A Revenue Tariff and Home
Rule.

Senator Whyte, of Maryland,
and Justice Brewer, of the United
States Supreme Court, have
pointed out the two issues on
which the Democrats should make
the next national campaign. They
are a revenue tariff and the
largest possible measure of local
self government.
The Senator points out the
growing demand for a low tariff
which, because it is q revenue
tariff, will yield a considera BILE
amount of protection-more than
can possibly be needed even if
we admit the theories of the pro.
tectiOnists. He says. what is OBJ.
vlous to every one, that the Re.
publican party is so bound to the
benefciaries of the tariff that it
cannot reduce tariff duties. Only
the Democratic party can reduce
the popular demand. Here is the
leading issue on which the Dem.
ocratlc party can win.
Justice Brewer was making an
address before the Virginia Bar
Association when he repeated the
warnings he has already uttered

THE FARMERS AND T H E
TARIFF.

The farmers can ardly approve the
Republican stand pat program, when
they find the price of wheat, corn,
and cotton declining and the cost of all
that they buy rapidly advancing.
Where does the boosted protection to
agriculture come in under the present
protective tariff and how are the
farmers protected, although the tariff
law provides that p cents a bushel on
wheat and Is cents a bu>hel on oats he
collected Oh imports? The price of
wheat is now lower than it has been
for ten years or since the present tariff
law was enacted in August, 1897.
Those farmers who are Republicans,
should demand of their stand pat"
leaders a fair deal, and if the Agri-
cultural Machinery Trust, the Barbed
Wire Combine, the Lumber A>socia-
ton and the Clio hing Trusts, are still
to be protected by the tariff in charg-
ing exorbitant prices for their products,
that some method Of raising the prize
of cereals and keeping them stable
should offset trust high prices.
The fact is. however, that no tariff
can protect the farmer on his products.
of which the surplus must be sold
abroad, as the prices paid by the for
eigner for that surplus fixes the prices
here The only relief that the farmer
can receive is to be able to buy in the
cheapest market and this he never can
do as long as the trusts, that mt OILS all
that he buys, are protected 10y the tar
if from competition. 1t is plain,
theref re, that the farmer who votes
for Republican Congressman and for
the Republican candidates for the Leg
islatuie, who in turn will elect Repub-
lican Senators, is voting to continue
the protection To the trusts aud for
high prices, with no protection to help
the price of his own products.

THING OF ALL Is REGIS
TRATION.


The Central Committee for each DIS
trict in the county has many important
duties before it this fall, but none more
so than the careful looking after the
registration of the Democratic voters.
Whist this matter has been given
mere or less attention in the past, it is
obvious that there can be no let up at
any place along the line, if successful
results are ever to follow. With a
heavy Republican majority staring us
in the face it is important that every
means should be taken to lower their
voting strength, and if ever there was
time when the chances were bright
for Dem, cratic success, that time is
now. Tue Sixth District has been car
rled for Democracy, and with a united
effort it can lie carried again. There
is open revolt all along the line at the
shabby Republican policies and their
determination to stand pat" all along
the line in this campaign. They WU
stand par' just as long as supine
people continue to tolerate that Earty's
shortcomings and monstrous nerve.
They FAY that in the affairs of men
there is tide which taken at its fl cd
leads on to fortune So with politics,
and we can truthfully say that this tide
has set in and one day it will carry the
victorious Democracy, the upholders
Of Jefiersonion principles, on it's CREST
to the power it deserves and de
mands. The country is thirsty for a
Democratic government, aud every
indication points to tie control of the
lower branch of Congress by them.
of course this all means Wo,k aud
much of it, and Que of the most neces
sary adjuncts is regtstrati N.
Registration should be the thought
from now on until the last day of the
sitting. Don't let single rame es-
cape you Tut put all your power into
the task. Two yeare hence will be the
great Presidential contest, and We in
Frederick County want to feel prepar
ed to do our share in the election of
Democratic President. Wise ones say
that such gadso lie event is not only
a possibility, but probability, and we
want to keep our lamps trimmed and
burning all along the line.
This advice is not for any Que dis
trict more than another. Better work
could Ue done in Frederick District
and it is most important that the
closest attention should lie given to
registration this fall. There is 10 bet
ter time to start than now.
The District Committees should have
frequent meetings AID look over aud
correct the lists. Without some system
no great work was ever done. So let
10 more words be needed aud the work
be done
The Congressional fight this fall
may cause some surprises The Re
publicaus are smiling. and, as usual,

not so sangIiue, and if a hustliug

Governor Cummins B a K s
Down Theodore the Great


Down Theodore the Great
It.
MeSSrS. Editors:
The King marched up the hill
with ten thousand men and then
he marched down again. That
is exactly what Governor Cum
minis, of Iowa, did in the late
State Convention held in that
State by the Republican cohorts.
He had made most strenuous
campaign based entirely upon tar
if revision and the idea that all
the schedules of the Dingley
tariff should be revised which
were being used to shelter the
trusts of ne country. He ripped,
rOared, snorted and tore bis shirt.
1t was stnorated" around the en-
tire country that he would have
the scalps of the trusts in that
convention or ''bust hame
string" He busted That great
pacificator, great alleged orator,
hot air emitter and smooth PAGER,
the hon. Jonathan PrentiSs Dol
liver, Senator of the United
States from the great State of
Iowa, came in between the Per
kins forces and the CumminS
forces, and then there was peace
in large floating, juicy chunks,
and the standpatters and the tar
if revisioniSts fell upon each
others uecks and wept, and the
pipe of peace was smoked and all
was lovely and the goose honked
high in the heavens. 1t was the
case of the lion and the lamb
lying down together, and it was
the same old stOry-the lamb lay
down in the belly of the lion.
1t simply proved the same old
thing that we Democrats have all
been preaching to the voters of
the country for the past dozen
years, viz:-that a Republican is
a Republican before he is tariff
reviSioniSt, that when he is
preaching tariff revision he is
simply selling soap from the tail
gate of wagon and after he has
sold his load he will run his
wagon over the voter. The Iowa
Convention was the cleareSt case
of fake, hypocrisy, swindle, lie
and steal that there has been
placed on record in the past
decade Of American politics.
CumminS led his forces right up
to the tariff revision trough and
then gave them Swill instead of
corn. He surrendered everything
that he had advocated before the
people for the empty honor of a
third nomination for the gov
ernorShip. Thus did he demon
Strate that he is a Republican
and pap sucker before he is a
patriot and man who believes
that his people are being robbed
by the tariff schedules. The PEG
pie now in his State have the
most splendid opportunity that
they ever had in their lives to
swat one Cummins in the neck
and vote for what he has been
preaching to them for the past
six years. They are all buying
in a protected market and selling
in free trade market. They all
are paying more for every farm
Implement they buy than the
farmer in Canada and IN any
other foreign country. So long
as they continue to vote Re
publican ticket for a Congress-
man they are fastening on their
necks this yoke. How do they
like the sores that it has made!
How would they like to get rid OF
1t! They. and all the people OF
this country can get rid of it in a
hurry by voting the Democratic
ticket for Congress this fall, and
by thus repudiating such sell outs
as the man Cummius, of Iowa.

a good many people have been
writing to the Democratic Con
gressional Campaign Commit e
that the reason that there was
dissatisfaction in the Republican
ranks in the respective districts
asked about, was because there
was "too much bossism" and that
the people resented it. Great
goodness! If so called bossiSm
is the cause of Republican disaf
lection i'll any one Republican
district in this country, then why
should not there be wide spread
disatfectiOn in the Republican
ranks all over the country? If
ever the Republican party had a
boss in this country in the his
tory of It's politics, and a man
who dominates its policies like a
Colossus between whose huge
legs lesser politicians look for
greener graves, and TO whom the
late Mark Hanna was a political
plgmy, let them cast their eye on
one Theodore Roosevelt. He is
"lT," and there is no other like
unto him in the Republican DO
lltlcal armament. He not only
compelled Republican Congress
to do his bidding in a number of
things, and made them to crawl
on their round bellies, but he
is dominating the Congressional

that they must dance to his music

said that the Republican party
had Eot got money FROM the cor

men behind Judge Parker were too
timid or too cOn.e vative to allow
the Judge to tell the truth and

not. Not one of the tariff fed

Teddy. He has not tackled one
of them. Only the odious trusts,
for whom no man on earth has a
good word, have been assaulted by
him and his administration. Any
man can kick mean dog
and get the applause of the public.
Why does he not jump on the

a reduction of the tariff on the

SNAKE STORIES POINT MORAL
II Nothing Else, They Show Folly Of
Exaggeratlne Horrors.

One OF the significant features OF
this snake season, and of any snake
season that occurs, which Is every
year, is the very long length Of the
blacksnakes that are seen This Is
not at all remarkable, for about the
only thing a blacksnake has to show
for itself Is It's length. II has no musi
cal tail like the rattlesnake, nor the
puffed-out head of the Kissing viper,
nor the liyid, languid manners of the
housesnake-it has only length, and
when with amazing speed 1t whips
through the deep grass or dead leaves,
- seems to be 30 or 40 feet long.
So truly does this little Illusion ex
ist that when a person tells of a
blacksnake seven or eight feet long,
he prides himself on great modesty Of
statement, And, by the way, we have
noted many blacksnake stories this
summer and we have not encountered
a snake under seven feet
There was that story of girl out
In York state, who heard her little dog
barking violently out in the stable,
She went there to discover the cause,
and, lol that little dog was in fight
with a blacksnake seven feet long, 1t
was a great fight and the dog was do
ing heroic work, keeping the python
at bay, until the little girl hunted up
a pitch fork and with that dispatched
the serpent, which, the account says,
was seven feet long. or course, It had
to be seven feet. for there are no 9th.
er kind.
Is there a moral to this? There is,
of course. to every snake story. 1t Is
this, be exceedingly careful not to
make bigger than It is the horrible In
cident in your life which you encoun'
ter, See that your blacksnake Is un'

STATEHOOD IN DANGER.

The fate of statehood depends upon the result of
the election of constitutional delegates next Tuesday
The fact that statehood bill has passed congress does
insure statehood material factor in the creation of
states is the formation and adoption of constitu
ten that will be in full accord with the enabling act
The constitution of a new state must pass through
two critical periods after it has been formed by the
constitutional convention First approval by the suf
iragiss of the proposed state second approval by
the president of the United States.
If the convention should agree upon constitution
would be defeated But the most critical eye under
which the convention must pass is that of the president
The constitution might be endorsed by the people and yet
not meet the approval of the president And unless the
constitution is in accord with the enabling act in every
particular the president cannot approve it,
If the constitution of Oklahoma is not formed on
lines laid down by the enabling act statehood will surely
be defeated and all the work of our citizens for the past
dozen years will go for naught And if we are defeated
now, right the threshold of statehood it may be
dozen years before another congress will give us
a chance
This is serious proposition for all who want state.
hood to consider when they to vote next Tuesday It
matters not what your individual views may be on the
different questions sought to be injected into this cam.
pan What you should do is to vote for the candidate
for delegate who will help form constitution that will
meet the approval of the president and leave these other
questions for the legislature to consider
There is question alone which If incorporated
in the constitution will defeat statehood and that is the
proposition of Jim Crow cars This is unquesonably
contrary to the enabling act and President Roosevelt,
