bill raises it to 8. This announcement
brought ont the fact that there was
exported during the month of January
of this year, from the port of Baltimore
alone, 3.56O,OOO feet of lumber, $1,000
slaves and 4,545 logs of wood. If the
lumbermem can export to that extent
during a period that lumber is on the
free list, it would seem that there is no
necessity for a tariff tax on timber IN
less it is for the purpose of robbing
the modest home builders of the eoun-
try for the benefit of the rapaciOus
lumber trust.
The tariff mOngers of the ways and
means committe have announced
perceptible increase in the tax on agri-
cultural products. This is a sort of
stub to the whale" and credits the
farmers with much gUllibility. 1t
sounds very we'll to a farmer who does
not read or thiDk-if there are such
that his wheat crop is protected and
that those who import Irish potatoes
from Germany or other foreign coun-
tries will be compelled to pay tax on
them. But the farmer who does read
and think will reflect that wheat is
rarely imported; that the movement of
all kinds of cereals is chiefly in the
other direction, and that the importa-
ton of potatoes, cabbages and similar
farm products, is when there are crop
failures here, and in that event the
farmer is obliged to buy as well as
others. During the month of January
this year there we're exported from
New York to England markets $500
packages of butter, and in view of that
fact it is not easy to see how a tariff
tax on dairy products is going help the
farmers of this country, Taking it all
in all, the tariff tiukers are having a
rather hard time of it,-Kansss City

ers, would You be free? Would you see
the regime Of corporate power and class
despotism at an end? Would you see
she shackles stricken forever from the
limbs of humanity, and behold emanci-
pation-the Febirth-of the nation
which Jefferson reyered, that Paine
wrote and wrought to establish? Do
you believe that this Can come through
the ballot? MOI You do mott Have
not the reformers spent their lives,
their fortunes and their energies in the
cause Of political reform through the
ballot box, aud what has been the re-
suit? Have they not seen the cunning
and INSCRIPTIONS always victorious,
emerging from every campaign master
of the spOils9 Have you any hopes
that this viii be changed in the future?
The past is one long protest against
the ballot as a means Of reformation. "
Scarcely a day passes that do not
receive one or more appeals to join one
or the other of the revolutionary orders
now being formed in this country and
offers Of money and arms are frequent
ty received if 1 will give my efforts to
the cause of revolution. Thus far 1
have persistently declined to give aid
OF encouragement to such movement.
But if, through the writings of such
men as Private Dalzell, revolution
comes, in spite of all efforts to prevent
it, 7 will not be found among the COW
ards nor on the side of the plutocratic
classes.
Someone personally acquainted with
Private Dalzel should urge him to
desist from recommending war as a
means of relief to our people. One
word in favor of war with a foreign
country will multiply tenfold into a
desire Tor revolution az nome. Inc
general unrest of the people is not
caused by their hatred of foreign ma
tiOns, but because of robbery imposed
on them by class legislation of our own
government, and if melted to war as q
means Of relief they will direct their
attack against til source of their op-
preston and not atajnst a foreign ma
ton that did not possess the admins
trative power to impose the conditions
from which they suffer, These facts
should be fully considered by Private
Dalzell before invoking heaven to has
ten war with another country.

TROUBLE FOR TARIFF Thinkers.
The Scale Of Trade Already In Favor of
America Without Tariff.

The Scale Of Trade Already In Favor of
America Without Tariff.
When the expectation of pig metal to
Great Britain began it seemed like
carrying Goals to Newcastle" an evan
escent enterprise for speculation or
sport. Now, however, it has assumed a
different aspect. George W. Parker,
United States Consul at Birmingham,
England, a student of economics of
keen intelligence, writes to the state
department at Washington of the re-
ceipt in that great iron center of Eu-
rope of large consignments of American
pig iron at ten shillIngs a ton under
the minimum English prices. Hitherto
the operations in this traffic have been
limited to the southern iron districts,
especially the Alabama field, but Con-
sal Parker states that Philadelphia has
entered into the competition. In view
of that fact, it is not surprising that
British iron makers are disquieted over
the matter or that they are beginning
to realize that superior natural advaut-
ages and improved processes of maui
factUre have turned the scale of trade
in favor of America.
These are interesting facts for the
consideration of those republican mem
bers of the house ways and means COM
mittee who are wasting their time on
tariff tinkering in Washington. But
these are not the only developments of
recent date to cause discourage ment
among the high protectionists. The
other day it was announced that the
majority of the committee engaged in
the self-impOsed task of making a tariff
bill for the next congress had complet-
ed the lumber schedule, and had agreed
to the rates in the Mckinley law on all
woods except white pine. White pine
is the lumber which the poor men use
for building purposes. They cannot
afford the hard wood floors and finish
ings and the frescoed ceilings which
adorn the mansions of the millionaires
and consequently rely on the cheap
product of the pine forest. The Nc.
Kinley law rate on white pine was 81 q
thousand feet, and the proposed new

Mr.. STRIKER, the state superinten-
dent of public instruction, has called
attention to the fact that the noble
heritage Kansas gave to its public
schools has been ruthIessly wasted. 1t
does seem strange that the vast amount
of lands donated to the schools bring
in per capita income of only about 40
cents. The school fund has been was
ted on worthless bonds and many mil
lions that with good management would
almost have supported the public school
system, are as good as lost by the Grim
inal carelessness of officials elected by
the people to promote and not destroy
the trust. 1t is a late day to awake to
the seriousness of the condition of the
permanent school fund; it is like lock.
ing the stable door after the horse is
stolen.
