TRY for Factories,

Small manufacturing plants are de-
sirable factors in the business of any
town. There must be employment
for the residents of a city or town,
and any mean of supplying this need
is c~ommendable. But there is one
thing that many citizens do not take
into consideration, and that is, it is
better for the citizens of a town to
build up industries already establish
ed than to strive to gain new indus
tries. A manufacturing plant is ben
eficial to a place in accordance with
it's payroll and its output of goods
that bring a revenue to the town.
Some small oncerns that will en-
ploy a dozen hands will have a Bay
roll of perhaps $35 or $40 a day. The
value of it's products may amount to
$4,000 or 100000 annually, all de-
pendent upon the character of the
business. But what is most consid-
cred is the payroll. From the aver
age small town it is estimated that
trade lost, and which goes to large cit
les through the mails, is more than
500 a day. If citizens of a commu-
nifty would retain this $500 a day and
do their trading in the home town, 1t
Is evident that it would be twice as
beneficial as the small factory that
has a payroll of $40 or $50 daily.

There is a strong disposition among
Democrats to make a square issue OF
the proposition of the president and
Mr.. Root to secure constructions OF
the constitution" increasing the power
of the federal government at the ex-
pense of the rights of the states, or, in
other words, to amend the constitu-
ton, not by the method prescribed in
that instrument, but by judicial con-
struction, thus transferring the SOW
ereignty of the nation from the people
to a body of nine judges chosen by
the president for the purpose of OBJ
tanning an enlargement of his own
powers by intrigue, involving usurpa-
ton. Notwithstanding Mr.. Roots as
sertion that 'the people will have
such changes through that
would amount to an abrogation of the
fifth article and the tenth amendment
of the constitution, Democrats are
ready to test the question. The next
Democratic national convention will
probably speak out in unmistakable
terms on this point.

Schemes to pefraud.

One of the latest plans Of travelling
agents to defraud the people residing
in the country is the wire fence deal,
Lately a number Of travelling agents
have been working in different vest
ern states. They represent to the
farmer that they will install an eight
strand wire fence with iron posts
for only eight cents a foot. No money
is asked in advance, but a promisory|
note is given that upon the compile
ton of the fence the same will bel
paid for at the agreed price per foot.
After the fence is put in position the|
farmer finds that his note has been|
placed in the local bank for collection
and that instead Of he securing his|
fence for eight cents per foot, it Isl
eight cents per wire foot" which
makes it GA cents per foot. This Isl
purely a modification of the old light
ming rod swindle. It hardly ever pays|
the farmer to have dealings with trav1
cling agents who mako extraordinary
promises al to the goods they have
to dispose Of.

When once a Republican politician
becomes thoroughly inoculated with
the protection virus, he is thereafter
immune from the tariff revision cpl
demic that periodically sweeps over
the country. There is a reason for
this, and it is not to the credit of the
politician, for it is grounded in graft.
The protected trusts and combines
are careful to help those who help
them, and freely contribute to the
campaign fund Of the Republican
party, which in turn is divided
amongst those congressman and. SEN
