The Wilson Bill.
From the Chicago Times.

FROM the lineage HINES. |
The following has been received:
EDITOR OF THE TINES: Why do
papers assert that the
Wilson tariff law is a free-trade
measure? If they are honest they
know it is practically the same as
the Mckinley tariff law.
INDEPENDENT.
Our correspondent does not seem
to have carefully read the arguments
of the republican press. Had he
studied the new tariff law from a
republican standpoint he wouldhave
seen that the Wilson bill is a VIC
ious free-trade measure, because it
admits free OF duty such staple ar
ticles of commerce as acorns,
apatite, balm Of Gilead, bladders,
dried blood, catgut, whipgut, and
wormgut, c~occulus indicus, cudbear,
divi-divi, dragons blood, kelp,
litmus, myrobalan, osmium, puln,
sabadilla seed, spunk and zaffer.
With these great industries of our
country brought into free competl.
ton with the pauper industries oil
Europe, what is going to become oil
US? True, almost every other article
produced or manufactured has to
pay a tariff duty, but when such
necessaries of life as apatite, litmus.
pull, and spunk are admitted free
the Wilson tariff law threatens to
undermine the very foundations Of

The Globe Democrat must I'M
derstand, however, that with the
great majority of Republican organs
colleges and college education come
under the category of objectionable

better crush a Democrat than by

Mr.. Whites Prize Editorial.

FROM the St. LOUIS hepubne
Mr.. Robert M. White, the vigor-
Gus editor OF the Mexico (Mo.)
LEDGER, won the Mermod-Jaccard
prize for the best article on the st.
Louis Fair. Mr.. Whites article is
a model of terse English, and the
discriminating young journalist EN-.
ployed The Republics famous
"Nothing Impossible" picture of
st. Louis to decorate his production.
No doubt that happy thought helped
him to win.
We quote from the prize article a
passage which ST. Louis people
should think upon:
"St. Louis, on account OF her loca.
ton and solid, substantial prosperi-
ty, is just the city for Il grand
national fair--a fair that will attract
exhibits and patronage from every
State in the Union and foreign
countries as we'll. The St. Louis
Fair not only brings country and
city people, the farmer and business
man, into more friendly relations,
but will unite more closely the East
and the West, the North and the
South. 1t can be in Importance to
the nation what ii now is TO the
States OF Missouri and Illinois.
"The ST. Louis National Fsir''-
this is a grand possibility; in fact,
a probability"
A great national fair would be
welcomed by the agricultural basin,
and st. Louis is the center of agri-
cultural production. A display of
the choice specimens of agricultural
would be so useful that
and public alike would
the opportunity. Mr..
Whites words are pregnant with
suggestion.

MARTINsBURG, Mo-, Oct. o.
What is the largest gun on any war
ship OF the world? What is the
largest gun on any vessel of our

gun used during u civil war-on
land or in the navy? WARFARE.
The heaviest guns are in the Brit,
ish Navy; they weigh 110}a ions,
with a caliber of 1914 inches. The
ItalianNavy has eight 17-inch guns,
which, however, are said to weigh
less than the English guns. The
largest guns in our navy are the 49,
inch guns on the Indiana, Massa'
chusetts and Oregon. Fifteen-inch
guns were used during the war on
some of the monitors; the heaviest
land guns were about eight-inch.
The famous "Swamp Angel" used
