Weekly graphic. [volume] (Kirksville, Adair Co., Missouri) 1880-1949, 1891-07-03

The town council has given
the city a new police force. Now
let it be demonstrated at once that
protection protects.
-Kirksville will do herself
proud tomorrow. No Adair coun-
ty citizen will need feel ashamed
of her effort to entertain visitors.
Mckinley, who gave the
people 90 pounds of sugar for
dollar, will receive the support OF
Ohio's laboring men regardless OF
party affiliations.
The Iowa Republican state
convention held at Cedar Rapids,
Wednesday. nominated d. c.
Wheeler for governor. The par
ty is splendidly organized and
determined to carry the state in
November.
At the close of business last
week, the United States treasury
contained nearly S50,000,0O0. This
sum does not look very much like
the deficit that the Democratic
press has been talking of for sew
eral weeks.
The proceedings of the law
and order league Tuesday night,
were secret, but it is understood
that the following question was
thoroughly discussed. 'Does
police protection protect in Kinks
ville?" The decision is sal to
haye been unanimously in favor
of the negative.
No nation can grow more
healthy pork than the Americans
should grow from the products of
the farm, fed in a cleanly and SEN
sible way. The filth that is too
often allowed to enter into this
branch of meat production Is the
hurtfuI feature.
Much interest is felt by the
scientific staff of the Agricultural
department in the experiments
which have been made to produce
rain by exploding artificial gases
in the air. 1t is believed that the
experiments will prove successful,
and will soon be practically tested
in the arid regions of Texas or
Kansas.
ireland has been losing in
population for fifty years. In lS4l
the population was S,196,59 and
at present is but 4,706,102, accord
ing to the last census recently
completed lThe country is produc,
tive and a levely one in which to
live. But England's curse of free
trade has silenced its hum of in
dusry and driven its people to
other countries to live.
1t has been decided that
the statement of cash in the Treas.
ury shall, after July l, be made IL
the form which was used wher
1 Senator Sherman was Secretary OF
! the Treasury. This is not OILY 6
compliment to General Sherman
but also a return to the common
sense method which was in vogue
when he WAS at the head of the
Treasury department.
Secretary Rusk has receiv.
ed unofficial information that the
governments of both Germany
and France have decided, in view
of the recent establishment OF
microscopic examination of por.
tions of each carcass, to admit
free of all restrictions, Ameri-
can dressed pork. Official de-
crees from both countries are ex.
pected before the first of October
1t is nonsense to say that the
value offarmers' lands in this coun-
try has suffered decrease through
the influences of the tariff. The
policy that builds up our own
markets, and increases the demand
for farm products for home con-
sumption, is not the one to pull
down the value of farm real estate.
But granting that protection does
this, why does it happen that In
free-trade England land values
keep on declining? The finest
estates have deprecated greatly
notwithstanding that costly i'm
provements have been put upon
them.
