GOfBtrs SLAYER WAS TO GO FREE.
Henry {. Youtsey Declares that Taylor Prom
ised Protection and Pardon.

Henry E. Youtsey, the man
who admits compolicity in the
plot to assassinate Goebel, now
makes direct accusation of w. S.
Taylor, saying that the man who
claims the governorship promised
to pardon the slayers of William
Goebel.
In a supplementary confession,
Youtsey makes these statements:
"When l saw Taylor in the
Executive Mansion we talked over
the proposed killing of Goebel
At the conclusion of our talk
Taylor said to me:
II have been expecting this
thing to be done for a week past:
why don't they act? Why do they
trouble me about it?''
81 left Taylor to make arrange
ments for the assassination. l
saw DR.. Johnson and told him
that it might not be necessary to
kill Goebel, as some Democrats
had promised to vote for Taylor.
Johnson said they were getting
tired of that thing and he told me
to go to Taylor and say that they
would kill Goebel unless the Gov
ernor said not to.
Il returned to the Executive
Mansion and told Taylor what
Johnson had said. The Governor
replied:
"Youtsey, this is terrible thing
to think Of Murder is horrible to
contemplate "
81 told him that it was up to
him; that his wishes in the matter
would be respected; that if he was
willing to let the men go back
home and sacrifice his office it
should be that way. 1t was then
that he asked me; Do you think
that if | have this done | can keep
my Office as governor"
II told him that | thought he
could. Then he said:
We'll, let them go ahead.
The fellow will be safe enough.
We can send company of soldiers
with him to the mountains and l
can pardon him."
Taylor in a formal statement
denounces Youtsey's confessions
as absolute lies.

NfWlANDS ON the PHILIPPINES.
filipinos as Our Rivals They May Draw Capi-
tai from America

lhC piOopSCt lhdt lllHS llilllOlS
of Filipinos may become danger
Gus rivals of our own in the indus
trial field is a new threat to the
prosperity of our wage earners.
The natives of our newly acquired
archipelago in the far East possess
a high degree of intelligence,
alertness and industrial adapta-
bility. They are quick with their
heads and with their hands, in
such ways resembling the Jap
anese.
OF course, if Japan were annex
ed to this country and put inside
our tariff wall, large part of the
manufactured goods now made in
the United States would soon be
produced over there, while at the
same time the accession of cheap
Japanese labor within our tariff
boundary would create an in
dustrial revolution here. The
same danger, in less degree per
haps, is to be apprehended from
an annexation of the Philippines,
unless the revolutionary doctrine
is sustained that the Constitution
does not apply to the entire do
main of the republic, but merely
to the States composing the Union,
Following the annexation of the
Philippines will come great in
fux into those islands of Ameri-
can capital, which will be employ
ed partly in the production of
sugar and tobacco, effecting in
some degree our interests in the
raising of those staples, but partly
also in manufacturing industries.
At first such industries will be in
tended only to supply local de-
mand in the archipelago only, but
as the aptitude of the natives for
pursuits of this kind is developed
and the advantages of cheap la
Dor are realized, the business OF
manufacturing for export to the
United States will begin to grow.
Once started it may advance with
giant strides, trans-pacitic freight
rates being so low as to offer little
hinderance.
Thus it appears, that while un-
der the conditions suggested, the
sugar and tobacco of the Philip
pines will compete with our own
in our own market, we shall have
no compensating opportunity for
the sale of our products in the
archipelago. Probably, instead of
buying our manufactures, the Fill
ippinos will ship theirs to us, the
balance of trade turning largely
against us. Such prospect is far
from pleasant, and we ought to
consider it with all seriousness as
bearing upon the wisdom of the
policy of ABSORPTION, which is now
so widely advocated. From our
viewpoint to-day we can hardly
measure the possible extent OF
this industrial competition or pre-
scribe its limits.
Another point to be considered
is that the Filipinos will have ac-
cess to the United States. 1t has
been argued that being accustomed
to tropical climate they will not
want to come here; but | imagine
that in this regard they will yield
to the persuasion of speculative
American capital, just as the Chi
nese did prior to the exclusion
act. when their labor was sought

Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1900-04-21

American labor is now on stills,
one might say, as compared with
the rest of the world. 1t has been
able to maintain itself at its pres
ent elevation by the aid of laws
restraining the importation of the
products of cheap foreign labor
and preventing the wholesale mi
grafton of cheap foreign labor to
this country from abroad. 1t is
easy to imagine what will be the
effect of putting inside of out gov
ernment and industrial system
nine millions of people possessing
a high degree of industrial apti-
tude and accustomed to a scale of
wages and mode of living appro-
pirate to the Asiatics. Is it put
ting the matter too strongly to sug-
gest the likelihood of an industrial
revolution as a result of so peril
Gus an experiment.!
We may suppose that at first
the natives of the archipelago
taken inside our tariff wall would
turn to the production of cotton
goods and possibly silk fabrics.
but the quickness of their heads
and hands would soon enable
them to adapt themselves to almost
any kind of manufacturing. 1t is
likely, too, that after while they
would become dangerous COM
petitors of ours in the growing of
cotton, inasmuch as the islands
are we'll suited in respect to both
soil and climate for the production
of that staple. For reasons of her
own, Spain made it part of her
policy to discourage cotton grow
ing in the Philippines; otherwise
it is probable that this industry
would already be fourlshing in
the archipelago. In our own
Southern States at the present
time an expectation is INDUCED
that the Filipinos will open a
market for American cotton, but
my belief is that this hope will
never be realized 1t is much
more likely that they will become
rivals or ours in the business of
cotton growing.
The problem is a very serious
one, and before arriving at de-
cision we ought to realize the fact
that the permanent acquisition OF
the Philippines as a part of the
American Empire means that the
islands must be governed in ac-
cordance with the provisions of
the Constitution, which will Sc
cure uniform tariff laws and free
dom of emigration all over our
territory, the natives of that dis
tant archipelago being placed on
the same footing with ourselves,
The action of the Democratic
State Central Committee at its
meeting Saturday was favorable to
fusion with the Silver Party. The
path now seems clear for the Demo
Gratis and Silver Party joining
forces this Fall in the support of
one electoral and State ticket. If
this is done the Republicans will
be overwhelmingly defeated and
the! State in which the Silver move
ment originated in 1892 will be
spared the disgrace consequent
upon a victory for Mckinley and
the gold standard But the fight
is not yet won. There is an ele-
ment in both the Democratic and
Silver Parties which will endeavor
to defeat fusion when the conven-
tons meet. The real battle will

Cardinal Will Ask Aid.

Cardinal Gibbons has issued an or
der that a special collection be taken
in all the Catholic churches in the
Archdiocese of Baltimore Sunday,
October 7, for the benefit of the Gal
weston sufferers.
The Cardinal has directed Rev.
Joseph T. O'Brien, chancellor of the
Cathedral, to prepare circular letter
and have a copy sent to the pastor of
each church, with the request that it
be read to the congregation at high
mass next Sunday. In substance it
will tell of the terrible calamity that
the Texas city met with and close
with strong appeal for liberal con-
tributions. Copies of the letter will
be mailed to the pastors in time to
reach them before Sunday. After the
collection has been taken all the
money will be delivered to the Car
dinal as early as possible.

A correspondent of the Baltimore
San writing from Deer Park under
date of Tuesday last says:
Mr.. James Swan Frick, of Balti-
more, has determined to remain I'M
til the end of October, and Mr.. and
Mrs. John w. Williams will not leave
for their Philadelphia home until
about the middle of October. Both
families have entertained handsome
ly this summer. The Frick cottage
is beautifully located in proximity to
the Garrett cottages. The Williams
estate, consisting of 175 acres, beauti-
fully laid out and improved, is in
another section, being more to the
northwest of the village of Deer Park.
Both sites are unsurpassed Still
further out, and really connected
with the Williams property, is the
summer home of DIR. and Mrs. John
X. Mitchell. DR.. Mitchell is the son
of DR.. s. Weir Mitchell, of Philadel-
phia. From the lawn in front of the
Mitchell cottage a glorious view of
the country far beyond Oakland, the
county seat, is had. DR.. and Mrs.
Mitchell have also entertained a
large circle of friends during the
summer.

Funeral of the Late John p. Jones.


We mentioned in our last issue the
sudden death of Mr.. John P. Jones,
of Terra Alta, which occurred at his
home in that place on last Thursday
morning about o'clock. The cause
of Mr.. Jones' demise was appoplexy,
death coming without a moments
warning.
He was born in Wales on June 21st,
1882, coming to this country and set
Ting at Pittsburg in 1889 with his
parents. He became a resident of
Terra Alta in 1868 and Immediately
became identified with the interests
of his adopted State. In 1870 he was
elected to the House of Delegates of
West Virginia and reelected in 1872.
In 1876 Mr.. Jones was elected State
Senator, serving for one term. He
was an uncompromising Republican
and an intelligent, comprehensive and
painstaking business man.
His funeral took place on Saturday
afternoon last at 9 o'clock from the
Presbyterian church at Terra Alta
and was attended by a great con-
course of people from nearly every
section of West Virginia and numer-
Gus persons from Maryland and Penn
sylvania.
He leayes four children, they being
Mr.. Scott T. Jones, of Oakland; DIR.
Hattie B. Jones, of Wheeling; Mrs.
William 7. White, of Terra Alta, and
Mrs. Rinard, of Indiana.
Mr.. Jones was a lifelong member
of the Presbyterian church and led a
christian life throughout.

Thursday Night.

Addressed a Large Audience on
Thursday Night.
The Republican mass In Getting
which was held in Oakland on last
Thursday night was the initial meet
ing of the campaign to be held in this
county and if the example is followed
as to numbers present and the enthu-
siasm displayed the meetings to be
held during this week at different
towns in the counsy will wake up the
natives and give our friends the en-
envy something to think about.
The meeting in Oakland was called
to order by Capt. James A. Hayden,
who introduced the first speaker,
Congressman Bynum, Gold Demo
crat, who served in Congress until a
few years ago when he was replaced
by Republican. Mr.. Bynum gave
his reasons for leaving the Democrat
ic party and every argument ad-
vanced by him was backed up by
facts and proven beyond doubt. To
the minds of all who were not infu-
enced by party prejudice he made a
deep impression. He spoke for nearly
two hours and during all that time
he was listened to with deep interest,
The money question was made plain;
expansion and imperialism as adj
vanced by the Bryan Democracy was
exposed as only cover for the 16-to-1
issue and the hypocrisy of the expo
nents of Bryan and all that Bryan
represents was ridiculed with such
telling effect that some of the hide
bound Democrats squirmed.
Col. Pearre followed Mr.. Bynum.
The hour being quite late he spoke
for but few moments. In his speech
he paid a glowing tribute to McKin-
ley and the Republican administra-
ton, comparing the good times now
existing with the hard times of few
years ago under the Democrats.
Both speakers were roundly ap-
plauded and the enthusiasm manifes-
ted was as great as during any meet
ing ever held in Oakland.
The opera house had been beauti-
fully decorated with potted palms,
flowers, etc., the work of the Misses
Michael, to whom Col. Pearre ten
dered his personal thanks.
Another meeting will be held in
Oakland the night before the cleo
ton.

Mrs. HAMMOND Leaves.

Last week in the Circuit Court
here with His Honor Judge Boyd on
the bench a novel sight was wit
messed. Mrs. M. j. Raymond, of
Mountain Lake Park, was before the
court on the charge of criminally
libelling L. A. Rudisill, of the Park, in
circular which she had printed and
distributed. The circular contained
many scirrulous things among them
a charge that Mr.. Rudisill had stolen
cross ties from John l.. Ours and
numerous other crimes. The case
was called and Mrs. Raymond appear
ing conducted her own case, saying
before the case was called that she
would not employ an Oakland attor-
ney. She made the opening state
ment to the jury, conducted the ex-
animation of the witnesses, of whom
there were great number, and at
the close of the trial she addressed
the jury for an hour. The patience
Raymond at times taking up matters
which in no wise related to the case
in hand and was at length told by
Judge Boyd that unless she followed
out the rule laid down by the court
in the pleading of cases she would
have to take her seat. The case oc-
cupied the attention of the court for
the greater portion of two days. The
testimony reproduced wholly failed to
sustain the charges against Mr.. Rudi-
sill as set out in the circular and the
jury very promptly brought in ver-
dict of guilty. Judge Boyd released
Mrs. Raymond on a bond of $500 for
her appearance in court on Thursday
morning to receive sentence but be-
fore that time had arrived she had
flown to pastures new, presumably
Chicago, where she has some friends.
Her bond was forfeited as a result

go by we give the following, showing
the present pay of each route: Acct
dent to Oakland, $500; Sines to Oak
land, 800; Sang Run to Friendsville,
$500; Beckman to Swanton, 500; Crel-
lin to Hutton, $13S; Mineral Spring to

of letting. Blank bids and informa-
ton can be obtained from postmas-
tiers at either end of routes or the
