The Farmers Markets

All things seem to be working to-
gether for the good of the American
farmer, and we take pleasure in re-
Winding him that they have been set
at work by Republican policy. The
latest beneficial movement is the re-
moval of the embargo on American
cattle; this is the work of Ambassa-
dor Phelps, acting under Instructions
from the Republican Secretary of
State. Moreover, Mr.. Phelps has
been able to create an extensive de-
mand for American beef in the capital
of the German empire, and to induce
| German capitalits to invest $50, 10000
in slaughter houses at Hamburg,
mainly for the preparation Of Ameri-
can beef for the German market. The
prohibitory orders against the intro
duction of the American hog are also
likely to be repealed as a result of
Republican diplomacy.
Let US review what has been done
for the American farmer since the
passage of 'the Infamous Mckinley
bill, and either directly or indirectly
because of it.
The Brazilian market has been
made free to United States grain and
meat.
Millions of dollars worth of Cana
dian produce has been excluded from
competition with United States
produce.
A bounty has been provided for
every pound OF beet, maple or sor-
ghum sugar produced.
An impetus has been given to the
industry of wool growing.
The German market has been re-
opened to American beef.
Millions have been, or are being,
spent in the erection of tin-plate
works, the operators of which will
be consumers of farm produce.
One American .tin-plate factory al
ready is producingroofngpl plates at "a
little lower cost than that of foreign
goods of like weight and quality"
This being a purchasers testimony.
The duty on cheap sugar has been
repealed on high grades reduced to a
merely nominal figure, with the all
but certain result of reducing prices
by cents pound after LIST ofApril.
The wholesale prices of fannels and
some other wooden goods are shade
lower than at this time last year.
Freights are lower than in any other
country of the world.
So is the price of nearly all farming
implements.
Farm produce is bringing better
prices than at this time last year.
These things being thusit is difficult
to suppose that the American farmer
will be anxious to change them for
those to which he or his father was
accustomed in "the good old times of
free trade" when hogs were worth 2
cents and sugar worth Is cents a
pound.-Chicdgo Inter Ocean.

a column to the joint business, and

gospel praying for more men "of the

who pose as being living exempli6ca-

go on extended sprees in Colorado;
more men who stump the state making
prohibition speeches for political effect
and when missing connection at small

PRESTON B. PLUMB.
c. X. HOLIDAY, JR, T
Secretary.

The death of Senator Plumb, on the
30th inst. of apoplexy, is felt by all
Kansas people as a serious loss. He
was a man of large heart and great
mind; one whose friendship once gained
was always retained. We believe he
ever worked for the interests Of his
party. While democrats found plenty
of just cause for criticising his political
acts. no man who knew him-be his
politics what they might-could say
that Preston B. Plumb was not man
whose friendship was a pleasure. He
treated all men alike.
In 1875 the editor of the DEMOCRAT,
then but STRIPPING youth, left his home
to battle for himself. Starting for
western Kansas, and seeking employ
ment of any kind, we CHANGED to drop
into the Emporia National Bank OF
which Senator Plumb was then the
president. Making our wants known
to him and expressing willingness to
do any kind Of work that was honorable,
We received a cordial greeting from
Mr.. Plumb. He asked about our home,
our desires, and past experience and
gave many an encouraging word, end
ing BY giving us employment, the first
we secured after leaving home to battle
with the world, and though we worked
for him but Short time, he never for
got the boy who sought employment
from him. Whenever he came to Great
Bend he took the time from his politi-
cal duties to call at this Office and ask
after our welfare and to chat sociably
over the events of the past. He was a
friend who never forgot, and one not
to be forgotten.
The work Of the great man is done.
The sun of his strong mind is set, gone
down in all the glory of a useful life
made radient by good will to man. A
startled nation mOurns with sober
thought and strong regret that one sc
powerful and full of manly attributes
should all to quickly cease the work OF
busy life and go to dwell alone within
q silent tomb. Numberless and widely
scattered are his. friends, and full az
countless are the good deeds which in
life this manly and untiring friend ha:
sown among mankind to live and bloom
forever in our memories.
He died as he desired that dealt
should come. quick, and untorturet
with the worry and distress of linger
ing illness; passed out of busy lif'
and into the unknown at speed com
mensurate with the labors of his days
May his soul rest in peace, and ever!
