NOW ARKANSAW'S PITY.

This nation has again been repriman.
ded by the glorious state of Arkansaw-
the state without which this nation
would have had to struggle along minus
the fiddled Arkansas Traveller. Opie
Reeds story of the leaky roof and the
Smithsonian institute funds reputation
these three items being Arkansaw'
only contributions 10 the nation.
Governor Clarke Of that state has Is
sued his Thanksgiving proclamation il
which he deplores the nations action
towards the free coinage Of silver.
His proclamation reads:
I'm conformity with the proclamation
of the president Of the United States,
respectfully request that Thursday Nov.
%, be set apart and observed as day
of thanksgiving and prayer. The peo-
ple of Arkansas are infinitely indebted
to their Maker for the blessings OF gen.
eral good health. and for the measure
of social and material prosperity that 1t
has not been within the power Of man
to entirely destroy by unwise policies
and laws.
1--WE have been provided for in abun-
dance from Gods storehouse. and our
only cause for murmur or complaint Is
to be found in such things as the mis-
guided action Of our fellow citizens in
other sections have imposed upon US.
With us every prospect please and only
man Is VILE
Let US, therefore, on the nay named,
return profound and unstinted thanks
to the Creator for the bounty 1t has
pleased Him to bestow upon US as
state, and to praise and bless Him for
the privilege yet preserved to US of still
persisting in our task in making those
gropins in the darkness Of selfishness
and error know the right, and knowing,
dare to maintain It.
'It must also be deemed a part OF our
obligation on this occasion to include in
our supplications and to remember with
our substance those Of our people who
are sick and needy. Let this practical
side Of our religious duty be brought into
exercise, as well as that feature which
finds expression In words and SYM
pathy''
So Arkansas weeps for the misguided
action Of it's fellow citizens ''in Other
sections" In other sections! VIII!
doesn't Arkansas shove the rest OF The
world OF the globe, or at least do a.
rlucl: as the Greeks did and revise al
the maps showing Arkansas plainl!
with the rest of the globe marked
'Barbarians."

OPPORTUNITY FOB CELEBRATION.

The course to be pursued by the Re
publicans on the tariff requires the most
careful craftsmanship. 1t may De set
out that the party is committed to the
protective system. While this is true
there is danger In the name Of protec-
ton to misuse the principle The Ameri-
can people are willing to protect Ameri-
can labor against under-paid European
or Asiatio labor. In doing this by means
Of discriminating duties kept within
rational bounds our industries may be
diversified, American markets pfomot-
ed, American industrial Independence
secured and maintained and the general
welfare Of this nation advanced Not
withstanding this the Republican party
should have the intelligence to see TO il
that the beneficiaries of protection
should not make use Of the advantage
given them by law to take shelter be
hind protective tariffs to form trusts
and monopolies for the purpose Of fix
ing extortionate prices to be exacted OF
consumers Every trust that has for
its object the exaction OF higher prices
for articles controlled by it, forfeits the
assistance of discriminating tariffs.
When it is clearly demonstrated that a
protective tariff aids the purpose of the
trust in fixing prices, the reason for
levying discriminating duties on such
articles ceases. Protection should fos-
ter honest American enterprise and
should not be made the instrument for
fostering a dishonest monopoly. This
criticism has limited but pertinent ap-
plication-
Again. duties should not be unreason-
ably high. Duties high enough TO cover
the difference in the labor and cost, in
the manufacture OF the domestic article
practically sets limit upon the duty.
The agricultural part OF this country
which is only incidentally interested in
protection, looks with a grain OF sus-
niclon upon protective duties higher
than this. Ii Is 10 be kept il mind
that there are some just complaints
from the agricultural customers for a
limited number OF articles. upon which
high duties have enabled certain mono
polistic concerns 10 tx high prices. This
should not he. A reasonable protective
tariff VIII meet the necessities OF the
occasion and win keep IN the Republi-
can party many conservative Demo

Populists. In other words, the Demo
cratic party of Kansas has been COM
pletely assimilated by the Populisfs.
The Popuiists have granted their last
concession. Those which they surren-
dereL at st. Louis-female suffrage and
government ownership of public utili-
ties, they viii speedily reclaim. They
feel certain that they can do this, so fast
have they tied up the Democrats.
And the strange part of all this is that
many former Democrats have become
SO changed into Populists that they viii
consent to female suffrage and to public
ownership Of utilities. to the most
astounding changes in the constitution
and to Prohibition and other radically
advanced measures. In fact, they have
ceased to be Democrats entirely and are
full-Hedged Populists.
This is the change that has taken
plaza il Kansas as nearly as it can be
figured out. Populism has lost little in
it's alliance with Democracy. 1t has re-
tanned. above all. the soul of its exist
en.,e-socialism. Changed as it may be
from the day OF its secret lodge and
grip and sign; different as it may ap-
paar to be from the hour of its demands
for sub-treasury warehouses and the
election of the president by a popular
vote and the abolition of the United
States senate, il is still the same in that.
It was agrarian the night an old farmer
called the first alliance together in Cow
ley county, Kansas. and it is agrarian
today when it is taking the last gulp
which ends its deglutition Of Democ.

THE WEAK wills ON BILL

Once for all IT should be settled as to
Just what the Wilson tariff bin has been.
So radically different was 1t from what
the Democratic party had promised so
long that the impression was created
that it was 'good enough protective
measure for anybody" that as a Re
publican measure it was more to the
liking of the country than the Mckinley
bill
Unless the idea that the Wilson bill
has been effective in any way is now
refuted we shall be hearing for years
that the bill was all right.
The bin is all wrong. The first func-
ton of bull on imports is revenue. To
this the Republican policy has added the
function Of protecting home industries.
The Wilson bill has failed in both these
Offices. 1t Is for its failure in the III
stance of revenue that the passage Of
the Dingley bill at the coming session
is championed. 1t Is because Of its fail
ure In the other instance that an extra
session of congress may be called i'm
mediately after President McKinley's
Inauguration.
As a revenue measure the Wilson bill
has now passed the experimental stage,
and it's practical operation has demon
started that it will not furnish the re-
Quisite amount of revenue to meet the
ordinary expenditures Of the govern
ment. Since July i, Il period Of four
and 0ne-half months, the receipts I'M
der the present law were $113, S95, 9O1,
Of which SIS, $50, 324 was from customs
and $6O,O15,577 from internal revenue.
The receipts from miscellaneous sources
increased this aggregate Of these sums
to $122,5I5, 547. IN the same period the
expenditures were nearly S162, 0OO, 900,
leaving deficiency Of $39, 331, ) 40. Thus
we are running behind at the rate OF
nearly $780, 600 month, with no pros
pect Of improvement. At this rate the
deficiency for the current fiscal year
viii reach at least SSO.OOO.OOO. For the
same period Of last year the customs re-
ceipts were nearly $50, 0O0, 900, the in
ternal revenue So, 836. 65S. and the total
S131, OO0, OCO, including about $1,000, 900
from miscellaneous sources, while the
| ordinary expenditures were upward of
$152, OO0, GOO, leaving a deficiency of $21,
OOO,OO0 These figures establish beyond
controversy the insuficiency Of the
present law to meet the requirements Of
the treasury.

THE RAINBS LIQUOR LAW.

There is some commotiOn, mostly
political, in New York over the passage
of the new liquor law, known as the
RaineS' Bill. 1t has been signed by
Governor Morton and is now the law
Of the Empire state. The Leayenworth
Times most succinctly sets out its aims
and provisions in saying that it is
heroic effort to grapple scientifically
with the liquor question. 1t is the re-
suit of much hard work on the part of
the Roosevelt refOrmers. 1t is COM
binatiOn Of high license and local OPP
ton.
The provisions Of the Raines law are
rather sweeping. In brief, it abOlishes
excise boards of all sorts, and orders
that license shall issue to any one who
pays the tax. provided that the appl-
cant shall never have been convicted
OF any crime. The license fee in New
York city is raised from $3.50 TO $500,
and in Brooklyn from 800 TO $3.50. In
other towns the license varies from
500 to $500, according to the popula-
ton. Ali clubs are regarded as
saloons. Drug-stOreS are taxed 500 a
year. Steamboats, and railroad cars
selling liquor are taxed 5000 each.
License fees are divided between the
state and the county in which they are
collected, twO-thirds going to the coun-
ty treasurer. Local option is provided
for in small towns, but is denied to
cities. The Sunday closing question is
not to be subject to popular vote in
New York or Brooklyn. No saloon
shall be licensed within 200 feet of any
without consent of owner or |
owners. Licenses are revokable by APP
plication to supreme court, and no |
licensee shall have another license |
within five years thereafter.
Saloon blinds are abolished, and the |
Interior must be clearly exposed to
view from outside. Free lunches are
prohibited. Restaurants must not
serve drinks with meals on Sunday,
and apartment hotels are forbidden to
serve drinks to guests in their rooms at
any time.
The practical working Of this law
should be watched with close interest
throughout the country, especially by
The people Of Kansas who are Disguised
with their own liquor law.

There are seventy thousand voters IN

the platform fayOrs resubmlssion. There
is no getting away from the fact that the

ton be drummed out OF politics. and they
are in position 10 enforce their demand
