A STALWART DEMOCRAT.

Hon. Bailey p. Waggener of Atchison,
though comparatively young man, IS a
Democrat Of the old, old school, de5pis-
ing the methods of all ringsters. traders
and fusionists in general. If he is not
the biggest Democrat in the state he is
still the biggest man, mentally, in the
Democratic party of Kansas. Mr.. Wag
Goner was interviewed at Kansas City
the other day and the superb way in
which he sat down on the men who for
the sake of chance for place have well
nigh wrecked the party of Jefferson and
jackson liz Kansas, speaks well for his
manhood TO say the least. He practic-
ally said that the old, worn-out barnacles
who have been trying to run the Demo-
cratic party in Kansas are lot of lazy
loafers who have no ambition beyond
Office seeking, no conviction or love of
principle aside from a tl,Gst for place;
that he intends to take hand next year
in political matters with view of help
ing to relegate to deserved obscurity
these old codgers and putting at the
head of the organization active, intelli-
gent and patriotic Democrats who will
stand for principle in such thorough
and honest organization as shall COM
mand the respect of Republicans if IN
deed it fails to command their defeat.
MIR. Waggener is Democrat in full
standing. He is a gentleman, full of
energy and enthusiasm, and if he carries
out his program will put lots of life and
activity in that party,

In this last column / have supposed
the duty of 81 to SHOW what the per Cent
Of robbery would be now if it never
had been changed from 81 to S2 per keg.
The writer once bought suit of
respectable clothes for $3.50. and the
duty on such a suit was $3.50, which
indicates rate of per cent of duty Of So.
Allowing the duty to remain specific and
unchanged I could have reduced the
rate per cent of ''robber tax" 70 26 bv
paying $25 for the suit, and to have
eliminated all but per cent Of the rob-
berry, allowing the duty to remain un-
changed l would have had to pay $3.50
for this suit, which seems to be the
point at which Congressman Wilson
aims in the interest OF the poor man.
Other illustrations equally as striking
could be given, but these expose the ab-
surdity of Mr.. Wilson's argument fully.
So 1t Is matter OF choice with the peo-
pie; they can pay 20 cents for
calico in order that the rate
per cent of robbery" can be
kept within bounds or they can pay
from to cents and be "robbed" at the
''enornormous" rate of 125 10 1861 per
cent. Or they can pay SO per keg,
wholesale, for wire nails ip order that
the rate per cent. of ''tax" may be only
10, or they can pay $1.60 wholesale and
be ''robbed" at the astounding rate of
l25 per cent, or $50 per cent. If the
"robber tariff" should bs raised to S4 Der
keg.
So instead of an increase in the ap-
apparent rate per cent. in specific duties
where they remain unchanged. indica-
ting an increase In The cost of the article.
1t indicates exactly the reverse, and tie
duty remaining unchanged, the hghe
the equivalent ad valorem goes the
lower the cost to the consumer. And
this rot OF Mr. Wilson's is called states
mansbip. He<also. objects to specific
duties becauSng the counting and
weighing is done mostly by Americans
who are poorly paid and most easily cor
rupted, while ad valorem rates are as
sessed by the best paid and most respon-
sble appraisers, which, by the way are
mostly English you know"
An interested Engiishman is more liza
bic to be honest in determining the
values of his own wares in order that he
may not cheat Uncle Sam, than COR
rupt United Stat, official who has no
pecuniary interest in the matter.
A great and patriotic statesman is Mr..
Wilson. 'S."

The Atlanta Constitution, which paper
has a higher regard for truth and cor

of the Washington administration, in
speaking of the Hawaii incident says:
"The Democratic party has not been in

where, and Mr.. Gresham may have made
a mistake in this matter" The unfair

Venice in her most prosperous days and
just preceding her downfall had streets
fetes on majority Of the days of the

The Republican idea of recripocity, it
seems, is not to be wholly abandoned by
ths present administration in all its de-
partments. In ailuding to the work of
the weather bureau the secretary of
agriculture announces in his annual re-
port that a system of exchange is in
operation with the central meterologi-
cal observatory of Mexi 0, on terms
similar to those in operation with
Canada. The bureau demonstration of
the past twenty-four hours prompts the
hope that the sys EN- viii be speedily
