We take off our hat to Governor
Pattison Of Pennsylvania. lie is
made Of the right kind Of metal
and Will not be fooled with any
longer by the riotous Huns and
Italians and other strikers in the
coke regions. The other day he
ordered out two regiments of troops
to the scene OF the worst disturb
anco and gave orders as follows
"The officer COMMANDING the
troops shall notify the rioters that
they shall be fired upon unless thcv
promptly dispense. Should thew
not disperse the order to fire shall
be deliberately given, and every
soldier shall be expected TO fire with
effect, and the firing shall be con e.
tiuued until the mob disperses. D."
That's business, and the medi-
cine that everyone Of them deserves
These strikers and rioters are lust
as much guilty Of rebellion as the
South during the late war, and de-
serve to be treated accordingly. We
are getting tired of so much fool
ishness aud nobody getting hurt.

PRESIDENT CARNOP ASSASSIN.
ATED.

assAsslnAted in the streets Of Lyons
Sunday evening, June 2lth, by an
Italian Anarchist named Cesaer
Giovanni Sapto. The President
was driving to the Palais de Com
merce where banquet was to be
given in his honor and was accom-
panied by several prominent Of
icials. An enthusiastic crowd of
people were loudly cheering. when
u man rushed out of the crowd and
mp to the Garage aud grasped the
right hand Of the President and be-
fore anyone knew what was going
on, the assassin plunged a Spanish
dagger into the breast of the Pres
ideut near his heart. The police
at once arrested the murderer and
got him to prison with great diff.
Guilty, as the people were determined
to lynch him, and should have been
allowed to tear him TO pieces right
there. 1t would have been
healthy example to other would.be-
assassins, who arc getting entirely
too numerous. In spite of every

The murderer Of President Car

The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1894-09-01

The best defense of the general
policy of the Wilson bill is in its
own figures. There is not the SEM
blance of free trade in it except in
free raw materials, all of which are
furnished free to manufacturers in
every protection country of the
world except our own. We do not
fully reach the point of free raw ma
terials, as iron ore and coal remain
subject to modified taxes, but we
have made great stride toward the
relief Of our industries by removing
the onerous taxes from the materials
which enter largely into the cost of
their product.
One of the best illustrations of
the new tariff will be found in the
wooden and carpet schedules. Wool
will now be free with greatly cheap
ened chemicals and dyestuffs, and
the tariff on manufactured woolens
and carpets ranges from thirty to fiji
ty per cent. If any manufacturer
shall demand greater taxes npon the
people than forty per cert with free
free raw materials, he must be shriv-
eled up in greed II would have
been regarded as high protection by
the manufacturers before the war
when they needed protection vastly
more than they do now.

put an end to his subscription.
Later in the day he met the editor
and said; "Mr. Greeley, I've stopped
your paper" "Have your queried
Horace, adding, "Well, that's too
bad;" and the old white hat went
its way. The next morning Greeley
encountered his former subscriber
again and accosted him with, 81

must be some mistake" replied
Horace, "for | just came from the Of

going on the same as yesterday aud

"Pshawp retorted Greeley, cit

not be deserving of respect if it
could be coerced by the threat of the
loss of one subscriber, or a hundred

country, and the man who does not
give freedom of opinion to others
does not deserve it himself. Good

The late trouble between Geo. NJ.
Pullman and his employees has
brought out the true character of
the man. A few years ago his gen
erosity for building town was her
aided from one end Of the country to
the other. But in this generosity
matters he evidently had an eye to
business and he has been able to
reap his tens of thousands in profits
by building his town.
He made enough out of it to buy
an Austrian Prince. In referring to
this the Republic says:
Miss Pullman's engagement to
Prince Somebody of Austria must
have cost the Duke couple of mil
lions. If her children are to be re-
ceived as legitimate by the Austrian
court, the Duke will put up another
gold reserve to assist Austrian cir
culation.
At Pullman there is distress which
next winter will turn into starva-
tion unless the charity of Chicago
goes to the rescue.
Pullman deserves expulsion from
America. He does not appreciate
his privileges here. He is con-
temptible turnkey in Europe and an
sppre sse. here-vulgar in both. A
man who pays for the legitimacy of
his grandchildren is the sort of man
who would be insensible to the cries
of more honorably born children
nearer by. Debs almost produced
a revalsion of opinion in the Dukes
favor, but the investigation at Pull
man, while they do not whitewash
Debs, make the magnate out worse
than we ever thought he was.
Pullman has assumed a paternal
function toward his employees. He
might give to relieve their distress a
small percentage of what he paid for
his daughters Prince.

The Republican press, speakers,
and party adherents in general when
the question of reforming the
tariff was being discussed took spe-
cial pains. both in season and out of
season, to proclaim to the world that
to that discussion and fear that the
Mckinley law might be superseded
by reform measure was attribute
BILE the depression in trade. Now,
however, that the discussion is over,

ing prosperity they turn about and
say that "The country owes no
thanks to the Democratic party for
the fact, already happily visible, of
returning business prosperity almost
Immediately following the settlement
Of the tariff wrangle."
But the dodge will not work. The
people have not forgotten the howl
ing of the calamity croakers and
their conclusions will be made ac-
cordingly. In other words they
charged the depression to the tariff
agitation and now that the agitation
is ended by the enactment of a re-
form measure and a general revival
under it's impulse has been started
they must give the reform principle
credit for the revival

Only Think.

If the people of the country would
do their own thinking, they would
not so often be led astray. The howl
was raised by certain men, and jour
nails, who are supposed to be leaders
of thought, that the Senate tariff
bill was protection measure, little
better than the Mckinley law. The
masses of the Democratic party took
up the cry, accepted it as so because
it had come from certain quarters.
Republicans have encouraged the
dissatisfaction, in order to promote,
as far as possible, dissension in the
opposite party. But had Democrats
given the bill careful study before
pronouncing judgment, their dictum
would certainly have been different.
Here are only a few instances of the
great difference made in the tariff
law by the new bill.
On 166 items in the Mckinley
bill the tax has been entirely re-
moved. On $40 it has been reduced
from 25 to so per cent, and on 23S
items the reduction has been 90 per
cent; sugar which is free under the
Mckinley bill will bring in a reve
nue. of $30,000,000; and yet the re-
duction amounts to $40, 300; or,
sugar added, to nearly $50,000,000.
And so on to the end of the chapter.
1t is strange that Democrats will
persist in characterizing as Re-
publican measure bill that so great.
ly reduces taxation, works such
great reforms in our oppressive tar
if laws. AS for the Gazette, it is
perfectly willing to accept the opin-
ion of Americas greatest living
financier, grand old John G. Car
lisle.-"Is is the best tariff law ever
enacted by the American Congress.
