DO RIGHT-EINO™ TEAT YOU ARE EACTEL e WHEREISTAND To The Editor Of THEPEOPLESFRIEND It was told me to-day that the report was current that I was henceforth, an advocate of the People’s party. I wish to inform the good people of this community thatlam now. :und ever have been, a Race woman; a Pro ‘hibitionist at heart, always standing on the Republican platform so long as it advoeated and advanced my principles. When Isay 1 am a Race woman, I mean am for the advancement ot my class of people, socialiy and financially, And to do this, first I would say that as a class we ure in no condition to de nounce or support any political organ ization that mav arise. It is an undeniable fact that the Re- publican party did tor us what no oth-{ er partv did or ever ecan do. It s the party that has led in aM reforms: it gave Kansas Probibition and municipal suffrage to women, and although at its last convention led by Marsh Murdock it turned a deaf ear to the cry of noble woman. yet I respect our grand editor, and believe his unjust criticism will do more to foward the cause of woman than any other croaking our noble bird can do: and all black men who desire to benetit their class can no more afford to be indifferent to the appeals of wom an than they can afford to be indiffer ent to the God that made them. Women were the first agitators of American slavery emancipation, and were indirectly, the organizers of the ‘Rtpubli('an varty. They have lived in the Republican party for one genera tion, and now woman asks of you one vote Can yeu for the loye of Heaven, for the love of all that is dear to vou, ,'onn you withhold that one vote, (Yea, ron the amendment;) from these tried ,;md noble women who were vour best 'and trusted friead in the darkest hour Eof necd? Itis the only chance in a life ‘time where a black man’s vote will count one in the progress of the State. Mrs. Johns, oue ot the grandest women in the State, not withstanding the snub she received at the hands of the Republican party, still holds aloft her Repnblican banner under whose folds she belleves the majoritv of the black men are sheltered, and asks you whilst you vote for your princivles of right, to also vote for the amendment. It is also true that the Republican party has not done for the black man all that it could have done; it has sway ed from the principles of justice in this respect; it has ecut loose from Prohi bition and womau suffrage—has coun tenanced wrong and allowed evil-doers in its once Holy ranks, and in so doing it has gained one foot and lost two, yet not withstanding all its misgivings, what party will accept us as we are— ive us a social standing—will hoist yon before you give them a hoist? Before black men were made citizens by rights of suffrage they were power- les to aud the Republican party in any way, That party fought this battle of justice for us and adopted us as broth ers and sisters in this great nation. It was the blood of sable heroes, the wail of theirof widows and their orphanrs that caused the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution of the United States, To-day we have wrongs to be righted ever as great as the white men of this nation. They are our tath ers, we ery unto them for justice and they beat us back with the high hand of prejudice; they fain would ratner stig matize us with the blood of the bonds men who were but subjects of their will. They leave us to suffer. bleed and ‘die; burned at the stake, hanged to a 'tree, riddled with bullets and tortured in every conceiveable manner. The A. R. U. men, the K, of L. and none of the other labor unions have wrengs to be righted such as ours; yet locok with what patience the laborer of the South endures all things, while the laborer of the North strikes even for an imaginary wrong, and these men are petted whilst we are pelted. How long must we endure these things ere the eyes of the nation will be opened and her dark sons and daughters be given a place of honor and trust with equal compensa tion such as fairer ones receive? We ‘are truly a manufactured people; the price of eur bodies was once the COlll-; 'merce of the nation, The foundationi 'stone of the Capitol was contributed by 'slave labor all under Democratic rule: ‘thus I sum it up in this wise: In the ‘davs of Democratic rule we were begot ‘as beings, therefore the Democrats are I?our fathers; the Republicans adopted ‘us, therefore are our fathers by adep lt.ion. The People’s party being across, WICHITA. KANSAS, FRIDAY JULY 9% I hardly know where to place them, but presume they are our half hrothers just the same as the rest of the people. Under these circumstances vou see we are a part and parcel of this nation, made so bv the blood of our fathers, enriched by the blood of our Alrican mothers. Time will cast the stigma where it belongs, But for us as a class, let us honor our fathers and our mothers that our davs mav be long in the land which the Lord our God giveth us. 1 can see no good in jumping from one par tv to another. If per chance you are personally benefitted in any way, it is the result of yourlabor orinflucuce to that party:; but when any party takes a man or a woman of sable skin be- cause of their fitness for a position (not their labor) and places them on a ‘high(-r plane, then they will be doing something lor our Race or class of peo ple. Every true Prohibitionist will vote for the woman’s amendmen, and that party is the one that can do more for the American people than has been done by the Republicans. We as a class must court the good will of all parties, and that clanse in the People’s party platform which reads equal rights to all aud special privileges to r ne 1s a grand sentence and worthy the accep tance ot all true imen. Wi ien are citizens and women must abide v law. then give us justice and grant tant we have a voice in making the law first, last and all the time. We appeal to eyery voter of sable hue: Remember Your friends and vote for the woman's suffrage amendment. EDITORIAL NOTES.

Four Federal Soldiers and Eight Horses Blown to Atoms Many P’ersons Badly Injured Much Prop- erty Destroyed. Flyving Bullets. CaicAaco, July 17.—During a prae tice march of a detachment from Col. D. S.Gordon’s command yesterday. the ammunition in a caisson belonring to light battery I, Second artillery, through some unknown circumstance exploded and caused the death of four and the serious injury of nearly a score of others. \While moving down Grand boulevard. near the corner of Forticeth street, without a moment's warning, the caisson exploded. Whuat the cause of the explosion was no one seems to know, but it is supposel that the plunger of one of the Shrapnel shells slipped and the powder slipping lowx from the shell was exploded by fric tion. The houses on both sides of the street for two bloeks were shaken on their foundations and window glass broken to pieces. The street was lined with people watching the troops, and how any more were not killed is a miracle, as shells and pieces of the caisson were thrown in all directions. There were eizht battery horses literally blown to pieces by the explosion. The wounded are all doing well and are at Mercy hospital. The troop left Brighton park fora long march around the city to exercise the horses. Everything went smoothly and there was no incidents until the column marched south on Grand boule vard and was just crossing Oakwood boulevard. Then a terrific explosion occurred. The men on the caisson, supposed te be Donovan and Doyle, were literally blown to pieces, and others were thrown many feet by the violence of the concusion. Four of the horses drawing the caisson fell in their tracks, shot throuzrh and horribly mangled, while four others were blown 50 feet ahead against the trees on the boule vard. dyving instantly. The caisson was blown to pieces. not a piece larger than a man’s hand being found. The boule vard looked like a battlefield. There was a quick series of explo sions after the first report, and shrap nel shot rained like hail among the trees on the boulevard, m}d pierced the surrounding dwellings. 'The concus sion broke every window in the houses for blocks away. The walls and roofs showed the terrible effects of the ex plosion. The rear part of the caisson lay scattered over the ground. It was some little time before the two dead artillerymen could be found. One of them, mangled beyond recogni tion but supposed to be Doyle. had been blown over a board sion 25 feet hich and was found in the va cant lot behind it. One leg and an arm were gone. The other man. sup posed to be Donovan, had been thrown about 300 feet diagonally to the right. and was found in a vacant lot near the Lake Shore tracks. Joseph Gaylor was found near where he was struck. Great damage was wrought by the explosion to neichboring property. Windows in most of the surrounding houses sustained much damage, it be ing estimated at $lO.OOO. AN EIGHT-HOUR DAY. Benator George Introduces a Resolution Prescribing a Legal Day’'s Work.

Before 11 o'clock Debs came down from his cell to meet Stenographer Benedict, of the American Railway union, who had arrived with a bundle of mail for him. HOWARD MAKES CHARGES. Vice I'resident Howard, of the Amer ican Railway union. said: This is going to be a test case. We don’t consider ourselves bizger than the law and, in cidentally, we think the raiiroads are not. We are getting some evidence for the coming lezal battle and we consider it of a pretty fair grade. Here is a letter I have received telling of _evidence that most of the freight car burning here in Chicago was done by twge raen in the employ of the General Malagers association. One of the secret agents or a cer tain committee saw two men on the night of the big fire goiug through the yards with a handcazr loacded with inflammable waste which they lichted and systematically threw among the cars. This avent overheard a conversation be tween the men from which he gleaned that they were paid 2200 down and were to receive 330( more when the job was done. This. under stand. was before the troops were called out An effort is now being made tc arrest these two men. We further have pretty positive evidence that the big man who led the mob of 5,000 at Blue Island was a Pinkerton man c¢m ployed by the railroads. and it is signiticant that although he can be easily identified. vet he has not been arrested. It is safe to say that this case will not be entirely one sided. A BAD SON DONE FOR. A Young Man Tries to Kill His Father with a Gun and Shoots limself. NoRTHFIELD, Mass., July 19.—George P.

CANNOT AGREE. Ihe Tarif Bill Conferees to Report a Dis- agrecinent. WasHINGTON, July 19 —Senator A. P. Gorman, of Maryland. holds together the protection elament of the senate democracy and does not hesitate now to azain serve notice on the house tariff reformers that unaler no eircum stances will a tarist biil pass the senate if the surrender Dbill be tainpered with or the main sched ules be shorn of any part of their trust enrichine powers. He antd his “*conservative” associates holl the McKinley bill up 2s a threat. and promise that it sha.l be continuel in undiminished eiffzct unless raw ma terials carry a tax and unless the sugar trust is permittel to collect from the people an extra cent on every eizht pounds of surar. That is the whole situation in a nutshell. On both sides enerries have natural lv been directed to the main points in lispute. It is given out that there has been no agreement on any point, but agreements as to rates and details would be swiftly reached with sugar and free raw materials disposed of. Meanwhile remarkable rumors gain currency touchinz the old sugar sean dal. There is even a fair prospect that the special commiitez will reopen its inquiry to examine into them. Davis and Alien have voted to do so and Lodge's vote is expected to de cide it a: aocainst Gray and Lindsay’s nezatives. If it should be discovered, as is chargel in round terms. that one or more of the ‘“‘con servatives™ commnitted perjury before the investicatins committed, perhaps the influeneces obstructing tariff legis lation will lose something of their ei fecetiveness. It is said that the conferees will re port a disagrecment in toto to-morrow. It will be very brief anl! will not g into any details.

FOREIGN FREE TRADE. ‘fhe Tariff as a Protection to Domestlce Manufactures. In the United States an internal rev enue tax is essentially a war taxz. Three times the government has had to resort to it, each time to meet the extraordinary expenditures and debts created by war. In each case it pro tested a purpose to abandon such taxes as soon as the state of the pub lic finances would permit. This spe cies of tax has always met the most determined opposition from the peo ple and has always provoked bloody conflict with the public officers. At the close of thie revolutionary war an internal tax was adopted, which pre cipitated the Shay rebellion and was very suvon abandoned. Again, at the close of the war of 16812, it was tried, and after a few ycars abandoned as prosniised. The present system was adopted during the civil war, the enormous ex pense and debts of which compelled a resort to every possible device for rais ing money and with the most solemn assurances that it should be aban doned as soon as practicable. This pledge was faithfully kept in view by the republican party while in power. All taxes on cecupations, on incomes, on iegal and commercial papers, and oun manufactures, except spirits, beer and tobacco, have been repealed. And it is the pledge and the intention of this party to keep its promise and abandon the whole internal tax system as soon as practicable. But the government must have money with which to meet its vast ex penditures, and this money it must de rive from some form of taxation. And from the beginning of the government it has been our policy to derive this money from customs duties. The tariff is a tax on foreign products brought into our country to be sold in our mar kets. It is the only form in which we can make foreigners who enjoy the protection of person and property given them by our laws, and who have the profits of trade in our markets, contribute to the expense of maintain ing them. And so, the second law placed on our statute books, by the first congress of the United States, was a tariff. This tariff was avowedly adopted for the two-fold purpose of af fording revenue for the treasury and protection to domestic manufactures. And the principles of this act, pre pared by Madison, advoecated by Ham ilton and approved by Washington, is still the republican shibbolith. We are for a tariff for revenue, so adjusted as to protectour own manufactures and thus furnish employmeut for ourown laber. Our political opponents do not stand on the same platform with us. In spite of constant denials, in spite of the warnings and opposition of individual leaders in their own ranks, year by year they are growing bolder and bold er in their advocacy of free trade. This t oubted doctrine of the and back to this @osition they are steadily drifting as the inevitable re- 1 sult of their fundamental doctrine of state rights. In 1848 their national platform declared ‘‘that the fruits of the great political triumph of 1844 have fulfilled the hopes of the democ racy of the union in the noble im pulse given to the cause of free trade by the repeal of the tariff of 1842, and the ereation of the more equal and pro ductive tariff of 1846.” In 1856, they again declared, ‘“the time has come for the people of the United States to declare themselves in favor of free seas and progressive free trade throuzhout the world.” During the rebellion dewmocratic doctrine burst into full flower as applied to revenue systems by a provision in the confed erate constitution prohibiting their congress levying an import duty for the encouragement of any industry. And since the war, each tariff bill they have prepared goes further and further in the direction of their free trade theories, until now, in the Wilson bill, we are challenged to a choice between the two fundamentally different sys tems of external and internal taxation. This biil cuts down the tariff, equally rogardless of protection and of reve nue, and proposes to supply the defi ciency by a return to the income tax, and an extension of other internal taxes. We are at the forks of the road. It is no longer a question of tariff for revenue only, as against a tariff for protection. Itisnowa tariff for a de ficiency and a permanent adoption of internal taxation {for revenue. The democratic ery of ‘‘tariff reform,” “‘a tariff for revenue only,” is demon strated to be insincere. Its true mean ing is, ‘‘free trade in foreign goods, and internal taxation to supply the revenue.”’ A BRAINLESS PARTY. Democrats Lack Even the Elementary Principles of Statesmanship. It is becoming very evident, if there was ever any doubt about it, that {here is not room in the United States for two protectionist parties at the same time. The democratic party must have discovered this before it framed and adopted the Chicago plat form, and by various devices, some of them not particularly reputable, made their opposition to protection win in 1892. No sooner, however, had they undertaken to put their free-trade theories into practice than they found nearly the whole coun try arrayed solidly against them. The very fear of what they might do created a paralysis of domestic inaustry, 2 withdrawal of capital, and a shrinkage in the de mand for labor, accompanied, neces sarily, by a reduction in wages. Then the democratic party grew frichtened at the demon it bad involved and fled for refuge to the fortress of protection. But instead of knocking at the gate and demanding entrance, it climbed over the walls and sneaked through the wickets, and even when inside de nied that it had asked shelter of pro tection and asserted that it still ad hered to the banner of what it called tariff reform. We are strongly in favor of educa tion, but we maintain that congress is not the place to teach would-be states men the elementary principles of statesmanship. Some little knowledge of everyday affairs, some little power of reascning, some modicum of com- morn sense is necessary in congress. The proper place for this party of im becility is the lower grades of the pub lic schools. They need scme little foundation of brains before they at tempt to bandle serious questions.— San I'rancisco Argonaut. f DEMOCRATICCAMPAIGN FUNDCS. Facts Brought Out in the Tammany In- vestigation. During the consideration of the tariff bill in the senate a few weeks ago it was charged that the sugar trust had contributed largely to the democratic campaign fund in 1892. Figures have recently been furnished by the New York democratic newspapers, and authenticated by the Lexow commit tee, which warrant the statement that a democratic campaign fund has been usuuzlly raised by other methods than tkat of personal contribution. The following figures are authenticated by at least five of the leading New York papers as the sum raised in one year from the following sources: From disorderly h0u5e5........ cceee... $8,120,000 Enam SpIOBNS. L L el s siees 182000 Hrompambiing houses. ........c.. 165,000 From merchants and peddlers.... 50.000 From new members of the police force. 60,000 Making a grand total 0f...........510,215.000 These figures will in a large meas ure explain matters to those who have been skeptical with reference tqQ the use of money in the elections in New York city, by which Tammany con tinues its power, and all etforts to de throne it have been futile. In 1892, when so much was expected from the city of New York in sustaining Tam many against the arbitrary candidacy of Grover Cleveland, it, was thoucht that a break would be made, but here is seen the silent force which must bind together Tammany and the can didate of the demoeratic party, no matter what the conditions may be. Tammany was not in a condition to repudiate anything. Those who read in the future of democratic campaign funds have only to seek an opportuni ty to read the full reports made by the committee above referred to, which no doubt will soon appear in book form for the edification of the student of American political rconomy. BENEFITS OF PROTECTION. A Reliable Source of Revenue for Govern- mental Purposes The Canadian parhament has been convulsed with the question of protec tive duties, almost equat to that of the national congress of the United States. Very truly have the friends of protec tion in Canada said: ‘lt should not be forgotten by our electors of Canada that when the liberal party ask them to abandon protection to home indus tries, they are asking them to do a thing whieh the people of every other country in the world, with the single exception of Great Dritain, have re fused to do.” Sir John MeDonald is quoted as hav ing said, upon a certain occasion: ““The American farmer raises his one hundred bushels of barley and starts for his market and receives one hun dred dollars. The Canadian farmer raises his one hundred bushels of bar ley and starts for the American mar ket and is met by the government of ficer to whom he must pay fifteen dol lars, before he can put it upon the marlket, where he receives his one hun dred dollars, so that he returns home with only eighty-five dollars, having left the other fifteen dollars with the American custom house officers.” Pro tection compels Canada to pay tribute to the United States. What is said in the foregoing aptly illustrates the workings and methods of protection throughout the world. The people of the United State are now beginning to realize the truth of this practical method of raising reve nue, since the whole country has been thrown into a panic for nearly two vears by the promised change in the bill now before congress POLITICAL DRIFT. {F The democratic party is all sugared with the same stick, from the sugar-cured administration down.— Philadelphia Press.

A MIRACLE IN MISSOURL The Achievements of Medioce’ Science Far More Wanderful Than the Magic of the East. The Remarkable Experience of Post Mas ter Woodson, ¢of Panama, Mo.—Fao? Ten Years a Cripple—To-Day A Well and lHHearty Man. [F'rom the Kansas City Times.] The people of Rich Hill, Mon.. and vicinity, have recently been startled by a seeming miracle of healing. For years one of the best known men in Bates and Vernon coun ties has been Mark M. Woodson, now post master at Panama, and brother of ex-State Inspector of Mines C. C. Woodson, of this city. The people of Rich Hill, where he formerly resiced, and of his present home, remember well the bent forin, misshapen almost ‘rom the semblance of man, which has painfully bowed its head half to earth and labored snail-like across the walks season after season, and when one day last month it straichtened to its full height, threw away the heavy butt of cane which for years had been its only support from total helplessness, and walked erect, firmly, unhesitatirzly about the two cities, people looked and wondered. The story of the re markable case has become the marvel of the two counties. Exactly as Mr. Woodson told it to a Times reporter, it is here published: “ITor ten vears I have suifered the tor meats of the damned and have becn a use less invalid; to-day I am a well and hearty min free from almost every touch of pain. Idon’t think man ever suffered more acute aad constant agony than I have since 1584, The rheumatism started then in my right knee, and after weeks of suffering in bed I ‘was at last relieved sufficiently to arise, but it was only to get about on crutches for five vears, the ailment having setiled in the joint, Despite constant treatment of the ‘most eminent physicians the rheumatism grew worse, and for the last four years I have been compelled to go about bent half toward tue ground. In the winter of 1s8)- 91, a’ter the rhicumatisin had settled into its most chrounic form, I went to Kansas City ‘upon advice of my brother, and for six weolks Iwas treated in one of the largest and best known dispensaries of that city, but without the slightest improvement. Befere I came home I securcd a strong gal vanic battery, this I used for months with the same result. In Auguvst, 1892, I went i to St. Louis, and there conferred with the |widely known Dr. Mudd of hospital prac tice fame, and Dr. Kale of the city hospital. None of them would take my case with any hope of affording me more than temporary relief, and so I caine home, weak, doubled with pain, helpless and despondent. About this time my attention was called to the account of a remarkable cure by Dre Williams’® Pink Pills for Pale Pcople of locomotor atuaxia, rheumatism and paral ysis .lordered someof the pills 25 an ex periment. When I began to take them, the rheumatisin had developed into a phase of paralysis; my leg irom the thich down was cold all the time and could nct be kept warm. In a shorttime the pills were gone, and so was the cane.
