THE DAILY INpErENDENT
PASTORS AND ZINC
SUBSCRIPTION RATES

The Almighty will take care of the
tariff, said Senator Dnlliver i'll his Reno
speech. He spoke only in a general
way and it remained for two cIergymen
to reach the heights of absurdIty IN
putting the tariff into heavenly hands.
These Missouri ministers prayed yester-
day that Il duty might be imposed upon
zinc since zinc is the chief industry in
their neighborhooG. Foreign zine is
cheaper and can hold down the price of
the Missouri product if admitted free.
Blind leaders of a blind flock. these
pastors do not take into account the
plight that the foreigner will be in if
he is shut ont Of the American market.
Why then should the Ruler of the
Universe heed such IL prayer What
grounds Of justice would there be- in
putting IL man into poverty that an
other might I've raised To a%nluenceY
When the Almighty's aid is asked in
a selfish cause. there can be hut one
answer. Those who pray such prayers
are short sighted They see only the
narrow circle that surrounds them
selves and fail to observe the undcrly-
ing laws Oh which the universe is
founded. Let them stand out under
the sky on a starry night when no
beams dim the sparkling orbs
and raise their voices in su]pplication
to Him who made not only this earth,
a mote in the sunbeam of Gods glory.

Foraker considered the Presidential

SOME TARIFF INEQUITlES

1t is possible for an American to
purchase starch in England. which WAS
made in and exported from this country,
and ship it bacl; To the United States ut
less cost than if he had purchased the
commodity in his W country.
Forty cents can be saved ON every 100
pounds of American starch bought in
England and rcshipped to the United
States. This illuminating disclosure of
the workings Of D~ingleyisn was made

Statute Helps Taft

y peculiar statute in Missouri pre-
vents William J. Bryan from having one
electoral vote from this state and gives
Mr.. Taft the full eighteen instead of
the seventeen to which he is by rights
entitled. This peculiar law will pre-
vent William H.. Brannock of the six
tcenth district from being commissioned
as a Democratic e~lectOr, for counting
those who received the highest number
of votes i'll the state, he is the eighteenth
man. Mr.. BrannOck received 3iG, 57i
votes and ii. w. Kicl of st. Louis. Re.
publican clcctor at large, received BAG.
342 votes or 233 votes less than were
cast for Mr.. Brannock. Had the latter
been an clcctor at large he would have
received his commission.
The Missouri statute governing the
election of electors is different from
that of any other state. Tho law of
this state specifies that the electors re-
ceiving the highest number "t votes
shall be declared elected if they are
electors at large. The district electors.
however, are governed by IA different
provision. Their election depends on
their ability to poll more votes than any
other clcctOr in the particular district
and counting the entire vote of the
state for and against them. The two
electors, w. /. Duffcndcrfcr, Republi-
can, and William II. Brannock. Demo.
crnt, are both from the sixteenth dis.
trict, and both received the highest
vote of his party III the state and in the
district.
a curious feature in connection with
this contest is that if the vote for prcsi
dent is counted on that basis Taft would
have n plurality Of but go. Taking il
on another basis on the vote for clector
ut large, it would give Mr.. Taft a plur
ality Of 1.02G.--St. Joseph Observer.
