THE RAW MATERIAL" IDEA NOT
HONEST.

The mania for free raw materials"
which has taken possession OF the minds
of some Of the people, is one of the most
surprising things to us that has hap
pened in a long time. Mr.. Cleveland
writes Mr.. Catchngs:
81 cannot be mistaken as to the ne
cessity of free raw materials as the
foundation of logical and sensible tarin
reform"
Harper's Weekly. discussing the tariff
bill, in its last issue. says:
"rhe Senate bin Is n marked improve
ment on the Mckinley bill. If there was
nothing new in IT but free wool 1t would
be decided gain. for it would teach the
country the boon Of free raw materials
Leaving out of consideration all ques-
tion of the unfairness of taxing one i'm
port. and admitting another tax frce. We
most candidly admit that all talk Of this
sort is absolute Jargon 10 us. Every
thing is raw material" for something.
Not a thing can be named which can
not be fashioned into something else, and
it is, therefore. raw material for that
something else. If, then, all raw mate
rial' is to be free. no revenues will be
raised from customs duties, because
everything being raw material" for
something, lNtIe VIII DE noun IL 10 ldNs
AS far as we can make out the free
raw material people are not for admit
ting all raw materials free, but only
certain specified ones. We believe they
limit those raw materials" that they
would admit free TO coal, iron ore, WOOL
lumber. hemp, and perhaps some others.
Why then do they not change their claim
and clamor for free coal, free iron ore,
free wool. free lumber and free hemp?
Why clamor for free raw materials"
when they do not want free raw ma
terials" at all. but only certain raw
materials" to be free?
We can see neither sense nor honesty
I'm the claim that is made. BY talking OF
Gree raw materials" being a Democratic
principle they confuse some weak minds
and conceal the issue. Whereas. If they
would state just exactly what they claim
they would deceive no one and would
have the assistance Of none but those who
are interested to have free coal. free iron
ORE free wool, free lumber AMI free hemp
The contention IS undemocratic; il has
no reason TO rest on. and, as made, 1t is
not honest

MISS DEsHA ON THE BRECKINRIDGE

Miss Mary Desha had kept entirely out OF
the controversy over the proposed nomi-
nation OF Colonel W. G. L. Breckin-
ridge for Congress. but as she has chosen

ments made by her which will take

one made by Colonel Breckinridge's Ken

his trial. which was, In substance, as we
recoIlect IT, that all men are more or

said unequivocally that all men were

Thompson was correctly quoted IN TINS

growing better every day. and that is
proof enough that all men are not Iber-

TO the Improvement Of man. That comes
from the efforts of those who are pure

Miss Desha made one other statement
which viii not be universally assented to.
She said, in speaking of how Ken

HOW IL his?

Our local stated yesterday that one
William Rufiian (colored had been ar
rested and carried before the Police jus
tice, charged with playing policy" in a
game dealt by Timothy Freeman, an
other negro, and an assistant colored
man, and for forcibly taking from them
money which he had won, but which
they were trying to Withhold from him.
The report states that the justice sent
William on 10 the grand jury.
No proceedings seem TO have been taken
against the man who ran the policy game
and his assistant. Why is this? The
facts cannot have come out at it is not
possible that the policy men are favored,
while those who rob them while playing
the game are to receive the penalties
Of the law lie, the facts come cut.
