IT is a great pity that the workingmen of this country did not see in 1U2 -that a vote for a change wheu the highest prosperity existed was a vote to take bread from their own mouths.

We have always advocated the idea of buying nothing abroad the like of which we can make or raise in this country. Even though it might in a few cases enhance the price for a time, we agree with .letlerson, and insist on giving that additional employment to our own people and keeping that amount of money at home. If wool was sellinir at 40 cents per pound to-day and every farmer had a tlock of sheep, as he would have at that price for wool, the value of a suit of clothes would be enhanced only a dollar, while at the same time the income of every farmer would be enhanced from S100 to S:i00. Tins amount of money distributed uniformly among the farmers of Indiana would be considered a godsend at the present time.

POL1TK.AI, CAl'ITAL.

LIKE a fish at a worm, a few papers are grabbing at the Pullman strike for •political capital. The Artitut-Xcii's says this unfortunate condition of allVirs is all caused by protection. If there is a tariff placed 011

passenger, freight or

street cars it has thus far escaped our notice. If the Arytu-Xetr* believes the doctrines it announces why don't it go into the business and make money as it claims Pullman has done. He started into the business about as poor as one can be and has done as much for the country as any man in it. lie has built a town of many thousands and furnishes labor for several thousands of laborers who were idle before. If they are idle now, they are in no worse condition than they were before, and many hundreds of them have homes paid for during the lime they have worked for Pullman. Will any one say that anything that will build a town like Pullman, is not a good thing to have'.'

JTJtlC DK.M AUOUV.

The Arrjiw-Xvivx takes a tilt at Pullman. his town and his industrial plant and denounces the man as a "protection prince," the town as the "best example of protection in this country" and the plant as only "another protected industry with a strike on its hands," and makes the demagogic statement that the men who work there are "human eaitle. white slaves." (jeorge M. Pullman may be a protectionist and probably is, but so far as his industrial plant is concerned it cannot be classed with the so called tariff taxed industries." The product of the Pullman shops is not on the tariff list. The shops at Pullman are among those "unprotected industries" which Democrats have so long pointed to as examples of the uselessness of protection. In common with thousands of others of like industries they have shared in the indirect benefits of the protective policy. The fact that the 5.810 iusurers at Pullman until the commencement of the very serious depression of last year were receiving 8305,000 a month, an average of over §52, and had on deposit in the Pullman Savings Panic SlSs.OOO, is ample evidence to show the falsity and the demagogy of the statement that Pullman owns them body and soul or that they are human cattle or white slaves.''

WHICH wn.r, IT lil-.f

.A HIGH protective tariff has always lowered the price of wool. The higher the tariff the lower went the price. THE JOUK.NAI, has dropped the wool question, evident^- satisfied that free wool is the proper thing.—Alynx-New*.

With all respect that is due the writer of the above paragraph, we are still constrained to say that there is about as much twaddle in it as one would hear from a lot of ducks about a mud puddle on a rainy day. The Arijwj-Ncws and the Democracy in general, have always insisted that we should have cheap wool in order to have cheap clothing. If wool gets cheaper the higher the tariff goes, why does not the Arr/wi-Neirc advocate a high tariff on it in order to make it cheap? A week ago we asked the Ari/itx-NcwH what a person had to advocate in order to be a "representative" Democrat. We got no answer. We now ask it if it is in favor of cheap wool, and whether it will favor, in the coming campaign, a high tariff on it in order to make it cheap. We await the answer with pleasure. We want to know whether we are to have cheap wool made so by free trade, or made cheap by a high tariff. If the position of the Artjux-Ncwx is true what becomes of the Democratic axiom that1 the tariff is

CHAPTER IX.

What a strange, wicked sentiment is that of avarice! The thirst for wealth will turn brother against brother, father against, sou—separate man and wife.

Tho story told by the dying hunter I '"'V TU'W had been received by Harkins and Tay- I '', lor without question. He had said the™

was gold enough for both, but does one ever get too much wealth? If there were

millions to divide neither wanted to di-

vide it.

the hunter called thein in to give liis dying statement.. They had left the dead body hating each other. To lie just, however, it should be said that Harkins 1 had less avarice and bitterness than Taylor. He was better educated—he 1 had the refining influences of his danghter Bess—he had less hope of being able to come at the great store of wealth. Indeed, he sometimes argued that it would be best to give information to the Whole train and let all share alike and be satisfied. Had Taylor met him half way in his advances he would have choked down the spirit of selfishness and forced himself to feel that the half would content him.

But Taylor, who was a single man and a rough specimen of the American fron-

and ill will. Ho looked upon the Englishman as a robber. He would never consent to divide the gold with him. Ho might have to share it with others, but never with him.

"TTcnrc parlti, old man—half ami haV on that gold." When the train wai attacked the presence of peril drove away all other thoughts but that of defense, but only for a few hours. The thought came to both men after a time: "Suppose he is killed and 1 spared! A.11 will then bo mine?" Oarkius went no further than to indulge the wicked thought. Tajlor looked about him and whispered to himself that if opportunity came he would fire the bullet himself which should make him solo owner of tho contents of the cave.

Men who have been drifting in midocean on a bit of wreckage, suffering with hunger, thirst and exposure, and having not the faintest hope of rescue, have vet planned wicked and revengeful things.

When the last charge was made Taylor had the Englishman and his daughter on his left hand and only a few feet away. Under cover of tho smoke he deliberately fired upon them, hoping to kill theni both. One of his bullets grazed the girl's 6lioulder and another went through Harkins' hat, but Providence willed that such a monstrous crime should not be perpetrated. Taylor had no sooner made the attempt than a sudden thought brought a smile to his face and he sinote his breast and muttered: "Fool that I am to have forgotten the contents of that box! Let them live! Let them go with me after the gold! Let them aid ine to securoit, and thenthen"

He had attempted murder. He was planning something far more horrible than that.

It was midnight when the train reached the forks of thn Cheyenne and went into camp. From that point it ionly sixty miles to Custer's peak in the Black Hills. It was thought best to remain in camp for a couple of days and relit and recruit. i~ne major in command of the cavalry was an old Indian fighter ana plainsman, and before the camp broke up he called a general consultation. He impressed it upon one and all that their safety forbade breaking up into smaller parties than ten or twelve men. The Indians were thoroughly aroused and alert, and while they might be repulsed occasionally they would he almost certain to overcome small detachments of gold seekers. No camp must be left unguarded by day or night. No man must relax his vigilance for an hour if he wished to preserve his scalp.

A portion of the troops would remain at the forks for the summer as a rallying point. The other half would follow the south fork of the Cheyenne up tc the neighborhood of Harney's peak and there form another camp. They might make occasional scouts, but they would not be strong enough to defend the people rushing into the country.

The major's remarks resulting in a general reorganization of the train, many of the hunters who had come thus iar with the soldiers had now to band /together and depend upon themselves. Out of all three parties were organized and put under the leadership of good men. The first party consisted of the old captain of the train, Joe, Harkins,

Taylor and seven other good men, Be^L^ulett.

going ol oourso, hut not u^urnm in nuuioriciil strength. It luul bwu agivnl: beforehand that tho men shouM be drawn by lot, ami it was a curious bit of fate that drew both Harking and Tavlor for ono party when both wro earnestly hoping to be separated. There were enough to give the other parties equal strength or a little more, and each and every man was sworn to siipjwirt and obey the chosen leaders. A fair division was made of weaj)ons, amnmnition and necessaries of life, and each party selected its own route. In the first party all were agreed for Custer's I peak, while tho other two decided to strike in farther to the west.

On the third day all the parties moved, and within an hour after the first waixon pulled out the soldiers had the camp to themselves. It was tho same sterile I country that had been met with on tho other side of the river, cut up by the I same dry gullies and confused by the

Bame monotonous ridges, and each party, now that it numbered so few, realized its peril more fully as it went forward,

The distanco between the river and the foothills was covered in three davs of easy traveling and without actual sight of a redskin, although signs were

mind, but Taylor's demeanor soon gave him relief. The man was elated, good natured and garrulous. He had not 1 been drinking, for tho oniy whisky in camp was in charge of the captain but he acted greatly like one who had a 1 glass too much. Not a word had passed between them about the treasure since I they separated over the old hunter's body. They were scarcely clear of the 1 camp when Taylor slapped llarkins on the back, extended his hand for a shako and exclaimed:

He had been wounded and Taylor had been killed.

As tliey penetrated into tho mountains, closely scanning rock and soil and occasionally stopping to investigate, they chatted like the best ot friends, and Harkins reproached himself for his harsh opinion of the man. He appeared warm hearted and fair minded, and when ho magnanimously offered to take Joe into the secret and let liiin share alike with them, Harkins wondered how he and Joe and Bessie could have been 80 mistaken.

CHAPTER

"Outlaws and rencgadesl"

Taylor had been deliberating and plan ning Bince leaving camp, and he hal firmly decided to assassinate Harkins.

It was a golden opportunity. The two were alone, far from camp, and who was to deny any story he might tell when he returned without his partner? With Harkins out of the way he was the sole possessor of the golden secret.

Taylor's change of demeanor should have put the Englishman on his guard, but it had the opposite effect. The warnings uttered by Bess and Joe were forgotten, and the man reproaclied himself witli the thought that he had unjustly accused one \vlio was that very moment thirsting for his life.

Dinner being over, Taylor was ready for action. His face was pale, his hand's trembled and he could not control his voice as he said: "Yoti examino that ledge over yonder, while I bear off here to the right a bit I won't go far."

With an "all right" oa his lips Harkins shouldered his rifle and moved forward without a look behind him. Reachimg the ledg# he leaned his gun against It and began to investigate Hejnoved to of the

He could not make it out, and 1 after waiting a few minutes longer he moved down the ravine to a spot where ho could ascend the bunk, lie worked his way up with great caution, and when he had a clear view of the ground above there was nothing in sight to increase liis anxiety. He had expected to behold 1 Taylor's dead and mutilated corpse, but 1 nothing of the man living or dead met his view.

Harkins kept his place of observation for a quarter of an hour, and then boldly climbcd out of tbo ravine to make an investigation. The first thing he saw was his un, which had been tucked away under a cedar bush. Ho walked down to where he believed Tavlor stood

He was compelled to bear to thQ left to avoid obstructions, and when I10 had covered half the distance he suddenly found himself on the brink of a canyon. It was a wild, gloomy chasm in the hills, and so dark at the bottom that he could make out nothing. Ho kicked 1 loose stone at his feet into the gulf, ami it went sheer down seventy-five feet before it struck with a dull thud.

The lakes and rivers and mountains I and valleys are wonderful things in na-! ture'a handiwork, but tho canyons are more wonderful still.

Noon came. "Tho fool!" whispered Taylor, as they made ready to sit down and eat a bite. "I've played him like a fish, aud now to wind him up! I'm going to fix him so that he'll bother me no more! He's going to be shot by the Indians, while I'm going to miraculously escape!"

awful roar of tho hurricane sweeping a I continent, the crash and explosion, the trembling of a world! 1

And deep down in these awful rifts there is ever darkness—ever midnight. The water drips and drips and drills with sound so monotonous that a li.imau being would be driven insane in a day. No serpents crawl there—no living thing can endure that grininess and solitude. The grizzly bear—the king of terrors—shunned and dreaded by a)' and hating all, makes his lair in these drifts, but goes back only to the edge the shadow cast by the sun. He fears nothing living, but he l'ears that darkness and silence.

Harkins followed down to the edge of the canyon, and after half an hour's walk he came to thespot where it began, and this permitted him to make a descent to the more level ground. As he stood for a moment looking up the rift it seemed to him as if he had seen the place before. This was, as he reflected, impossible, but a sudden idea made him almost gasp for breath. "I am about five miles to tho right of Custer's peak,"

For a moment Harkins was filled with »uch alarm that he was ready to bolt up the ravine. Then came the thought that he had been standing very quiet for some time past, and that had his movements been heard tho owners of the voices would have attacked him, if enemies, or hailed him, if friends. He argued that his presence was entirely unsuspected, and this being tho case his curiosity was aronsed to know who was so near him. He crept forward on hands and knees, hearing the voices more distinctly each moment, and at length he reached a spot from which he could see what was goiti" 011
