The farmers of Kansas are slowly ris-
ing to an appreciation Of the fact that
they cannot prohtably sell their corn to
Mexico under tariff policy which ex-
cludes the lead ores of Mexico from
this country. Accordingly, the farmers
Of Kansas are beginning to call upon
their Senators. ard Representatives in
Congress to vote against the proposed
exclusion of Mexican ores by a prohiD-
itory duty. Ab the same time the Col
orado silver miners declare that they
contributed 500, 900 to the Harrison
campaign fund with the understanding
that Mexican ores should be prohibit
ed; and they insist that the bargain
shall be kept in good faith. What with
the double fear of losing Kansas votes
and Colorado money the Republican
managers are in dilemma in regard to
the lead ore tariff. ff.-Philadelphia Rec

MILWAUKEE, Wis, March 19.-Thc an
nual Department encampmcnt of the
Grand Army of the Republic convened
in this city yesterday morning. The
morning session was wholly taken up
with business. After the credentials of
the delegates were presented and APP

fected. Department Commander Fergu-
son read his annual address. and Colonel
Gray gave his report as Assistant Ad-
jutant General. Both were referred to
special committees.

in which he said that on visit to
Washington recently he discovered that
the congressman and Senators wero
irrevocably opposed to the Service
Pension bill, which will call for $780,

year. The Dependent bill. which calls
for about S36, 600, 600 annually additional,
he was confident would be passed with

veterans taking what they could get in
stead of asking something that was i'm

EN-, the present rate being specific
This is considerable reduction.
The committee has not yet settled
what duties shall be levied upon lead
ores, this being one of the few matters
yet to be definitely passed upon.
Among the new legislative provisions
proposed in the bill is one that no i'm.
portatlons shall be made into the United
States which do not show plainly the
country from which they are imported.
This is done in order to put stop to
the practice. which has become very
common. of sending foreign goods into
the United States with American brands
thereon, the purpose being to deceive
the public, and have the wares sup-
plant American goods which have es-
tabllshed regulations. The bill also re-
peals that section of the statutes which
gives to the United States, and con-
tractors under it, the right to import
supplies into this country free of duty.
by this means it is intended 10 require
the United States and all of its officers
and contractors to be bound by the laws
which it establishes for its citizens.
The bill, it is thought, will reduce the
revenues about sixty million dollars,
and of this reduction about twenty
seven million dollars will be secured
by the cut on sugar, and from seventeen
to nineteen millions by the internal
revenue features of the bill.
The free list, which contains, with a
few exceptions. all the items in the
Senate bill. and a few others which
were not in the Senate bill, will, it is
thought, make a reduction of between
one and a quarter and one and half
millions of dollars. The revisions made
throughout the tariff schedules are ex-
pected to make up the difference be-
tween the sums named and sixty
million dollars

ROBBING THE FARMERS.
How Ten People Are Enriched at the
Expense of Ten Thousand Others.

How Ten People Are Enriched at the
Expense of Ten Thousand Others.
For every dollar that the farmer pays
cut for his children's school books, he
gets TWENTY-FIVE cents worth of books
and seventy-five cents worth of protec-
ton to trusts. The twenty-five cents
pays for the paper and all the labor rep
resented by the book, and the seventy
five cents goes TO swell the pockets OF
people who have not earned 1t. In this
school-book combine we have merely
one of the schemes by which the farmer
is systematically robbed. The transac-
ton merely means transfer of the sew
enty-fve cents from the pockets of peo-
pie who have earned and created this
money to the pockets of producing,
bloodsucking vampires. 1t helps to
make ten people richer, and 10, 600 peo-
pie poorer. i is on par with the rob-
berries committed by the aristocratic
highwaymen of the middle ages. 1t is
tax on education, and tends to keep
the poor in ignorance. The prohi bitory
price of school books restricts the use
among the masses. Twice the mum Der
of books would be used, twice the mon
CIV paid out to the employees of paper
mills, printing establishments, book
binderieS, etc, if these books were sold
at reasonable price. In short, this
whole business is an outrage which the
Legislatures of every State could very
easily correct, or put an end to by prop
er legislation. Why is it notdone? But
this is only a straw which shows (which
way the wind bloweth." 1t is exactly
the same thing in other and larger
things. 1t has come to this. that the
farmer must support others, idlers, in
luxury, and when he complains that
farming does not pay, has it thrown in
his face that he is extravagant and
aspires to things that are above his sta
ton, because he is not any more content
with the log-house, the homemade ia.
bles and benches, the home-spun clothes
and primitive style of living of his fore
fathers. rs.-Philadelphia Practical Farmer.

Serious Collision on the Northwestern.

struck it between the baggage
car and smoker, throwing the lat

severe fractures and can not possibly
recover; two others received injury to
their spine which may prove fatal, and

TAXING THE POOR.
Imposts Levied for the Benefit of q
Favored Class.

Favored Class.
just now there is an attempt in some
circles of high-taXers to protest against
the proposed reimposition of the tax on
quinine. 1t is claimed that this is a tax
on misery and fever beds, and therefore
should never be made.
But it must be kept before the people
that the tax on quinine is no more
burden upon misery and fever beds than
IS that which increases the cost of every
blanket to the profit of a few grasping
monopolists. There is no half way in
this matter. If the tariff really re-
duces the cost and selling price of COM
modities, then it would be worse than
cowardice for the high takers to refuse.
the benefit of this form of taxation to.
the sufferers who need the quinine.
But if il be true that the tariff is sought
by the quinine monopolists sim ply that
they may increase their levy upon the
sick and helpless, then the same is true
as to blankets and every other necessity
Of life which is taxed for the benefit of
class and at the expense of the masses.
The tax on lumber is tax on fever
beds. The same is true as to every
article used by the people from the
cradle to the grave The statement
that the Philadelphia manufacturers of
quinine demand the restora tion of their
power to levy tribute on the people in
the form of quinine tax, is proof that
they know the full effect of the tax, ard
that it will add TO their profits proper
tionately as it robs the poor of their
rights. Let the people understand this
matter and there will be fewer taxes
levied for the benefit of favored class.
