Ne hope al are satisfied. So far as we have heard no charges of fraud have been made, though some fault is found with one thing and an- other.

 Here k the paragraph reproduced word for word just as it appeared three weeks ago.
 Forrest City has prosperei under i high license. l. has almost doubled its population; many substantial store i houses have been built. and miles of concrete pavement laid, etc, etc. No fair and unprejudiced mind will CT can charge even in the remoteSt possible way, its present indebtedness to the license regime. Before the light plant was purchased city scrip was worth dollar for dollar.
 Now does that say or even intimate that the payements were put down by the saloon license? Some are too quick to condemn, and others were easily deceived.

TIMELY and TRUE.
EDITOR ARGUS:


East Walnut street between William
and the Hospital needs attention. It
really is in bad condition, there is no
curbing, and the side walks are wash
ed very badly in some places. in fact,
some places are washed away.
It would seem that attention would
be given to this, especially as there are
hills leading to our hospital. We think
curbing should be put down especially
for the above reason; the sidewalks
filled and the hills graded.
At the meeting of the Aldermen to-
night will be the best time for this W ork
to be ordered done.
Naturally, the east end of Walnut
street is the highest part of eur city,
and the location ideal for sidewalks.
Standing on the ''hill' overlooking the
city, presents beautiful scene, and
being only a few blocks from the busi-
ness portion makes it the more desir-
able as q residential section.

ANALYSIS OF the DINeLEY TARIFF.

DR.. Charles w. Eliot, president of
Harvard University, has published .
statement directed against the entire
protective system, which he says
leads to monopoly and IL an injury
rather than Q bensft to the main
tenance Of American wages or Ameri-
can standards OF living. He speaks
without partisan bias. without . bit OF
demagogism, from n scholars point of
view only. The entire statement should
be published by millions and placed
in the bands of American voters.
DR.. Eliot goes on to show that pro-
lection postpones and obstructs the
ducts into the markets Of the world.
Our industries, including agriculture
turn out more salable material than
we can consume, ana the tarin
compels us to produce the material at
swollen prices. We cannot sell ad-
vantageously tariff taxed articles in
the markets Of the world.
Protection has destroyed American
shipping by preventing us from con-
ducting a profitable carrying trade
with other nations. Where we would
sell We must buy, and the tariff slips
in to veto such an exchange. While
the tariff wall remains subsidies can
not bring US profitable ocean carry
ing trade.
But above all else the tariff cenfers
privileges by law on individual mon
or small classes Of men. Equality be-
fore the law has been abolished, and
we now grant privileges to favored
men of classes even beyond those
granted by dospstio and aristocratic
governments.
Gus slime Of pretended altruism. The
chief objection, says DIR. Eliot, to pro-
tectivs legislation 10 . moral one
namely, that it diminishes tho enter
prise, Self-reliAnce and sense OF justice
OF the population rs q whole. 1t works
can exchanges abroad. Two genera
items Of voters have been hoodwinked
with q word-"proteetion." Ne re-
visisn will answer because the tarin
rates on almost all products are many
fold the differences in l~ber cost. This
is why the American manufacturer
sells his goods abroad At nuch lower
prises than he sells at home. The pro-
tective tariff is simply tax paid by
the great body Of consumers, not ta
the government for its support, but to
privileged lots of capitalists which
produce protected articles. 1t creates
monopolies who do net need to study
foreign and improved methods. Mo.
nopolies are always unprogressive
and DIR. Eliot presents a strictly reve
nue. tariff as the only road out of the
mesh OF monopolies that Dingleyism
has created.
