j.. q. A. ON Reformers

So much is now being said in con-
nection with the centennial Of Cobden's
birth Of reform that II is profitable to
refer to John Quincy Adams views Of
reform as written to a reformer Of
nearly seventy years ago:
"You have pursued reform for its
own sake, without making it a trade
OF profit or honor to yourself. Such
reformers have small chance of sue
cess. Reform must have Its martyrs
before it has Its cardinals and Its
princes. With most men reform Is a
trade, with some a swindling trade,
with others ar honest but yet a lucra-
tive trade. Reform for Its W sake
seldom ~thrives."

TARIFF TlNkERiNG.
Experience Proves Emphsticaily II
Does Not Pay.


Doe Not Pay.
1t is especially illogical 10 attribute
the present condition Of the cotton
manufacturing industry TO the tariff
when every manufacturer and textile
worker knows that under the present
tariff system the textile industries OF
the United States have enjoyed a long
extended period Of unrivaled prosper
ity.
The cotton industry Is suffering from
conditions which are In nowise con-
nected with the tariff. The mills OF
Lancashire, England, are suffering In
the same way, proof enough that the
tariff has nothing whatever to do with
the matter.
The scarcity and consequently high
price Of raw cotton is said to be the
cause Of the general curtailment in
cotton manufacturing.
Such conditions cannot be legislated
away. They can only be removed by
the increasing Of the cotton acreage
and the growing Of larger crops.
This is the opinion of men who have
made a study Of the matter, and no
amount Of sophistry by little politi-
clans can affect the opinions Of those
who are familiar with the situation.
If things are bad just as present,
how much worse would they be did
the manufacturers have to combat not
only high prices in raw material, but
foreign cheap labor competition as
well. The well remembered experience
Of Lawrence and other textile centers
under the Wilson-G German tariff from
1898 TO 1897 is not so remote that its
lessons have been forgotten by even
the most thoughtless.
Emphatically tariff tinkering does not
pay.-Lawrence (Mass.) Telegram.

Mysterious Letter Reveals Where

"
abouts Of Stolen Ring.
Thus conscience doth make cow
ards of us ALL" This saying of the
immortal bard was strikingly illus.
trated last week by the following let,
ter received by Father Vermaat:
Billings, Mont, Aug. 81, 1904-Dear
Father: Find ring under sidewalk
between church and house lei side
church gate. Had II two years. | am
sick and will soon die. p. X. NJ.
Four years from the day the letter
was received by Father Vermaat a
young lady was sitting at the piano
in Father Vermaat's house and while
playing laid her ring on the piano.
Forgetting she had taken II of she
went rel to the church and while
there she noticed that she did not
have the ring. She remembered dis.
tinctly having put II on the piano,
but no amount of searching could
bring the trinket to light. The search
was finally given up anu nothing more
had been thought OF the occurrence
until the receipt of this letter.
When he received the letter Faith.
er Vermaat could not imagine what
was meant. but he at last remember.
ed the losing of the ring and deter
mined to see If II could be the one
referred to In the letter. With the
help of M of the neighbors he tore
up the sidewalk nea the side gate
but could find nothing and then the
whole walk was taken up, but nc
trace Of the ring could be found. The
%searchers were about to give up the
task in disgust, thinking they had
been the victims OF a joke. when al
the last stroke OF the rake in the
hands OF Father vermaat the missing
ring came into view. II was encrust
ed with dirt and had evidently beer
buried In the ground for some time
The ring was wrapped up just as Il
was found and returned 10 the on,
who lost 1t 80 long ago.

BITTER MEMORIES llNGER.


Never did effect follow cause more
swiftly. surely and ruinously than did
the panic Of 1893 follow the Demo
cratic tariff tinkering. Under the Nc
Kinley tariff law of 1890 the country
had %prospered generally and solidly,
but Mr.. Cleveland and the party that
elected him were not pleased with such
a condition. They wanted to do some
tinkering, and they did 1t with such
success, from their own point Of view.
that the business of the country was
paralyzed, the wheels of industry made
idle and millions of wageworkers de-
prived of employment.
That time Of panic. of stress and suf-
fering has not been forgotten. Bitter
memories Of 1t still linger in the minds
Of the American people. who knew at
the time, as they know today. that the
bond issues of 1S94-96, of which Mr..
Cleveland appears to be so proud, were
only an attempt to repair some Of the
damage wrought by the Democratic

DEMOCRATS SHOW APATHY.
Will be Light Democratic Vote il
Missouri-Stock Conditions.

T.. X. Blair. a banker of Sedalia,
Mo. arrived in Lewistown Thursday
evening on a business trip through
the northwest. Mr.. Blair In talking
of the political outlook in the middle
west said that their seemed to be a
general apathy all through than sec
ton. While Missouri is. and always
has been. hoplessly Democratic, there
does not seen to be the interest in
the coming presidential election that
is usually taken. He attributed this
in a great measure to the Folk cam
paign. There is a large number OF
free silver Democrats and also many
gold Democrats throughout Missouri.
The declaration of Judge Parker
that he was i~rrevocably for the gold
standard has, of course. caused dis
satisfaction among the silver Demo-
Gratis and the fight Folk has been
making in his own party has created
an indifference among many of the
gold Democrats. so the prospects are
that a light vote will be cast in Mis-.
souri, this year. Folk, at the time
be was conducting his investigations
against the boodlers in st. Louis was
carrying on an active campaign for
the nomination as governor of the
state. His adherents were mostly in
the rural districts and many of these,
when they went to the convention and
were not recognized, went back TO
their homes in an Indifferent frame
OF mind over the election. This was
emphasized by the fact that. in order
to get the necessary support In the
race for the gubernatorial honor, he
was compelled to drop many of the
reform schemes which had drawn the
people to him In the first place. The
Democrats expect to carry the state,
but with a far smaller majority than
at the last election.
AS regards the stock conditions Mr..
Blair said that the strike has. of
course, knocked the bottom out of the
market to a great extent, and the high
price Of corn has made II a losing
proposition to feed cattle for market
throughout Missouri, a state which
has heretofore been among the first
In cattle feeding. The reason of this
Is that the corn in that state is now
worth 20 cents a bushel, the high
price being due to the poor crop OF
this year. The first of the season
was too wet and the corn land which
was in the bottoms could not be work.
