When Cleveland left the White
House in 1888 he left surplus of
one hundred millions in the treasury
when he returned four years later
he found deficit of near one hun
dred millions. So much for repub-
lican profligacy and inefficiency Mr..
Cleveland will have it all straighten
ed out, however, before the close of
his present term.

Notwithstanding the croaking Of
the high tariff organs and the wall
of the chief benefciaries of the Me-
Kinley monopoly tariff that the pro-
posed reform of the tariff would ruin
the country, the Wilson bill has been
well received by the business inter
ests Of the country. This is evidenc-
ed by the course Of the markets since
the measure was made public. Out
side ofSugar Trust certificates, which
have fluctuated somewhat, stocks in
general have remained firm and in
railway stocks there has been de-
cided improvement in prices. Evil

Protection is the Demon

1t is estimated that uniform, ad
valorem duty of 80 per cent. on every
article imported from a foreign coun-
try would give US all the revenue we
need.
The average duty of the Wilson
bill is said to be about 40 per cent.
But it is not distributed uniformly.
1t is massed on some articles for the
purpose of protection, and other ar
ticles are admitted absolutely free Of
duty.
Does anybody doubt that if Presi-
dent Cleveland had, in his message,
declared for an immediate tariff in
accord with the Chicago platform
tariff for revenue only, taxing all
articles alike, and discriminating
neither in favor nor against any sim
gle article,-does anybody doubt
that the country would have sus-
tanned him with an enthusiastic
unanimity?
Does anybody doubt that if Mr..
Wilson had brought in simple bill
fixing certain per centage Of tariff
on every imported article according
to value, without any provision for,
or pretense of protecting specific art
icles-does anybody doubt that it
would have passed congress with a
unanimity and heartiness that no
other kind of bill can command?
Would not the sense of justice Of
the American people have sustained
such bill, and with its adoption
forever wiped out the protective
system, and forever eliminated with
it, the tariff question from our poli-
tics?
But however reasonable q bill
that is framed on the basis of pro-
lection, there is contention, dissat
isfaction, and interminable delay in
reaching a settlement. One section
is saying that another section is get
ting more benefit than it from the
tariff. One class of industries is
saying that another class is getting
an unjust proportion. And when
compromise is made, it is only a
postponement of 1.-THE issue till an
other election.
But how lovely, and peaceful, and
equitable would be q Democratic
tariff for revenue only? Every arti-
Gle paying it's. tariff in exact proper
ton to its value. No sectionalism,
no class legislation; no possible in
justice; no possible ground of com
plant except upon the Inconsistent
assumption that one man is entitled
to more of the benefits of government
than another.
Protection is the demon of the
tariff issue that must be scotched.

CAUSES OF HARD TIMES.
PETERS Committee Evolves Several
Reasons WHY Farmers Are Poor.

Il
Senator PETER, Chairman OF the
committee of the committee on
Agriculture, which under authority
from Congress, has been investiga-
ting the cause of depression in prices
of grain and live stock, has conclud-
ed the preparation of the greater
part Of his report. He dictated to a
reporter summary Of the results
of his Investigation. He said
Under the head of special causes
of the depression are enumerated
such matters as disease, which thin
out herds; epidemics, which reduce
the number of stock in State or re
gion; short crops in one part, or in
creased yield in other parts which
operate to temporarily raise or lower
prices. The general causes operate
all through the channels OF trade,
affecting every department OF pro
ductive industry. Among them |
will mention Two. One OF these is
speculation on boards OF trade and
in stock exchanges. The constant
trading in futures necessarily gives
out to the people the idea that there
is more grain on hand than there is in
fact The other general cause results
from our financial legislation. I'm
mediately after the war, we called
in our paper money, and in the pro
cess of going from paper basis to
a specie basis, prices fell in accord
with well understood rules of bust
ness. Then we abolished one of our
coins and put the country on gold
basis. Prices have accommodated
themselves to this change in policy

Governor Stone of Missouri, Gov

Lewelling Of Kansas and all other
governors of The trans Mississippi
valley states have received an invita-
ton from Governor Hogg of Texas to
send delegates to Chicago to meet COM
missioners from Denmark and Swe-
den TO confer upon the establishment
of q line of steamers between Calves
ton, Texas, and Copenhagen, Den
mark. The meeting Of the commits
sioners and delegates will be held this
month aud every trans Mississippi
valley state will send delegates in any
number they may desire. This meet
Ing has been arranged consequent up
on the report OF the United States
government engineers that Galveston
will be made permanent deep wafer
port. The north and south. trunk lines
are bringing the great grain fields
and prairies in close and cheap connec-
ton with the Gulf seaports, and the
Galveston purt viii eventually DC the
greatest and most important on the

establishment OF the line Of steamers
is not only probable, but gives fiaiter-
ing promises of being profitable. Now

A GREAT CONVENTION.

The Interstate Irrigation Conven'
ton which will meet in Salina, Kan
sas, September 2Sth, is attracting wide
attention through The West. Seven
Western states will send delegates and
addresses will be made by the most
practical irrigators. of the United
States. Mr.. T. B. Merry of Los An.
geles, California, will address the con-
vention on the results of irrigation in
the West and the various methods en-
ployed in securing artificial water for
irrigation. Prof. Hay, the geologist,
will discuss the water supply on the
plains and it's utility for irrigation.
The duties of the general government
to the irrigation movement will be
discussed by representatives from
South Dakota, Texas and Nebraska.
Every phase of the question will be
discussed by practical and experienced
men. A permanent organization will
be formed to push the movement in
behalf Of the settlers of the great West.
Cherokee county should be well
represented at this convention. Every
one interested, either directly or indi-
rectly, is invited to attend. Every
board of trade should send delegate
and every farmers society should not
fail to have a representative at this
convention. Every citizen in the
West is directly interested in this
movement. Let this be movement
by the masses of the people. Special
rates are given over all railroads. For
particulars address j. l.. Bristow, SEQ

STATEHOOD NEEDED.

Oklahoma has been clamoring for
statehood for some time, but now that
the Cherokee Strip, comprising over
100000 acres, and adjoining Oklaho-
ma, has been opened to settlement
statehood is needed more than ever
The Indian territory has for years
been the hiding place of scores of out
laws and it will continue to be so un-
less it is given some form of govern
ment by which its people can make
laws looking to the determination OF
these outlaws. The territory in which
outlaws can find safe retreats is, how
ever, growing smaller all the time
The opening of the Cherokee Strip
and Oklahoma has cut of much of tie
country over which outlaws and des'
peradoes gamboled and had good
time, safe from the officers of the law.
But when the balance of the Indian
territory is thrown open to settlement
and honest white people make theil
homes there then, and not until then
will the outlaws be cleaned out. Civ
ing Oklahoma and the Cherokee Strip
statehood, however, would in great
measure serve to make outlaws and
criminals much scarcer in the Indian
trrritnrY.
