MOB LAW IN OHIO.
A N#sro llojr Ijiifhnil fo Murder of at.
«H.I Coupk-liiuucviicu Protested.
Cincinnati! Ohio, Jan. 13. Koscot
Parker, the negro boy who brutally
murdereil the aged Mr. lttiine and hit
wile December 11, was luuigcd by a
inob of the best citizens of Winches-
ter and adjacent points iu Adams*
county at 1 o'clock this morning,
about four miles from Winchester.
The inur ier was for money and only
MO was obtained. 1'arker, who was
only 10 years old, had worded for the
old couple and had known of Mr.
llhino receiving" money from the sale
of some stock- The boy confessed Ins
crime, but implicated Sain Johnson,
who easily proved his innocence.
Lynching was ihio.itcued and l'ariter
was taken to Portsmouth for safe-
keeping.
Meautimc a secret organisation was
formed and when it was learned yes-
terday that SherilT Ihinlan would
bring Parker to Adams countv for a
preliminary hearing and keep him
ovor night in the West Union jail mes-
senger* were sent out and a band of
4(K) men mctat the Panhandlocrossing
and rode to West Union. At the jail
they tried the ruse of pretending that
they had a prisoner, but SherilT Dun-
lap. seeing a mask, shut the door and
fastened il securely.
The mob then used force, and <te-
spile the sheriff's manly defense soon
had Parker and was on its way toward
Winchester.
The colored boy still maintained
th.it Johnson did the murder and
finally when the place agreed
upon for the banging was reached
and the rope was around his neck he
said he w:is not at the place of the
murder that night and could toll
nothing whatever about it lie re-
fused to pray and was hanged after
one or two efforts by the somewhat
unskillful rxecut oners, who left him
after tiring uullets Into his body.

and to enslave the working' man. Who
is .t that is reallv Humoring today for
mtinuation of the McKinley tariff
policy? Surely, not the great mass
f consumers. Not the small or infant
industries. Not the farmers who re
tiou in return for the
lyjavy taxes which thoj pay upon
very thin«r they buy. and whoso :i ,rri-
ulturiil products make up .eventy-two
percent of the total exports of the
I'nited states. ,* ot the labor organ i-
for they have discovered that
the increased prices of home manu-
factured products go into the pockets
f the trust barons and make them the
lore invulnerable against all organ
:ed efforts of the laboring classes to
increase their wages and better their
ndition.
I'he real henettcinrics of the McKin-
ley tariff policy are the great monopo-
lies. like 1 he < 'arnegio company and the
sugar re liner's trust, which have per-
fected their plans under the high pro-
live tariff ►ystein to destroy all the
smaller industries absolutely crush
out competition, control the American
arkcts. and limit production and
regulate wages. They desire no for
ign markets if they can have Ameri-
nn markets exclusively for t hem-
elves and can control prices. They
ail then dictate not only to the con-
inner, but to the laboring man also.
If they can built 1 a Chines/ wall
round the commerce of the I nited
tales, it is a matter of small import
to them wluit price the farmer receives
for wheat 'I lie markets will be large
iiougli for their purposes even though
they be restricted.
'I lie crocodile tears which Mr. Heed
davis for the lab .ring man are mixed
with the genuine fountains that are
induced to How at the prospects of the
loom of the trusts which have been
die chief contributors to and support-
ers of the Republican party.
The statement of Mr. Ree I that "we
must meet the price of foreign floods,
which are our competitors, by reduc-
tion of the price of labor," is a mere
bnneonibc The unanimous test'niony
of all respectable and honest American
manufacturers is that they can com-
pete with the manufacturers of any
mntry on earth if they be not com-
pelled to pay a tax upon the iuw ma-
terials of industry. I-et them buy
where they please and they can undcr-
cll the world without any reduction
>f wages, and that by reason of the
su|H-rior skill and industry of Ameri-
aii laborers.
lie predicts disaster for the Ameri-
an wool industry under the Wilson
bill, but passes in silem-.' over the fact
that the wools imported by the Aineri-
den manufacturer are of a
kind and quality that are not and can-
it l e grown in thin country, and
hose free importation will increase
the use of and demand for the Anieri-
uu product And he passes in silence
iver the further historical fact that
the higher the tariff on wool has been
the lower has been the price which the
American wool grower has received
for his product, and that the present
price of American wool under the
■protection" of the McKinley bill is
the lowest ever known.
As for the cotton growing states,
they all voted for the reduction of the
tari.T and none of them up to the pres-
ent time have petitioned either Mr.
Reed or Mr. McKinley to champion
their interests.
The country will be entirely satis-
fied if Mr. Reed will confine his efforts
to the championship of trusts and
monopolies ns he lias done in the past,
and leave the Interests of the people to
the protect ion and care of the Demo-
cratic majority in congress which was
chosen to represent them Kansas
City Times.
Tin" Calamity Shr|**k«*r*.
Anti tariff' reform newspapers are so
busv with the preparation of editorials
bemoaning the destitution and suffer-
ing that have fallen on the land, in
their opinion, since the election of Mr.
Cleveland, and are taking up so much
valuable space with display heads over j
er the responsibility of the distress
which muy exist elsewhere. The
odvoc&tos of tariff reform contend
merely that their time iscmiing. and
that a better system of tax equalization
will not cripple the receivers of divi:
(lends, but will bring about more
general prosperity. Time will ilevel-
opc the wisdom of their course. For
the present Major McKinley and his
friends may crawl out of whatever
hole they may liud.
I'lirtlnan Impudence.
flreat. effort is being- made on the
part of the Republican parti-a i press
t i misrepresent the intension. and
purpose of the Democratic congress-
men on the new tariff bill. Rumors
are freqjy circulated that certain Dem-
ocratic nicmliers of the senate will
oppose the Wilson bill, and will take it
upon themselves lo bring about the
repudiation of the pledges of the Dem-
ocratic platform, upon the faith of
which the Democratic party was
restoied to power. Predictions of this
sort are freely ma le by Republican
politicians.
'I he whole matter, however, is sim-
ply a game of bluff which is being
played l-y Republican congressmen
aided by the protected monopolies that
are sparing no efforts to intimidate
weak kneed Democrats.
It is well iu this connection to call
the attention of these con: pirators to
the fnet that tlie campaign of ISl -J was.
by confession of both parties, waged
squarely upon the issue of high pro-
tection on the one hand and a tariff
for revenue only on the other; that the
people understood the issue and
ace -pled it and rendered tlr-ir verdict
thereon that both parties confessed
during the entire campaign that it was
a campaign of principles: that the plat-
forms of the two parties made the
question of whether the tariff should
Ik* reformed the chief if not th" sole
matter of controversy. It was a linitted
by both sides before the election that
the success or failure of the Demo-
cratic party would he accepted as the
success or failure of the principles of
tariff reform, und that election must
be considered as the verdict of the
people upon that question. It was
admitted by the entire Republican
press as a decision on the part of the
people against the further continuance
of McKirileyism and no Republican
politician, no matter what his promi-
nence. dared until recently to assert
that the elections of 1HU0 and 1802 had
any other meaning.
I'm* It u Sin crml and IViik"*.
The doleful whine of the Republican
press urging the laboring class to peti-
tion congress not to pass the Wilson
bill, claiming that all the protected
industries will be compelled to go out
of business and the labor employed
must of necessity starve. The state-
ment is so reckless and s'.lly, we find
ourselves debating mentally as to how
the authors of such slush should be
received. Is be a deformed ignoramus
entitled to sympathy, or a mouthing
demagogue ana liar deserving con
tempt'.' To what extent tbf they pre-
sume to impose on the credulity «f the
reading public.
Manufactures nee raw material of
some kind to make a finished product.
With or without a tariff tliev strive to
obtain the material required in their
business in tlie cheapest market. If
the duty is taken clY the raw material
it enables the n to buy the raw mate-
rial cheaper than they would with the
duty on. Thov can sell the finished
product to t!ie consumer as much
cheaper as the tariff tax on the raw
material called for. Or if they are so
very much in earnest for the good
wages of the laborer they employ,
they can sell the finished product at
the old price with the duty on and pay
the nmount saved with the duty off to
the laborers they employ. In the one
case the consumer would be benefitted,
in the other the laborer would be bene-
fitted: in no case would there necessar-
ily be any lowering of wages because
of free raw material.
The following are bold and true
words from the New York World "The
overfed beneficiaries of the McKinley
tariff are resorting to their old tactics
to discredit thWilson bill. Manufac-

IMPROVING.

iN'kw York, Jan. 13.—K G. Dan's
Weekly Review of Trade savs: "Basi-
noss has improved since the new year,
und the gain is no lunger visible only
in speculative markets. It is the only
kind of gain that has in it the possi-
bility of lasting, because it is based
upon actual increase in the production
of industries. As all rcj >iee to see it
there is perhaps a little disposition to
reckon tho gaiu a little greater than
it is us yet, but several large estab-
lishments that have started | art force
hoping to increase, and more smaller
works have started than have stopped.
Orders from dealers whose stocks a|>-
prouch exhaustion form a prominent
cause; another is the widely prevalent
impression that action at Washington
will be more satisfactory than many
have expected, and a belief that in
ting under good headway the engineer any saso the situation will not be
was startled to hear the explosion of
three torpedoes, which had been
placed on the track at the same time
a red lantern was swung across the
track iu the regular style of a brake- j
man. The wheels of the locomotive
had hardly ceased revolving when the
engineer and fireman heard a gruff
voice from souicono beneath the cab,
saying: "Come down from there, we
want to use you for u littlu while."
The traiu men got off the cab and
were at once covered by several re-
volvers in the hands of masked men.
There were five of the robbers, for
such they wore, and one of tliein f*id:
"Come along with us and have your
friend, the express messenger, open
the door; he knows you better than he ;
docs us, and we want to make a call."
Thus covered bv tlie weapons the en-
gineer uud fireman walked back to
the express car and asked the mes-
senger to open the door. Messenger
Wetzel was busy with his packages at
the time and. when the knocks came,
he instinctively suspected that mis-
chief was on foot. When the robbers
fired two or three shots he was cer-
tain and he kicked a package of 810,-
000 in bills consigned to the Commer-
cial National bank of Chicago under
the stove of the car. Then he opened
the door and the robbers entered.
There was only one muiII safe
in the cur und this contained
only 847.80. The men covered Wetzel
with rille* and revolvers. After they
had cleaned out the safe, with oaths
and grumbling they asked if that was
all there was in the ear The messen-
ger assured them that it was and they
climbed down without looking about
the car.
In the meantime l'ostal Clerk Gage
had barred the doors of his car, and,
revolver in hand, was ready for the
bandits. The outlaws, however.
changed until goods now in the works
can be marketed has weight in some
trades. Whatever the cause, eveu a
moderate change is most cheering.

months.
All of tho trainmen ore of the
opinion that the robbers were ama-
teurs, for during the whole proceed-
ings they appeared nervous and very
much excited, und all of their work
seemed very much bungled.
th • public does not need t
told n^a'tii by these newspapers that
immediately after the election of IV.'
the country began to go to the dogs
that the expectation of the revision of
the tariff disheartened capital and tlis
eouraged manufacturers, and that
these influences conspired to produce
whatever misery may have been expir
ienced in the year just closed. It is u
dreary old harp of one string and has
been twanged and pulled in season
and out.
I'ut just at this time nn \ugusta. tin.,
newspaper, the Chronicle, which has
no motive for misrepresentation, and
which bus an un-llepublican habit of
publishing figures to buck up it ^asser-
tions, cotucs forward to say that not-
withstanding "impending free trade"
the year has been one of great pros-
perity in Southern factories. The mills
nave been running on full time. "With
climate advantages, cheap water power
and raw material at first cost all large
factories have made money und paid
dividends." More than this dividends
from ti to 10 per cent, have hern paid,
and the capital of many of the facto-
ries has been increased. "The divi-
dends of these mills." says the i hron-
icle. "show that the South is the most
inviting field for cotton goods, and
indications arc that in the near future
factories will be started in this
section."
So much for the south. On the same
day comes a report from the cotton
manufacturers at I''all River, Mass
Despite the awful threat of free trade
tlie list of dividends "shows the capital
stock of thirty four companies to be
$5J0,378.000, und dividends averaging
7.tM> per cent, and amounting to 51
340 have been paid during the year."
Taking into consideration the appall-
ing cloud that is said to have hung
over the manufacturers, and the cer-
tainty of speedy ruin that has stared
them for twelve months in the face, it
must l>e admitted that a dividend
within a minute fraction of 8 per cent,
is a tolerably paying investment.
If this is a •cheerless Christmas," ns
the opponents of tariff reform persist
in clamoring, it surely does not appear j
that the manufacturers and the st >ek- (
holders are getting the butt end of it j
ha pest foreign labor t> do their
work at starvation wages howl for e
continuation of the privilege of taxing
the consumers of nature's bounty. It
is the old cry of selfishness. It is the
same sort of bulldozing and the same
old scarecrow that failed of their pur
pose in the last two general cle-tions
The Democruts of the ways and means
committee have not been frightened by
this hubbub and the country will not
be. Rut it would Ik> well if Democrat
ic clubs and other organization**
throughout tlie country, und the pro

for relief the committee has heeded,

JEIIRY SIMPSON FOR FREE TRADE.
The Leidor or the llouie Popullat
Forces Talks on the T. r;fl".
Washington, Jan. 15.—Iu the tariff
debate yesterday Mr. Simpson of
Kansas said that while he intended to
vote for the Wilson bill, there were
many provisions in it which ho did
not approve of. He was not one of
those whoever believed tho Demo-
cratic party, brought to tho test,
would carr/ out its pledges, for ho
knew, while there were honest Deino-
ccats, the action of the Democratic
party, like that of the Uepiiblicausr
was controlled by the money-power,
"The People's party," said he, "stands,
on a platform pledged," as h<? inter-
preted it, "to the principle of free
trade. What I say here to-day in the
discussion of the bill shall be from
the standpoint of a free trader."
lie believed the cause of evii times
could be easily discovered if gentle-
men would divest themselves of party
prejudice. It had not come suddenly,
but had been the result of causes
which begun far in the past and
would have come long ago had it libt
been for the wonderful resources of
the country and the wisdom and in-
dustry of the people. The intolerable
burden put upon the farmer classes
through the indirect system of tax-
ation had been one of the potent
causes which had produced the pres-
ent conditions. The farmers of the
country in 1850 owned pO per cent of
the wealth; 53 percent in 18'iO; n- per
cent in 1880, and 30 per cent in 18"J>.
It, was at this juncture Mr. Simpson
created great applause and amuse-
ment by treating the house to the ob-
ject lesson of his dilapidated over-
coat. lie proposed to show the house
exactly what the poor people of the
country did wear. Reaching down
under his desk he seized a tattered
old overcoat, fringed at the edge and
bespangled with patches, lie held it
on high, while the house and the gal-
leries cheered.
"I bought that of a farmer,''said
he, "who told me he had left homo at
l:j o'clock at night and driven twenty-
live; miles to sell his produce in your
boasted home market. There, as Mr.
Cleveland said, is an object lesson.
[Laughter,] There is a sample of
what men wear under the benefi-
cent system of protection," he con-
tinued. "It is made of shoddy and
rags sec?" Here he ripped it up the
back. "Yet." he added, "I can find
its duplicate on the backs of a million
men in this country."
"Where did he buy it?" asked Mr.
Cannon, representative of Illinois.
"He bought it a year ago in this
city for 88 and I bought hbn another
shoddy coat to take its pla-e for
910. to." [Laughter.
"Is it American or imported?" asked
Mr. Cannon.
"1 don't know," replied Mr. Simp-
son. "I don't care, but it is the pro-
duct of American protection. No one
can deny that." [Laughter and ap-
plause.] Mr. Simpson concluded with
an appeal to the people to ring out the
old and ring in the new order of
things. Many members tendered him
their personal congratulations when
lie sat down.
