The above illustration is taken from
the St. Louis Republic and the figures
are just what the importer would en-
counter should he seek to bring in
foreign goo6s. But the duties were
never intended to be paid. They were
purposely made prohibitive. Mckinley
and his associate robbers know that
the duty of SO ,2o2 on $4,000 worth of
goods cannot be paid, hence foreign
goods will be shut out and the petted
boodle-furnishing manufacturers will
realize the greatest possible portion of
the So ,202 stolen from the people. The
Mckinley tariff was intended to fence
this nation off for the benefit OF certain
interests, which in compensation were
to divide their stolen wealth with re-
publican managers to be expended by
the latter in buying the Offices that
control the nation. 1t is reciprocity
among robbers. The republican party
says to the manufacturers and asso-
ciated trusts and combines: "Give US
money to purchase our election and we
will repay you an hundred times over
BY passing laws that will enable you
to. in the most genteel manner, rob
every man. woman and child in the
country" This conditi on of things is
so clear that we wonder how any one
can fail to understand it. 1t is aston
soh: hok H. a.
that any other issue is half so import
ant as the tariff.-Kingman Demo-
crat.

THE MAIN issues before the peop

THE MAIN issues before the people
today are more money and less taxes;
more freedom of thought and action
and less coercion, demagogueism and
party bossing; more freedom of trade
between this country and others, and
less of the manipulation which puts the
fate of laborers and mechanics in the
hands of capitalists and Office holders.
The democratic party is now in a fair
way to win the law making positions
and power, and when they do the
policy that has brought about the
present deplorable state of affairs will
be side tracked and the great train of
progress given a free track. The
democratic party is the only party that
has show of wrestling controll of gov
ernment from the hands of the party
which has SO long abused its power,
and there is no manner of reason why
the voters who believe in the true
democratic principle of "a government
of the people for and by the people" !"
should 60 off on an independent tack
after q set of would-be leaders whose
only aim is personal advancement.
The sober thinking Kansas man will
pause long before he throws away his
vote by casting it with forlorn hope
and thus aiding his natural enemy, the
republican party, to win still another
election. The man who is honest in
his desire for mach needed reform
will adopt the surest means of bringing
about such reform, and when he can
vases the situation carefully he will
see that there is no hope whatever of
the third party, or peoples party, win
ming in 1892: and even if he does think
that that party comes nearer to his
idea Of peoples government he will
see the folly of throwing away a vote
on it this year.

A Boston trade journal has this to
say on the wool question: 1.-THE wool
market here shows no improvement in
condition. The demand for extra and
double extra woods has been 80 in
different throughout the current season
that dealers are disposed to reduce
their holdings in preparation for the
new clip. and in the effort are accept
ing the lowest prices that have pre-
vailed for many years." What have
the republican howlers, who have been
condemning the democratic congress
for attempting to put wool on the free
list, to say to thisp Kansas has not
many wool growers, thanks (?) to the
republican tariffs, but she might as
well have continued good wool

policy been Supported long ago.

No SOUND democrat can advocate
fusion with the peoples party unless a
sound democratic platform can be
agreed upon. With three tickets Gin
the field the republican party is certain
of political victory in Kansas. There
is no material difference in the princi-
pies of the anti-republican forces in
Kansas, and there is no reason why the
end of republican rule in Kansas can
not be realized at the coming election.
A party old as the country itself, and
holding as it does the balance of power
in Kansas, should never think of re-
pudiating its principles for mere gain
Of office. -HOlton Signal.
