TARIFFS vs.. WAGES.
Some Economic Points That Are
Worthy of CONFEDERATION.

Some Economic Points That Are
Worthy Of Consideration.
Economically, what difference is
there between restricting the importa-
tion of iron to benefit iron producers
and restricting sanitary improvements
to benefit undertakes.
To attempt to make Nation pros
porous by preventing it from buying
from other Nations is as absurd as it
would be to attempt to make q man
prosperous by preventing him from
buying from other men.
If not true already, it will not I'M
der present conditions be many years
before the English aristocracy will
draw far larger incomes from their
American estates than from their
home estates-incomes to supply
which We must export without any re-
turn in imports.
Now, against what country is it that
American protectionists demand pro-
lection. IT we could have a protec-
tive tariff against only one country in
the whole world, what country is it
that American protectionists would
select to be protected against? On
questionsbly it is Great Britain,
which, instead OF being the country of
lowest wages, is next to the United
States and British Colonies, the coun-
try of highest wages.
SIT is a poor rule that will not work
both ways" If we require a protec-
tive tariff because of our high wages,
then countries of low wages require
free trade; or, at the very least, have
nothing to fear from free trade. How
is it, then, that we find protectionists
of Germany, France and other low
wage countries protesting that their
industries will be ruined by the free
competition of the higher wage in
dustries of Great Britain and the
United States, just as vehemently
as our protectionists protest that our
industries would be ruined if exposed
to free competition with the products
of the 'pauper labor" of Europe?-

A congress Of the chambers OF COM
merce of the British empire has just
been held In London, England. On
Che last day Of the session resolution
was adopted that we hope to see put
into operation both so far as 1t applies
to England and to the United States.
It was for the doing away Of the pres
emit cumbersome standard Of weights
and measures, and in England the
abolition Of the present system OF
money notation, such as pounds, shill-
fngs, etc. The resolution says that
the system Of pounds, shillings, pence
and farthings is very cumbersome, es-
pecially when applied to the foreign
trade, and that the decimal system OF
dollars and cents, In vogue not only
In the United States, but also in the
dominion OF Canada, is far to be pre-
tsrred. 1t is suggested that the change
might be easily made By making the
pound equal to FIVE dollars and the
shilling edual to rs cents. about what
they are now worth In actual transae-
lions. AS to weights and measures,
the decimal system, in use In all coun-
tries, but in the United States and Brit
ish empire, is the perfect system, and
should supplant the present arbitrary
one.

BETWEEN TWO FIRES.
Are the Candidates for Govern
or and the Legislature.
Prohibftionfsts on One Side, @.
Nj. B. on the Other.
Both are Determined that Candidates
Shall Define Their Position on the
Liquor Question.

The Kansas State Temperance union
and the o. NJ. B. are two organizations
with entirely different purposes. One
is doing all it can to uphold the pro
hibitOry law and the other is working
just as hard to overthrow the law.
Both organizations are endeavOring
to see that the candidates nominated
are right on this all important ques-
ton The candidates and prospective
candidates are accordingly being close
~ watched.
The Kansas State Temperance union
has taken the first step to find out how
the men who aspire for the guberna-
torial nomination in the different par
ties and the candidates for the legisla-
ture stand on the prohibitory law
The prospective candidates for gov
ernor viii be the first questioned and
Secretary Stephens is now busy pre-
pairing the letters TO be sent out.
The following questions viii be asked:
Are you in favor Of enforcing the
prohibitory law?
Are you in favor of the prohibitory
law?
are you in favor Of resubmission2
The answers are to be compiled by
the secretary and printed in the organ
of the union and given the widest pos
siDle circulation.
The legislative candidates will be re-
Quested TO answer the same questions
and their answers are to be treated in
q similar manner
If a candidate refuses to. answer that
fact is to be printed. If no reply is re-
celved, a second opportunity is to be
given and a second list of question
VIII be mailed so there can be no ex-
cuse that the matter was overlooked.
The Mystic brotherhood is following
somewhat the same plan to secure in
formation about the candidates but
they are working secretly. A trusted
member is sent to the candidate and he
IS asked to define his position on the
Prohibition question. The member re-
ports to the organization and a record
is made If one member fails to get
the desired information another is
sent
If the candidate declares that he is
in favor of resubnission he is asked as
, an evidence of goOd faith to become a
member of the o. NJ B. If he does
that they have no fear that he VIII
escape.
