VOTE THE REPUBLICAN, TICKET
STRAIGHT.

II is good thing TO let well enough
alone, severely SO, sometimes, and this
journal has thought or two in that
direction regarding the office OF sheriff OF
this county and its present encumbent.
There is no necessity for making a ehange,
at present, at any rate. We are very
strongly in favor Of the reelection Of Mr..
Mclean, by reason OF the fact that he
has been and is "A good officer and by a
good officer is meant that he has per-
formed the duties Of his office in the
most minute detail, besides he has regu-
lated a system Of good order throughout
the county that speaks volumes Of his
ability and worth. Under his admins
tration the affairs Of the county have
been well handled, satisfactory TO all but
a very few. The democrats have put up

study his own mind and the good quail

FREE TRADERS Repeating MS
TORY.

The persistency and earncstness with
which free trade attorneys assail the
tariff ON foreign woolS has an especial
Significance when contemplated in con
ncction with the systematic tactics oil the
Golden club, whose avowed object il TO
bring all other nations under tribute to
English manufactures and commerce. So
evident has been the determination To
force wool upon the free list, SINCE the
president sounded the keynote IN his De
cemler message, that there seemed good
groupd for the assertion frequently made
during the tendency of the Mills Till in
the house, that, sufficient concession
would be made in other schedules 10 in
sure passage OF theirce wool clause. And
as IL Is a notorious fact that sundry con.
cessions were made, the necessary votes
secured, and the free wool clause remains
in the bill, il may bewellto recall scrap

What Makes Wages Low in Europc.

Wages are low in Europe-there is no
doubt about that. They are pitiably low.
and, in the continental countries, arc ap-
parently going lower yet. But why?
Those who say that it is because of mis-
taken economic policy in Europe regard
ing imports forget that there is only one
European nation which does not maintain
protective tariff, they forget that on the
continent wages are lowest in those coun-
tries where tariffs are highest and they
forget that all through Europe the pop
ulation numbers hundreds of people to the
square mile. In this last fact lies the
real explanation of the low wages rate

A Damaging Confession.

The Leader goes into considerable de-
tail tC show that reduction of the tariff
would not cheaper anything but wages.
1t says it would not make the cost of food
any cheaper. 1t would not, it thinks, les
sen the cost of meats, flour, butter and
eggs, nor any of the food products that
the farmers furnish. If this is so, what
is the good of high tariff to the farmer?
How can it protect" him when, as The
Leader now admits, it's reduction or re-
peal would not affect him in the least? If
he could sell everything ho now sells, at
just as good prices without protective
tariff as ho does with one, what does he
want protective tariff for? 1t taxes his
Clothes his lumber, his nails, his carpets,
if he has any, and his farming imple-
ments, and now comes The Leader saying
that this precious tariff doesn't help him
get single cent more for anything he
sells. This is the most rascally confes-
sion the tariff trust advocates have made
yet. What sort of vile humbug have
they been putting upon the honest farmer
all these years, nyhow?-Cleveland Plain
