Dewitt T. Howison and Miss
Viola Tullett were united in mar
riage by Reverend Corrie at the
Queen City hotel Sunday, May, 81,
at a. M, a few intimate friends
witnessing the ceremony. After the
ceremony they drove to the c. w.

days as the guests of Foreman Hazel
and wife. Afterwards they went to
their future home at the M. Howison
farm south of Haviland, where at
any and all times their friends will
be welcome.
Mr.. Howison needs no introduction
as nearly everyone in the county is
well acquainted with him. He is a
prosperous young farmer and is one
of the most industrious young men
in the county.
Mrs. Howison has lived here but
two years and has a host of friends.
As school teacher in this county

The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1903-05-01

the sugar beet and that, in time,
we may become exporters of sugar
instead of heavy importers, sugar is
now one of the commodities that de-
mands ample protection instead of
being made an article of barter in
the line of tariff. Especially until
our sugar factories are well estab-
lished and the farmers are thorough
ly trained in the production of the
beet.
AS the years roll around we will
doubtless find that this broad land
of ours will produce other things
that we now consider it necessary
to import. Our manufacturing and
industrial interests as we'll as agri.
cultural, are now riding on the high
waye of prosperity, and everybody
is busy and prosperous, then why
should we hazard our phenomenal
prosperity by chasing after the rain
bow of reciprocity and talking tariff
tinkering when there is no possibil-
ity of any gain thereby but grave
danger of serious harm. The mere
talk of tariff revision, when there is
the remotest chance of its being put
into effect, startles the commercial
world and all lines of manufactur-
ing industries are checked and la
Dor suffers. The Democratic party
is somewhat excusable for sounding
the crying needs of tariff reform, for
they won victory recently on that
cry, but these cranky Republicans
who are bowling tariff revision main
ly to attract personal attention,
without realizing or caring for the
immense amount of damage that the
country would suffer could their
theories be adopted, should be boot
ed into the Democratic party at
once, where they belong, where they
will be incapable of doing any harm
or furnishing any political thunder
for the opposition.
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1903-05-01
As to Reciprocity.

Senator Allison never said truer
thing than when he said reciprocity
is impracticable. Under present
conditions it is impracticable. When
we had reciprocity under the Nc
Kinley law we had something to
trade on. We could let sugar in
from the Southern countries free, in
exchange for the free admission of
-four into the Southern countries,
but within the past ten years Amer
lea has become a great producer of
sugar, hence the duty must be re-
tanned on sugar. RECIPROCITY in
competitive products" is only anoth-
er way of making a horizonalreduc-
ton in general tariff duties. "Rec-
iprocity in competitive products"
has but one purpose, and that is to
decrease certain duties to encourage
importations. Reciprocity as gen.
orally considered is a fraud and a
deception. 1t stands in relation to
the protective tariff as "bimetallism"
formerly stood in relation to the
gold standard. In 1896 there were
a select few who would not admit
that thew were free silver men nor
would they call themselves gold
standard men. They said, We are
bimetallist," which usually meant
that they had not the sand to be
either for free silver or the gold
standard. Now men are saying,
We are Protectionists, but reeiproe-
ity is the stuff, and we want reci-

ocratic party may we'll deal with the few sched-
ules In which, through practical monopoly,
vast fortunes have been made by taxation upon
the masses Of the people.
These Democratic doctrinaires
disagree. Mr.. Hill is for an i'm
mediate revision of the Tariff, regard
less of its disturbing effect upon
business. Mr.Shepard would tinker
the Tariff cautiously, striving not to
alarm business or excite the resent
ment of labor, but striking at few
Protected manufacturers whose en-
terprise land energy have proved
profitable.
In contrast to this, the Republi-
can position is that the trainers of
the present Tariff may be trusted to
change schedules when the need or
justice of change shall be demons
trated, holding fast to the theory OF
Protection which in practice has
produced our marvellous industrial
prosperity. The intelligent voter,
be he wage Garner or capitalist, will
not hesitate in his choice between
those policies.-New York email

The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1903-05-01

In spite of somber prophecies the
foreign trade of the United States
continues to grow, a regular boom
having been experienced since the
first of the year, which dissipates
the doubts occasioned by last years
falling off. The exports during Feb
ruary were far greater than those OF
any previous February in our nation
al history and the imports were also
unusually large. AS yet there Is no
