizens against world-if that
is favoring special interests, then, in
deed, does protection dc so.
And W. glory in it.

SHORT TARIFF SERMONS.
Democratic HandIcaps.

1--WE are handicapped by the general
prosperity of the country"
That was the despairing comment of
prominent democratic .chieftain upon
the report of the democratic labor COM
missioner of New York
1t reflects pretty accurately the sem
timents of the democratic managers
generally. Their stock in trade is ca
lamity. Prosperity is to them what
paris green is to a potato bug-they
shrivel, shrink and die by it's touch.
Handicapped by prosperity! Yes, in
deed. you are, democrats; and here is a
brief outline of the weights you must
carry:
1. The report of the bureau of statis-
tics, showing, instead of strangled com
merce, foreign trade for 1892 larger
than ever before in our history; an ex-
port trade for the same year amounting
for the first time to a billion dollars;
an import trade more than half of
which is absolutely free of duty, and a
lower average tariff rate than under
the old law.
.. The report of the senate commit
tee showing that the average price of
PA articles of general consumption has
declined under the new tariff O.64 of 1
per cent. by one method of comparison,
is per cent. by another, while in the
same time agricultural products have
advanced 1928 per cent, and general
wages have advanced O.75 of per cent.
8. The report of Labor Commissioner
Peek, mentioned above, showing that in
the Empips State there was an increase
in the amount of wages paid during the
first year of the Mckinley tariff of
81, 377, 925 over the year before; that
production increased 1875. 100, and
the average yearly earnings of employees
increased S23. 1 / in the same time. while
2S5. 900 individual employees had their
wages raised, and strikes were l, 40 less
numerous.
f. The report of the democratic SUI
perintendent of the banking depart
ment of New York state, showing that
deposits in savings banks on July 1,
1892 had increased $50. $50, 516.35 over
the deposits on January /, 1889, while
the number of depositors has increased
from 1,562,s52 to 1,556, 1873 in the: same
time.
Here are four weights, one for each
leg of the democratic mule, to hamper
him in his hopeless race for the presi-
Dental stakes What show the ridieu-
lous beast is making of himself, to be

National Characterization.

A traveller in Switzerland, who goes
in for mountaineering. writes: We ar
rived in the village of Loeche-les- Bains
and were eagerly welcomed by the viii
layers. 1t was there that one of my
guides described to me the behavior of
different nationalities when they get
to the top of the peak. A German
said he, as soon as he arrives at the top,
wants to know the exact height of the
mountain he is on, and of every peak
around him. A Frenchman goes into
raptures over the wild1ess of the seem
ery and the beauties of nature, and
sometimes accompanies his remarks by
an attempt to embrace his guide. The
Englishman, when he has done" his
peak, plunses'his iee-axe into the snow,
looks around him, and then says: II
say, open the sacks and let's have some
prub"-Yankee Blade.

Another Mckinley Industry.

Scarcely day passes that the news
papers do not chronicle some new tri-
umph for the Mckinley tariff. The
latest fact which has been brought to
light regarding the working of the new
tariff Jaw refers to the industry Of
down quilt making. Before the Nc
Kinley bill passed, % per cent of the
down quilts purchased in this country
were made in England. There was
only one manufacturer of these quilts
in the United States, and, according to
Il correspondent of the Rochester Demo-
crat and Chronicle, they cost $50 for the
finer and S12 for the cheaper grade.
Now, however, and under the stimulus
given TO the industry by increased pro-
lection, there are six manufacturers of
down quilts in this country, and 1000
persons are employed in the industry,
which is rapidly becoming quite an i'm
portant one. And prices? Well, quilts
that formerly cost $50 now cost SIT,
while the s12 quilts have fallen to So.
There is that in the history of the Me-
Kinley down quilt industry which will
bring tears of sorrow to the eyes of the
free trade '.reformer."

A CONNECTICUT valley tobacco crop 20
per cent. larger than ever before, as a
result of the restriction of the imports
of Sumatra tobacco and consequent
greater demand for Connecticut seed
leaf, is the latest tribute to the hene-
fetal workings of the Mckinley law.
Aud still they come.

A New Railroad Assured.

SIOUX FALLS, 8. D., August so
The prospect of building q new rail.
road from Sioux Falls to YaDkton lie
given a new and enlarged sign ficance
by . visit of w. l.. Hand, OF Ksarney,
Nebraska, who has just succeeded in
sffecting an alliance with local com.
pany.
The line will include an extension
to that point and become part OF a
scheme of developing therefrom a
route to the Gulf of Mexico.
The local company have already ar.
rang ed with New York capitalists to
take hold of the extension to YaDk-
ton and Kearney. The company has
similar arrangements for building
both northeast and southwest from
that point. The two projects are re.
garded rs promising material benefit
to Nebraska points.

The pugiI,sts COMPARED.

New YORK, August 30.-The Her
aid publishes as the opinion of an ex e
pert who judges from the training
and appearance of the two men, that
Corbett is in fine condition than
Sullivan and is the much better man
of the two. Sullivan has too much
loose fat on the back of his neck and
his waist is not hardened and there
looks to be too much fat on his
sides and stomach. His movements
are slower than Corbett's and seem
lis less. A few seconds of quick work
sent the Precipitation all over him.
When he sat in his corner at the end
of the first brief round his respiration
was hurried and seemed to become
uneven. There was no room for q
doubt as to Sullivsn's strength.
His blows were like pile driver.
There was no excess of the animal
spirits that marked every movement
of the more youthful giant. Sullivan
weighs 204 pounds stripped, he says,
but it is nearer 22O pounds.
To SUM up from personal point of
view, Corbett has on his side youth,
agility and endurance. Sullivan's
only advantage lies in his superior
strength

WITH A BULLET.
PROMINENT RAILROADER ENDS
HIS LIFE.
illness the Sole Cause-Suicides Al
most tn the Presence OF Hts
Young Wife and Hts
Children

This morning about $3.50 o'clock an
other life went out at the flash of the
suicidal pistol. At this hour Mr.. and
Mrs. E. l.. Bancroft were in their
room, an upper front room at Mrs.
Clarke boarding house, No. 44s Sole
dad street, (old number 34S) when
Mrs. Barefoot left the room moment
to procure drink OF water. AS she
was returning she heard the report of
q pistol in their room .and running in,
found her husband lying on the bed,
with his pistol, a 3S-calibre Smith &
Wesson, yet grssped In his hand, and
unconscious A young man staying
at the house entered an instant later
and saw the pistol grasped in the I'M
conscious mans hand, his thumb on
the trigger and the muzzle of
the weapon yet pressed against
the back of his head, at the
base OF the brain, where the bullet,
entered. Blood and brains oozed
freely from the wound and % soon as
the alarm was given messenger was
dispatched, post haste, for q physi-
clan. Doctors Hicks, Largen and
Simpson responded. DR.. Largen
probed the wound, finding the course
of the bullet had ranged upward, but
could not find the ball. which lodged
somewhere In the brain. All the
medical men pronounced the wound
IS necessarily fatal, and said that he
could not live through the day.
This prediction was verified one
hour later, when the young man died.
Mr.. Bancroft had lived In San An
tonic since last February, coming
here from Houston, with his wife and
family of three or four children. In
Houston he had held the position as
agent for the /. & G. n. railway. In
San Antonio he held the position as
general agent for the Cotton Belt
railway, with his office in the Mackey
building. Ill health and overwork in
Houston caused him to remove to
San Antonio, but, as he remarked q
few days ago to DR.. Simpson, he was
getting better very slowly. Despond-
ENJOY seems to have been the moving
cause OF his suicide.
Deceased was q young man yet,
being only about SO years of age,
aud apparently had . longer and
q more useful life before him than he
vouchsafed at his own discretion
to allot to himself. He was of medium
height, but of delicate physique. He
was q member of the Tyler Masonic
lodge, the Gatesville lodge. Knights
of Honor, and was also q member of
the Elks beneficiary order, and Order
of the Golden Cross.
Last night he left home saying he
had to meet q friend at the Menger
hotel. He returned home late and
retired, seemingly in the best of
spirits, and this morning arose and
dressed at his usual hour.
His friend, Mr.. Frank Rsnnie, saw
him last night and was talking to
him, but says he mentioned nothing
that would lead him TO imagine for q
moment that he contemplated suicide.
His relations with his wife and FAM
lily, too, were of the most loving and
domestic character.
The remains will be takel 10 Ter
rell, Texas, on the p. m. train today
for interment.

MEXICO, Mo-, Aug. 3O.-Today the
