MR.. BABCoCK's AMENDMENT.

The defeat by one majority of Mr.. Bah
cocks amendment, offered in the Ways
and Means Committee. TO reduce the tariff
on all articles manufactured by the steel
trust, has served to emphasize the swag
which the steel trust enjoys. OF course
there has never been any thought that
SO honest and virtuous a measure could
be even considered by this trust-domina-
ted administration. The steel trust
knows that it is safe and that 1t can
continue to draw its protection bonus as
long as the Republicans remain in pow
or. They continue TO sell their products
liz foreign markets from 25 to 80 per
cent cheaper than they sell to Americana,
an yet with this obvious proof that the
steel trust needs no protection, the Amer
lean people are to continue to be taxed
for the open reason that the Steel Trust
has the power to levy tax for it's own
enrichment without any pretense of ne
cessity Of protection.
4 le 0uIy VI tHS tbtuiVSIdliS hAuoAits
III the House is plain; to emphasize the
issue thus presented and make clear to
the country that protection is no longer
advocated on the theory that our indus
tries need it, but on the naked propo-
sition that the trusts demand it as the
price OF their powerful support. The mi
nority should demand full time 10 debate
the Babcock amendment, and every men,
her OF the minority ought to be encour-
aged 10 speak. presenting in the speeches
all the evidence obtainable showing that
that trusts control tariff legislation for
their individual benefit
The strongest issue today before the
American people would be the earnest
demand for taking the bonus of protection
from all articles made by trusts. coupled
with a continued iteration and, reitera-
ton OF the Republican subserviency to
the trusts as shown by the vote on the
Babcock amendment.
The Democrats won on the tariff in
1892, but threw away the victory by
putting the money question In the fore
front There Is another President in the
tariff in 1904, il the protection enjoyed
BY the trusts is kept to the front.

A SERIOUS WRECK.
Midland Train No. lO3 Has Rear
End Collision With a Freight
on a High Bridge Near
Buena Vista.

Midland train No. lO3, Riley Miller
conductor, was 13 hours late in reaching
this city Sunday. due to a wreck which
occurred at bridge No. I55, just east OF
White Horse tank, on the hill above
Buena Vista.
A west bound freight train was ahead
of the regular passenger train and had
stopped at the tank, mentioned above,
for water. This left the caboose stand
ing on the middle span Of bridge No. 1856
This bridge is SO feet in height. Con-
ductor Beavers of the freight was ahead
where tho engine was taking water, also
his head brakeman, VanDusen. At the
caboose on the middle span of the bridge
was Owen McCarty, the rear brakeman.
he was about to get off the caboose to
60 back and flag the train whom the ac-
cident occurred.
The west bound passenger was round
ing a rocky bluff when Fred Worse, the
engineer, noticed the brakeman just at
tempting to get off the caboose. He
was coming at full gait and struck the
caboose right as 1t stood on this high
bridge. The brakeman had no place
whore he could step off, as the bridge
was narrow, and he was ground to pieces
by the oncoming engine OF tho passen-
ger. At the time of the accident all the
brakes on the freight were set, a. they
we're on descending grade, and this
caused the accident to be more severe
than it might otherwise have been. The
engine plowed through the caboose and
into the third car ahead before 1t was
stopped. The caboose was simply ground
to splinters by the impact.
at is miraculous" say the passengers
on the Midland passenger, that our
train did not go over the high bridge.
The caboose was on the central span and
there was nothing to hold US on that
bridge had our engine jumped the track
at the time Of the impact. A fall Of 63
feet would have killed many. As it was
No one was injured on the passenger and
the brakeman, Owen McCarty, was tho
only person killed."
Whether IL was the slowness of the
brakeman in getting back to flag the
passenger. or some other cause, has not
been determined yet as the cause OF the
accident.
