For the first time in national cleo.

doubts of their ability to control
Southern votes,. and this creates iap-
prehension Of their final determine

Corrupt Rings and High
tz's Prices.

Corrupt Rings and High
Isis 3 Prices.
Let every school man in the State
of Missouri fully understand that a
most dangerous Book Ring Is labor
ing to maintain the present exorbi-
tant high prices ct which their own
school books have been sold at
throughout the State.
Who compose this Ring? ...
Van Antwerp, Bragg a.Ge4*~sf
Cincinnati, A. S. Barnes & Co., and
Brakeman & Taylor, OF New York.
I Whose books are in almost exclu-
siye use in Missouri? reg .s ..
| The books of these three houses.
What evidence is there that
they have combined to maintain high
prices? ; a-s.s r. -..a-.,.
| The fact that they share expenses,
protect each others books, and la
Dor for the adoption Of their joint
publications. fy .-~ Va. ga
What results will follow If these
books are adopted? ra5 ~
The same results as followed their
adoption in 1875. ~.t"..
Promises were made that the Ec-
lectric Series should be supplied at
certain rates, called regular prices,
but in less than thirty days the full
retail pricea were charged school pa
irons, and have ever since been
charged for McGuffey, Ray, etc.
F What safeguard for the people is
there that these high rates will not
be maintained?
None whatever, excepting to aban-
don the books whose publishers have
never kept faith with the people.
, Would change to other books be
an additional expense for the first
wear?
None whatever, but an actual saw
ing to every fanily, every district,
every township and every county in
Missouri. .EigH SID 30 a,

Get responsible publishers, not
connected with the Ring, to give q
bond that they will supply their
books at certain introductory and
exchange prices for the first year,
and at certain fair retail prices there
after, and the peoples interests will
be safe. Ea*sszs ns ssfT'

~ Thevastness of the PRISE eentended
for, ohscures the moral vision Of un-
worthy men in-bsth parties and indu-
snces resort to unjustifable neans
to gain it. Unfortunately the fraud
ulent counting ofthe votes cast at
the South in the late Presidential
election, and the rewards given by
the executive to all that were engaged
in it, have impaired to greater or
