: THE PEOPLE ARE ROBBED
BY HIGH PROTECTIVE TARIFF-A CLEAR
EXPOSE OF The UBIQUITOUS
SYSTEM.

nine million dollars, Brother Poe.
To be frank with You, it is nine
hundred million dollars.
The foreigner bought, during the
year named, upwards of nine million
bales of American cotton, paying US
not quite five hundred million dol
lars for it. He sold the manufac-
tured prodacts-cloth and "sich"-
for fourteen hundred million dollars.
Five hundred from fourteen hun
dred leaves nine hundred.
Tidy sum to lose every year-this
S9oo,OOO,O0O!
x When is the cotton grower to wake
up and watch the way his Congress
man votes?
When is the farmer going to learn
how to compel his representative to
vote for laws that will benefit the
4 farmer?
The official record reveals the aw-
full fact that the steel trust, alone,
clears more money, every year, than
the 100000 agriculturists clear
in ten years.
Why? Because the steel trust
gets congress to pass laws that bene-
fit the trust. How does congress
sional legislation enable the steel
trust to earn larger profits IN one
1 year than all the farmers can earn
in ten?
By putting the iicense-fee of the
foreigner who seeks to sell in our
market so high that he cannot af-
ford to pay it. The tariff duty which
the foreigner has to pay at the GUS
tom house, before he can offer his
goods for sale in our country, is the
same as license fee, paid for the
privilege to sell.
Suppose foreigner has to pay
four dollars tariff duty on suit of
clothes which sells in Europe for six
dollars. The four dollars must be
: added to the six, and We Americans
must paw. ten dollars for the suit.
The FOREIGNER cannot afford to sell it
to us for less.
That being so, the American
manufacturer can put ten-dollar
nriee on his six-dollar suit of clothes
also. The foreigner cannot sell for
less than ten, without losing money,
whereas the American manufacture
er can offer his suit at $3.50, cut the
foreigner out of the trade, and still
pocket $3.50 more than the suit of
clothes is worth,
When the foreigner can afford to
bring his goods into our market, the
Sovernment gets the tariff duties.
When the foreigner cannot afford
to sell in our market, the American
manufacturer has m o n opolY,
charges extortionate prices, and the
Government gets nothing.
Thus the tariff keeps competition
out. breeds the trust and plllages=

TROUBLE MAY COME.

A reporter talked with prominent
citizen of Grand Junction who has
made several visits to Telluride re-
Gently, but who did not wish his name
used. He said that there is consider
able disquiet in the mining town,
and that but little excuse would be
needed to cause an uprising there
The recent attempt to dynamite
Bulkeley Wells has caused stirring
up of old animosities, and the Adams
trial naturally has helped The bet
ter citizens on both sides are making
every effort to keep the radicals
within bounds, but it is a difficult
task. IT, after a strong showing of
his guilt, Adams should not be con-
victed. and if at that time any act
of violence should occur in the dis
trict, this observer says he would not
be surprised If there should be an
| other uprising of the business ele-
ment, with an expulsion of the West
ern Federation men. 1t is time
when agitators are superfluous, and
when the demand for cool-headed
men is strong.

TO INFLUENCE VERDICT.

]. S. Carnahan. of counsel for the
state, did not look at the matter in
the same light. "There was abso-
lutely no excuse for the writing of
the letter or its publication" said he.
Its purpose is apparent on its face;
, it was written in the hope of influ
encing the verdict in the present
case. If the citizens of Telluride
cannot celebrate the day on which
the Declaration of Independence was
signed without giving occasion to a
man who is opposed entirely to the
principles of that declaration, and
to a newspaper which has shown that
I its only object of existence is the
publication, not of news, but of what
ever fabrication will stir up a SEN
sation,-if such an innocent cause
can be so distorted as this has been,
the person who cannot see the ami
mas back of it all is so blind that he
is helpless. There was no excuse
whatever for the publication of that
letter, except the hope that it would
influence favorably to the defendant
the verdict in the Adams case"

that they have been driven out of
Telluride within recent days for no
other reason than that they belong
to the federation. A Mr.. Smith is
here who told me he had been beaten
up by Hicks, the notorious gun-man,
now one of the city of Telluride Of
ficers, and then driven out of the
district. That occurred but few
days ago.
''Is it any wonder, then, that when
Mr.. Meyer heard these rumors of
what was planned for the Fourth. he
should send out his letter cautioning
the miners against giving even the
slightest opportunity to their enc
mics? | want to say again that,
while I know nothing of the letter,
/ think Mr. Meyers course in writing
it and sending it to the miners in
Telluride was a wise precaution."

as a reflection on the citizens gener-
ally.
Many business men and citizens.
Irrespective Of their opinions as to
the mining troubles, are lending
hearty support to the Fourth of July
celebration, which is to continue for
three days. All the mines will close
down and all employees given an op-
portunity to enjoy the many worthy
features to be provided. There has
not been the least intimation that
any trouble was TO occur; and, un-
til this letter of Mr. Meyers was
made public, it is not believed that
ever the members of the Federation
had any thought of trouble occurring
tomorrow or on the two succeeding
days of the celebration.
There is no longer a Citizens AL
lance or Mine Owners Association
in Telluride.
Telluride was planning an old
time Fourth of .Ju.y cefebration. and
it was hoped that all differences
would be forgotten for the time being
while the citizens enjoyed the whole
some entertainments and features to
be provided by the various commit
tees.
A band of Navajo Indians arrived
last night from a Utah reservation,
and are under the charge of Sterl
Thomas, famous old Indian guide
and interpreter. The Indians will
give war dances and various other
exhibitions. Horse races and other
features will be pulled off.
There is absolutely no indication
that there will be any trouble here.

To the members of the Telluride
Miners Union, and all members of
the Western Federation of Miners in
and around Telluride, Colorado:
Sirs and Brothers
During the past few days informa-
nation, which ! believe to be auth
entic, has come into my possession to
the effect that villainous conspiracy
to precipltate a fight and shooting
affray between the union miners and
certain alleged officers of the law,
has been consummated to take place
ON July 4, during the celebration to
be held In Telluride. The full par
ticulars as to how it is to be provok-
ed, the means to be used, and the
names of those commissioned to in
augurate it, are in my possession.
The proposed celebration is to be
used as an opportunity to incite. such
an encounter and has been conceived
for this expressed purpose, to be fol-
lowed by wholesale deportation of
Federation men.
All union men are hereby warned
to bear these facts in nina, remain at
their homes or boarding houses, con-
duct themselves temperately and or
derly on this occasion. and bear in
mind that the recent and unprovok-
ed brutal assaults on your members
We're designed as means to this
end. Be on your guard against men.

JUDGE HILTON TALKS.

Judge A. NJ. Hilton, chief counsel
for the defense in the Adams trial,
was seen by reporter for The Sen
tinel in reference to the Meyer let
ter. "Of course that letter will be
charged up to me-" said the judge,
"as everything of that nature is al
ways charged; and it will be said it
was written at my instigation for
the purpose of influencing the Adams
trial. Any denial may make, there
fore. will be prejudiced against me in
advance. However, it is a fact that

ter until | saw it in the paper this
morning.
Nothing Out of Way"
"As a matter of fact, however. |
can see nothing at all out of the way
in the contents of the letter. The
facts, | believe, are as Mr.. Meyer
stated them. He had reason to be-
lieve. from information that came to
him from apparently reliable sources,
that at the celebration to be held in
Telluride tomorrow efforts were to
be made to incite the members of the
Western Federation of Miners to
commit some overt act that would
operate as an excuse to the mine
owners to drive the members of the

The Erie railroad has announced the
withdrawal of all its passenger rates
in the Chicago rate sheet, and other
trunk lines were expected to follow
suit. The Denver and Rio Grande has
made a rate of $3.50 from Denver to
New York via the Missouri Pacific in
consequence. This is less than the
regular first class rate from Denver to
Chicago

The cotton mills Of New Bedford
Mass, have paid dividends amounting
to IS per cent, the largest in the city's

Will Use 3oo,ooo,0oo Cans.
The California Fruit Gamers asso-

tract for cans on record to the Amer
lean Can company of Pittsburg, calling
| for 300,000000 cans to be delivered at
the rate of 100000 a year for FIVE
years. 1t is made known that terms
on this order were 70. ed upon the

can works in California by the fruit
growers of that section.
Enormous Dividend Payments.
In striking contrast with the years
record of deprecated values come the
estimated total dividend disbursements
for Jan. / of about $95, 100000 and to
this must be added interest payments
amounting to 100000 more This
would indicate an increase of yield and
decrease of price.

permitted to use any material whatever

far has been mainly from corn.
