cost of living proceed thu diversity

trusts and secret combinations are
to blame; some enlarge on the in

except a protective tariff, ignoring

Facts for Farmers and Laboring
Men.

The Protective Tariff is the safe
guard of the PARTNERS and the mechan
les. Before the Mckinley or Dingley
bills we've passed this country was at
very low ebb. Business was pros
trated. The shops were many of them
closed, while others wree running on
ly on quarter or half time. The mon
in the shops we've earning scanty
wages, with work only a few days
in each week. Children were actually
starving for bread and strong men
begged for employment. This is no
fancy picture We are painting but a
statement Of cold facts, which hun
dreds ard thousands can still remem-
ber At last a change came. The dark
clouds aprted and out from under
them came the sunshine of prosperi-
ty that gladdened and warmed every
heart. The factory fires were Iekind-
led. out from the tall chimneys pour
ed the black smoke and from the
furnaces cagne the red glare That
cheered and blessed the workman in
the shops. This Is no fancy tale but
a statement of cold facts. What
brought the change? The Mckinley
bill was passed and from the very mo
ment the act became law the sun of
prosperity ehore out over all this
fair Land and the country was never
in all it's history so healthy and pros
porous. What was it that brought
the change? 1t was the Protective
Tariff law!

OHIO COUNTY
CITIZENS FLEECED
Invest in Sash Lock on The
Quiet.
Their Notes Were Discounted in
Bank, and Now they Want Lo-
thorp & Co. to Repay Them.

The following taken from the Ow-
ensboro Inquirer is, in main correct
and describes a diabolical scheme to
fleece a select few OF Ohio county
citizens:
Judge Birkhead returned from Hart
ford Saturday after finishing the
March term of court. While the court
was in session only about two weeks,
a large volume of business was dis
posed of. Perhaps the most Important
case tried, which resulted in some
sensational Developments being
brought out, was the actin OF James
II. Williams and B. S. Chamberlain
against c. S. Lothorp of Hope, Ark,
and ]. E. Blythe of Boonville, Miss.
The suit was for the cancellation OF
a note for $2SS, which the plaintiffs
had given the defendants for the right
to. sell a patent safety sash lock or
window fastener.
Lothorp and Blythe went to Ohio
county several months ago and rep
resented that they had letters patent
on a safety sash lock and finally sold
williams, who is mayor CT Hartfordand
Chamberlain, an Ohio county magis-
trate. the exclusive right to sell the
lock in Crittenden county, with the
privilege of selling it in Daviess, Han
cock, Grayson, Butler M, clean and
Muhlenberg counties. The considera-
ton was their negotiable note for
$2SS. All fasteners were to be pur-
chased from the factory of c. 3. Lo-
thorp and company, at 81 per dozen
and were TO be retailed at Sc per dbz-
en-, and one-half of the profits were
to go to the firm. The firm required
absolute secrecy in all of their bust
ness transactions, as they did not
want outsiders to know their bust
ness. Lothorp and Blythe remained
around Hartford about four days and
then left for parts unknown. Williams
|
their friends what a good thing they
had, and 1t soon leaked out that Lo-
thorp ard Blythe had worked the same
game on about " OF Is Of the best
citizens of Ohio county, each holding
the exclusive right to sell the patent
lock, their negotiable notes having
been executed and discounted in the
bank.
1t is estimated that Lothorp and
Blythe succeeded in securing about
$1,000 or $4,000 on the quiet" They
then left the country, and have not
been seen since. The patent is said
to be an inferior one, and sells for
80 cents, while other locks, which
are said to be much better, RETAIL at
20 cents.
The other citizens who are very
much interested in the decision of
Judge Birhkead are ]. c. Bennett,

be watched with MUCK interest. 4:
