Q How grandly Mr.. Francis is con-
ducting his canvass for the COVER
norship! There is no venom upon
his tongue, or dark insinuations
which bear the sting of a trickster,
in his words. There are no ward
or farmer politicians singing his
praises. They are all on the other
side. The honest yeomanry of the
State are the friends of Mr.. Francis
and when he is inaugurated into
Office, the people of this grand old
State will behold a second John S.
Marmaduke. The supporters OF
Mr.. Francis have a right to fee
proud of him and the high toned
manner in which he is meeting the

On Business.

The disposition to try, is half
the ability to perform.
The failures in life are the
renegades and backsliders.
The first business lie is the poor-
est investment that can be made.
Do not expect honesty in others
when it does not exist in yourself.
Let the convenience and comfort
of others come first, your own will
follow.
Do your duty as if you were the
only other person in the world left
to perform it.
A business man can only attend
to one thing at a time. With some
one is too many.
No man can ever succeed in life
except on the broad platform of
nollesty anu trutn.
Genius and ability are never dis-
covered until industry and ambi-
ton open the mine.
Two men can ride on one horse,
but no one man can ever drive in
two buggies at a time.
Try and discover the good in
humanity, for the reverse will ap-
pear without seeking.
The merchant who swindles his
customers, and has his employee
in the secret, is forever thereafter
a coward.

MEXICO, MISSOURI, THURSDAY, AUGUST 2, 1888
THE FIRST STEP.

When an opponent of Tariff Re-
form is honest enough to admit
that the Mills Bill is not Free
Trade" measure he seeks to justify
his position by insisting that it is
"the first step towards it," And
the assumption is uniformly main
tanned that if tins bill should be-
come law Free Trade within
twenty years would be the inevita-
BILE result.
What is this but an admission
that the removal of some of the
tax restrictions would prove SO
beneficial both to enterprise and
to labor that the people would in
sist upon abolishing more of them ?
There will be ten Congresses
and five Presidents chosen within
the next twenty years. No further
reduction of the tariff could be
made, should the Mills Bill be-
come Il law, until the people had
passed upon the matter in an cleo
ton. If lighter taxes and a freer
trade should work the benefit to
the country which their advocates
believe that they will, no doubt
the policy would be car
ried further. If the result should
prove as disastrous as the High
Protectionists predict, naturally
the people would go back to The
old system. The matter would be
entirely within the control of the
voters, to be determined by actual
experience.
The history of the past fifteen
years certainly encourages the
experiment of a change. Within
this time millionaires have multi.
piled as never before. Trusts and
other forms of combination have
strangled enterprise and killed
competition. The chance for poor
men to better their condition has
never before been so small in this
land. A tariff for bounties has
developed into tariff for surplus,
and still the greed of the plutocrats
will surrender no part of the pro
tectlve system. -
Is not their fear of the "firsr
stepn a confession that their claims
are false and their system wrong
