VEST MISTAKES THE FACTS.

The deadly parallel is being drawn
on Senator Vest, who in his opening
speech against the proposed tariff went
far away from the facts and figures
The comparison is made with the fig
ures of the Statistical Abstract of the
United States, and it is seen that the
senator only hits the facts in SO out of
| a total of &C statements. OF the
80 statements referring to the exports
of the year 1896 under the Wilson bill,
he only got it right II times. This is
hardly the thing for the statistician of
the Democratic party to go before the
country with, particularly as it is upon
so wild shy at the facts that the op-
position to the reform measure is bas-
ed. This is hardly to be wondered at
however, for it would not have been
fairly possibly to make out a case 9TH
erwise than by classifying the record.
In stump speech this inaccuracy may
do, but that dependence which is usu-
ally put upon Democratic ignorance
and credulity in matters Of tariff up
on the stump cannot be relied upon in
the Senate chamber of the nation.
There the inquest into facts is too
close and the reports of the speeches
too accurate to be readily, lodged.
There is method in this perversion of
facts, for 1t is a part of the whole plan
to belittle the necessity of rearrang-
ing the scedules Of the tariff, while at
the same time it, creates a false i'm
preston of the effect of the Wilson
bill upon the exports of the country.
That the speech of Senator Vest has
stirred up the inquiry of the press of
the country as to the facts, so misrep-
resented by him, will have it's benefi-
cial effects upon public opinion. There
are those who care nothing for the
facts, but the great industries and the
OF the country are not among
them. Business is taking precedence
Of theory in determining political ac-
ton in this country and there will be
little support for theories that deperdl
upon actual nlisstatements in order |
TO give them standing. Senator Vest |
has conferred favor upon the friends |
II the tariff bill in thus affording them
IN opportunity to show how utterly at |
'arience with the Industrial figures of /
he statistical bureau are the figures |
hat he quotes to- support his opposi-
ion policy.

Tillman did not have the manhood
to retract, or apologize, or explain
when Senator Smith OF New Jersey
put him in the pillorY. During Smiths
absence Tillman attacked the senator's
who sDeculated in sugar, and when
put into a hole and forced to name
some one senator who had done the
act, he looked around and seeing that
Smith was, absent named him. Sena-
tor Smith on his netlxgm denounced
the statement as false in every partic-
ular, and his denial was so explicit as
to leave no room for misconstruction-
Tillman sat and took it all like a
whipped cur and never spoke There
should be an investigation and if there
is no reason for the malicious charge
of Talkey Tillman, then the committee
should put him in the public pillory
and brand him a slandereI.

Some of the railroad rates that have
been given to this city for the drill and
camp of instruction are acceptable and
others are not up to the mark. The
railroads should come right speedily
to the front to help out all that a low
rate Of transportation possibly can, for
this is the announcement that some of
the far away companies are holding
back for. A $500 rate within a radius
of 300 miles with an additional cent for
each added mile would about fill the
bill.

In awarding a contract to the sugar
importer instead of to the representa-

States government has given a praeti-

that monopoly. First thing the trust
will understand where it is at, and
knowledge will filter through its brain
pan that trusts are not included in the
protective work of the Republican
party. 1t is time that the lesson was
written for all the trusts in letters

No man ever yet lived who loved a
woman, in the true sense Of that term,
killed her because she loved some one
better than himself. The killing of the
object of real affection is sometimes
put down in the books but it is not in
real life, except in those exceptional
cases where it is to save the object of
affection from a worse fate, as from
the hand of mutilation or outrage
