Away With It.
Unit Lie, 80 Lie Low.
Protectionists invite and enconrrge
discussion of the tariff and of our indus
trial interests in general. The more the
subject is examined fairly and dispas
sionately, the greater is the gain for the
cause of home industry. On the other
hand, free traders, tariff reformers and
the like are engaged in a conspiracy of
silence. The word seems to have been
passed along to the free trade press to
lie low to discourage discussion of the
tariff and to divert attention from it
to the currency question or any other
subjoct except that one which is the
most important of all to (lie American
people.
But the free trade tactics will not
avail. The great dominant question
which has occupied the attention of Al
exander Hamilton, Clny, Greeley, Ca
rey, Blaine and other great minds will
continue to engross public attention,
aud it will be studied by the plain peo
ple, as Lincoln called them, as well
as by every person who aspires to be a
statesman or a politician, or who has
the good of his country at heart.
A False lialanca Sheet.
The treasury department presented a
statement for September showing re
ceipts somewhat over f:),000,000 in ex
cess of expenditures. This statement is
a cheat The snRar producers of the
United States have not yet been paid
the 5, 000,000 duo to them, the author
ity to pay which was given by the last
congress. It is a jnst debt owing by the
government, aud so long as 1 of it re
mains unpaid the administration cannot
claim that its revenue exceeds the needs
of the government. The September
statement is false. While Uncle Sam
owes money to the sugar producers or
to any one else a surplus of revenue
cannot be claimed. False balance sheets
represent nothing but Democratic chi
canery. New Market For Farmer.
The "perfidy and dishonor" taiiff ha
brought buck to the farmers of the corn

ever it is, of using their corn for fuel.
The markets of the world are open to
them, but the best market they hud for
their chief product is in their own
stoves. Cheat thing this privilege oi

Belling where you can sell dearest un

Right, mm r.Dal,
The free traders prophesied that free
trade in wool would advance the priot
of wool in this country. Protectionist
said it would cheapen wool here and ad
vauce it abroad. The protectionists were
right.
The Mean Ham.
The citizen who wants labor and ev
erything else cheap, his own goods ex
cepted, is not a true American, even if
his ancestors came over on the May
flower.

The tariff question should be studied

saw that the man's face was partly con
cealed by a handkerchief, whloh was tied
around the mlddlo of his head below his
eyes In such shnpe that It covered his
nose and his mouth, but not his chin.
Walters oould see that the man was smooth
shaven.
All carried big revolvers, which they
leveled In front of them, and the man
who wns In the lead snng out:
"Put up your hands!"
All the men In the saloon were greatly
frightened, and most of them compiled,
but Pope picked up n chair. Seeing this,
Manley orled out to Pope:
"Poke that fellow with the gun!"
Pope, who was nearest to the man In
the lead, took one step toward htm, with
the chair raised as If to strike him. At
that all three opened fire. Pope was hit
at the first shot. lie cried out-
"I'm shot!"
Staggered and Fell Dead.
Dropping the chair, ho staggered to
ward the little private room In the rear,
where he fell.
The two men, who were but partly In
side the saloon, turned and ran. The oth
er man, who was in the lead, keeping the
other men In the saloon covered with his
gun, walked deliberately across tho room
and up behind the bar. Ho pulled out tho
money drawer and took all the bills and
whnt loose change-he could get scattering
some of the change on the floor. Then he
came nut from behind the bar, backed
out of the front door and ran directly
south across the Southern boulevard into
the railroad yards, in which he disappear
ed. As soon as the men with the guns were
out of the saloon the others started for
help. They gathered up four or five po
licemen, and one of them got Dr. Donlun
of 7B7 East One Hundred and Thirty
fourth street and went back to the saloon.
Dr. Donlon found that Pope was dead.
The bullet had hit him In the right
breast and had passed out of the left side.
Dr. Donlon said ho must have died almost
Instantly.
One policeman ran to the Morrlsanla
station and notified Captain Crecden,
who, with Roundsman Postoff, Detective
Titus and four men, went to the saloon
as quickly as they oould.
