WOMEN AND PROJECTION.

The question of suffrage for women
Is one that they must decide for them
selves without reference to its effect
upon national affairs, but protection to
the industries of the United States,
whether they be termed Infant" or
otherwise, is subject that has bear
ing of such national Importance that it
is well worth the attention of each wo-
man, and more especially each mother.
Our national household is like the
domestic household in that it provides
protection for the people of our coun-
try just as certain devices protect the
members of a household. A house is
protected from burglars, for instance,
by burglar alarms-the'countr is pro-
tected from the invasions of other coun-
tries by forts and posts along its coasts
and borders, and these are called coast
defenses. Houses are again protected
from evil enemies By the police-our
people are protected from evil enemies
by an army and navy, The domestic
household maintains freedom from an
unjust competition in various lines of
usefulness by means of certain fixed
rules of domestic economy, which may
not be transgressed without undesira-
bic results-the national household az
fords protection TO its people IN their
various interests by means of judicious
political economy, and If peace and
prosperity are to be maintained
throughout the land. this law must be
lived up 70 as in domestic economy.
Thus we might draw parallel which
would read thus:
Domestic Household Earienal Household
PROTECTED PIT
Burglar Alarms, Coast Dsfenses,
Police, Army AID Navy.
Domestic Economy, Political Economy
Political economy Is TO a government
what domestic economy IS 10 the house
hold Domestic economy regulates the
disposing TO the best advantage of the
income of the home. Political economy
regulates the disposing and developing
TO the best advantage OF the resources
OF a country for its people.
In the domestic household we find
that the first thing 20 be considered Is

The diehta nailu Thursday gorne august le 1884,

These little free bills, 'pop-gun bills, :"
as the Republicans call them, may sus-.
tain the uncertainty CT tariff legislation
which has all along depressed and
enervated the country.
OF course they have only passed the
house and before they become law must
go before the senate and be approved
believed that the senate Will accept the
bills at all. But there has been room for
doubt on this very subject, and that Is
where the rub comes in.
While the main bill is passed, tinker
ing with the tariff has not ceased and
tinkering with the tariff is what has
undermined. the prosperity of the
United States of America.
Conditions may arise and certain COM
plications which would force or induce,
one or the other, the senate before next
March to pass some of these bills. The
manufacturer and dealer who has any
thing to do with these articles is afraid
of that very thing Fear has played hob
before, and it mag do it again.
1t looks as if the Democratic party, in
Its efforts to make inconsistency appear
consistent, and to patch up broken
promises with wind, had been driven by
u perverse fate, or incompetent and child
ish leaders. into position where it is
impossible to make move Intentional
or fortuitious, that IS not detrimental to
the country. its industries and its citi-
Zens.
1t does not appear to be able to do
anything with dignity or elaboration,
or with conservative reserve, but every
time it acts must make holy monkey
show of itself in the face of high heaven.

REAL FRIENDS OF WICHITA.

Who are the real friends of Wichita:
| Force might be given to the answer oy
| saying it is not the non resident investor
| in sunfower lots, who never had any
interest in her growth beyond the point
which would enable him to dump his
| load onto some one else at a big profit
| 1t is not the eastern money loaners whose
avarice tempted HIM to take unwar-
ranted risks in order to obtain usurious
| interest. Since the collapse of boom
prices, and the possibility Of closing out
without loss has dawned upon them,
this class has been loud in its denuncia-
tions of Wichita. They talk and write
as if they had no part in the deal which
resulted in loss to them, but pose as the
victims of misplaced confidence IN the
local agent or the friend who happened
TO have faith enough TO advise pur-
chase. Thus pleadingthe baby act, and
CALLED by their losses, they have deluged
the good name of our city with false
hood and abuse till, of late, it is a reve-
alton TO those making their first visit to
find that we still maintain a postoffice.
1t Is not the wall-eyed Populist, nor
the impecunious cranks who were never
able TO feed themselves in Kansas or
anywhere else, and who never gave
dollar toward public enterprise or
private charity. 1t Is not the scandal
mOnger, nor the assassin of the bust
ness character and standing Of the men
VOL or Of
under load not all of their own max
ing, but which they alone were able to
bear. If there is a character more con-
temptible than the man who burus and
destroys, it is the migrate who has en-
joyed the fruits of the labor, the brains
and the solid cash of those who have
stood by Wichita In the day of ad
versitY, spreading reports for no other
purpose than to precipitate their down
fall. Reputation, long acquaintance and
known integrity go for little in times
ike these against gratuitous SANDERS,
systematically and industriously circu- +!
lated, be the babbler ever so obscure, OF
deficient in qualities necessary to the |
good citizen.
Passing those who are clearly not |
loyal 10 the interests of this city, it is |
proper to say: Her real friends are |
those who reside here as a matter of |
choice. and not to prey upon the neces-
stiles or the liberality of our people, |
either by undue profits or cutthroat |
rates CT interest; those who, believing in !
the ultimate success and permanent,
growth of Wichita, have
enlisted their time, talent ard means to
secure that end; those who have come
Down with the cash to raise the sub
sides and secure the industries which
were expected to develope our natural
and, last but not least, those
who have been loyal in their defence in
diversity as well as in prosperity, those
who have been, and are today, the bone
and sinew of all that is substantial nd
worth having, and those who stand
ogether in mutual sympathy, as neigh
oors and friends, for the upbuilding of
society and a city which will live to per-
Detuate the virtues of as true men and
women as ever turned their faces toward
he setting sun.

made the discovery, scared at finding
themselves in contact with such dan
