A Reliable Source OF revenue FOR Govern
mental Purposes
The Canadian parliament has been
cOnvulsed with the question of prOtec-
tive duties, almost equal to that Of the
national congress of the United States.
Very truly have the friends of prOtec-
tiOn in Canada said: "It should not
be forgotten by our electors of Canada
that when the liberal party ask them
to abandon protection to home indus
tries, they are asking them to do a
thing which the people Of every other
country in the world, with the single
exception of Great Britain, have re-
fused to do"
Sir John Mcdonald is quoted as hav-
ing said, upon a certain occasion:
THE American farmer raises his one
hundred bushels Of barley and starts
for his market and receives one hun
dred dollars. The Canadian farmer
raises his one hundred bushels of bar
ley and starts for the American mar
ket and is met by the government Of
fcer to whom he must pay fifteen dol
lars, before he can put it upon the
market, where he receives his one hun
dred dollars, so that he returns home
with only eighty-tive dollars, having
left the other fifteen dollars with the
American custom house officers" Pro
lection compels Canada to pay
tribute to the United States.
What is said in the foregoing aptly
illustrates the workings and methods
OF protection throughout the world.
The people of the United State are
now beginning to realize the truth OF
this practical method Of raising revc
nue., since the whole country has beer
thrown into panic for nearly two
years by the promised change in the
bill now before congress.

DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN FUNDS.
Facts Brought Out in the Tammany In
vestiGatiOn.

vestieation.
During the considera ton of the tariff
bill in the senate a few weeks ago it
was charged that the sugar trust had
contributed largely to the democratic
campaign fund in 1892. Figures have
recently been furnished by the New
York democratic newspapers, and
authenticated by the Lexow commit
tee. which warrant the statement that
democratic campaign fund has been
usually raised by other methods than
that Of personal contribution. The
following figures are authenticated by
at least five of the leading New York
papers as the sum raised in one year
from the following sources:
From dlsOrderly houses. IS, 10000
From gambling houses. 10000
From merchants and peddlers.... $1,000
From new members Of the police force. 60,000
Making a grand total OF. 0,215 900

AFTER -FOUR LONG YEARS.
Daniels, the Placer County Murderer
Arrested in Colorado.
Sheriff Conroy Procures the Necessary
Requisition Papers and Starts
to Bring Him.

Sheriff Conroy and District Attorney
Chamberlain of Placer, with James Hay
ford, were in the city yesterday and
visited Governor Markham's office to get
requisition papers for the arrest of one
Daniels in Colorado.
Daniels killed man named Robert
Bryant four years ago yesterday at Cisco,
where a crowd of young men had been
engaged in snowballing. He was hit by
SNOWFALL, and made angry by it. en-
gagged in quarrel. Going to his room a
short distance away he procured his pis-
tol, and tie quarrel being renewed on his
return he shot and killed Bryant. He
was arrested and lodged in Jail by Sheriff
Butler, but before his trial came off he
managed to escape, and nothing has since
been heard Of him till a few days ago.
Previous to his arrest he had placed
$3.50 in an Auburn Bank, and when
Sheriff Conroy, who has been on the
lookout for him, learned that fact, he re-
queSted the bank officials to notify him if
anyone laid claim to it. His foresight
was rewarded about two weeks ago,
when the bank received an order to send
| it to Pueblo, Col. Conroy Immediately
| telegraphed and had the mau arrested
who sent the order. While the prisoner
answered the description of Daniels, he
| insisted that he was not he, but his half
brother. A photograph of him was re-
| ceived few days ago, which was submit
| ted by Sheriff Conroy to the old friends
and companions of Daniels. 1t was
promptly identified by them as being
that of Daniels, and Sheriff Conroy having
secured the necessary papers, went East
last night to get him, if Governor Waite
| does not object.
