a Pulpit on a Railway Station.

Travellers who enter Shrewsbury By
the Abbey Foregate station can scarce
ly fail to observe one of the most re-
Inarkable features to be seen at any
railway station in the world This is
pulpit. 1t stands prominently above
the coal wagons and miscellaneous
goods trucks of the station yard, an
ancient stone structure, to which ac-
cess is gained by an equally ancient
Hight of stone steps. This pulpit is
the only remaining fragment of the
domestic buildings Of the once great
and powerful Abbey of Shrewsbury.
In the olden days it stood in the
monks refectory and was used for
preaching from and for reading the
lessons while the monks ate their fru-
gal meals.

A Practical Explanation.

"Ah!" sighed the soulful young
woman, smiling the balmy air,
there's no mistaking the spirit of
spring in this glorious perfume in the
air. ..r.t
But suggested the practical
young man, maybe that pungent
smell amt so mysterious, after all. I
think it's the camphor off the last
years suits SO many fellows are wear

Sorrows Of the Critic.

The sorrows of the modern critic
are heavy; he must not only defer to
the tastes of the many-headed mob,
but he must talk to them in their own
jargon, lest they should misunderstood
him. One would almost accept the
privations of Grub street to have in
return a small educated audience, to
whom one could talk as one talks
with ones own familiar friend, an
audience capable of understanding
simple propositions. ..

5lackbirds Objected to the Cav Ha,

While walking in the suburban dis.
tricts with friend, Miss Nettie Will
iams o. Pittsburg was the object of
with a bird of brilliant plumage as an
ornament. Suddenly her head be-.
came encircled by half a dozen black
birds, which pecked at the bird in
her hat, tearing out the bright col.
ored feathers with their beaks.
The blackbirds even flew in her
face and lacerated the skin with their
bills. Tearing the hat from her head,
Miss Williams threw it on the ground.
Her escort was obliged to use his coat
to beat the birds off.

Low TAXES. LARGE COMMERCE
WANTED,

Taxation and commerce are the two
great problems of government. and the
duty of craftsmanship is to keep one
at the lowest and the other at the high
est level
All parties admit that to support the
great expense OF the national govern
ment we must maintain tariff duties.
The Republican party contends that in
fixing such taxes the purpose should
be to protect manufacturers with reve-
nue as an incident thereto. The Demo-
cratic party contends that in fixing the
tax the purpose should be to raise reve-
nue with protection only as an incident
II the Republican principle prevails, as
it does now, the tariff duties are so
adjusted as to raise the smallest amount
of revenue and furnish the highest
amount of protection. In other words,
the duties are so adjusted as to give
out of the sums paid by the people on
account of tariff taxes the smallest
possible amount TO the general govern
ment, and the largest amount to the

REPUBLICAN NOMINEE QUESTIONED
ON NATIONAL PLATFORM.

National issues are part OF this
campaign, and we shall not allow Mr..
Hadlcy to avoid them He was 4
member OF the Convention that
nominated the candidates and made
the platform; he cannot shirk rcspon-
sibility for either If he endorses
them, he is not entitled to the vote
of a laboring man in the State II he
refuses to endorse them, he will lose
the support of his party. He must
take one horn or the other Of this
dilemma, and either will be fatal to
his hopes.
Nothing in my judgment would
more surely promote the general
prosperity of Missouri than the build
ing up within her limits OF a great
manufacturing industry. Every nat
ural resource invites the building
here Of factories Our wealth of raw
material, our wonderful mineral re-
sources. our central location for pur-
poses of distribution. our salubrious
climate, our vast beds Of coal, the swift
streams of our southern counties wait
ing to be harnessed, the variety and
plcntitudc Of our agricultural products,
cheap food, all are invitations to the
manufacturer to make this his home.
Why does he not accept? Why are so
many articles. necessities OF our daily
life, which could be manufactured out
of our raw material imported from
other states ana we compelled to pay
the cost, both Of the transportation
of the raw material to the factory.
and the finished product to our
homes? The answer is the manuiac-
turcr already has his money invested
in plants in eastern states and so
long as under a protective tariff he
can crush ont competition by com
hination, he can compel the customer
TO pay these additional costs Of trans
portation without reduction of his
profit. Already protected from for
eign competition by 1900 miles OF
land and 5000 miles Of water, Mis-
souri, has everything to gain and moth
ing 60 lose by a reduction OF duties.
Every dollar that we pay beyond
what is necessary for government
revenues is not only an unjust burden
upon our citizens but a premium to
the eastern manufacturer to prevent
the upbuilding OF Missouri industries.
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1908-09-25

For years they have led the people to
believe that under republican rule and
a high protective tariff tie country
would always enjoy prosperity. Last
fall, under the highest protective tariff
that was ever known, with enormous
republican majorities in House and Sen
ate, and a strenuous republican cxecu-
tive in the White House, the country
was compelled to face severe financial
depression. The stringency of 1892 was
worldwide in its scope, and the panic
swept over many foreign lands before
it visited America, proving conclusvely
that the conditions which brought it
on were not of local origin This year
no country was visited by panic except
the United States, proving conclusively
it was local and not worldwide con-
ditons that caused the trouble. For
twelve years the republican party has
controlled every branch of the govern
ment They have made the laws and
administered them. What excuse have
they to offer for the conditions that
they brought about? If, as a portion
OF that party contends, this panic was
deliberately brought upon the country
by few great hnancicrs, what excuse
can the party give for governmental
policy under which a few great fnan-
ccrs can at will wreck the business in
tercst of 100000 frcemen? If, as
another portion OF the party contends,
this panic was brought upon the coun-
try by the over-zealousness of the chief
executive along certain lines, it is only
an assertion that the business men of
the country have lost confidence in re-
publican policies, administered by re-
publican President
We of the middle west suffered prob
ably less than any other section Of the
country Abundant crops from Our fer
tile fields and the prosperity of our
agricultural communities was the cause
of our security. Already our rcpub-
lican friends are proclaiming that pros
perity has returned. We trust that this
is true, but we cannot refrain from OBJ
serving here and there a discordant
note.

II is true to a certain extent that
the successful enforcement OF the law
depends upon public sentiment, Tween

progress along temperance lines have
not been the prohibition states like
Kansas and Maine. but the local OPP

On this important policy the re-
publcans Of Missouri are ominously
silent They fear to adopt a plan
that has not yet met with the ap-

and they fear to oppose a plan offer
ing SO much relief to the average citi-
