Mexico, Mo-, July25.-You have
published some articles lately re-
garding the campers and their Wis.
itors that we think are entirely
wrong and need correcting. Your
informant was undoubtedly not one
Of the campers and did not know
the circumstances. We were not
troubled with a lot of hoodlums,
nor were we imposed upon by a lot
of boys of the neighborhood. Upon
one occasion our visitors We're so
numerous as to interfere somewhat
with our freedom or pleasure, and
caused us some annoyance, espec.
tally so when we learned that a large
number OF them were not only
strangers to Us, but strangers in the
neighborhood. But they were a
quiet, orderly and sociable crowd,
mistaken, perhaps, in thinking it
was a free entertainment and every
body invited. But on the whole
everything was pleasant and order
ly, and we only wish We could have
known them better and could have
given them better hospitality. We
appreciate the courtesy extended us
by the neighbors of Camp Fleming,

glad tosee them. Respectfully,

THE TARIFF MEASURE.
The Attempt Of German and Other Ex.
tremists to Convict Cleveland Of Double
Dealing Has Fallen Flat.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-Extra-
ordinary pressure is being brought
to bear upon the Democrats of the
Senate to throw off the 49, different
ial duty in favor of refined sugar.
A proposition was also made to cut
the coal and iron duty one-half.
This was rejected by German. In
fact it looks very much. as if an
agreement by caucus could not be
reached. The levelheads of the
Senate however, are working for con-
ciliation and concession, and are ably
assisted by the leading men of the
House ofRepresentatives and the ad-
ministration. 1t is not unlikely
that some concessions may yet be
made, but in any event there is lit
tie doubt that a tariff bill of some
kind will be passed before Congress
adjourns.
The House will swallow the Sem
ate lift cannot do any better, but there
is hope that the Senate ,Eif not meet
ing the House half way, will do
something to make the measure
less Objectionable than it is at pres
ent.
In the conversation Senator Cor
man had with the President yester-
day the Maryland Senator accused
the President of trying to kill the
bill, and said that was the object of
his letter to Wilson. The President
denied this and said the object of
his letter to Wilson was to improve
the bill, but not to kill it. With
out saying so, the President left the
impression on German that he
would approve the Senate bill if no
better bill could be obtained.

it to Kansas or Colorado any more,
but are anxious to place it in Mis-.
souri, at 6 per cent. This kind of a
reputation induces immigration and
is worth much to a State in the long
run.
During the strike the south and
most of the west showed clearly that
it was in hearty accord with the Ma
tionaI Government. The southern
and western Senators and Repre-
sentatives were most hearty and cor
dial in their support of President
Cleveland in his management Of the
labor troubles. Those few small
politicians in the east or west who
have been trying to make political
capital by fighting and fussing
against the Government in this mat
ter will find themselves in a small
minority with anarchists and social
lists. The writer is strong in his
prejudice for labor, whether organ
lied or not. The laboring man should
not be imposed upon. Capital can
take care of itself, but at the same
time law, order and the Government
should, above all and under all Cir
cumstances, be kept in safety.
Every American citizen knows and
appreciates this.
| am sorry to note that Charley
Clark is in trouble. If the account in
the LEDGER is correct he was surely
justifable. People who wont work
are bad enough, but those who wont
work themselves and by force try to
prevent others from working and
supporting their families should be
promptly and severely dealt with.
America is no place for such. A
true American is going to resent
such interference, and if crowded
is going to do very much as Clark
did, under circumstances such as
the LEDGER describes. | may be
wrong, but ''them's my sentiments"
President Cleveland has written a
splendid letter in reference to the
tariff.
The Presidents utterances are
generally distinct, outspoken and
to the point. His letter partakes
of this character. There is no OPP
portunity of misunderstanding whal
Mr.. Cleveland means. The con-
ference, he says, is not alone to rec
onc;le differences in the details of a
bill, but to decide whether Demo.
cratic principles r to be saved OF
abandoned. The bill as disisured
by the Senate is an abandonment
of Democratic principles.
The President insists that Nc
tariff measure can accord with
Democratic principles that does no
provide for free raw materials il
the interest of the people and thu
manufacturers, and he severely
e~riticises those Democrats whit
would put the wool of the farmer Oh
the free list, and place the protec
ton of tariff taxation around tn
iron ore and coal of corporation
and capitalists.
OF course, the Presidents lette
will be criticised as an interference
with legislation. OF course, he vii
be attacked by the FOSTERING Rec,
and the anti-C Cleveland organs. Blu
