PRICE ONE CENT


A story which, If true, Is one Of the
most sensational on record reaches Paris
from the Spanish frontier. A farmer
and his wife, living at Peralada, near
Fgueras. had saved up sixty pounds in
order to hire a substitute to serve in the
army for their SON. who had been called
upon to join the colors. The parents,
accompanied by their boy, set out the
other day for Corona in order to find
the substitute, leaving their daughter
Dolores TO keep house in their absence.
Meanwhile local bad character named
Foulanou, who lived in the next house
TO the farmer. overheard the latter and
his wife as they were conversing about
the object of their proposed visit to
Corona. He also learned through caves
dropping operations the amount OF
money raised and heard the farmers
wife locking it up in a wardrobe.
When the coast was clear of every
body but Dolores, Foulanou-his face
covered with a mask-entered his neigh.

fully after him, and going TO the kitchen
there seized the girl, gagged her and
bound her to an iron post which sup
ported beam. Standing over Dolores
with knife, the robber made her point
to the place where the sixty pounds was
secreted. As he was putting the money
in his pocket the girl muttered some
words OF reproach, whereupon Foulanou
said that as she recognized him despite
his disguise she must die. She could,
however, choose the manner of her
death, whereupon the girl said she pre-
ferred hanging to being butchered with
the robbers knife.
The most sensational part of this story
is its climax. Foulanou, in tying the
rope whice he intended for the maiden,
got his neck hopelessly entangled in IL.
and was accidentally strung up himself.
Then there arrived ON the scene, like
true hero of romance, the lover of Do
lores, who was accompanied by crowd
of villagers and Foulanous wife. The
robber was released from his perilous
position, restored to consciousness and
handed over to justice. The curtain fell

In a recent conversation the Russian
czar is said TO have expressed himself on
the subject of republican form of gov
ernment.
Il can perfectly understand" /" said the
czar. ''that republic would be the ideal
form of government for an ideal people
What am unable to understand is a
representative monarchy, which regard
as regime of lies and corruption.
However" he added, whether a
republican form be good or bad for
other countries, it would not do at all
for Russia, which is not ripe for any
other government than that which she
enjoys oday."-Exchange.

FREE TRADE CLAP TRAP.
High Tariffs Cannot Affect Wages
in the Least.


Eighth - England has tried free
trade, and has she prospered? Wages
are less and necessities very little
cheaper than in America, while capital
and labor are so divided that misery
stalks abroad"
AnSwer-If necessarieS are very little
cheaper there than here, then why levy
90 per cent tariff for American labor
ers to pay to keep out cheap goods
from American farmers and laborers?
But who is talking free trade i'm this
campaign? Certainly not the Demo-
cratic party; and yet his statement
proves nothing. Place popula-
ton in the United States of
one soul for each two acres of
land instead of one TOR every
thirty-seven that we HOW have, and
would high tariffs. think you, sustain
wages any higher than they now are in
England? Or, if you please, give Eng
land new country with from LOCO to
81 acres for each of her population in
which to apply her theories of govern
ment, and would she be less prosperous
than this country now is? In short,
dare any thinking man assert that, I'M
der laws that insured equal rights, equal
protection and equal opportunities to
all classes of our citizens, the American
people should not have become III this
year of grace more prosperous, happy
and eontented people than they now
are?
Ninth-"Our exports under the first
year of McKinleyism increased $780,
000,000.'
Answer-Is McKinleyism responsible
for the almost entire failure of European
crops and for the bountiful harvests in
America? If SO, then the credit claimed
is due to McKinleyism; if not, then our
exports, owing to an unfortunate COM
bination of circumstances in Europe,
increased in spite Of this monstrous in
EQUITY, the Mckinley bill.

The Agrfeuturist Asked to Believe This Nonsense
While His Wheat Drops About Two
Cents Every Day.
Republican Business Methods Used in Filching
From the People TO Make Many Manu-
faeturers Multi Millionaires.

Does any serious. thoughtful man really
think for moment that they wish an
increase in the wages OF their employees
and IN the profits of the farmer that
supplies them with their raw material?
DO not the labor troubles and the COM
blnationS of these bounty fed manu-
facturers and the trusts. fostered
and fattened by our tariff boun-
ties: do not these labor troubles and
combinations to rob the farmer of the
profit from his wheat. TO force him to
pay two prices for his machinery and
Tor everything that he must buy. these
combinations to diSarm labor comblna-
tons organized to secure fair treatment
from their masters; do not all these cir
cumStances disclose the true animuS
and hypocrisy OF Republican politicians
and their masters, the beneticiaries of
our tariff ? The millions that they con-
tribute to the corruption fund to carry
elections for the party in league with
them TO rob us are for the double pur-
pose of electing their friends and secur
ing legislation that will enable them to
rob us of still other millions through
the agency OF the protective tariff pol
icy and through these unholy combina-
tons and trusts foStered by that tariff
trusts organized to increase the profits
upon their products by depressing the
markets for agricultural products and
by throttling labor organizations that
have for their objects the securing of
fair wages for their members.

BASE DECEPTION
Upon Men Who Win by the Sweat
of Their Brow.

Let US as Republicans and Democrats
be 20 longer deceived. The Republican
party that we revere, the party of Lin
coin, is dead. The party that could
sustain an army of nearly million of
men in the field and pay off an Immense
national debt by duty of so per cent is
no more. and Its degenerate offspring
can not defray the ordinary ex-
penses of the. government and its
pampered favorites by tax twice
as great. The Republican party that

asks us by Our votes to continue it in

benefit OF a small body of individuals.
mOnopolieS' places and power for cash
down" And we. the farmers and me-
chanics and laboring men, supply them
with the cash.
The millions contributed by the tariff
beneticlarieS to be used as a corruption
fund TO carry our elections for their
friends in the Republican party evil
dence the truth Of this statement, if no
other evidence was al hand: but we
have other evidence in the colossal for
tunes amassed by the tariff benefici-
aries and trust companies, foStered
by Republican legislation, as well
as by the unrest of our laborers,
and the depression of the agricultural
interests. Furthermore. we all know
that rapid railroad building should have
Increased the agricultural wealth of the
country more rapidly than it does any
otherform of wealth; but the fact is that
in 1860 the census placed the agricult-
ural wealth of the country at three
quarters its entire wealth; but today the
mining and manufacturing wealth con-
stitute about thIee-quarters of the en-
tire wealth of the United States, and
agricultural wealth is only tenth.
What further evidence do our farmers,
mechanics and labOrers need of the fact
that they are not getting a fair deal un-
der Republican rule?

A FRAUD THROUGHOUT.
Protection Left Without a Leg TO
stand On.

Ask all classes OF laborers if their
wages would not go further if the arti-
fetal dearneSs of the things that they
must buy could be removed, and the
answer must be in the affirmative. But
even if it is believed--it cannot be DEM
onstrated-that the 100000 directly
employed by the protected industries
are slightly benefited by the excessive
tariff now in force, where is the SENSE
or justice of levying tribute upon the
other lS,00e,0U0 for doubtful benefit to
the much smaller number?
No, indeed. the policy of the Repub
lican party does not increase wages.
They are regulated in part by labor
unions, but upon the whole by the rela-
tive number of laborerS seeking en-
ployment.
1t does not increase the number of
small factories, but fosters trusts that
freeze them out and stiles competition,
and StrangleS organized labor. 1t does
not cheaper products; this is done by
the discoveries of the scientist, the
chemist and the inventor; and Repub-
lican legislation has for twenty-five
years only interpOSed TO prevent the
people from profiting fully and enjoy
Ing the fruits and benefits that should
have come from cheaper processes and
cheap products. Things necessary for
the use of man have been growing
cheaper in Europe as fast as they have
here duriug the last half century. and
they there have no such system of help
ing the people by taxing them.

THE WOOL BUGABOO.
Much Clothing Now Made OF
European Rags.


Tenth-"The imports of foreign wool
to compete with American wool was
greatly diminished last year by the Nc
Knley tariff"
Answer-Did this fact accrue to the
advantage of American wool growers?
Did they receive a penny more for their
wool? On the contrary, is not wool
lower than ever before? Furthermore
the Importation of European shoddy
was last year increased by millions of
pounds, and Is, 200. 900 American people
are using blankets and wearing clothes
made from European rags; that, but for
the high tariff on wool, would be using
blankets anG wearing cloth made of
pure wool at prices no higher, if so
high. as those they pay for the shoddy-
made article, and our woolgrowers are
receiving no more, but actually less for
their wool. But it is useless to multi
ply examples. The whole system is
wrong in principle.
EIeventh-The speaker dwelt at
length upon the beauties of reciprocity,
sand instanced the Island of Cuba, where
he said we had formerly sold annually
only a few sacks OF American flour, but
where we last year, under our reciproc-
ity treaty, sold many hundred thousand
sacks.
Answer-In the name of common
sense, if reciprocity with the little Island
of Cuba does so much toward opening
market for our agricultural products,
what would the Democratic policy of
reciprocity with all the great nations of
Europe do in giving US profitable mar
ket for the fruits OF our fields and the
products of our mines and factOrieSI

TARIFF FOR REVENUE.
One of Evans Lies Is Neatly

One of Evans Lies Is Neatly
Nailed.
Fifth-''The Democrats. he said, ''de-
mand tariff for revenue only: this
means tariff on what we cannot pro-
duce, such for example, as tea. coffee.
sugar. etc. What do the voters OF this
country think of the prospect under
Democratic rule of paying the expenses
OF the government by tax upon their
teas and coffees?"
AnSwer-A tariff for revenue means
no such thing: but it does mean such all
adjustment of the tariff as will make up
to our manufacturers for the difference
III the cost of labor here and IN Europe,
and allow fair dividend on
capital actually invested; such a
tariff as would place them on equal
footing, with European manufacturers
and force them TO compete on fair and
equal terms with foreign goods sent
here to exchange for our wheat. Such
a tariff will increase the foreign de-
mand for our fOodstuff. 1t will broaden
the market for agricultural products,
and afford at the same time ample pro-
lection for our manufacturers. 1t will
destroy the trusts that now fix arbitrary
prices on everything that we buy, and
it will increase wages by cheapening
the necessities that wages must buy.
Such All adjustment of the tariff is a
revenue tariff, and will increase, il it is
necessary to do SO, the revenues of the
government
