Mr.. Folks Views.

Mr.. Edit0r-I see that the campaign
is commencing, and as we see much
said about prosperity, we feel disposed
to give some of our experience and
views of the times.
We feel with many of our fellowmen
that the hard times with the farmer
and day laborer is for the lack of cir
culation of money in the country, and
we believe that the cause of the hard
times is the present system of trade.
We must have some way to circulate
money among the people before we
will have any better times. | was one
among the first to advocate free and
unlimited coinage in Iron county and
am sure it would have been good for
the people, but would not given us
relief. You can coin gold and silver
and print greenbacks all you please
and it will be the same. To read the
Treasurer's reports and Dun's reports
it would look like the country was
prosperous, but with the farmer it is
the same. No money in the country.
Well, Brother Farmers and Laborers,
what then is to be done that we may
have the much longed for prosperity?
| am going to give you some of my
views and then l want you to give
yours, for this is the only way to solve
he question.
First of all, I would say, give us a
cash system of trade; let every man
that handles produce or the neces-
saries of life for profit pay cash for the
same, and then we can pay cash to our
fellowmen. And we have the means
of getting money in the country, and
this will equalize and put every man
on an equal footing, and to compete
for the trade; then we will haye pros
perity that will last.
Next, let US do away with all ap-
preparations for State schools, as that
only benefits few that are able to
school their children; and next get rid
of the Text Book system, as it now is
it is disgrace to the party in power.
The irst school year many children
had to do without books because they
this year it will take thousands of dol
lars out of the patrons and put it in
the hands of the book trust.
Now, fellow sufferers, if this gets in
print, and | hear from some of you !
will be well paid for my effort. Hop
ing to see the time when the men that
bear the toll of the world, will be rec
ognized at the polls, only to be forgotten
until the next election year, | remain
your fellow sufferer, fully realizing
what is bfore US, G. K. Polk.

PREPARING TARIFF REGULATIONS
Treasury Experts to Be Sent Down
to Santiago
TO OPEN UP BUSINESS S

President Mckinley and secretary Gage
are giving some attention to the subject of
tariff for eastern Cuba. Until a Cuban re-
public is fully established the United States
will conduct !he affeirs of the island under
military governorship and regulations. Af
fairs have not yet reached point where
the United States car exercise this control
OF the whole island, but the government
can begin with the portions now held by 1t
and extend the regulations to the portions
hereafter acquired. By the time Havana
falls something Ike order win have been
restored.
President Mckinley Is exceedingly anX-
,ious that everything possible shall be done
to enliven business at Santiago. He wants
to see the commerce between Cuba and the
United States, and with other countries,
resumed AMI contentment replace the
chaos now existing
Opening Up Business.
The President and Secretary Gage had q
conference this morning over the matter
OF at once opening business at Santiago by
the establishment and enforcement of tar
if laws. Secretary Gage will consult with
the tariff experts Of the treasury today,
and tariff schedule will soon be prepared
and submitted to TIE President
II has not been decided whether the
Spanish tariff or an American tariff will
be agreed upon. The whole question will
be gone into fully, and whatever Is best to
revive business and bring prosperity to
Santiago will be agreed upon. The Pres
ident will be glad to give the Spaniards and
Cubans lesson in how such affairs may
be managed.
Experts to Go to Santiago.
While the tariff will be enforced under
the direction OF Gen. McKibben, military
governor at Santiago it is proposed to send
number of tariff experts to do this work.

SCHLEY'S TRIP TO SANTIAGO
Spanish Batteries and Forts Do Not
Prove Teror-lnspiring.
CASTLE NOT DEMOLISHED

Commodore Schley made an in
spection OF Santiago harbor and its
defenses yesterday. He found Nor
ro Castle undemolished and without
a gun. All the much-feared shore
batteries dwindled into insignihcance
when closely seen.
The District volunteers are disap-
pointed because they missed the
fighting and as there is a possibility
that they may not be sent to Porto
Rico there may be more waiting
among the ardent boys in blue from
the capital city.
Gen. Brooke had a conference
with Secretary Alger regarding the
expedition to Porto Rico, and the
naval war board, with Secretary Al
ger and Gen. Corbin, conferred with
the President later, it is believed with
reference to plans of invasion as well
as the expedition against Spain.
Orders have been issued for prep
arations to be finished by the end Of
this week for the departure of Com
modore Watson's squadron for
Spain.
1t is understood that the greater
part Of the expedition against Porto
Rico will leave from Newport News.
The seventeen companies Of the
Volunteer Signal Corps have been
recruited to their full strength.
1t has been decided to put guns in
the cruiser Buffalo, and her COM
mander will have it fitted UP.
Several dispatches relating to de-
tails were received from Gen. Shat
ter. The general situation at Santi-
ago is unchanged.
The President and Secretary Gage
today consulted about tariff regula-
tons for eastern Cuba, with a. view
to opening up business in Santiago.
There are no immediate prospects
OF peace, and no propositions have
been directly or indirectly submitted
to this government.
