M,KINLEY's APPEAL.

The people who elected Grover Cleve-
land and the present Congress decided
In favor of tariff reform and tax reduc-
ton.
When Congress set TO work to carry
out their declared will and to give effect
to their verdict against the evil OF Nc
Kinleyism, the Republicans raised an
cutlery against the wickedness OF dr-
turbing the tariff laws and thus upset
ting the business of the country. The
depression of trade, the paralysis OF
commerce, the stoppage of mills, the
scarcity of work and the sufferings of
the laboring classes were all laid to the
charge of tariff agitation, and not to
the unjust law which sought to further
encourage and enrich trusts and monop-
olies at the expense of all other inter
ests.
Now, the policy of the Government on
the tariff question has been radically
changed in conformity with the peoples
wishes. In place of high protection for
favored interests, we have an equitable
adjustment of duties for the equal pro-
lection OF all. The measure of reform Is
not as full as could have been desired,
Out IL Is enough 10 eIHdHClpdte idpol' "
equalize taxa alton, to relieve the poor nj
unjust burdens, and to force into assess
ment the wealth of rich tax-dodgers.
And now comes Mckinley, the parti-
san OF trusts, corporations and monopo-
lies; the oppressor of labor for the bene-
1T of favored capital: the champion OF
taxation for che poor and exemption for
the rich, with an appeal to the people
for what?
For renewed tariff agitation. For a
disturbance of all that has been settled
For another change of policy that will
again plunge the country into agitation
and uncertainty.
Elect me and my friends, cries Nc
Kinley, upset the popular will, cas-
aside the new tariff policy, and go back
70 high protection for trusts, corpora
lions and all wealthy monopolies tim
will make large donations to Republican
political campaigns and reward the G
o. P. for favors showered upon them.
Tariff agitation for the benefit of tn,
people is a crime. Tariff agitation FOL
the benefit of favored interests IL a vir

Labor and Competition.

To the Editor:
The proposal to restrict immigration, advocated
by Messrs. Brown. Allen, Desbrow and others. 10
nonsensical. Apart from the fact that the great-
est competition the workingman is subject to ID
from the baby in the cradle-in other words. nat-
ural increase OF popuaton-nineteenth century
civilization Is travelling in the direction OF freer
conditions for labor and commerce. Restrictions
must be thrown on Instead OF shutting out the
foreign laborer. let US open markets free to
the world. and the foreigner will get better paid
and have enough to do abroad without crowding
our labor here. Our vast natural wealth Is the
common heritage OF mankind. not merely OF the
few who have succeeded In grabbing and now
monopolizng 1t. and any attempt to shut out
mankind will inevitably react dsastrously on our
selves. workingmen who desire to benefit them-
selves. and incidentally their less fortunate BROTH
abroad, will set themselves resolutely to op-
pose tnkering legislation OF the j. s. Brown type

A WOMAN IN THE CASE7
winsor Had $500 Worth of Jew.
eIry in the Aston House Safe.

The mystery as to the cause OF the
suicide of William T. Winsor, who shot
himself in the Aston House last Satur-
day, was partly cleared up by the exam
nation of the tin box the deceased had
in the Aston House safe at the time OF
his death.
1t was intimated by the absent minded
remarks of certain friends of the de-
ceased that there was woman in the
case.
In the tin box referred to there was
found to-day at least $500 worth of
iewelry. 1t consisted of gold watches,
diamond rings, breastpins. a diamond
brooch, star-shaped, with twenty-five
brilliants; engagement rings and gold
box in the shape Of a heart, inlaid with
diamonds and bearing monogram
There were several gold chains, sleeve
links. collar buttons studded with dia-
mohds, and pawn ticket for gold
watch. The ticket was dated Sept. 6.
the day after Winsor arrived at the
Aston House.
There were also some letters, but
the friends of the deceased who took
charge of the property refused to tell.
The property was turned over to Rich
ard h. Weisner and N. Fischer who
were among those on the list of friends
the deceased left In the bedroom where
he killed himself
The letters may throw some light on
the matter, but the probability is that
they will never be made public.

The death of the Count OF Paris af-
fords good illustration OF the firm
foundation Republican institutions have
obtained in France, and the little proba-
billty of a return to a monarchical form
of government. A few years ago the
event would have caused quite com
motion throughout the country. To-day
II has no political Importance whatever,
and. except among the family and few
friendly enthusiasts, II probably excites
more feeling In the United States than
In France. The principal thought 1t
suggests is that another masquerading
Royalist is removed from the path OF
the Republic. Individually, the Count
was a man TO be admired and beloved.
As a Divine Right" pretender to &

and his death is an advantage to Re.

Invoices OF goods are being taken out OF the
