ARMOURDALE, KANSAS. Aup. %.

ARNoUhDALE, KANSAS, Aug. ~.
ED. PREss.-Traveling across 20 de-
grees Of longitude, you might rsasona-
bly, expect to see great diversity of
country and climate. But when you
consider that you diverge less than
two degrees of latitude in the same dis
tance, you will be better prepared to
hear me say that the country here diff
fers but little in general outline from
our own. I was disappointed in Ilii-
nois, I was disappointed in Missouri.
Expecting to see prairie, 1 saw a wood
ed country, never out of sight of a belt
of heavy timber. Climber, and to
spare," said local passengers.
I am disappointed in the wind-so
close, so hot, so dry and dusty, that
you, with me, might wish for the
cooling kreezes of home. Here, a
clean shirt would excite remark, as all
extraordinarily dirty one would in
Ravenna. But little difference in gen.
eral outline of country; but vastly
different in the tastes, habits and ex-
pectations of the people.

but corn. The very lawns between
Ravenna and Kansas City, we saw in

Is IT not manifest that the legisla-
ton of the country under the Repub-
lican management is in the interest of
monopolies and favored class, and
that the wealth produced by the in-
dustry of the masses of the people is
rapidly being concentrated in the
hands of the scheming few? Well can
the Jay Goulds, the Vandsrbilts, and
the railroad, land, manufacturing and
other monopolists afford to contribute
to the corruption fund that is employ
ed to keep party in power that shows
such devotion to their interests
II the people continue to close their
eyes to the tendency of Repu bIican
legislation to build up privileged
class, an aristocracy of wealth in this
country, they will richly merit the
fate that awaits them. s-c.. s. s. '-

THEquestionvery naturally suggests
itself: Why did the manufacturing
monopolists, the bankers, the star
route thieves, and the great railroad
king, Jay Gould, contribute SO LIBERAL
ly to the Republican campaign fund,
in 1880? Does any one imagine that
it was done out of motives of disinter-
ested patriotism, or from their regard
for the interests of the working men
of the country? Does anyone believe
that these men poured out their wealth
like water to corrupt the ballot and
retain the party of jobbery, robbery
and bribery in power without any hope
of personal gain therefrom

During the previous night the whole

THE Republican politicians think
they have done big thing when their
Scott law closes up the saloon of the

who sold only keg or two of beer a

THE direct loss to the farmers of
Ohio through the reduction of the wool
tariff is six millions Of dollars-$4, ,594 ,507

of sheep, the balance the loss ON the
Clip this year.
The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1883-09-06

IT is curious that with Republican
President, Republican Tariff Com
mission, and Congress Republican in
both branches, the Democrats should
be held responsible for the reduction
of the tariff on wool. The President
and Tariff Commission recommended
the reduction, the Republican Con-
gress passed it, and the Republican
President approved the act, but still
they insist that they are not RESPONSE
Bile, that the wicked Democrats did it.

A NOVEL plan for setting celery and

A NOVEL plan for setting celery and
cabbage plants, which has several de-
sirable points to recommend 1t, is to
place them between the rows of your
potatoes or sweet corn after the last
hoeing. The growing corn or potatoes
will afford partial shade. which is
very desirable at the time of setting
the young plants and until they get
fully established. The corn or pota-
toes will ripen and can be removed In
time for the second crop to mature.
