WASHINGTON. ID. g, Feb. Z
Ex-U. s. Treasurer Huston saysi "I
am not taking an active part in politics
now. Iwould say that since my return
home from Washington have been de.
voting my entire time to nv various busi.
ness enterprises, and consequently know
but little of what has been done by either
of the party organizations In my state, and
/ might add here that my visit TO Wash.
ington at this time has no political signifi-
canoe whatever. Both parties in Indians
have organized their state committees and
also selected their new county committees,
and ! presume are earnestly and yigor
ously arranging for the preliminary work
of the campaign. It is evident that the
democrats of Indiana are entering the
contest with a determination to make
most vigorous and aggressive fight. and the
republicans throughout the state, recog.
nizing this fact. have the fullest possible
conception of the urgent necessity existing
for thorough and systematic party organi'
zation."

THE BEST MARKET.

II there is anything that the ''tarif 10
former" has profound contempt for, il
is the home market. When mention Is
made of the valuable home market which
protection is building up for the farmer,
the ''tarif reformers" nose Immediately
points skyward, and look of supreme
disgust takes possession of his counte-
nance. He scorns to consider 80 paltry q
thing as the home market. It is ''the
markets of the world" that claim his at
tention and awaken his enthusiasm.
And yet, compared to the home mar
ket the markets of the word are Of very
small consequence to the American
farmer. It is at home that most of his
products are sold and consumed. Many
farmers do not know it, but it is a fact
that very little of what they raise, COM
paratively, ever finds its way beyond
the borders of the United States. Out
side of cotton and tobacco, the total ag-
ricultural products Of this country now
amount to 100000 per annum.
OF this enormous aggregate. 90 per cent
is consumed at home, and only 8 per
cent exported. That is to say, the home
market takes very nearly all the farmer
has to sell, while the foreign market
takes but trife.
It is this valuable market that the
republican party has been building up
for the farmer and preserving to him
by wise tariff laws. The competition in
the markets of the world is SO sharp
and fierce that the American producer
gets but small share of the business,
although republican reciprocity has
practically removed all barriers to his
free entrance to those markets. The
markets of the world are not to be de-
spised, but they do not compare in i'm
portance with the market that is nearest
to the farmers door.
In time, If the present economic policy
is maintained, the home market will
overtake the homo supply, and tho
American farmer will be entirely indie
pendent Of foreign purchasers. Every
thing he has to sell will find ready
buyer close at hand and a consumer
not many miles away. He win use
American-made goods and will feed
American mouths, and the country will
be stronger, more independent and more
than it has ever been before
or any other couRtry can ever become

A REVENUE TARIFF.
>. K.r... CITY, No Ionru.l

From the Kansas City. No. Journal.
That is what the present tariff is. It
raises enough money to meet the gov
ernment's expenses and obligations with
tho aid of the internal revenue taxes,
and but little, if any, more A few
years ago it did more than this. It
brought in a surplus. But the removal
of the sugar duties and the enactment
of the disability pension law have to-
geeber operated to wipe out the annual
surplus, and, in fact, 10 occasionally
threaten deficit.
No important reduction can be made
in the present custom house receipts
without causing the government serious
embarrassment The question, there
fore, is not whether certain amount Of
revenue shall be raised, but how it shall
be raised. So far as the amount is con-
cerned, q protective tariff and q revenue
tariff are substantially tho same. The
republicans insist that these necessary
tariff duties shall be imposed in such q
way a to stimulate and protect home
industry and put large share Of the
burden upon the foreigner who gets his
living in our market. The democrats
hold that the interests Of home labor
should be wholly ignored and the tariff
laid upon articles that are imported in
large quantities, such % sugar, coffee.
| tea, etc.
When there ID high tariff on these
staple articles which are not produced
IN any considerable quantities in thu
country, no bad effects are felt by tn
foreign producer; We arc compelled tc
have his products, tariff or no tariff
But when . high tariff is placed on othss
articles. such a. can be produced in Thu
country, We find the foreign Producer
failing IN business and closing out then
plsnts. Those Who survive arc com.
PEELED to ship into our markets at . Low
enough price to pay the tariff and
still compete with the homo produces.
It = clear, therefore. that tho policy
which raises . certain amount Of rsvs
Eue and at the same time builds N
home industry. Is to Be preferred r
tho policy which raises the same rsve
nue and 1t the same time does NO
build up home industriea IF ths pro

adds: This free importation until the end Of
November and reduced import duty until

in all regions west Of the Mississippi. Tho
extension of time for free or reduced import
duties will continue this demand and win

SHOT NEAR THE HEART.
A Young NJ xcan Now Lying in a
Dangerous Condition Effected by
the Discharge of a Gun.

AT 1880 o'clock this morning the neigh
Dorhood around the Lone Star brewery
was filed with excitement, the cause being
tne shooting OF a young Mexican named
Baraubio Montalvo, aged nineteen years,
who resides with his parents on the Rock
Quarry road. near the top OF the hill.
The facts as received by LIGHT re
porter are, that at the time above stated,
Montalvo went out into field in some
brush. He remained there few moments
and when he started back to the house.
he fell almost dead, having been shot in
the left side, just above the heart, the
weapon being, from the appearance of the
wound, gun. He called, as best he could,
for aid and soon his cries were heard and
he was taken to his home. DR.. Troll niger
was summoned, dressed the wound and
ordered that the young man be kept in
his bed for some time.
The mounted policemen, Brown and
Beck, were telephoned for and soon ap-
peared on the scene. They learned from
Montalvo'S statement, that just before he
was shot, he saw two young men walking
through the BRUSH both carrying guns
1t is presumed, judging from this fact,
that the two young fellows were out rab-
bit hunting and accidentally shot this
young man while aiming at game.
