LOOK OUT FOR THEM;


Thousands OF honest people in farming
communities were deceived by bogus tin
peddlers. who held their wares at ridie-
ulously high prices. and asserted that it
was because OF the Mckinley tariff.
These wagoas were sent out by demo-
crate authority. not to peddb., but TO
mislead voters among the farmers This
scheme was hrst tried in the Western
AID Middle states in the congressional
elections Of 1850. and the same scheme
was worked in other states in 1Sg2
A similar attempt 10 fool the farmers

hiding places and repailted. this time

guished Americans which are distorted
into support OF the free coinage of silver.
now worth less than oae-half Of what
1t was at the date at which these utter
ances are said 20 have been made These
wagons are being paraded in Ohio and
ether states where campaigns are in prog
ress by the class of men who proved so
dangerous to the great cities last fall in
the dissemination of the seeds OF aaaroh-
ism and riot
They profess to be engaged ia obtain
ing subscribers for free silver publl-
cation. with which they are giving away
a book written BY Coin" Harvey, whose
mouthings are now recognized by every
intelligent citizen as not only false, but
intended to deceive and breed disquietude
and danger to the republic. These men
are supported by the owners Of silver
mines. who thus seek to induce the Amer
ican people to supply market Tor their
products, ard are endeavoring to do this
by falsehood and the spreading of doc
trines dangerous to the perpetuity Of free
government.
Everybody knows that the statements
of this class Of fakirs, who were an i'm
portant feature of the campaign OF ls93,
we're absolute lies. and that their work
in the great cities in sowing the seeds of
dissenslon last fall was even more dan
gerous. Their appearance in the country
districts now will be resented by the
good people Of every community.

THE OBJECTION NOT GOOD.

There are people who have objections
to advertising matter in the columns OF
a newspaper. The ground OF objection
is that they do not want to read ad-
vertisements. Now this objection is not
good, for oftentimes these advertise
ments convey valuable information.
For instance. how else would the trav-
cling public learn Of the excellent din
ing car service of the Wisconsin Cen
tral lines between ST. Paul and Chicago.
or the general comfort OF travelling over
this popular line. For particulars call

who pays the duty?" is an old ques-
tion which all republicans and former
republicans should be able to answer in
the light Of experience. When a heavy
duty on rails was imposed, more than
thirty years ago, men wrote pondcrous
essays to prove that the farmers and con-
sumers were taxed ouuageously because
rails were made more costly. Then the
country imported about a third Of the
quantity required, and paid over $50 per
ton for ircn and s15s for steel rails. But
in ten years the production had SO far
Increased that imports practically stop
ped. and the country paid an average, in
1877. Of 1856 for iron and $3.50 for steel
rails. In ten years more the home de-
mand had increased more than three
Told. and yet the production also rose
more than threefold. and while iron rails
went out Of use steel rails averaged
z7ls per ton. Now the country is able
