Dang Dingley Duties.

his name stands for the tariff bill
then pessed-iust as the Wilson bill
or the Mckinley bill honored those
chairman in previous sessions.
The DinRley tariff was designated
san Act to provide revenue for the
government and to encourage the ~
dustries of the United Ststss-"
When tariff is put upon any
article it must be either to raise q
revenue from 1t or TO encourage its
production in the United States by
excluding competition toom abrosd.
Manufactures dsmand this tariff,
but farmers see no need of If, altho'
they are equally protected by the
Dingley bill.
In order to keep foreign cattle out
of our markets. the tariff protects the
home animal by $3.75 each-if not
value over $14
Swine are excluded by $3.50 head !;
and while the republican party Rlor-
les in ''rootere," such as Lord Sails
oury, it wants no hog but Hanna to
tear up the American earth.
Horses aud mules are shut out of
the local crib by tariff of $50 head.
This tariff is 50 protective to the great
western ranges that horse breeders
are encouraged to sell horses at from
So to SIS a head, breaking our local
dealers at that price.
The farmers grains are amply en-
coursged to grow by Dingley barley,
Soc; buckwheat, 15c; corn, 15c; oats,
15c; rye, loo; wheat, 25e; onions, 400;
potatoes, 25,; apples, 25o; peaches,
plums, cherries and ounces are the
same.
OF what use are all such tariffss
None whatever except to permit the
speIlbinder to point to his mo. De-
fender" q campaign book, and show
how republicans induced prosperity
TO the hayseeds and pumpkin husk-
ers of this prosperous land by protec-
ton from the pauper labor of Europe
[GreaS applause
IF there any one thing beyond an-
other that the Kansas farmer fears
it is importation of straw.
But the republican party stands
between bum and that danger by inn
posing duty of ST. SO ton on straw.
Therefore he need not fear the man
ufscture of straw men from the for
eign product The home industry
in that commodity is bountiful
enough, and of such are our legisla-
ture, congress and the White House.
Another disaster is threatening the
sturdy American farmer. and that is
importation of fresh milk from for
eIgn lands.
Think of the disaster to the teats of
American COWS If the psuper COWS of
Europa or the lean kline of Pharaoh
and India equ;rted their tactical fluid
across desert sands and wastes of
seas to psralyze the infant industry of
this Graded continent:
But the Dingley tariff makes whey
of that impending industry by impos-
ing duty of two cents a gallon on
fresh milk.
In order to encourage the industry
of ths United States to make hay
while the sun shines, tariff of 81
ton is imposed on hay.
Thus are reserved to the home mar.
ket strawmsn for president, and the
other sort for secretary of state.
Dingley put a tariff of 5 cents a
dozen on eggs.
Otherwise the American hen, now
enjoy ing shorter hours of labor aud a
full dinner pail, would be compelled
to compete with the pauper hens of
Europe, thereby in time becoming
chicken hearted aud destitute of sand
10 it's crsw. With this protective
tariff 1t may perch, high, eat three
meals day, send its brood to school
csckle at the Wilson bill, moult It's
feathers for Sundays and spend it's
evenings at home with happy fam
lily.
Nothing shows to better advantage
the conservative influence of the re-
publican party than it's idea OF what
ought TO enter the American ports
free of duty.
