A BITTER SWEET.

Free sugar has made the American peo-
pie very sweet on Maj. Neutrality-suspicious.
| poria Republican.
Whether it was the removal of the
tariff on sugar, or the war between the
sugar combines that has reduced the
price of sugar to consumers, it is fact
that that necessary commodity has been
cheapened, and the people would indeed
| feel gratified at the benefactiOn if its
good effects were not nullified just at
this particular season by the contrary
and opposite effects of the tariff, or COM
| bines, or something else in advancing
the prices of other necessary articles that
are intimately associated with sugar in
their use and employment. We mean
tin and glass. The price of tin is three
dollars box higher now than it was be-
fore the new tariff law was en-
acted, and the price Of glass fruit
Jars is from 25 to so per cent higher,
which advances more than counterbal
ance the reduction in sugar in the cost of
preserving and canning fruits. And the
burdensome effects of this is not only
felt at the present moment, while the pre-
serving season is on, but will continue
to be felt throughout the year by the en-
tire community of consumers, for obvious
reasons. SO you see that, practically,
Mckinley sugar turns to apples of Sodom
as it is borne to the expectant mouths
upon salvers of Mckinley tin and glass.
In a word, it is just such inequalities as
these that are found throughout the
much vaunted Mckinley law that rem
ders it obnoxious to many people.

THE TRUE THEORY OF PROTECTION

TO the Editor of the EAGLE.
We are a progressive people, and in
passing from a monarchial to a free and
Independent nation we necessarily have
to drop all we borrowed from the mon
arch, one of which was the appointment
Of salaried officials, gift which has
been badly perverted by both old polit-
ical parties in influencing and purchas-
ing votes. The people were to blame in
granting the privilege and the politicians
and now must be abolished. The people
must rule TO be freemen. 1t seems as
though Satan himself took a hand in the
division Of the spOils of Office and legal
lied options, trust and combines to rob
the people. He also brought from the
monarchies Of the old world the army
and navy, which have no pace in a free
republic. The providence of God IS
wor more for protection than all the
combined armies OF the world, including
Satan himself.
In regard to tariff protection, there is
but one true plan to 10 govern Us IN the
development of our country, and that is
to tax everything that comes to our mar
ket from abroad. There Is no such
thing as free trade II we would be indie
pendent. The best plan l see TO dispose
OF the revenue Is TO appropriate IT 10 the
payment of our Indebtedness. This
ought to receive the approval Of every
freeman in America and every bond
holder in the world. It will then give
us an opportunity to build up a none
tary system Of our own by which we
can make legal tender dollar as good
ana in some respects better than a dollar
in gold. As long as we are in debt as at
present it debars us from that right. II
we had no foreign alliance with gold we
would be virtually free. Let Us, then.
aftix q tariff on everything foreign. 70
get out of debt. and IS far as possible
make each department Of our govern
ment support itself Let the postage pay
the expense OF the mail service; the
htigant the expenses of the court, etc.
and make direct tax 10 pay the nee
essry expenses OF the government This
VIII tend 10 cut down all Uuueces-
sary expenses. and viii, / believe, re-
duce the cost of government 10 500 co.,
600 year. Il. E. RpwEL1

The Kansas City Gazette calls on north
ern Republicans to quit the solid south
and help fight northern Democrats. The
Gazette's advice is good. The truth of
the matter is the Republican party has
always suffered more from the BUSH
whackers at home than from the enemy
over the border. Whenever we have
crossed over to attack the organized foe
upon his own ground the renegades have
taken advantage of our absence and tried
to play the devil and often succeeded.

The defeat of Gen. Wade Hampton
for the United State from South Caro-
lima, and the close call Gen. Gordon had
of defeat in Georgia, some time ago,
seemed to indicate the era of exConfed-
crate supremacy and political control in
the south was at an end. But here
comes the announcement from Missis
sippi that Gen. Ethel Barksdale over
whelmingly defeated Senator George
for the senate At this distance Missis-
sippi politics seem to be in chaotic con-
dition. 1t has been understood thatBarks-
dale favored the sub-treasury scheme
which was voted on and defeated by a
large majority, and yet Barksdale rep
resentatives to the legislature were elect
ed two to one. The brigadiers are not
endorsed in the state of Davis and La

A farmer near sedgwick CITY has lust

A farmer near Sedgwick City has just
marketed lot of hogs fed on alfalfa,
with daily allowance of two bushels of
corn to sixty-two head of hogs and seven
yearling steers. The hogs have remained
in pasture three months and gained over
100 pounds each, and the steers over POS
pounds, and allowing nothing for the
gain in the value of what they cost per
pound to what thay are worth now, and
only counting on the value OF the in
crease and what another similar lot will
gain in the next three months, he figures
up at the present price of beef and pork
at over SAT to the acre for the use of the
eleven-acre pasture, after allowing 80
cents a bushel for the corn. Surely this
is a profitable way for Kansas farmers to
grow cattle and hogs.
