Ever favorite with Americus play

Haverly's Mastodon MinstreIs last
night but added another to the many
successes already scored by this ex-

the rise of the curtain upon the very
magnificent first part until the final
end of this storm of minstrel merri-
ment- veritable cyclone.

The chairman of the finance commit

brass band for $3.50, partly cash and
partly on a credit.

REVISION MUST COME
TARIFF REFORM DEMANDED RY
WESTERN REPUBLICANS
Plank of the Iowa Platform Has
Found Ready Acceptance-Recip-
roeity, Such as Mckinley Favored,
Is Now the Demand.

That the mass of the people of the
western states irrespective of party
are in favor or tariff revision may be
considered as beyond controversy
The republicans of Iowa have express
ed themselves VITA no uncertain
sound, and what they have said finds
ready acceptance in all the neighbor-
ing states
There is no intention and no desire
to do anything radical with the pres
ent tariff schedules. The protective
feature of the law is not to be inter
fered with or antagonized, but high
duties that have ceased to be protec-
tive merely and have become onerous
and oppressive on the taxpayers
should be removed.
So, too, in regard to the duties
that foster trusts and are for their
sole benefit, these must be reduced
abolished SO thai competition may
be admitted, matter from what
country it may come.
Senator Cullom, of Illinois, who
keeps very closely in touch with the
people and has a clear perception of
public sentiment. recognizes these
facts, and declares that tariff revision
must soon be taken up by congress,
the sooner the better.
Western republicans would impress
their eastern brethren with the earn
estness of their opinions on this sub
ject, and urge on behalf of the west
ern people moderate revision in the
DingIey traiff law
Such a revision in the near future
by the friends of protection will keep
the tariff question out of politics for
years to come, and establish the pro-
tective policy a fnality.
Reciprocity such as President Nc
Kinley favored must also be made a
distinct government policy that our
trade abroad may be widened and ex-
tended If we are to gain access to
foreign markets we must make some
concession to our home markets. We
can not have both entirely to our
selves
These are the principles and opin-
ions that are finding extensive 1odg-
ment in the western mind, and it will
be well if the leaders of the repub-
| lican party both east and west give
| thoughtful heed to them.
A denial of tariff revision by the
| next congress will seriously imperil
! the presidential election of 1904 AS
| has been pointed out before, the peo-
/ pie have rude way of rebuking their
/ unfaithful servants, and a faithless
| congress may again lead to a repeti-
| ton of the election of 1892
