low TARIFF. Low PRICES.

A New York dispatch says that
Australian beef and mutton are being
imported and sold on the markets
there. The importer says he can pay
the transportation charges and the
duty and undersell western beef three
cents o pound. A very little Of that
will force down the price Of packing
house meats and bring correspond
ing cut in the price of livestock. And
the problem Of protective tariff can
be again studied by many Kansans
with first hand knowledge. Many of
us want those articles protected
which we have to sell and those arti-
cles duty free which we have to buy.
If the duty is removed from the one
thing we sell, we demand the removal
from all we have to buy. Any pro-
tectlve tariff is based on selfish IN
terest--natlonal, In some cases--but
inspired by individual selfishness.
The pro6r Ger wants his raw material
protected, the manufacturer wants
mis- finished product protected, the
laborer wants his wage protected,

KANSAS REPUBLrcANs.


When Governor Stubs defied his
opponents to bring out q candidate
against him in the August Primaries
he smiled his big good-humoret
smile Of confidence because he felt
secure in his position. Today that
smile Of confidence has faded 1t is
now evident that Mr. Stubs is fac
ing the first real political battle of
his life Not only has he formid-
able opponent in Tom Wagstaff, but
to characterize every meeting Of reg
Thursday was an overwhelming DEM
onstratlon of old-time party spirit
and enthusiasm that could not be
laughed away. II the governor
wanted a fight he has got 1t, says the
Journal, and from now on Stubs
must contest every inch of the
ground in struggle for self-preser-
walton.
Kansas Republicans have asserted
themselves in a way that leaves no
room for doubt. Heretofore 1t has
been the habit of the "reformers"
to characterize every meeting of reg
ular Republicans in Topeka as con-
vocation Of Corporation hirelings,"
railroad attorneys" and "ringsters."
The Topeka meeting was attended
by more than 1000 Republicans from
all parts of the state and represent
ed all walks Of life. There were
farmers who left their plows, mer-
chants who dropped their business,
professional men and others, who
pail their railroad fares to the state
capital with the sole purpose OF help
ing to redeem Kansas from the DOM
nation of tAe Performers" In all
that gathering there was scarcely a
man who was believed to be tainted
with Insurgency or who favored
a continuance of Stubs domination.
Every voice was raised in protest
against the present administration
and in favor of restoration OF pop
ular rule, of economical administra-
ton and of unadulterated Repub-
lcanism.
The Topeka meeting marked the
real beginning of state campaign
that promises to be one of the most
interesting. Kansas has known in
years. Not since the wild days OF
Populism has there been such strong
and convincing evidences of aroused
sentiment among the people OF the
state. This is not so much an or
ganized opposition. to Governor
Stubs personally as it is a protest
against the things that Stubs stands
for. The Republicans Of Kansas are
beginning to realize that they have
been led away from the party of
Lincoln, Grant, Mckinley, Roosevelt
and Taft. The Topeka meeting
showed that Kansas Republicans
want to return to safe and sane
ground. And that meeting was SO
important in itself that 1t cannot be
laughed down. Governor Stubs will
be forced to face the issue squarely.

A GOOD CASE.

congress in the Twentieth Illinois dis
trict, says the Republican party has
good case to present to the people,
1t is the case Of the protective tariff
against tariff for revenue only"
"As to cotton goods" he says, at
was found that fancy fabrics, laces,
figured goods and open work goods
out of which 'peek-a-boo' shirt waists
are made, by an error, coming in at
much the same rate of tariff as
cheese cloth and mosquito netting.
Changes we're made to prevent this,
and except for that the tariff on cot
ton goods was not raised. AS proof
of this Senator Clay of Georgia COM
planned that the tariff on the cheaper
cotton goods was not changed, and
that the raises occurred on the high
err priced fabrics, and he thought this
was a discrimination against the
south, which manufactured the
cheaper cloth.
Now, why protect cotton goods?
There are 10000 workers in the
cotton mills of the south and 1S0-
900 in the cotton mills of the north.
These all get more than double the
wages paid in Europe, according to
Mr.. Gompers. Also Japan In the
last five years has made wonderful
advance in the manufacture of cot
ton goods. The congressman from
this Twentieth Illinois district stated
in printed speech less than two
years ago that "the Japanese can
make a Dreadnaught equal to any
in the world and how long will it be
till they are making all the things
the American workman can maker"
They live on a cheap rice diet, and
they work, says this congressman, Eat
20 cents a day of IA hours"
Do we want nothing but tariff
for revenue only" against such COM
petition as that?
As to gloves, the tariff was not
raised on imported gloves, although
we import annually $S0,000,000
worth of women's gloves, which are
made in the cheap labor districts of
Europe, at wages which Mr.. Gompers
says are less than half what is paid
in America. Those European la
borers don't buy the products of the
American garden, orchard, nor the
eggs poultry. butter and vegetables
which the wives of our farmers are
SO anxious to sell.
Senator Tillman of South Carolina
says that every cotton mill in his
state is surrounded with large areas
of truck gardens supplying food to
the mill workers.
And Senator Simmons Of North |
Carolina stated in the senate that
the farmers of his state furnished
only two-thirds of the food required
by the workers in the cotton mills
and lumber camps of his state, and
North Carolina is obliged to call /
upon the great Mississippi Valley for
one-third of its food supply"
1t would be a different story to
tell II those labor employing fac
tories were in Europe or Japan.
