WEST SOUTH.

Most proper is the meeting of west
erners and southerners in Kansas City
his week most appropriate is this gath
ering of men from all portions of two
sections OF country that have been so
long dominated and robbed by the mon
ey power of the east. Most opportune
is this attempt to bond into one politi-
cal brotherhood two sections, that have
hitherto been at war, through feeling
and knowing that their interests are
one, their destiny the same.
The west and the south have the pop
ulation; they should also have the pow
er of control. But not SO. Ever since
the war, New England and the east,
through their superior wealth, their
bigotry, their pretense to superior wis
dom, their boast of q higher education,
their claim to q purer morality, and
their competency to scheme, and sue
cess ut chicane have dominated the
south and west, kept them asunder by
their infamous plots and hypocrisy
and plotting merely that they might
rule and ruling merely that they might
plumber and rob have well nigh beggar-
ed the one section and reduced TO serf.
dom the people of the other.
If the east and New England are
permitted To continue their game OF
collecting tribute, it is because the pos
sibilities of successful resistance as
empliied in the commercial congress
sitting at Kansas City this week, are
not taken advantage of by those who
are most interested. Once allied, once
bound together, acting as one people,
with a single motive and working unit
eddy in a common cause, the people OF
the west and south become all powerful,
and inyincible. To neglect this chance
is to reject the apples of gold present
ed by goddess the Opportunity.

Grandma Jones OF the St. Louis r

Grandma Jones of the st. Louis Re-
public is trying to down Congressman
Crisp, of Georgia, for the speakership,
and speaks of him as a protectionist or
in words intended to convey that idea.
Here is what Mr.. Crisp says on the
subject of tariff:
ssProte ction takes from the farmer by
force that which is his by reason OF
labor and gives it to the manufactures
in order that he may be able to compete
where otherwise he could not.
"The way to benefit the farmer is 10
reduce his cost of living-not deluge
him with paper duties on agricultural
products.
"He buys everything he uses in the
protected markets, the dearest i'm the
world, and sells everything he has to
sell i'm the free trade markets, the
cheapest in the world"
Wouldn't it be a good idea for Mr..
Jones to cease misrepresenting good
