Iowa Better than Kansas.


A correspondent Of the Belle Plain
Union, Frank Cory, writing from
Montgomery county, Kansas, lifts up
his voice in warming to any who may
be contemplating the sale OF then
farms in Iowa, for the purpose OF
lettering themselves as they as vaInly
imagine, by removal to Kansas. The
warning words are:
"To men in Iowa contemplating
selling your farms an coming to
southern Kansas, l would say, if you
value the present comfort and future
welfare of yourselves and families
stay where you are; don't come to
Kansas. The brilliant stories that
are told of homes and fortunes SC
easily obtained in southern Kansas
are told by men who make money by
telling them, and not by the honest
settler. When you hear of Kansas
being a great fruit and stock country
don't you believe it. Fruit does bu,
very little better than in Iowa, and
as a stock country Iowa IS tar IN
advance of it."

tbs STATE CONVENTION. Chair
man of the Republican State Central Com
mitsee says respecting the time for holding
the State Convention
I'm common, therefore, with wha: APP
pears to be the generally expressed opinion
VI the Republican press of the State, we
trust that our State Convention shall not be
called until after harvest. We believe with
the majority Of those who have expressed
an opinion on the subject, that our conven-
lions have been called too early. Our cam
paizns are not usually more than six weeks
long. That is long enough to carry Oh a
fight where there is scarcely any opposition.
We know Of no good reason for an early
convention
There is no reason for an early coaven-
ton unless it be to avoid having it cotem-
porary, or nearly so, with the Soldiers Re-
union, which takes place in September.
We hear much comment upon the latter by
Republicans, who fear, or profess to fear
that it is designed to cover political strate
~ in respect to the nomination of State
officers. IF the Convention is called first
of course all cause for such suspicion
would be removed. To disabuse the pub
lie mind of such impression, it is worthy o

Iowa Wants and Opportunities.

Iowa wants emigrants, and off them
abundant valuable opportunities. She
wants hog-raisers from Indiana; sheep
raisers from Vermont; cattle-raisers from
Kentucky; wheatraisers from Pennsylvania;
ers from Ohio. She wants carriage-mak-
ers, and harness makers, and engne-mak
ers, and machine makers from New Jersey !;
watch makers, loom-makers, cloth-makers.
and score Of other makers from Massa-
chusetts; button-,nakers, comb makers,
and hundred other makers from Connec-
ticut; she wants spinners, and weavers,
and colcrers, and finishers, and machinists
and engineers from Scotland; stock-raisers
and dairymen from from England miners
from Wales; road-makers from Ireland ;
continuance of the invaluable general I'M
migration from Germany, Holland, Bavaria,
Switzerland and from Sweden; an opening
up of general movement among the thr
ty-six millions of artistic, skillfull, tasty
Frenchmen, who have heretofore spared us
but fifty year to Iowa; and thronged
steamer loads from Belgium. She wants
virtuous, temperate, industrious and thrifty
men and women from every country, and
every honorable profession, to come and
take equal interest with the present in own
ership and improvement of the most valua'
BILE and desirable territory on this footstool !;
where the virtue, freedom and intelligence
of the people are in perfect harmony with
as saubrious climate, as prolific a soil,
and as agreeable situation, as the sun
sails over.

Ire TARIFF.

The debate upon the tariff bill before
Congress, ought to convince every man Of
Judgment, of the utter insincerity of those
wtv ara clamoring for high tariff duties
Each high tariff advocate in Congress-
seems TO be the representative of some
special interest which he wants protected
TO the extent Of giving it a monopoly Of
the market, and at the same time is indif-
fsrent, even hostile, to every other interest
demanding like favor. Thus Butler
would hks to have the sHoemakers at Flynn
projected and at the same time declares
with characteristic effrontery that manu-.
factures should never be established OF
protected in the West, and Kelley, Of Penn
sylvanis, is just as illiberal toward oil who
want cheap iron, whether they be protec-
tionis,s or free traders. Instead of uniting
10 the advocacy Of sound and judicious
policy which shall work equal justice as far
% possible to all interests and sections,
each is looking after his particular scheme
Of aggrandizement, and defeated in that,
cares nothing for other interests. The
voses on the tariff bill now before the
House, have been mainly favorable 10 re-
duction Of du:ies on several important ar.
,icles. The consequence is that the pro.
hibitionis,s are alarmed and disguised with
these manifestations of tendency toward
reform, and ii anything, are hostile toward
the bill originally framed to advance their
selfish interests. Their organ, the New
York Tribune, is clamoring for its defeat,
and there is probability that this will be
Ito fate.

SOCIAL HONOR We wish every man
and woman in Iowa would read this article,
from the Adrance, and ever act upon its
truths:
"Every person should cultivate nice
sense Of honor In hundred different ways
this most fitting adjunct of the true lady or
gentleman is often tried. For instance, one
is a guest in family where, perhaps, the
domestic machinery does not run smoothly
There is sorrow in the house unsupported
by the outer world. Sometimes it is a dis
sipated son, whose conduct is a shame and
grief to his parents; sometimes a relative
whose eccentricities and peculiarities are a
cloud on the home. Or, worst of all, hus-
band and wife may not be in accord, and
there may be often bitter words spoken, and
harsh determinations. In any of these
cases the guest is in honor bound to be
blind and deaf, so far AS people without are
concerned If a gentle word within can do
any good, it may well be said, but to &c
| forth and reveal the shadow of an unhappy
secret to any one, even your nearest friend
is an act of indeicacy and meanness almost
unparalleled. Once in the sacred precincts
of any home, admitted to its privacy, sha
ring its life, all tina, you see and hear is {
sacred trust 1t is really contemplate tt
gossip of such things as it would be to stea
the silver or borrow the books and forget tC
return them.

The following conversation reported by
the Cincinnati Commercial, between
Schenck, chairman of Ways and Means
Committee, and Cakes Ames, of Massachu-
sets, whether authentic or not, we'll Illus
trates the conflict Of interests going on
among the high tariff men in Congress !;
Schenck wanted the assistance of Ames in
putting up the duty on jute, but the latter
who is al the head of one of the heaviest
iron manufactures in the country inter-
ested in keeping down the duty on raw ma
terial, positively refused. He makes SHOW
els, and votes for swinging duties on the
manufactured shovel, but is very tender on
the subject of scrap iron:
~ want you to help me on jute,' cried
Schenck.
snow look here, Schenck," responded
Ames, 'don't You see that if you go on
protecting everything, you destroy protec-
ton %
"No, don't" responded S.
"Well, you just do. We must have cheap
material and cheap labor, and if we don't
get these, we have no protection. Now you
put up material on US, and you put up la
Dor by adding to the cost of living, don't
you see?'
IL see,' responded the Chairman of
Ways and Means, ''that in your selfish
greed, protection is good thing so long as
you make money by it, and not SO good
when any one else has chance"
But that is not protection; we want to
protect the manufacturer" roared Ames.
''There is no sense in attempting to protect
material. 1t is skilled labor that has to be
built up. Now, how could l make the
Great American Shovel at profit if scrap
iron were put up on me?'
"You will not help me on jute?" asked
Schenck.
"No, l wont because"
"You will not"
"No, won't!'
Then III be i don't 60 for duly
on scrap iron!'
"Schenck, you're not serious?'
"Never more so, Oaky, in my life; l am
going to stick you On scrap iron; so look
out for the Great American Shovel
And sure enough the new bill puts up
scrap iron, and the Honorable Ames is
standing on his head, which, by the way, is
about as natural and safe position as old
Shovels could assume.

The Truo Principle of the Tariff.

We clip from an editorial article in the
Springfield Republican, the following just
conception of what should be the tariff pol
icy of the country:
"a policy of protection to American in
dustry, on a broad and wise scale, is &C.
ceptable to the American people now, as it
always has been. So far as the free-tra-
ders have contended against this, they have
made no Roadway whatever. But our in
dustry is now 80 diversified and developed
that it can only be protected on general
principles; it will not do for Mr.. A. to
come before Congress and get monopoly
for his manufacture because it is his, Or be-
cause it has the support of other monopo-
lists in other sections Of the country who
will help him along if he will help them.
All our tariff legislation for the last forty
years has been corrupted by this element
of individual or corporate sel6shness. 1t
is time now to consider the good of the
whole people, from ocean to ocean and
from gulf to lake. We tried legislating for
special isterest-the -planters-un-
til the country blazed with civil war. Let
that be a warning to all who are pushing
the cause Of other special interests, great
and small. This is not the cotton-spin-
ners' country, nor the pig.iron makers
country, nor the wool.grower's country ex-
clusively,-it belongs to the myriads Of
poor people who have to get their living in
it, and who want tariff that will not hin.
der them in that.
Let US have, then, tariff that will fol-
low some general policy that will consis-
tently impose low duties on the raw mate
rial, and higher ones on those articles that
involve labor and skill so that our workmen
may not be dragged down to the pauper
level of Europe; but let us in no case have
prohibition. The time tor that has gone
by. The average rate of fifty per cent.
duties, which our present tariff imposes. is
as useless in fact as it is ridiculous in the
DRY. No duty should 60 above fifty per
list there should be wide range of low
and gradually ascending duties. Wool, for
example, ought to come in free, or nearly
so, for we can now compete with the world
in wool.growing; pig-iron should be taxed
at the lowest possible rate; but the manu-
features of wool and iron should still have
the encouragement of wisely graduated
system of imposts. So Of our other manu-.
features, and especially those by which we
can hope to supply foreign market, as
well as our own people. The present tariff
has almost destroyed our ability to export
articles of our own manufacture or, rath-
er, such has been the result of our curren.
cy and tariff folies combined. Let us
have legislation that will restore our export
able manufactures to their old prosperity,
and make it still greater, for in this way we
shall build up commerce as well as manu-
features.

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican says

found this course necessary, is an honor Ia
