The Kansas City Times announces
with unusual pride and prominence
that it will publish a series of articles
on the western march of manufactur.
ing and remarks that 1t ia one of the
signs OF prosperity that the west is
able to manufacture so much of lis
own goods. What rank heresy is thist
Does the Times mean to insinuate that
manufacturing is good thing for a

manufacturing done IN England and
proposed to turn all these fair valleys
into producing places for raw mater

A Real oBillion DOLLAR Congress.

A Real Billion Dollar Congress"
The senseless and ridiculous cry Of
the democrats In the 1890 campaign
concerning the "billion dollar con
gress" of the republicans is reacting
in a manner calculated to make the
criers somewhat ashamed OF them
selves. This is billion dollar country
and the democrats who have complete
control of the appropriative end Of the
present congress are discovering that
fact.
Congressman Betzhoover, Of Penn
sylvania, a democrat, serving his third
term in the house, gives the New
York World table Of appropriations
by the first session Of tln last congress
and the first session Of the present con-
gress by items, showing that the total
for the former was $iG3, 30s, 5l0.70 and
for the latter isalready Sls8, sOi, 500 50.
Aud this not all. Mr.. Bel'zoOyer
makes bold to show up the hypocrisy
Of his pirty's yaunting5 against the
"billion dollar congress by the follow
