WHO PAYS THE TAX?

From the Leavenworth Times.
This disingenuous claim that ''the
foreigner pays the tariff is unworthy
the leader of great party.-Atchison
Patriot.
Sir John A. Mcdonald was the leader
of great party in Canada. In tariff
speech he gave an illustration which we
commend to the Patriot and all demo-
Gratis. It is this: A Canadian farmer
owns farms on both sides the line. On
each farm he raises 1000 bushels of
barley. When he takes the barley raised
in the United States to Buffalo he gets
$1,000 for it and carries that amount
home with him. But when he takes the
barley raised in Canada to Buffalo he
must pay 80 cents per bushel duty on it
to the United States and can carry
home only 500 for that crop. From
this case Sir John argued that the for
eigner paid the tax. Will the Patriot
please show us how he was mistaken?

POLITICAL HYPOCRISY.
By Z. T. Van Horn.

By Z. T. Van Horn.
The democratic party is an immense
hypocrite, and there can be no denial Of
the fact. Let me prove it: Less than
two years ago the democrats in congress
voted, east. and west, practically solid
for free coinage bill-for silver uncon-
ditioned. The republicans passed the
present law, which is the practical free
coinage of the product of American
mines. This the democrats opposed as
insufficient, and went to the country on
free coinage issue. They got 240 out
of 1856 members of the house, and with
their confederate alliance friends 248;
Yet with clear majority of 16O over
the republicans, with the. help of free
coinage republicans, they have failed to
pass free coinage bill. Proof number
one-and conclusive.
Next, the original, pronounced oppo-
nent-with an unbroken' official record
on that subject of four years, and the
record of letter written to influence
this congress, is Grover Cleveland-yet
even the men who vote for free coinage
now are doing all they can to make him
president, pledged as he is in advance to
veto the very bill they are voting for.
I am reminded of this from the fact that
every democrat from Missouri that voted
at all voted for free coinage; yet Mis-
souri, democrats are doing all they can
to nominate Cleveland, pledged to do all
he can, If elected, to kill free silver.
And what is true of Missouri is true OF
Kansas, Colorado and other silver states.
Proof number two-and enough to es-
tablish the charge that the party is an
aggregated hypocrisy.
Why is it that all reform movements
draw their membership in the ratio of
five to one from the republican party?
Simply because its educating forces
have made them so-and the whole
party is an advanced force in these pro-
gressive directions. Practical men hold
on to the conditions Of practical work.
There are tens of thousands of republi-
cans to-day better reformers than can
be found in the ranks of any OF the
adjuncts -for that is what
both prohibition and the alliance have got
10 be. The alliance votes in congress are
a rule given for ideas and policies

Phillipsburg Dispatch: A. F. Adee;
of Dana, informed us that he was farm
ing 300 acres of land this year. Frank
is rustler.
Summerfeld Sun: E. W. Young has
just finished marketing 1000 bushels of
fine corn which he has boon holding.
He still has thousand bushels to sell
and will keep two thousand bushels un-
til he makes sure of another crop. He
raised 5000 bushels last year.
Hays City Republican,: In talking
with the farmers in this vicinity we were
greatly surprised to learn of the i'm
mense amount of land that is being
broken this spring. We find some who
will break as high as 240 acres, while
the majority of them will turn over from
forty to one hundred and sixty acres.
Girard Press: A. B. Harms, a farmer
living near Englevale, was in town to
pay off small mortgage on his place,
which leaves his 160 acre farm free from
all debt. He, says he has two acres of
garden planted and up, his land being
sandy, and that gardening pays him.
He thinks that farmers will plant corn
early because much fall blowing was
done.
Mcpherson Republican: We hear
number of wheat fields infested by
Hessian fly. To the naked eye this
pest looks like a small gnat and the
time to look for it is late in the after
noon. Those having not seen the fly
can probably learn something by max
ing examinations as above stated.
There is nothing we know of that will
now destroy this insect except hard
freeze.
Kiowa Journal: Eleazer Porter, who
recently boUSa. tract OF land near
this city, purchased 400 acres near
Roundup two years ago, also tributary
to Kiowa. He paid 5000 cash for the
land, and last years corn crop Melted
him $4,000 He has the land in wheat
this year and expects to clear the re-
naming $4,000, which he will undoubt-
edly do if the year is half what it prom
Uses, making 400 acre farm pay for it
self in two years. That is in Barber
county, Kansas, and affords an illustra-
ton of the quality Of soil we have to
deal with.

APPROPRIATION OF THE ..BiLLlON
DOLLAR" CONGRESS.

A carefully prepared analysis by ex-
Speaker Reed of the appropriations OF
the democratic 5Oth and the republican
Dist congresses shows mp the insincerity
OF democratic complaints of the extrava-
gance Of the 'sbillion dollar" congress.
Excluding the appropriations for def
ciencies in both cases, which properly
belong to the preceding biennial terms,
the 50th congress voted 1888, OIL ,972
for the two years of 1889 80 and the 51st
congress voted s94S, 800, 725 for the two
years of 1892. The increase was
$40, 1872, 1852, while the increase between
the. 49th and 5Oth congresses was $685.
97e,813 Over and above what the dem
ocratic party must admit, by their own
sct, to be natural increase due to the
expansion of the country, the ''billion
dollar" congress added $24, 7O3,949
But it appropriated 2SS millions for
pensions as against LIT millions by the
preceding congress, difference of Ill
millions, or more than the total differ
ence between the aggregate appropria-
items of the two congresses. Excluding
peuSlOuS III DOGu eases, Ouc dpPlopIlo-
lions by the democratic 5Oth congress
exceeded those of the ''billion-dollar''
republican congress by about 100000.
The ''billion dollar" congress rests its
case on the duty which the government
owes towards it's old soldiers. Had it
not been for the republican party's sense
Of obligation to the veterans, the expen-
ditures voted by the 51st congress would
have been actually less than those of the
democratic congress two years proceed
ing, Notwithstanding the growth of the
country in the interim. A comparison
of the work done by the two congresses
is to the great advantage of republican
ism. A new navy has been created, six
million dollars contributed to Gulf
harbor for the west, ITO Millions added
to the already large pension appropria-
tions, large improvements made in the
mail service, the swine plague and
pleuro- pneumonia extinguished by an
expensive but invaluable system of in
spection, and great economy effected
to consumers by repeal of duties on
commodities not produced in this coun-
try. The "billion dollar" congress added
glory and reputation to the great
career of the republican party, and the |
more it is examined the more creditable
does It appear to the nation.

ties who have been looking up tho mat
ter have come to the conclusion that the
whole apportionment law of 1891 is un-
constitutional, and that the represents
tive districts as made by the legislature
of 1886 will stand. This county is en-
titled to three representatives. under the
old law instead of two under the new
law. Arrangements have been made to
present the question to the supreme
court at the May sitting, if possible,
and have the question decided before
the summer vacation of the supreme
court. At any rate, vigorous efforts
will be made to have the question de-
cided before the election. If the ap-
portionment act is unconstitutional, any
law passed by a legislature elected
under it might be null and void, there
by causing endless confusion and e1-
pense.
Whitewater Tribune: One hundred
and fifty dollars was the amount of SYM
pathy raised in hard cash for the To-
wanda sufferers by the citizens in this
vicinity, and Stella Eilerts and Jessie
Neal went to the scene of destruction
yesterday to perform the act of ''swest
charity" in turning over the funds to
the proper parties. 1t was happy
thought of our mayor to select these
young maidens for that duty which,
though necessarily sad, fully exemplifies
that it is blessed to give. Contributions
will continue to be received and persons
wishing to donate clothing or aught
else that can be of use to the sufferers
will hand the same to the committee OF
the mayor.
Erie letter: Secretaries Mohler and
Smith held successful meeting at this
place and organized the Neosho County
Columbian association, for the produc-
ton and collection of materials for the
Kansas exhibit. Complete arrangements
were made for canvass of the county,
and the amount of money asked from
Neosho county will be ready in time for
the Kansas building. The meeting was
largely attended. The democratic con-
vention had brought delegates from all
parts of the county, and their business
being completed early in the afternoon,
they remained and attended the Colum-
bian meeting. Neosho can safely be
counted in the list of counties that will
be in the front rank.

REPUBLICAN PROTECTION DID

From the New York Mail and Express.
In 1920 the statistics show that each
person in this country purchased an
nually 46 cents worth of domestic wool
and IS cents worth of foreign, or nearly
twice as much Of the imported as of the
home grown. Last year every Ameri-
can purchased S. worth of home wool
and only S. cents worth of foreign, or
over ten times as much Of the domestic
as of the imported.
In other words, under the republican
policy of protection the purchasing
power Of the American citizen is six
times greater than in 1920, and tie
American wool grower sells his fellow
citizen Sc worth of wool yearly instead
of only As cents worth. Meanwhile
the foreigner sell us only IS cents
worth per capita, against IS cents
worth in 1920.

SMASHING CALAMITY ARGU-
MENTS.

The chief stock in trade of your
calamity politician is misrepresentation.
Built on the exceptional conditions of an
"off" year, his philosophy cannot be
harmonized with the ordinary prosper
GUS conditions of the country. There
fore as soon as the unusually depressed
state of commerce which gives rise to
him has passed, the calamity statesman
must begin to find excuses for his ex-
istence, and he can't do it without
misrepresenting.
He ought not to be too severely
blamed. The first law of existence is
the necessity of self-preservation, and a
calamity statesman must preserve him
self the same as anyone else. Hence
we cry pardon for them. They must be
judged leniently. They tell untruths,
not because they love falsehood, but be-
cause it is the stray spar which prom
Uses possible salvation.
But the promise is not to be depended
on. There is an old proverb which
says that lies travel faster than truth,
but experience does not always bear it
out. They may 60 for time faster,
but they get tired early and are over
taken. Hence your calamity statesman
finds himself under the necessity all the
time of trying to explain some of his
utterances. He is constantly beng
tripped up by facts. Senator PETER is
the last to suffer from this unpleasant
experience. The senator is one of those
men who mean well and try to be
truthful, but he is mixed on his philoso-
ply Just now and facts embarrass him.
The senator tried to make comparison
between the farm ownership of Kansas
and Ohio to help the cause of the third
party in the Sunfower state, and called
upon Superintendent of the Census
Porter to aid him with figures. Porter
sent him the figures and they proved
boomerang.
PETER did not relish them, but Kansas
farmers will. They show that 81 per
cent of the Kansas farmers own the
farms which they occupy, while only 63
per cent of the Ohio farmers own theirs.
Taking both town and rural population,
81 per cent of Kansas families own
their homes, while only 30 per cent of
all Ohio families own theirs. Incum-
bered Kansas homes have standing
against them an average debt of 1856
each, while against encountered Ohio
homes the average charge is 1854.
These figures show that Kansas is an
unusually prosperous state, and when
it is remembered how mrch newer it is
than Ohio, with which comparison is
made. the showing is all the more fat
tering to the state and all the more
confusing to the calamityites.

THEN TWENTY. NOW 600 EN-
PLOYED.

Two pearl button factories, employing
about twenty hands, were in operation IN
Newark, N. j., before the new tariff law
was passed. None were exclusively
turning out pearl buttons elsewhere in
this country. To-day, twelve factories,
employing 600 people at wages ranging
from $18 to $23 for experts, and S. to
SO for boys and girls are prospecting in
Newark. Reliable estimates place the
number of hands employed in pearl but
ton factories started in this country
under the new tariff at 5000. The re-
publican protective policy alone achieved
this gratifying result for the workmen
who earn $1S to S23 per week here get
from $3.50 to SIS per week in Austria.

methods employed by all our rivals, i
voted down to the interest of foreigners.
And so it is with everything. It Is get
ting to be considered as sort of crank
mess to try to serve the country in any
way, and to regard as the highest merit
in public men the shrewdness and abil-
ity to make personal position and money
out OF politics. Is it an lnfatuation or
is it decline in the character of the
people?
And what is most incomprehensible of
all is to see this nation, after an expen-
diture of blood and treasure for the
preservation of its life, such as no peo-
pie ever made since government was
known, now actually ruled by the men
who tried to destroy. it. The policy I
speak of could be only the policy of
such men, but to see it submitted to is
one OF the riddles of human history.

ONM OF THE RIDDLES OF HIS

II anybody can show me single

question that was not in favor of the

Queer, he will find something that I
