farm properties would find the pro-
ductive value and the market value of
their holdings suddenly decreased by
many millions of dollars.
The cigar manufacturing industry,
which in 1901 employed more than
100000 people, and made and market
ed 5,770, 934,369 cigars, would be vir-
tually wiped out of existence If the
duty on Cuban cigars were reduced 80
per cent.
The beet sugar refining industry,
with many millions of dollars already
invested in refining pants located in
agricultural sections, and many mil
lions more certain to be invested If
protection be maintained, will be ham
pered, crippled or altogether destroyed
in exactly the proportion that the duty
on raw sugar from CuDa is decreased.
1t is to be remembered that each and
all of these industries were promised
protection in the Republican platform
of 1896, were accorded protection in
the Dingley tariff of 1897, and were
assured of continued protection in the
Republican platform of 1900. 1t is
therefore highly pertinent to ask, can
the nation afford to disregard its
pledges to these, its own people, and to
impose the entire burden Of Cuban re-
lief-otherwise known as sugar trust
relief-upon American producers of
sugar and tobacco? It is a serious
question.

WAGES AND LIVING.

Practical Proof That Wage Farmers
Profitod by Mckinley Prosperity.
Those who dispute the benefits real
lied by labor from protection, and who
insist that the increase of wages paid
is more than Offset by the increase in
the cost Of living, will find their con-
tention greatly weakened, if not alto
gether negatived, by the recently is
sued report on the condition of savings
banks in the state of New York. On
the first day of January, 1902, the
grand total of deposits was $709,059,-
156, an increase of $51, JIG, 116 over the
total Of January l, 1901. Whence
came this increase of more than fifty
one millions in single year Of Ding
ley tariff prosperity? Chiefly from
the savings of the wage earners. It is
not asserted that these deposits of
over S700,000,000 are wholly those of
wage earners, but the great bulk Of
them comes from that source. The
average deposit in the largest of the
New York savings banks, also the
largest savings bank in the world, is
$3.50. In another bank the average de-
posit is $40. Although individual de-
posits as large as $4,000 and $4,000
are received by a few of the savings
banks, by far the larger portion Of
these banks depend wholly upon the
smaller sums which represent the saw
ings of work people. Fully two-thirds
of all the savings banks deposits are
of this class.

MAJOR WALL Err ACQUITTED.

Des Moines, Iowa, April 14.--While
returning from church north of the
outskirts of the city last evening Mary
Peterson, Is years of age, and Thomas,
aged IL years, the children of Peter j.
Peterson, well-to-do dairyman, were
murdered by some unknown person.
An examination revealed that both had
their heads crushed in by what is be-
lieved to have been a brickbat.
The police so far are without clue.
The body of the girl was found In a
ditch. She had been ravished by her
assailant and her underclothing was
badly torn. At the base of the head
she had been hit by some hard instru-
ment resulting in fracturing the skull.
On the crown of the head were four
or five indentations, all of which would
have proven serious If not fatal. Not
a brick or instrument can be found
within the region where the murders
occurred. The boy. who was found in
a ditch on the opposite side of the
road, had been most cruelty treated.
Full half dozen indentations were
made on the skull and the face also
showed evidence of being pounded.
Two other girls of the Peterson family
declare week ago they were chased

are unable TO give any description. Not
far from the scene of the murder are
the Marquisville coal mines, in which
colored coal miners are employed and
the impression of the police Is the
murderer is resident of MarQuisville.
The tracks of two men were found
leading from the scene but they soon
led into a path where all trace was
lost
Bloodhounds will be put on the trail
of the murderer. Governor Cummins
will offer a reward of $500 for the cap
ture of the criminals.
James Hutchins. a dark colored
negro, was arrested this afternoon. He
had on the back of his coat the imprint
of bloody hand. A crowd of several
thousand gathered in front of the city

lynching Hutchins was INDUCED in. no
effort was made to take him from the
officers. Excitement is running high

H. U. NUDGE.
He Says the Choctaw Sale Will Not
Affect the Santa Fe.
PROPOSED AMARILLO CUTOFF.

The absorption of the Choctaw by
the Rock Island, if 1t has taken place.
Will not interfere with any plans which
the Santa Fe may have concerning the
proposed cutoff from Amarillo to Albu-
querque." said General Manager H. u.
Nudge, of the Santa Ne. i'm speaking
Of the salu of the Choctaw TO a Topeka
State Jorrr.Al representative.
II am inclined to believe" continued
Mr.. Nudge. that as far as the Santa
Fe is concerned. 1t would prefer to
have the Choctaw in the control of the
Rock Island than operating as an inde-
pendent line. I do not consider that
the absorption of the Choctaw has
blocked the plans of the Santa Fe. The
Santa Fe has several surveying parties
in the field between Amarillo and Albu-
querque. Further than that can not
say what progress is being made on
this possible extension"
"Will the Choctaw carry out its plan
to build from Weatherford to Albu-
querque?"
II can't say as to that" replied Mr..
Nudge, but | would Judge that the ex-
tension to Albuquerque is not likely to
be built II the Rock Island owns the
line. The extension from Weatherford
to Amarillo is well under way at the
present time, and is under contract for
the whole distance. so it will undoubt-
edly be completed"
1t Is evident from the statements of
General Manager Nudge that the
Santa Fe does not propose to abandon
its proposed short line to California by
way of Amarillo and Albuquerque sim
ply because of the reported absorption
OF the Choctaw by the Rock Island. If
1t is decided by the Santa Fe to build
from Amarillo to Albuquerque 1t will
mean much to the country on the
Pecos Valley lines. The great bulk of
the California travel will then go via
Amarillo instead of La Junta and Las
Vegas.
