Second.--The reduction of the gem
eral average ad valorem rate to 20 per
cent, or less.
Third.-The enlargement of the free
list so as to include all elements of in
dustry, including in that designation
both what have been called raw mater
ials, and those partially manufactured
products which are largely used in the
perfection of the completely manufac-
tured article.
The Hon. E. Ellery Anderson, in pre-
senting this bill to the public, concludes
his observations as follows:
"The suggestion that the work of this
special committee is an attempt to
usurp the functions of the Ways and
Means Committee of Congress, would
be amusing if it were not puerile. The
authors of this suggestion seem to think
that perfected tariff bill should leap
from the brains of Congress, as Minerva
emerged from the head of great Jupi-
ter himself, all armed, equipped and
ready to receive the alteration and wor-
ship of her many followers. The tariff
law which is to be, should be conceived
by the people of our great country, Its
provisions fully and carefully discussed
for the period of time required to pro-
duce the best and most perfect result,
so that the measure, when it shall be
enacted into law, shall be recognized
as the true offspring Of the people, as
being in complete harmony with their
judgment as to what is really best for
themselves, and shall be accepted as a
judicious AND permanent system, to be
retained and made efficient so long as
the necessity for raising any revenue
in this manner shall endure"

THE GROWTH OF SOCIALISM.

In the May number of the Forum,
Mr.. Frank B. Tracy, journalist of
Omaha, takes a gloomy view of the
political thought of that vast country
of empires, known as the West. Mr.,
Tracy says more than one half of all
the voters of the west are either social
lists, or sympathize with socialistic
ideas. This seems remarkable, but not
alarmingly so when we take in the
scope of socialism.
Mr.. Tracy divides the socialists of the
west into three classes. The first, and
most advanced and aggressive, con-
sists of members Of the peoples party
the "pepulists." The second includes
laboring, business and professional
men aud farmers, who favor govern
ment ownership Of railways and other
like rnonopolies, but who do not admit
that they are socialists, or recognize
clearly the logical and necessary out.
come of their ideas. The third class is
made up of men In about the same
walks of life as those of the second
class "Many of them are intelligent
educated and prominent in business
society and the church. They differ
froa those of the second class princi-
pally In that they are avowed 'pater-
nalists.'
Mr.. Tracy does not attempt to give
the cause of this rapid growth of so
cialism. But this is not difficult task
Ii is the outgrOwth of special legisla
tion, in the interest of favored classes
against the masses. Unjust taxation
of the masses for the sole benefit of thC
special classes.

"LooK AT THE MAP"
The Route to be Taken by Many Visitors
to the Worlds Fair.

The Route to be Taken by Many Visitors
to the Worlds Fair.
Almost any map OF the United States
shows the location OF Pittisburg, Cincin-
natl, Louisville and other large cities.
From each of the three cities named draw
straight line to Chicago. The line drawn
from Pittsburg will touch at Salem, Alli-
ance, Canton, Messillon, Wooster, Mans
field, Crestline, Bucyrus, Lima and Van
Vert, Ohio; Ft. Wayne. Columbia City,
Warsaw, Plymouth and Valparaiso, Iud. d.
That from Cincinnati will traverse o
thickly settled portion of the south
western part Of Ohio and run the entire
length of Indiana from southeast to
northwest, touching at Hamilton and
Eaton, Ohio; Richmond, Hagerstown, New
Castle, Anderson, Elwood, Kokomo, Lo-
The line from Louisville will pass through
the entire length OF the Hoosier State and
In its course would touch Columbus,
franklin, indianapolis and Logausport.
A line drawn from Pittsburg through Co
lumbus, Ohio, to Chicago would incline
slightly to the southwark and would pass
through Steubenville, ,Cashocton, Newark,
Urbana and Piqua, Ohio; Union City,
Hartford, Marion and Logansport, Ind,
and run direct from those points TO the
Worlds Fair site. A line from Madison,
Ind, would also pass through Indianap-
oils and Logansport in its direct course to
Chicago.
Such lines placed on the map would in
dictate the routes to the Worlds Fair de-
scribed by the Pennsylvania lines, which
traverse the populous portions of w Western
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, leading
direct from Pittsburg, the natural gateway
from the East and in straight course
from Cincinnati and Louisville, the natural
gateways Of the South, to the Worlds
Fair city.
Beginning with April 25th, Worlds Fair
excursion tickets to Chicago will be sold
from ell ticket stations on the Pennsyl'
vania lines. The going coupon will be
valid from the day of purchase until Oct.
Both, and the return coupon will be good
for return passage up to and including
November 9th. The sale of these tickets
will continue daily until October 30, and
will be governed by consistent reductions
in fare. Both the going and return
coupons will be valid for continuous pas
sage only. No stop over allowed. Any
ticket agent of the Pennsylvania lines will
cheerfully furnish detailed information
regarding rates, time of trains, etc.
The recent extensive improvements on
the Pennsylvania lines, for the event in
question makes them the desirable thor
oughfares to Chicago from the territory
traversed by them. The through time
from every station is exceptionally fast
and the first class train service affords
every desirable convenience for an enjoy
able trip.

LATEST STORY OF THE CARDIFF GIANT

The Massillon Independent discredits
our story of the origin of the famous
Cardiff giant. The Independent has
another story, with q man ready to
swear to it. Here is what the Inde-
pendent perpetrates:
The bogus giant was cut from block
of gypsum at Fort Dodge, Ia, and
carved into human form, ten and a
half feet long, by one of the aborigi-
nails of Chicago, in 1S68.-NEws-DEM-
oCRAT.
1t is to the final statement that the
Independent objects, and in the name
of Ira Dean, resident of this town for
many years, protests. The true story
of the Cardiff giant will be found in
this paper March k25, 1893. Brother
Dean made that giant himself, and he
can prove it, too. 1t wasn't made of
gypsum, but of composition invented
by the perpetrator of the pious fraud.

PENSION ABUSES.
From the Cincinnati Tlmes-Rep.

The exposure of pension frauds in
Norwalk, Va, is not surprise. An
exposure of systematic fraud of this
kind in any other part of the country
would not create astonishment. The
people are prepared for such discov-
cries. If it were not clear to all
observant persons in every community
that the government has been and is
the victim of a gigantic swindle in the
matter of pensions there is one huge
fact, found by a comparison of army
rolls and the pension rolls, which has
convincing weight.

RECLAMATION.

Col. G. Y. Bryan, of Idaho, is the author
of novel plan for retaining the arid
west. The basis Of it is the resolution OF
the New Mexico irrigation congress-
which proposed that state commissions
should apportion their respective terri
tories into districts for irrigation, pas
turape and water gathering. The two
first might then be reclaimed in any
desirable amount and on approval of the
works by the government title should i'm
mediatey pass to the irrigator. His
plan, however, contemplates that only
title to each alternate section should pass,
the other remaining the national prop
erty and open to settlement. The plan
should 90 further and limit the amount
of land each settler might pre-empt. The
price, of course, should be fixed in both
cases by the government. The New Mex
lean plan, however, in its entirety has
many better features, first because 1T pro-
vides, after actual reclamation, govern
ments control of the land should cease,
and next the pasturage leases would pro-
vide splendid school fund for the fu-
ture. Besides as it requires the develop
ment of water on the leased ranges the
cattle industry would remain stable.
