Before close this letter ] will give
one more fact, and one fact is worth
more than page OF rhetoric
People are led to believe that
a reduction of the tariff will lower
the price OF goods. John Jarrett some
years ago in Pennsylvania started tin
plate mill; the first ever started in this
country. He found he could make
large profit at a price less than the mar
ket rate-of course the English manu-
facturers fixed the price as there was no
American competition. Three or four
other mills started and the business de-
veloped rapidly, thereby shutting off the
Englishmen from their best market.
The English manufacturers then COM
bined and sold their tin plate at less than
the cost of production, which had the eff
feet of driving the Americans out of the
business. Then when they closed every
mill in Pennsylvania the price went up
tos the old prices and who was
benefited by the operation. Not the
consumer or the American workmen.
but the English manufacturer and his
workmen. If there was a high tariff
placed upon timed plate. the American
market would be preserved for American
workmen. and the price of the manu-
featured article would be less than it is
now when Englishmen can dictate to US
what we must pay for their goods. This
Is such self-evident proposition that it
needs no demonstration. Yours resi-.

THE MEANEsT YET.

The Commonwealth published few
days ago a statement by an official cores
pendent that there were seventy-five
cases Of small pox in Wichita and the
papers of that town have been red-headed
ever since 1t is not long since some Wich-
tia liar sent out a batch of stuff concerning
this portion OF the state, from which 1t
will take years to recover. Now that a dose
of her own medicine has been administered
to the peerless princes" she should swal-
low it with becoming complacency and
resignation.-Gar City Sentinel
The foregoing is about the meanest
fling at this city we remember to have
seen. The Sentinel reiterates the base
small poX fabrication in such a way as to
convey the idea that it believed the state
ment to be true, Notwithstanding it has
been contradicted by almost every paper
in the state, except the Sentinel. This
was too mean and contemplate for any
paper making pretentions to decency
and fair play. But even that piece Of
bitterness was exceeded by the same
paper in the same paragraph wherein 1T
attempts to chide Wichita and hold her
responsible for the exaggerated reports of
restitution and suffering in the south
western part of the state that were
sent out by private correspondents of
eastern papers. while the facts are-and
the Sentinel cannot help knowing them
if it knows anything about the matter
that Wichita as a city, through her
board Of trade. the press of the city and
individual citizens. have denied from
the very first the damaging imputations
attempted to be cast upon our neighbors
to the west and denounced the implied
SANDER upon the state, and in this in
stance as in every other this city has
defended the good name of the state and
every portion of it against the attacks
made upon it. whether prompted by ignor-
ance or malice, most frequently the latter.
We should probably not have referred to
the SentineES Islander. but for the fact that
two or three other papers have copied it
with ghOulish glee. Our denunciation of
the Sentinei's criminalitv in this matter
is intended to apply with equal force to
those who have echoed it, But we pity
them and forgive them, conditionally.
