Dies MONIES, March ga convention
of anti-prohibition Republicans represent
ing the larger cities of the state was held
here yesterday for the purpose of influence
ing the Legislature to pass the Catch local
option bill, which has already passed the
senate. About 100 representative business
men and professional men attended At
the morning session a large committee,
headed by Judge Wright, of Council
Bluffs, was appointed to meet commit
mittee from the Republicans of the house.
The committees met at noon. Judge
Wright, the leading speaker for the anti
prohibitionists, insisted that the anti-pro-
hibition Republicans held the balance of
power in the state, and should be recog-
nired. The house committee would give
no encouragement.
Change of Policy Refused.
The convention in the afternoon passed
resolutions asking the Republican mem
bers of the house to take steps to insure
the passage of high license law, and
pledging themselves to induce the Repub-
lican party to abandon the policy of prohi-
bition. Last night committee presented
these resolutions to a caucus of the Repub-
lican members of the house. The caucus
held secret session and named n commit
tee to draft resolutions in reply, which
will declare against any change in the ex-
listing laws. 1t seems to be beyond doubt
that this Legislature will not pass any bill
modifying the prohibition policy.

declined to place himself in the way of

in favor of Harrison's denomination.

in my opinion, can best be done by
keeping the cause of tempe -ance
separate and apart from political

question. So long as we do this
the cause and its advocates must

il the advocates of temperance or

WHAT THE TARIFF is.

Q Then, why not sesd abroad

A. The government will not al
low you to--at least it will make
you pay penalty OF fifty cents on
the dollars worth, for bringing
than into the country.
= @. Does the. government reilly
ihilict penalty on q citizsn who

he can get them cheaper abroad

A. You may call it what you

derby described as a 'protec i've

ERSHIP OVER THE
WEST.
Q. Has not the country increas-
ed in wealth under the protective
policy, and have not the Western
farming states shared in this in
crease as we'll as the Eastern man
ufacturing states?
A. Yes; but the ownership of the
country's wealth has become, and
is becoming more and more, con-
centrated in the favored manufact-
uring states. Railroads, farms,
cities, towns, telegraphs, banks, in
surance companies aud other forms
Of wealth have certainly multiplied
in the West, in tho last twenty
seven years, and are multiplying
still; but very large part of tho
increase belongs to the Eastern
states. 1t represents wealth first
drained from tho people of the
West, and then re-inyested in the
West. How could it be otherwise?
Protection means enrIchiug the
favored manufactures at the cost of
the farmer-onriching the manu-
featuring section of the Union at
the cost o. the agricultural sections
and the enormous amount of
Eastern capital invested in the
agricultural West (and all drawing
interest and diyidends) only proves
how effective the inequitable policy
has been in transferring wealth aud
power from the agricultural sec.
tions to the Northeast.
