fl. II. HAGAN, one of tbe best
known Democratic politicians In
Oklahoma, aud the man who the
politicians say Was to have been gov
ernor of Oklahoma had Mr.. Bryan
been elected, declares that free silver
is dead. Mr.. Hagan stumped Okla
homa and Missouri for Bryan, and
when the famous Nebraskan visited
Guthrie, Oklahoma, he was entertain
ed by Mr.. Hagan at his bone. A
few DAYS ago Mr.. Hagan said: "Bryan
will unquestionably he the candidate
again, but he will be defeated if free
silver is made the issue. l took an
antive part in the 1896 campaign and
told my wheat story to farmers, but
prosperity has dealt a death blow to
the theories I advocated. If 1 were
to repeat my 1896 speech to-day l
would be laughed at" Mr.. Hagan
states the case in a nutshell. Facts
have knocked out the free silver
theory; facts have knocked out the
free trade theory. Facts and Repub-
licanism will knock out any combina-
tion that can be brewed in 1900.

THE press. both metropolitan and
country, uses cyclone instead of tor
nadO. The "twister" which tears
things to tatters, as at Kirksville a
few weeks ago, is q tornado. A cv-
clone is also a circular storm. but it
covers a wide area, hundreds or even
thousands of miles in extent. The
path of tornado is always narrow,
often but few yeards or a few rods
in width, but within this path the de-
struction is terrific. The s'funncl-
shaped" cloud is the "trade-mark" of
the tornado. The writer's on the city
press ought to set their country
brothers better example in the use
of language, but if it is inconvenicnt
they needn't mind we can remember
that shey mean tornado when they
talk of cyclones.

How to kill q Town.

just let your subscription go. It's
only q small sum-the Publisher
doesn't need it. If he asks YOU for it
get as hopping mad as you can and
tell him to stop the paper-you never
read it anyhow. Go home and bor-
row your neighbours. When the adj
vertising or job man comes tell him
you dOn't need to advertise-every-
body knows You; that you will try to
get along without printed stationery
its too expensive; that business is
slack and you must economize. Never
drop in to see the editor unless YOU
want complimentary notice or a
lengthy obituary for a beloved rela-
tive. Mover recommend the paper
to anybody. When you speak of IT,,
say: eyes, we have little sheet, but
j: don't amount to much" Keep it
up year or two and you will have
a dead newspaper, a dead set of mer-
chants and dead town.-Ex.

SENAToR MASON, of the pure food
commission, complains that while
conducting investigations alone in
Chicago, he was badgered, brow
beaten, offered bribes and threatened
with political destruction by manu-
fscturers OF adulterated foods.
"Whom the gods would destroy they
first make mad" 1t is enough to be
fed Oh cheap and nasty food without
suffering insolence from the makers
of the stuff. The adulterated food
people may rest assured that con-
gress will pass stringent measure
governing the manufacture and sale
of food products, and it will be all
the more carefully drawn because of
their attempt to bulldoze the Ameri-
can people in the person of a men,

D. D, Henderson,

COLONEL D. D. Henderson, OF
Iowa, next speaker of the house OF
representatives at Washington.
There will probably be no other
name before the caucus. The Colo
mel is not only universally recognized
as a man especially well qualified for
the place by natural ability and ripe
experience, but he has q following OF
personal friends in the house almost
as large as the roll Of membership,
aud a solid state delegation behind
him second in influence to that Of no
other state. His fitness was SO uni
versally recognized that, although a
distinctively western man. the sec
tionally issue was not raised against
him. He has made no pledges, will
be in harmony with the administra-
ton, not of q state or section, but
of the house as whole, with no enc
mics to punish, no schemes to ad-
vance and no pledges handicap him
in any emergency that may arise.
Iowa is honored, the west is graft
fed, and the nation will be served in
his selection.

Last week we called your attention
to the fact that q mistake was being
made by people in this town, regard
Ing the treatment of strangers that
come here to locate. 1t is not policy,
neither is it manhood for one person
to meddle or interfere with another's
affairs so long as it is not necessary
to do so. We are here in the interest
of Taney county, but particularly of
Forsyth. II you are determined to
make yourself detrimental to the
county and town, keep right on do
ing what YOU are. Establish your
selves on .factional lines, fan little
jealeusies into flames, work for your
personal gain alone and you will
soon accomplish your desires. One
or two men can do more at tearing
down a town or community than q
dozen can build. We now urge you
to become more interested in the
general welfare of the community.
We need your assistance In building
up the town and county.

tions Of the failure of the Cars con

opposed to any arbitration agree

TARIFF AND WAGES.

| HE pIeScuC tdTlu, ike al It's pre-

working out beneticient results t.
that portion of our people " no worI
for wages. When q mau is receiving
more money for given amount o.
labor he knows for a certainty thai
he is being benefited, and that is just
the thing that has come to pass in The
case of multiplied thousands OF
American workiugmen. Here are
some ofthe instances of increase in
wages which have come under cur
notice:
Feb. 9, the American Steel & Wire
Co. announced an advance of 5 to 1O
per cent. to $4,000 employees.
Feb. % the Reading Iron Co. grant
ed All advance to 2OOO employees.
Gu the same date as the above the
Lackawauna Iron and Steel Go. in-
creased the wages of furnace men 10
per cent.
Feb. 81 the Dcssemer Furnace AS
sOciation gave a 10 per Cent advance
to 1000 men in its blast furnaces.
This advance took effect March /, and
was followed by a second advance of
10 per Cent. Oh May l.
March the Illinois Steel Co. ad-
vanced the wages Of 1900 men from
5 to 8 per cent.
March 2 the Wasl burn Moen Wire
Works advanced wages from 5 to 10
per cent.
The same date the Pennsylvania
Steel Co-gave a similar advance to
5000 men.
The same date the men at the
Sharon and Sharpsville (Pa.) furnaces
received a like advance.
March the Lebanon Rolling Mills
Co. declared ten per cent. advance
in wages.
The Pennsylvania Bolt and Nut
Works did likewise on the same date.
The American Tin Plate Go. al
lowed an advance of 10 per cent. un
the same date.
March IS the Riverside Iron and
Steel Co. made an advance of 10 per
cent. to 5000 workingmen.
March "a the iron manufacturers Of
Ohio, agreed to 10
per cent. advance in the wages of
1 200 men.
On the same date the Jones s.
Laughli Steel Co., of Pittsburgh, Pa,
made a ten per cent. in wages affect
ing 5000 men.
April 3 the tin plate workers of
the Ohio valley we're given an adj
vance Of 10 per cent.
The sam, date the National Steel
Co. made an advance of 10 per cent.
70 1000 workmcn.
April Is 5000 men in the machine
shops of the Reading railroad re-
ceived all increase of 5 to 10 per
cent.
May the Reading Iron Co. ad-
vanced wages from to 10 per cent.
On the same date the Ellis & Les
sig Iron s. Steel Co. and the Brook
Iron Co. gave their workingmen
second advance of 16 per cent.
The above list contains only the
more notable increases in one line of
industry. Employees in the cotton
mills, in the woollen mills, in the
stone cutting industries, in the car
pentry aud woodworking industries,
in fact, in every avenue of labor,
have moro work, or better wages, or
both, than during the non-prOtective /
period just preceding the Dingiey |
Tariff. The condition Is but a repe- !,
Iition of the history of all protective |
Iariffs in this country, and the lesson |
IN it is too recent, too practical and
TOO vivid to be soon forgotten. |
