Our democratic editors have much
difficulty In holding themselves to-
gether. 1t turns out that the meeting
at Newton on the 9Th inst, was FAR
from harmonious. There was only
one thing about which they could all
agree; that was that they wanted to
get together, For the purpose Of
currying favor with the alliance they
declared themselves for free silver, yet
three fourths Of them were outspoken
for Grover Cleveland who is free sill
yer's worst enemy. They spoke about
tariff reform" but they were not
certain whether they were Mills tariff
reformers or Crisp tariff reformers and
so they iualiy concluded to await
developments and adjourned to meet
at Kansas City, Kansas, on April
2nd, at which time they hope to be
able TO discern which way the tariff cat

better calculated TO do the farmer u
direct and serious injury than the des-
truction Of $4,000 900 sheep IN this
country. Just how Mr.. Springer ex
poets to aid our farmers by transferring
all the profits of wool growing to the
farmers of Australia and Argentine
Republic is beyond comprehension. II
will certainly not benefit the other
farmers In the United States II the
million men now engaged in wool
growing are compelled to go into other
branches OF farming already sufficiently
crowded.
The pretense or excuse that the
present tariff In wool increases the
price OF wooden goods to the consumer
is not borne out by a single fact. No
injury to the consumer has resulted
from the law Of 1890. Notwitbstand
'ng the fact that the increase OF the
duties on wool aud woOlen goods WAS
greater than on any other articles ct
import, there has been no increase IN
the market price Of domestic wooden
goods and you can go around to Major
Wise and get as good suit today for
thirty.seven dollars as you could get
one year ago for forty dollars.
But the democratic leader tells the
manufacturer that "wool is to be- put
on the free list to enable him to obtain
foreign wool cheaper, make his goods
cheaper, send them into foreign mar
kets and successfully compete with
foreign manufacturers" OF course
this is solely in the interest Of thu
manufacturer. If the manufacturer
makes his goods cheaper it is because
he pays Kansas farmers less price fOi
their wool and because he pays thu
men who work In the mills less wages
The manufacturer can only reduce the
cost Of manufactures by gettinl
cheaper wool aud cheaper labor. Cheal
farm products and cheaper labor ar,
the logical result of democratic states

A Drive at the Farmers,

One Of the very first assaults which
the democratic congress makes upon
home industries Is directed Mt the
farmer. The ways and means commit.
tee has formulated bill which IL it
passes will effrctually destroy the
sheep industry Of the country. Per.
baps the greatest error in the tariff bill
of 1883 was the uuwige reduction Of
the duty on wool. From the very day
that the law OF 1883 went into effect,
the disaster to that industry began. In
less than four years the tlocks decreased
5000 900 and there was reduction of
the wool clip of As 0OO,0OU pounds
thus taking millions of dollars from
our farmers and giving 1t to the wool
growers of other countries. Prior 10
1883 there were hundreds OF fine Aocks
of sheep In Dickinson county and
thousands throughout Kansas and
sheep raising in this state was a profit
able business, The effect of the law
Of 1883 was to effrctually destroy the
sheep industry In this county and
state. The Mckinley law of 1890
restored the duty on wool and wooden
goo1.--, and sheep industry in ~. .S@ west
has already begun to look up. Large
nocks Were Brought into this county
last fall and are now being yintered
and their owners expect to realize a
handsome income from the wool clip
next April. There 10 10 action that

THE LATEST OUTRAGE.

The hoodlum element which re-
publican supremacy has produced in
Kansas did not subside with the heat
of the campaign, but it has continued
to heap disgrace on our state since
the election. The worst outrage yet
heard of in Kansas was at Troy, on
November Is, where the lawless rem
nant of republicanism made frantic
effort to break up a ratification meet
ing. They threw missiles into the
Popullst procession, insulted speak
ers, cut the harness off horses, and
above all shot and tore down Ameri-
can flags, to show their loyalty to the
lately deceased party. The ADVOCATE
will speak more fully of this later.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-11-23
ELECTION FIGURES.

In this issue is given the state and
district vote on congressman as taken
from the election returns. The tabu-
lation of the vote on state officers,
senator's and representatives is de-
ferred for another week, and perhaps
longer, on account of the tardiness of
county officials and an inclination on
the part of the secretary of state to
hold them for the official canvass on
the 28th.
The returns will show, however,
that Lewelling is elected governor by
a plurality of about 4,5OO, and ma
jority of about 500; that Harris is
elected congressman-at-large by q
plurality of about 5000, and q ma
iority in proportion; that the majori-
ties for the remainder of the Popullst
state ticket will be about the same as
that Of governor, excepting Prather,
whose majority over Bruce will be
much larger than the average.
The proposition for constitutional
convention received about 115,000 for
to about 114,00O against, showing that
nearly 100000 voters failed to vote on
the proposition. This, Chief Justice
Horton says, defeats the proposition,
while Attorney General Ives says if
the law is constructed the same as it
was when the prohibitory amendment
was adopted, the proposition is car
ried.
The senate will be organized with
rs Populists to Is republicans. The
house, according to republican
figures, still stands: republicans, 81;
Populists, So; democrats, 3; inde-
pendent, /; tie (Coffey county, l.
The official count, as the table
shows, will give a majority to Funs-
ton in the Second district, and it will
be necessary for Fl. L. Moore to ex-
pose the election frauds in Wyan-
dotte IN order to secure his seat in
congress.

part OF the great exhibit in 1893.
The work Of organization was con-
tinued. and organizations were made in
a great majority Of the counties for the
purpose Of collecting necessary funds and
materials; each association being charged
with the duty Of collecting the exhibits
TO represent their respective counties in
the display. The State Fair association,
at Topeka and theSouthern Kansas Fair
association, at Wichita, and number of
county fair associations, rendered valu-
able assistance by offering exceedingly
liberal premiums at an early date for
samples Of farm products from the crop
of 1892, conditioned that all samples of
products entering the competition be
turned over to the board of managers
for the Kansas exhibit. We have now
on hand material enough to make a very
creditable exhibit Of agricultural pro-
ducts, and q number Of counties have
made collections that are still in the
hands Of the county associations.
Our two lady managers have visited a
large number Of counties, and organized
Women's Columbian clubs, who are col
lecting and preparing exhibits to repre-
sent the history, progress and achieve
ments of the women of Kansas, and we
feel certain that they will present an ex-
hibit that will be an honor to the state.
We were allotted one of the best sites
on the exposition ground for our state
building, and have erected building
that is credit to the state. A large
number of states have built club houses,
and will entertain their visitors in recep-
tion rooms, psrlors and dining rooms.
The greater part Of our building is de-
voted to exhibition purposes. We have
Office rooms on the first floor, which will
be made bureaus Of information, and
have parlors and a reading room in the
second story that will be pleasant and
comfortable places for visitors; but the
prominent feature of our building is the
large exhibition rooms in both stories,
where samples Of our products and re-
sources in collective exhibit may be ex-
smined by the people Of the world.
1t has been the purpose Of our board
Of managers to do only those things that
were absolutely necessary to be done in
order to hold our place in line with other
states until the legislature would meet,
and then ask the state to assume the
enterprise and relieve US. We have taken
q lot and built the house, and made
large collection of exhibits, because it
was part Of the work that If done at
oil had to be done prior to the meeting
Of the legislature, and could not be done
afterward.
The management has been economical.
The secretary, who has devoted his en-
tire time TO the work, has been given
salary Of $50 per month. He is the only
paid officer connected with the enter
prise. The members Of the board have
given much of their time to the duties
Of their positions, but they have served
without pay. The two lady managers
have given their entire time and received
no compensation.
Much profitable work might have been
done in the development Of display Of
our mineral resources, which are vslu-
able and cover o wide range, but we have
not been supplied with funds that could
