THE GENERAL LIST
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1888-10-03
McKinInr and rsidrs.

Mr.. Mckinley is easily the leader Of the
Republicans on the tariff issue, and we can
not expect to catch him juggling with the
statistics in order to sustain his arguments
In Georgia, arguing against free raw ma
terials, he instanced the fact that since
hides were on the free list, the expectation
of leather had amounted TO but two per
cent. of the total production. This, he said,
twas an argument that free raw materi-
ais would not give us the markets of the
world
What are the factsi
In 1872 hides were placed on the free list.
In 1871 we imported leather to the amount
of SIC, $50, 155; in 1887 the imports of leather
were the same, or to be exact, S109 49,;
but in that time the imports of hides and
SKINS and other fur skins increased from
$14, 6SS, 463 to 81, 2225, no.
What did we do with these hidesl
In 1871 we exported hides and skins -, 70O,-
6O4, and in 1887 only S765, 1865, so we did not
send out our raw materials.
We manufactured these skins and export
ed the manufactured products.
In 1871 our exports of leather and manu-
features Of leather were only s., S97, 1875, but
with free hides they have increased to $1O,-
4S6, 1873, or 500 per cent.
II shows, says the Louisville Courier,Jottr-
nal, that while the imports of leather prod
ucts were stationary for sixteen years we
were holding the home market, increasing
our exports 500 per cent, and furnishing
our people with better and cheaper shoes
than ever before.
Mr.. Mckinley ought not to follow Mr..
Blaine in his perversion of facts.
The value of free raw materials is indis-
putable

THE PRESIDENTS LETTER.
A Document Commenting Itself to Intel
ligent Voters.

A Document Commenting Itself to INTEL
ligent Voters.
The Presidents letter of acceptance COM
mends itself to the intelligence, the integrity
and the patriotism of his countrymen. 1t
reviews the issues of the campaign in a
manner so clear and simple that any man
may understand them, and yet so mastery
and forcible that conviction must follow
close in the train of comprehension. The
tariff question is epitomized in his declara-
ton that unnecessary taxation is unjust
taxation This proposition is as incon=
IroyeFtible as the grand old deciara-
ton that t'taxation without representation
is tyranny and Mr.. Cleveland puts the
question of the necessity Of the present
tariff taxation beyond dispute by pointing
to the existing surplus as conclusive evil
dence that this taxation is unnecessary.
1t is conclusive. If the taxation were
necessary the surplus could not exist. The
necessities Of the Nation have all been sup
piled; and vet this mighty surplusage,
hlched from the earnings of every consumer
in the country. lies in the treasury vaults
with no legitimate use to which it may be
put. It's withdrawal from circulation Inn
pedes the business of the country; and its
existence is q continuous temptation to ex-
travagance and folly in the legislation and
administration OF the Government
Nor is this the worst feature Of this un-
due exercise of the taxing power We must
remember also that, in accommodating this
surplus, six times as great an amount, or
nearly eight nundYed millions Of dollars.

BLAINEON WAGES

In June, 1881, James G.. Blaine pub
lished, under his Official responsibility
as secretary of state, a report on the
cotton goods trade of the world. in
which he undertook TO show and did
show, that. as compared with England.
in this, the leading branch of manufac-
lures for each country, I'VE stand on an
undoubted equality thus far in the race
of competition. He drew the bal
ance of advantages and disadvantages
substantially as follows:
American wages are slightly higher,
but the hours of work for each are
somewhat longer. Thus the wages of
spinners and weavers in Lancashire
and in Massachusetts were as follows
per week:
English spinners, $3.50 to $40;
masters, SD.
"Americans, S7.07 to 5000.
English weaVers. $3.50 to SS.64, less
10 per cent.
american S4.S2 to 1878.
English average, men, about So. less
10 per cent.
american average, men, $3.50.
EbSiiStA dlcidRcs MOmcu, SO.tO W
$3.50 less 10 per cent,
American average, women, 1852.
English hours of labor, fifty. six.
American hours of labor, sixty in
Massachusetts; i'm other states, with
lower wages, sixty-six to sixty-nine
hours"
On this showing which is very inter
esting, Mr.. Blaine made the following
comments
Undoubtedly the inequalities in the
wages of English and American opera
tives are more than equaliZed by the
greater efficiency of the latter and their
longer hours of labor. If this should
prove to be ? fact in practice as II
seems to be proved fTom official statis-
ties. IL would be veEy important ele-
ment in the establishment of our ability
TO compete with England for our share
of the'cotton goods trade of the world. .
This very simple, comprehensive and
practical review OF one of our most i'm
pOrtant industries sastaids completely
the principle of reform of the tariff en-
bodied IN the Mills bill and in the mes
sage of President Cleveland which Mr.
Blaine is now denouncing as threatning
the ruin of the manufacturers of the
country and the reduction of the wages
of the men employed liz them.

A Campaign song.

Mrs. John Sparks, who resides south
of Medicine Lodge eight miles, this
week handed us the following campaign
song, the principal words of which were
used by glee club of which she was a
when a girl.
Our fathers fought for liberty,
And shed their blood and died,
And left to us this heritage,
A country vast and wide.
Brave jackson was hero;
From truth he never swerved;
He swore that true Democracy
Must ever be preserved.
We will rally round the poles, boys,
Rally once again,
Shouting for Cleveland, boys, and freedom.
Rally from the hill tops
Gather from the plains,
Stay by Old Democracy,
That never had stain.
Though the shoddyites may prate,
We will carry every State
Shouting for CleN Gland. boys, and freedom.
Think of the thirteen dollars month.
Boys, that you fought for ON the field,
Targets to be shot at
For the rebels that were concealed.
Instead of the golden coin. my boys,
Old paper tattered and torn,
Were Iavished like dew-drops,
From clouds and dryed by southern sun.
Jump into the boat. boys,
We will bring you safe 20 shore,
Cleveland is the man, my boys,
As he's been there before.

"duty" or bonus that everyone has to
pay on every dollars worth that he
buys. We know that the average rate
of protection is AZ per cent. When a
man, woman or clild buys any article
in this country on which there is an im-
port duty, he or she pays, in addition to
the real value and cost of the article, an
average of AZ per cent. more to the
manufacturer, for he being protected
by this great and good government,
charges what the article could be
bought for in some other country and
then adds the duty or tax that this gov
ernment would charge if the article
was imported instead of manufactured
at home.
1t will take but a moment for any
man who buys goods to figure out how
much extra he has paid for his pur
chases by reason of this protection. If
he has purchased 500 worth, he has
paid SAT.
So the Cresset's statement that it
costs each person but 80 cents a year
| for the support of the government is
misleading. True, the expenses of the
government might not figure out more
than 80 cents 20 each individual; but
we have shown that il the imports are
$2ll ,Sll ,632, as Judge Peters SAYS. that
each head of a family will pay Sl7.65:
or. carrying out the figures further.
every man, woman and child will pay

An IRRIGATTNG PLAN.


The Kansas City Times is working up
n great scheme to have congress take up
the question of water storage and irri-
CATION in the dry regions of the west.
The idea Is that water from the noun
tains might be stored i'm vast reservoirs,
adjacent to land that is not now pro-
ductive or even tillable, and, when it is
most needed, this water is to be carried
out through bitches and distributed.
The subject Is ons that must prove of
interest to people living west of the
Tooth meridian; but it is not probable
that congress will spend the millions OF
dollars that would be necessary to make
such project Q success.
There is so much good and produc-
tive land i'm this country that has never
yet been touched by hoe or pillow, that it
is not necessary TO place artificial mois-
ture IN order to raise crops for this
growing country. Twenty years ago all
OF Southern Kansas was known as the
ard region. To-day, as far west as the
ANVAi hhCA AhAdhf kOVN NAbB8 NoA W 80
successfully raised as along the eastern
tier of Kansas counties and about as
frequent, too. True, last year and this
year the corn yield was not as large as
It should have been, bat this partial
failure can be attributed to the farmers
i'm great measure. They did not use
that care and judgment in planting that
they shonld. Next year will show a
better condition of affairs.
When the people need more land that
can be cultivated, nature will have pro-
vided it. But now, and for ten years to
come, there will be no necessity. of
retaining more of the ''arid" district.
The millions of acres held in vast pas
lures in this state Will be sub-divided,
and thousands viii occupy the grounds
now held by hundreds. The Indian
lands will be open To household settle
ment, aud if spectators are kept out.
these lands will last for many years and
they VIII not need irrigation.
The Times plan would appear to be
something in the nature Of a plan to
dispose of the surplus in tine national
treasury. The Republicans can Toe re-
lied on to hatch up schemes TO eat up
the surplus and keep up taxation, with
out Democrats even making sugges-
fiOnq
