Nevyr until October, 1891, did our
exports, mostly agricultural, aggregate
500, zoo, 900.
The policy Of protection is to in
crease our own products, whether
agricultural or manufactured. For
long years to come Europe will give
market to our agricultural surplus and
the reciprocity clause of the new tariff
bill will enlarge that market. Ameri-
can free traders foolishly predicted
that the imposition of higher duties
on things that we can make for
ourselves would force Europe to cease
buying from us those things that We
produce and that are necessary to
European existence.
But instead of receiving European
goods IN exchange for all our exports
we are enabled to have a comfortable
cash balance of s129 SAC, 1896 paid to US
in gold for our exports, after having
bought more foreign goods than is
customary. The free traders would
change all this; but is it worth while
to change it?

astute politicians, is rending his under

appointed United States senator. The

TIE impression seems to be preva-

1t is occurring quite as forcibly to the
rest of the state, however, that it would
do no harm to give other institutions
andsections of Kansas chance.

Clay county must have worse cranks
than Dickinson. One of them tele-
graphed to a brother calamityite at
Topeka last week: Watch darkness.
He has called the senate in extra
session without the legislature. They
mean to elect a senator and perhaps
the state without the knowi-
edge or consent of the house." The
cause for alarm was the calling of the
senators to the last ceremonies Of the
lEmeuted Senator Plumb.

A Disgrace to Journalism.

Salina has some newspaper men who
are a credit to the profession, but she
has one Tor whom the city and every
writer in Kansas should blush. His
name is Harry c. Tobey and he is edi-
tor and publisher of the democratic
alliance Salina Herald. His paper
material was sold recently under chat
tel mortgage and out Of courtesy and
pity G. B. Kirkland allowed him to use
the Kirkland Office type and press for a
short time. Kirkland is publisher of
the AgOra magazine, the January num-
Der of which is nearly all in type. The
leading article is by ex-senator Ingalls,
on prohibition and the Republican
Party in Kansas" Taking advantage
of his access to the Office Tobey secured
a proof sheet of the article which he
preceded with IAN introduction and
dated it Abilene, then selling it to the
Chicago Times where it appeared in
full few days ago. The editors of
the magazine at once investigated and
yesterday the contemplate purloiner
confessed his theft. He claims that
the Times telegraphed him to secure
the proof after he had written the
paper the situation. If the Times
stoOps to sneaking to get its news it is
time for decent people to let it alone.
We do not recall so low and con-
temptible piece of treachery in the
history of Kansas journalism. Every
newspaper in the state ought to brand
Tobey for the character he is. 1t is
possible that in addition to the five OF
six dollars he received for the article
he thought he was doing something
smart, but he evidently does not realize
the difference between a scoop" and
highway robbery. AS the article had a
distinct commercial value it is probable
that Tobey will answer for his shame
full action in the courts. In the mean
while the papers of the state SHOULD
"pass him along" 1t is such charact-
ers that disgrace journalism.

Hon. ]. r. Burton for United States
Senator,


Senator,
The present personnel of our repre-
sentation at Washington makes the
appointment of a United States sena-
tor by Gov. Humphrey of unusual
interest and importance to the state.
By the death of Senator Plumb we are
left without any potent influence in
the senate. With the exception of Mr..
Funston, our representatives in the
house are all inexperienced legislators,
and owing to the unfortunate afilia.
lions politically of five of these, they
are absolutely powerless to contribute
materially to the legislative welfare of
Kansas, were they possessed of the
ability and the disposition.
1t is thus of the very first Importance
to the state that the man selected to
succeed Senator Plumb should be the
one best fitted for the place, and the
one who will most likely be able to
WELD the most influence in the national
Legislature.
The requirements are many and
great. He should be a man of legisla-
tive experience and one who has proved
himself not only competent legislator
but skillful and competent leader in
legislation. He should have a large
acquaintance with public men and
measures. He should, all other things
being equal, be man of great physical
endurance, as we'll as of great mental
capacity. He should be a successful
business man and one who understands
the economic questions now pressing
upon the American people for solution.
He should be fine orator, leader on
the stump, as well as polished,
scholarly speaker.
Such man we have in the person of
our own town smaD, the Hon. ]. R.
Burton. He is young and active, a
fine lawyer, an orator without super.
ior, to say the least, in the state; a
fearless and fOrceful debater, a success
full business man, well versed upon all
economic questions, thoroughly in
formed upon the history Of our country,
an excellent scholar, and above all
else an honest man. He has had large
in state legislation. He
has taken an active part in every state
and national campaign since 1875. In
two national campaigns under the aus
pices of the national committee he
his native state of Indiana,
and in the campaign of 1883 the state of
Maine. He is personally acquainted
with a great number of Our most
noted public men, including many of
the United States senators. He would
not enter the senate stranger.
Dickinson county, in which Mr..
Burton has resided for the past fourteen
years, sends to Governor Humphrey |
the name of the Hon. J. R. Burton for
United States senator, with the full |
confidence that if appointed the state |
Of Kansas will have IN him a senator of |
whom it can be truly said that be is a
worthy successor of the Hon. Preston

The Kansas City Star throws out
this suggestion for what it is worth:
kansas is a great state for societies
and reunions. 1t occurs to the mind
that this would be particularly good
time to organize society of candi
dates for the senatorship, with head
quarters at Topeka, for semi-annual
reunions and banquets. The member
ship might be limited to say 300 at the
start, to be increased as the faFpers
alliance disintegrates or as the popula-
ton grows. This would be charming
social feature and would doubtless aid
a future governor who might not be so
positive in his views as Governor
Humphrey"

Hops is another agricultural pro
duct which the Mckinley bill was
going to make costly for the consumer,
at least so the free traders said. But
did it? We imported ,S28 pounds
of hops in October, 1890, rushing in Il
great many before the Mckinley bill
took effect on the 7tb, and we imported
only 1881 pounds in October, 1891
But then the former were valued at
1905, $40 or 80 cents a pound. and the
latter at S2O,864 or SO cents a pound
only. The tariff somehow isn't as
much of a tax as it was before the
Mckinley bill was passed. Why?
Because that bill has promoted Ameri-
can production and made the American
consumer more independent of the
tariff.-[N. Y. Press.

Foreign Commerce and Protection.

Enlargement of our foreign commerce

While selling more than formerly to
Europe we have bought more from it..
But not of things that we can make for
ourselves. The Mckinley bill, by
reducing or repeating the duties on
what we do not make at all, or not in
sufficient quantity, gave an opportun-
ity Of buying more freely than before
in foreign markets. On the other
hand, by placing higher duties on what
we can make for ourselves it increased
domestic products and reduced prices.

bought more largely from US than ever
before, the figures as to American
