TLIE HAPPY EFFECTS OF FREE
TRADE REVOLUTION.
15. 0. Flower of New York in un
article iu The Arena appealing for
aid to the National Uuiou for Practical
Progress quotes a picture given by
Justin McCarthy iu his History of Our
Times of the condition of the people
of England just prior to the. repeal of
the corn laws. Mr. Flower says in the
early forties the condition of the
wealth producers of England accord
lug to Mr. McCarthy was as hitter
as the condition of our indus-
trial millions today. The poor were
starving a profound discontent per-
meated the wealth producers of Brit-
aiu: their cace however nppenn-d so
hopeless that their v.-ry mentality
seemed numbed. The daily and
weekly papers ignored the real root
causes of tho misery and poverty
among the industrial masses. The
people were rapidly coming to the
poirt when they .'onged for the mutch
of bloody revolution to be lighted.
The government hail tried to crush
the popular revolt by brutal
methods by shameful imprisonment
of tpeakers and writers but every
Imprisonment added greutly to the
forces who were waiting and eveu
eager for revolution. The miserables
were saying "nothing could be worse
than this perpetual fear and this never
ending hunger." At a public speaR
iog a poor man usbed into the room
saying ne wisneu mey wouia unu
him. He felt that banging was pref-
prhln to slow starvation. "The dis-
aoDointment of the people" says Mc
Uarthy "took the form of infidelity."
Now at such a time as this when
the hope of a peaceful sett.ement
seemed Zindeed an indecent aream a
few earnest thoughtful men banded
together and formed an "auti coin
law league." They subscribed liber-
ally made a vigorous educational can
vass lecturing and holding great po-
litical meetings which might have
bpen taken for relitrious revivals. The
presses worked contiuually England
was flooded with tracts aDd pamphlets
and the result was that the mo it re-
markable revolution of modern times
followed in the course of a few years
the corn laws were overthrown and
England took a grand stride by open-
ing her harbors to the free admittance
of tho products of other lands and
climes. It was a step towards
human brotherhood. It was a step
looking towards the closest federation
of the nations of the world and in
spite of the savage opposition auu
gloomy predictions of ruin iJ proved a
splendid policy. England became tne
commercial metropolis of the world
This resolution' was accomplished
peaceably at a time when hate and
universal discontent seeiueed to make
bloody revolution inevitable." The
writer then draws the conclusion that
we are iu the midst of such a crisis and
ought to profit by the example.
The object of the National Union
for Practical Progress is first popular
educational agitation against the
sweating system against the tenement
system th? opening of public parks
and playgrounds; secondly the weld
ing together of those who love for the
service of these who euller that is to
bring into sympathy and co-operation
different organizations of moral in
dustrial aud social reform; thirdly
education of a fundamental character
nod fourthly practical philanthropy.
Mr. Ilower then appeals to all who
desire to unite in the work to subscribe
$1 a year to the national educational
fund for the purpose of putting labor-
ers in the field this $1 to be paid when
$1000 is subscribed. We desire to ap
ply the illustration to our present con
dition of affairs and demonstrate from
the condition of Engla before the
repeal of the corn laws that the re-
form of the tariff proposed by the
Democratic party was along this line
and thought it would not be fair to
use it without advertising the scheme.
A letter to B. O. Flower New York
would give perhaps more interesting
information on the subject. Chas. J
Bonaparte of Baltimore is a member
of the executive committee of the Na-
tional Union for Practical Progress
aud although we know nothing more
about it than that it is obviously en-
dorsed by The Arena a New York
monthly magazine of high standing
we have no doubt of the merits of the
association. Ve do know from present
indications in the senate that an edu-
cational campaign on the tarilT is ab-
solutely necessary.
It were better to be a doorkeepor in
the house of the Democracy than to
sit on the throne in the courts of the
Populists.
BKPEAL TAX ON STATE BANKS
DEFEATED.
The 75 Democrats in the house of
representatives who voted against
the repeal of the 10 per cent tax on
state banks were undoubtedly gov-
erned by the idea attributed to the
Jesuits that they might do wrong
that good may come of It. The tax
was not put upon state banks in order
that the government might derive
any rovenue from it. It is aud was
meant to be prohibitory to insure a
monopoly of banking to the national
banks. Mr. Springer is one of the
Democrats who voted against the re-
peal. We suppose he was influenced
in his vote by the opinion he holds
and reiterated not long since that the
states have no right to authorize
banks to issue uotes and fix a value
upon them lie thinks that belongs
solely to the Federal government.
That may be true but still state banks
may do business without being banks
of issue and at any rate Mr. Springer's
vote agaiust the repeal of this taxing
bill and by which his object was ac-
complished of continuing to tax state
banks out of competition with na-
tional banks was indirect and unfair
aud of no more force than the idea
that others had that they
might do wrong if good was the
result of the wrong. While
wo do not believe in state h.tuks of
isi-ue we do regard the prohibitory
tax voted by Democrats as wrong aud
In violation of all Democrat iu princi-
ples. If tlie national Democratic
platform had not recommended the
repeal of the state bank tax its re-
peal would have been in a line of
Democratic tiriuoiples and policy tor
it is nothing itss than a prohibitory
tar ill protective ol national bauks. A
literal construction of tho constitution
of the United States in our humble
opinion prohibits state banks of issue
but it is unnecessary for Democrats to
endorse a protective tariff such as the
10 per cent tax ou state banks.to carry
out that article of the constitution.
Certainly it is not unconstitutional to
establish state banks without the
privilege of issuing their own bank
bills for there could be no. harm
of the wild cat or red dog
features in such banks. Unless
state banks are permitted to buy
state bonds and issue bank bills to
the amount of boDds deposited with
the state treasury of an equal amoun t
with the face of the bonds the evils
that the wild cat system brought
upon us in the fifties could not be re-
peated. It is a bad policy to engraft
on legislation the idea that evil may
be done that good may come of it.
State banks of issue might be an evil
but it is a greater evil for Democrats
to violate both the moral law and the
established principles of tne party
against a prohibitory tariff.
' Dark horses are said to be darken
ing the vision of the "Old Alcalde."
The fact that the Old Alcalde made
such a fine sweepstakes race as a dark
horse is tpt to keep his vision clouded
in that part of tbe political horizon.
The Reed idea of reciprocity and
silver is spreading among the Repub'
lican party. These gentlemen are up
to all kinds of schemes to get back in-
to power. This attempted steal from
the Democratic platform of silver cur
rency by international agreement
looks like they are hard pressed and
are wi ling to do anything for political
success.
A GOOD man may be maligned and
misrepresented and abused for awhile
but like truth crushed to earth he
will rise again and the great and the
good will come to do aim reverence.
Andrew Jackson was burned in effigy
but two years afterwards if any man
had proposed to re-enact that little in
dignity to Old Hickory he would have
been burned himself. He outlived evil
report in two years and within that
time was the most popular man in the
country. Mark the prediction witbin
two years the Democratic party with
an assured tremendous majority wil
be clamorous for Mr. Cleveland's nom-
ination for a third term. It is our
honest belief that no ma a will go
down to history more honored as a
wise and honest statesman and a man
of unquestioned integrity than will
Grover Cleveland.
POLITICS AT GEORGETOWN.
Lieutenant Governor Crane and John D.
McCall Address a Large Audience.
Georgetown Tex. June 8. Lieu-
tedant Governor Crane candidate for
attorney general addressed a good
sized audience in the court bouse to
day. He was introduced by Judge
D. S. Chessher in a few appropriate
words. Mr. Crane stated that he is
very hopeful of election.
His speech was very interesting
throughout and scarcely a man ietc
the room during its progress.
Tne I'opulists were criticised some
times earnestly sometimes humor
ously but never offensively. He re-
gards their theories as socialistic and
revolutionary and youDg men were
especially warned against being mis-
led into their fallacies. If he had to
face either alternative although it
would be a bitter pill he would cast
his vote for Republicanism rather
than in favot of Populism.
lie nad little to say against the Re
publican party because he said he re
garded them as the most harmless
people in this state. Pops he said
are harmless too but they think
themselves a power in the land and
are making so much fuss about it.
Mr. Crane mentioned the fact
that next week he is to meet
Cyclone Davis in joint debate
at Taylor aud champion Democra-
cy in the contest. He hopes the
people will remember that and treat
him well in the primaries here tomor
row.
Mr. Crane was frequently cheered.
His opponent 11. L. Henry was a
tormer student of Southwestern Uni-
versity at this place and has many
personal friends. Mr. Crane has
friends and won more by his presence
here and his speech.
As Mr. Crane closed his speech
Hon. Jno. D. McCall candidate for
governor entered the room. He was
called to the front and introduced by
Mr. Crane. He made a brief talk re-
viewing the financial condition of the
state and promising if elected gover-
nor to mauage the state's affairs in a
businesslike manner. He is making
his race upon his record. He was re-
ceived with applause.

BILL D ALTON KILLED.
HE DIES AT THE HANDS OF MAR-
SHAL HART.
Fortunately the Taking Off of the Bandit
Chieftain Was Not Attended by the
Loss of Other Lives He Led
the Longview Robbery.
Special to The Statesman.
Paris Tex. June 8. The Longview
bank robbers have finally been round
ed up and it turns out that the perpe
tra ors of that audacious enterprise
were the remnants of the notorious
Dalton gang. It has been the belief
of the United States authorities that
it was the Dalton gang who did the
work. The officers have been moving
mysteriously and the greatest secrecy
has been observed and now that the
work has been accomplished the story
is no longer withheld as to bow they
were rounded up. On Monday last
some parties went to Duncan I. T. a
town on the Rock Island railway and
made purchases to the extent of about
$200. They bought a wagon a lot' of
clothing some Winchesters ammuni-
tion nnd other articles. A carpenter
was employed to build a house. After
buying the articles the par-
ty went east in the di-
rection of Ardmore. Soon after
they were gone it was discovered
the bills they paid out were on the
Longview bank. The bills looked as
if they had been wet to make them
look old. The bank was communi-
cated with at once and the Dumbers
on the bills corresponded to those
taken from the bank.
United States Marshal Williams
was notified and a deputy was put on
the trail of the parties at once. Yes-
terday a party weut to Ardmore in
company with two women. They
were in a wagon. They bought a
quantity of fine female attire a large
quantity of ammunition provisions
and men's clothing much too large
for the man that bought them. The
man was never known to have any
money and something wrong was sus-
pected. An officer looked into the
wagon and found a five gallon jug of
whisky. The men and women were
arrested as whisky peddlers. Six
deputy marshals at once went on the
trail that the suspect came In to town
on and today succeeded in surprising
the gang. They made fight but to no
purpose. When it ended Bill Daltoii
was dead. The proof is positive that
it was Dalton and his pals that did
the work. Marshal Williams is now
on the Canadian river but a courier is
going to him as rapidly as possible to
notify him of tho capture. The offi
cers who did the work will secure a
reward of many thousand dollars.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
Denison Tex. June 8. Bill Dalton
is dead. A telegram from Ardmore.
T. leaves no doubt that the most
dangerous bandit known to the West
since the doath if Jesse James has
succumbed to the inevitable fate of
the outlaw a bullett from the gun of
an officer of the law and the Terri
tory i lid of a man who has been a
terror to peace loving citizans and
a source of great expense to the
government. His murders and
thefts in the territory aud the West-
ern states are too numerous to re-
count and evidence after the killing
makes it plain beyond doubt that
Dalton led the gang who robbed the
Longview bank a faw weeks ago at
which time four lives were sacrificed.
The well authenticated story that
comes from the territory is that today
two prostitutes went to Aidaime in
the Chickasaw country and purchas-
ed goods to the amount of about S'JOO
paying cash for tbe goods and ex
hibiting a large amount of money be-
sides that used. A man who was
with them went to the express office
end received a package containg two
ugs ol whisky. The officers
who had been shadowing the party
Bince their first appearance promptly
arrested the man for wringing liquoi
into the territory and held him be-
lieving that ho was connected with
the Dalton gang which bad been con
firmed by incautious words dropped
by the party indicating that thoy
were just from Dalton's rendezvous.
It was well known to the officers
that Bill Dalton had a rendezvous at
the little village of Elk in the moun-
tains above Caddo creek 25 miles
away. l hither officers were dis-
patched and on approaching the
house where Dalton was supposed to
bo were rewarded by seeing the out
law chief come out and take a survey
of the premises. He saw the
officers getting iu position east of
the house but those to the west
and closer to him evidently escaped
his observation. Going inside the
house Dalton armed himself prepaia-
tory to making a desperate fight.
Stepping out of the door again C. Loss
Hart a deputy United States marshal
who was on the west side of the house
fired at Dalton and he sank to the
ground his gun dropping from hia
grasp. Hart immediately rushed to
him and asked bim a question but
Dalton was too far gone to make a re
ply and died without uttering a
word.
The
officers then proceeded
to
search the house where thoy found a
mostly in
crisp bank note3 from the Longview
Tex. bank which was robbed a few
weeks ago and more than 100 letters
were found many of them addressed
to Bill Dalton. The remains were
nlaced in a waron and taken to his
wife's home in Ardmore and wereim
mediately recognized by her and she
at once became hysterical lrom grief
In apoearance Dalton is a typical
desperado being 5 leet 9 inches tall
weight about 170 pounds with long
black curly hair moustache and
goatee. C. Loss Hart the man who
gave Dalton his death wound is 36
years old and has been a deputy
United States marshal fur several
years. He is noted for his bravery
and is held in mortal dread by the
criminal element:
The aggregate rewards offered for
Dalton dead or alive are now known
at this time but the amount is large.
DISPATCH FROM ARDMORE
Ardmore I. T June 8 While
resisting arrest today Bill Dalton was
shot and instantly Killed. The men
tityoftheman is complete and it is
shown that he was the leader of tbe
gang which robbed the Longview
bank.
NEWS RECEIVED AT LONGVIEW.
Longview Tex. June 8. As soon
as it became known that one of the
Longview bank robbers had been
killed in Ardmore resisting arrest
great excitement prevailed and much
anxiety was felt over th9 probable
death or wounding of some of our
post e or some good deputy marshal
tor tne snooting qualities of the roo
hers cannot be under estimated. The
following telegrams were received by
Sheriff M. C. Howard at 8 p. m. from
Ardmore I. T. stating: "I have got
one ot the Longview band robbers
Positive proof. He is Bill Dalton.
Send parties at once to identify. He
was killed resisting arrest. J. T
Lindsay United States deputy mar
shal."
Another to Mayor Whitlock from
Paris as follows: "One of your rob
lierB supposed to be Kill Dalton was
killed by my deputies Lindsey and
brooner. Williams u. S. M."
Our sheriff and several citizsns left
tonight to identify the dead robber.
Brafatreet's Financial Review
New York June 8. Bradstreet's
Financial Review tomorrow will say
Epecuiauve activity nas oeen on s
slightly increased Bale. Narrow cot.-
ditions however continue to surrouod
the market and the want of any geu-
eral interest in railroad and other se -curities
is apparent. The p ofessioual

seem to be still ipoLsible for the
bulk of the ri.u sac; ions in the share

as serious interruption to traffic from

Some sit:! r. pinc'iasiug from London
ij though.: to be purely speculative or
to have originated in part on this side
of the ocean. The fact that foreign
exchange holds steady at the gold
point and that this week $0150000
gold was shipped to Europe is conclu-
sive as to the unwillingness of foreign
interests to purchase Americans in
any quantity financial circles were
undoubtedly enaouraged by the defeat
of the proposition to permit state bank
note issues The vote agaiust the
measure was unexpectedly large and
the feeling in such quarters is that a
considerable advance has been made
towards the settlement ot the currency
and the banking laws on conservative
lines.
As a speculative factor however
this matter was subordinated to the
adoption by the senate of the amended
sugpr schedule of the tariff bill. This
I conclusion is drawn by the Wall street
speculators and that this action indi-
cates the speedy passage by the sen-
ate of the entire schedule and the con-
sequent release o? business from the
uncertainty of which state the pend
ing tariff legislation has been the
cause. It is noticeable however that
sugar stock though the supposed ben-
eficiary of the action did not "boom"
on the news.
Washington speculative buying was
conspicuous in the movement which
carried the price up t.j 1.08 1-4 but
realizing followed and the stock sold as
low as 1.04 d-4 oo Friday the fluctua-
tions being conliued to narrow limits.
Intimations not only that there would
be further delay oil the tarilT in the
seuate with opposition to the sugar
schedule but that the later provision
would be the object of a disagreement
between house and senate should the
bill go to a conference appear to have
had a restraining effect cu speculation
iu this securhty. Tbe declaration of
the company's regular dividend passed
unnoticed and the manipulation
presents traces of a desire to prevent
any advance in the stock.

DAMAGE BY FLOODS.
It
Will Cost the Oregon Company a
Million Dollars for Repairs.
Omaha Neb.. June 8 The
to the Oregon Railway and Naviga-
tion company by the present floods in
the Columbia and Snake rivers seems
to have been considerably over esti-
mated according to Secrete ry T. M.
Orr of the Union Pne.ifir.
Ia many piaces he said
the track would undoubtedlv
be found intact when the waters fell.
The repairs necessary to bring the
track back to its old condition will be
made bv the Union Tnriiif Vint will Iio
charged up against the Oregon Rail-
way company which will have to make
good the amount expended for main-
tenance of the repair of the road.
Probably it will take $1000 000 to put
the road back in its normal
condi:ion. which leave the
net. earnings of the Oregon
company in a very delapidated state.
But there will be a few heartaches on
the part of Union Pacific officials
when tho road severs its connection
with the overland. Should the Ore-
gon Railway and Navigation company
pet u -eparate receivership it would
leave the Union Pacific in much bet-
ter eoudition through traffic arrange-
ments than through its present lease
on the lines which includes some 2000
miles of track and water facilities.
