ber of large excursions out of Portland

but The Dalles was the first place he
had ever visited where so large a num
ber had been able to find accommoda
tions for dinner. He concluded that
this must be a thriving and productive
country, and that The Dalles could
boast of a lot of landlords who were
built on a broad gauge plan, fully re'
alizing the appetizing effect of a ride
up the river.

FELL. UNDER THE CARS.
A Han Seriously Injured While (Setting-
off a Ureas Beam.
When train No. 2 arrived here at
1:15 Saturday and stopped in front
of tbe Umatilla House, a man who had
taken a ride on a break beam from
Portland, attempted to alight, and
just as he got off the beam the train
made a move a few feet forward so that
he was in some way caught by the car
and doubled up in such a manner that
threeof the lumber verterbrse were
broken. The cries of the injured man
brought assistance and he was pulled
from under the car before it was again
started. He was carried to a room in
the Umatilla house where he was cared
for by Dr. Hollister. His injuries are
very serious, and his recovery is doubt
ful.
The man's name is John M. Hamil
ton, and he has not the appearance of
a regular tramp. He was accompanied
by his brother, George Hamilton, and
they claim to have been headed for
Butte, Montanna, in search of work.
The latter says they came from San
Francisco, and when they got on the
train at Portland, expected to get off
at Umatilla. When they heard Uma
tilla house called, they thought they
had arrived at Umatilla, and proceeded
to get off. The one that was injured
was under a car pretty well toward the
front of the train, and not being an
expert, had some difficulty in getting
off the break beam, while his brpther,
who was on the rear car and more ac
customed to that manner of riding got
off easily. The accident is one that la
liable to happen at any time to those
who travel on brean beams, and one
which the railroad company could not
avert.

Cut Down In Her Prime.
At the home of her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. E. K. Russell, in this city, at 2:30
Saturday, Jennie, wife of Wm. Rufeno,
breathed her last, surrounded by sor
rowing friends and loving relatives,
Scarcely ever has a sadder bereave
ment been thrust upon any family in
The Dalles than this, or a death occur
red that called for more universal sor
row. ' A naturally amiable woman
loved and respected by all, and a bride
of only a month, cut down just at the
beginning of what bid certain to be a
useful life, is an affliction that is
cruelly thrust upon frail humanity to
bear.
Jennie Rufeno was born in Oakland,
Cal., November 3, 1874, and with her
parents and one brother came to The
Dalles about seven years ago. On
April 18, 1897, she was married to
William Rufeno. After the marriage
Mr. and Mrs. Rufeno spent a few days
visiting his parents in Portland, when
they returned to this city to establish
for themselves a home that but for the
reaper death would have been a happy
one. Though fate had not this in
store. A week ago the young wife
was taken ill with a disease that baf-.
fled the most skilled physicians. Dur
ing her seven years residence in The
Dalles deceased won many friends, in
fact to know her was to love her.
Vivacious, happy, a good conversa
tionalist, she readily drew friends
around her, and when friendship was
established it was retained.
Mrs. Rufeno was-a member of the
Degree of Honor, being recorder of
Fern Lodge at the time of her death
also a member of the Eastern Star and
Woman's Relief Corps.
Bida for Bonds Opened.

A Protectionist Who Voted for the Ding
ley BUI But Does Aot Endorse It.
The house being in committee of the
whole on the state or the union, and
having under consideration the bill
(N. R.. 379) to provide revenue for the
government and to encourage tbe il
dustries of the United States.
Mr. Howard ol Alabama said:
Mr. Chairman: I shall vote for the
pending bill, not because I am so fool
ish as to baliove that we can make the
people rich and prosperous by taxing
them, but because I believe in the
broad, patriotic principle of protection
to American industry and American
labor.
I shall vote for this bill, not because
I believe that it is a panacea for the
ills from which we sutler, but because
it, in some measure, protects Amer
ican labor against the pauper labor of
other countries.
My greatest regret, Mr. Chairmar,
however, is that the republican party
proposes such slight relief to the peo
ple who need so much; that the clatror
of the idle mon, the moans of starving
women and wails of helpless children
are to be answered alone by this tariff
bill, which at best can scarcely uflford
them a surcease of sorrow even for a
brief period. The entire nation is ter
ribly afflicted.
In biblical language, "the whole
head is dead, and the whole heart is
faint." And yet we, the doctors called
in by the people to prescribe for the
patient, have so poorly diagnosed the
case that instead of prescribing a rem
edy which will drive disease out of the
body and heal every member, have
discovered only a pimple on the face of
the patient and are busily engaged ap
plying our patent nostrums to this
pimple, while disease, like a Vsrrible
canker worm, gnaws into the vitals of
the body.
We may be able to heal the light
pimple which we are doctoring, but if
we fail to go to the root of the trouble
and eradicate the germs of disease the
patient will die.
I grant you that this bill will afford
a modicum of relief to the manufactur
ers of this country a .breaking spell,
80 to speak, before they are compelled
to take the final plunge into bank
ruptcy and ruin.
we may protect them for a season
against the manufactured products of
the pauper labor of other countries
but if we do no more than to enact this
measure into law, the time will speedily
come when tbe foundation of the struc
ture which we are building will crum
ble away and tbe whole fabric will fall.
No truer words were ever uttered
than those spoken by the great and
patriotic Lincoln, when he said:
"lAbor is above capital. It is prior
to and independent of capital, for cap
ital could not exist were it not first
created by labor."
But we are endeavoring to protect
and build up capital, losing eight of
labor, hoping that when capital pros
pers, when the millionaires grow fat
off the labor of the masses, when they
have piled a few more millions into
their already bursting coffers, that
some good spirit will prompt them to
unclap their greedy Sbylock hands and
allow some of their prosperity to drop
down on the common herd below.
We have reversed the natural order
of things and placed capital above
labor.
Labor sits at the gate of Dives, gaunt
and hunfcry, clothed in sackcloth and
ashes, licking its sores, watching for
the crumbs to fall from Shy lock's table,
which the very dogs refuse to eat,
Labor crawls in the dust and squirms
like the blind worm beneath the iron
heel of capital, but it says in its rage,
"beware my fangs are not yet drawn,
and I will turn and sting those who
trample upon me."
You may protect the manufacturer
all you please, but unless you give us
proper financial legislation, destroy
the trusts and monopolies, and curb
the arrongant power of the railroads,
the day is not far distant when the
looms in your cotton mills will be si
lent, and the cotton of the world will
be manufactured in China and Japan,
and your factories and furnaces will
become the dwelling places of bats and
unclean birds.
In these countries we have danger
ous rivals along manufacturing lines,
for labor can be obtained at a nominal
cost, and goods can be transported
through the Seuz canal and landed in
New York at $6 per ton of 40 cubic
feet. This is less than our generous,
patriotic railroads would charge for
hauling the same quantity of freight
across any one of the larger states.
You may attempt to protect the
wheat grower against the wheat grown
in India, Siberia and other countries,
but when you consider the fact that in
western Siberia, for instance, superior
wheat is grown by labor costing 19
cents a day in seedtime and 28 cents a
day in harvest time, on land rented
from the government of Russia, which
costs $2.25 per annum for 40 acres, you
may well' feel appalled at the task
which you have undertaken.
Against thid wheat and these cotton
and other manufactures of these coun
tries we must compete in the markets
of the world, and that, too. when most
of these wages can be paid in silver at
double the price of its bullion yalue
with us, thus practically affording our
rivals a bounty of 50 per oeqt over us,
You seek to protect the manufacture
er; but what are you doing for the cot
ton farmer of the South and the wheat
grower of the West? Neglecting them;
allowing them to languish ana die. This
bill is intended to proteot the manufac
turer;- but I tell you that we can hot
long compete in the marts of the world
with China, Japan, India, , Russia and
Egypt. I tell you that our home mar
ket must languish unless our people
are able to purchase the manufactured
products of our mills and factories, and
that they cannot purchase unless they
have money with which to buy; that
our farmers, growing wheat at a loss,
corn at 15 cents, and cotton at 6 cents,
will beforoed to curtail their purchases
of manufactured goods from -year to
year, and that in consequence the
manufacturing industry of the country
will suffer dire consequences.
It has become the fad to talk of pro
tection to capital and capital is doubly
protected and doubly remunerative to
what labor is and yet tbe labor of
yesterday is the capital of today.
What we need to do is to protect,
doubly protect, not the labor of yester
day which has become capital, but the
labor of today and tomorrow, which
is the wellspring and life blood of the
nation. .
But the modern theory is that we
should protect capital and allow capital
to protect labor. God save the mark!
The protection which capital affords
labor is the same kind of protection
which the hungry wolf gives the
innocent lamb.
We have built up an aristocracy of
wealth, venal and corrupt. For year
it has been protected and fostir-jr",
n 1 what has it done for labor?
Go to the coal mines of Senate r
Mark Hanna and ask the careworn
men who earn 75 cents a d:ty and live in
hovels where the plutocrat would not
house his horse. Look into the sad,
listless eyes of the wives of thfso
miners, and read your answer there.
Go to the factories of the Kast, where
men, women and children work from
ten to eighteen hours a day at starva
tion wage, Hid huddlein poorly venti
lated, ill-smtlling rooms and read the
answer there.
Go to the cotton fields of the South,
and the corn and wheat fields of the
West, where men labor and womea
toil, where children stay away from
school and barefooted share fie bur
den of the farm work, and read the
answer there.
' Go into tne 5,000.000 home? where
there is not enough to eat from year's
end to year's end, and there read the
answer.
Go to the recorder's book and look
over the list of mortgaged homes and
there you will find your answer.
Go to tho almshouses, where old
men and women jabber in senile idiocy,
and read the answer.
Go to the 2,000,000 tramps who wan
der up and down the face- of tbe earth
with no place to call home, out of work
human wrecks cast forth upon life's
great pulsing sea and read the an
swer.
Go to the graves of the suicides and
there read the answer.
Go to the half million women and
girls who have been driven to lives of
shame by the boasted capital, and read
your answer there.
What tus capital done for labor?
Go to the railroads that stand like tbe
highwaymen at every crossroad of
commerce and order the public to
stand and deliver, and if you are wise
you will find your answer.
Go to the Vanderbilts, the Rocke
fellers, the Goulds, tbe millionaires of
the land, who have grown rich off of
the toil, the sweat, the groans, the
prayers, the tears and blood of labor,
and you will find an answer there.
Capita has made slaves, abject,
helpless slaves, of more than 20,000,000
of our fellow-men.
Capital has ground the faces of the
poor, robbed the toiler of his bread,
gathered all the wealth into the cof
fers of a few, and now stands like
greedy, grasping Shylock of old, de
manding his pound of flesh.
He plunges his knife into the bosom
of labor to cut therefrom his pound of
flesh, and at the sight of the bleeding
victim the masses cry aloud against
the terrible outrage, and the minions
of capital shout, "anarchists! cranks!
fanatias! fools'"
Tbe people are told that tbey must
calmly and patiently submit to the
fetters which are being forged for
them, and that if they protest, if they
do not quietly submit to slavery, they
will disturb the business of the coun
try and do great violence to capital.
But, Mr. chairman, the revolution
ary war disturbed business.
When the gallant Lafayette was told
that if he took part in the war which
our forefathers were waging for free
dom it would disturb business, he did
not act the craven's part and idly fold
his hands, as we are doing', while men
men ! are being butchered and wo
men outraged, as is toing done in
Cuba, for fear that we may disturb
business, but he came to our rescue.
When 3.000,000 black slaves were
pleading for freedom, Wendell Philips
and William Lloyd Garrison were told
that their agitation would disturb bus
iness; but, fearlessly and undaunted.
they raised their voices in protest
against the foul blot on our civiliza
tion until tbe slaves were freed.
Today there are more than 20,000,000
white slaves in this country, and when
we dare plead for them we are told that
we are anarchists that we will
business,
And what business Is it that we will
disturb? The business of Shylock!
The business of the men who are reap

Yes; it would, perhaps, disturb their

I know that it ia not popular in some
quarters to agitate this question to
demand justice for the laboring people
of this country. I know that the pub

lobby as it haunts the corridors and
committee rooms of the capitol, swarm
ing like a horde of cormorants, foul
and unclean, leaving its leperous spots
wherever it touches, will not wonder
that we need more revenue.
The lobby has ingrafted itself onto
the lawmaking department of our gov
ernment, and its breath, like the
dread simoon of tho desert, leaves
blight and ruin in its wake.
If we stand so much in need of rev
enue, we can easily raise an additional
sum of $30,000:000 by placing a tax of
$1 a barrel on beer.
Why do you not propose this in your
revenue measure?
Because the lobby is against it. Be
cause it would offend the wealthy brew
ers of the country and England, and
this you dare not do. Because the
great American house of representa
tives is too cowardly and too weak to
defy this powerful organization.
The republican party has a great
opportunity. It comes into power af
ter four years of democratic misrule
and blundering. Will it bring relief
to the people? Or will it follow in tho
wake of Grover Cleveland, the lone
fisherman of the whito house, tt.e Isaac
Walton ol modern democracy, and go
down with him and his party to a dis
honored grave, "unwept, unhonored,
and unsung?"
Will it strike dowc tho trusts and
monopolies? Or will it rather foster
the growing evils which threaten tho
very existence of our republic?
When I see tho republican party
cowering and cringing in the presence
of tbe evils which surround us and tbe
dangers which threaten us, I feel like
exclaiming: "Oh, for one hour of
Abraham Lincoln, that he might im
bue you with the spirit of his match
less patriotism!" '
' The people have suffered long and
patiently. As their burdens have
grown heavier, they have only groaned
beneath them, until at last, well-nigh
crushed to earth, theycryaloud against
their oppressors. But as sure as truth
is eternal, as sure as God is just, they
will throw off the yoke of s bondage,
and woe be to the Pharaohs who at
tempt to pursue them across the Red
Sea of thei.r deliverance.
The night of waiting has been long;
the darkness has been appalling, and
sometimes almost overpowering, but
labor, educated labor, dignified labor,
has caught faint glimpses of tbe dawn,
and shoulder to shoulder, heart beat
answering to heart beat, it has caught
step to the music of an enlightened age
and is marching toward the rising sun
of progress, whose earliest beams will
blaxe the pathy of glory to universal
prosperity, and on its banner is em
blazoned this motto: ,
Press ! Surmount the rocky steeps ;
Climb boldly o'er tbe torrent's arch !
He fails alone who feebly creeps;
He wins who dares the hero's march !
Be thou a hero! Let thy might
Tramp on eternsl snows itn way.
And through the ebon walls of night
Hew down a passage unto day.

And that tbe same press
will bark like a pack of hell-hounds at
the heels of the man who dares stand
up for the.rights of the masses. But I
tell you here and now that labor is
going to have its day in court. It. is
knocking at tbe door demanding a
hearing, and it will not take "No" for
answer. m
Labor is tired of wearing pauper's
rags while the garments it has fash
ioned are worn by those who are not
entitled to them. It is restless as it
languishes in hovels Btanding in the
shadow of palaces which it has built.
The people have asked for bread,
and we have given them a'stone; they
have pleaded for fish, and have been
answered with ft serpent.
And how has capital done this? By
making money so scarce -and so dear
that it robs the people of all the fruits
of their toil, to get the pitiful dole
which Shylock measures out from his
greedy fist.
This bill is entitled: "An act to
provide revenue for the government
and to encourage the industries of the
United States."
It seems to me, Mr. Chairman, that
we are too muoa exercised about pro
viding revenue. We already have an
abundance of revenue if we only exer
cised common honesty in its expenditure.
Has it ever occurred to gentlemen on
this floor that instead of seeking new
avenues through which to squander
the people's money it would be infi
nitely better to try and economize and
save some of the money wrung from
honest toil9 " ,
When hunger and want stalk abroad
in the land, it Is a sham4 and a dis.
grace for the American congress to
squander the hard earnings of an oyerr
burdened people.
Unly tne other day we passed an ap
propriation bill carrying: more than
$53,000,000. and allowed only forty min
utes for debate, and no right of amend
ment! A bill filled with jobbery and
steals! A bill so infamous that its
stench fists to heavy!
No wonder that we are continually
needing more revenue.
