Oct. 6, 1890, will live in history as
one of the dark days that mark the be-
ginning Of the oppression Of the peo-
pie, the plundering Of the many for the
sake,of the few. the grinding of the
poor for the benefit Of the rich. In a
time of peace, with millions piled in
the treasury Mr.. Mckinley introduced
a bill Hto reduce the revenue and equal
ize duty on imports and for other pur-
poses.n Yesterday large majority of
the provisions of the bill went into eff
ect, and how completely the bill is a
misnomer, except as to the words 10th
er purposes" was demonstrated In the
stores of Cleveland. Inquiries made
by Plain Dealer reporters developed
dissatisfaction and disgust in many
quarters and the general expression
was that higher prices on the necessa-
ries Of life will result from the enforce
ment ofthe Mckinley bill. To show
the discrimination in favor of the rich
it is only; necessary to examine the fol-
lowing table indicating some of the
changes made by the Mckinley bill:

The foreign prices are those at or un-
der which foreign manufacturers sell
their agricultural implements. The
American manufacturers make profit
at these prices. All above these prices
is a clean gift to them by the tariff,
which robs the farmers to that extent.

SuperStitiOuS Miners.
From the New York Sun,

FROM Tue new lOFk oun.
A remarkable story is told in
connection with the explosion at
the Morfa colliery in Wales. 1T is
stated that recently the fremen of
the pit-men who are always
selected for gravity and RESPONSE
bility-have heard inexplicable
noises, "shoutings" as they are
described, in the workings, and
that these have not been heard by
one person alone, but by several,
when in company examining
the pit. Further, a miner re-
turning to the surface felt himself
to be accompanied by some invisi-
BILE presence, which, although not
seen by him, was perceived by the
banksman to land on the bank, and
hastily make Its way to the shed
where the injured and dead are
now carried. 1t is alleged that
these strange phenomena were
described previously to the explo-
sion and caused several GOLFERS to
refuse to descend, in spite of their
thus becoming liable to prosecu-
ton.

A Second Term,

FROM the hanSdS Clty Hines.
Hon. r. H. Norton, member of
Congress from the Seventh Mis-
souri, district, has some rivals afeld
who will contest his denomination.
Although Norton is serving his
first term he has made a good
record. The Sedalia Gazette points
to the retention in their seats of
Bland, Hatch, Heard and Doekery
as illustrations that the one term
principle has little acceptance IN
Missouri when the sitting member
proves worthy of his constituency.
There seems no sufficient reason
why Norton should not succeed
himself.

To the Democrats of Salt River Township.
MEXICO, Mo-, May 12.-It is
known to many of you that 1 am a
candidate for reelection to the Of
flee of Constable of Salt River
Township subject to the Democrat
ic primary, yet there are many
whom I have not been able to see
personally. To such I desire to
say that I am now asking for the
Office for a second term. 1 believe
it is strictly according to Demo-
cratic usage and custom to re-elect
an officer after having satisfactorily
discharged his duties for one term.
This l have, at all times, endeav-
ored to do. If you believe 1 have
in a measure SO done, I trust you
will give me your votes and active
support. I should have called
upon every one of you personally
had not my duties as Constable
demanded that I remain at my Of
flee when not absent on business.
There are times when the legal
rights of parties are put in jeopardy
if the proper officer is not on hand
to serve process and other papers.
This is my reason for not having
made a canvass of the township. l
hope further excuse will not be
deemed necessary by you, and that
you will give me your hearty sup
port for reelection.
