Protection for our industries, under
the present system of war taxes,
means protection for the manufacturer
and a continuance of bis big profits.
The democratic effort to lower the
taxes means cheaper food, cheaper
clothing and a battle for the improve
ment of the condition of the toiling
masses. The republican plan is for the
benefit of the masters. The democratic
plan is for the benefit of the men. 1t

Kansas City Times. Oct. 2O.-The
report from the poll of johnson and
Lafayette counties gives Cleveland and
Tsrsney between 1,30O and 1,40O
majority in the two counties. Jackson
county, outside Of the city, is safe for
$500, and Kansas City for from 1000
to 2,0oe. Making sllo ance for ex-
s2gerations We should say that Mr..
Tarsney's majority will be about 1000.
In tho next congress the fifth district
will be represented by a congressman
who will help Mr.. Cleveland to reduce
taxes, and not by one who will antago-
nize the vital interests of the district
he represents. .

MEPHISTOPHELES.

There is II name upon the republic
can state ticket which every farmer and
shipper in Missouri should scratch, we
mean the name of l.. l.. Bridges, for
attorney general.
During The las; session OF the legisla-
ture Mr.. Bridges did more TO cause The
failure OF railroad legislation at the reg
ular session than did any other gentle
man upon the floor.
Though he was sworn to support The
constitution of the state, aud though
most OF the legislation proposed by the
majority was intended to carry out the
spirit of that Instrument, yet Mr..
Bridges was content to sink the patriot
IN the partisan, and TO obstruct leg
islatien.
This was the general course of the
minority, with a lew exceptions in men
who would not obey their party leaders
as against what they deemed TO be the
interests of the state.
Mr.. Bridges was not content TO fol-
low in this nefariOus work-he led in
it. He was, so to speak, the chief
Mephistopheles in the circle of Bcelze-
bubic obstructionists.
But for them Gov. Marmaduke would
not have been compelled to call an x
ira session.
They said they did not approve the
law. As a matter OF fact the majority
could have framed no law that they
would have favored. If its wisdom
had been as that of Solomon, if its
fairness had been such that none could
question in it u single section, yet the
gentleman from Pettis, with q sardonic
grin upon his somewhat handsome phiz'
would have arisen, in season and out
OF season, to antagonize it.
When VI looked upon the Mephisto'
in Jackard's show window at the st.
Louis exposition, though we found him
facially, perhaps, not quite as pretty as
Capt. Bridges, still we recognized in
the peculiar grin which he gave as he
gazed on Marguerite, the same Satanic
smile which used to wreathe the cap
tain's features, as he rose in his pride
in the house to perpetrate a particular
ly fine piece of deviltry, and gazed
around in triumph as his subject fellow
republicans voted at his bidding.
Those citizens who wanted railroad
legislation then, eve if republicans,
should take good care TO say by their
ballots in November what they think
of Mr.. Bridges in the role OF head
Mephistopheles.

The only thing a workingman has to
sell is labor. The only thing 4 manu-

his labor. Labor is sold in competition
with the world, while the products of
labor have no foreign competition, con
s~equently it is the manufacturer who
gets the benefit OF all tariff taxes, and
the workingman can only be protected

that the whole policy of the republicans

been a masquerade is true. They
never had any intention of dealing

to deceive the people. The senate tariff
bill was smothered In committee and
only reported when too late for action.
A masquerade truly from its inception.
And why not? Why should The

not smother it in committee? The
