sudden and great wealth, for whic, the

sudden and great wealth, for which the
tariff furnished temporary opportunity.
The proof that hgh tariff has been levied
on foreign productions primarily, 1t not en-
pressly and solely in thu interest OF the
few and not the wage-worker, is clearly es-
tablished by the fact that it applies only to
imported products and not to imported
labor. Had it been otherwise the same
rule of robbery that has fastened Itself
upon foreign goods would have been ap-
piled to imported men. Consistency re-
quires that the government that eaacts
Mckinley laws should establish an inquisi-
ton at every port of entry and appoint
officers to compel every foreign laborer
that lands on American soil to pay a
"license" fee ranging anywhere from 500
upwards, according 20 trade and skill.
OF course, "gentlemen" tramp5, COM
mercial gamblers and miliionaires might,
like works of art" be exempt.
I admit that all this would be monstrous,
inhuman and absurd-a burlesque on
Democratic pretense-yet l insist that it
would gem the brow of protection with the
jewel of consistency and save it from being
the one-sided and deformed monster that
it now is. We reap what we SOW.
We have sown in tariff, which stimulates
production into unnatural proportion and
quantity, through which a few men have
''boomed' themselves into control and So
called Ownership OF millions, accom-
panied by the irresponsible power to die
tate to the wage-slave, who is constantly in
fear of losing his job and joining the in
evtabe chain gang that awaits every
stripped and plun1ered victim of the
thieves that infest Mammon's road to
Jericho.
II the creation of the national banking
infamy and the infiction of the Mckinley
system of robbery were the only sins of
the Republican party, those two crimes
alone would be sufficient to mako its name
stencil that all the moral disinfectants OF
lime Will be powerless to remove. Inc
Republican leaders have always found the
tariff to be a most potent "intluence" to
fool and force voters into their ranks by
telling them that their bread and butter
depended upon their ballot. Mr.. Have
meyer recently by the grace of God and a
foreign potenta.e made Baron Have
meyer'-will serve as an illustration.
During the Garfield campaign an enthu-
siastic New York Republican said to me
one day: Clarified is sure to win because
even prominent Democrats are in favor of
him. Why, only few days ago Have
meyer. the great sugar rehner, called his
men together and said: boys, you know
/ am Democrat, and that / never try to
influence you in your voting. But l will
say to you frankly that it the Democratic
party elects their candidate ] shall be
obliged to close the works.
"Ihe result" added my friend, Twas
that the men assembled that very evening
and formed Garfield club, which every
one of them joined. And that is the way
our lisping and toddling ''infant indus
tres'' are built up into giant trusts that
control and corrupt the men we elect to
serve the people.

whatever he does he does with a perfection

TO THE EDITOR
Drunk on "Protcction"

EDITOR HERALD: 1t looks now as though
the 'intelligent American voter"-after
jumping from the Republican frying pan
into the Democratic fire-is about to return
to the frying pan, where he must continue
to fry until finally satisfied that the G. O. p.
is an organized huirbug and evasion.
McKinleyism seems to be the impending
dispensation of a 'frowning Providence"
which, let us trust, ''hdes smiling face"
In the discussion of protective tariff there
are two underlying principles which are
apparently ignored.
First, tariff involves robbery. The right
OF exchange, no matter whether exercised
by individuals or nations, or whether the
factors involved are in each case common
articles OF merchandise or goods on the one
hand and money on the other, is an inher-
ent right and therefore an intrnsically law
full one. Hence. the individual or nation
that disputes and forcibly invades that
right is IA moral criminal and robber. No
amount of political sophistry and argu-
mentative subterfIge can annuI Or alter
this proposition, and this is why it is inn
possible to convince an honest, clear
headed man that smuggling, SO called, is,
in any vital sense, moral wrong.
Consequently all state or legal enact
ments framed to violate the rights of free
trade are SO many excuses for theft and
robbery.
Second, protection, as commonly under
pod and applied. is unnatural and undue
6, ,ulation, and though frequently resort.
ed y for the benefit and on the pretext of
adiLsting and balancing production and
distribution, invariably tends to the injury
of the whole industrial system, and espe-
cialy the party it is ostensbly designed to
'protect," because destructive to social
rights and general equilibrium.
Undue stimulation, in any realm, is inev-
itably followed by depression.
=, we cannot escape this result any more
than a horse can escape being unna:urally
tired after being spurred and scourged to
unnatural speed and effort, or any more
tlan drinking man can, after several
DAYS debalIcl, escape languor, headache
and prostration. In this country high tariff
mas induced over-production and competi-
tive ruin by stimulating human greed for
gain. Men have rushed into manufacture
ing enterprises for the sake of acquiring

of yellow satin ribbon was confined a
cluster of ionquills. Inside the card
was a verse hitting off some characteristic
of the guests. Smilax and escholtzia were
scattered profusely over the buffet. Tho

as the delicious menu was enjoyed strains
Of music could be heard from string or

EQUALLY HAPPY IN BOTH
Sousa, the Famous Bandmaster, and Some Of
His Charac ieristics

Perhaps the greatest charm of the Sousa
concerts is the rare variety of selections
and musical effects which characterize
them. Some leaders are distinguished for
their classical works, others for their popu-
lar music. Sousa seems equally at home
in both, and either in his programs or his
encores he alternates "from grave to gay,
from lively to severe" and in a manner
that never permits interest to pail for a
moment. He recognizes as few leaders
besides Gilmore have, the virtue of variety,
and does not consider it inconsistent with
character as musical caterer to follow up
the heavy courses of harmony with light

ANOTHER CONTINUANCE GRANTED


In Justice Morrisons department of
the police court yesterday afternoon
the examination of c. G. Compton was
called, but once again continued. Comp
ton was present with his attorney and
ready to go on. but an affidavit was
presented by Detective J. G. Goodman
stating that very material witness for
the prosecution, Henry L. Wenzel, had
as yet been unable to be procured, but
if a continuance was granted he could
and would be produced within few
days. Taking the facts into considera-
ton, the justice postponed the hearing
until Monday next al 8 p. m.
Wenzel, the missing witness, is the
man from whom Compton claims to
have procured the alleged forged and
fraudulent check for s275 which he is
accused of having in his possession on
January II last. Wenzel is now under
arrest in Prescott. Ariz., and extradition
papers for him have already been for
Warded to the Arizona officials. AS soon
as a telegram is received stating that
the authorities here can have him Good
man will start for the prisoner. Upon
WenZel'S testimony will depend the fate
of the charge against Compton.
Attorney Munday declared himself as
out of patience with the repeated con-
tinuances, but Goodman stated that
the affidavit was made in good faith and
that he would surely produce his wit
ness within few days.

INDISCREHT POLICE OFFICER
Persists in Addressing q Lady, but lie Made
1istake

Mrs Michael, who gives her address
as 5lI Broadway, relates an experience
that reflects but little credit upon the
police officer who wears star numbered
1874. According to the ladys story she
had attended last evening a meeting,
after which, at the corner of Fourth
and Spring streets, she was accosted by
policeman, star number 134, who said:
Hello! How are you?"
The lady looked with surprise into the
face of the officer, turned, and walked
towards Fifth street. The officer follow
ed and repeated his remarks with varia-
lions, all with the evident desire of max
ing an acquaintance.
a half block was so traversed, when
Mrs. Michael stopped and resented the
continued insults, when the uniformed
scoundrel said: "Oh, come Off! / know
you. You are street walker" With
that the lady started for the police sta
ton in order to report him.
Seeing at last that he had made a
serious mistake the fly cop apologized,
but this did not make amends to the
woman who had borne his damaging
sallies, and she proceeded, followed by
the officer, to the station, where she
told her experiences.
There she was advised to let the mat
ter drop, accepting the officers apology,
and she was asked to not let the papers
get hold of the story. Possibly, with
sincere evidences of regret, this might
have been done, but the lady announces
her determination to place the matter
before the police commissioners at their
meeting on Tuesday next, and thus fore
ing the matter into publicity.
There are two witnesses to at least a
part of the officers conduct and &C.
acknowledgement of having made a mis-
take. The names of the two gentlemen
are not here given. because it is unneces-
sary. but their names and addresses are
known.

der consideration. When, therefore, De
Oca, looking upon Humphreys as
neither legally or morally bound to pay
the notes, but solely concerned in re-
lieving himself from liability from his
warranty against membranes In
deed of grant, entered into the stipula-
ton with him to take the property sub
Ject to the mortgages, which she asSum-
ed and agreed to pay, what was or ought
to have been mutually intended by the
stipulation? Was 1t intended that De
Oca was retaining the amount due on
the notes from the purchase price to the
use of or for the benefit of the plaintiff,
who appeared to be a stranger to
Humphreys, or that she was indemnify
ing Humphreys against any liability be-
cause of his warranty? 1 hold that the
contract to assume and pay the mort
cages, under the circumstances of this
case. does not evidence an intention that
De Oca was to pay the notes to the plain
tiff or do other than hold Humphreys
harmless on his guaranty. No mutual
intention was manifested that De Oca
was to retain portion of the purchase
price for plaintiff, or do other than re-
lieve Humphreys from the liability I'M
der his warranty, because of the proper
ty being subject to the mortgages. The
intention is exactly the same as though
the mortgages had been made without
the notes and to secure an Indebtedness
evidenced in the mortgages alone Under
such circumstances this contract could
not be interpreted as requiring payment
of anything to plaintiff, but to submit
to the subsection of the property to pay
off the mortgages without recourse to
Humphreys.
This reasoning most strongly applies
to Nickery, whose privity was solely
with De Oca. who insists upon con-
struction of the contract favorably to
Vickery. 1t is doubtful whether there
ever was a personal liability on the
notes If not. there would be no personal
liability against any of the defendants,
and PLAINTIFFS sole remedy would be
to subject the property to the discharge
of the mortgages. But inasmuch as
neither Mathews or Humphreys contest
the notes, and have arrived at the con-
illusions with reference to the interpre-
tation of the contracts of DE Oca and
Vickery above expressed. it is not nee
essary to determine that point.
The pleadings herein do not conform
to the evidence on which the facts are
found. and the answer is ordered to be
amended to conform to the proofs.
Plaintiff cannot recover a personal
judgment over either against De Oca
or Nickery. but is entitled to foreclose
his mortgage and obtain a personal
Judgment over against Mathews and
Humphreys.
Let judgment be entered accordingly.
