In the annual report of the Inter
state Commerce Commisiona recOmmen-
dation will be mlde to Congress for the
prevention of ticket scalping. This
action. which is a renewal of one sent to
Congress at its last session, but which
was passed by the House only, owing to
an opposing lobby operated by the
scalpers, is primarily due to fraud and
ticket counterleiting. Arrests have been
made in several cities on charge of fraud
in ticket specializing, and a number OF
convictions have resulted. Owing to
issuance of these tickets railroads are pre-
vented from according special rates to
organizations, and the Interstate Com

IT Is stated that wealthy Pittsburgers
are organizing the Union Millionaires

biblical authority for the statement that

the propriety or wisdom of rich men
flourishing their wealth in the faces OF
those less fortunate or organizing them

NOT ONLY is the tariff likely to be
made the chief issue in the coming
Presidential campaign, but it will surely
come to the front in this falls congress
sional election, when the injustice it Is
doing the masses in favor of a privileged
few will be shown in its true light.
The democrats will try to win the next
House mainly on this issue, and the re-
publican protectionists are in guam
diary, for the chairman of the republican
congressional committee Mr.. Babcock, at
the last session of Congress introduced
a bill in the House TO substantially re-
duce protective duties on iron and stee
and many other articles. His ground Is
that the tariff, in obstructing competl'
ton. enables the trusts making pro
tected commodities to control the home
market against American consumers. Ii
behalf of his bill he has repeatedly de-
clared that it has the sympathy, if not
the active support, of many other re-
publican representatives in Congress
from the west. Chairman BabcOck thus
comes directly into collision with his
party on a fundamental doctrine, and
on one of its most important measures Of
legislative policy. Democrats on the
hastings will have but little difficulty in
putting to confusion their republican
opponents by simply quoting from the
speeches Mr.. BabcOck has made on the
tariff question.

Such RANK injustice is being done
the people of this country by the sell
ing of American manufactured goods IN
foreign markets at a much less price
than they are sold at home, that re-
volt against the present high tarlii laws
under which this injustice is possible,
is threatened in the strongest republican
strongholds and is giving the republican
marty leaders no little concern. Some
few people can be fooled all the time
and all the people for short time, out
all the people cannot be fooled all the
time. The republican leaders are be-
ginning to realize this truth and they
themselves are now talking Of making Il
reduction in the present high tariii'
But they will not do so unless they are
forced to it. and all sensible people
know they will not When complaint
is made in any quarter that American
manufactured goods are sold cheaper to
foreioners than at hOme-nOt as an ex-
pedient for reducing surplus stock, but
regularly in the course OF trade-the
answer comes quickly that wages are
higher and prosperity more a'ked here
than anywhere else in the world; that
protective duties, which render possible
such differences in domestic and export
prices, are the very foundation OF our
MAGNIFICENT industrial system, and that
the man who seeks to interfere with
them is an migrate and an agitator who
would injure American industries.
Every possible effort is made by the or
gans of monopoly, special privilege and
tariff robbery to choke off discussion Of
the 40 per cent. advantage which
foreign buyers of our wares enjoy ovel
American customers. The American
agriculturist, upon whose vote, after
all is based the fabric of political author
ity and economic policy in this coun-
try. needs only to be accurately In
formed as to the workings of interna'
tional trade discrimination by monopoly
to put an end promptly to the practice'

ord well says :
rcWhat is really the case Is that th'

under stress of competition. The lying
promise that tariff-coddling would re-
suit in lower prices by reason of home
competition has been discredited in the
formation of innumerable trusts to pre-
vent competition. And the farmer pays
for it all-the magniicence of trust ex-
pansion, the stupendous accretions OF
individual fortunes, the preferential adj
vantage to foreigners in dealing in our

ANOTHER KENTUCKY FEUD.

Vanceburg, KY, July 2S.-Ken-
lucky may give birth to another feud,
which will equal the one now raging in
Breathitt county, between two powerful
factions. Saturday picnic was held
in Lewis county. During the day two
strong families became arrayed one
against the other and two lives were
snufied out in an instant, Another
man was so badly wounded that he
cannot live. Vengeance is being sworn
on both sides and armed men are pre-
pared to demand life for life. John
and Hugh Dickerson, brothers, and
Jack and Roe Dyer attended the picnic.
They had been the best Of friends and
during the early hours were together.
An alteration occurred On the dancing
platform and there was fusil-
lade of shots. When the smoke
blew away Jack Dyer was found dead
near his brother Roe, who was in his
death agony. John Dickerson was shot
through the groin, probably fatally, and
Hugh was uninjured. Jack Dyer had
been shot through the heart and Roe
had five bullets near the heart, showing
that the heart had been the objective
point of the Dickersons. The Dicker-
son boys fired ten shots and nine OF
them found Judgment in human bodies.
The wounded Dyer died in an hour.
No arrests have been made and armed
men are patrolling the premises of the
Dickersons. The place where the trouble
occurred is about as wild as can be found
in the Kontucky mountains. Ii is "A
miles from railroad and the approaches
to it are almost impregnable, so if a
mountain feud should be the result, il
will likely prove as costly for human
life as any for which Kentucky is noted.
