We are surprised to learn that
Mr.. l. J. Sims and a few other
prominent farmers in this county
are not going to vote for Grover
Cleveland. The reason given is
that he does not favor the free
coinage of silver. In our opinion
the tariff is the leading issue in this
campaign and we desire to call the
attention of Mr.. Sims and others
to the following facts:
The. election of Mr.. Cleveland, il
accompanied by a Democratic con-
troll of the Senate, means a reduc-
ton of the tariff.
1t means free ore and free coal,
and the addition to the free list
of those materials which lie at
the base of every great industry.
This would cause the vast expan'
sion of our great manufacturing es'
adjustments the production of iron
and steel, of cotton and wooden
clothing, of cutlery and hardware, al
such prices as to create new mar
kets at home and open new markets
abroad.
The expansion would create a new
| demand for labor. Mill owners would
be hunting laborers, and not labor
ers mill owners.
The demand for labor would
spring up on every hand; the sup.
| ply would not be greater than now,
and the inevitable result would be
an advance in wages.
Supply and demand regulate
wages, with or without a tariff.
The tariff protects the capitalist.
and immigration supplies him with
labor.
But, say our Republican friends:
a low tariff means low prices, and
low prices mean low wages.
This is the fallacy exposed by the
Homestead riot.
Americas farm products are lower
in price than those of any other ma.
ton, but wages on the farm are low.
er here than elsewhere.
Prices Of iron and steel are great.
ly cheaper in England to-day than
twenty years ago, but wages are
higher.
Wages are higher in England
than in Germany, but England I'm.
dersells Germany in every market in
the world.
Here is the true history of high
wages.
Low prices enlarge the demand fol
any product.
An enlarged demand calls for an
increased production.
Increased production creates a de.
mand for more labor, and this ne.
cessitates an advance in wages.
Higher wages and permanent EN-.
ployment will inevitably follow a re.
duction of the tariff.
The laboring man, then, who
knows how to guard his own inter
ests viii work and vote for Grover
Cleveland.

The PinkertOn Men.


The main point for the considera-
ton of the American people is that
we cannot admit the necessity Of
having and employing such an arm,
ed force as the Pinkerton men with
out ~confessing to a condition OF
things amongst us which we must
be ashamed OF. That in the young
settlements of the far West, where
the legal relations between man and
man have scarcely taken a definite
form, and where self-help in the
largest sense is still the order of the
day, something like private war
should occasionally be resorted to
for the determination of disputes is
not astonishing. But the confession
that in some of the oldest, richest,
and best-ordered States of this
Union the enforcement of the laws
can be SO little depended upon that
a resort to medieval contrivances
becomes necessary for the protection
of property or of any other right is
humiliating in the extreme. 1t is
said hat sometimes political con-
siderations stand in the way of the
enforcement of the laws. If that
be the case, then it is high time that
politics be reformed in accordance
with the elementary requirements
of civilized society. A truly civil
lied community will not have to look
to a Pinkerton force to do under
private pay that which is obviously
the business of the regularly con-
stituted authorities.

A snake story from the Sedalia
Baaoo: zone day last week Mrs.
Alex. Meredith, of Green Ridge, who
recently resided in Sedalia, had oc-
casion to move a water barrel in her
yard and in doing so felt something
heavy attached to her apron. On
looking down she was Mortified to
find a medium sized rattlesnake at
tached thereto and, striking at it,
she had presence of mind enough to
try and flip her apron so as to
throw the snake away from her, but
didn't succeed, and then tried to un-
tie the string of her apron, which,
instead of untieing, got into a knot.
Luckily she was able to break the
string and throw apron and snake
away. She then caught a stick or
some handy weapon and succeeded
in killing the venomous reptile"

MR. EDITOR Your correspondent
History" is correct in the main. He
is however wrong in saying that the
Martin Mansion" is the only one of i'm
portance now remaining In private
hands. could name others, but my OBJ
ject In writing is simply to say that the
MARTIN Mansion" with all its well pre-
seved age-with its historical reminscen-
SEES and its beauty of finish should not
be suffered to pass into vandal hands,
but should be purchased by the State
for State Museum building and preserv-
ed in its present form for all time. /
know that Mr.. Martin is very proud of
his home, but being a public spirited
gentleman, he would doubtless be willing
to dispose of it to the State for the pur-
pose herein indicated.
Our worthy Governor Is full of public
spirit and has great State pride. and
hope the matter of State Museum build
ing will be called to his attention, for /
am sure If he were TO examine the build
ing referred to. he would approve of its
becoming the property OF the State. True,
it Is some time before the next legisla
ture will meet. but as 1t takes time to
accomplish so important q matter II is
not too soon to agitate the subject.
