Congress pushes the tariff button, but

Congress pushes the tariff button, but
trusts must do the rest
The duty imposed by congress merely
cuts off foreign competition, but that
is no protection to the American pro-
ducer if he has American competition.
The competition of one thousand Amer
lean firms brings the price as low as
the competition Of ten thousand. To
create the American protection, the
American competition must be de-
stroyed, and that can I've accomplished
only through the trust. Without the
trust there is no protection and no
''boodle"-only duty which does not
protect When the salt trust is broken
and prices drop, its protection vanishes.
When the salt trust is reformed and
prices rise, its protection comes again.
What vanishes? The robbery of the
peop1e-the collection of Doodle by the
trust What comes again? The rob
berry Of the people-the collection of
Doodle by the trust. The duty is there
after the robbery stops. The duty is
there before the robbery begins again.
The ''protection'' is not in the duty,
but in the trust, without which protec-
ton is but "a striving after wind
The protection of the duty alone is
the sawdust OF the green-goods men.
The protection of the duty and trust
com bined is>a gold mine.
The republican farmer gets the saw
dust protection of the duty alone to pay
him for voting in favor of the genuine
protection of duty and trust combined
to the protective tariff trust league.
He cannot see any difference or where
the bunco comes in.
It is to open the republican farmers
eyes to this bunco, to the difference be-
tween the counterfeit protection of
duty and the genuine protection of 4
trust combined with a duty, that the
western campaign fund will be used.
You can cast two votes against tariff
trusts and take one vote from them by
sending one dollar to the western cam
paign fund. For every dollar contrib
uted at least one republican farmer
will have the nature of the protection
b,1ncO made clear to him. Y. World

erations alone are sufficient justihca-
tion for an honest adherence to the let
ter and spirit of civil service reform.
The attempt of the opponents of
democracy to interfere with and con-
troll the suffrage of the states through
federal agencies develops a design,
which no explanation can mitigate,
to reverse the fundamental and safe
relations between the people and their
government. Such an attempt cannot
fail to be regarded by thoughtful men
as proof of bold determination to Sc
cure the ascendency of a discredited
party in reckless disregard of a free ex-
preston of the popular will.
The American people are generous
and grateful, and they have impressed
these characteristics upon their gov
ernment. Therefore all patriotic and
Just decisions must commend liberal
consideration for our veteran soldiers
and for the families of those who have
died. No complaint should be made of
the amount of public money paid to
those actually disabled or made depen-
dent by reason of army service. But

Tariff reform is still our purpose.
Though we oppose the theory that tar
if laws may be passed having for their
object the granting of discriminating
and unfair government aid to private
ventures, we wage no DISCRIMINATING
war against any American interests.
We believe readjustnent can be ac-
complished, in accordance with the
principles we profess. without disaster
or demolition We believe that the ad-
want ages of freer raw material should
be accorded to our manufacturers, and
we contemplate fair and careful dis
tribu ton of necessary tariff burdens
rather than the precipitation of free
trade.
Our countrymen not only expect
from those who represent them in
public places sedulous. care for things
which are directly and palpably re-
lated to their material interests but
they also fully appreciate the value OF
cultivating our national pride and
maintaining our national honor. Both
their material interests and their ma
tioual pride and honor are involved in
the success of the Columbian exposi-
ton, and they will not be inclined to
condone any neglect of effort on the
part of their government to insure in
the grandeur of this event a fitting ex-
hibit of American growth and great
ness and splendid demonstration Of
American patriotism.

ing with this subject no selfish scheme
should be allowed to intervene and no
doubtful experiment should be at
tempted. The wants of our people,
arising from the deficiency or imper-
feet distribution of money circulation,
ought to be fully and honestly recog-
nized and efficiently remedied. 1t

''When you are tired of lace and en-
broidery and insertion and drawnwork
and all that sort of thing" said a young
lady of dainty tastes, adopt my plan
and use plain ruffles of null with mar
row hem rolled and sewed on to your
underwear. It's as pretty trimming as
can possibly be found. For long
time I have used very little embroidery,
because it takes up a good deal of room.
besides the heavy ridges in tho. work
seem to annoy me, especially very
warm weather.
Lace really doesn't look at it's best
unless it has a tiny bit of dressing, and
then it is sticky and disagreeable; 50 l

vanities to fine null ruff es hemmed by

A Privileged Glass.

a problem that ought to engage the
attention of city officials OF a reforming
turn of mind, is that concerning vacant
lots. In winter the sidewalks in frort
of such premises go uncleared of snow
| and ice until SO late an hour that it does
not matter much whether they are
cleared at all. In summer noxicus
weeds grow to maturity in and before
vacant lots, not presenting an unkempt
appearance, but scattering their seeds
far and wide over the carefully kept
premises in the neighborhood. In all
seasons the sidewalks and fences are
neglected, and not only the dwellers on
either side, but the wayfaring man al
so are compelled to suffer because the
owners of vacant lots shirk their re-
sponsibilities.
A man need not be a sympathizer
with Henry George and an advocate Of
the single tax to feel that the owner of
unimproved real estate is not entitled
to special favors. The person who is
holding land for rise, neither building
upon it himself nor permitting others
to do so, is the last who ought to be alb
solved from keeping his property in
that tidy and orderly condition which is
exacted in the case of householders,
either by ordinance or by public opin-
ion. The wit of man ought to be able
to devise some means to compel the
owners of vacant lots to keep the grass
and weeds cropped, and to maintain
the sidewalks and fences in proper con-
dition, and when the means has been
found it should be applied at least as
vigorously as it is in the case of citi-
zens who can not afford to hold real es-
tate for a rise. walk through the
blooming" portion of the city affords
ample evidence that the problem of
dealing with vacant lots has not been
solved.
The good citizen who makes his side
walk pleasant to his feet, and his prem
ises JOY to the eye of the passer-by,
has right to demand that his efforts
shall not be neutralized by the owners
of adjacent property who grow bounti-
full crops of dock and thistles in sum-
mer and of municipal suits for broken
bones in the winter.-Buffalo Courier.

conversant with the facts, but Il il
true, nevertheless. The present selling
value of farms is measured largely bv
their Improvements. and these improve
ments are, many of them, of the most
substantial kind.
Of course, the question of whethe.
some particular class of persons is to
pay more or less than they do under
our present system, does not affect the
question of the justice of the single tax.
But it is important to show that the
system will not rob or oppress any le-
gitimate industry.
have in my mind a snug little farm
of one hundred acres. In discussing
the question 1 have several times men
toned this farm, and asked my listener
to picture to his Imagination the farm
without improvements 1 say: ''Sup-
pose all the rocks and stones back in
the soil from whence they We're dug;
the fences, shade and fruit trees, build
lngs, water pipes, wells, roadways, and
all Improvements whatever, obliterated.
What annual rental would the farm be
worth?" The estimates given have va
rled from thirty to fifty dollars. Under
the single tax these fifty dollars would
represent the utmost limit of that far
mer's annual taxes. Yet the annual tax
on that farm has averaged over sixty
dollars for the last twenty years; and
the owner estimates that the national
taxes have cost him, directly and indi-
rectly, several times as much. This is
no exceptional case. but fairly repre-
sents the average of eastern farms. The
farmers of the country are paying far
more in taxes under our present system
than they would under the single tax.
If then the farmers would pay less un-
der the single tax, who would pay the
necessary increase to make it up? The
increase in taxes would fall upon those
persons who hold land from it's most
profitable use for speculative purposes.
They are the ones who are always
talking to the assessors about their
land not yielding any income; and they
are to be found at every little country
village and railway station. Did you
never notice? Even in these small CEN
ters OF trade there is sure to be some of
the most desira BILE and convenient land
unOccupied, because the owners are
waiting for the growth and necessity Of
the co immunity to enhance it's selling
value. These are the men who escape
the taxes that the farmer is obliged to
pay: and they are at the same time OBJ
structing the growth and welfare OF
the town in which they live.-Chas c.

Pointed Passages from Cleveland's Letter

POINTED Passages from Cleveland'S Letter
of Acceptance.
Paternalism in government finds
90 approval in the creed of democracy.
It is a system of misrule, whether it is
manifested in unauthorized gifts or by
an unwarranted control of personal
and family affairs.
Though the subject of tariff legis
lation involves a question of markets
it also involves a question of morals.
We cannot with impunity permit in
justice to taint the spirit of right and
equity, which is the life of our repub-
lie.
Tariff legislation results as surely in
a tax on the daily life of our people as
the tribute paid directly into the hands
of the tax gatherer. We feel the bud
den of these tariff taxes too palpably
to be persuaded by sophistry that they
do not exist or are paid by foreigners.
Public officials are the agents of the
people. It is therefore their duty to
secure for those whom they represent
the best and most efficient perform
ance of public work. This plainly can
be best accomplished by regarding as
certained fitness in the selection of

We can have either high tariff or .
low tariff without protection. We can
have high tariff or low tariff with
protection. Whether the tariff shall
be high or low is necessarily ques-
ton of revenue-not necessarily OF pro-
lection.
Protection is robbery" = and rob-
berry is theft. Protection requires
duty, in order that trust to control
prices may be formed in this country;
but the duty may be low or high-the
possible protection or robbery under
tie trust may be much or little.
Whether the robbery is small or great,
every cent taken is larceny under the
statute.
With the duty and without the trust
to control prices there can be no PRO

where the foreign article must be
largely imported to supply the demand.
and the market price here must be the
foreign cost with the duty added
where American producers do not
compete with foreigners to supply the

creates the protection, the trust col
lects the ''boodle," and the trust
divides the plunder among the mem

Flush the Sewers.

All the authorities on the cholera
concede that the only way to effectual-
ly deal with it is to flush the sewers of
our great cities and wash away the
impurities. What is true of a great
city is also true of the human system.
The avenues must be flushed at inter-
walls and the impurities washed away
in order to retain perfect health. This
can easily and safely be accomplished
by taking the Laxative Gum Drop.
These are a mild and pleasant Iaxa-
tive, gentle, agreeable in their taste
and certain in their action. They are
perfectly efficient but so free from
deleterious substance that if the chill
dren get them and eat them no harm
will ensue. They are put up like the
ordinary gum drop, which they re-
semble in appearance and taste. The
small boxes are 1Oc, the large ones
