The financial policy which en-
riches q few unproductiye drones
at the expense Of the great hive of
human industry is not only unjust
but criminal, and surely fatal to
national progress, and even the life
and existence of the republic is Sc
seriously threatened. The nation
which can show the most enormous
massing Of wealth can also show the
mostabiectpoverty. Theon is the
usual accompaniment Of the other.
Great wealth can not be massed ex-
cept it be taken from the thousands
who created it, to be conferred in the
hands Of the few who now hold it.
Every unusual luxury enjoyed by
one represents its equivalent in des-
titution and suffering to the many.
The advantage of the present tariff
system to the manufacturer is two
fold, and, inthe opinion of Senator
LELAND STANFORD, "under- it, the
people do not know how much they
are taxed, and, therefore, they dc

this country know that something
is wrong and they are quietly do.

pend upon it, they will be heard

Lindsay has been the terror OF the

an object of such cnmity.

SOLDIER RESTRICTIONS.


BUFFALO, Aug 23.--Iust as the set

elevators and men were thick about the
rum halls and blind alleys, "a corporal
and his men raided a group of grain
shovelcrs who had assembled at the
corner of Michigan street Curse the
whole of YOU growlcd one Of their
number, a wcll-known character
as he reiterated is this free
country?" he asked, addressing
an Associated Press correspondent
who stood near II tell you,' he con-
tinued, Its an outrage, when men who
have lived in this ward all their lives
have got to be driven about like dogs
by those tin soldiers from brooklyn,
and be jabbed in the legs 10y their bay
onets if you don't scampcr off the min
ute they tell you; we won't stand it
much longer" The man went on eN-
citedly: "We'n fix them one of these
nights II they don't let up on
their funny business. There are
thirteen hundred OF rs grain shovel
ers and fifteen hundred longshore-
men, and enough more of the
boys in the umber-yards to make n
good thrre thousand strong men who
hang around these corners. We are n
good crowd, too, in row, and most of
us have done a little fighting in our
day. Do you suppose we care for guns

TIE AMERICAN STRIKES.

Miners Drstroyers

LoNpoN, Aug. 93-The Daily News,
commenting on the American strikes,
strongly dcuounccs what it terms the
'barbarous and trcachcrous" methods of
the strikers, especially the miners. 1t
SAYS: These men are not entitled to the
name Strikers in its ordinary sense.
They are not even insurgents, who re-
snect the ordinary laws of war They
are dcstroyers of life and property, No
wonder that public feeling throughout
America is aroused To a great degree
against these desperadoes; and, bearing
the circumstances in mind, we must
make due allowance for the substance
and tone Of Gov. Buchanan's proclama'
tion We do not desire To see the riot
crs .ynched. but it will be an evil day
for democracy il such acts of brutality
escape just punishment"
