RECLAIMING ASSOCIATION.
A. III. Noah, of the Diamond Rubber

at meeting of the representatives of
the leading rubber companies, recently
held in New York. At this meeting 1t
was decided to form Rubber Reclaim
ers' Association.
The condition Of the market for old
rubber shoes for the last year
and half, has been so bad
and prices have been so much
inflated, that while the rubber manu-
facturers have borne the burden in ST.
lence, yet there has been maturing in
the minds of them, each one for him
self, some plan for Improvement They
have had in contemplation the abuses
of speculation; of sending quantities of
trash in shipments and calling it "old
rubbers;" of piling on bagging, as tare,
until some shipments were so carefully
wrapped up that they contained 10 to
Is per cent. Of old saclSing; of demand

facturers, IN some cases for 30 per

A Contrast In Stump Speakers.

At Newburg, N. Y, Monday, to

him with cry of 'Down with the

and much more in the same abusive
vein. At Sewall, w. Va, as Mr..
Bryan's train was pulling out man
in the crowd shouted a question at
him as to why he favored the ratif-
cation of the Spanish peace treaty.
But Mr.. Bryan did not call him a
"hoodlum". He had the train stop
ped and gave the questioner full
and courteous answer. This con-
trast in a measure needs no COM
ment.

A Republican canard Refuted.
EAST SIDER.

It appears that Chester I. Long
has been misrepresenting Claude
Duval to Catholic priest at
Wichita by accusing him of be-
ing a member of the A. P. A. S.
The following is Mr.. Duval's re-
ply to Mr.. Geo. Z. Pitts, Chair
man of the Congressional Com
mittee, which explains itself:
Mcpherson, Kas., Oct. IS, 1900.
Hon. Geo. T. Pitts, Wellington, Kas.
My Dear Sir: In reply to your letter of
the 24th inst. asking if am or ever have
been a member af the A. P. A. as told by
the Hon. Chester 1. Long to a prominent
Catholic minister of this district, beg to say
that never have at any time, am l now,
either in spirit or in fact been a member of
the A. P. AS / am one of those who be-
lieve that every individual should have the
privilege and right, be they Catholic or Prot
estent, to worship their God at the dictates of
their own conscience. 1t is true that | am a
Protestant, member of the Presbyterian
church and am an active worker in the Sun
day school, but have never referred to this
fact in the campaign, either privately or pub
licly, because believe that the great work of
all Christian organizations in their various de-
partments is for the purpose of elevating the
morals and general character of the people,
both old and young, up to the highest plane
of good citizenship, and that such work should
be wholly and entirely separate from politics
for the purpose of advancing the welfare of
our country to the end that our municipal,
county, state and national governments may
be conducted with honor and Justice to all
people, with special privileges to none and
equal opportunities to all.
am surprised that Mr.. Long should SO far
forget these great principles of justice as to
personally, himself, msrepresent me to one
of the great Christian organizations of our
country.
Again answering you that this statement to
the Catholic minister is absolutely false, re-
main very truly, CLAUDE DUvAL.

The ~rhrifty Citizens" Interest.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
A red-hot organ of McKinleyism
asks, "What are trusts and militar-
ism and imperialism to any thrifty
citizen of New York;" And its
answer is, ga painted devil and a
mares nest"
The trusts have made it impossi-
BILE for the '.thrifty citizen" to en-
gage in any one of hundred kinds
of business that used to be open to
everybody. They mercilessly close
works and factories and throw
thrifty citizens out of employment.
They arbitrarily fix the prices If
hundreds of, articles which mer-
chants are permitted to sell only by
their grace, and they forbid the
thrifty citizen from selling any ar
ticle which they do not control, I'M
der penalty of prescription and ruin
to his business. They make the
thrifty citizen who is consumer
pay higher prices for their products
than they are sold for in foreign
markets. And they corrupt politics
and pervert to their own selfish ends
the Government which the thrifty
citizen pays to support.
The victims of trusts-who IN
clude nearly the whole people-will
be interested in learning, on the
eve of election, that in the view of a
Mckinley organ these monopolies
are merely a painted Pigment of the
Imagination.
What militarism and Imperialism
do to thrifty citizens is equally plain.
1t is they who have supplied the
5,3z1 soldiers sacrificed in the war
in the Philippines. Has any jingo
politician or commercial statesman
or money-seeking "expansionist"
lost his life in the attempt to reap
glory and extend trade in the East?
No.! The victims of this wretched
war of criminal aggression have all
been brave regular soldiers or
thrifty citizens" who volunteered.
Imperialism everywhere and always
plays with the lives of the common
people as pawns.
We're tic 81 cOrpSes, the 467
sick soldiers, tile SO c0RDdleScentS
and the I2 insane Wh0 arrived at
San Francisco on the latest hanS-
port from Manila, and tile "9,O00
physical wreckS lett behind" mere
ly the DictimS of q "mare'S ReSt%'
But it is not lives and health alone
that are sacrificed in Mr.. McKin-
ley's policy of militarism and i'm
perialism. The ''thrifty citizens"
are called upon to pay the expenses
of his war. This has already
amounted to $500, 900, 900 and is
now costing $4,000, 900 week.
When the jingo statesmen at Wash
ington voted war taxes did they lay
them on incomes or on wealth in
any form, as their imperialist
brothers in England did to sustain
their war against freedom in South
Africa? Not at all! Nine-tenths of
our national taxes are collected from
consumption-the most of it from
the common necessaries of life.
AS our imperial plutocrats pro-
tected their persons from the perils
of war, SO they guarded their peck
cts from the levies of the tax-gather-
er to support that war.
If the imperialists had been COM
PEELED to fight their own war and
the trade expansionists obliged to
pay the bills, the trouble in the
Philippines would never have hap
pened.

The Globe says eve want our
county warrants at par" So do we,
but everyone in this county, with
the brains of an oyster, knows why
they are not at par. Why, did you
ask? Because the money that was
collected as taxes was not legitimate
ly appropriated. There is at this
time between S., 900 and SO, 900 in
county warrants outstanding. The
amount of shortage found to exist in
the county treasurer's office was
nearly 81, 900. The expert exami-
nation to find the shortage cost over
81, 900. The sum of these will more
than balance the amount of out
standing warrants, thus leaving them
at par, provided all the money col
lected had been left in the treasury,
where it would have been had the
clerk and treasurer complied with
their duties. Now, we don't want
to hear any more of this kind oil
silly clap-trap from Fuhr as he
knows it as well as we do, but is
only prevented from publishing the
facts by his love for Wiley coupled
with his well known reputation for
hypocrisy and inconsistency.
