A SUMMING UP.

Again we appeal to all voters
Democrats and Republicans alike
the whole people, to say whether
any political party has, at any 9TH
er time, ever placed before them
for their suffrage better ticket
one composed of better men than
these. Has the county ever had a
better clerk than Col. John Smith ?
Was more competent man ever
nominated in the county for Clerk
of the Circuit Court, than Hon.
Virgil A. Lewis? When, if ever,
did political party ever nominate
a man better fitted for the respon-
sibIe position of County Commits
sioner than Mr.. W. A. Rifle?
Have better and more honorable
men than Mr.. j. A. Dunn and Mr..
O. K Blackwood ever been pre-
sented for the suffrage of the peo-
pie of Mason county? Was a
wiser choice ever made by a con-
vention of any party in the county
than that of Prof. E. O. Roush for
the Office of Superintendent of
SchoolsP We submit the ticket
the whole of it-for the careful
consideration of all the voters of
the county and shall cheerfully
abide their decision at the polls.
What say you. Gentlemen Can
any mistake be made by elect1ng
every man on ftp Every one is a
man of enterprising character.

The newspapers announce that
10000 tons of Welsh coal are on

the monopoly is to let in foreign

Welsh coal will go long way to.
ward doing this in the coal monop-
oily, and would entirely solve it
could we import that coal in suffi.
cient quantities to meet the de-
mand. Lack of competition is
monopoly. Any law that prevents
competition is monopoly. The
primary object of the Republican
protective tariff is to shut out for.
eign competition. These are facts.
Let every man who votes in No.

AS a man develops the power to
truly see and hear and communi.
cate he is invariably finding the
the things of life, not death-oi
love, not anger; and this is to say
that when the full power to receive
is used, man finds only God, love
and fatherhood helping him into
the fulness of sonship. Not only
must man reach up to God, but
God reaches toward man; the infin-
lite and the finite share in the pro-
cess of human uplift, and this
raises the certainty of ultimate
triumph above cavil and debate.

What would the removal of the
tariff from Trust-made goods do for

Err THE PRICES OF THESE
GOODS. How would it do thisf
Well, the object of the protective
tariff is to keep out foreign COM
petition, lest it undersell our own
manufacturers. If, as the Repub.
Iicans claim, the foreign manufac-
turers could undersell our manu-
facturers, but for the tariff, is il
not evident that the removal of the
tariff would mean cheaper goods
to the consumer Aud is not the
unjust and arbitrary prices the mo.
nopolies of this country see fit tc
fix the evil which comes home to
every consumer?
The kernel of the truth of the
whole matter is this: THE RE,
MOVAL OF THE TARIFF
FROM TRUST-MADE GOODS
WOULD FORCE THE TRUSTS
WHICH MAKE THEM TIC
SELL THEM AT THE SAME
PRICES THEY SELL THEM

SUMER, for that is price lower

"Robbing Peter to pay Paul" is

"Robbing Peter to pay Paul" is
an operation that may satisfy the
debt owing to Paul, but it can only
be done at the unjust expense of
Peter. So it is with a protective
tariff. 1t was designed to enable
the American manufacturer to
charge higher prices for his pro.
ducts than he could otherwise have
charged, but any law which enables
him to do SO. necessarily forces the
consumer to pay higher prices than
he otherwise would have to pay.

AT WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON. oct. THE sun
shine which usnered in the opening OF
the @. A. Il. encampment yesterday
was succeeded today by cloudy wealth
err. But the change had no effect on
the spirits Of the vast crowds which
early swarped into the banner-decked
streets and hurried to Pennsylvania
avenue to take their places for the big
naval parade which was to be the chiet
event of the morning. 1t was estimated
that over 100000 visitors We're in the
city.
The parade was under the command
Of General Haywood, commandant OF
the marine corps, as marshal OF the
day. and consisted of all the regular
troops located in and about Washing
ton, marines and jackies from the war
ships, the District of Columbia National
Guard, the Spanish war veterans, Sons
of Veterans, High School cadets ana
the Association of ex-Prisoners OF
War, acting as escorts for the naval
veterans. The column started at ~
o'clock and marched through the dense
ly packed streets to the accompanl-
ment OF almost continuous cheers to
the reviewing stand opposite the White
House, where the escorting bodies halt
ed and formed to review the Naval
veterans who filed past and disbanded
near the State, War and Navy build
ings.
About forty-five naval veterans as
sociations participated. Among them
were the Farragut Naval Association,
Vallejo, California; Commodore Hop

SUGAR NOW
LOOKING Up
Feeling at Coast
as to Higher
Prices.

THE general feeling as to sugar Is
that there will be very soon, some men
think within the coming month, a sharp
recovery as to price" Manager Fair
child, of the Makee Sugar Company, who
has Just returned from San Francisco,
thus explained the cause for the advance
in island securities at the coast, He
went on: 1.-THE forecast of Professor
LIGHT is taken to mean that the short
age will be even greater than 100000
tons for the coming campaign. 1t has
been put as high as two millions, and
as there will probably be heavy buying
in expectation of the shortage, the new
sugars will reap the benefit of the con-
ditions.
1T is the belief of those who follow
the market that the price will reach or
pass four cents very soon. This feeling
has made things brighter for all island
business on the coast, and there is a
general feeling that all values will ad-
vance. The condition OF general busi-
ness in California is good. There is
deal Of building and there would be not
a cloud II it was not for the labor
outlook. The mechanics are developing
q tendancy to make trouble for the con-
often when they have taken contracts,
and as a result some Of the men who
did much work in the past are now de-
clining to bid on new contracts. One
man told me that he could not take a
Job for he could not tell at what mo-
ment his workmen would strike, and
thus leave him without any chance to
fulfill his contract"
Uat Of unnakaa n
other of the sugar men who returned
on the Alameda, after several months
absence, during which time he visited
his former home abroad. He said thai
the feeling was better in San Francisco
and the trend OF the market for island
securities was up. The men who have
to do with sugar, he said, were con
fident that the price would soon pas!
four cents, and that there would be {
shortage Of something like two mill
ions of tons in the European beet out
put.
The Financial Letter Of San Francis
co says:
Prof. LIGHT Of Magdeburg, the well
known authority on European suga
statistics, has published the prelimi
nary figures OF his estimates OF thi
years European output as 100000 t
5000, 900 tons, against 100000 tons 10
1901. A very heavy decrease, which ]
accounted for by II per cent less acre
age than the previous year, and unfa
vorable weather for the crop during tn
latter part OF the season. Against thl
favorable news the total stock of suga
n all the principal countries on Sept.
1902, was about 100000 tons. again'

DANGER OF OTHER
TUMBLES IN VENICE

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-Discussing
Signor Boni's work in connection with
the reconstruction of monuments In
Venice, a dispatch to the Times from
that city by way Of London says the
Church Of st. Mark, the Doge's palace,
the Procuratie Vecchie, the Zecca, and
the Churches Of Santa Maria Gloriosa,
Del Frari and st. Giovannio Paolo need
prompt attention il catastrophes are to
be averted.
In St. Marks there is crack in the
great arch of the Apocalypse, and the
arch says downward almost a foot. II
is expected that it will be necessary to
remove all the mosaics of the arch, and
that the brick wall behind them Will
have to be more solidly constructed IN
the Doge's palace diagonal LESSONS are
visible, and it looks as though the brick
work We're tumbling outward. The cor
respondent says that this is not surpris-
ing, seeing that one of the chief inter-
nal walls was cut through in order to
make room for an elevator for the
heavier books in the Biblioteca Marcel
ana.
In the Procuratie Necchie there are
serious cracks, caused probably by the
whole demolition of internal walls ano
the stacking OF heavy goods in the
rooms above the colonnade.
The correspondent comments on th'
folly of the civil engineering corps
which is preparing to remove the Bibli
otoca Ma-ciana to the Zecca. The lat
ter building Is already in rickety con
dition from top to bottom. The engi
neers intend to roof in the RENAISSANCE
court yard so as to make a readini
room out OF 1t.
The correspondent says it is proba
BILE that the place will tumble in be

the land has sunk at the rate OF apol
