The intelligencer., 1890-04-26

about kind of millennium for candi-
dates right now:
"TheLewis county democratic central
committee has adopted resolution re-
commenting candidates to refrain from
the habit of treating voters to cigars,
etc, which we think is q very good
idea, and the resolution we notice is
signed by all the candidates in the field
is in number. The practice of treat
ing, says the committee, is unjust to the
candidates, demoralizing to the party
and injurious TO the public morals.
Editor Burnett, of the Paris Mercury,
seems to be all struck of heap, as
appears from tins:
"Our farmers are delighted to know
that diamonds and kangaroo skins
have been put on the free list. Farmers,
if the high tariff system is still main
tanned, will wear many diamonds-in
their pants-and kangaroo skins by the
barrel. Oh, ye republicans, who hath
warned ye 10 flee from the wrath TO

Editor Stratton, of the Marshall
Democrat. News, joins the Intelligcncer
in a laudable work. lie says:
"The Lexington Intelligencer is
urging the old soldiers of Lafayette to
90 TO work to raise funds for the ex-
confederate home. The southern men
of Saline should join in the same work.
There are few old ex-cOniederates
who are disabled and poor-thank God
HOT many are in that unfortunate con-
| ditiOn-bIt those who are needy have
a strong claim upon every southern
man."
Editor T. w. Mablcy, of the Doni-
phan Prospect News, has this idea as TO
the senatorial contest:
"IIon. Jefferson Chandler, OF st.
Louis, opened his campaign as can
didate Tor the United States senate last
week by delivering a speech at the
Pickwick theatre in St. Louis. Mr..
Cha ndler is an able man aud would
make his mark i'm the senate, perhaps.
But Senator Vest, whom he wishes tC
succeed, is also an able man, one of the
abest III the union, and his long eX-
pcrience and standing make him muct
more useful man to Missouri than Mr.
Chandler could possibly be for some
years TO come. and the peOp.e will, WI
think, decline to retire Senator Vest tC
make room for Mr. Chandler"
Editor w. Il. Wright, of the Pulaski
County Democrat, calls attention to
epublican misrepresentation as TO tn
tariff in this incontestable manner:
"When a journalist or politician
asserts that Americas protective tarli
! is paid by England. he either display
+ objectionable ignorance on his owl
part, or presumes largely OH that o
his hearers or readers. Never in tht
history of this world has England paIC
: one cent OF protective tariff To America
5 and the most unlettered and untutoreC
man with ordinary common sense
shoald be capable of knowing it with
q moments thought. A tariff which doe
1 not restrict imports is not protectiv
;. tariff A tariff which prohibits impOr
n taiion brings not one cent into tn
United States treasury. Hence it
utterly impossible for England to pa
t any part of protective tariff. Thi
OIJ tIC StuuDOIH ttiLb CNCi
+ iota of a protective tariff is paid by th'
consumer to the manufacturer OF tn
u protected article. Protection is clas

# and unreasonable III practice, and mus

existence. a tariff for revenue only
the only logical and practical solutio
C of the problem"
Editor &. f. Cochran, of the 81
3 Joseph Gazette, looks at it tins way:
v "a republican paper admits ch,
=, there is something rotten in the repu
- lican party in many of the southeI
|. states A glance at tho records Of Du'
Z ley, Clarkson, Quay and others wi
n assisted in elecling President narl

in some of the northern states. The

u Editor w. Il. Wright, of the Pulas
County Democrat, thus calls attenti'
&c to a slick trick, which it will do
he watch in every close county i'll I
nc state:
GA certain member of the Farmc
b. and Laborcrs' Union, who was an @
IL thusiastic advocate of the resoluti,
he adopted at the last county mcetin
ch demanding the suppression of the be
AT combine, went home from tho coun
re union and called his sub-uniOn tOget
cd cr for the purpose of consulting abe
ne county officers. lie told them Il
IL they ought to lay aside party fecli
or and atliiiatiom in the selection of cou
re- ty officers, and elect men of both pa
Ial ties. lie said that SIS the democr
la, were in the majority in the county, ,tl
lat should have the greatest representa-
ed on tho ticket, and he, speaking tor
al republicans. would be satisfied W
nd the representative, and let the den
en Gratis have Ill the balance OF the coui
1nt offices. AS he said, the republics
,an only want the representative! why
ed they want the representative! SIM

es- either a knaVe or n fool. Ii he was h,

ted Vest is the head and front and origi

ice is hypocrile, and supported the re
