HE Arizo n a deserl stretches from Tuc- son to Tuma , and to the southard God only kn o ws how far. It is a gray waste of sand , and its few ragged raes- quite bushes and grostesque cacti is to vegetation onl y •what a p icture is t o a real landscape. They sa y that ev en cauuot live ther e. snakes an d lizards cauuot live there. May b e becaus ? of the awful desolation and hideous dangers of this country the story is believed that s omewhere beyond the desert there is g o ld more than would inake a wh ole Nation rich. Is it a relic of the supers fitition of the time \when leadles s men and fire-breathing dragons .j were thoug ht to guard treasures that men always believe gold is most p l e ntiful ¦where thirst and death threaten? A. few days a j ;b two men came back to Tucson out of the desert. Thef found u e gold and they are gaunt and fever . wasted , but they came back alive and they are thankful for that. J. A. Van Boni and Martin Waer. both of Tucson Cit y, are the men. They knew what they were und ertaking, for th ey have be en on the desert before , but j with all ^\ their precautions and experience , their bones i s - onld h ave made another patch of white on the sand but for the iroa streng th and endurance ' of the younger man , Waer. ' About th e middle of J T ay Van Horn a nd Waer decided to take a tri p down to Sonora lor the . purp ose of obtaining a bond on a mine. They had heard of some rich, mines in the mountains neni tiie line on tbe American side , and they decided that , after getting a bond on the mine in Sono ra , they would continue their j ourney to these mountains , to see for themselves whether or not the reports circulated were true. They left t hi s ci ty on May 22d , at two o ' cloc k on Sunday morning, in a li g ht \ wagon, drawn by tw o good horses. They had two k egs of water with them— ten gallons for the horses and five for themselve s. They carried an abundance of provisions , inc luding a good supp l y o f canned goods. They went from Tuc- son to a mining camp known as Quijo- toa , and from there they proceeded to Sonoita , a small villag e on the Sonoita Biver , in Sonora , near the line. They exp erienced no difficulty in reaching this point , and a fter remaining over ni g ht they m a de their way to a p lace called Q uite Vocquita , which is situated on the line be tween Arizona and Sonora. Then they went into the wilderness to look for the gold . They had to cros s El Tula , the approach to the Garden of Hell. ; Th ey were aware that they had not water enoug h to make the trip, but c her had been on the desert before and k new a water hole at the b ase of El Tula Mount ains. They would be a few hours out o f water , but that is nothing \ trhen gold lies beyond. So they dr o v e o ver El Tula , past the ^^ J s tjalr eds of rock y m ounds—each show- in g -where a gold seeker had lain down to die of thirst- and m adness—and-on to T riiere the unburied skeletons dot]: the roa d. \Wh en men get as far as tf s they ^ _ , 1tc » no time to bury others/ But Van - H on T and Waer had seen m6 u ndsf $ aa , skeletons before ,, and ^ ! f^ v % ' j the1nrno - a ^ eij ^^ t their_ water kegs went dry i eve s e arlier ih s n they expected , and all - ' £ «y, _ 4 hey traveled without water , and -Very 'thirsty they— -were before they r reached the rising giound that hid the \ wafer bole. ^ • ' i . At l ast they were there. They broke ' -throug h h e th i ck clump of mesquite that marked the only water for miles. They sfood o a the ed ge and looked , Van Hol l and Waer side b y s ide an d behind 'fhem-the quivering horses , with their lot , i nflamed nostri is . At the bottom ... of the natural tank was a patch of cake 1 \ cracked yellow earth. The water hold ¦ was dry. T he me n kne w o f a n other water hole seven or e i g ht miles further on around the mountain. It was sunset , but there was nothing to do but make the other tank. So they urged the wretched horses on. For two miles ti je rvas j on ground its way throug h t tt P g and; Slowly they went , and more l at last the hor ses stopped and l on more.

At the end of two days he decided that his companion had perished and tried to save himself . Both came out alive and both are here. This is the story of his wanderings Waer told your correspondent: \I looked back &% I passed around the point and saw Van Horn crawl under the wagon. That was the last I saw of him until—but let me tell you about it as it happened. \When I got near the tank I tied the horses to a bush. They were wild for water and . £ was afraid they would break from m e and founder th e m sel v es a nd foal tbe water into mud. I mi g ht have spared myself the trouble. The water hole was dry. These water holes are not living springs , you know , but merel y basins that catch the water that drain from a hill and hold jt. There was not much rain last winter , and the evapora- tion had sucked from the ground the last drop of moisture . \This was serious. I knew those horses could not go another day without water , and without the bosses—I would not allow myself to think beyond that. \I got the horses and struck off across the dssert again. There was a line of mountains twenty-five miles away, and I expected to find water in some of the cannons. The horses began to groan after a bit. I never heard as pitiful a sound before , and I hope it is the last time I ever hear it. \Then one of the horses held back. 1 tried to lead him , but he dropped to his knees and then lay over on his side. I was terrified , but 1 worked and got him up. A hundred yards further on the other horse lay down. So it went. Then ni ght came , but I did not dare to stop. There was no question of grit at all , onl y I knew that it was either push on or lie down and die. I reached the mountains before daybreak , but could find no water. When the sun came up I could not travel , for the heat made me so dizzy that I could not walk. I lay under a bush all day. \ God , how I wanted water; just a spoonful , a drop. Several times during the day I tried to travel , but I could not , for the desert and the sky whirled before me , and down I'd go. About sundown blood began to ooze from the nostrils of one of the horses , and he soon died. Then the other one went the same way, and I was alone in the desert. \Fortunatel y, th e la y o f t he land was familiar to me. I knew the Gila River was not more than forty miles from me , and as I had traveled nearl y that far from Van Horn , I determined to make the river. If I went back to him without water I knew it would be all up with both of both. He mi g ht live until I got help. So away I went: my head was li g ht , and things swam before me , but I made good progress. I removed every stitch of my clothing, with the exception of my shoes , and started out. I did not stop one \ mome nt , but kept ri g ht on. I did not think of getting tired. I was crazy for water. It was two o ' clock in the morning when I reached the river. I drank and thanked God . It was the sweetest water that ever touched my li ps. \After drinking all I dared , thoug h I felt as if I could drink the river dry, I put on my clothes , filled my canteen , and started for a ranch house a little way up the river. It belonged to a Mexican. I asked him for the use of horses and a wagon to go for Van Horn. He told me that his horses were not fit for the tri p, that they would die before they had gone half way, but that there was- a ranch about ei g ht miles further on , and the man there mi g ht assist me. . \I ran as fast as I could , for I knew that, every moment counted. The fellow would not do. anything, but pointed out another ranch house about three miles up the road , and told me that he thoug ht the Mexicans living there would help me. I saw that this man , after hearing about Van Horn was sure he was dead , but did not li ke to tell me so. \When they heard my story at this last p lace , however , they air once hitched two mules to a wagon and also saddled two horses. Two of us rode the ani- mals while one drove \ the mu le3 attached to the wagon. It was the fifth day after I left Van Horn. We started in the morning and reached the wagon at 1 o ' clock. Oh , the bixury of that ride ! It was ho t and dusty, and my horse ' s gait was not the easiest in the world , but the awful thirst was not there and I was not alone. As we rode over a patch I had trarer - ed afoot the day befqre ^ it seemed impossible thati t Jiad . b ^ enVi s Oi lpfig l ah S - sui fe rci sjo i mucfi ^ ' : }; V : 5 ' v ¦ J / ^ . fe- v * W« i ^ Horn ' ffas t not : there. ^ On/ /the wagOnseat were two notes writit ^ tt ,;b y, ^ n p iom i ' j> j One * ^- adSi K S ^ ; . .j ^ V v :in e ^ statingjthat he V hn g^ come to t ^ e- : ;oii n- ; ' cln s dn ^ ih ^ l ^ i l ' - p^ b ^^^ d VH ia ^l j e I^l fecaed V^ thV last p fe 8 : where ' he had got water. The othe>*-6ne directed what- should be done with the wagon. One of the Mexicans stayed with the wagon. With the other I took up Van Horn ' s trail. For tw el ve miles we- followed it without finding any trace but his foot- prints in tbe sand. It was awful. Unless Van Horn had rea ched water hehad been without, anything to drink for five days. I dreaded to look ahead , lest I should see him dead there. At last we found 4ns blanket, fifteen miles further on- ni g ht overtook us. We did not dare go : . on for fear of losing the trail. The moon rose in a coup le of hours and we ^ pushed - on . We did not speakanuch , as w . ^r ent ' along.

Van Horn was nob the first who soug ht the shelter of the mesquite brush that shaded the arroyo. Near where he was found was a bi often do wn wagon with the skeletons of four horses. In the shade of the brush wer6\ iour human skeletons. Van Horn ' s story was their storv—only no rescuer came to ' t hem in time. It was days before Van Horn could tell the story of those days he waited for Waer. To-day for the first time he narrated his experiences. He was ei ght days without water. \ * \ ; \I waited anxiously for Waer s return the first day, \ said Van Horn. \At last nig ht came and I was thoroug hl y alarmed. When day li g ht broke and he had not returned 1 made up my mind that he had perished , but I decided to wait a little while longer for him. I had no water , but fortunately there was plent y of canned fruit in the wagon and I used that. At the end of two days I came to the conclusion that Waer was dead , aad decided to return to the last watering place we had left. I wrote two notes and left them on the seat of the wagon, aad then started out. I carried too many thi a ™3 along, and could not travel fast. \The first day I made twelve mi les. I traveled at ni g ht , for the sun made me dizzy. The next ni g ht I was beg inning to get weak , and wheu I started I left my blanket under a bush in order to li ghten my burden. \ That ni ght was a terrible one. My supp l y of canned fruit gave out , aad toward moraine I crawled no less than four miles on my hands and knees , drag- ging my things along with me. I was searching 1 for a ' ni gger head , ' the leaf of the cactus p lant. About day break I found oue. I shot several holes throug h it , and with the barrel of ray rifle broke the leaf off. I cut pieces off with my knife and chewed them. I got my hnnds full of thorns , but I did not mind that. There was moisture in. the flesh y leaf , and it seemed to allay my thirst. \During the day I remained near the ni gger head. To ward evening I dragged myself upri g ht with the hel p of the mesquite bush , and looked all around , hop ing to see something living. My gaze was arre3ted by a line of low hills on the southern horizon. \I was startled by their resemblance to a man ' s face. It seemed to be turned directly toward th s sun. I was weak and dizzy, aad I almost fainted when I saw the features chauge before my eyes. The corner o£ the mouth seemed to turn up and the eyes wrinkled. I knew I was going mad . Madne s 3 comes before d eat h on the desert , you know. I sta red at the hills. The great face was dis- torted with a hideous grin. I thoug ht a mal i gnant g iant was laug hing at my suf- ferings. I knew I was crazy, and I held on to the mesquite bush Ie3t I should x un out on the desert shrieking and dash my brains out against a rock. The hor- : ror of it all drove the dizziness from my brain . Then in an instant I saw that the grin was simp ly a ravine in the hills which the sun. made prominent , and the ' wrinkles about the eyes were ' eaused by the same combination of lig ht. v * < ; .,. , .. . \It was a relief to know I was sane. \Along about two o ' clock in the morn- ing I heard a peculiar noise. I roused myself and listened. It sounded lik s a mule braying. I fired ray rifle , but hea foT nothing more. I fired again. Then j heard a shot. A gain I fired , and th a t time thert was another shot and Wa W r hallooed. I was not so far gone that j could not recognize his voice. I raiseq myself on my elbows and tried to rep l y t but I was too weak. I remember say in g something, but what I don ' t know. I? a little bit Waer was.by my side.

The-great tariff debate of the Presi- dential campai gn was ^- opened in the United States Senate fi y Senator Aldrich in a speech unrivaled for its condensed and . forcib l e a rray of facts , its cogent and in di s putable deductions and its con- vincing proofs of the benefits of protec- ti on under the Mc ^ ttp ley act to all classes of workingmen « P d , especially to the fa rmer. VisL ' - ' - The efforts of M ^ Cleveland and ot s ome of his followea a ti 4 evade the tariff issue a ud to disavSv ^ the Chicago free trad e p latform will meet discouragement in the frank declaratio n : - by Senatpr ^V e s t , of M i ssour i , who made a strident but weak effort to rep ly to the Rhode Island Senator , that one-half of the Democratic p a rty has accepted th . e ; * issue as between free trade and protection and he would \ cheerfull y abide by the result. \ Mr. Vest' s \ cheer fulness \ was evi- dently assumed , for he was disconcerted b y Senator Aldrich' s crus hi ng a rgument , and , able as he is , the Missouri Demo- crat utterl y f liled to make any adequate rep ly. Senator Aldrich , in opening his speech , asserted that the tariff qu estion is to be- c ome by common consent the leading is- sue in the approaching Presidential cam- pai gn. The radical declarations of the Democratic p latform adopted at Chicago and the equall y radical utterauces of le a ding rep re s e nt a tives ' of the p arty/in- sure this result. At no time in the (his- tory o f tlie country have the lines ' b' e- twee u the two great parties upon this question been so cl s arly defined. The party plat forms of 1892 declare with much greater catidor than is cus- tomary in papers of this kin d the doc- trines of their respective parties . The Republicans enter the c ampaign dis- tinctivel y favoring the continuance of the protective policy and announcing definitely the princi ples which should control tariff leg islation , while . on the other hand the Democratsi ,deu 6urice pro- t ection a3 a fraud, declare 'the unconsti- tutionaUty of piotec $ iy . e- tariff duties , and mak e a spec ial and vicious attack upon , the Tariff act of 1890 as the culminating atrocity of tariff leg isla tion. CHEAPER LIVING. The report -of the su b-committee of the Committee on Finance , which was covered in these dispatches was anal yzed by Mr. Aldr ichand its details explained at consider able len gth . The Senator said : \It is shown as a ucfc result of the-in- vesti gation that prices aad the cost of living, based on-th e expenditures of a famil y in o rdinary circumstances , had declined 3A per cen f j. in May, 1892 , as compared with the period prior to the adop tion of the Tariff act of 1890. \It is d ifficult to see how the results of- th i s _ t h o r oug hly exhaustive inquiry could be a surprise 'to any one , unless he should . be a professional tariff re- former. It has , I believe , been for many months app arent to the great mass of .the peop le of the United States that none of the Democratic predictions in regard to hi g her prices and greater cost of living as tb 3 j \i $ §ii!t of the tariff leg islation of WO had beei ^u UUled. \ G reater p rmc ri iAsi K power of wages. \The decline [ in the cost ot ! A' H ng ^ from June , 1880 , to May, 1892 , as show k -hv the report of tfc e Finance Committee , was 3.4 per ce ^ t. The advantage in w a ges , ' as shown 'by the same report , was .75 of 1 per centl This makes an aver- age advance in the purchasing power of w l ge s of 4.15 per cent. As suming $500 as the average income ol the families of the country this ^ o n ld be equivalent to , say, $25 pe r family, or an aggregate sav- ing for 13 , 000 , 0 00 families of $325 , - 000 , 000 for each jyear. rt , : \The addition of this vast sum annually to the National earnings and wealth is an achievement s whic li ' ^ speaks with a more elwii ^^g ? ^^^^^ ? ^q pmmand in ^M y Of ^ p ^ Uc ^^^^ ' ^ hic k such re- snl ts ; a r e p ^ bl ^3 l ^ 4 ^ ' : ' ^ : COST 6 ^ | TO^ ; i p^^ pD IN E NGLAND. ^fj lttis ;:yery : B gn i| w nt thai while the cost ot iliw | g 3 tt ' t p^ vTJnited States de- cliiiie<i idfttitie S peri jbd covered by the v y yesti gatfon ' of the f inance Oommitt / a fMie co st o i living in E n gland ihcjiea l ed 1.9 per cent.

' w n iehi is q u o ii in support of hi cent Tariff ^ cL the n ^^ l stage bears tb the finished product , as , for instance , the ^ proportion which the cost of weaving bears to the comp leted fabric. . . The rule that should app ly in fixing the rates of protective duties is that they shou ld i n a ll case s equal the difference betweetf j the cost, of production and dis- tributi o n , under normal conditions , of m e arncre in question In our own ana in that competing c ountry where the cost of production is lowe st. This was the rule which was fo llowed in the prepara- tion of the act o f 1980 aad of th e S e nate Tariff bill of 1888 , which formed the basis of this measur e. HOW LABOR IS BENEFI TED. \Protective duties levied in this man- ner , \ h e con tinued , \have but one pur- pose , an d can have but one effect , that is to protect American labor and to maintain the existing hi g h level of wages and earnings of American workmen. When such d ^ n | g s are remove d or. ' r&Iuce d be- low thi e fprotective point labor receives the full force of the blow. - ' t \ While it is not claimed- that pro- tective tariffs guarantee any particular scale of wages in a particular industry, and while tariff rates cannot be based directly on the difference in ascertained wages , or even in the relative earnings of peop l e in competing countries , it will be readil y s een that , by the rule I have laid down , this difference becomes indirectly tbe basis upon w h i dh all duties are levied , as tariff rates are fixed b y the difference in the cos t of production be- tween competi ng countries , \ and the difference in the cost of production in the final anal ysis consists of a difference in wages or earnings. \ . THE QUESTION OF STRIKES. The next subject considered was that of strikes in industrial center s. Mr. Al- drich referred to a statement prepare d by John De Witt Warner , of New York , on this point , from which Senator Vest had largel y quoted , -and ia reply Mr. Al- drich submitted a report of the Labor Bureau upon the sa me subject. The number ot strikes in this country varied from 443 in 1884 to 1 411 i Q 1886 , the average number of each year for the whole \ :period being G25. The number reported in 1890 is 798 , being more than ten times as many in this single year as reporte d b y Mr. Warn er for the ei ghteen months covered by his statistics , which aggregated onl y, s eventy-seven. Available statistics show that in Great Britain , the paradise of tariff reformers , 3164 strikes occurred in 1889. T he Brit ish Board of Trade officially report 1028 strikes in 1890 , with 392 , 981 per- sons involved in 738 of the3e. \It will be s e ea by a comparison of the relative num ber and importance of strike s in the United States and in Great Britain for the year 1890 that the num- ber was much greater in the latter coun- try, and that the number of persons ua- volved was more than three times as great in proportion to the nu mber of persons engaged in useful occupations in the respective countries. \It can be said that at no time in the history of the count ry has labor been , so constantl y and profitabl y employed and at such s atisfactory wages as in the period referred to. No person ia the United States , with the capacity and willingness to wort , is out of employ- ment. T HE RHODE I3LAND OPERATIVES.
