At least three Of our contemporaries
are after our scalp Last week or the
week before, the Phillipsburg Demo
crat, the Logan Freeman, and the
Kirwin Independent came at the HER
AID In from two columns to nearly an
entire page. We have lately stirred
up our esteemed contemporaries by
stating good solid reasons why the
Union Labor voters should, in the
next Presidential election, assist the
Republicans IN ousting the Demo
Gratis from control of the Government
and put the Republicans in. We
have shown that the Republican par
ty contains vastly more Of the anti
monopoly element than the Demo
cratic party and it is because this Is
so, and the other fact that thousands
of the Union Labor people know il
and will this year vote with the Re
publicans that makes the Democrat
so nervous. Then the Freeman and
Independent are becoming alarmed
at the situation, and are laboring he
roically to keep their followers in
that frame Of mind that they can fuse
them with the Democrats next fall
not for principle, but for the Offices
There are Union Labor voters all over
Phillips county who cannot accept
the Henry George Taxation Theory
and will not follow them into the
Democratic ranks. They prefer to
vote with the liberal, anti-monopoly,
progressive element of the Repub-
hcan party.

the honest laws Of supply and demand would
permit these manufacturers to have. You get

We do not know who the writer is,
signing himself 'cN," but as the name
Of one Of the editors of the Democrat
begins with ''AI." we persume he is
the author. Whoever he may be he
makes an egregious blunder in the
position he assumes. The purchaser
of an article does not necessarily pay
all the thing is worth and the tariff
duty besides That position has been
! shown to be fallacious years ago.
MS reasoning on the above table is
defective. To illustrate his false
theory let us call the readers atten-
ton to a few facts: The tariff duty on
corn is 10 cents per bushel, and yet it
has often been sold in Kansas and
Nebrask. at Is. cents per bushel. If
ms" reasoning is correct, if the tar
! iff on corn were removed, it would
sell at five cents per bushel. Salt is
now selling in some states at but
few cents in excess Of the duty levied
on salt. The tariff duty on oats is
ten cents per bushel, and vet we learn
that in 1885, oats sold in Kansas as
low as IL cents per bushel. Would
they have sold for three cents if there
had been no duty on oats? Take
railroad iron for instance. In 1884
English steel rails were laid down IN
New York from London and Liver
pool at a cost of $4,000 per ton. The
HERALD knows of an instance where
steel rails were imported from Eng
land for a narrow gauge road in Iowa,
and laid down in that state at $500
per ton, and yet at that time, the du-
/ ty on railroad iron was $1IOO per ton.
If ms" theory is correct either that
iron should sell at $4,000 per ton
when the duty is on, or at $500 if the
duty is off.
Upon some Of the poorer grades of
prints the duty is A cents per yard
and yet these same goods can be pur-
chased IN Phillipsburg at 4 to A
cents per yard or even lower. This
illustration within the knowledge of
every reader of the HERALD and DEM
Ocrat, most effectively shows the ut
ter fallacy OF the position Of the Dem
Ocraf8 correspondent A well in
formed writer says: In 1859, 60 and
] 81, wool was admitted free of duty.
At the port Of export South Africa
for instance It sold for Is cents to 10
cents per 10. In 1858 we imposed a
tariff Of 3 cents per ID. It then sold
at same port for 16 cents. In 1854
the tariff was raised to 6 cents per h.,
and the price dropped to Is cents.
In 1867 and 1868 the tariff was 10
cents, and down it dropped again to
ID to IL cents; the depreciation very
nearly corresponding to the raise IN
duty.
American prints, nails, saws, planes
augers, etc. are In English stores to-
day, and tariff upon all.
In 1860 we had tariff for revenue
only; now we have a high protective
tariff, and yet it VIII be next to i'm

MISS Fletcher aaa Her Books.


Miss Fletcher, the author of ssKsmetS and
other clever novels, has besn abroad with her
mother for fifteen years. Eugene Benson,
painter and art critic, is her ste3father and the
family are now living IN Rome. Eugene L.
Didier writes as follows about her:
She IS tall and handsome. about twenty-efRht
years old, with large dark eyes that grow brill
liant as she grows animated in conversation.
She converses with great fuency but in a rich
most commonplace conversation. But Miss
Ftetchers conversation is far from common
place; it is full of interest for she has travelled

European society. The first result of her
Oriental experience was s'Kismet." the Nile

young authors, rush again into print immediate

a success .'Kismes." In "The Head of Me-

.'Vestielan aud s'Andromeda,' the sceries of both

that she preferred The Head of Medusan Co
any of her other books. bet in this opinion the
public do not agree, for "Kismetp is still the
most popular of her novels. Miss Fletcher is
not professional author. Literature is only

Roman society.

Ever since il began TO be reported that pitcher

pitcher Radbourne from the Bosrons. President
Brush has always considered the old Providence

of the prominent stockholders, well as with
Manager Spence. The negotiations were carried
