PRACTICAL WORKINGS OF The
MsKlNLEY BILL.

lrun tie Kanns City. No.. Journal.
Never ct any time have tho democrats
ahoun . disposition to treat the No
Kinley hill with any degree OF fAifnssa
suAntsssr. Preceding the last conGree-
sional election, they sssailsd It With
Misrepresentation and f.lsehood to On
nxtent that was remarkable, even foI
Ethst party, despite it, well-sstahllshsd

tlos, despite ths fsct that sbsoluts A9-
urss arc st hand showing Tho operations
Of .hs bill during the 6rrt ten months
OF its existence. The democrats know
all about these figures, for they have
been published broadcast by tho repub.
lican press but they ignore them en-
tirely. They dare not even refer to
them. for they disprove completely all
the charges which they made . year
ago against the bill. In view Of these
undeniable results one would fancy that
the democrats would not attempt to re-
peat their old charges; but with q
brazen disregard Of facts infinitely
greater than year ago, they continue
through their orators, press and party
platforms to charge the bill with in
creasing the prices of most of tho arti-
cles of merchandise going into common
consumption. with increasing the taxes
on imported goods, with injuring our
foreign trade, and as tending to close
foreign markets to our products. etc.
They know that since the bill has
been in operation prices have been de-
creased rather than advanced; notably
so in many of the more common and
necessary articles of consumption. They
know that the per capita duty collected
upon our imports under the Mckinley
bill has been but $3.50, while during
each of the fiscal years Of 1889 and 1890
the duty was 1892 per capita, which is
a remarkable reduction indeed. They
know that during the time in which the
Mckinley bill has been in operation our
foreign commerce has increased to tho
extent of $50, 1876, 1913, of which $780,
202, 131 was imports, and $32, 512, 992
exports. They also know that through
tho Aldrich amendment to this bill our
government has been able to induce
Germany to open up its markets to our
pork products, and that through this
same fundamentally an enlarged an
nusl market of at least $50. 000, 900 will
soon be provided for this product.
Now these are absolutely established
facts, and they disprove conclusively all
the assertions which are made by the
democrats, and yet the latter go on
calmly uttering their worm-eaten false
hoods, evidently under the impression
that inasmuch as they fooled the people
badly year ago on this bill they can
do SO now. This is the only possible OK.
PLANTATION of their conduct, for they
know thoroughly we'll that all their a.
sertions are palpable untruths.
They will find, however, that they
cannot again fool the people. The latter
know what the Mckinley bill has been
doing, and no fine-spun sophistries car
make them believe that it is not accom-.
plishing just what the democrats said il
would not.

The HieeInbotham Case.

The case of the state of Kansas vs.
Higginbotham was before Judge Guth-
RE in the district court. The defendant
is charged with receiving $3.50 on de-
posit when he knew the bank Of which
he was president was in failing con-
dition. The case was brought to this
county for trial on change of venue
from Riley county.
This makes the third time the case
has been tried. The first trial was held
in Riley county and resulted IN con-
viction.
A new trial was secured and the case
transferred to this county and took
place at the last term of court. The
jury failed to agree but it is said stood
eight for conviction and four for acquit-
tai. Hence this trial now is watched
with considerable interest. Sprague
and Tracy are the attorneys for the
state and Mr.. Hessln, leading lawyer
at Manhattan assisted by Judge Mar
tin of Topeka are the attorneys for the
defendant.

And Capital City News OF staAs
Interest

The Labor Commissioners.
The labor commissioner 10 employed
in visiting the industrial establishments
Of the state.
In tho large manufacturing states
this duty devolves upon agents special
~ appointed. but as institutions employ
ing any considerable number of work
ing people are not, as yet, very numer-
Gus in Kansas, the inspection OF work
shops and factories is made one Of the
duties of the labor commissioner.
Mr.. Betton states that, as q rule he
finds the sanitary arrangements fair in
all OF the establishments thus far visited,
the people employed in the upper sto-
ries OF large buildings, not numerous,
and the facilities for escape in case Of
fire usually fully adequate.
Among other institutions visited by
the commissioner during the past week
was the lead and silver smelter at Ar
gentine. This is said to be the largest
smelter Of the kind in the world. 81.
Huber, the general manager, escorted
the commissioner through the immense
establishment. Mr.. Betton states that
formerly the employees were greatly ex-
posed to what is known as the lead sick
ness, q very distressing and often fatal
complaint caused by inhaling the fumes
of ores while in the course of reduction.
This danger wss supposed to be inner
emit in the nature Of the employment,
and practically irremediahle, but
through better ventilation and improve
ments in other directions Mr.. Huber
has greatly reduced thu rate of sickness,
90 that cases Of this character are be.
coming comparatively rare, and the at
tacks - . rule, far less violent. Mr..
Huber has introduced other reforms,
and although the producing capacity Of
the plant has been more than doubled
under his management, and the number
of employees increased from about $50
to upwards of 600, the burden of ex-
haustive labor has been greatly light
ened and the morals of the employees
elevated. A larger part of the ores
treated come from Utah and Colorado,
although small percentage comes from
the company's Mexican mines. These
ores run about TWO ounces $40) Of gold
to the ton, which has heretofore been
separated from the silver in the east,
but works are now nearly finished
which will extract the gold before ship
ment. In addition building is being
erected where the copper contained in
the ores will be extracted, thus render
ing the reduction complete before any
part Of the product leaves the estab.
lishment.
