November and 4, there will be pre-
ssnted the four act rural comedy dra-

musical numbers introduced between

WORK WANTED BY EX-SERVICE
MAN

There is in Manchester a young
man who served his country in the
trenches of France for some time
during the world war, and left be-
hind wife and child. For a time
after the war he managed to have
work and was able to earn a living
for those dependent on him. During
the, past summer it has been imposs-
IDLE for him to have steady work.
He has asked the officers of the Red
Cross to assist him in locating work.
He has no disposition to ask for char
ity, but is willing to work in order
to earn a living for his family. This
young man is deserving Of every con-
sideration at the hands of the good
people of this place, and anyone who
has work will confer favor upon
him and the Red Cross by notifying
either Rev. A. o. Knapp, county chair
man of the Red Cross, or Fred w.

HUGHES, STORE IS ENTERED.

E. M Hughes dry goods store was
entered some time during last We'd
nesday night and large number o.
fur pieces were taken. An Illinois
Central freight conductor discovered
a package lying in an open door way
of a freight car in the yards, and
reported this to the night operator
who in turn notified Mr.. Hughes. Off,
GERS were soon on the track OF the
thief, with the result that negro

the charges and will not come across
with the names of an accomplish, If
in fact there were any. Officers have
found that the negro did not give his
true name after being arrested. He
is said to have come to Manchester
on freight, and stopped at the River
Side hotel for lunch, and at that
time was wearing a pair of blue over
alls. When arrested he was attired
in different clothes. The clerk at the
hotel gave the man a Buffalo nickle
in change, and notices that he slipped
the nickle in the left pocket. The
greater number of pieces of fur were
packed away in the legs of the over
alls, and the Buffalo nickle was also
! found in the left hand pocket. 1t
begins to look as if the officers are
holding the right man for the theft.
The fur pieces were somewhat scat
tered about town. One piece was
found in the yard Of Alex Robinson
near the Illinois Central tracks. The
little hangers were left in the yarC
also, and in his hurry to make away
with the valuables the thief failed e

THE FRAUD ON THE FARMER.


The Fordney emergency tariff enacted
last May placed duty of rs cents a
bushel on wheat and Is cents on corn
in the avowed purpose of enabling the
farmer to command higher prices
whatever might happen to the con-
sumner.
When that law went into effect
wheat was selling in the Chicago mar
ket at $1.53 a bushel and corn at So
cents a bushel.- Yesterday wheat sold
in the same market at $1.05 and corn
at 46, Wheat, instead of rising by
the full amount of the duty, has fall
len by almost double the amount, and
corn is down II cents under tariff
which Joe" Fordney asked the farm
ers to believe would boost the price
Is cents.-N. Y. World.
A short time before he retired from
office President Wilson vetoed this
emergency tariff bill, for the alleged
benefit of farmers, for the reason
that it could not possibly help to in
crease the price Of farm products,
and was not even a we'll disguised
deception. Now they, know that Will
son had the thing "doped" about

ROY DELp GETS IN BAD.

Readers of the Democrat will recall
that some time ago officers of Della
ware and Clayton Counties made raid
on certain properties in or near Edge

quantities of home brew were cap
tured. Roy Delp, formerly of this
city, was one Of the parties involved
in the deal. The officers at Elkader
took Mr.. Delp in hand and recently
he plead guilty to the charge Of SELL
ing intoxicating liquor and was fined
$500. He refused to pay the fine and
is now serving ninty day sentence

FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS PILING

Reserve Banks, compiled during the
present month, show that these banks
hold S2,72S, 100000 in gold compared
with 1892, 1O1, 100000 year ago.
Estimating the population of the coun-
try at 188,800,006 this increase in the
gold reserves of the Federal Reserve
Banks during the past year equals
S736 for every man, woman and child

This boarding of gold by these gov
eminent banks is only part of the

JUDICIALLY SOUND OBJECTIONS
TO A SALES TAX.

The strongest objection to the Smoot
and other sales-tax schemes is not
that they are taxes on consumption
and add to the cost of living, but
that by increasing prices they direct
ly decrease consumption and thus
tend to lessen the demand for goods
and consequently for labor. The dis
honest propaganda for the sales tax
asserts that the adoption of additional
taxes on goods would help to relieve
the prevailing unemployment. On the
contrary, its direct effect would be to
diminish the purchasing power of the
great mass of consumers and serve
as check on productive industry.
1t is true that many merchants ia
vor the sales tax because it will ex-
empt them from the excess-profits tax,
and also because they believe that
they will not only be able to add
the sales tax to the price OF their
goods but in most cases to make a
profit on the amount of the tax. This
Al q WY view W TAKE
OF the tax problem, since it must be
clear that in the long run the profit
to be made through pyramiding of
taxes will be more than lost by rea-
son of lessened sales of merchandise,
The claim that the sales tax is a
painless tax" is equally unsound.
Why should billions of dollars, every
dollar of which must be produced by
labor, be taken from the people and
expended mostly for unproductive pur-
poses in ways that the taxpayer does
not know that he is being robbed OF
his property? The evil of oppressive
taxes, unjustly laid, is here 1t calls
for a remedy. Why seek to avoid
the issue by adopting new methods
of taxation that will enable the tax
eaters to pick the public's pockets
without arOusing a protest?
