A married man, writing in the New York
Herald, says that women can't economics.
This is a SANDER against women. If the
married man in question will figure out how
much he spends yearly for cigars, drinks
and other luxuries for himself, and for
treats for his friends and if he win then
listen TO his wife's story of how she denies
herself because he tells her he can't afford
to buy certain things for her, perhaps he
will change his mind.

publish and proclaim of and concerning
Jesus Christ profane and blasphemous
words to the dishonor and contempt Of

recent visitor to England is lecturing
in Canada, and he says that Queen Victoria
is in her dotage, and will probably sbdicate
in favor of the Prince Of Wales. 1t makes
little difference, 50 far as affairs in England
are concerned, whether the queen is in her
dotage or not. The book she wrote several
years ago seemed to indicate that she was,
but the government has gone on just as be-
fore. The queen doesn't have much to do
with English matters.

Potatoes on me Fr.a List,

Potatoes are on the free list in the
Mills bill. The farmers viii be de-
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
Unfortunately this is not true. The
Mills bill does not touch the tariff on
potatoes, and as they are costing our
farmers about dollar a bnshel,
it would be relief if the fifteen cents
per bushel tax were removed.-[Gazette.
We are surprised that the Gazette
editor, though his salary does not ''call
for Horace Greeley" should resort to
this bare-faced falsehood in the columns
of the same paper which has been run
ming the Mills bill as a standing adver-
tisement of the journals adherence to
Cobdenisms and free-trade. 1.-The
Mills bill does not touch the tariff on
potatoes says this astute individual.
Referring to the Gazette of Friday
morning, Sept. 14th, we find in the par
tial abstract of the Mills bill under the
head of s'Free-list," Vegetables in
their natural state" and if this does
not cover it, q little further on is
Bulbs and dubious roots, non-medici-
nal" According to the Gazette's own
statement in the quotation above, and
which is in this particular correct, the
present duty on potatoes is fifteen
cents per bushel of sixty pounds.
''Unfortunately," Mr.. Warren's asser-
ton that .'the Mills bill does not touch
the tariff on potatoes" is not true, and
with Lis own paper before his eyes CIV
iHg him the lie, we can see no excuse
for making the statement.
AS to the twaddle about potatoes
costing our farmers'' money any child
can comprehend its folly. The farmers

of potatoes but producers; and a blow
at the growing of this crop by remOv-
ing the protective tariff is blow at
the pocketboOks of the very class which
the Democracy processes so much to
love.
When the Mills bill was first passed
by the House, Democratic editors sent
up great hue and cry that potatoes
would be on the free-list and it would
be a great boon. But the farmers be-
gan 70 ask who was striving to injure,
by removing its protection, AN industry
as important to many Northern States
as rice culture is to the South. why
they inquil ed, do you put nearly 100 per
cent. tariff On the Southern rice and
put the Northern potato on the free
list?" Suddenly the Democratic press
became painfully silent on the subject
and the injustice that they were doing
the Northern farmers was ignored. 1t
is matter of record that the Republi-
can minority in the House endeavored
to place the word ''non-edible'' after
bulbs and dubious roots' in order to
keep the fifteen per cent. protection on
potatoes, but the Democratic side voted
the amendment down it preferred
helping its friends, the South. Gun
fortunately for Mr.. Mills and his
party, the farmers are aware of this
and will resent the insult offered.
Such are the facts in regard to the
present, and, under the Mills bill, the
prospective standing of the tariff on
potatoes. Mr.. Warren may, perhaps,
after while comprehend what his
readers already understand, that the
REFLECTOR knows what it is talking
about and, unlike its e. c., presents
nothing but facts to the reading public.

From AZ TO 40 Per Cert.

The author of the Mills bill spoke at
Richmond, Ind, on Tuesday last.
Mr.. Mills shows himself to be not only
a demagogue of very low degree, but a
man who is willing to utter falsehoods,
if he can succeed in deceiving the pub
lie. Mr.. Mills said in his speech that
the Mills bill only reduces the tariff
from AZ to AZ per cent, or an average
of per cent. And yet, says Mr. Mills,
the Republicans are ''going about the
country saying this is free trade, and
that it will ruin the whole country"
Mr.. Mills own figures will show that
this pretense of mere "5 per cent. !"
reduction is ridiculously false. His
computation is based on the customs
receipts for the fiscal year 1887. These
amounted in round figures to S212, 0O0..
600. The Mills bill cuts off Sc, 900 900
of the duties-$sO, 0O0, 900 by reducing
duties. and $40, OOO, GOO by placing du-
table goods on the free list. This
$50, 000. 900 reduction is IS per cent. of
the entire revenue received from duti-
able imports. The Mills bill does not
make a cut of 8 per cent only, but one

"What good to Kansas farmers is
the duty of 81 per ton on hay?" Is a
question often asked as if it were a
poser which would overturn the whole
protective system. The Cleveland
iOhiO,) Leader, seems to have practi-
cal answer to the question in the fol-
lowing statement:
Thousands of tons of Kansas and
Illinois hay are sold every year in this
city. One commission firm alone often
handles from ten to twenty carloads in
single day, in the season for such
shipments. 1t is just 81 ton cheaper
to bring hay here from Kansas than it
is to bring it from Canada, only seventy
miles distant, and pay the duty. If
there were no duty on hay, not ton of
Kansas hay would ever have been sold
in Cleveland. The 50 ton keeps out
the Canada hay and gives the Kansas
farmer chance to market part of his
surplus product here.

Four of the nine members of the
Union Labor State committee are bank
ers or own bank stock. Nothing re-
markable in this-it simply shows that
the leaders in the movement are knaves

fools and dupes. The idea of bankers
favoring the abolition of interest is too
senseless for the consideration of any
body but the most Anticipated sucker.

large part of this reduction is made by
creating absolute free trade in about
fifty important American industries.
In fact, Mr.. Mills own figures prove
that the Mills bill is dangerous and
infamous assault upon the industrial
system of the country. 1t demon
strates also that the claim of mere
per cent. reduction is fraud, and that
Mr.. Mills himself is a gorgeous pollti-
cal trickSter and sham.

A Threatened Reform.

We learn that movement is being
discussed among the more adventurous
young ladies of Abilene to form a
'JeneSs Miller Club" This statement
does not seem very wonderful on the
face of it, but when we come to con-
slider the clubs purposes it is calculated
to send thrill of terror to the heart of
every man in Abilene. Jeness Miller
is refOrmer from RefOrmersville, and
the Abilene society, if it is formed, pro-
poses to carry out her plans. Among
other things contemplated is the BAN
ishment of the hustle. As if thai were
not terrible enough, it is proposed to
also discard corsets. A bustle-less,
corsetless body of young ladies would
be sight indeed, but that is not ali.
The plainest of hats are to be worn,
broad heeled heavy shoes and, horror
of horrors! bifurcated skirts. When
that club gets its paraphernalia on and
starts out for one of its twenty-miles-a-
day strolls, with fixed look of deter
mination in one eye and little flower
in the other-the other hand, we
mean-the young men of the city who
are particularly bold and unblushing
will hide in dry goods boxes and peep
through the crevices at the wild, weird
and wonderful spectacle; others more
bashful and retiring will, when the
procession starts, hastily gather their
worldly effects and with agonizing
shrieks of horror HE themselves away
to the primeval forests of Mud creek,
there to dwell as exiles until the plague
shall have given way to smallpox, yell
low fever, the Salvation Army or some
thing less alarming and soul-stirring.
