Arizona weekly journal-miner., 1892-11-02

morning, which will receive the
 attention of the JOURNAL MINER in
 due time. An editorial in the paper
 treating of the same subject is com
 posed of such vulgarity and nasti-
 ness in its expressions that no refer
 ence to it is necessary further than
 10 promise the readers of this paper
 that they need have no fear of being
 inflicted with such literature. James
 k. Lowry is public official of
 Havapai county and his official acts
 are the legitimate subject of criti-
 cism, and while We propose to show
 that Tiger Business" up in its true light, and draw our conclusions from it, we shall do so in respectful
 and just criticism of the official,
 not the man. As an individual and gentleman, We respect MT. Lowry,
 and We have no intention whatever of mi>repreSenting or miSsi ating facts, as we do not believe that any
 thing can be accomplished by per sonal abuse, and if it could, we have no desire to misrepresent or abuse any one.
 Free traders, or if they do not like that term, let us call them tar if reformers, anything, but they may spin all the delusiye theories imaginable and may ask time and again, where high tariff has increas- ed the wages of workingmen, but they can not obliterate history. The history of the country has been that prosperity has always attended protection and diversity goes hand in hand with low tariff. There has never been a time in the history of the country when there was so much money in our savings banks as to-day; never so good wages in pro portion to cost of living; never such varied employment for so large number of men and women, in proportion to our population; never so much of the external comforts of life and of taste, as well as comfort, in the homes of the people; never a paper currency more sound and safa; never interest on money so low; never foreign commerce so great; never a home trade more i'm portant and foreign commerce so immense; never crops on our farms so valuable as to-day. All this under Republican and Protection methods and policy.
 Although it war not unexpected, the announcement this morning, of the death of Mrs. Harrison, caused a general feeling of sorrow and gloom. The first woman of the land, the wife of the president of the United States has at last been call ed to obey the summons which must come to us all sooner or later. During her protracted illness this noble woman has borne her suffer ings patiently. The bereaved family will have the sympathy of the na- tion in their affliction. Although we are in the midst of campaign, in which the husband of the woman, who now lies dead in the white house, is candidate for reelection, and is being opposed with all the political bitterness imaginable by the democratic party, expressions of sympathy will be heard from one end of the country to the other for the bereaved husband. It is in such emergencies as these that the world at large is made to realize the beauties end perfection of our gov ernment. No matter how bitter the political warfare may wage, in the hour of affiiction, when the great and the good of either party is laid low by death, the great pulse of the nation throbs as a single party. Partisanship sinks out of sight in
 he presence of death, and on occas- ions of this kind there is only one party, that of sorrowing sympathiz- ting American citizens.
 Mark Smiths speech in Phenix was devoted mostly to a defense of John Dunbar, editor of the Phenix Gazette, and in trying to- belittle the record of Delegate Joseph from New Mexico. In the latter attempt, Smith showed that he not only made no attempt to do anything for his own territory but that he does not keep track of what other dele gates are doing. He says that an appropriation that he was credited with receiving for his territory was simply bill authorizing the ter ritory to appropriate money to erect a capitol building. Now New Mexico erected a capitol building before Joseph was elected, and she did it without asking leave of con- gress, appropiating therefor s3O0,0O0 or rather issuing territorial bonds for that amount. Joseph's record for appropriations received as pulp ished in the JouRNAL-MrNER is not denied by the papers of New Mexico which are opposing his reelection. It certainly seems rather base act then on the part of a delegate from a sister territory, delegate too of the same political faith as Joseph to deny his record on account of his own, showing nothing when com pared with it. But MT. Smith in his Phenix speech says: "The re- cord shows that I have obtained an
