Gle:
GAS further evidence 0i the way the
farmers are benefited under the beautiful
system of republican high protection,
we call their attention to the folio " lug
card this week received by one of our
merchants:
ST. Louis, Mo Dec 16, 1889.
Dear Sir.-Owing to recent heavy
| advances in the cost of raw material,
we are obliged to withdraw all quota
| lions on iron and steel goods. The ad.
vance at the mills already amounts to
SO per ton on common bar iron, $40
per ton on Bessemer steel, and $lS per
ton on Norway iron. Prices have also
advanced from 10 to go per cent on
| staple goods, such as anvils, chains,
bolts, wrought wagon hardware, etc.
Other goods must rapidly fall i'm line.
The markets are all firm, with strong
upward tendency.
So it goes, the price of the farmers
product is on the down grade, while
the price OF his machinery and tools ia
OH the up grade. The things the far
mer has TO purchase to make his crops
and keep mp his farm, advanced 10 to
20 per cent; what he sells, cattle, hogs
and grain, decreasing 10 to 20 per cent.
Protectionl deceptive name for class
legislation and special privileges,
thou art jewel! You protect the rich
from getting poor, and protect the
poor from getting rich"

| Editor Blanton, in The Paris Appeal
very sensibly observes:
at docs seem to us that the papers
OF this state are making a great fuss
about nothing In discussing the cleo
ton of successor to George &. Vest
Does anyone doubt that Vest will sue
ceed himself ? Or is there mlu in the
state as popular with the people as that
brilliant man who has been such an
honor to Missouri in "a. United States
senator There is not. al this talk of
Governor Francis h', candidate for
Vests place is the Ih"rest nonsense, for
Francis is too sensible man to oppose
the man who has such hold on the
hearts aud confidence of the people oi
this state--the Kansas City Times and
all other sOre- heads 'to the contrary
no'witi,s,anding.'
