ment for free trade, and in lieu of the
policy of tariff reform proclaimed by the
democratic party, a programme is pre-
sented which embraces the repeal OF the
internal tax on tobacco, and the abolition
of the entire internal revenue system, If
necessary, to save the AZ per cent. tariff.
This is the feast to which the republican
party invites the taxpayers of the coun-
try. Cheap whisky and tobacco, dear
clothing and food and shelter, the indeti-
mite perpetuation of war taxes in time OF
peace, for the benefit, not OF the public
treasury, but OF monopoly; a continuance
of the monstrous system of licensed spoil
alton which has bred millions OF paupers,
fostered combinations and trusts, OPP
pressed agriculture, robbed labor of its
Just rewards and driven American ship
ping from the high seas.
We think there need be no fears as to
the verdict which the American people
will render at the polls next November
upon the issue thus squarely joined be-
tween the parties.
There are other features of the platform
which invite attention, and to which THE
SENTINEL will say its say in due time.

Free Raw Materials.

Congressman WARNER, who represents
the Kansas City district, isarepublican and
a red-hot protectionist. The other day,
however, when the Mills bill was under
consideration in the house, he moved an
amendment. adding burlap to the free
list. Burlap is cloth woven from jute
or hemp, and is largely used in the man
ufacture OF bags. Why Maj. WARNER
wants the duty removed from it is ex-
planned by stakeholder in the Kansas
City bag company:
The manufacture of bags is one of the great
est industries OF the state. Missouri makes
more bags and sacks than any other state in
the union. She makes the bags for the agrcul-
turalists of the great southwest. The uses to
which the burlap bags are put to in this west
ern country are too numerous TO mention.
They take the place of barrels and boxes for
the transportation of vegetables corn, wheat
and coal. The reduction of the tariff or the
putting of the burlap on the free list will
make the bags cheaper and the demand
would be greater. The burlap industry is q
great one locally.
All that this gentleman says is no doubt
true. Free burlap means cheaper bags
for the farmer, and better market for the
not need the revenue derived from the
tax on burlap, and whether it benefits
anybody or not, it certainly Injuries an
important industry and imposes need
less burden upon the agricultural interests
of the country.
What is true OF burlap is true of all
other raw materials. Let them come in

No section of the country is to-day attractins
60 much attention as Montana, Oregon and
Washington; Montana because it now ranks
first in the production of precious metals
Oregon because of its rich valleys, and Wash
ington territory by reason of its mild climate,
timber, coal, minerals and wonderful produc-
ton of fruits and cereals. The rapid growth of
Spokane Falls, with a water power exceeding
even that of Minneapolis; Tacoma, on Puget
sound, the terminus of the Northern Pacific
railroad with 4, 900 inhabitants Seattle, thirty
miles distant, an energetic and thriving city,
mark this section of the Pacific Northwest as
one that offers peculiar inducements to those
seeking new homes.

The Tarifr Not High Enourh.

Congressman JACKSON of Pennsylvania
made speech in the house the other day
in which he declared very frankly that
the republican party did not intend that
the tariff should be reduced in any par
ticular if it could help it. 'The republic
can party" he said, "never pledged itself
to a reduction of the tariff. 1t promises,
when it gets again full control of the gov
eminent, to revise the tariff so as to lessen
the income from the tariff. But, with
very few exceptions, IL WiH do this By MAX
ing the tariff higher and by protecting some
industries that are now neglected"
So it seems that the AZ per cent. tariff
is not high enough for the republican
party. There are not enough tramps and
millionaires for it now; not enough iron
kings and lumber lords and salt barons I;
not enough starving miners and laborers /;
not enough pools and trusts and combi-
nationsl What the republican party wants,
and what it proposes to have as soon as it
gets the power, is tariff so high that it
will produce little revenue for the govern
ment, while it will increase the tribute
which the people are compelled to pay to
monopoly to the highest possible amount.
This is the republican policy, as pro-
claimed in congress by one of the leaders
OF the party.
How do the people like IL?

\ CowardIy Dodge.

The republican platform has nothing to
say on the liquor question. The problem
which, according to our prohibition
friends, constitutes the supreme issue OF
the hour is entirely ignored. The eman-
cipation OF slavery in Brazil, the autonomy
of the states, the mormon question, the
currency, civil service reform, the fisher
les, the navigation laws, the Dakota mat
ter and dozen other so-called issues"
all receive attention. But as 20 the saloon
there is never word.
The position of the democratic party on
this subject is well known. 1t is opposed
to prohibition because prohibition is con-
trary to the genius OF American institu-
tons, and involves an invasion
of individual rights which would
be greater evil than that
it seeks to remedy. 1t holds that the
liquor traffic is proper subject for strict
legislative regulation, but it does not hold
that it is within the legitimate province of
government to prescribe the social habits
and customs of the people, or to say what
they shall eat, drink or wear.
The republican party, on the other hand,
upholds and practices that paternal theory
OF government into which the prohibition
scheme dovetails so nicely. It's creed
exalts the state and minimizes the citizen.
1t sets scarcely any bounds upon the power
and authority of government. In the re-
publican view it is legitimate for the gov
eminent to interfere in the minutest con-
Germs of the individual. So that there
is absolutely nothing in the republic
can doctrine that conflicts with the de-
mands of the EXTREMIST temperance
agitators.
And yet this party dare not say
word on the question of liquor. 1t is
afraid even to mildly deprecate the saloon
as a force in politics. 1t is absolutely
dumb on a subject which everybody adj
mits to be of the foremost importance.
The democratic party stands where it al
ways has Stood for the enforcement of
the laws, and for the promotion OF sobriety
and temperance by all proper and reasOna-
BILE methods. The prohibition party de-
mands the absolute suppression of
the manufacture and sale OF IL
quor. But the republican party
stands nowhere, or rather, perhaps,
everywh q. In New York, Pennsylva-
mia and adiana it stands for the saloon.
In Maine, Iowa and Kansas it stands for
prohibition. In Chicago it doesn't stand
at all-it runs away.
This is the party which is wont TO boast
that it has the courage of its convictions,
and that it is pre-eminently the party of
religion, sobriety and virtue. But what
it is and what it pretends to be are too
vastly different things.

airy examination. Afterward, however,
Longs attorney, Ben Davies, had the
waiver withdrawn and requested that the
defendant be admitted to bail.
Prosecutor Wright stated to the court
that the defendant could hardly be
charged with the crime of murder as the
killing was. undoubtedly unprecedented,
and his bond was accordingly fixed at
$1,000. Longs wound is not considered
dangerous, though it is very painful.
The coroner did not hold an inquest on
the body of Baker yesterday as he could
not get physicians to assist him, because
of the reluctance of the county commits
sioners to allow their fees. However, he
took the testimony of several witnesses,
including the son and daughter of the
deceased. The coroner states that as far
as his examination has extended, he is
inclined to believe that the killing was
not justifable. He will endeavor to hold
the inquest to-day.

The Chicago Platform.

The republican platform is creditable
piece of literary workmanship, but has
little else to commend it to tho favor of
the country. 1t abounds in glittering
generalities, well worded catch phrases
and high sounding but meaningless plati-
tudes; tbs uncandid, disingenuous, hyper
critical and dishonest in its treatment of
current political questions, and from first
TO last is an appeal to ignorance, passion
and prejudice, rather than to the intelli-
gence, good sense and patriotism OF the
people.
Upon the supreme issue of the hour
the revenue question: is a studied at
tempt to confuse and befog the public
mind. The democratic demand for the
repeal of unnecessary and burdensome
taxes is falsely represented as a move

missionary the formula of a simple vegetable
remedy for the speedy and permanent cure OF
Consumption, Bronchitis, Catarrh, Asthma and
all Throat and Lung affections, also positive
and radical cure for Nervous Debility and all
nervous complaints, after having tested its
wonderful curative powers in thousands of

his suffering fellows. Actuated by this mo-

Sunday Marriages.

The astonishing statement comes from Penn
sylvania that the supreme court of that state
has lately decided that recent marriage sol
emnized n Sunday was null and void, since
accordiI o the Sunday laws no contract exc
cuted OF that day is legal and holding that
marriage is no more than civil contract.
According TO the old English common law,
the foundation of all our legal fabric, marriage
is a civil contract and it is moreover religious
ceremony. And in the al nee of any distinct
American legislation to the contrary marriage
is just as valid when performed on Sunday as
on any of the secular days of the week
This is the common sense view, and the view
of most people, we believe. If Judge Kelley
can spare time from his political duties he
ought to hunt up this sapient Daniel of the
supreme bench and ask him what he means by
making a fool of the Keystone state before the
eyes of mankind.

Foraker Illustrating Himself.
Memphis Appeal.

Foraker of Ohio is still smarting under the
snub administered to him by Mrs. Cleveland
at the Philadelphia centenary. He last night
ayailed himself of an opportunity afforded him
to address the Chicago convention to assail Alr.
Cleveland personally and vituperatively. He
said among other things that the president is
not gentleman entirely oblivious of the fact
that he was at that moment giving the country
most decided proof that he himself is no gen
tleman. Foraker is a rash, bad-tempered
politician, who is blind to the fact that the day
has gone by for rhetorical blackguardism The
people of the United States have advanced
several stages beyond that and have no patience
with public men who are given to il.
