The same paper said:
But the worshipers of the Mckinley
tariff idol are rapidly diminishing
among the farmers Of this country"
If "the worshipers of the Mckinley
tariff Idol are diminishing, why did
many hitherto democratic farmers last
year join the republican party? 1t was
to repudiate Grover Cleveland, and all
that he stands for, and for nothing else.
They ranged themselves with the re-
publican party for protection II the
coming session of congress doesn't tryt to
give them protection sufficient to pro-
tect,, these former democratic farmers
will have no further use for the repub-
lican party, and these democratic news
papers know it. This is why they are
shrieking SO loudly that Mckinley pro-
lection is a dead issue. They want it TO
be a dead issue, otherwise they are
beaten.
The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1895-11-08

Commenting upon the foregoing, a
newspaper defender of Grover Cleve-
lands ruinous free wool policy said:
ANY newspaper disposed to be fair in
discussing wool values would have
taken into consideration the fact that
during the past two years the price Of
all agricultural products has been I'M
commonly low. In that period, for ex-
ample, cotton reached the lowest rate
on record, though cotton is not protect
cd by the tariff at all. Wheat likewise
reached its minimum figure. Every
country in the world has been affected
by this decline in the value of agricul-
tural commodities, and wool has fur
nished no exception to the rule"
The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1895-11-08

Such a statement is the product of an
unduly stimulated imagination, for, in
point of fact, foreign wool is not only
no lower than in October, 1891, when
the Mckinley law had been in force for
one year, but is higher in the markets
of the world, as will be seen by the fol-
lowing table of London market quota

grades of wool that are most like Amer

A MAN OF RESOURCES.
This Dentist Was willing to Accommo.
d3te His Patron.

The dentist didn't want to talk shop,
he said, but he thought the story worth
telling, SO he told it. "Not long ago."
he said, "a western railroad president
came to New York, and one evening
was invited to dine with some of his
friends here. The dinner was particu.
larly jolly affair, and when the western
,nan reached his hotel he was in mer-
~ mood. 1t was his custom to place his
ret Of false teeth under the pillow every
night just before going to bed, and he
was certain he had done SO on this par
ticular evening. Nevertheless in the
morning he was unable to find them.
Searching high and low in the room
was Of no avail, and finally he came to
me for new set.
elbow long will it take you to make
them?' he asked. I told him four or five
days. Cant listen to anything like
that, he replied. III give you triple
money to make them in "a hours. You
sec people from Chicago think that
money laughs at everything, even time.
"All my arguing with the old fellow
did no good, so I set to work on his
teeth. In the meantime, however, I told
my assistant to hasten around to the old
mans hotel and make a scientific search
Of his room. The westerner insisted
that he had drunk no more wine than
usual at the dinner, but was satisfied
that he was deceiving himself. I had
not been long at the preliminary meas
urements when my assistant called me
out and handed me the teeth. He had
found them in the pillowcase, where
the owner had put them instead Of I'M
der the pillow.
II returned the teeth and the railroad
man was so overjoyed that he did not
cancel the order, but told me to go
ahead with the teeth. They might come
in handy some time, he said. He even
unbent SO far as to admit that perhaps,
after all, he had drunk glass Of wine
too much the night before, and when I
sent him my bill received a check for
double tho amount from him. New

As he threw himself back into the
embrace Of the cushioned chair Of q

1iercely at the barber and buried his

didn't mind the ugly opening. He
leaned over, garroted the tonsorial pa
tient with towel and painted his face
with lather. When he had flipfapped
q razor once or twice along the strop he
began mildly:

The barber looked startled, but he
tried again.

tweaked the others nose and daubed
soap into the corner Of his mouth. The
gruff man swore softly, the barber
smiled, and as a final act Of violence
grabbed the other by the top Of the scalp
and twisted his head until tho cervical

"Say," cried the gruff man, "my

But still the barber shaved on in ST.

the skin go close that it showed ragged
under the blade. Then, leaning over, he
grabbed a handful Of raw and tender
skin and rolled it between his fingers
until the other groaned aloud. As the
tear drops stole down the scarified face
the barber administered the final taunt:
"Do you shave yourself, sir?"
"No," reared the gruf man, leaping

Mining In tho Arctic Circle.

Few people are probably aware Of
the fact that modern industry has al
ready got a foothold in the arctic re-.
gions, and that mines are worked on o
large scale and a railroad regularly
operated in such high ATTITUDES. This is
the case in Sweden, where the Lulea.
Gellivare railroad, built for the purpose
Of carrying iron ore from the Gellivare
mines to the seaport at Lulea, extends
80 miles above the arctic circle and en-
joys the distinction Of being the first
railroad to open up the frigid zone. Gel
livare excursion trains will yet be run
ming to arctic summer resorts. In the
meantime explorers will keep on hunt
ing for lecture material and returning
to civilization to peddle it out on the
platform. New Orleans Picayune.
