IOWA MEN VOTE TO STRIKE.
After Three Trials the "0uittcrs" Obtain
Majority of Ten.

After Three Trials the "Ouittcrs" Obtain
Majority of Ten.
Dies MONIES, Ia, May 1.-THE miners
convention at Abba was one of the largest
ever held in Iowa, delegates representing
nearly 5000 miners being r,,ent The
first vote on strike resulted in a tie-60
to 60 The second vote was against sus-
pension by u majority of votes. The
third vote stood is to IS in favor of quit
ting work. The vote was taken amid
great tension of feeling. Several impas-
stoned pleas were made for the miners of
Iowa to stand firmly by their fellows in
other states. No other important business
was transacted except the appointment of
an executive board, consisting of Moses
Slack, of Des Mones; Samuel Roberts, of
Des Moines; }. :. Reynolds. of Beacon; J.
Il. Clarkson, of Foster, and William Bes-
see, of liitemun.
The miners in this district will meet to-
morrow and action will I've taken to carry
out the decision reached ut Abba. The
DuS Moincs operators expect the miners
to nearly all go out. The strike includes
all laborers about the mines. The Iowa
miners realize that it is purely Il strike of
sympathy, and many of them are really
avrrse to it, AS they are in need of the wages
work having been slack during the win
ter months in many localities.

BLoODSHED AT MOUNTAIN IRON.
a Marshal Shoots IA Striker and the Mob
Cots Lnder WHY.

N MaEhhhi SnbOtS u STRIKER ana tne MOD
Gets Under Way.
DULUTH, Mimi, May 5.-Marshal Al
Free tried to suppress slight disturbance
among some striking miners at Mountain
Iron ast,evening when Mat Matson threat
ened him with Il revolver. Free promptly
shot him twice in the abdomen and he
will probably die. Word of the affair
was sent to the strikers at Virginia and n
mob of /, POO started for Mountain Iron
with the avowed intention of lynChing
Free. Sheriff Sharvey ordered the militia
out and they took charge of Free and re-
moved him from the town.
When the mob at Virginia heard the
news of the shooting it started on foot for
Mountain Iron, wild with rage and thurst-
ing for Marshal Frees blood. Ten min
utes afterward train left with the sheriff
and militia, but the mob had only three
miles to go ard the train seventeen with n
rough track. The train beat the mob by
ten minutes and arrived here at midnight
with Free aboard. Adjutant Muehlbers
called out company II to go to Mountain
Iron and it left ut midnight. The strikers
have cut the telegraph wire and there is
no other communication If further hos
tilites follow.
There is great excitement in Mountain
Iron and bloodshed was feared when the
mob arrived, as the strikers are much in
famed against Free. They were very in
dignant over Frees escape, but up to 8
O'clock had done no further damage.
The mob has retired from Iron Mount
ain and cnmped in the woods half II mile
from town. The .ctzens have been ter
rorized by shooting near the mob's camp
and fear an attack.

An Advanced ProtcctiOnist.

Milwaukee journal
Coxey's notions are crazy ones, to
be sure. but who can say that he did
not come by them legitimately? For
months and years he has been reading
that this or that mans business could
not be conducted without protective
tariff legislation; is 1t strange, then
that Coxcy should get the idea into his
head that he and his kind, too, could
live by legislation?

lose the lifty-fourth congress we go

Handicapped is hardly the word.

In Ohio may well cause our observing
representative to believe that tho re-

than that, they will be blindfolded and

HELD TO THE REAL ISSUE.


WASHINGTON, May 0-Thc three leaders
of the commonweul, Coxey, Browne and
CHRISTOPHER Columbus Jones, have been
found guilty of violating the laws by II
fury of their peers ind will have to sub
nit to II sentence hereafter to be imposed
by the court for their recent dcmonstra-
ton on the Capitol grounds. Thus ends
what it's leaders styled "The greatest
march of the nineteenth century" All
three of the accused were convicted on the
first count of the Indictment which
charged them with displaying banner
designed to bring into public notice the j.
s. CoXcy Good RondS association. Jones'
of philadcl pha, was acquitted of the sec
ond count, which accused them Of tread
ing on the grass, but CoXcy and Browne
were convicted.
The jury retired at 1885 o'clock after
hearing II long charge from Judge Miller,
which left little alternative but to convict
If they followed his headings. For the
judge had no intention that the case
should he decided on the keep off the
grass" issue. He told the jury that the
real issup-the only one before it--was
whether the defendants had sought to col
lect II crowd ON the Capitol grounds in
violation Of law.
When the jury returned to court with
its verdict General" Coxey, his wife, and
his daughter, the Goddess Of Peace, took
sents within the bar, and all the party re-
ccived the result smlingly, except Mr..
Lyman, who was ON his feet with some
objection to the form in which the verdict
was presented, but who was set upon by
his colleagues.
Tho verdict was guilty as to the first
charge - carrying banners upon tho
Capitol grouuds-ngainst all the de.
fcndants and on the second charge
walking ON the grass of the Capitol
grounds-guilty MS to CoXey md Browne,
and not guilty ns to Jones' Attorney Lips
| comb Immediately entered motion for
n now trial aud another III arrest of judg.
ment. Judge Miller gave him four days
to file the formal paper. Then the judge
made inquiries about bnil and Frank
Hume, n well known Wholesale grocer,
who several times has run for the Demo
cratic nomination for congress from the
Virginia district across the Potomac
river, signed bond in $500 Tor each of the
three convicted commonwcalcrs.
Tho penalty provided hy law is the same
for enCh ollen>e, viz: \ fine not to exceed
800 and imprisonment IN jail for not more
than sixty days, or both, within the dis
erection of the court. l'yacurlous congress

Tho Adviser, j. W. Taylor's papc

The Adviser, j. W. TayIor's paper,
says:
ave are so diversified ms u people
in what we produce, and what we
want to buy, that when the endcavor is
made to perfect u tariff system equally
satisfactory to all, ii is found to be
well nigh impossible. :
That is just it. Once you admit
the protective theory to be correct, you
are lost Human wisdom, proceeding
upon this theory, cannot devise tariff
system equally satisfactory to all 1t
would be absurd to undertake the task.
But taking the opposite view of the
matter-that government has no right
to tax one manfor the benefit Of an
other that federal taxation should be
levied solely for thepurposc of raising
revenue for the support of govern
ment, economically administered, the
perfecting of system of tariff tax.
alton then becomes II far easier matter
To the work of eliminating the pro.
tective principle, tariff reformers have
set themselves. This work may not
progress so rapidly as many desire il
to progress but the intelligence, justice
and progressiveness Of the American
people forbid the thought that its nc

Good Advice to Farmers.

Milwaukee Journal
Prof. Henry of the state university
gives good advice too the farmers when
he tells them not to devote to much of
their land to raising potatoes. "Re-
member" he says, that low prices are
sure to prevail occasionally and some
times the crop Is produced at loss"
A very large crop is inevitably accom-
panied by low prices. In diversity of
crops il the farmers hope. Nowhere
except possibly along the extreme
eastern border is the potato farmer in
any degree affected by the tariff, and
then only when by reason of there
being short crop, the only time when
he has u few potatoes to sell, does the
tariff importations come into compe-
tition with him. In such cases he gets
the benefit Of an increase in price. for
what little he has to sell, but the con,
sumers have to pay that increase on
both domestic and imported supply.

II. G. Dun IL Co.'S weekly trade re

II. G. Dun 4 Co.'s weekly trade re-
view of Saturday, May 9th, said:
"A point of encouragement is the
heavy buying Of wool, amounting
to G,492,000 pounds for the week, at
three chief markets, against 4,66l,0OO
pounds last year, and in April sales
were 2l,838,95S pounds, against
l6.998,95O last year. AS these sales
have for years been In steady relation
to the entire consumption Of wool, it
Is fair to infer that In spite of the
stoppage Of some important works,
and in spite Of uncertainties as to leg
islation and labor, consumption will
continue large for some weeks at
least"
