WHAT fools some persons are
and newspaper men among EN-!
For instance. A lot of editors and
publishers, calling themselves the
Northwestern something or other,
got together a week or SO ago at
never mind where-and discussed
several questions. That was
neither remarkable nor singular
for an appointed jaw-fest. But
they also cussed. What? Why
we'll, there must have been a flow
of something beside soul-why,
the tariff on the type-setting ma
chine called linotype, and actually
ended up by resoluting Congress
to remove this safeguard against
the pauper labor of Europe and
Canada! What do you think OF
that? Yes, and they claimed If
the tariff on linotypes was taken
off, that a machine now costing
the purchaser $4,000 could be
bought for $500. / confess all this
is beyond me. The crowd of reso-
luters was made up mainly from
men who have always been Loyal
and true; have helped save the
national honor; stood up for the
sanctity of the judiciary; the in
tegrity of the Home Market; have
denounced the fallacy and wicked
ness of Free Trade, in season, Out
of season, and all the time. And
now! Well, well! Don't they
know that the tariff is not a tax,
and that, anyway, the foreigner
pays it? That protection induces
competition and cheapens the
price of the article protected? Thai
the manufacturers who ask pro-
lection do SO that thereby they
may sell at lower prices and pay
higher wages? For verification o.
these assertions | refer them to

L DESIRE again TO call the az
tention of my readers to that thing
of most damnable possibilities,
the "fraud order" prerogative of
the mail department. Under it
any man may be debarred the use
of the mails, without trial, without
notification, and without hearing.
1t is a monstrous power to dele
gate to any man or set of men, and
fraught with danger to the dearest
rights of the citizen. In this con-
nection l cordially approve of and
herewith quote from the st. Louis
Censor: "That man Lewis, of the
Woman's Magazine, is as fine a vic
tim-example OF despotism as you
will find anywhere among white
men, and | am mindful of Russia
when | make this statement-Rus-
STA which is supposed to belong,
land, seas, rivers, lakes, forests,
soil, cities and human inhabitants
to the heridatary Caesar. But the
Lewis case is just a little worse
than anything I can recall that
ever came out of Russia. Lewis
is virtually dead. Without ever
having been convicted of any
crime, he is being punished for
crime. He has been denied his
rights arbitrarily and without trial
by jury. \ n By the arbitrary
decree of some government official,
Lewis was barred from the mails,
and officially declared a fraud.
Mail sent to him is stamped
fraudulent" in big red letters
and returned to the sender or sent
to the dead letter Office. Is Lewis
a fraud? Whatever may be your
moral conviction as to that, Lewis
is not legally a fraud. The start
ing point of Anglo-Saxon juris-
prudence is the principle that
every man is innocent until he is
proven guilty; yet here is a man
suffering the pains and penalties
of guilt, who is really not legally
and officially guilty. If Lewis is
a fraud, as the government asserts
with red-letter emphasis on every
letter directed to him, why is he
not being punished in the way
the law provides for the punish
ment of malefactors? If Lewis is
fraud enough to justify taking his
property away from him, why is
he not fraud enough to merit a
! term in the penitentiary? How is
it possible for the government to
visit on him the illegal punish
ment he now suffers, while it re.
fuses to do its duty by forcing him
before a jury of his peers to meet
trial as the law provides? He is a
Fraud shrieks the government,
and yet the government dares
shrek this while it dare not follow
such charges to the conclusion.
And while this man has been thus
stigmatized, we scarcely give a
thought to the monstrous fact that
the government is taking no steps
whatever, nor will it, to prove its
damning accusation. 1t has ruined
Lewis. 1t has prohibited him to
= do business. 1t has forbidden
even that his closest friends, yea,
even his wife, to send him the
solace of friendly letter. He is a
twentieth century excommunicant
1t is not Lewis and his inerts thai
J are important. The case has q
{ meaning far wider than that. II
| involves the very fundamentals o.
I our government. And to under
I stand the case fully, you should
put yourself in Lewis place."

IL LINE w 1SNAo AN
constitution observance. 1t
recalls an occasion chronicled a
long time ago, wherein a most
salutary lecture on righteousness
was delivered with fervency and
zeal by a certain spear-tailed
gentleman in conventional black.
True, he was discredited, but all
fates are not the same. The CD.
has "gall," and faith in the
credulity and prejudice of its fol-
owing. With these in hand, so to
say, there ought to be no such
word in it's ready lexicon as "fail."
THF Missouri Republican dele
cation of Congressmen-nine OF
them-went up against His Might
ness, Rooseveltius l., and all, save
two, backed squarely down. The
two who have the courage OF their
convictions, are Fulkerson OF the
4th and Murphy of the 10th dis
trict. May their tribes increase!
The matter under consideration
was the comforting OF statehood on
four territories knocking for ad-
mission into the Union. Our
Eastern masters want to CONSOLE
date them into two states instead
of four, and the President is of the
same mind. The object is to keep
the West from gaining power in
the House of Lords; to give the
s'wild and woody" occident four,
and not the eight, ley Senators it
is entitled to by rule and justice.
Not one of the territories but out
ranks any of a half-dozen East
ern States in acres and population,
with an hundred-fold possibility
for the future. But the East,
which has so long fattened and
battened off the energy and in
dustry and enterprise of the West,
knows a good thing when it sees
it, and will not willingly abandon
it's possession. One would think
that, if ever a Representative in
Congress could "stand pat" il
would be on a question involving,
as does this, the interests and de-
sires of his own people; that he
could not, without a feeling Of
shame, sacrifice them to the de-
mands of arrogant and selfish out
siders. But seven Missouri Con-
gressmen, who, "swearing they
never would" cuckood to Ills
Highness and recanted their pro-
LESSONS. For what reason? Why
the President swore that If they
didn't he would divorce them from
their beloved pie-counter righ'
now. That settled it, of course
If you threaten to deny "pie" tt
the average Missouri Republican
Congressman you've got him. Hi
Is no more immune than some So
called Democratic Representatives
who played the toady and boot
Ticker in times not SO very long
past. IT'S pity that the men We
pay to represent us SO soon forge
their obligations to the people anc
switch their obligations over tt
