Champ Clark on the Tariff.

The recent declaration Of Champ
Clark that the great overshadowing
issue Of the next national campaign
will be the Tariff question demon
strates the good political Judgment Of
the statesman from Pike. During re-
cent years there has been too much of
the blunderbuss In Democratic plat
forms. Without concentrating upon
any one great vital thing we have
rather tried to provide cure for all
economic ills, great and small. In a
formal manner we have renewed ale
glance to the leading tenents of Dem
ocratic faith without annlying any
particular one Of them to the exigen-
cies of the times.
That the Tariff is the great question
Of the day is realized not only by the
political student, but by the people
themselves. For years 1t has permit
ted the trust magnates, its legitimate
offsprings, to rob the American people
under the lying pretext Of protecting
the laboring man; in the face of this
pretext the magnate has advanced bis
wages only when compelled to and on
the other hand has held him up un-
mercifully in the increased price Of the
Hnecessaries OF life; 1t has enabled him
to shut out almost entirely the pro-
duct Of the so-called pauper laborer Of
Europe, but on the other hand he has
encouraged this pauper laborer TO emf
crate to the United States and thus
complete with our labor on its own
hearthstone.
This, however, crying sham and
hypocrisy that it is, is not the most
.menacing phase of the present situa-
tion. Under the selfish and senseless
policy Of "Sell everything and buy
nothing without regard to whether
we could afford to produce 1t, we have
finally driven Europe to desperation
and as a result, stand face to face to-
day with a world boycott. Germany,
England, China, Canada and other
nations with whom we do an immense
export business have finally tired of
long suffering patience and have con-
cluded to teach US that the game Of
Tariff exclusion is one which two can
play and hence are erecting counter
tariffs against American products.
AS was to be expected, the first great
blow is aimed at American pork and
beef and other surplus products of Ag-
riculture. Never before will these
great interests have been so complete
ly prostrated as when the contempla-
ted European legislation gets down to
business. What ayails it that In the
face OF this deplorable prospect such
political mountebanks as Shaw, Gfos-
venor, and Dalzell talk Of retaliation
will that bring back our foreign
markets? Europe will laugh in their
faces and rightly say, you cannot treat
us more unfairly In the future than In
the past.
The Democratic party owes 1t to the
American people to rescue them
from this long tolerated infamy this
system which terminated back in the
days OF carpet-bagism. 1t owes 1t to
itself to take advantage Of the magni-
6cent party opportunity. The states
man commends the political wisdom
OF the gentleman from Pike.-colum-

Osteopathy is that science which
not only cures diseases, but also pre-
vents diseased conditions from enter
ing the body. This Is done by restor-
ing every part TO It's natural posi-
tIon and function. When every part
Is receiving its blood and nerve sup
ply, health follows. When there is a
displacement Of bone, muscle or organ,
any weakness that disturbs the action
of the nerves, circulation Of the blood
or function OF any part, you will find
disease entering. 1t is the work OF
the Osteopath to find such defects
and restore same to their normal lpo-
sition and action. dl-w1

Folk peolares for Public Ownership


KANSAS Cry. NO., Nov. >17.-ln an
Interview today Governor Folk, came
out for municipal ownership He
said: al believe 1t is the best thing
for any municipality to own Its public
utilities The sentiment is growing
and this is not surprising 10 view OF
the many and manifest wrongs Of
privately owned utilities towards the
public. With the growing sense OF
responsibility the public holds towards
itself, there is allied belief In itseli
and its power to check the evils which
so far have resulted in municipal
ownership Of public utilities In the
way Of transportation and In furnish
| ing the necessities OF life, Honestly
and ably managed there is no reason
| TO doubt that better and more econo-
mical service may be given by Utilities
under public ownership than under
