the matter with our Bro. Mac, Of the
Westlake Nesos, continually trying to
poke fun ct our rice mill enterprise.
We viii send him box Of worm iozen-
ges, and we think il be viii take dose
at night and go fishing the next morn
ing he viii feel better. They viii have
g very good rice mill At Westlake fol-
the capacity, and the EcHo is truly glad
of it but because Westlake has q mill
capable of cleaning 200 barrels Of rice
day, is no reason why Lake Charles
should be, or is, Jealous Of her. Nor il
it reason why we should be satisfied
with less than 1000 -barrel day mill
Nor is II 3 reason why we should 70
have il and We will get it--and dom

Water at the Fair.

A false statement is going the rounds
of the press to the effect that visitors
will not be able to get any drinking
water at the worlds fair without pay
ing for it. There will be an abundance
of excellent water free to all who want
it. Those who wish to drink mineral
spring water, piped to the exposition
ground from Waukesha, Wis, hun
bred miles distant, will have to pay one
cent glass for it. The free water will
be that of Lake Michigan, brought by
tunnel from a point four miles from
shore, and much better than the in
habitants of most large cities are sup
piled with.

Candidate Reid's Humbug Repentance.
The eleventh hour repentance of Can
didate Whitelaw Reid, after years spent
in fighting organized labor, is one Of the
most comic features of the present cam
paign. For years his Tribune had been
a strictly nonunion Office, and it was
only after his nomination at Minneapolis
that he made terms with the organized
typographers.
Meanwhile his belated conversion is
not deceiving anybody, and least of
all the printers. A Cleveland printers
league, with over 1000 signatures, has
been organized in New York city, and
has adopted the following resolution:
Resolved, That we look on any recognition
given labor by Whitelaw Reid under extreme
pressure of political expediency as an insult to
unionism when used as bait for votes.
Reid's repentance fits in well with the
general humbug character of modern
Republicanism. His insincerity is shown
by the fact-known to those who get in
formation from behind the scenes in the
New York Tribune ofice-that the non
union printers whom Reid pretended to
discharge when he made his peace with
the typographical union are actually
still upon his payrolls, to be reinstated
Immediately after the election.
Down with the humbug candidatel
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1892-10-28
The Case Plainly Stated.

The government has the right to levy
taxes for the support of the nation, but
not to favor individuals at the cost of
the masses. Such favoritism has been
shown to individuals for the benefit of
a small minority, and this minority has
corrupted our entire public life in order
to keep the Republican party at the helm.
This outrage must and will be rem
edied through the Democratic party.
The tariff must be denuded of it's mo-
nopolistic character. Reasonable duties
will remain. Free trade is a bugaboo
that the Republicans have called up in
order to brighten the people with belief
that the industries of the country are en-
dangered. Tariff revision is possible
without any such danger. The laboring
man and the farmer derive nothing from
the high duties except an increased cost
of the articles of their daily consump-
ton. Their interest lies in the direction
of tariff reform.-New York Stats
Zeitung,

The so called Mckinley bill increased
the protective" tax by " cents pound
upon importations of tin plate, in order
to encourage the manufacture in this
country of an article not before made
here, but of which we used 100000, 900
pounds annually. This raised the price
to American consumers by about two
cents pound, total of $15,000,O00 a
year, solely to help a few already
wealthy men to manufacture tin plate
at a profit. Expensive ''protection"
that, especially as only about 300 men
have as yet found employment in the tin
manufacturers establishments.
An essential part of the "protection"
theory is that protective tariff creates
new home markets for farm products.
Query: Has the $3O, 100000 paid by the
country in the two years of the opera
ton of the act been a fair price for the
creation of the new "home market" for
farm products in the homes Of these 300
employees of the sheet tin works, who
would use perhaps $4,000 worth in a
year? Does the increase in the cost of
canned fruits, meats and vegetables tend
to increase the consumption of these
manufactured farm products? If, as
claimed, the foreigner pays the tariff
tax, why the law which caused the
United States recently to repay to the
$25, 900, 900 Standard Oil company over
81 500, 900 of taxes paid by it on tin plate
used in cans for exporting oil to other
countries?-Rural New Yorker.
