The Meaning of the a. II. A.

It is remarkable fact that every
outburst of this 4. p. A. spirit of
any conspicuousness in American
politics has attended the disintcgra-
tion of old political parties. 1t was
first heard of in the secret Hartford
convention of 1872. which attended
the death of the Fcderalist party. 1t
next came to the surface as an or
ganized and aggressive force in New
York and Pennsylvania at the time
the Whig party was beginning to take
shape out of the union of forces which
distinguished the EZRA of good feel
ing. 1t was next to the front in a
more powerful and widespread form
when the Wing party, having sur
rendered to slavery in the compro-
mise of 1850. had nothing further to
exist for. This, then, is the meaning
of the present outburst of nativist
feeling. The politician must tremblc
not so much at a new force which has
arisen as at the disappearance of an
old force that so long has held his
party and his machine together. The
new force cannot long hold sway. 1t
is not strong, because it is un-Amer-
lean. and ugly and offensive in it's ap-
peal to race and religious predjudicc.

Things Worth Knowing.

The ''yellow jacket" about which
so much has been heard of late, is
rather vest than a jacket. 1t is
made of rich yellow satin, has no
sleeves, fits the wearer closely, and
reaches to the thighs. 1t is fastened
on the side with small buttons, and
has embroidered on the bosom the
royal dragon of China. There are but
half dozon men in the empire who
are entitled to wear it.
An ostrich in the London Zoologi-
cal Garden got hold of an attendant s
chronometer watch q few days ago
aud swallowed it. The striking of
the quarter and half hours, which
continued for three hours, appeared
to excite the birds curiosity and
created a great deal of amusement
among the spectators.
Orders have been issued in New
York restraining inventors of bullet
proof coats from wearing their coats
while marksmen are testing them.
New York people have recalled the
accidental killing of Annie Van
Behrens by Frank Frayne, which oc-
cured several years ago.
In designing his thermometer, Ca
briel David Farenheit took the low
est point reached by the mercury
during the winter of 1909, at Dant-
zig, as his zero point. He died on

An ancient bell dug out of the

4 GROSS INJUSTICE.

At the coming election there will
be three tickets in the field in Scott
county-Democratic, Republican and
Populist. AS the Australian system
is new to our people, and as all the
tickets are printed on one sheet of
paper, the law requires that a copy
Of the ticket be printed in two news
papers in the county. Voters will
have no opportunity to see the tick.
cts until they enter the voting places,
and the intention of the law is to IA
miliarize the voters with the ticket
by having it printed in the newspa-
pers that reach the most people.
BY their action the county court
has said that majority of the vo-
ters shall not have this privilege
which the law says they are entitled
to. They departed from all former
usages and made private contract
with the Benton Record and Sikeston
Star to do this work. Neither of
these papers have an established cir
culation. The Record circulates on
the same principal as other patent
medicine advertising sheets-free,
take one-and the Star has only To-
cal circulation in Richland township
of probably one hundred and fifty.
The NEwsBOY has an established cir
culation all over the county and al,
most exclusive circulation in the
northern half of our county. But
these people, says the machine
court, have no right to see the ticket.
They are not "wid de push" Such
action is gross injustice to major
ity Of our people, and an insult to
their intelligence. It is quite con,
ISOLATION that there will be nothing
left Of ''de push" after Jan. lst-ex'

How to secure Home Markets.

No one questions the desirability
of the home market, But there are
various ways of securing the home
market. just as there are sundry
methods of curing the toothache or
reforming q drdnkard. Cutting
man head off is a certain remedy
for the pain caused by diseased
tooth. Locking victim of the drink
habit in a dungeon will restrain him
from indulgence just as long as he
can get the coveted drink. The Nc
kipley plan of commanding the home
market is about as logical as the
method of treating the toothache or
drunkenness.
The scientific method of comand-
ing the home market for home pro-
ducts is to offer the home made goods
to home purchasers in as good quail
ity and at as low prices as the for
eign goods can be offered. 1t is uni
versally agreed among manufacturers
that the American machinery is far
superior to that of the strongest
competitors. Because of this fact,
though the per diem compensation Of
American manufacturers is greater
than of any others, the labor cost OF
producing is less. 1t is universally
acknowledged that American me-
chanics and artisans of all classes are
more intelligent. energetic and in
dustrious than any Others in the
world. Therefore other things being
equal. the American manufacturer
can approach the home market with
considerable advantage over any
competitor.
The only drawback which the home
producer has heretofore encountered
is in the fact that in this country
raw materials were taxed to q ruin.
Gus extent. Take clothing fabrics.
such as cassimeres. tweeds and chev.
lots. The tax on the wool necessary
to produce the high grades was pro
hibitive under the Mckinley law, ant
the home market had to be abandoned
to the English producers! The same
is true of nearly every other article
in common use. so that the home
market was surrendered without al
attempt to hold it, and to the pred
judice alike of American producers
and consumers.
No man will buy imported fabric.
if the domestic products are equal il
quality. and no more costly. Witt
free raw materials, the American
manufacturers will not only be abl,
to supply the home market witt
goods equal in quality, but at mucl
less cost to the consumer than unde
existing conditions. This result viii
benefit the American producers. Con
sumers and labor alike, and is TIN
true way of accomplishing a reform
which all agree would be desirable -
