The Irvine Trust.

Farmers in the wheat growing states
of Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Mis-
souri, are alarmed at the threatened
advance in the price of binding Irvine.
A correspondent of The Times at
Oxford, Kansas, asks the following
questions:
What is the present duty on binding
Irvine? What is the duty on the raw
material? What is the price of Irvine
in England?
The present duty on Irvine is 35 per
cent. ad valorem. The duty on sisal
and jute, the material from which the
Irvine is usually made, is three-quarters
of cent a pound. The average price
of Irvine in this country last year was
about Is cents pound. The average
price of Irvine in England and Scotland
is about cents a pound.
It is reported that the Irvine trust
controls the manufacture of twlne in
this country and has bought up enough
of the stock left over from last year
and made since to have firm grasp of
the market. The trust evidently intends
to cOrnor the market and advance the
price. Some say the price will reach
25 cents pound before harvest. The
duty and expenses of importation make
the tariff prohibitory; so that the COM
bine is guarded by the kind protection
of the government from any COMPETE
ton. The farmers who use the Irvine
have no protection.
Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Mime
sofa gave heavy republican majorities
last year and apparently the farmers
of those states desired to inderse the
tariff and trusts. It might be in place
to ask what they are complaining about
now, and why? They approved the
system and are now trying to escape
the consequences of the system. If
they want one, they ought to be cheer
full under the other. They can not get
rid of the consequences without getting
rid of the cause.
But no advocate of better system
cares to waste time in jeering at the
sufferers. If the people of the western
states were deceived by their political
leaders, there is so much more reason
for keeping before them now the work
| ings of the tariff. They will be nearer
emancipation when the next time of
voting comes. The Irvine trust will
pinch them this year and some other
trust or association will pinch them
next year. With period Of quiet
long enough to finish digestion of the
mass of facts elected last year and to
locate the pinches, the farmers Of the
west will be tariff reformers in down.
right bulldog earnest in time for the
next congressional electioDs.-K. c..

GOOD men for the places, regardless
of politics, should be the desire OF
every voter in Great Bend.

THE boomers in Oklahoma will
create demand for all the surplus pro-
duce Kansas can produce, and thus will
good come out of evil. The boomers
will not get into the territory in time
to put in crops this year, and therefore
will have to draw from the plenty OF
their neighbors. Kansas is next door,
and can the easiest furnish what they
want.

With each distinctive favor shown any

SAN FRANCISCO, July 25th.-The tail
enders to-day gained the honor of being
the first club in the California League to
shut out the San Franchises. The score
was-Sacramentos 5, San Franchises 0.
The visitors put up a magnificent fielding
game, playing together like clockwork. and
some of the catches made in the outfield
were far above the ordinary. Gagus' two
catches, one of which was taken in center
field, received well. applause Nc
Laughlin's error was missed third strike
in the first inning. Veach's errors con-
sisted OF dropping thrown ball and his
failure to catch pop fly.
The home nine also put up good game
in the field, but could not find Burke when
hits were wanted. Burke was very steady,
with the exception of two wild pitches, and
4 few of the hits made off him were
scratchy." He was excellently supported
by Mclaughlin, who gathered in some
difficult fly catches.
Newbert's play at short was very fine,
some of his stops being made on lively
grounders, and his catch of fly to deep
field was phenomenal.
In the first inning Goodenough scored on
bis own triple and McSorIeys sacrifice
In the fourth inning Veach scored on his
single, Burke's hit and Perrier's wild throw
to catch him at third
In the sixth inning Burke went to sec.
ond on Thompson's wild throw of his
grounder, and singles by Newbert and
O'Day sent him home.
In the ninth inning Roberts hit for a
triple and scored on O'Day's single, and
the latter took second on throw to the
plate. Goodenough's single sent Harry
to third, and he stole home when Shea
caught McSorley's foul fly. Following is
the score:

AMUSEMEETS.

At the Clunie Opera House this evening
Thatcher, Primrose & Vests minstrel
troupe will appear. 1t is as full and COM
plete, it is stated, as when it achieved its
great success in San Francisco, except that
one of the partners is in retiracy under
legal proceeding by his fellows. It's
conceded that it is the richest costumed
troupe ever on the road, and that in stage
settings, original design and historic repro
auctions of the attire of past centuries, il is
superior to any other troupe outside of the
great dramatic companies. The company
is strong in musical lines, in variety per-
formers, and in the athletes the Byrnes
family being especially fine. Mr.. Pagan in
the Military Review" is said to be strong
attraction, as also are Wood and Shepard,
comical but excellent musicians, whose
solos are pronounced by experts to be of a
high order. Among the troupe is 7. B.
Dixon, the tenor, than whom no one in
America can so effectively sing "Sally in
Our Alley" a song that has made his name
known the nation over Another favorite
singer with the troupe is Frillman There
are very many features of the entertain
ment, only portion having been named
The very warm and laudatory notices
given the troupe by the San Francisco
press justify expectation of very superior
entertainment tonight.
