can suggest plan of relief for the
farmer in FIVE minutes. Modify the
existing tariff laws; reduce taxation;
permit some reasonable competition in
the market; destroy trusts; accord
equal rights to all and special privileges
to none. Do these things and you will
help him. Give the farmer free salt.
That would help a little. You give it to
the fishermen on the coast of Maine
and on the coast of Massachusetts; why
not give it to the farmer? Give him
free bagging, in which the farmer of
the west sacks his corn, and with which
the farmer of the south wraps his cot
ton. Give him some reduction on his
hats, on his wooden clothes and on his
cotton goods. In that way, and in that
way only, can you benefit the great
mass of the farmers of the south and
west. You cannot increase the price
of their products by protective tariff
duties, but you can decrease to them
the cost of production and of living by
reducing tariff on those articles used to
make their crops and on those articles
of necessity which all families must use.

Was II Suicide?

Word reached town Monday night
that one Henry Ludwig. who lived
with his brother, Adam Ludwig about
eight miles south of Great Bend, came
TO his death in a mysterious way.
The man. who is about 60 years old, a
wldower with no children, lived with
his brother recently. He Was not
feeling very we'll the last few days.
Sunday noon, the 9th, he ate his din
ner as usual, Int cigar after dinner,
and started out doors No particular
attention was paid to him, and TO
apprehension as to his safety was
felt until he failed to come back to
the house in the evening. Monday a
search was made for him, and our
informant says, that he was found,
dead, in an abandoned we'll on the
farm. It appeared he had got rope,
removed part of the covering to the
we'll, tied one end of the rope to TIM
OCl aAu tuO OtuOI Cuu AIOu0u liz uCCA
and jumped in. When found, he was
at the bottom of the we'll, in about
four feet of water with one end of the
rope tied loosely about his neck. It
had apparently broken with his weight
when he jumped, and it is thought his
neck was broken, as the piece around
his neck was loose when found and
would have come off had he struggled
any in the water. The county attor-
ney was notified of the circumstances,
but as we learn no inquest was held.
1t is said that deceased was pretty we'll
supplied with worldly effects. and no
known cause is given for his peculisr
act, if suicide it was. Mr.. Myers, a
near neighbor. and Adam Ludwig
we're IN town Monday to see the
authorities about the matter.

Would it not be both interesting
and instructive for the scholars of
each school district in the county to
form reportorial association and
send weekly letters to the DEMOCRAT
for publication? The practice in pen
manship and composition would be
beneficial to the scholars. A report
er" could be selected each week, and
the neighborhood news could be gath
cred with little or no trouble. To any
school which will send US a weekly
letter We will mali copy of the DEM
oCAT during the term of school. No
misgivings need be entertained by the
scholars that they will not get their
items in proper shape for publication.
We will carefully revise and correct
all such letters. and also reserve the
right to cut out such matter as we
deem shoid not be published. Try it.
scholars. and see II you are not bene-
6ted thereby.

tributes type during the day for print
ers who desire her services in that re-

the Press composing room that they
made up a ground robin" to purchase
her beautiful gold watch for Christ
mas present. I do not know whether
she will see this item or the gold watch

RETALIATION will never be accepted
as component part of any inter-
national agreement, unless weaker
nations are compelled by their very
weakness to submit to unjust discrimi-
nation. Congressman Breckenridge, of
Kentucky. has spiked Jim Blaine's
reciprocity guns by showing that the
'retaliatory clause Of the Mckinley law,
in connection with the reciprocity pro-
vision, Is unconstitutional, unjust, illle-
gal and eminently un,American.
