PUTS TAX ON WEST
ULTIMATE RESULT OF ALpRIcH
TARIFF INIoUITY.
In Plain Terms, the Idea Is to Enable
the New England Mill Bosses
to Mulct the Western
Consumer.

AT last the Aldrich cat is out Of the
tariff bag, and we know the worst.
The new tariff will simply be the
present Dingley tariff with a few
minor changes and a level increase on
everything imported of % per cent.
This is the effect of the maximum
and minimum clause, which, instead
OF making the minimum the regular
rate and providing the maximum as a
penalty to be enforced against any
nation, provides that the maximum
rate shall automatically go into effect
against all countries, and the mini
mum shall only prevail when special
ly directed by the president.
Tariff discrimination by other coun-
tries against the United States is not
to be the only warrant for maintaining
the 20 per cent. maximum. If the
president considers that the French
factory act, the German sanitary laws,
the Canadian bounty on steel, the
Brazilian coffee valorization law, or
any other domestic condition, entirely
apart from the tariff, operates against
us unduly, he may refuse to permit
minimum rates against whatever
country offends.
The Aldrich plan will increase the
tariff just 25 per cent, and not a
penny of reduction from that high
point can be secured unless the coun-
try which desires a reduction COM
plies with any demands for changes
not only in it's own tariff but in its
Internal laws, which the president Of
the United States sees fit to make.
This 25 per cent. increase will alb
solutely prohibit the importation of
many lines of goods and enable the
New England mill bosses to charge
the western % per cent.
more for their products. In other
words, it will fine the people of the
United States to punish the foreigner,
and the fines will come out of the
pockets Of the working west and go
into the Golfers of eastern tariff bar
ons
The proposal is Ubiquitous beyond
words. And the protest of the Amer
lean people against this infamous
scheme should shake the very capital
itself. King George himself never
dared such an attack on popular lib
erty, and it is high time that the Aid
riches and Paynes and other Repub-
Ecan grand dukes were taught a les
son they will not soon forget.

SYNOPSIS.

Three girls - Elizabeth, Gabrielle and
Elise-started for Canada to spend the
summer there. On board steamer they
were frightened by an apparently dement,
ed stranger. who, finding a bag belonging
to one of them, took enjoyment in scru-
tinizing a photo of the trio. Elise shared
her stateroom with a Mrs. Graham, also
bound for Canada. The young women on
q sightseeing tour met Mrs. Graham,
f~anxiously awaiting her husband, who had
4duced to Lord Wilfrid and Lady Edith.
A cottage by the ocean was rented. Two

Blake and Gordon Bennett, one a friend
of Elizabeth's father. A wisp of yellow
hair from Mr.. Graham's pocket fell into
was black. Fearing for the safety of
some gems, Lady Edit left them in a
safe at the cottage. Mr.. Gordon Bennett
was properly introduced, explained his ac-
lions on board ship and returned the lost
bag. Exploring the cellar, one of the
girls found a sphinx cuff-buton, the exact
counterpart of which both Gordon Ben
nett and Lady Edith were found to pos

Lady Edith told a story of a lost love in
connection with the sphinx key. At a
supper, which was held on the rocks,
Elizabeth rather mysteriously lost
her ring, causing a search by the entire
party. Gabrielle witnessed a stormy
scene between Lady Edith and Lord VIII
-frid, red roses being the cause of the lat
ter's anger. Mary Anne brought back
Elizabeth's ring. Elise went sailing with
Gordon Bennett. He tried to persuade
her to return the jewels left in the girls
care by Lady Edith. He told her he

part of which Lady Edith owned.

REFUSED TO SKIMP FUNERAL

There is a German woman on my
list who recently lost her husband,
says a writer in the New York Times.
The mar had been an industrious,
sober, self-respecting citizen and had
provided a good home for his wife

that his illness was of long duration

nursing brought me to their door.

A Tariff for Humhun Only.

The Florida Times-Union is moved
proposition to put a tariff on cotton
seed oil, sentiments in keeping with
the title we have quoted from it's re-
marks. The only amendment to be
suggested to the Times-Union's re-
marks is that this is but one of a
myriad of duties that are for humbug
only to deceive the people, while the
duties that fitch the money from their
pockets may be submitted to. The
Times-Union says:
"Of course, there may be some peo-
pie who do not know, but Senator AL
drich certainly knows that a tariff on
cotton seed oil is a tariff for humbug
only. The play to the grandstand that
the distinguished senator from Rhode
Island made the other day was not up
to the level of men of his size. OF
course, the tariff on cotton seed oil
yields no revenue worth mentioning.
As Senator Aldrich stated only 202
gallons of such oil we're imported last
year, valued at $81, and yielding a
revenue of $8.2S, but his statement
that the tariff or it was for protection
HSre and simple was rubbish pure and
simple. The duty on cotton seed oil is
for humbug pure and simple. The cot
ton growers don't manufacture their
cotton seed into oil. Why any mar
should advocate a duty ON cotton seed
oil we cannot see nor can we see why
any man should oppose it except on
the ground that it is a humbug, and
that ink is wasted in printing it. A
tariff on moonshine would accomplish
about as much"

POETIC JUSTICE
Copyright. 1903. by J. B. Llppincott Coz
By NELLIE SLAYToN AURNER

Mrs. Bascom was a poetess. For
ten years the Nodaway County News
had published her contributions in the
poets corner (Mr. Bascom was a lead.
Ing grocer and always advertised in
the News), and frequently the editor
referred to "our gifted sister," even
going so far at one time as to style
her our Missouri Sappho." All this
was very gratifying to Mrs. Bascom,
but she longed for a wider r%ecogni-
ton of her genius.

Poems of the Heart, by Mrs. Alonzo

to all her friends, and as these were
numerous the edition was soon ex-

Fol a time Mrs. Bascom's poet soul
basked in the light of the gold letters
that glowed upon her from the center
tables of her friends at societies.
teas or afternoon calls; but at last
even gold letters began to pail, and
she cast about for some means of
gaining a fresh tribute to her genius.
