The Tariff Liar.

How many, many years it takes
before the protective-tariff liar is
found TO be liar; then when he is
found out, he does not care, for he
has gained his end, and the fact
that he has been found Quits of no
use to the folks who have found
him out. For three or four decades
he has been bowling for "protec-
ton" to enable him to employ none
but highly paid, noble, manly
American labor, and to promote
THEM great was his solitude
for their moral and economic vel
fare-from European "pauper la
hor;" and. yet the liar was only
using their "highly paid" labor be-
cause it was cheaper than the "pau-
per" labor, and enabled him to sell
his goods in the "pauper's" own
market, and to sell his goods at ex-
tortionate prices to the "highly
paid" American at home. Then
the liar took care to have tree TRACE
in "pauper labor" whenever he
could use it and train it to be cheap
or than the noble, manly" ETC..
labor of him on whose behalf he
was SO tearfully and tremblingly
solioitous. Thus the liar and hypo-
crite made money both ways
which, of course, was the object of
his lies and hypocrisy. Here are a
couple of proofs:
Large quantities of barb-wires
were exported from New York in
December, 1899, at 1920 per hun
dred, although the home price was
raised at the end of the month from
1888 to $4.13.

Commissioner j. L.. Thorne, of

reporter of the Register asked
him, regarding the report tele-
graphed over the country, that he
had recently signed as a witness to
marriage ceremony at his home,
and that his signature was after
ward found to be affixed to a check
for four hundred dollars, which it
is claimed he had to pay. Mr.
Thorne says there is no truth in the
report whatever, and that there has
not been wedding ceremony in
his home for ten years or more;
aud that he made it rule to never
sign papers pres ented TO him by
strangers. Besides, instead of los
ing money, he was making little
each year,

When the news reached here
that Elk Sheriff Geo. p, Gardner,
was married Sunday evening, Feb
ruary 18th, 1900, TO Miss Sophia
Mees, at her home in Mason City,
but few believed the rumor, but
when Mr.. Gardner arrived in town
yesterday morning, he had to ac-
knowledge the truth, and then his
friends began to shower oongratu-
lations upon him. The groom is
one of our best known and most
popular citizens, having been High
Sheriff of Mason county for term
of four years, and is now engaged
in extensive dock and saw mill
business in this place The bride,
while stranger to our reporter, is
spoken of by those who know her, as
one of the foremost and most
popular young women of Mason

congratulations to the happy cou-
pie, and hopes that,their journey
through life may be a pleasant one.

There are more thing in a mans

That what concerneth every man
is not whether he fail CT succeed,
but that he do his duty, acct riding

There is no man, no woman, SO

Too often we think only of the

Mrs. Anna Brown closed her

Thursday, Feb. 9Th, and the 10th

she will likely spend the coming

is anticipating a big exhibition,
and we hope she will succeed in
her attempt.
The Clifton correspondent want
ed to know of the Five-mile CORES
pondent whether there is really n
place called Hog Slide. There is
no such q place around here. The

of himself, and does not write any

must have originated in the less

Liberty, rwenty-Five Per Cent.

Puerto Rican liberty with % per
cent. off bids fair to meet with it's
Waterloo in the House. Fourteen
Republicans are said to oppose the
Ways and Means Committee bill.
OF course Democrats will vote sol
idly against it; otherwise they
would not be Democrats. The
Puerto Ricans are American citi-
zens, and an undesirable class of
American citizens, perhaps, but
American citizens as certainly as
there is such thing as an American
republic. There is no reason why
they should be Disseminated
against.

When the wise merchant has
stocked his store he does not take
it for granted that he will hereafter
have nothing to do but sell and re-
stock. On the contrary, he knows
he must secure customers; for these
will not como to him unless moved
to do so by compelling induce
ments. Therefore be advertises
what he has for sale what the peo-
pie want to purchase. Then, and
not till then, does profitable selling
begin.
