Duel Between Farmers.

J. A. Mills and Charles Estes fought a
duel last week, ten miles north OF Pom
eroy on the Deadman river. Mills was
killed after several shots were fired.
Some trouble over an irrigating ditch
was the cause. Estes went to town and
gave himself up, and was exonerated
after his testimony was corroberated by
others.

have freight rates on wheat reduced 81
per ton to coast points. To secure this
several petitions are being circulated

joicing here over the news received today
by telegraph from Representative Will

opening uf the Nez Perce reservation has

two houses of congress. This insures its
enactment into law. presentatives
Holman and Wilson were the Conlerees

The opening OF the reservation means

public lands remaining in the public do

uaFy H. 1891.
We have become, MIR. President, the
wealthisst nation upon the face Of this
earth, and the'grester part Of these enor-
NOUS acCumulations has been piled up
during che past twenty yeRrs-rom 1850
90 1880 Notwithstanding the losses in-
curred by the most destructive war Of
modern times, the emancipation Of 4 bll-
lions Of slave property, the expense Of
feeding the best fed, Of clothing the
best clothed, and Of sheltering the best
sheltered people in the world-notwith-
standing all the losses by fire and food.
During that period Of twenty years the
wealth Of the country increased at the
rate OF S250,0O0 for every hour. Every
time that the clock ticked above the
portal Of this chamber the aggregated,
accumulated, permanent wealth Of this
country increased more than s70 Sir, it
rivals, it exceeds the fCtions Of the Ara
bian Nights. There is nothing in the
story OF the lamp Of Aladdin that sur
epasses it. 1t is without parallel or prec.
edent; and the national ledger now
shows q balance to our credit, after all
that has been wasted, and squsndsrsd,
and expended, and Lost, and thrown
away, Of between 60 and 70 billion dol
lars. I believe, myself, that upon fair
cash market valuation the aggregate
wealth OF this country to-day is not less
than 100 billions OF dollars. This is
enough, Mr.. President, to make every
man and every woman and every child
beneath the flag comfortable, to keep the
wolf away from the door; it is enough to
give to every family competence. And
yet we are told that there are thousands
Oc pc ople who never have enough to eat
In any one day in the year. We are told
By the stRtistiCians Of the department Of
labor Of the United States that, notwith-
GtAn ding this stupsndous aggregation,
there are l million American citizens,
able bo died and willing to work, who
tramp the streets of our cities and the
country highways and bywsys in search
Of labor with which TO buy their daily
bread in vain.
Mr. President, is it any wonder that
this condition Of things can exist with
out exciting profound apprehension l
heard, or saw, rather, for l did not hear
i'll saw in the morning papers that in
his speech yesterday the senator from
Ohio [Mr. Sherman] devoted q consider
able part Of his remarks to the defense
Of millionaires, that be declared that
they were the Rroth of the beer Of our
political system.
Mr.. Sherman said speOulRtorB.
Mr.. neutrality-suspicious.? They are
very nearly the same, for the million
aires Of this country, Mr.. President, are
not the producers and the laboEers. They
ars aErayed like Solomon In all his glory
bat "they toll not, neither do they spin"
yes, they do spin. This class, Mr..
President, / am glad to say Is not con-
fned to this country alone. These
gigantic accumulstions have not been
tho result OF industry and economy.
There would be no protest against them
II they were.
The people are beginning to inquire
whether, under q government OF the
people, by the people and for the peO-

put upon my VOjr dire, should hesitate
before admitting that, in the sense Of
giving just compensation and equiva-
lent, any man in this country or any
other country ever absolutely earned q
million dollars. I do not believe he ever
did. What is the condition to-day, Mr.,
President, by the statistics? repeat
that the people are mot anarchists; they
are not socialists; they are not commu.
nists; but they have suddenly walked to
the conception Of the fact that the bulk
Of the peopsrty Of this country is pass

from Ohio, by a euphemism, calls the
''spsculators" of the world.

LABOR AND CAPITAL,
Labor and capital should not be an
tsgonists, but allies rather. They should
not be opponents and enemies, but col
leagues and Ruxiliaries, whose cooper
sting rivalry is essential to national
prosperity. But l cannot forbear to
affirm that q political system under
which such despotic power can be
wreStsd from the people and vested in
the few is q democracy only in name. A
financial system under which more than
one half Of the enormous wealth Of the
country, derived from the bounty Of
nature and the labor Of all, is owned by
a little more than 10000 people, while
l million American citizens, able and
willing to toll, are homeless tramps,
starving for bread, requires adjustment.

sire peace and rest. They are turning

PEACEFUL REVOLUTIONS.

evitsble result. In a speech delivered
in this chamber, on the 18th Of FebruPy,
1878, from the seat that is now adorned
by my honorable friend from Texas,
who sits before me Mr.. Resganl I said:
ave cannot disguise the truth that
we are on the verge of an impending
revolution. The old issues are dead.
The people are srraying themselves on
one side or the other Of a portentous
contest. On one side is capital, formi-
dsbly entrenched in privilege, arrogant
from continued triumph, conservative,
tenacious Of old theories, demanding
new concessions, enriched by domestic
levy and foreign commerce, and sErug-
Cling to adjust all values to it's own
standard. On the other side is labor
asking for employment, striving to de-
velop domestic industries, battling with
the forces or nature, and subduing the
wilderness; labor, starving and sullen,
resolutely determined to overthrow Q
system under which the rich are grow
ing richer and the poor are growing
poorer; a system which gives to q Van
derbilt the possession Of wealth beyond
the dreams Of RVRrlce, and condemns the
poor to poverty which has no refuge
from starvation but the prison or the
grave, Our demands for relief, for jus
tice, have been met with indifference or
disdRin. The laborsrs OF the country
asking for employment are treated like
impudent mendiCants begging for
bread"
Mr.. Presi dent, it may be cause, it may
be coin Ciden ce, it may be effect, it may
be post hoe or it msy be prOpter hoe, but
it is historically true that this great
blight that has fallen upon our indus
tries, this paralysis that has overtsken
our financial system, coincided in point
of time with the diminution Of the
circulating medium Of the country.
The public debt was declared payable
in coin, and the power of silver was de-
stroyed. The value Of property dimin-

value Of everything was deprecated OK.
cept debts and gold. The mortgage, the
bond, the coupon and the tax have re-
tanned immortal youth and vigor. They
have not depreciRts d. The debt re-
mains, but the capacity to pay has been
destroyed. The acc cumulation Of years
disappears under the hammer Of the
sheriff, and the debtor is homeless,
while the creditor obtains the security
for his debt for q fraction Of what it
was actually worth when the debt was
contracted.
There is, Mr.. President, q deep seated
conviction among the people, which 1
fully share, that the demonstration Of
SILVER in 1873 was one element Of great
conspiracy to deliver the fiscal system OF
this country over to those by whom it
has, in my opinion, finally been cap
