tariff: Suppose the man on our side of
the river had 100 horses to sell, at the
market price of S1O0 each; and suppose
100 farmers wanted to buy each a
horse. They began looking about. and
learned that a Canadian stockman
just across the river had 100 horses
just as good as the 100 on this side,
which he could also sell for S75 each
over there, but which they could not
afford to sell for less than 500 each if
they brought them across the water and
paid $25 head as tariff. The Amer
lean stock man steps forward here and
says: ''I'll sell you these 100 horses for
500 head, if you take the lot" The
100 farmers IF course buy the Ameri-
can horses; but they pay. each man OF
them, just $24 head for the horses
more than they would have paid but
for the tariff. And who is the gamer?
The ONE MAN alone is benefited, at the
expense of the 100 men. That is fair
sample of the workings of the Ameri-
can tariff laws of the present day. The
benefit of the privileged few at the ex-
pense of the unfortunate many.

along on the American side who wanted
to buy two horses. He gave s1OO to the
American for his horse. and told the
Canadian he would give the same for
his. The Canadian crossed over. but
before doing so he was compelled by
the American tariff law to pay a duty
of $50 on has horse; he sold to the

the tariff? says Mr.. Banta. We desire

Wedding Anniversary.

On Tuesday, Aug. Is, Mr.. and Mrs
Hickman received their friends at theil
home in Stafford county, the occasion
being the thirty-ffth anniversary OF
their marriage. The guests began to
arrive in the morning and found the
house prettily decorated with growing
plants and flowers and were made
heartily welcome blythe host and hostess.
After pleasant time spent in CONVEX
sation, dinner was served and upon this
part of the program more than pass
ing word should be given. The long
table spread with snowy linen and
decorated with fancy cake was truly
an appetizing sight; but when the
platters of chicken and its accompani-
ments came round all did justice to this
most elaborate dinner. This was a
good time and place to consider the old
time scarcity of fruit and vegetables in
Kansas, and the striking contrast now.
The ''Linen Wedding was remem-
bered by the friends in the form of
many beautiful gifts of linens in all
forms, and other handsome house
furnishing articles.
Late in the afternoon, after the guests
contrived to demolish several fine Stat
ford county melons. all drove home
feeling that they had spent most
charming day and Wishing Mr.. and Mrs.
Hickman many returns. Those present
were:-Mr. and Mrs. Paxton and
daughter Cora; Mrs. and Miss Hyter;
Mr.. and Mrs. Miller; Mr.. and Mrs.
Stricken; Mrs. Smith; Mrs. Lizzie Smith

Jerry Simpson Nominated

At the Dodge City convention of the
democrats of the 7th congressional dis
trict of Kansas, held on Tuesday,
Aug. 18th, Jerry Simpson was
nominated by a vote of 70 to s3e-just
two to one of the vote cast. The con-
vention was the best represented of
. any convention ever held in the dis
trict, there being but two counties not
represented.
We are unable to get full report of
the convention ready for this issue of
the DEMOCRAT, but will have the re-
port next week, a copy of which will be
mailed to every committeeman in the
district.

KANSAS should have the Australian
ballot System. Both the democrats
and peoples party men aresin favor of
it, and as that element will win all
around this year it is pretty certain
that we will have the secret ballot sys-
tenn before many years. Another thing
that both the democrats and peoples
party men are in favor of. is new
constitution. The republicans were toe
cowardly in their state platform to
state their position on constitutional
convention; but it is well known that
they oppose it. They manipulated the
laws to their own interests so long that
they are fearful OF change.

A MAJORITY of the p. p. delegates in
the convention last Saturday do not
want democratic votes for their repre-
sentative, senator, congressman or
state candidates. So far as the state
ticket, and electoral ticket is concerned
they will have to put up with the dis
grace of being voted by democrats
but thescounty ticket will not get a
single democratic vote.
