Pauperism and Free Trade.

The gentlemen who talk SO glibly
about the rich growing richer and the
poor poorer under and because of a
policy of protection to home indus
tries should look at Europe. 1t ia
quite as true that the rich are grow
ing richer in free-trade England as
it is in the United States, and it is
infinitely more true that the poor are
growing poorer. 1t il not true that
the poor are growing poorer in the
United States-except during the
last four years, in which everybody
has been growing poorer. Taking
a ten years average, it il certain
that all classes and conditions Of
men are adding to their possessions
in the United States. Shares in
building associations, deposits in
savings banks, the number ofOwners
of small houses in the cities and of
farms In the country have increased.

The Montana Silver Statue In the Hands Of Q
Receiver.

TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. 9.-Judge
Hazen, of the Shawnee county dis
trict court, was routed out OF bed at
one O'Clock this morning and asked
to appoint a receiver for the cele-
brated silver statue of Ada Rehan,
which is on exhibition in a local
store. The application was made
on behalf of william Bickford and A.
H. Mitchell, of Helena, . Mont, who
claim to have invested $40, 900 in the
company that paid for the statute,
and who also claim the affairs of the
company are in bad shape. Judge
Hazen appointed Samuel Barnum as
receiver.
F. G. Higbee, who brought the
statute to Topeka, promptly sur
rendered the property to the receiver
and left today for Chicago, where he
hopes to adjust the trouble. Mr..
Higbee claims to own a majority oil

general, Carrillo, has received the

correspondent in Havana, confirm

Antonio Maceo, and showing that
he was killed by treachery:
HAVANA, Dec. 9.-Dear Friend :
Our brave general, Antonio Maceo,
and ii greater part of his staff have
been murdered by the Spaniards, the
Spanish major, Cirujeda, acting the
part of assassin, with DIR. Maximo
Zertucha as assistant in the hOrri-

Convinced that, notwithstanding
his enormous army, he could do
nothing against our gallant leader
who had 40 repeatedly defeated the
Spanish generals i'm Pinar del Rio
Weyler conceived the idea of appeas

DIR. Zertucha and the marquis q
Ahumada, he planned with the lat

No DinRiey Bill for Him.

YALE, Mont, Dec. 5th, 1895.
EDITOR ARGUS: Dear Sir.-Notic-
ing your comment i'm last issue of
ARGUS relative to the position of
Mr.. Percy Clark, and others. AZ to
the passage Of the Dingley bill, l
would like to give a brief expression
OF my own views, merely as single
practical wOolgrower.
The Dingley Bill is, in the first
place, Il mere political makeshift, for
revenue purposes only. That more
revenue ia needed l will not for one
moment dispute. But this bill has
neither the marks of the one great
political party, nor the other; and 10
merely a begging of the true ques-
tiOn of protection" vs. tariff for
revenue only with a view Of con-
sorting with Grover the mighty, for
the passage of some measure which
will let him down as easily as may
be, before the country. / do not
know why the Republican party
should wait on him, or again ask
the same congress that once laid
this measure by, to again take 1t up.
The bill, in the second place, Ia more
of a manufacturers bill, than q pro-
ducers measure. 1t il certainly un-
Republican. Viewed in the light of
that promise to the woolgrowers of
the nation, declared in the st. Louis
platform, it is most unbecoming to
the dignity of that party which has
just elected it's choice to the chief
magistracy by the largest majority
and popular vote ever given a presi-
dent. i can readily appreciate Mr..
Clark's position that a part'of q loaf
is better than none at all; that even
one or two cents per pound more
would be very acceptable to- the
wool producers at this time; that
large importations are being pushed
forward, and will be till some change
is made in the present rates Of duties.
i can even understand why manu-
facturers would hasten to favor
this bill.
But / certainly have no more favOrs
to ask in this matter from the pres
ent congress. l believe that after
it's inauguration the Mckinley ad-
ministration should follow the Illus
trious example Of it's predecessor;
call an extra session; take up a
measure becoming the dignity Of its
position, and in a fair degree fulfill
ing its pledges to the masses that
gave it support. The people are not
SO foolish as to be unable to place
the responsibility 1t deserves upon
the present administration and con-
gress. And any other course il ask
ing this congress to further stultify
itself; it is a surrender of it's own
principles; a partial opening Of it's
arms to take in Cleveland, for bis
sound money views, to the embrace
OF a party to which he does not be-
long No! the Republican
party last month because believed
in it's sincerity, and had faith To be-
lieve that when it came into posses
sion OF it's own, it would uphold it's
past record to the American people,
of honesty and sincerity OF purpose.
