A thin fringe of grass and bushes
which seemed dead for years extended
east and west across our course and ran
back to the mountains, twenty miles
away. There was the bed of Lost river.
Men screamed out instead of cheering as
they urged their horses forward toward
the blessed water which was to quench
their thirst We looked down from the
bank on the winding channel of yellow
dirt, so dry that the puffs of wind raised
little clouds of dust here and there. Not
Il drop of water had run down that chan
mel for weeks. Despair fell upon the
men-silent. hopeless despair-and its eff
muled
On the far bank were few stunted
cottonwoods struggling for life and fur
nishng scarcely any shade. One by one
we followed the officer across and pulled
the saddles from our horses and turned
them loose. The officer issued no orders;
the men had no words for each other.
Each one threw himself down, with the
feeling that the end had come.
1t wasn't sleep. but that dim conscious
ness one has just before chloroform be-
nulrbs his senses. We knew when one
self into camp and fell among us with q
groan. We knew when the sun went
down. We felt the cool night wind off
the mountains, but if anyone moved it
was only to turn over. Night fell, and
the canopy of heaven was studded with
stars. Nine o'clock, 10, II, midnight,
found us still lying there. Then came
curious sound-a sound like a gale ad-
vancing upon a ship over calm sea.
1t grew louder and louder. and with it
We're mingled the neighing and galloping
of our horses. Men who had fallen down
to die sprang to their feet to behold a
wonderful spectacle. From bank to bank
Lost river was full Of rushing, foaming
water sent down by cloudburst in the
mountains miles away.
Water! water!'' shouted dozen hus-
ky voices in chorus, and next moment
there was Il mad rush. Men and horses
rushed into the flood, to be swept down
and drowned together. A quarter Of an
hour after that rush there were only
eleven of us to answer to our names. and
only half a dozen horses were nibbling
at the parched grass around us. Back on
the trail We're three or four corpses in
uniform. The rest of the troops We're
victims of the food which rolled past US.

Southern Democratic followers and their
degenerate Northern allies endeavored in
another way to retain their political
power. They successfully secured the ac-
QUESTION of Southern territory, vainly
hoping to extend their power by increas-
ing the number of slave states.
Notwithstanding their heroic efforts to
hold their political control of the nation,
they could not contend against the nat
ural increase of the wealth and popula-
ti0n resulting from our protective. policy,
which gathered both from every quarter
Of the globe.
."Analyze the political records and opin-
ions Of the trainers of the present pro-
posed tariff measures and it will be
found that the chief authors of these
measures are those who struggled for
four years in Il bloody civil war to de-
stroy the Union and who engrafted i'll
their Confederate constitution a free
trade clause, hoping thereby to receive
material aid and recognition from their
English allies, whose interests they are
now striving to serve at the expense of
their own country.
The war they wage today is more, de-
structive to property than was their
more honorable. because more open. war

be found. dating from the time when
the country learned that the old slave
party again controlled the government.
tnat tne SnflnkaSe OF property anu aclual
loss to trade and to our workingmen,
now amounts to more than the entire
cost of the Civil War.
Hence their acts today constitute a
more ignobe conspiracy against the wei
fare Of the nation than in 1861. They
may succeed, with the aid of unfaithful
representatives from the North. who
grossly msrepresent the interests of their
constituents when they aid in passing an
act designed to strike a death blow at
| the very life of every home industry.
But those un-American people deceive
| themselves now as much as they have
done in any of their past deeds against
| the national interest if they hope by this
proposed tariff act to advance their po-
litical power, or even the welfare OF their
| own section.
The people of the North will realize. if
they have not already realized, that there
exists no loyalty or love of country in the
heart of any man, North or South who
aids by his vote the crippling or the
destruction of our home industries. and.
as a consequence. the degradation of
labor to the level Of the pauper- paid labor
of Europe.
The South will again suffer for the un-

Some country brides and grooms think

ing has not advanced! We, should soon
produce all we require under favorable

protection to the wool industry this can
be done This is the language and this
the opinion of the Ohio Wool-growers'
association With such legislation, how
ever, as the Wilson bill proposes it cannot
be done, but on the contrary will suuer
entire and complete destruction.
This is what is intended to be done,
and this is what will be done. With all
protection gone and our American wool
10 compete in our own markets with the
600, 900, ,oO0 pounds from Australia, from
the River Platte, from the Cape of Good
Hope, and other like cheap labor coun-
tries. the end is at hand. In those coun-
tries land rental is l cent an acre, herd
ers' wages are 81 per month, and their
wool is transported to this country by
water. From Australia to Boston freight
on wool is about l cent a pound, while
from the far West it is 3 cents pound
by rail. The elements of labor and sub
s1stence 1s:e present the greatest difficulties.
Our Wool-growing people cannot compete
with the unequal and degrading condi-
tions which will confront them with wool
on the free list. They are American citi-
zens, and as such they live and perform
the duties incumbent upon them by their
citizenship and by our American civiliza-
ton. They are not ryots, coolies OF serfs,
upon the coarse provender of animals.
The lowest class Of beings are to he the
competitors of American sheep herders
