SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Oct. 3.--Homer
Finlay, formerly a well-known citizen
of San Antonio, but who for the past
six years has been engaged in the mer-
camille business in the city Of Morlia,
Mexico, arrived here Sunday and gave
a vivid account of the famine riot
which occurred in that city last
Sunday, and of which but very
brief mention was made in the City Of
Mexico newspapers He says that it
was one of the most exciting and pitia
BILE scenes ever witnessed in the repub-
lie, and that another serious outbreak
of the same kind is threatened at any
time
Morild is the capital state of Mich
oacan and the residence of the arch
bishop of the diocese 1t is one of
the most beautiful cities in southern
Mexico, but notwithstanding all of its
attractions its several thousand poor
people are on the verge of starvation,
owing to the total failure of the crops
for the last four seasons and scarcity
OF all food supplies. Mr. Finlay said:
when the famine was threatened several
months ago several of the wealthy mer-
chants of Morla contracted for large guam

shipments amounting to 5000 bushels,
which is enough 10 have supplied the suf

put sip the prices and txt0rted what
little money the poor people had in a short
time. For the past Two months the suffering
among the poor has been intense ANA many
deaths have occurred The streets became
rhrouged with begElrS ana the hungry men,
women ana children made q hoartrcuIing APP
peal for help.
This was kept mp until last sunday when
the starving horde organized themselves into q
mob and driven by desperation begana concert
ed attack upon the food stores Of the city. There
were fully COCO people in the mob, ana
the police were utterly powerIess to stop its
progress One maiccria, or feed store, was
entered ana but little corn was found. The
frenzy Of The mob increased The two rcgi-
ments Of federal cavalry and one Of infantry
stationed at Nora were called out to quel the
riot, but their appearance only added to the
desperation Of the starving people. The com
m2nder planted the soldiers in front OF the mob,
but they fought their way through Several
persons were injured
Gen. Mercade. the governor az the state by
this time had made his appearance and came
near falling victim 70 the vengeance OF
the mob who claimed that he should have
taken steps 70 relieve their suffering The
soldiers opened fire upon the people ana one
man was killed and several wounded Acting
on command ot its leader the mob started for
the Erainsrtes o. Joseph Martinez, in which s.
900 bushels q corn were stored They broke
down the doors and supplied themselves with
all they ooald carry away. As soon Is their
temporary wants had been supplied the mob
quietly dispersed.

The Plundered Homestead
FROM THE SPEECH or CONGRESSMAN
DCLLIyER OF IOWA.


Ny young friend from Nebraska the
other day took one of his young farmer
constituents down from the cannibal
tree long enough to use him for the pur-
pose of pointing the moral and adorning
that tale of the ''plundered homestead
or "the adventured of young married

ting "a young woman who is willing to

ton and operation of that home. And

etic and absolutely hopeless, he artist
gives the unhappy couple no sign Of de-
tense except the lung capacity of the

its voice: Hands OFF, Great laugh

existence of the constitution, the Jaw

no intention of keeping them: it hopes
to win BY its siren cry of ''Reform"
without attempting to explain what the
cry means, its orators grow eloquent
and vehement over the scussion of the
"Robber Tariff, endeavoring to leave
their audiences under tho impression
that tariff is an unnecessary tax, and
is simply a republican scheme for max
the rich, richer, and the poor, poorer.
They forget to tell their audiences that
it costs more than one million dollars
every day to run this government and
that the money must be raised some
how. They forget to say that the re-
venues have have been raised by tariff
since the United States commenced its
constitutional life and that their party
platform proposes to continue the
method. They hold up to ridicule the
tariff act known as the mckinley bill, -
but they wisely forget to state the fact
that four years ago their anchor of hope
was the famous tariff act known as the
"Mllls bill, an act that in its operation
raised millions of dollars more than are
raised by the Mckinley bill. They for
get the fact and deal in fancy. They
picture the woe that in their spasmodi-
cally fertile imaginations is to be, and
yet never is. They talk of distress in
some far away spot, neglect to speak of
the prosperity that is visible on every

Free Trade scribblers run short Of argu-
ment they resort 10 ribsIdry as in the
above quotation. II goes to show that
they have no facts to sustain them,
Cleveland says: "A protective tariff is
stealing" and the Herald says: 1T is
the sum Of all vlllainies." protection
is only another name for -preservs-
ton" It is based on the theory hat we
owe higher duty TO the people Of our
own country than to those of any other
nation. A nation should first of all be
just to those citizens upon whom its ex-
istence depends. To support our gov
eminent, enforce its laws and maintain
its standard among the nations of the
earth large revenue is required to be
regularly forthcoming, backed by an
unlimited reserve of both men and
money which can be drawn against in
case OF emergency. 1t is in behalf Of
these citizens thai Protection demands
privileges over foreign business cOmpe-
titors that under all circumstances will
fully offset the sacrifices they are COM
PEELED to make. From the stand point
of equity, foreign producers have no
more right to free admittance to the
markets of this country for their wares
than they would have, if here, to occupy
the business houses of our merchants
without first making terms satisfactory
to the owners. "Do unto others as you
would have others do unto YOU" but
you should never forget that the Others,
who should have the preference, belong
to your own family, your own township
and the country where you have your
home and whose best interests you are
in duty bound to serve. The real effect
of protective tariff is to give good
wages to people who work. The people
who labor in the United States get near
ly twice as much pay for their work as
do similar people anywhere else on the
face of the earth, and three and four
times as much as they are paid in very
many foreign countries. Can anyone
claim that the producers of goods steal
from the people to whom they pay such
excellent wages. Certainly not
The government must have money to
pay expenses, and must obtain it by
taxation of some kind. Certainly it is
not stealing to raise money by tariff or
any other form of taxation. The man
who calls it stealing is so blinded by
theory that be will not reason correct
ly. That it has damaged American
industries, the Senate's Labor Report
and Peck's labor statistics of n Y as
well as all other reports prove the asser-
ton to be false. That it has debased
American workmen and imported the
worst of pauper labor" is false and has
no foundation to sustain it. That pro.
lection should cause "the demon cholera
to stalk across Europe and fling itself
upon our shores is but the vaporings
