Senator Hill Urges Democrats to Work for tho Ticket The Trailing lotirt of tha rrralilrntlsl Atily IIUimu.piI iy tli Knted Nrw Vork stalm. mnn. At Buffalo. N.

on the night of Septemlier 34, Senator David 11. Hill delivered speech of the present campaign to a great nndience composed of leading democrats of the city and state, His reception at the hands of the vust assemblage was warm and demonstrative, and there was complete unanimity between the Hill and Cleveland followers. In his speech on campaign issues Mr. Hill spoke in part as follows: "I am hern to-nluht lo aid In the promotion of the drmiKTHtic principles and to advociim the election of Grover Cleveland aim Adhit E. Strvensnn.

No npoloKy or explanation Is need-ed for my course. For over ten years It has been my custom st each unniial election to tip-pcur H'fure my fetlow eltlaens and contribute ray share toward the discussion o( the political questions ot the hour. You did not helievo that tills campaign would prove an exception to tho usual rule, and you are not disappointed. Among honorable men the loyal discharge ot political duty outweighs ull minor considerations, and in this crisis ot our country's history and in this grent emergency in our party affairs Individual disappointments or even alleged personal injustice should lie subordinated In the falthrul performance of political obligations, not as a mero matter ot expediency, but from a high ami stern sense of duty. "1'ennlt mo to suggest that we havo all of ns now a mission to fulfill.

Petty jealousies must be dismissed, regular organisations must be respected, party discipline must bo enforced, dissensions must he healed and npalhy must give way to enthusiasm In order that tiio grand old parly to which we are proud lo belong may secure the triumph of right principles nnd work out tho noble destiny which ought surely to await It. The control of this government lor many years to come by one or the other of the two great political parties is the prize at hazard In the pending conleit, in which all other considerations should sink into insignificance. These arc not merely formal words, Intended to arouse the lethargy or to soothe tho wounded feelings of earnest friends, but are a fit supplement to the sentiments which I 1iad the honor of expressing before the democratic state convention ut Albany, In February last, immediately after Its action unanimously instructing the delegates from my native state to present niv niunc as Its tlrst choice to the approaching national convention. "I then said: 'And now you must pardon me while 1 run counter lo your feelings to say that the choice of your next standard-bearer Is a matter of the very least importance, being trimly subordinate to that supreme object a democratic national victory next November. "1 meant what 1 sairl on that occasion, and I reiterate It now.

The test of true democracy Is the support of regular party nominations, irre spective of questions of personal pride, one's own nmbltlon or individual preferences. "The discussion of political topics 'upon the as It Is popularly termed, is a question not confined to this country, hut largely prevails in (ircat Hrilain, where even the virtual head nf the government, tho premier himself the venerable Gladstone ovi wiyears of age, regards It as a duty, not in conflict with the dignity of his position, to appear before the people, face to face, and advocate the principles of the liberal party, which he always so warmly espouses when Its inlen are believed to be In peril. The recent inisirtant victory of that parly in the parliamentary elections was due not only lo his magnificent leadership everywhere, but particularly to his able and powerful exposition of liberal principles upon the hustings. The necessity of this method of campaigning, however, Is not so apparent in these enterprising days of printing presses, telegraphs and stenographers, when the address of a public mnn delivered yesterday at a particular cliy in a far-distant community Is spread broadcast before the people in almost every hamlet in the land on the following day. In this reading and thinking age and with these wonderful facilities for disseminating information, the utterances of public men on occasions of this character may well become more infrequent.

"Tho two great political parlies are divided upon thrt subject of federal taxation. Vnjust taxation Is tho essence, of tyranny. It annoys the rich, it robs the poor, It interrupts business activity and fosters public discontent. The American revolution was largely produced by a little tax upon tea hich our forefathers refused to pay. They Incurred the perils of rebellion and the pains of outlawry rather than submit to unreasonable taxation.

The best thought of the American people may well be engaged In devising the most equitable and comprehensive scheme for the proper distribution of the burdens of government. "The subject becomes yearly more important a the expenses of administration annually increase. How shall the enormous exjienditures of the government be provided for? llow shall its necessary revenue be raised? It is conceded by both parties that the best nnd easiest method of realising tho needed revenue is by taxation upon foreign Imports. It is also admitted that a few Internal taxes should be permuted to exist, but that the main and. principal revenues should be derived from Hie Imposition of tariff duties.

lTpon Mils point there is no substantia! division or sentiment. "It is true that there are some extreme men, now ostensibly acting temporarily with Hit democratic party, but who do not control Its policy or who are opposed to all tariff taxation and favor direct taxation as the best means of meeting our national expenses in substantially the same manner that our state taxes are ralaed. There can be no reasonable doubt that tariff taxation will continue to lie the permanent policy of the government, notwithstanding the opinions of those siiicere but Impracticable theorists who advise Its abandonment. "The dispute between, the two parties arises over tho extent, effect and objects of our taxation. Shall tariff taxatlfm be Imposed for revenue only, or shall It bo used for the purpose of fostering private industries? This is stating the question as fairly as I am capable of doing It The proposition Involves the power of the government, the true purposes of taxation, the propriety of tho exercise of the two methods proposed, and the results produced hearing upon the taxpayer and the country.

"Tne power ef the government to raise revenue bj tariff upon imports Is undisputed, but Its constitutional power lo Impose a tariff foe any othei ostensible purpose is questioned. In my address In Brooklyn the other evening I presented the arguments upon which the democratic party Insists In Its planform that a tariff lmpoaed for any other than a public purpose Is in violation ot the constitution and I do not care to repeat them here. I do not regard the question as a practical one, by reason of the difficulty of having it properly raised. The conclusive and sufficient ob-leetlon to a protective tariff Is that II is an abuse of the taxing power of the government; il compels the whole people to pay tribute lo a few; It Is system based upon Injustice and unfair discriminations and tends to build up monopolies. "The democratic position Is so plain and reasonable that he who reads may understand It.

It bellovea that the true nnd constitutional purpose nf a tariff is the raising of necessary revenue for tho support of the governmenl-tnd that Is all. lt the tariff be high or low aa the needs of the government may require, bet it not be so high or low aa to create a turpliw In the treasury. The place for surplus tuxes Is in the pockets of the people and not in the ted-tral treasury. "Th republican position Is that the government ahotild use Ita power of taxation to build up private Industries by placing tariff rales so high that they will absolutely prohibit fore gn Importation or provont any serlona competition with such Industries. The republicans believe that the oueitlon of revenue should be a minor consideration in the forwatlon of a tariff bill, and that the fostering o( some Industries should tie the primary one.

They shut Ihelr eyes to Uio.fact that they are unnecessarily Interfering with the natural laws of trade. "They Ignore the value of foreign trade or assume to believe that foreign countries will trad with us although wo purchase nothing from them. They forget that reciprocity cannot be onesided. They appeal to the selHshrfcss ot the people and to their natural Jealousies of and animosities against foreign countries srguments nf the republicans In support of thl system are Inconsistent with each other, tbey that a hlih nrotectlvo tariff keeps tap pricc snd tn soother bream thst It roflucci mem. i "Vou toy your money and tl; your versatile and scenmmo- 4tli.tt IS their snf uml hi this fespeet a wo kcB samlnto eormltu to kW qualifications was ashed the question: 'Whether the world was round or repliod that It made no difference to him-that he would teach that the world was round or flat just as the immllt-'e "I am willing tn conned that tho first or Immediate effect of high tariff upon a new industry Is usually to increase prices nnd stimu-late business, but this effect Is generally followed by undue competition occasioned by the very success Incident to the favoritism shown: then overproduction results, then a stagnation of business ensues, and In the en there incs rcuiiciion or wages, a fall In prices and l.snk ruptcy to many industries.

"This isa faithful picture of the evils of protection drawn rom tho business history ot 'his country for over seventy years. It is the it.i.'.tr-al result of governmental interference. In private affairs, lnr, blunders incident to a paternal government nnd of the fully of attempt, ing to control the natural laws of supply and demand. Stimulants to business through tariff favoritism an-as unsatisfactory as the continued uud inordinate Indulgence of Intoxicating liquors by man. The tlrst effects are pleasant enough, hut ihe inevitable general result Is disastrous failure and litter ruin.

"A gentleman once said that he liked to get drunk well enough hut the trouble arose In getting sober. Usually the more stimulants a man Is accustoms I to use the more he needs, and so in business, Industry which lias grown up under the fostering earn of a paternal government never seems to bo strong enough to permit Its withdrawal without a disastrous and humiliating collapse. Why should the government by tho use or abuse of the taxing power of the government attempt to build up industries whero Ihe private enterprise and private capital arc not willing to accept the risk Why should the whole people be unnecessarily taxed for half their lives and compelled to pay extravagant prices for certain manufactured articles, In order to got them somewhatcheapcr during the other halt of Ihelr lives' "Why should the government, at the exponas of all the people, offer special inducements to a few to embark upon a particular business In a field where men of genius nnd enterprise have of their own accord refused to enter? 1 do not believe that our American manufacturers require tho protection which the republican party seems to tin so anxious to foist upon them, especially If they were provided with free raw materials, ns the democratic party proposes to do. We are already underselling foreign manufacturers in most or many of the markets of tho world, and if we can compete with thein abroad, especially in their own markets, there would seem to be no real necessity of taxing our people longer in order to enable our manufacturers to compete with foreign ones at our very doors. "Neither Is the pretense any longer available that protection is absolutely necessary because of the difference in wages paid In this and foreign countries.

It Is true that wages are higher here than abroad, and the democratic party, which has always upheld the dignity of labor and which is largely composed of worltlngm-n, rejoices In Ihe fact, and tolerates no policy which would tend to reduce them. Hut if American worklngmcn receive higher wages II Is nlso true that they perform better work than those abroad: they are 'better educated: they Hike a deeper and more intelligent interest In their labor; they own their own houses; thry are entitled to the elective franchise and are In every way better qualified to produce manufactures which can bring tetter prices and which are so excellent that they can at the same time successfully compete with the rest of the world. "All that America needs Is a free field and a fair fight In the race of life and she win prove invincible in nearly every department of human tt.vlty. Ills a narrow and contracted view, however, that seeks to keep our from contact with the commerce of the world. The republican orator who boastlngly asserts that the United States can raise and manufacture everything wo need, that foreign commerce should not be sought affr or foreign markets considered, nnd that our Americun farmers sliould be content with home markets and home prices, and that we can and sliould be iudepen dent of ull the rest of the world my gratify the selfish and false pride of his hearers, but he only exhibits his ignorance of history and his lack of comprehension of the true sources of genuine prosix-rlty.

"We should not ndopt nny policy of administration which excludes the idea that there is more of this world lhan Ihe United Slates, and we should understand that wu do not monopo lize, all the wealth, the industries or the proa, ucts of the world. "Our policy should be dictated bv an en' lightened self-interest, which comprehends the wants, needs and capacities not only of ourselves, but of the people everywhere. It Is the favorite claim of our extreme protection friends that a majority of the people are more or less, directly or Indirectly, interested in the alleged benetlts claimed to be derived from a high protective tariff, and that only a com paratively small portion of tho community really object to a continuance, of the system. "They are pleased to assert that If the gov ernment generously sees fit to Increase the wealth of a single manufacturer in a city the other citizens of that city are likely to receive some sort of a benetlt from the prosperity of their more favored neighbor, and that they ought not to complain of the discrimination. The advantage which the other citizens secure Is so very remote.

that Ihey can hardly be expected to appreciate dt, especially In view of Ihe fact Hint the government has col lected from them a portion of the bounty which It. has bestowed upon their more fortunate neighbor. It may be that a comparison of the nmounts collected from them with the alleged benefits received will show a balance upon ttie wrong side of the account and prove the system In 'he end to be a very expensive Injury. "It is pruhalily true that if every business man In a city Is required tn pay a tax of one dollar annually to be put in the pockets of some large manufacturer employing a considerable number of men, It might add something to Ihe general prosperity of the city, provided the subsidized manufacturer should expend Ihe contribution In advancing the wages nf his workmen or In expanding his business, but the benefits realized would be so slight, ns well as precarious, and the schemq is Inherently Improper that the experiment would be unsatisfactory. "Hobbery is none the less objectionable, even though the whole people receive an equal share of Ihe booty.

Every honest community should protest against such an Iniquitous system, and the policy of 'addition, division and silence. while It may he acceptable to republican! In Pennsylvania, will not bo adopted by honest men elsewhere. The oft repeated stattment that In every protected country the whole peo ple receive some share of the bene Ills which are ostensibly received by a few has never been satisfactorily established and Is Impossible from the nature of thitigs. "Public taxation cannot make a whole com' niunlty rich. There must inevitably be inequal Itles.

The game of pnker was once recommend ed to a gentleman as a game In which every hodv won something. He tried it-nnd he knows more than he did. He found that if anybody won anything some one else had tn lose. So tn uffairs. If few men ac quire wealth without earning it.

hut through the favor of paternal government, It must Of at the expense of the great body of the taxpayers. If it is a salutary principle that legislation sliould be so framed as to accomplish the great est good for Ihe greatest numlier Ihe protective system cannot have legislative sanction, hut the claim that Ihe masses are especially Interested In Its preservation Is not supported by facts. "As we glance over our great country how few do we find of the protected Industries and occupations ns conipnred with tho unprotected ones. How few jieople there are compared with the treat mass who can eay that Ihey are con- scions that they receive the least particle of benefit, dlrcclly or indirectly, In their various occunatlons from the system which the repub lican party for so many years has forced upon the count ry against lis will. I say 'forced' upon Ihe country, because you will recollect that in IKHH ihe maturity of the popular vole repudiated this doctrine and emphasized their disapproval In thunder tones 111 IfiKi.

"How vast are the number people engaged in various occupations who. If their own selfish interests were alone to be consulted, would be deslmus of being relieved from all tariffs, be cause Ihey have nothing to he prelected and m-cfer to mirchase everything as cheaply as possible, livery sort of a tariff is a burden to them, and, white ihey nowciieeriiiiiyeoniriunie their sham loward Ihe support of the government, their selllsh interests would be promoted by free trade, or at least by some other method of taxation. "Tho great masses of the laboring people, of Ihe country have nothing but tneir moor io sen, and labor Is upon Ihe free list. Their real Interest lies In securing reasonable, wages and in purchasing everything which they buy ot Ihe cheapest prices possible, and hence liny kind of a tariff la a burden and not a beniilt lo them.

Our answer is that no publli question can be deemed settled tn this countrj until It has been rightly settled. It ts true that a senate at present blocks the dool to all tariff legislation. Time will change the senate if It refuses to respect the popular wiH. Our opponents have always deprecated a discusion of the tariff sub Ject When the people ten years ago were de maading relief from war taxes in time of peace, the republicans urged that any change would disturb Ihe business interests of the country nd ahould lie prevented.

When, later, there was a surplus of a hundred millions in the treasury hich was still rapidly accumulating, there was the same refusal U) alter the situation. They wanted the tariff taxes let alone for Ihe benefit of those beneficiaries win were ac- cuiniilatlm? enormo is fortunes at the expense of the people. "1 he agitation cannot he stopped until tariff reform shall be triumphant. Mr. Itlaine's reel-procily scheme is Inadequate to furnish tho relief the people seek, Free trade with a few insignificant South American states, while tho harriers to commerce with all the great European countries nro allowed to continue, will not be accepted as a solution nf the question.

It is merely a tub thrown to the whale' in the vain attempt lostop the progress of tariff reduction. The last step which the republican party look in the direction ot centralized govei-nmi nt was In the attempted enactment of the offensive and iniquitous measure now known a3 tho Davenport forte bill. We must diligently exert ourselves to op pose this great Issue of centralization which oertaltily confronts us It presenIB a mnre se rious problem than any commercial, industrial or llnanclal question, moro vital to our coun try's futu'o welfare, more essential 'o the preservation of our institutions.

THE YELLOWSTONE SPRINGS. Changes In the Appenrnnee of the Colored Terraces Ht the Nstloiml I'ark. Visitors to the Yellowstone park who return after an absence of a year or more are generally surprised by finding that many changes have occurred in the appearance of the colored terraces nt the Mammoth hot springs. Indeed, such alterations occur sometimes in a period of a few weeks. The terraces consist of a scries of basins, each set being a few feet lower than Its predecessor, and the hot water from the springs nt the top of the terraces (lows from basin to basin, depositing its chalky sediment at the rims, where evnporntion is most rapid, and thus slowly building them up.

Whenever the flow of water continues constant for a considerable time, the fluted edges nnd sides of tlia basins become beautifully colored. The variegated hues arc mainly due to vegetable matter, and so if the flow of water ceases these bright colors rapidly fade, leaving the terraces milk white. In a little while the edges and walls of the dry basins begin to crumble, ml the most beautiful forms disappear in white dust and clutlklike fragments. One of the favorite terraces at the hot springs, called tho Minerva terrace, exhibits these changes in a marked degree, because of its conspicuous position. Sometimes, owing to failure of the flow of wilier, the Minerva terrneo parts with its splendid colors, nnd resembles a set of fluted basins carved out of snow-white marble.

when the water begins to run freely ngaid the colors return with all their former vividness nnd beauty. The changes in tho flow of the water seem to depend, in part at least, upon conditions prevailing in the heated rocks underlying the wonderful terraces. Youth's Companion. A FORTUNE IN The GOLD. Hero of a lteniarkiible Test ot the r'rench Novel.

In more tlinn cne old romnncc tho hero is represented ns disinterring a great fortune in fold coin or nuggets, and carrying oft the same in his pockets or on his back. A French novel, published in 1889, tells us that the young lover, an athletic youth of some twenty-two years, not only pockets a half million in gold, but boars away the lady of his affection at the same time from those who are animated with the triple desire of taking his life, detaining the lady and obtaining the store of precious metal. Romance has its privileges, as poetry has; but it is a wholly intolerable stretch of probability to conceive of a young gentleman-even were he a graduate of one of our most advanced gymnasiums bearing away with him, at a rapid run, both half a million of gold and the substantial person of his lady love. Recently a treasure-train started from San Francisco to New York, loaded with twenty millions in gold eoin to be deposited in tho vaults of the. sub-treasury building of tlfe latter city.

The gold, weighing some forty tons, was distributed upon four cars, the whole guarded by thirty-five or forty armed constables. The train reached Jsew.York safely, and the vast load of wealth was carted in express wagons, each bearing two guards, to the treasury vaults. Romance aside, we can easily calculate what pace the ardent lover of the novel would liBve made, bearing his lady in his arms, and a ton of metal in his pockets. Ileino rest A CHOCTAW TRADITION. The Indian Idea of tho Immortality ot the Soul.

From their earliest traditions the Choctaws have been taught to believe in a life after they leave tbis world. They believe that the spirit, the moment that it leaves the body, is compelled to travel a long distance to the west, until it arrives at an immense chasm, at the bottom of which flows a very rapid, rooky, and danerons stream. This terrible gorge, which is surrounded on every side by great mountains, the soul has to cross on a "long and slippery pine log, with tho bark peeled the only passage to the "happy hunting grounds," whicli lie beyond tho dangerous bridge. (In tha bank of the stream, just on the other end of the log, there always stand six persons, who have reached the "happy hunting grounds," und who throw sharp rocks at whoever attempts to cross the treacherous log the moment the middle of it is reached. Those who have lived properly, according to the Indian idea of morals, have ho trouble in crossing the log; the stones fall harmlessly from them, mid and they reach the "happy liiintlnir grounds," where there is perpetual day, without difficulty.

Eiiie, Oct. 1 Four young men, ranging in ages from 20 to 25, armed to the teeth, entered the Keystone national bank Monday afternoon and ordered Cashier Frank V.

Kepler and Clerk Charles Licbel to throw up their hands. The cashier, instead of complying readily, began to protect the cash, when of the men (John Courtney) began firing on him. At the same moment W. Hawlex, fired on Licbel, whila Daniel i Evans and Charles Smith covered the doors and back offices. While Kepler rushed- up with a heavy weight to brain his as-snilent, he received a shot in the face which felled him.

Courtney emptied a revolver at the prostrate cashier, who recovered sulliciontly to drag himself to tho vault and slam the door. Although empty-handed, the bank robbers rushed out, and liberating a team, started it mndly down the street, thereby diverting the attention of the people till they ran almost a square. John Seidler, a pedestrian, had heard the shots, and, seeing the men run, followed, keeping them in f-ight till Patrolman William Doehrel enmo up in a buggy. Doehrel closed up on the lleeing burglars. As ho gained on them they opened lire on him.

but missed their mark. lVhcn within a few rods the officers ordered tho quartet to halt, and, being wounded, they obeyed and threw tip their hands. The officer, with the assistance of Seidler, brought the prisoners back, although threats of lynching rang in their cars. When searched ten revolvers were found. All but two were loaded.

Tho bank robbers admitted their crime, and said they were broke and had determined, after making an unsuccessful attempt to get a bogus cheek cashed, to rob the bank.
