Congratulations On the Nc
kinley Bill,

New Dominion.
The one present great source of
congratulation among Republicans
over the Mckinley tariff bill is the
operation of that bill in relation 20
sugar.
We are told that about the first
of April sugar will drop two cents
per pound, and the sweet-too thed
masses can season their tea and cof-
fee with sugar at from four to six
cents per pound.
Hurrah, they say, therefore, for
the Mckinley bill
eve told you to wait" they say
"and give the Mckinley bill u chance
and the whole country would en-
dorsc it"
Exactly!
We believe the country will en-
dorse this item ofthe Mckinley bill.
The Democratic party has endorsed
it.
1t is the one item of the McKin-
ley bill that is in harmony with the
Democratic policy on the tariff
In other words sugar is the one
item on which the tariff was repeal.
ed. 1t is the one free trade item OF
the bill. 1t has made sugar cheap.
1t has benefited the masses. 1t has
made living easier. 1t is welcomed
by the whole country.
Now, if the one item of the Nc.
Kinley bill which adopts the Demo
cratic doctrine h resulted so favor
ably to the welfare of the people,
why would not an entire tariff bill
on the Democratic doctrine have
been infinitely better2
Docs it not come with bad grace
from the advocates of a high tariff
to show that q low tariff article is q
great boon to the country?
Is the lack of tariff in the McKin.
ley bill the only merit it possessed
Evidently it is, up to this date.

The New York Herald says: You
had better keep your eye on the
various farmers organizations in
this country. Please remember
that there are about four million
farm owners lying around loose and
they can make a very considerable
row in the politics of the future.
They are knee deep in mortgages,
are cheated out of a fair price for
their products by middle men, are
compelled to sell for what they can
get and forced to buy at McKinly
prices. They are having hard sled
ing and are slowly coming to the
conclusion that a protective policy
is about the meanest thing on the
planet to get square living out of;
in other words they are rubbing
their eyes.

Mr.. Cleveland writes as follows
to the Indiana Tariff Reform
League:
"You will not, hope, think it
amiss if | suggest the necessity of
pushing, with more vigor than ever,
the doctrine of yourNorganization,
L believe that the theories and prac.
tees which tariff reform antagonizes
are responsible for many, if not all,
of the evils which affiict our people.
If there is scarcity of the circula
ting medium, is not the experiment
worth trying as a remedy of leaving
the money in the hands of the peo
pie and for their use which is need
lessly taken from them under the
pretext of necessary taxation?
"lf the farmers lot is hard one
in his discouraging struggle for bet
ter rewards of his toll, are the prices
of his products to be improved by a
policy which hampers trade in his
best markets and invites the com
petition of dangerous rivals?
Whether other means of relief
may appear necessary to relieve
present hardships, 1 believe the
principle of tariff reform promises a
most important aid in their settle
ment, and that the continued and
earnest advocacy of this principle is
essential TO the tightening of the
burdens of our countrymen."

James G.. Blaine is seeking for
markets for the products of our
farms. We have surplus of these
it seems and the homo market is
not able to absorb all of this surplus.
New customers must be had, and to
get them Mr.. Blaine is not looking
for them where we sell most of our
agricultural products, but to new
country and an agricultural coun-
try at that. This does not look
like very wise move. Mr.. Harri
son said in his message that there
were l50,OO0,OOO people in Europe
who never eat white bread. Why
they do not eat it is not because
they do not like it but because they
cannot sell their goods that they
may purchase our grain. Millions
of people over here are willing and
anxious to buy their goods and
millions of people over in Europe
standing ready to trade with us for
the products of our factories, and
our farms. What fools we Ameri-
cans be to allow monopolistic class
and other class of office holders to
step between us. Europe is our
natural market but led by the nose
as we are by false guides like Blaine
and his backcrs the protected man
ufactures, we have neglected it now
in consequence, farming languishes
and the farmers sons crowd into
town to depress wages.-P akers-

Ida Fraser Wants Hunsaker
to Get His Deserts.
So She Attended Her Ex-HuS-
bands Trial Yesterday.
Mrs. Clark Talks FOrcibly to Old Man
Hunsaker.
Miss Fraser Not Allowed to Testify
Several Exciting Incidents-Lulu
to Tell Her Story at the
Trial Today.

There were several sensations IN the
Hunsaker embezzlement case yesterday,
and there are liable to be some more
before the week is much older. Yes
terdav morning when Deputy District
Attorney Phibbs made his appearance
at the district attorneys office, MISS LA
Fraser, formerly Mrs. Ben Hunsaker,
was there. She asserted that she came
I'M to assist Ben Hunsaker to get his
inst deserts. Miss Fraser is hand
some woman, and gives her former hus-
band very bad name. She has facts
and figures to show that he is an adj
yenturer. She also claims that for
eight months hewent under an assumed
name, in order to avoid arrest for some
trouble he had in Modesto. Fortunate
ly for Ben Hunsaker, his former wife
will not be allowed to testify.
Miss. Fraser was in court all day yes
terday. The attorneys for the defend
ant attempted to have her excluded but
their sophistries went for naught. The
prosecution would very much like to
have put her on the stand, as Attorney
Phibbs states that he could have proved
a whole lot by the witness. One parti-
cular instance was the fact that old man
Hunsaker gave Miss Fraser 5000 as ali
mony and $50 for attorney ices. The
prosecution think that this accounts Tor
the $3.50 of the $1,000 that Attorney
Hunsaker borrowed from Mrs. Clark
and failed to return until several days
afterwards.
Very little that was new was elected
at the examination in the morning until
Just before adjourning, when Mrs. Clark
lectured old man Hunsaker as she
passed by on her way from
the witness stand. 1t is asserted
by one or two that Mrs. Clark called
her father-in-law of a few weeks vile
name. Attorney Stephens asked the
witness at the afternoon session whether
she had not called his colleague in the
case a s. of b.. The question was
objected to, and the objection was sus-
tanned. Mrs. Clark denies, however,
that she called him any such name.
She testified that one day in the lodg-
ing-house above the Carlton that she
told Ben she was tired of paying out
money. He got angry and drew a
pistol and threatened to kill her.
Another sensation will be sprung this
afternoon. Miss Lulu MaItell has been
subpenaed from San Bernardino to tell
all she knows. 1t is alleged that Ben
Hunsaker "blew inn considerable Of
Mrs. Clark's good money with Lulu.
Miss Martell, who is also known as
St. Clair, stated yesterday that Ben only
bought her SIS worth OF music. The
woman is not unlike the average woman
She has told number of people about
the expenditures Ben made on her be.
half, and piano, is incidentally men
toned as a slight memento of esteem. /
Lulu does not tell all she knows, a mum
Der of witnesses will be subpenaed.
There will be plenty OF developments
before the end is reached. The examin
alton will be continued this afternoon.
