Wholesale Decapitation Of Railroad
Enginecrs and Flremen.

A. the last smoke Of the recent rail-
road strike dies away another omi-
nous cloud appears In the horizon
which may yet break with scarce less
fury than did the troub bles of last July,
involving the State. possibly the
country, In another labor war.
Since Saturday the Missouri Pacific

firemen and six engineers at this end
Of the line and eight or ten firemen 1T
Van Buren, on the charge Of being
implicated In the strike or expressing
sympathy with II. There are said "a
be twenty-five more names on the list
Of men who will be decapitated soon
Tho names OF al the men could moi
be ascertained, but among them are
John Cuneo, John Ross and Jim Horn,
engineers, and Frank Wise, Ed. Hen
derson, Jim Riley, John Prinster,
John O'Malley, Anthony and King,
firemen. Some of these men have
been employees of the road for many
years. John Cune0 has been an
engineer for eight years, and John
O'Mslley IL one OF the oldest and best
known firemen on tho road. The
majority Of these men refused 10 70
out in the strike, but had, some Of
them, casually expressed sympathy
with tho strikers, and for this reason
are being decapitated.
The railroad men are very much
exercised over the action Of the COM
pany, and 1t il stated ON good author
fty that the Brotherh0ods Of Loco
motive Firemen and Locomotive
Engineers have issued m ultimatum
to the effect that unless the company
relnstates the mon thus discharged by
September 26, . general strike will be
declared.
An ex-rallroad man told reporter
this afternoon that . list of l25 names
was taken to headquarters ct At.
Louis last Monday, and that al Of
them will bo discharged. Most of
them run on the Fort Smith branch.
Several Little Rock firemen have laid
their grievance before the firemen's
convention. now in session ut Harris
burg, and some action may be taken
upon the matter there.
It has been learned later that five
more firemen were dismissed today
Their names could not be learned at
the time Of going to press.-Little

TAirty Tears Protection.

The Springfield Democrat thus
reviews the history Of high pro-
lection:
Thirty years ago the republican
party asked for high protection.
They got it. Then they wanted
higher protection, and they got
il; aud thus they continued until
the act of 1890 imposed upon the
country the highest protective
tariff ever known. First It was
for the purpose Of protecting
infant industries; then It was for
the benefit of the American labor
ing man; and finally the mask was
thrown on aud it Was for the
benefit Of the manufacturers and
Of capital. More than . quarter
of q century has passed since the
Inauguration of the policy. II it
was . blessing to the poor man
aud TO the country It 10 high time
the fruits began to sppear.
But what do We sect Where
are the happy homes and the
contented laboring mani What
of the high wages aud steady
employment to the mechanicf
Where 10 the ready market for
the produce Of the farmer aud the
advanced price Of his landi
From the Atlantic to the Pacific
and from the lakes to the gulf, in
city, town and country, industry
languishes and hordes of unem-
ployed are to be seen. True the
few who constitute the class for
whose benefit protective legis'a-
ton was enacted have become
multi.milllonaires, but for the
masses almost universal stsgnstion
has reigned, eliminating in the
panic Of the past twelve months.
Aud this constant and continued
depression has gone forward
under the high protective laws
originated and executed by the
republican party. Not until the
democracy, ut the recent session
Of congress, after an unprece-
dented struggle succeeded in par
TALLY reforming the tariff, did .
single ray Of relief appear on the
business horizon. That, and the
passage of the income tax Law. by
which wealth 10 asked to share it's
part Of the burden and not, as
heretofore, impose the whole upon
want, revives hope in the breasts
of the people. Democracy stands
pledged to continue the fight
against this iniquitoas system
until the work began by the loyal
and heroic friends OF the people in
the recent congress shall have
been completed, and the happy
and prosperous days Of democratic
rule restored to the country.

The democratic sugar planters
of Louisiana threaten to bolt and
join the republican party. The
cotton and corn planters have as
good reason to do so. If they
can't raise sugar without taxing
the people to support them let
them try something else. There
would be just as much justice and
good sense in taxing the sugar
planters to support the corn and
cotton planters.-Jackson Dis

The New Tariff Law

These pertinent observations az
to the effects of the new tariff law
are from the Chicago Herald:
Imperfect as the new tariff is
partial and unequal as its reduc.
ti0ns are-its benefits have been
felt already in cheaper goods oi
better quality for the supply Of
every home in the land. The
slight advance in sugar, due to
the tariff for revenue, is made up
in reductions on hundreds OF
articles as important as sugar. II
the sugar for q household costs
more for the year, double the
amount is saved in the cost of =
coat.
A woman on q shopping tour
can buy as much for "a as she
could have bought for $5 at Nc.
Kinley prices, and the grade is as
high. If the price remains the
same the quality is better, finer
goods, improved in appearance
and increased in durability. The
experience of every purchaser
who compares price lists aud
qualities with those of four years
ago is satisfactory evidence of the
reform that has been accom-.
plished.
The retail trade of Chicago and
of every other city is the best
argument in favor oftariff reform.
1t shows the beneficent results
caused by the disenthrallment OF
commerce, by removing it's
shackles and badges of servitude.
Every home and ever individual
experiences sense of relief, that
a burden has fallen of, that life
has greater comforts at less
expense.
The stimulation of Mckinley
prices for goods four years ago
did not bring higher prices for
the labor by which the goods " were
produced. The promise that
better wages should follow higher
prices for manufactures was lie.
In many cases wages were
reduced.
The prophecy that wages would
fall under the new tariff has
proved to be false. Industry il
reviving in all directions and with
greater activity in manufactures
which will come MS taxation
decreases-wages will advance.
A new era ofprosperity is at
hand. With the expansion Of
business to absorb the redundancy
of the currency, everything will be
placed on solid ground. The
prosperity will be permanent.
Further tariff changes, not abrupt
nor extreme, but all in the line Of
reductiOn-to cause harmony of
action in all its movements-wiIl
strengthen the growth of every
industrial aud commercial interest,
intrench public and private credit
in better defenses, tighten the
popular burdens, and promote the
general welfare.
