Sen. Ashurst on the Tariff

Senator Henry F. Ashurst of Arizona. as soon as the new tar If bill was made public, received a deluge of telegrams from con- stituents and organizations in. his state asking him, although a dem ocrat, to oppose the tariff bill. The Arizona senator's answer consisted of a letter to some con- stituents, from which the follow ing extracts were taken:
 In asking me to oppose any reduction in the tariff on beef, mutton, cattle, sheep, raw wool, woollen goods, and leather goods you surely must have been under the impression that I was a stand pat republican instead of a pro- gressive democrat, The demo- cratic party is committed. so far as faith and honor can bind men, to reduce the tariff on the neces- saries of life; and could not take this action you request me to take unless 1 turn traitor to every principle 1 have been advocating. Every person in the world is a free trader after he gets his own interests protected. The cattle men want cattle, meats and hides protected. but want to buy every thing else as cheaply as possible. The woolgrowers want wool pro- tected, but naturally desire to purchase everything else as cheaply as they may. The pine apple growers want everything on the free list but the pineapples; the sewing-machine manufacturer wants sewing ma chimes protected and so on down the line.
 "I am always glad to please my friends in Arizona, but I can n6t do what you ask. I shall not vote to permit one set of men to make money improperly at the expense of the whole public. No legitimate business should re- quire a gift, bounty or largess from the government. If the democratic party. after the prom ises it has made to the people to reduce the tariff, should then be- gin to equivocate, it would be the end and ought to be the end-of the democratic party.
 With kindest personal regards
 Yours cordially,
 Henry F. Ashurst. " Winslow Mail.

Respected but by those who know thee

Respected by the farmer not at all.
Thou enemy of gardens great and small:

Tomato plants and lettuces TO blight
And gnawest all the stems for yards

And ieavest whiting tops upon the ground,
And crawlest back then, ere the morning
light.
And leavest hut hole TO mark thy eight;

That curlest thyself tightly In ring,

Where thou vast hidden, near severed

No more shalt thou nocturnal damage do.
Thy fell career OF ravaging is through.
No more shalt thou crawl out and eat thy

And slaughter pansies and sweet peas at

No more shalt thou such havoc wreak. by
gosh!

The Average Man.

His face had the grlmness Of granite;
1t was bleached and bronzcd by tho sun.
Like the coat on his poor, narrow shoul-
And his hands showed the work ne had
done.
His dim eyes were weary and patient.
And he smiled through his pallor and
tan
A wistful. sad smile, as II saying,
I'm only an average man.
II can't be a hero or poet.
Nor a dictator wearing a crown;
I'm only the hard working servant
OF those set above me. I'm down;
I'm down, and it's no use complaining,
III get on the best way can,
And one O. these days II come morning
And rest for the average man."
He wages all battles and wins them,
He builds all turrets that tower
Over walls Of the city TO tell
OF the rulers and priests OF the hour.
Without him the general IL helpless.
The earth but place and plan;
He moves all and clothes all ana feeds all,
This sad smiling average man.
Then ] lifted my hand in a promise.
With teeth set close, and my breath
Held hard IN my throat, and I uttered
vow that shall outiive death.
1 swear that the builder no longer
To me shall be less than the plan.
Henceforward be guerdoon and glory.
And hope for the average man.
