the repeal not only of the bounty but
the tariff" This is the view of a
Louisiana republican = that if the
people were aware of the exact nature
of the tariff they would destroy it root
and branch. The bounty men and
high tariff claimants may as well be
warned, for there is something in what
Yarmouth says. 1t begins to look as
if the republicans had run against a
stump, even in their favorite PROPOSE
ton to cut down the sugar duties, for
the Kansas and California republicans
are as much opposed to it as the Lou
isiana democrats. For, as Mr.. Nc
Kenna of California pointed out, 10
reason on the principle that the sugar
tariff should be reduced because we do
not produce half the wool we use, or

Exploits of n Bold Thiei


Frank ("Tiny') Belz, who has al
ready gained a reputation in this city,
and has served his time in the Reform
school of this state, has gotten into
more serious trouble. He was a black
smith and for few months past has
been employed at Beetown, in the
shop of j. Jamison, where he has sew
eral times been detected in doing the
unfair thing by his employer. Last
Saturday he took money from several
persons and put it into his own pocket,
and marking it dGwn upon the book
as credited. lie was caught at this by
Hr. Jamison on Saturday, and as
trouble seemed inevitable, it is sup
posed he thought it high time for de-
parture. He seemed reluctant to do
his'traveling on foot, and as several
horses wsre tled To the Ga.lIIn5 near
the saloon, he made inquiry of several
boys who stood near, concerning the
whereabouts of the owners. He final
ly came to fine gray mare owned by
John Raisbeck and upon learning that
he was not near and the coast was
clear made his escape with the horse.
When Mr.. Raisbeck came out to go
home he found that his horse was
gone, and upon further looking con-
Cluded that Bell had got the horse and
had gone, no one knew Wither. Early
Monday morning the sheriff was dis
patched in pursuit Of the runaway,
oyertaking him near Montfort, and
brought him back in the evening. He
had started from Montfort toward
Cobb when caught by sheriff Thomp-
son and still had the horse, which he
had several times tried to sell

A econ ONE ON Ia TOILETTE.

The Madison Democrat
\ Washington correspondent relates
how old Henry Clay Yarmouth, of
Louisiana, nearly frightened poor la
Toilette to death one day during the
deliberations of the ways and means
committee Yarmouth is a big sugar
planter. lie appeared before the com
mittee to advocate a higher tariff on
sugar. When he had closed his argu-
ment, La Toilette asked him if he
would not be equally well satisfied
with Il bounty Of as many cents per
pound as the tariff he asked for would
increase the price of the product.
The correspondent then dwellS upon
the look Of blended pity and surprise
and Indignation that the grizzled old
Yarmouth east upon the innocent
young man! He then proceeded to
explain to La Toilette that under the
"bounty system the people would
see what they were paying and they
would know exactly how much the
cost of sugar was increased per pound.
But under the protective tariff laws
the people were befogged by the terms
and classitications and between "spe-
citic duties and /" ad yalorem duties
they finally lost their grip and let the
whole matter go.
This testimony of Warmouth'S is
important. And it should not escape
the attention of the poor tax payer
1t affords wholesome food for his
thoughts, And especially it should
not escape the attention of the ship
bounty and other subsidy hunters, as
well as those who are now insisting
upon extreme rates of tariff protection.
\ bounty for his product, he said,
would be destructive of the industry
after one year, q because to single out
that one industry for bounty would
disclose the fact that the tariff is a
bounty, and the people would demand

During the campaign Of 1888 re
publican papers of Wisconsin printed
extracts from letters alleged to have
been written for the Chicago Times by
Melville +. Stone, the known
founder Of the Chicago News, who was
sojourning in Europe. These letters
represented Mr.. Stone, who had been
a strong anti-protectionist as having
been convinced of his error by what
he was seeing in Europe.
Recently The Madison journal res
directed IN extract from one of these
letters and printed it in Il prominent
place ii its columns under the heading
of converts to protection. Many re-
publican papers followed suit. About
two weeks ago the editor Of the MI
waukee Journal wrote Mr. 60
quiring if he had eXpt
of heart, and received
reply

were fabricated by the editor of that
paper, whom | am happy to say, is un-
der sentence of the Chicago courts to a
