a lunchcart owner, last night, and two
attempts we're made by a mob TO get into
the jail and lynch the murderer. the mob
not knowing that he had been secretly
taken out OF town.
When the mob Of 500 appeared at the
Jail Deputy sheriff Davis told them the
murderer had been taken away.
This an gered the crowd. and when George
W. Heuly began to talk TO the mob ne was
assaulted and would have been killed had
the officers not made a sally and dragged
him inside.
A leader Of the mob with a dozen follow
ers began TO batter the iron doors Of the
Jail. Deputy Sheriff Davis took his stand
behind the iron grating, pointed his re-
volveT directly at their faces and demanded
that the man who headed the attack sur
render or he would shoot him on the spot.
This seemed to bring the leader to his
senses and Deputy Sheriff Davi then
proposed that IL he would quiet the crowd

and search every room and cell.

ATARRIFF
DILEMMA.

In Iowa the Republican factions
are discussing the question whether
the party has "cut loose from the
President" by nominating Cummins
who is not stand patter, 1t does
seem rather unfortunate for the Cum
Minis faction to appear in that light,
but they will have to lay the blame
on President Roosevelt for deserting
them and now being on the wrongside
of the tariff issue. But much more
important matter for the voters of
Iowa to discover is how the Republi,
can candidates for Congress stand on
the tariff issue. Are they pledged to
"stand pat' and refuse to revise the
tariff THAT is, carry out the agree.
ment made between President Roose,
welt and Cannon to run stand pat
campaign. Or do any, or all, OF
those candidates for Congress stand
with Gov. Cummins who has been fol
tariff revision? 1t would seem that
the Republican voters of Iowa whe
believe that the tariff shelters trusts
will have to use great discrimination
when they vote, and need to question
their candidates for Congress as tc
just where they stand on the tariff
issue. TO vote straight Republican
ticket for Congressman would be an
endorsement of the "standpat' agree
ment and be looked upon as com
mand to put off tariff revision for al
indefinite period.

PROTECTING
BEEF PACKERS.

A Press dispatch from Chicago re-
ports that "the President does not
deem the new meat-inspection bill
watertight." ." Nor is that the worst
of it, for the same dispatch says:
"under the new regulations the pack
ers lose that which is declared unfit.
If a more rigid examination is made
before the cattle are shipped or offered
for sale much of this loss would not
fall on the packers" Secretary Will
son is in Chicago to arrange for close
inspection of cattle at points of ship.
ment. This can only mean that the
Administration is trying to prevent
loss to the Beef Packers and throw
the burden on the farmers, but it
would seem that the packers are amply
protected for they are not compelled
to buy cattle that are not in good
condition when they arrive at the
stock yard. The farmers and stock
raisers should insist on square deal
and that the Administration carry
out the law fairly and not attempt to
protect the packers, who are quite
able to care for their own interests.

STANDARD OIL
HOCUS POCUS.

The Standard OIL Company has
been indicted for violating the law
prohibiting rebates; but no individual
is to be punished The corporation
may be fined a few thousand dollars,
and the price of oil put up a cent or
two on the gallon. That's all. The
people will pay the bills. If the men
guilty ofthe nineteen separate otfenses
charged in the indictment were pros
ecuted and sent to jail as they should
be, the people would have less to pay,
and less cause to complain of favorit-
ism in the administration of justice.
If there were Democratic President,
the criminals would soon be serving
their country in striped uniforms, and
there would be no such actual justifi =
cation of the socialistic propaganda
What do monopolists care for fines,
when they can recoup, the money so
paid by increasing the price of their
products =? The whole proceeding at
Chicago is only bit of electioneering
hocus pocus.

ries the President his check every
time. He gets eight checks during
the year for 81. 1866. .66 and four checks
for S4166.66 which makes $50. 900.
On one occasion when Grover Cleve-
land was president, mistake was
made and nine checks were drawn fol
$4166. 55 instead of eight. AT the
end of the year in order to balance
the accounts a check for one cent was
drawn for Cleveland, which was not
only one of the smallest chechs ever
drawn, but the smallest check that
could be used. This check was never
cashed. Some time when the eX-
President gets hard up he will have it
to fall back on.

KEEP HIM ON
THE STUMP.

There has never been much prospect
of the Republicans being able to hold
their 1904 gains in Missouri, but
since Secretary Shaw has taken the
stump there, it is a cinch for the
Democrats. If President Roosevelt
will keep him on the stump in the
doubtful states and congressional dis
tricts, it will be a god-send tor the
country in two ways, for it will keep
Shaw away from the United States
Treasury, where he would be con-
stantly schcming in the interest of the
Rockefeller banks, and will ensure a
large number of Republicans voting
the Democratic ticket.

Have You Paid Your Taxes ?

If voters have not paid State OF
county tax within two years preced'
ing the sixth day of November next
they should call upon the assessor for
their proper ward and have themsel-
YES assessed on their occupation SC
that they may qualify themselves to
vote. They should do this not later
than Wednesday, September 5th-two
months before the election.
The payment of a tax to qualify as
a voter must be made one month be-
fore the election, or not later than
Saturday, October 6. Under the
Corrupt Practices Act" no tax can
be paid for the voter by political
party, candidate or any individual,
nor can tax receipt be given the
voter as gift. The penalty for vic,
lation of this law is fine and imprison-
ment.

The Cleveland Iron Age Review
in its last report of the iron and steel
market declares, that, "prices are adj
vancing more rapidly towards those
of the boom period of 1902 than con-
servative interests like to see." As
the Steel Trust can fix the price of
steel products in this country and is
protected by the tariff from competi-
ton, the price it charges for its pro-
ducts is all the consumers can pay.
When the price gets beyond that
point consumption will decline and
the inevitable boom busting occur.
If the tariff protection to the Steel
Trust was reduced or abolished, the
conservative interests" would not
have to fear, so why not help the
Democrats to reform the tariff.

THE TARIFF
ON SALT.

Every three people, on the average,
use barrel of salt year. The total
amount consumed last year was 26, :
S72, 200 barrels, which included only
1,151, 1873 barrels imported from for
eign countries. The tariff duty on
salt is II cents per 100 pounds in
packages and s cents per 100 pounds
if imported in bulk, according to the
government statistics of imports for
1905. This large protective tariff
duty allows the Salt Trust to charge
about double the price salt would sell
for than it would if the duty was
abolished. So when the farmer buys
barrel of salt about one half the
price he pays is increased profit to the
Trust, because the Trust is protected
from competition. The salt imported
in packages cost in the country from
which it was imported, 40 cents per
hundred pounds, and the salt in bulk
10c per hundred pounds. Salt can
be made here at about the same cost
as abroad, so the profits of the trust,
it will be seen, are enormous. AS the
Salt Trust is protected by the tariff
from SO to SO per cent, or an average
of over 5S per cent, every family has
to pay about double for what they
use in consequence of this special pro-
lection to the Trust. The Salt Trust
is but one of many trusts that plund-
ers the American people and yet the
Republican leaders have decided to
stand pat and let the plundering con-
tinue. Do you Republicans feel in
clined to follow your leaders pro-
gram?

PRICE ON FARM
PRODUCTS FALLING.

How will the Republicans justify
the stand pat doctrine?
The farmer who votes the Republi-
can ticket is scratching his head and
thinking seriously that something is
wrong with the protective tariff. He
finds the price of wheat in Chicago
market has fallen II cents bushel in
less than six weeks, he also finds the
price of cotton, corn and oats falling
and that all he buys still continues at
top prices. He has been told by the
Republican leaders and the Republi-
can newspapers that protectionism is
the salvation of the farmer, because it
increases the home market for his
products and keeps up prices and
therefore produces prosperity for the
farmer as well as the protected trusts.
AS long as the wheat crop was only a
moderately good one in the United
States, with short crops abroad, pro-
tectionism seemed to work out as the
stand-patters said it would. But now
comes bumper crop of wheat weigh
ing over 60 pounds to the bushel and
good prospects for crops abroad and
down comes the price to the export
basis-that is the price the Liverpool
market, where all countries compete,
is willing to pay-and the beautiful
theory of protectionism is found lack
ing. The farmer finds the tariff on
wheat of 20 cents bushel is delu-
sion and a snare, for of course no
wheat is imported when We raise
more than can be consumed here and
have to hunt a foreign market for the
surplus.
1t will be rather awkward for
Speaker Cannon, and the other Re-
publican speakers, in the campaign,
to elect Congress, to explain to the
farmers how the tariff protects them
when they have to sell in the cheapest
market and buy in the dearest. There
should be no such trouble in explain.
ing why all the farmer buys has in.
creased on the average 4S per cent.
because the Republican speakers can
point with pride to the prosperity Of
the trusts and combines who are pro-
tected by the tariff.
1t is evident that these compare.
lively few protected interests are Of
more consequence to the Republicaa
managers, who declare they will stand
pat on the tariff, than the great agri-
cultural interests that are the chief
basis of all the wealth of the United
States.

THE TARIFF
ISSUE IN SIMPLE.

The whole tariff issue, as far as the
voters can settle it, is shall the tariff
rate that shelters the trusts be revised
so that being high enough to produce
what revenue the government needs,
yet not so high as to protect the trusts
from competition The Democrats
take the affirmative side of that pro-
position and the Republicans the
negative, the latter having decided
against any tariff reform. The sensi-
BILE voter cannot but decide to vote
for Congressman, that is pledged to
revise the tariff, by eliminating the
chief part, if not all of the protection
to trusts and combines, while produc-
ing enough revenue to run the Gov
ernment, honestly and economically
administered.

WHEAT is ten cents a bushel
lower in price than last year, although
it is still protected by the tariff rate
of 25 cents bushel. The price of
all the farmers are buying is however
at the top notch and in fact the price
of all trust products protected by the
tariff, is higher this year than last.
