IN free of duty. If, however, he purchases a
ship, steamboat, schooner or any other kind
or vessel meant to transport passengers or
merchandise, he has to paw a heavy tax to get
that species of water-craft into one of our
ports.
Now, if you will reflect upon this discrim-
nation in favor of the rich pleasure seeker.
against the patriotic business man, YOU will
see how it hurts. The pleasure-boat cannot
possibly add anything to the useful wealth
and industry of the country; it adds nothing
to the output of mine or field or forest or
factory; 1t opens up no avenues of employ
ment which in their turn contribute to the
comfort and happiness of our fellow citizens:
yet, this purely selfish enjoyment of riches
is selected by our government for especial
favoritism and encoura cement
On the contrary, if vessels which carry pas
sengers and cargoes Of merchandise were
given the same generous treatment, think how
nationally beneficial would be the conse-
quences. Not only would thousands of
American ships and boats be empoying
American crews and earning the freight now
paid the foreign vessels, but our foreign COM
merce would be enormously expanded. There
would be an increased sale of American pro-
ducts of every kind. This, in turn, would
stimulate their production; and this as a
natural consequence, would augment the de-
mand for labor and raw materials At
glance, you can see an almost boundless en-
largement of American trade, American
revenues, American production and American
prosperity.
Why is it that our government will not
extend to the American sea-merchant the
same favor which is granted to the pleasure
seeking millionaire? Why is it that the
American merchant is not allowed to buy
HIS vessel wherever he can get it cheapest
and bring it into our ports on the same terms
the pleasure yacht enjoys? Why is it that

deep water TO" the carriage of merchandise
from one seaport to another. While it is
true that the United States can boast of
larger number of ships and steamboats, that
are engaged in this line of business, than any
other nation, it is fact that the greater num-
Der of them are engaged on the Great Lakes
or in the trade between one American seaport
and another.
Consequently, the American flag is not
seen upon the ocean as often as that of
France, Germany or Great Britain This
fact causes the subsidized press to agonize
constantly and noisily. The editors who con-
tend that the comparative absence of our flag
from the high seas is national calamity,
never explain how it came to pass that, while
we had the Walker Tariff in operation-a low
Tariff imposed for revenue rather than pro-
tection-American ships, flying the American
az, did nearly all of our maritime business;
whereas the extremely high and protective
tariffs inflicted upon the country by the
Republican party have caused the American
vessel flying the American flag, to become
almost rarity upon the high seas.
Now, [ am going to tell you something
which you will find difficult to believe but
which is, nevertheless startling fact. ANY
sort of vessel which an American citizen pur-
chases for his pleasure, is allowed to come
into this country, free of charge; but any
kind of water craft which he buys for the
purpose of doing business, is taxed at the
Custom-house at rate which is practically
prohibitory.
In other words, if one of our millionaires
goes or sends abroad and buys magnificent
yacht, naptha launch, house-boat or pleasure
boat of any kind, he is privileged to bring it

Why did you follow the example set by
Slippery Seely?
In the Augusta Chronicle and Macon Teze-

you, the salaried Secretary of the Board of
Trustees, did not know how the supplies for
the Home are purchased. Your idea of keep

your method Of keeping yourself in two
offices, one of which you have held ever since
we served together in the Legislature in 1892
No matter who else goes out, you stay in.
How do you contrive it, Tip?
[ remember that our mutual friend, Watts
OF Stewart, told me that you were slick
one, and not over-scrupulous. Your agility in
adjusting your sails to every change of wind
proves you an artist in petty politics.
Did you, last year, get your salary increased
from $1,000 year, to very much larger
sum?
Do you get $3.50 year for attending four
meetings of the trustees?
Does the Board examine the gouohers of
DIR. Fox? Does it ever test the honesty of
those accounts? Is any inquiry ever made
into the actual prices paid by DR.. Fox and
the actual amount of the provisions deZivered
at the Home?
You say that you didn't kn0a0 that DR.. Foe
acted as purchasing agemt-are the other Off
Gals of the Board equally ignorant?
Isn't it a fact that DR.. Fox is the whole
cheese; and that the Trustees let him do as
he pleases, without ever making the slightest
examination?
Were all of you unaware of the fact that
two-horse wagon makes regular trips to At
lanta, every week; and that DR.. Fox buys the
provisions, IN small quantities and at retail
prices?
Is that your idea of business and economy,
Tip? Does DR.. Fox pay taxes on any prop
erty? Is he the bondsman of Force? Why
was he accepted as bondsman, if he pays no
taxes?

Vote Sellers Confess

West Union, Ohio, Dec, 3d.
The Adams county grand Jury to-
day returned seventy-three o
Indictments and more than fifty
persons appeared and pleaded
guilty in connection with the in
vestigation of Wholesale vote sell
ing in elections. A majority of
them were DISTINGUISHED for five
years and fined s5 to SIS. The total
indicted now is 1,141.
A man 81 years old, who was fin
ed after pleading guilty said that
vote buying conditions have ex-
listed in Adams county since he
vas a boy. Judge Blair expressed
the opinion that there was an ar
rangement for vote buying by both
the Republican and Democratic
party managers. or the 400 vot-
ers who have been before him each
one said he had never been ap-
preached by more than one or two
precinct workers, thus indicating
that each n had his own list to
look after.
A Tifin township voter SO years
old, admitted he had sold his vote
for si1. John Sopher, a negro,
who was among the first TO plead
not guilty and demanded a trial
by Jury, admitted his guilt and was
assessed % and DISTINGUISHED for
five years.
When first accused, Sopher was
very indignant. He said he had
voted the straight Republican tick
ct for years and had never been
asked to vote for any other.
John McNoy, a farmer, pleaded
not guilty today and demanded a
Jury trial. On his way home, how
ever, he changed his mind and re-
turned and was fined SIS and costs
and was disfranchised.

$500 FOR THREE DAYS WORK

Vsg9
Last year the extension department
OF tho Kansas State Agricultural col
lege issued a circ"lar urging disking
wheat Immediately .o.iowiag the head
or, to be plowed two OF three weeks
later, Most Of the farmers thought
this would be too much trouble for the
increase In yield It might bring. but a
boy In Edwards county persuaded his
father to let him have thirty acres on
which to try that plan. His older
brother also had thirty acres adjoining
his field. which he put In In the Or
binary way, the same as his father did
1000 acres. The soil was the same.
the seed wheat was the same, and the
rainfall was the same.
The only factor that difued In the
history OF the crop was The disking Of
the wheat stubble Immediately after
the header. Yet the wheat thrashed
out forty-six bushels and ten pounds
to the acre for the ground that had
been 20 treated, and the brothers yield
was only twenty-five bushels. That
was about tho average Cor the 1000
acres OF the farm also. Wheat at 90
cents would pay the ooy who eisked
before time to plow about $500 for
three days work.

The discussion also has surprised
the British out OF their insularity 4
and given them quite a new in

that thinkers here, and politicians
