The Indictment OF Senator Diet
rich, Of Nebraska, on charges OF
bribery in connection with the Hast
ings p~ostotfice, is creating quite a
sensation IN that state. The whole
business seems to result from the SEN

senator. Dictricb's friends are try

Telling Time by the Porch.

The oldest system by which men
have told the time of day is sundiaIs.
There are sundiaIs still in existence
since long before the Christian era. In
fact, they have been found in Egypt
dating before the pharaohs. The In
dams and wild nations told the time
by the position of the shadows OF
trees or mountains. The Chinese have
carried the art OF sundials to perfec-
ton and Ten today use pocket sun
dials instead of watches. One Chinese
matchmaker has arranged his front

Immigration Movement.

There is surely no country on earth
in which the internal migra tory move
ment of the population exceeds that
farming population. in particular. re-
tains the old-time fiuidity. Not only
is this ''move on tendency now being
exhibited by the so-called rush of
northwestern farmers in the Canadian
wheat belt: the same tendency is be-
ing shown in movement toward Lou
isiana and Texas. The great railroad
systems of the Mississippi valley have
engaged in n systematic effort the
past few years to induce a settlement
of rich but vacant lands i'm the gulf
region by northerners, and there is
evidence that they are meeting with
notes the fact that 40 German fami-
lies from Michigan have taken up n
6 6.O0O-acre tract on the Teche river in
Louisiana.
Another item from an entirely diff
ferent source states that an agricul-
tural colony of French Canadians is
to be established near SuInmerville, IN
South Carolina. Movements of this
chara cter deserve encouragement. The
south is not half developed. Much of
it is the richest agricultural region in
the country. and the right sort of
Woodworking farmers could make
much of the natural resources still
awaiting proper cultivation. This is
also true of the rich praiTies of the

From smithy to Congress.

Representative Tawney, of Mime
sofa, has a remarkable record. He is
the son of blacksmith, the grand
son of a blacksmith, and is a black
smith himself, having spent seven
years, after he was Is years old, in
his fathers shop, near Gettysburg,
Pa. He saved his earnings, and when
he thought he had enough to pay his
fare to the west he walked through
Pennsylvania to the Ohio river. took
steamer down to Cairo. changed for
Mississippi river boat and kept on
going northward as far as his money
would pay his passage. When the
boat reached Winona he had just 25
cents left, and paid that to an ex-
Pressman to haul him and his trunk
from the river landing to boarding
house uptown. Two hours later he
started out TO look for job and ap-
piled for work at the first black
smiths shop he found. The boss hir-
ed him offhand; he remained in the
shop four years, and in the meantime
studied law evenings with a man
whose acquaintance he had made.
\ year and a half later he went to
Ma dis on. Wis. and took a year of law
lectures at the university, his first
schooling since he was IA years old.
He went back to Winona, was admit
ted to the bar, commenced practice,
took up politics, and is now about to
enter upon his 18th year in congress.

A TARIFF LESSON.
An illustration Which Plainly Shows
Up q Piece of Robbery.

An illustration which Plainly Shows
Up q Piece of Robbery.
The tariff question is astsimple as 1t
is important. Strange tofsay, the peo-
pie do not underestimate. lin fact, very
few realize that they pay tariff taxes
at all. If they could see the tariff tax
as they see their prOpertYOr poll taxes
they would never againtvote for high
tariffs and high prices.
When you go to the Istore to buy
goods you pay so much'for the goods
them. When you buy aspound of sugar
you pay,3 cents for the sugar and 3
cents fOrtthe tax on it. If you buy q
pound ofiborax you pay cents for
the boraxland 6icents for the tax. If
you buy aAfifteenldollar suit of clothes
you pay $5'tariffitax.
Now, suppose that after you had
bought these goods and started to take
them home two. men should stop you at
the store door land demand of you So
tax on the. suit, 3 cents on each pound
Of sugar. and 6 cents for every pound
of boraxlyOu had bought, what would
you do?
One of the men would wear brass
buttons and would represent the gov
ernment. He would claim about two
thirds of the tax on sugar, One-third of
the tax onthe suit and none of the tax
on borax. The other man would wear
no government uniform, but would
hold tariff club in one hand and a
certificate or license from congress in
the other hand authorizing him TO col
lect certain taxes On certain articles.
He would represent the protected
trusts and would cl61m all OF the tax
on borax, twO-thirdsIof the tax on the
suit and one-third oflthe tax on sugar
AS a law abiding citizen you might
decide to settle with the government
agent, but you most certainly would
deny the right of the trust agent to
collect taxes from you. But both
agents would tell you that this is a
protected" countryIand that you must
settle with both or they would cOnf1s-
cate your goods-that is, they would
take them all from You without COM
pensation.
Now, again, what would you do?
Would you pay these tariff taxes and
20 AlODle lOt anu
for the G. o. p. or would you and your
neighbors organize a sort of Boston
tea party" to put that trust agent out
OF business?
Under our tariff system as it is you
buy your goods and pay your tariff
and trust taxes all at once. 1t is not
necessary for the government and the
trusts to station their agents at every
store door to make the people mad.
The government puts it's agents in its
custom houses around our borders
and collects the taxes on all the goods
brought into the country. The mer
chants who import the goods add
the tariff to the foreign cost, puts on
a profit and sell the goods to you. The
trusts mark up the prices of their
goods to match the prices Of imported
goods and let you take your choice.
They have you at their mercy, for you
are inside of their tariff monopoly wall,
and there is no escape for you except
to knock down the tariff wall. This
you can do only with your vote. Why
not do it2 b. w. 81.
