There were several republicans, who,
in answering a query of Mr.. Ellis Mon
day night as to whether they had every
heard or read in silver arguments any
allusion TO the acts Of 1906, 1884 and
1853 in relation to the coinage of silver,
declared that no mention had ever
been made in this country of these
laws. If these gentlemen will call at
The REPUBLIC Office they will be given
proof that they we're mistaken, and
while the history of those acts have re-
peatedly been referred to in these col
umns in the past, an article published
as late as last month will be shown
them in which that subject was fully
discussed.
James Wymore leaves this week for
Old Mexico, and in his departure "poor
Mexico" gets another man who has pro-
iessed to believe the 50-cent dollar de-
trimental to the laboringman. Mr..
Wymore has for several years oCcu-
pied the position of foreman of car
inspectors on the Rock Island at this
place at a salary of $50 per month. In
resigning this and accepting a like
position on a Mexican railway he
tacitly admits that silver mOnometal-
lism is better than gold recommendation
and that S14O per month in silver is far
better than SEQ per month in gold. But
be that as it may, Mr.. WymOre has been
good citizen, has a host of warm
friends, and while all regret his de-
parture, their "adios" will carry with it
the best wishes of good fortune in his
new home in the south.

Receipts from customs under the
McKinleV bill were as follows:

Now suppose that the Mckinley bill
would have paid all expenses Of the
government during the years Of CleVe-
lands administration, in which it was
in force, and laying all the deficit to
the Wilson bill, total of s53,35l, 435 is
all that can be charged to the present
act. Now what was the reason the ad.
ministration issued bonds to the
amount of S262, 100000 when the deficit
could only be reckoned at a little over
100000? Isn't it reasonable to be-
lieVe Clevelsnd's statement that it
was not because of want of funds to
meet ordinary expenses Of the govern
ment land as there was a surplus Of
563OOOOO0 in the treasury, more than
covering the deficit, it is reasonable to
belieVe) but to Feplenish the stock Of
gold? No sensible man will believe
that six per cent difference in tariff
duties will cause the wreck in the in
dustriai world that has occurred, but
will look deeper into the matter.
~
Now the republicans tell US that i'm
ports under the Wilson bill, the food
ing of American markets with foreign
made goods, has caused the present de-
preston. Now compare the Wilson and
Mckinley bills.

law gave an average Of 4S per cent. The
Wilson bill average is q per cent, be-
ing the second highest tariff law ever
enacted. Just think Of It'll The re-
publicans tell Us that adding six per
cent to the present "dsmnable free trade
law" viii give Us ''high protection" On
this six per cent difference the Tin
God at Canton is trying to mould
national issue.
The Goodland republic. [volume] (Goodland, Kan.) 1891-1907, 1896-10-09

This slight difference is more than
swept away in the fact that the Wilson
bill was in operation in the panic years
and under the gold standard while the
Mckinley bill was prior to the break
ing of the storm, and operating under
a partial bimetallic system.
The Goodland republic. [volume] (Goodland, Kan.) 1891-1907, 1896-10-09

It is hard to believe that rational
men will be fooled by this tariff hum
bug any longer, and is really an i'm
position on public intelligence for re-
publican campaign speakers to try to
point out in tariff legislation the cause
of our present unfayOrable condition.
It is the money of the country that is
at fault, a currency decreasing in face
of growing needs, that has brought US
to the sad pass Of borrowing gold on
bonds. A tariff as low as the deepest
depths cannot aggravate our present
condition, nor a tariff as high as the
highest heights, remedy it. When the
country returns to a bimetallic basis
then will dawn prosperity, and until
then he who looks for it will look
in vain,

Rabbit Hunts In Idaho.

Jack rabbits have become so numer-
Gus in Cassia county, Idaho, that the
farmers are organizing roundup hunts
to lessen the number of pests. At a
hunt Of this kind held recently by farm
ers living near Oakley 5,126 rabbits were
rounded-up and killed, and two coyotes
and lynx were also caught in the ring.
The method followed in these hunts is
for the farmers and their help to
spread over large section of country,
from ring, and then all work towards
the center, beating the immediate terri
tory thoroughly, and driving rabbits
into the center, where they are killed
with clubs.

AN HISTORIC MANSION.
The House in Which yankee
Doodle" Was Written.
Verses Written as Jibe by a British Sur
geon Were Turned Into Compli-
ment by the Boys They Were
Meant to Hit.

On the eastern bank of the Hudson
river, directly opposite the site of Fort
Orange (the first trading post estab-
lished by the Dutch East India COM
Pany in this country for the purpose of
dealing with the Indians) stands a
building which was erected to serve the
double purpose of fort and dwelling.
1t was named, after an ancient estate
in Holland, Fort Cralo, and is now
known as the "Old Mansion"
This house was one of the first built
in the country, and it certainly was &C.
cupied longer than any other building
in the state of New York. 1t was
erected in the year 1912.
In 1855 the "Old Mansion" was Sc
1ected for the headquarters of Mai.
Gen. Abercrombie, commander-in-chief
of his Britannia majesty's forces in
North America. The troops were en-
camped on the grounds to the south of
the house and directly on the banks of
the Hudson river. At that time there
was plenty of space there to accommo-
date very large body of men. Since
then the river has eneroached on the
banks bit by bit, until it has eaten its
way nearly to the doors of the sold
Mansion"
. Under orders from the English gov
eminent, Gov. Hardy, Of New York,
called upon the Massachusetts,, Rhode
Island and Connecticut colonies to aid
in repelling the attacks of the French
and Indians on the northern borders,
and demanded that each settlement
should send it's quota of men that
,should report for service at Albany, N. |
Y.
The only Americsn-born governor
OF the day was Thomas Fitch, governor |
OF Connecticut, who resided in Nor
walk. He and his councillors raised a |
regiment, of which the eldest son of the |
governor, Thomas Fitch, was elected |
colonel.
The women of the colony contributed |
their share toward the equipment of |
the regiment by weaving and making
the coats of their warriors and color |

THE HOUSE IN WHICH YANKEE
DOODLE WAS wRITTEI.

homely uniform was completed by the
sisters and sweethearts Of the men,
who stuck turkey tail feathers in their
hats by way Of distinction, or, may
hap, ornament. This same simple
feather has become immortalized, and
win forever be notable in the annals
of this country. For when the regi-
ment, headed by young Fitch, rode up
the main road beside the river to re-
port to the commander-in-chief at his
headquarters in the "Old Mansion"
the ridiculous appearance presented by
raw troops who were mounted on
sorry-looking nags (the best their
farms afforded) prompted the Eng
lish surgeon, Richard Schuckbury by
name, who was seated beside the well
at the back of the "0ld Mansion" to
write the squib:
' Yankee Doodle came to town
Riding on pony,
Stuck a feather in his hat
And call it macaroni.'"
The last word was synonymous with
our word dude" and was used at the
time to express contempt. The words
fitted to the well-known air of Lucy
Locket Lost Her Pocket" and the
jingle and air caught the fancy of the
troops. Thus the jibe, instead of pro-
voking the Yankee regiment, was most
cleverly turned by them into compli-
ment to their unique appearance, and
the English officers soon found they
bad no drawer men under their com
mand than the Connecticut regiment,
with Thomas Fitch, the original
yankee Doodle" at their head.
