Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1890-09-22
: Tariff


1t is the deliberate conviction of many
Intelligent people that the tariff agita-
ton was, and is, a prearranged scheme
of the politician of both of the leading
parties, and is done for the purpose of
deceiying the people as to the merits OF
the tariff and of other questions of vital
Importance. This conviction becomes
apparent and is confirmed when is con-
sidered that all other questions are ig-
nored, and that the Democratic Mills
bill only proposed a reduction of 5 per
cent, and the Mckinley bill, Republic
an, proposes an increase of T. per cent.
A reduction of per cent. from the war
tariff can afford but little relief, and if
the theory of low tariff advocates. is
correct, the Democrats were either dis
honest or did not have the, courage of
their convictions, and it follows that the
people must look elsewhere for relief.
There can be no reasonable doubt but
that the present tariff operates in favor
of the eastern manufacturer and against
the western farmer. There can lie no
reasonable doubt but that the present
tariff was imposed as a war measure
and was not at first thought of as pro-
tective, and the assertion of Republican
politicians that the present Tariff is
maintained for protective purposes, is,
to say the least, untruthful. The tariff
is an indirect tax paid by the consumer,
and the present high tariff when first
imposed was for the purpose of raising
money to carry on the war; and if our
government had been economically adj
ministercd, the tariff would have been
reduced or entirely taken off. But not
only has the high tariff been maintained
but the Republican majority in congress
is working, might and main, to increase
duties on imports to the amount Of fifty
million dollars The promise made by
the Republican party to reform the tar
iff is wantonly disregarded, and if the
present congress is representative, then
the people have no rights; or in other
words, the rights and interests of the
masses are utterly ignored. How long
will long-suffering people allow itself
to be robbed by its lawmakers?

The Bending Works.

L. V. McKesson, who is here in
the interest of his Bending Works,
has not yet made his plans known.
He, however, was given an option
yesterday by DR.. Carney and N.
Savage, on a lot near Red river rail
road bridge. There is some doubt of
his accepting the offer. This lot will
be gift from Messrs. Savage and
Carney provided he locates his Bend
ing Works on it.
w. J. Ely has lot located in the
same neighborhood which is thought
by some to be a better location than
the Savage lot, and the LEAF
CHRONICLE has it reliably that Mr..
McKesson is thinking of buying this
lot. 1t is understood that Mr.. Ely
has offered the lot very low.
Mr.. McKesson to-day is trying to
make an arrangement for having a
side track put in at Marable's Land
ing, to accommodate cars for the re-
ception of timber. The timber pur-
chased sometime ago is on the OPP
posite side of the river from Mar
ables Landing and will have to be
shipped from that point. The l.. &
N. people should not hesitate in the
matter. It's a settled fact that the
Bending Works will come to Clarks,
ville-so rest easy.

A PEN THAT WAS MIGHTY.
he Forged Himself Into Prison and Out
Again. but is Now in the Soup.

j. Clay johnson has surely been
run to earth and captured at last. He
forged himself into prison and out
again, but Detective Hedrick, of
Memphis, was a mite too sharp for
him and caught him at st. Louis.
The following taken from the
Memphis Commercial will be read
with much interest:
J. Clay Johnson, alias e. M. House,
alias +. ID. Carter, alias w. E. smith,
the prince of tOrgers and one of the
most daring and successful all-around
confidence men in the country, was
captured in st. Louis yesterday.
Johnson passed through Memphis
about six weeks ago, fugitive from
the law at Huntingdon, Tenn. r.
+. Truslow, cashier of the Bank of
Carroll at Huntingdon, tracked him
here and then all trace was lost.
The matter was turned over to De
tective Hedrick, and it is due en-
tirely to his effort that he was cap
tured yesterday.
Hedrick traced johnson to Little
Rock, Argenta, and finally to st.
Louis, where the noted forger ar
rived a month ago. The officer
knew of his presence there, but did
not succeed in locating him until last
Tuesday, when he wrote the police
there, telling them they could secure
the man at No. 1925 Pine street,
which they succeeded in doing.
The surprising part of the entire
matter is that the successful officer
never left Memphis, but located his
man from here.
He will be held in st. Louis until
an officer from Huntingdon reaches
there with requisitiOn papers.

One Million Bonus.

Talk about bonuses for manufac-
turing enterprises, Springfield, o.,
has capped anything heard of in that
line, in bidding against Cincinnati
for the location of the "Strong Loco
motive Works. Springfield is not
half so large or wealthy as Cincin-
natl, but she has offered a plant,
property and cash to the amount of
$l,O00,00O for this new enterprise,
which proposes to build locomotives
with sufficient power and speed to
carry fifteen Pullman palace cars at
the rate of eighty miles per hour.
There is no reason why Clarks-
vile should not take this enterprise
in. Jim Kennedy can raise two
millions easy for such concern, and
that will fetch it.

j. S. Parrish is receiving thanks
from his lady friends from all sec
tions, for his hair-drier, which he is
now introducing to the trade. 1t is
a model of convenience, simple in
construction, and of inestimable
value to ladies. Those who know
Mr.. Parrish are well aware of the
fact that he always tries to please the
ladies, and in the invention of this
hair drier, he has written his name
indelibly upon the momory of the
tablets of the far sex. The LEAF
CHRONICLE predicts large sale,
knowing full well that every lady
in the land will want one.

Sickness Among Animals.

Animals are very subject to worms,
and while such worms exist in them
they cannot thrive, the food that should
strengthen and noursh the animal is
absorbed by the worms; hence, the ami
NAL will have a good appetite and still
continually grow poor. To obviate this
difficulty, give them frequent doses Of
Uncle SAINTS Condition Powder. 1t lis an
excellent preventive of disease among
them, and as positive cure for sickness
common to animals it has no equal. 1t
is guaranteed. For sale, wholesale and

restore this organ to its natural and
healthy state, and cleanse the blood

Fast Railroad Building.

E. B. Whitfield has returned from
a tour through Georgia in the interest
of Central Roller Mills and gives a
very interesting account of his trip.
He met with j. S. Mckee, the gen
tleman who constructed a portion of
the GAINESVILLE and Princeton road
under a contract for Maj. Gordon,
who is engaged on the construction
of the new road south from Macon.
He has 6G5 teams employed and has
completed 100 miles of road during
the past four months. Mr.. Whitfield
says it is the best built road in the
South, 1856 miles now in operation
and built SO quickly that the country
has hardly found it out. The L. q
N. had better send for Mr.. Mckee to
build the Dickson road. 1t will only
be six weeks job for him.
