''WHAT good to Kansas farmers is
the duty of 50 per ton on hay?" is a
question often asked as if it were a
poser which would overturn the whole
protective system. The Cleveland
Ohio, Leader, seems to have a practical
answer to the question in the following
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 car
loads in a single day, in the season for
such shipments. 1t is just 81 a 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
a ton keeps out the Canada hay and
gives the Kansas farmer a chance to
market part of his surplus product

Indiana Rnra For HGriaon.

John L. Miracle, of this city. has
just received the following letter from
a friend of his in Indiana, in which it
is predicted that that state will give
Harrison 10, 900 majority. 1t will be
remembered that Mr.. Miracle received
a letter from another friend of his
a short time ago in which Harrison's
majority was placed at 5000. We are
inclined to think Mr.. Axtel's guess
will be about it, and that Indiana Will
give Harrison about 10000 majority.
If she does not, the schOol-master and
the missionary should be sent there
Immediately after the election. The
letter is as follows:
BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Sept p, 1888.
John l.. Miracle: You wanted to
estly think that HarrisOu's majority
will not be less than IL. 900 and may GO
above that. Many Democrats intend
to vote for Harrison. This is one of
the years when men are reading and
thinking for themselves, accompanied
with great enthusiasm, not wild ex-
citement but based on sound reasoning,
| the result of reading and thinking.
We feel here that Harrison will carry
every northern State with strong
probability of carrying some southern
States. 1t looks somewhat like a
Greeley campaign for the Democrats.
| We are splendidiy organized in this
State and marching to certain victory.
Hope your State will roll up her usual
majority, at least. A. j. AXTELL.

THE republicans of the Sixth con-

the following resolution:
Resolved, That when the tune comes
when we must decide whether the tax
on whisky or the tariff on sugar shall
be removed to keep oar national rev.

sites of the government, we declare
that the tariff on sugar should be first
removed"
Democratic papers are attempting to
make capital out of it by alleging that
it is direct stab at the republican ma
tional platform. In this, as usual,
they simply show the one-sided
view they take on all tariff questions.
