But a protective tariff bill will be
passed, and the thousands of American
farmers who voted for Mr.. Mckinley
will pay The price for their misguided
ballot. Ii is not the American manu-
facturer, hut the American farmer who
is being ground by the hard times. A
tariff bill will not enhance the price of
wheat: it will not enhance the price of
corn, of oats, of hay, of barley, or any
of the products of the soil. 1t will not
add one extra pound of flesh 10 the
farmers stock, nor add one extra cent
t o ITS market price. Everything the
farmer raises is exported in large
quantities. The price of wheat and of
the products of the farm is governed
by the price at Liverpool and the mar

ANOTHER BUNCo GAME.


President Mckinley called congress
together in extraordinary session for
the purpose of passing a protective
tariff bill.
1t will be remembered that Grover
Cleveland was elected on q tariff plat
form, and Immediately after bis lnau-
guration convened congress for the
purpose of framing financial legisla-
ton.
Mr.. Mckinley was elected, 80 it was
claimed, on the financial question, but
his message to congress makes no sug-
gestions as to legislation along the line
Of the leading issue in the campaign.
We were told that when Mckinley
was elected, a tidal wave of prosperity
would sweep the country; that conf
dence would be restored, the mills
opened, business would be revived, and
prosperity and contentment knock at
the door of every sovereign citizen.
We we're told during The campaign
that all that affected the welfare of the
citizen was what our republican friends
term the tendency to adopt a ''dishonest
money system. Upon misrepresenta-
tions of the issues, false promises, and
by virtue of an enormous campaign
fund, the tariff barons elected their
mortgaged candidate to the presidency,
and a congress in sympathy with him.
We are now told that the country is
suffering, not because of its financial
policy, but because of its tariff laws.
And the president, at the instigation of
the tariff barons, has convened con-
gress, that a high prohibitive tariff
law might be enacted.
Just another buneo game.
Cleveland said: "Repeal the Sher-
man law, and prosperity will be
restored" The law was repealed, and
the American people soon awoke to
the realization that they had been
buncoed.
Mckinley said: ''Declare for a gold
standard, and prosperity will be re-
The hypocritical slogan of
s'sound money" drew to him thousands
Of votes. He was elected, and now the
people awake to the realization of
another bunco game.
1t is In admitted fact, and statistics
will prove it, that the Wilson tariff
law produced more revenue than the
Mckinley tariff bill. And yet we are
told that we need another Mckinley
bill to produce revenue.
We may need the revenue, but n
tariff bill will never raise
1t. The history of the Mckinley bill
proves this statement. The fact is
that the only class of people that is to
be benefited or is DESTROYS of a tariff
law are those who have grown rich on

SETTLE THE BRIDE PRoBLEM.

SETTLE THE BRIDE PROBLEM.
Lexington should either build that
bridge Or quit talking about it. For
= two years it has hung over this city, a
barrier TO every public movement that
might be suggested. II the bridge is
built, Lexington can well afford the
time she has spent in working the
matter up.
OF course it cannot be said that it is
L~exfngton's fault That the bridge has
not been built. We subscribed the
money once, and would have built the
bridge had we been able ut that time
to secure a railroad contract. We now
have a proposition from Il railroad and
a charter 10 build the bridge, and it
rests with Lexington to again raise the
amount.
The INTELLlGENCER insists, in the
name of this far city, that the citizens
decide this bridge problem.
The proposition has hung fire now
for about we years, and it can be
settled in a mass meeting in two hours.
Within these two years an electric line
to MAYHEM, a wagon bridge, II city
hall, a national park, Il public library,
aud other public movements have been
suggested. All of these have met
their death in the bridge problem.
We are willing to admit that a rail
road and wagon bridge is more inn
portant than all these, but we contend
that the time is at hand when this
bridge question should be settled, and
settled forever.
1t will be a great misfortune if we
do not build the bridge, but every hour
that we are wasting idly discussing the
proposition places hat or some other
good improvement one hour further
away.
The INTELLIGENCER insists that the
citizens of this city owe, it to them
selves and 10 their posterity to take
final action in this matter. 1t is a
detriment to this city and a blot upon
its fair name to let such a proposition
hang fire forever. To our certain knowl-
edge the citizens of Lexington have
not contributed anything to public i'm
provements for four years, and their
failure to 10 so has been exeusable on
the ground that they did not know
just what time they would be called
on to help build that bridge. Every
public improvement has been given
up to it, and it is time somewhere to
call a halt. We should build that
bridge or bury our good intentions. :
The INTELLIGENcER suggests that
the directors of the bridge company /
call a mass meeting of the subscribers |
to the bridge fund, and let them decide
whether or not the bridge will be
built. II they decide that it shall be,
which we believe they will, Lexington
will enjoy ar era of prosperity such as
she has never enjoyed before. If they
decide not to build it, then at a con-
venient season we can take up some
other matter, which IL not of equal i'm
portance, will be of great Importance {
to our city.
It would be a burning shame to give .
up the bridge project, but it would be
a greater shame to continue the agita- !
ten of it, II it is not within the ability I
OF the city to carry 1t TO a successful ]
end. Lexington should quit dreaming,
and do something substantial. 4

Jonah And The Whale.

To the Editor of the Intelligcncer.
1t is sad 1 think that some ministers
of The Holy Gospel of this day do not
con .ider It true, that the big fish, which
the Lord had prepared for the recep-
ton of Jonah, swallowed Jonah and
that he was three days and three nights
in the belly of that fish. There are
~legiors of people who do not believe in
miracles of the past and there were
those in the days of Il long time before
this who would not believe in miracles
even when they saw them performed
with their own eyes. For the benefit
of those who do not know what a mir
acle is | will state that u miracle is
something above human power. John
vi, I-Ij-thousands had congregated
because they saw his miracles which he
did on them that were diseased. Eve
ming came and the multitude became
hungry. In this crowd stood little Ben
Ezra with Miriam, his mother, who
was IL sister to Phillip one of the twelve
apostles. This lad had in his basket
five barley loaves and two small fishes,
but what were they among so many,
vet Jesus fed about five thousand peo-
pie until they were filled and yet with
the fragments twelve baskets were filled
over and above unto them that eat.

Judging from the literary and philo-
sophical work of Capt. Henry King
before he became editor of the st.
Louis Globe-D Democrat, he is o big a
man TO approve of printing such insults
to Missourians as the one quoted below
and which emanates from the gross
ignorance. of the Nebraska State Jour
nal: 1.-The legislature of Missouri pro-
poses to execute all the condemned
criminals in the state penitentlary
instead of at the county %jails. A pub
lic-spirited woman in referring TO the
measure says: Within a few years
the beautiful hills around jefferson
City will be converted into cemeteries
If they plant as many Missourians as
that the state will be safely republican
in the future" Now while we find
this in thee lobe Democrat we are sure
Capt. King will not Indorse the propo-
sition that the more "Missourlans" ale
''planted" the better it is for the repub-
lican party. OF what material, pray,
is the republican party In Missouri com
posed if 1t is to be benefited by ''plant-
ing" Missourians? So far as criminal
ity is CONCERNED 1t is well understood
that two thirds of the criminals in
Missouri are republicans. Roughly
stated one-half OF the white criminals
are democrats and one-balf are repub-
l%icans. One third of all the criminals
are negroes and these are practically
all republicans. Therefore, if the
ignoramus of the Nebraska newspaper
knew better Of what he was writing he
would not have tried to make political
capital where his party a find none.

Monday morning about ten O'Clock Ed

by Mr.. Fred Meet. The boy had entered

ately made his escape from the house
but MIR. Meet, who happened to be pass

him and finally succeeded. He had got
ten IA lot OF jewelry from Mrs. Erskine
