BUTLER MISSOURI. WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 14, 1887 BUTLER WEEKLY TIMES TARIFF ISSUE. Much is expected of the next Con- gress on the tariff question. The democratic party has the power in the House to pass reasonable tariff measures to relieve the excessive strain now laid upon the people in | the interest of monopolies. The democratic policy on this question, it seems to us, is very reasonable. It recognizes the fact that indirect taxation for revenue is easier paid and much more satisfactory to the — | great majority of tax payers, and The opening of the National Agri-| therefore does not ask the abolition cultura!

Two weeks ago, in its salutatory, (pre- sumably written by its new editor) it was decidedly pronounced in its Independent views; last week it was cepublican, and we shudder to think what it may become by its next issue, but we trust it will not be nihilistic or support the Henry George party. SSS Qur exchanges are too hard on Sam Small for confessing that he was 8 ballot box stuffer. There may be something in Small’s Christianity, incomprehensible to the average edi- tor, that compels a man to confess all dirty and contemptible tricks af the case we shudder to contemplate what the result might -be should one of these editors forswear worldly pleas- —_—_—_—_—_—_—_—_—_— Wheat is also reported very high. I am satisfied that the State has re- ceived one of the largest wheat crops Batavia. It has killed half a dozen on the republican side. A tree is known by the fruit it bears. Randall is not a democrat, and the sooner this is appreciated and he is driven out of the fold, the better will it be for democracy, for as long as he is pampered and toasted in the party ranks, just so long will he carry with him a follow:ng of democrats. The action of the 60th Congress will have great weight in determining the re- sult of the next presidential election. The success or failure of the party may depend upon its actions.

The undersigned citizens be lieving that the material and moral condition of our county would be greatly enhanced by the adoption of the “Local Option Law,” we take this means of calling upa the friends of the measure, to meet in | mass convention, at the court house in Butler on the 17th day of Sep- tember, 1887, at 2 o'clock p. m for the purpose of considering the mat- ter of petitioning the county court to order an election at such time as may be decided upon, and for the formation of an organization inthe county to promote the success of the cause. Let every citizen of Bates county, ladies included, who take interest in this measure be present at the time and place above mentioned.

A magnificent dis- play of fruit and farm products was had, superior to any display of the kind ever exhibited in this portion of the state. There were about 1,500 plates of fruit. such as apples, pears, peaches, grapes, etc., besides farm products of every description, mak- ing a grand display rarely wituessed more than once inaman’s life. There was a large attendance, people being present from all portions of the county. Among the prominent per- sons from abroad were noticed: L. A. Goodman, secretary of the State Harticultural Society, and Mr. Chub- butt of the Rural World. An old- fashioned picnic dinner was served and every person on the ground was bountifully feasted. The day was beautiful; the display was made on long tables artistically j arranged in separate apartments, and everything passed off pleasantly and satisfactory. An effort was made in the afternoon to raise money to carry the display to the K. C. Exposition, and upwards of $100 was raised. The Bates county Horticultural So- ciety may be congratulated upon this very creditable display of horticultu- ral matter and the success of their first annual fair. They should en- deavor to make this an established institution of Bates county. The following is the list of the premiums awarded: CLAS A—FRUITS. Best collection of fraits, grown by exhi- bitor,G. W.
