Quoting from the Iowa platform the
New York Tribune says: "Duties that
are too low should be increased, and
duties that are too high should be re-
duced. II not, why not? Does any
rational being think thatduties which
are too low should be reduced, and
that duties which are too high should
be increased" Come to think of 1t,
no rational being thinks that duties
that are too high should be increased.

Don't Like the Truth.

Some of the gold papers object to
the truth when told about our Gis-
tinguished ex. president. At Urbana,
o., Mr.. Bryan said:
''The democratic party In 1892 play
ed confidence game on the people
and put bunco steerer at the head
of the party and I want to say to you
that the disreputable man who stands
on the street curling and leads the
unwary traveller into game where he
loses his money is respectable COM
pared with the man who accepts the
sutfrages Of {, 100000 people and then
leads them into Wall street to be be-
trayed."
Will any one deny it? Will any one
dispute that Mr.. Cleveland had Sec
ret understanding with a few Wall
street magnates to carry out policy
which he would not have dared to ad-
vocate during the campaign? This
secret understanding enabled his COM
mittee to secure large campaign fund
from the monied institutions and cor
porations, and his purpose was con-
cealed from the voters. Shall we con-
denim the petty nffense of the man
who lures the unsuspectipg into games
in which they lose a small. amount
shall we do this and then condone the
treachery OF those who trifled with
the confidence of tie people who used
the highest Office in the land to re
ward those from whom he had receiv.
favors? II will do no harm to have
Mr.. Cleveland and bis friends know
the feeling of the democratic voters
toward him. ''-Commoner.

Illogical Inference.

President Draper. of the University
of Illinois, said in his baccalaureate
sermon: Ordinary sense is matter
of inheritance and of home life" It
would seem. therefore, says the Chi

people never had ancestors and must
have grown up in institutions.

hood of st. Adams, the strong men of the
city are in danger from this brazen wo-
man in scarlet standing on tip-toe to see
into her teens Away with her! Let the
bloodhounds of the law run her down that
these Josephs may not be forced to part
company with their coats to keep pure.
Let the august tribunal of justice sit in
Soiomonic elaboration upon this friend

posing proof of law the verdict of her
shame Never mind whether this judi
