which alone he must look i'm the
future to sustain his trust.
Our friend, Redfield, is also
mistaken in his addenda, where
in he says that selfish personal
motives actuate those who dis
cuss public questions. He does
not seem to realize that such
things as patriotism and a re-
gard for the rights of humanity
exist.
He, however, has the merit of
frankness and freely acknowl-
edges that his object in writing
is to get the Ardmore postofice.
know nothing of the rivalries
existing between my republican
friends. | fear, however, that
his article will not help him.
While like Redfeld, person
ally, truth compels me to say
that if his article is a fair sam
pie of his ideas, then as a writer
upon political economy he is
without an inferior upon the
American continent. The au-
thorities at Washington will
likely come to the same conclu-
sion.
So far as my articles on the
tariff are concerned, they are
being published at the request
of some of the best men and
farmers of this or any other
country. They have not the
time or means of information
convenient to look up such
questions. | am safe in saying
that l have been asked to write
this series of articles by at least
a hundred farmers in different
sections of the country. will

of articles on the subject of f.

REDFIELD ON THE TARIFF.
For the Ardmoreite.

not a matter of surprise that in
his article in Sundays ARD
MoREITE he has fallen into as
many errors of fact and opinion
as could be we'll expressed in
the same space.
He is in error in supposing
that | have ever advocated or
defended the policy adopted in
the Wilson BILL" While the
Wilson bill did make some re-
ductions in the tariff. yet, it
never met my approval, except
as a slight mitigation of an
otherwise unmitigated evil
Another mistake of our friend
is in supposing that because he
bought a suit which only cost
IS SO he escaped paying the
tariff. If he will take his mind
off of the Ardmore postofice
long enough to investigate this
matter, he will find that, were
it not for the tariff, he could
have purchased the same suit
for a little er$4. Section $40
of the tariff law places a tax of
sixty per centum ad valorem,
and in addition thereto forty
four cents per pound, upon
clothing made wholly or in part
of wool. Any Echoolboy knows
that this more than doubles the
cost of such clothing to the con-
sumer. / selected a high priced
suit for my illustration, because
| believe that our farmers are
entitled to wear as good a suit
of clothes as anyone else. 1t
seems that | shot too high for
friend Redfeld. If it were true,
as he seems to suppose, that
the tariff was only on things
that the people could do with
out, and that the price of those
things which the people need
was not affected by the tariff,
then | would not have a word
to saw against it. But directly
the opposite is the case. Such
things as the ottar of roses and
uncut diam nds, which are the
luxuries of the rich, come in
free. Those things which the
people must have to live upon
are taxed, and their price is
often more than doubled by the
protective tariff.
Another mistake of my friend,
Redfeld, was in sending to Chi
cago to Montgomery, Ward &
Co. for the suit which he
bought. Mr.. Redfield lives in
Ardmore. He makes his living
off of the people of Ardmore.
What would he think if those
persons who take their fire in
surance with him were to send
out of the Territory and get
their insurance elsewherei But,
OF course, if he can get the Ard
more postoffice he will not need
the patronage of the people
here. This being the case, it is
not to be wondered at that. like
Demetrius of old, he is shout
ing, Great is Diana. the god
dess of the Ephesians," )" because
he "fesses up" that he is ex-
pecting great gain thereby.
His reference to John d.
Rockefeller as a democrat. and
his 300 per cent profit upon
kerosene oil, which he makes
by means of a trust. was
double mistake of our friend.
1t is true that Rockefeller used
to call himself a democrat. The
Mormons also call themselves
Christians, yet, who is there
who would accept them as
model followers of Christi This
man Rockefeller. like others of
his stripe, only called himself
democrat to enable him to help
mislead the people. In 1896,

Chicago, Jan. 24.-Wheat-For
some reason, not apparent, our
market shows about the same will
lingness to respond to the strength
across the water as a cat comes
out of an ash hole by the tail. On
strong places there appeared to be
plenty of wheat for sale to satisfy
the limited demand. This indica-
ted very small local interest, we
think. We are satisfied there is a
large outside short interest, and
especially for the July failure. We
are mixed on the situation at pres
ent. Certain it is that the futures
do not appear to respond to the
strength in spot stuff and the
healthiness generally of foreign sit
uation. There is a marked falling
off for the week in Danubian and
Russian shipments, being only
952. 900. Worlds shipments s.
474, 900. A factor of Importance
was the reduction of about 13 cents
per bushel in Italy's grain duty
until April 30. 1t is said this GER
tainly would seem to prove a short
age in supplies in that country.

IMPROVEMENT SOCIETY.

An Important Meeting of the Directors
Held Last Night.
- The regular monthly meeting of the
directors of the Boulder improvement
society was held in the rooms Of the
Boulder National bank last night. The
meeting was largely devoted to dis
cussion of the line of procedure to be
followed by the society for the accom-
plishment of its main purposes
1t was agreed that the best line would be
to increase the membership of the society,
thus securing the cooperation of as large
a number of citizens as is possible.
The purpose of the society is to i'm
prove and beautify the city, by means of
judicious care of its trees, the extension
and improvement of its sidewalks, the
cleaning of the streets and such other
means as are possible of execution by
the members themselves. AS the society
grows and becomes strengthened. the
general scope will also become
broadened and will include improve.
ments of a greater importance. AS the
plan of procedure is to work through the
cooperation of the members the larger
the membership the more successful will
the society become. Hence one of the
principal actions taken last night was
the passing of motion instructing the
directors of each ward to pay especial
attention to the securing of new men,
bers in his ward. A committee was also
appointed to make compilation of
table Of vacant lots in the CITY and their
owners with view to securing their use
during the summer months for the pur
pose of cultivation. The society will
superintend the gardening of the lots,
using the products for the poor. the
theory being that such use of the lots
would be more attractive to the eye and
more productive of good than if they
were lying idle.
1t is the purpose of the society to issue
an instructive leaflet on methods of car
ing for trees, the care of sidewalks ETC.,
and the Rev. w. r. Notman was ap-
pointed last night as edito. of the leafet.
4 As cooperation of all citizens is neces-
lsaYy for the success of the society, it is
earnestly urged that all having the well
fare OF the city at heart, ally themselves
with the movement and assist with their
support
