THE corn burners of Kansas are rising up with
q vengeance and their wrath is that of the
awakened confidence victim. descending with
swift vengeance on the head of his betrayer.
That they are in earnest when they demand a
lowering of the tariff and the privilege of Sc
caring an adequate market for their product, is
evidenced from the utterances of some of their
ablest Republican papers, which have called
halt to the blind adherence to Republican dem
agogues and the class legislation of that party,
and are waging hot warfare on the Protection
Robbers who are beggaring the farmers of that
splendid State Their eyes are opened rapidly
to the monstrous tax burdens heaped upon them
by these pretended philanthropists and they are
making last desperate effort to redeem them
selves from their thralldom. This, of course,
means that they endorse the position taken by
the Democratic party on the great economic
question and are preparing for transfer of po-
iitical influence. that Kansas will in 90 roll
up another 50 600 majority, but which will be
for tariff reform and Democracy. and fall with
exterminating effect on the party that has so
long and wickedly deceived them.
In commenting on a recent interview with
Judge Sluss. a prominent citizen of that State.
the Wichita Eagle, one of the ablest and most
influential Republican papers in Kansa IS, (Re
publican to the backbone. too) devotes column
and half to express itself. We wish every
voter in Portage county could read the entire
article, for they would then see the bold fallacy
and damnable duplicity appearing daily In Re-

from this paper, and our readers will bear in
