ACKNOWLEDGES THE CORN.

Says the Minneapolis Times, DEM:
Roasting of the grand results caused
by the tariff, Mckinley said: Our
expectations have exceeded our i'm
ports. This is true, and is always
the case with nations whose trade is
restricted by tariff laws Then it
would seem that a tariff is a good
thing. A nation is like an individual.
If it pays out more than it receives. it
can not long retain high degree of
prosperity. In the above the Times
simply Acknowledges that if our pro-
tective system was swept away, our
imports would exceed our exports,
and money which we now pay for
home manufactures would go abroad
for goods, thereby depriying our in
duStrial classes of that much labor.
But the injury would not stop there.
The wOrkingman deprived of work a
portion of his time. earns less and
consequently has less TO devote for
the necessaries and luXuries of life,
and the farmer suffers to a certain eX-
tent for a market. 1t is evidently
for better, and free trader will not
dispute this, to have a balance of
trade in our favor than against US,
and if it is caused by the tariff. it is
simply a more powerful argument in
favor Of the protective system.

DOES NOT INCREASE THE COST.

In giving his reasons for being a
protectionist, to the AnaeTlcan E1col,-
0miSt. Ex-Governor Hoyt. of Pennsyl-
vania says:
| am a "PrOtectionist" because the
welfare and happineES of the people
in America depend on their ability to
enjoy the necessarieS. conYenienceS
and comforts which our manufacture
ers supply. There is no other source
OF adequate supply for many such COM
modities except A71seF5cdn HdRlydc-
t9ue7iS, SO that the American manufac-
turer is more indispensable to the
American people than the American
people is to the manufacturer. While
American labor is more efficient and
more productive than labor elsewhere,
it yet remains inconteStibly true that
there are thousands of commodities
which cannot be made by our artisans
az competition with JOlC priced labor
elsewhere. II the laborers here are to
consume this class of manufactured
goods. the industries which produce
them must be shielded from destruc-
tive competition or the producer
must live in some other country. If
he lives here he must either make
them or 90 trithO1u them; he cannot
bug them, for the reason that there
is no something else" he can do by
which he can earn the purchase money
for the foreign article. Nobody but
an economic idiot would now contend
that the Protective duty adds ''sou
marque" TO the cost of the commodity
Its only effect is to give the market TO
the American producer. The Free
Trader may beat about the bush with
his speculation. dogmatism, sOphis-
tries and insolence, but the root of
the matter lies within the compass of
the foregoing proposition of facts.

Last Saturday evening after the
friendly curtain of darkness bad envel-
oped the city, Mrs. Bertha Moore and
Miss Blakely went to the Santa Fee yards
where they were expecting the arrival of
a car of coal. They found some cars
standing on one of the tracks, aud Ber-
tina climbed upon one to determine
whether or not it was their car. While
Inspecting the same switch engine
came along and struck the other end of
the car. causing the lady to leap hastily
to the ground. She made the descent
so gracefully that all would have been
well had not one foot CHANGED to aiight
upon the rail in time for Il car wheel to
pass over it, completely crushing off the
toes. Her cries attracted brakeman,
who assisted Miss Blakely to carry her
friend to the dwelling of Mr.. joy near
by. Surgeons were called in and
removed some of the injured bones, leav-
ing the heel and part Of the instep, and
the injured member is in fair way to
recover. We are advised that the a. T..
4 S. F. Company ordered Il ton of coal
sent to the unfortunate lady the next
day, and at church collection was
taken up for her benefit.

What the Editor Gets.

The following unidentified waif of a
sermon is deemed worthy Of reproduce
ton in our columns:
When the child is born into the world
the physician is present and gets about
$40 for officiating at the important event.
The editor heralds the advent Of the
stranger and gets cursing for making
mistake as to sex or date of arrival.
After a while the same child becomes .
man; the minister is called to perform
the marriage ceremony and the parson
walks off with 90 bill in his pocket
for his trouble. The editor is again
called upon and chronicles this event by
drawing on bis imagination to make the
bride and groom the best and most re-
spectacle people In the country. His
only pay is to be asked for q few
"sample" copies Of his paper to send to
some absent friend. In time the once
baby. once happy groom, but now we'll
advanced man, Is brought down to
death. Again the physician is called
In and makes his bill; the undertaken is
present and officiates at the funeral, and
in time wants 900 for performing the
last sad rites, while the editor is expected
to complete the drama by holding up the
deceased as model gentleman. and one
who at present is singing the song Of the
redeemed around the throne Of God in
New Jerusalem. The probabilities are
at the same time that the baby, the
groom and the dead man, had been so
Internally stingy that he had stinted his
wife and children and had never con-
tributed one cent to the support of his
local paper. What does the editor get?
He gets the very - on all sides for
mistakes that are not his fault.

%. p. jenkins showed us through the
palatial Oriel Block, which he is prepar-
ing to open up "a one of the finest hotels
in the west, under the title of ''Hotel
Hardesty." We first entered the Office
in the southeast corner of the block.
This is magnificent room, about 24x60
feet, with lofty ceiling, freshly painted
throughout. We next entered the capa-
cious dining hall, something like 22x65
feet, with fourteen foot ceiling, and
plate glass front on Chestnut street.
New paper and fresh paint adorn walls
and ceiling here also. Workmen were
here engaged in putting in a neat
little elevator to convey platters of viands
from kitchen to dining hall. The kitch-
en- is neatly fitted up in the basement.
On the second floor we found eighteen
large outside bedrooms, clean and
bright with new paper and paint, the
workmen being still busy putting on the
finishing touches. Mr.. jenkins plan is
to cut window through the side walls
in each room, and have the most perfect
light and ventilation, each one al
ready having a skylight opening. The
southwest room, which is grand octag-
onal apartment with bay window. is the
ladies' parlor. Every piece of furniture
and bedding in all these elegant cham
bers is new, bought expressly to fit up
this building in becoming manner, so
that Dodge City can boast of y more at

Like unto themselves the Fair now
in progress under the management of
the ladies Of the Presbyterian church, is
proving itself very attractive. 1t is GER
tainly popular place to pass the eve
ming. Supper is being continually serv-
ed by genteel colored caterers. who have
been engaged ar no small expense.
Throughout the evening strolling child
Ministries enliven the scene with medley
songs in every known tongue. The
many booths representing different for
1eign countries are presided over by both
ladies and gentlemen, and are made very
attractive. Last evening we noticed the
booth at the west end, on the north side.
designated as the Art Gallery Of Italy
and Greece, for some reason unknown
to MS, was attracting large crowds. We
supposed 1t was caused by the populari-
ty of the ladies in charge. But when
We came to inspect the interior Of this
gallery, We learned the real cause Of
such marked attention shown that part
Of the entertainment, especially by the
scholarly visitors. 1t seems that the man
|agement had at great expense procured
hundreds of p paintings from the brushes
of the most famous masters, which COW
er the walls in decorative array. The
room is also filed with fine statuary
from the chisels of the oldest and most
renowned sculptors. In glass case are
displayed beautiful floral specimens cut
from the gardens of France. Foreseeing
that considerable time would be occu-
pied by visitors in examining the art
display, the ladies in charge have pro-
vided a supper. You should visit this
booth early in order to avoid the rush.
The fair is proving big success finan-
cially and otherwise.
