A strong westerly wind was blowing, and

FOR CONGRESS, SIXTH DISTRICT
REEL B. TERRY, of Fresno.

lbiDUh OAfNEh, hckucCi VI SOusiOoo
from Baltimore, Maryland, has written
upon the issues of the coming campaign,
and sums up the cardinal distinctions up
on the question Of taxation in this wise
1t is admitted on all sides that the in
crease of revenues over expenditures
calls for remedial legislation of some
sort, and that it will not do, under any
circumstances, to permit the continually
increasing surplus to flow into the treas
ury without making some disposition of
it, or making an effort to prevent its ac-
emulation.
The Democratic party is irrevocably
pledged to the proposition that the sur
plus must be reduced by a reduction of
taxation, and that the larger part of the
reduction must be made by reducing
custom house duties. The Republican
party is not unit upon this question.
Judging from the addresses of its leaders
in the House of Representatives, each
one Of them appears to have little plat
form of his own, and each one of them
appears to be in direct coz rf1ict with the
acknowledged leader of the whole of
them, who has stood up in Congress
term after term as the apostle of pro-
lection, and, until lately, the spokesman
of the Republican party upon that issue.
The Democratic party, whatever may
be the result of the present controversy
in Congress, will 60 before the people
upon the distinct issue that the present
tariff must be reduced, and that the plan
of reduction must be directed in the first
place towards the lowering of duties, or
the placing upon the free list of certain
raw materials that enter into the pro-
duction of our manufactures, and that in
return therefor, what is known and des-
ignated as the compensating duty must
be proportionately reduced upon the
manufactured product, and that no re-
duction shall be made which shall in
justice permit the manufacturer to re-
duce the standard of American wages.
In other words, the manufacturer shall
retain incidental protection largely more
than sufficient to cover the difference in
wages between the lowest-priced labor
of other countries and the highest-priced
labor here, employed upon the article
and product that he is manufacturing.
The Democratic party will stand upon
the ground that wherever the manufac-
turer receives his raw materials tree, or
at reduced cost, he can safely stand
reduction Of duty upon his manufactures,
and that the industrial schedules shall
not be changed so as to affect the wages
of his employees.
Taking this ground, the Democratic
party will claim that the present tariff
duties upon large number of articles in
the schedules are entirely too high; that
they foster and promote monopoly at the
expense ofthe laborer and the consumer,
and that the people of this country have
q right to demand reduction upon the
necessities Of life: and right to demand
that they shall not be taxed beyond the
requirements of government, economical
ly administered.
What is there of free trade in this
showing?

HEBER LORD DEAD

Everybody IN this community were
very much surprised to learn of the
death of Heber Lord whom hardly no
one knew was sick. It seems that a
week ago Saturday he drove in from
Vesper with Miss Dora Miller and on
his return trip contracted a severe cold
which settled all through him. He
doctored some with home remedies
until Tuesday when he was taken with
congestive chill and confined to his
bed. DIR. Witter was summoned and
everything possible was done for the boy.
Friday he appeared some better, but on
Saturday was taken worse and continued
to fail until his death was announced
Tuesday January 31st 1888.
Heber Lord was known among his
schoolmates as kind, energetic, and an
industrious young man with promises of
bright future. He graduated from
the Howe High School at the age Of
seventeen with an excellent class record
For some time he was employed in this
office where he gave good satisfaction.
We found him kind hearted, active in
business, and with qualities for the max
ing of good business man. Lately he
had been employed as assistant in H.
Sherry & Co.'S store, at Vesper, which
position he held until his death.
Reginald Heber Lord was born in
Meadville, Pa, March 18th 1870, and
Cied January 81 1888, of Typhoid Pne-
umonia after an illness of days.
Funeral service will be held in this
city to-day at the Cong'l church Rev.
Loomis officiating.
