The only one of the great tariff makers
who ever was elected president was Will
liam Mckinley, who gave his name to
the tariff act of 1890 although i'm fact
Senator Nelson W Aldrich had more to
do with the writing of the measure as
lit was enacted into law than did Maj
Mckinley.
In the long years between 1919. when
the democrats for the first time after the
civil war captured control Of the lower
branch of Congress, until 1880 neither
political party ever was in control OF
both houses of Congress at the same
time. IL the democrats had the House
the republicans controlled the Senate. and
vice versa. The divided control made
the enactment of general tariff law
pra cticaIy impossible The only excep-
ton was that in the two years of the
Forty-seventh Congress the House was
republican by a plurality of eight. and
there were ten sreenbac kers, who held
the balance Of power. while the Senate
had thirty EIGHT democrats, thirty-seven
republicans and David Davis Of Illinois.
who was an independent. This meant
that the Senate was practically evenly
divided. This Congress passed, and Pres
ident Arthur signed. bill creating a
tariff commission. That commission re-
ported back to the same Congress a
tariff bill involving a general reduction
of duties averaging about - per cent
The Senate made up a bill OF its own,
disresardng all of the more important
recommendations of the commission
which bill it attached to House in
ternal revenue measure. The Senate bill
was put through the House by virtue of
u special rule originating in the fertile
brain Of Thomas b. Reed. who was later
to revolutioniZe procedure in the House
of Representatives. This bill reduced the
tariff duties an average of about 10 per
cent.

Brought the Farmer n
Into Partnership. =

Mckinley is entitled to the credit Of con-
ceiving the general purpose and scope of
the measure. He rendered to the cause OF
protection an invaluable service when he
threw the mantle of discriminating duties
over the shoulders Of the American farm
err and thereby brought the farmer and
the manufacturer into common political
partnership. The duties on agricultural
products went through as reported by the
ways and means committee. with the sin
gle exception Of an alteration of the duty
on rice made by the Senate.
In principle these duties were. revived by
the Dinsley act and continued in the
Payne Aidrich law. and for ff.een years
there had been no serious attempt to re-
duce them in any fashion until President
Taft negotiated the reciprocity agreement
with Canada. which he has called the
present session of Congress to validity.

There should not be a scratch" "
on the Democrat ticket in Green
lee county it's good enough for
any Democrat and will prove good
enough for many Republicans.
If the majority of our party
say a man is good enough for a
nomination why have we right
to dispute that fact by scratching
the ticket? Wouldn we have
just the same right to dispute the
choice Of the people at the gener-
al election?
Personal enemity, private diff
ferences and the Whims of the
individual are not sufficient
ground, in our estimation, for op-
posing q choice made by the ma
jority of a great political party.
Principles are above personal
whims and notions and, the great
of Democracy are the
things for which we stand and
the majority of the party should
name it's nominees to carry out
it's priciples and platform.

that the voters of New Mexico

served to be defeated.

overwhelmingly of Republicans
so as to make the first

Judge Wells was a member of the
Constitutional Convention that
framed Arizona's great charter
and as such member he opposed
every progressive measure of that
misunderstanding that would
give the people, the laboring man

the government of the new state
not only was this his course

MENT WHEN HE COULD RE
FUSE TO SIGN CONSTITU-
TION. And, he did refuse.
This is Judge Wells record

The Arizona Fair has come and

The Arizona Fair has come and
gone and. beyond a doubt. was
the best this year in it's history
Arizona 'sgreat mineral resour-
ces were we'll represented; the
agricultural exhibits proved to
those who live in mining districts
and on the cattle ranches that
Arizona can produce everything
necessary for the sustenance of
life and, to those who were visi-
tors from a distance these exhi-
bits warranted calling Arizona an
agricultural section.
The live stock exhibits are grow
ing better every year and are
now reaching a point where a
most favorable comparison might
be made between Arizona and
eastern states much older. Min
ing, Stock and Agriculture are
the main things, these are the
the big things of Arizona but,
aside from these there were many
other things of interest and at
traction. The Educational exhibit
is beyond description in mere
words; to say it was good
is meaningless, the dog show was
good; to say it was grand does
not describe it, one has no idea
what grand" means used in this
connection. Such an educational
exhibit must be seen by an edu-
Gator or one interest directly in
the work of education to appre-
ciate fully the splendid exhibits at
the Fair, in this line. The Wo-
mans Building, filled with aer
work can be described better
when we tell you that there were
pies and cakes, jam and jellies on
exhibition. Woman's S needle work
and the one and a thousand things
were on exhibition to entertain
and inspire.
The automobile racing was 50
exciting that spectators stood on
tiptoe, even on the tops of their
seats, in almost breathless sus-
pense as they watched the speed
kings circle the track going at a
rate of oyer mile a minute. This
years automobile racing has de-
monstrated that people, the gen
eral public, take more interest in
this exciting feat than horse rae
ing or, most any other exhibition
that the civilized world now en-
cages in:
Arizona reminds US of a great
big county back east where every
body goes to the Fair to shake
hands, renew acquaintance,
make new friends and have a
kind of a general reunion. This
in connection with the exhibits
make the Arizona Fair renowned
and worth travelling from any
corner of the state to see.
