The St. Louis Post Dispatch con-
denses its objections to the tariff into
the following paragraph: up to June
OF this year 2sS tarin-fostered trusts
We're formed. to control 3,426 industrial
plants. which were at one time under
the control of different arrangements
in different parts of the country. These
rnOnopolistic combinations were made
possible by high tariffs. which turned
over TO them the local markets, that is
to say. the consumers of the United
States. whom they charged monopolis-
tic prices. Freed from all outside COM
petition by a prohibitive tariff. they
gain the control of home industries and
charge the American people what they
please. Enriched by excessive profits
IN the home market. they give foreign
ers the benefit OF low prices. They thus
concentrate the wealth of the country
in the hands of the few and Cypress
the many by high. artificial prices for
commodities. Admitting that the Post
Dispatch's position is well taken its
suggestion of the election of Parker as
= remedy is open to question. The
country tried a similar plan in 1892. with
bsor results.

Red Tape.

Our first case on the docket to-
day." said Judge Hoke of Sandy Bend,
as he removed his coat and lighted
his pipe and made himself comfort
able, lis that of Jackson VS.. Sawyer.
''Bill Sawyer is known all over
these diggin's as a Teller whose feelin's
are easily hurt, and when hurt he goes
on a rampage. 1 wouldn't like to be
the man to invite crowd up to drink
and leave Bill out.
1.-The plaintiff in the case is Jim
Jackson, editor of the EMornin' Star,
and never heard that he had any
particular feelins about anythin'. All
I know about him is that he issues
the Star whenever he has money
huff to buy the white paper, and when
he hasn't he goes off fishin' We all
felt sorry fur Jim when he begun to
run down hill and be a newspaper
Teller, and though he's cum out in
his paper and slam-banged us over
and over agin we've let it all go and
not done any shootin'.
Last week, for some unexplained
reason, Jim had money huff to bring
out the Star for the first time in
two months, and bein' as he was feel
in gay he gifts up an item to the
effect that the Hon. Bill Sawyer,
meanin' our everyday Bill, jest as
you see him, and Lizzie, the nalf-
breed, who is sixty years old and as
homely as a wolf, was goin' to be
linked in the holy bonds of matri-
mony.

GLOBE SIGHTS.

IFrom the Atchison Globe.1
No one seems to have enough hair
to look good when it is soaking wet
The mirror-like plate glass in front
of business houses gives the fashion,
she is still intact.
There is entirely too much time
taken up every day trying to help
those make up their minds who don
know what they want.
1t is hoped that one of these days a
certain Atchison man will be so driven
by hunger that he will eat his whis-
kers for breakfast food.
When a little boy accompanies his
mother calling he is ready to go as
soon as he has found what is con-
cealed behind the parlor screen.
A watermelon, made tepid hot by
the sun, is not good stolen from a
patch and it is only the glamour of
boyhood that makes it seem so.
When a man takes off his hat to a
woman, he doesn't recognize that she
is a princess unless he takes it off low
enough for her to drop penny in.
We have noticed that the agitation
in the family extends to the entire
lneighborhood when the dressmaker in
the house is engaged to sew for
Mother.
This is the way a woman repeats a
funny story: go, I heard the funniest
story the other day. 1t was about
something. I can't recall what, and
can't remember it well enough to tell
it. But it was so funny
