The First Gun.

The first gun CT the national campaign
was fred by Congressman McMillen when
he opened the debate on the tariff gues-
ton in behalf Of the majority of the
committee of ways and means. Nothing
is more true than the present congress
was sent to Washington to correct the
evils of the highest tariff taxes ever levied
in this country, and the most extravagant
appropriations ever made in time of
peace. Mr.. Mcmillan said:
THE tariff law has now been in opera
ion for year and five months. Where
re the beneficial effects that were to fol-
low from il? Where are the magnificent
prices the farmer and wool grower were
&c realize from il? Where are the in
creased wages the labOring men were to
get? l say the farmer realizes from two
to three per cent less on the pound from
his wool than he did before, and l chal>
lenge any representative here to point to
a single line of manufactures in which
laborers wages have been increased by
the law"
These are the kind Of blistering facts
which the McKinleyites will be called
upon by the people to refute, as the Keoo
kuK Constitution Democrat most aptly res
marks. They will not be blinded by any
bogus tin badge dodge. As Mr.. McMillen
says the bill was passed under the pretense
of desire to benefit the laboring man and
it may well be asked what benefit it has
been to him. Under the provisions of
this bill the manufacturers Of wooden
goods have been forced to use shoddy as
q substitute for wool, and the people
pay an enormous price for the imitation
which would even be too much for the
genuine. The summing up of 25 years
of experiment with high rates of duty on
wool shows reduction by one-half in
the number of sheep raised in the states
east of the Mississippi and Missouri riv.
ers. and reduction of about one half in
the rates of wool The wool m anufac.
turers have not been encouraged. They
have been restricted in the markets sub
stantislly to their country. in
the quality of wool they could afford to
buy under the high tariff. The boosted
removal of TIE sugar tax was shown Ut
in its true light. They removed the
sugar tax which yielded eight ninths OF
its benefit in the treasury and but one.
ninth to the manufacturer, only to place
many millions more than the sugar tax
on other things where but one-fourth OF
the laws exsction went into the treasur,
and three.fourths into the private Golfers
of favored manufacturers. As the
speaker said, the whole bill is character.
lied by constituencies fsvoritism for tn,
few and merciless oppression of the
many. The manufacturer alone is con-
sidered while the consumer is never con
sidered. The speech was disclosure
1t uncovered the infsmies Of the unjust
law to the light of reason. The key
note of the campaign is sounded in Mr..
Mchilllsn's closing remark: This bat
tie is on and is on to the finish On one
side is arrayed the democratic party in
favor Of just taxation and on the other
side its opponents clamoring for exces
sive and unjust taxation"

wished to please her too-but rather be-
cuse he was sbetter able to stand being
gouged than she was.
When she had thanked him after the
first donation very prettily in her old
servants names, and said that they ap-
preciated his kindness, he had laughed
right out and replied at once:
No, they don't. They like the things,
not me. Bless your soul, Mrs. Beverley,
| that old Niger hates me worse than a
rattlesnake. He'll eat my -four and
bacon, though, and my coffee will 90
down all right, even if he curses me be-
tween swallows. / don't blame him:
the things taste good, and you ought not
to have the whole burden on you. You
won't let the county help, you know, so
I'll stand in the countys place. don't
mind it, assure YOU"
Mrs. Beverley did: she minded it hor-
ribly, and would fain have had old
Patrick reject the aid thus given. She
found him quite content, however; the
provisions had been sent by another
negro, and there had been some excite
ment and Importance in unpacking and
Inspecting the things, and some vain
glorious enjoyment in the distribution
of bounty in their turn to other negroes
less fortunate; there had been no I'M
pleasant contact with the donor, and old
age, like childhood, forgets easily. Mary
forbore to disturb the old mans peace
Of mind, or to reawaken a grudge that
apparently was laid to rest
But she felt that she had fine, stall
wart grudge of her own, and that it was
rapable of growing. Both his consider
ttion for her and his method of showing

sharpness one morning before breakfast,
''every human creature. do believe, in

You have never treated me with proper
consideration or respect, and | may as

Mrs. Beverley was paralyzed by the
suddenness of this onslaught, its virr-
lence and the time selected for it. In
most natures conbativeness is at low
ebb before breakfast; the system usual
ly Graves something more sustaining
than excitement. Then. too. Miss Cor

Nothing less than an overwhelming need
to free her mind would rouse her from

beheld her relative enter the dining

dicatioEs are at present, will elect he-
publican council. The vote will not be
SO very heavy, but big majority may be
connted for the Republican party.
The recent splits in the Democratic
ranks have been so numerous that IL will
take many months before the members OF
the party will put aside personal feelings.

persons nominated by the members OF
the Democracy have dropped out. The
Democrats are running for Council to-
day: George Spencer, Webster Knight
and Frank Archambu.t. Mr. Knight Is
thoroughly Republican In politics. and
his many friends will vote for him prin-

Democratic town committee can actually
depend upon but two persons favorable
to their cause upon the Democratic
ticket.
The ticket which will be elected when
the polls are closed and the ballots count
ed will be Enos Lapham, Webster Knight,
