The three trains. Nos. 1, 8, and Z,

day, got out of Lamar about Z p. m
last night. The passengers were a
jolly crowd and made the best OF
their enforced stay. Everyone had
good word for Lamar and her citi-
zens to be the most hospitable and
friendly people on earth. Many of
them expressed desire to return
to our little city, at some future time
but they wish their next visit under
more favorable circumstances. Every
thing possible for the entertainment
of these people was done by Lamar.
The Club room was their property
while here, the Electric Theatre
gave special shows, and an enter
tainment was given for their benefit.
Many of them also enjoyed the
prayer meetings held at the different

The People Understand.

At Des Moines Mr.. Bryan declar
ed that the continued existence of
the Protective system "can be ac-
counted for only on the theory that
the voters have not understood eithe
the theory of Protection or the facts
relied upon to support it," This is
pretty severe charge against the
intelligence of the American people
who have voted approval of the Pro
tective Tariff for forty-eight years,
with but one break. and that at once
productive of widespread disaster
1t requires a high degree Of teme-
rity for Presidential candidate to
charge a nation with being stupid
enough to vote for half a century in
support of system making their
robbery easy. That a revision of
the Tariff is desirable and certain
does not enter into the calculation.
Mr.. Bryal's attack is upon the Pro-
tective system generally, under which
fostered by Republican administra-
ton, all our domestic manufacturing
industries have been developed until
now America is the machine shop of
the world, to the benefit of both pro-

Paid by the Rich.

The fact that by far the larger
portion of the customs revenue col
lected by the Government comes
from Tariff duties on Injuries import
ed for the use and enjoyment of
those who can afford them, while
the proportion OF Tariff revenue de-
rived from imports of so-called nee
essities" is relatively small, is indis-
putably demonstrated in an article
contributed by the Washington cor
respondent of the American Econo-
mist. Mr.. Dodge's presentment the
result of careful and conscientious
examination of official statistics, fur
nishes conclusive answer to the
Free-Trade contention that a Pro-
tective Tariff bears with especial sew
Gritty upon the common people" 1t
proves precisely the contrary. 1t Is
the well to do people. the greatly
rich and moderately rich, who pay
the great bulk of the Tariff. They
pay it justly, for 1t is solely a matter
of choice that they purchase the high
er grades of articlesE manufactured
abroad. instead of the equivalent of
those articles produced at home. Up
on these imported articles the high
est rates of duty are levied and the
greater portion of the gross sum of
customs revenue is collected. 1t is
exactly as it should be. Such n Tar
iff is not easily improved upon.
