had grown up naturally and succeeded
we'll, and they felt confident Of its con-
tinusd prosperity if let alone by the
government. They argued that by lay
ing a protective tariff their business
would be thrown out of Its natural chan
nels, and be subject to fluctuation and
uncertainty. But. as usual. the clamor
of selfish and less far-seeing men, and
the ambition Of lawmakers to usurp the
place of Providence prevailed. The
country entered on protective policy,
with the unfailing result that the gov
ernment help begot violent demand
for more government help.
The moderate tariff of 1916 rapidly
grew into the tariff of denominations"
that carried the country to the verge of
civil discord and provoked natural re-
vulsion. Protection has run o like
course since 1861. When congress
began to repeal war burdens, aud to re-
lleve manufacturers of the internal
taxes, which they had used to secure
compensating duties on like foreign
products. there arose a demand through
the country, without respect to party,
for reduction of the Wartariff.

pie.
Unable to resist this demand the pro-
tected Industries baffled and thwarted
any reduction by substituting senate
bill which carried horizontal cut of
10 per cent. AS soon as the elec ton
of 1874 gave the house to the Dem
ocratic party that bill was repealed by
the outgoing Republicans, and rates re-
stored to what they were before 1872.
And although the demand tor tariff re-
form and for reduction of taxes has
ever since been burning and growing
one i'll the country, the protected in
dustrleS have eXacted and received from
every Republican congress elected
since 1874 an increase of their protec-
ton, occasionally permitting the re-
peal or lessening of tax that was paid
into the treasury in order to
keep away from or to increase
duties levied for their benefits.
Protection. left to it's own momentum,
never stops short of prohibiting; and
prohibitory walls are always needing to
be built higher, or to be patched and
strengthened. A protective tariff never
has and never can give stability and
satisfaction to Its own benefclarieS.
Even If its victims are too weak and too
scattered to agtate for its decrease,
those benefciarieS are sure to agitate
for an increase. When the reform tariff
of 1886 was before congress the air was
full of prophecies that it would destroy
our leading industries, throw labor out
of employment, or work at pauper
wages, and dwarf and arrest the pros
porous growth of the country. Every
representative of four great manufact-
uriDg states of New England voted
against it with gloomy forebodings of
its blighting effect. The rate
of duties provided in that tar
iff was much lower than those
of the bill we here offer. What was the
result? Instead of practically killing
the industries and pauperiZing the labor
of New England or the rest of the
country, the tariff of 1916 gave immense
vigOt to manufacturers, with steady en-
plOymeut and increasing wages to the
lab0rer, So that after eleven years ex-
perience under it, the longest period of
stability we have ever enjoyed under
any tariff, the representatives of these
same states with practical unanimity
voted for further reduction of 20 per
cent, and by a two-thirds vote sustained
the tariff of 1857, which made a reduc-
tiOn of 25 per centum; and SO we'll con-
tented and prosperous were the manu-
facturers of that and other sections of
the country under the low rate of tariff
Of 1857 that when the Morrill, bill of 1861

THEY MAY FIGHT.
Jacksonville Says Glove Contests

May occur.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Dec. 19.-The
city council of Jacksonville passed this
evening, with only three opposing
votes. the ordinance permitting gl We
contests. The ordinance allows pugi-
lists to meet with fye-ounce gloves for
an unlimited number of rounds. A
license of S25 is required of the pro-
moters Of the contest, and the chief Of
police is to supervise the affair. Viola
tion of ordinance is punished by 5000 and
thirty days Imprisonment. The ordi-
nance now goes to Mayor Dufetcher, and
it is said he will veto it. The council,
however. will Immediately pass the or.
dinance over the mayors veto. and
everything will be made smooth for the
contest between Corbett and Mitchell,
provided Gov. Mitchell keeps his hands
off. The governor is keeping as silent
as the Sphinx at present, and no Que
can guess what he intends to do. The
general impression is, however, that the
opposition to the fight has about spent

den-Farmers Unjustiy Over
burdened by Taxation.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-The follow
ing is the majority report of the ways
and means committee:
The American people, after the full
est and most thorough debate ever given
by any people to their fiscal policy.
have deliberately and rightly decided
that the existing tariff is wrong in prin-
ciple and grievously unjust In opera
tion. They have decided, as free men
must always decide-that the power of
taxation has no lawful or constitutional
exercise except for providing revenue
for the support of the government.
Every departure from this principle is
departure from the fundamental prin-
ciples of free constitutions, and inevita-
bly, works out gross inequality in the
citizenship of a. country. For more
than thirty years we have levied the
taxes In violation of this vital
truth. until we have reached in the
existing tariff an extreme and volum-
inous system of class taxation to which
history may be challenged to furnish
any parallel. So many private enter
prises have been taken into partnership
with the government t, so many private
interests now share in the rich preroga-
tive of taxing 100000 of people, that
any attempt to dissolve this illegal
union is necessarily encountered by an
opposition that rallies behind the intol-
erance of monopoly, the power of con-
centrated wealth, the Inertia of fixed
habits, and the honest errors of a gener-
alton Of false teaching. The bill on
which the committee has expended
much patient and anxious labor is now
offered as complete response to the
mandate of the American people. 1t

protection than to be free of all errors
In its complex and manifold detail. How
ever we may deny the existence of any
legislative pledge or of the right of any
congress to make such pledge for the
continuance of duties that carry with
them more or less acknowledged protec-
ton. we must recognize that great in
tereSts do exist whose existence and
prosperity it is no part of our reform
either to imperil or to curtail. We be-
lieve, and we have the warrant of our
past experience for believing, that reduc-
ton of duties will not injure, but
give more abundant life to all our
great manufacturing industries, how
ever much they may dread the change.
In dealing with the tariff question, as
with every other long-standing abuse
that has interviewer itself with our
social or Industrial system. the legislator
must always remember that, in the be-
ginning, temperate reform is safest,

ON TRIAL FOR MURDER.
But will Probably Not Be Con.
vfcted.

Special to the Globe.
GRAND FORKS, n. D., Dec. 19.-The
district court room has been crowded
all today, every aisle and passageway
being filled with spectators, who stood
all day long listening to the trial of
Banker Murphy for killing the man
who as saulted his little daughter. Many
visitors in the city attended the trial,
and the subject is tine one theme of con-
versation everywhere. The examine
tion OF witnesses for the state was COM
pleted today, and the fact of homicide
was established. The evidence of
the defense aims to establish the
temporary insanity of defendant
when the shooting was done. Wit
nesses testified that Murphy had been
kicked in the head by a mule when a
child and had his skull fractured; that
he has since suffered from epilepsy;
has been subject to trouble with his
head at frequent intervals and espe-
cially when excited; that he was greatly
excited on the morning of the shooting
by reason of the wrong done his child,
and shot the villain while in a state of
frenzy. Several doctors gave expert
testimony that Murphy was suffering
from temporary insanity when the act
was committed, and sentiment is gener-
ally with Murphy. 1t is believed he
will be acquitted.

of the Pennsylvania is accused by the
other lines in the y hio river system Of
ingeniously evading the passenger rates

Piedmont exposition books have
not been gone over yet. 1t
is claimed that Arnold forged
President Wylie's name to several

positive evidence that he committed
suicide. The day he took sick be told

shave and invited him to his funeral.
Arnold IS supposed to have lost money

Victim With Revolvers, and a
Woman Goes Through His
Pockets s-Other Events of
Similar Nature.
The highwaymen who have been alb
sent frem the city for week or so have
returned, aud. from all accounts, they
are plying their calling unmolested by
the detectives and police.
Last evening shortly after o'clock
visitor from Sioux City was held up on
Cedar street, near Seventh, and robbed
OF small sum of money, which, fort
unately for him. was all he had with
him. The two highwaymen. while hold
Ing revolvers to his head, were assisted
in their operations by woman, who,
while the victim, with a fear OF being
Killed, stood with his hands in the air,
deftly unbuttoned his overcoat and
searched his pockets for the yalu-
ables. The search being made and
what was worth taking having
been transferred to the weman's pocket
the robbed man was directed to walk
down Cedar street. and advised that if
he looked around or made any noise he
would be killed. Acting on the Sugges-
ton he moved toward Sixth street, and
did not look back until he had gone half
block. When he turned around the
trio were out of sight. The robbery
was reported to the police, but the Off
cials, as usual, deny the report. Sew
eral persons who were near the corner
of Seventh and Cedar streets at the
time the victim made known the facts
OF the robbery verify the statements,
but none of them were able to give the
mans name.
On Saturday night W. f. Smith.
fireman employed on the Great North
ern. was held up at the corner of Viola
and Brewster avenue by two men and
robbed of $50 In cash and his watch and
chain. The description given by Smith
of the two thugs tallies with that given
OF the two men who attempted to hold
up Jacob Miller on Sunday night.
A bold attempt to rob the residence Of
William Dowlan, Ga Iglehart street. was
made Sunday night. Mrs. Dowlan and
an infant were alone In the house at the
time, her husband and the other children
having left for short walk. Mrs. Dow
Ian heard a noise in the kitchen, but
supposed it was her husband who had
returned. a few moments afterward
an attempt was made to open the door
of her bedroom. She called out, think
ing it was one of the family, but receiv-
ing no response, became alarmed.
With great presence of mind she
scared the thieves by asking in
loud voice where the revolver was,
and at the same time began to open
drawers in the dresser as if in search of
the weapon. The two men started out
of the house and Mrs. Dowlan followed
to the door. AS they stood on the side.
walk one of the men in answer to her
inquiries said that they were detectives.
A lady and gentleman coming along the
street just then frightened the twain
and they left, going in the direction of
Wabasha street. One Of the men Mrs.
Dolan described as tall man and the
other short and stout. AS the Miller
hold-up occurred fifteen minutes later
and the scene of the assault is not dis
tant from the Dowlan residence, it is
quite probable the same two were the
ones who visited the Dowlan house.
