He has rational utterances. Among the reasons Mr. Carlisle gives why the democratic party should be retained in powers are the following: “Much has already been done dur ing the present administration to re claim lands conditionally granted to railroads and other corporations, to annul fraudulent entries, to prevent unlawful enclosures and to protect the timber and minerals upon the public domain; but the work is still incomplete, and it will require addi- tional legislation and constant vigil- ance upon the part of those charged with the administration of the laws to prevent the improper appropria- tion of a large part of the most val- uable territory belonging to the gov- ernment. In order to do this the c-operation of the legislative and ex- NORTH MAIN STREET, BUTLER, MO. Atteation given to CUSTOM Wok Such as Roll Carding, Carding. Spinning and Weaving.

Even now, when the magnitude of the evil is almost universally recog- aized; the demand for immediate re- form is urgently pressed by the homeless labor of the country, the republican senate either refuses to act atvall, or proceeds slowly or re- luetantly to the consideration of the 6ubject.. On the other hand, the democratic house has been earnest and active in its efforts to secure: éuch changes in the laws as will dedicate the public lands to actual settlers: under the homestead law, and has even gone so far as to amend the rules in order to give such meas- ures preference over other business.” Another most important question Mr. Carlisle holds is the reduction of the revenue and taxation. He Says: “The only debatable question is, in what manner shall the revenueand taxation be reduced? Upon this Question the two political parties are divided, although there are some re- publicaus who are inclined to take the democratic view, and some dem- ocrats who favor the republican pol- icy. It is clear that it is Possible to reduce the revenue without reducing Harrisburg to Pittsburg, 248 miles Pittsburg to Indianapolis, 381 miles Indianapolis to St. Louis, 240 mileg St. Louis to Chicago, 282 miles Chicago to Milwaukee, 85 miles Milwaukee to Madison, 82 miles Madison to St. Paul, 270 miles; St Paul to Minneapolis, 10 miles; Minn. eapolis to Omaha, 380 miles; Omahs to Kansas City, 197 miles; Kansas City to Memphis, 487 miles; Mem- phis to Nashville, 230 miles; Nash- ville to Atlanta, 291 miles; Atlanta to Montgomery, 175 miles; Mont- gomery to Morristown, 388 miles; Morristown to Salisbury, 233 miles; Salisbury to Danville, 97 miles; Dan. ville to Washington, 233 miles.

Seventy-five years ago, when the republic was in its infancy, our ships of war won im- perishable renown in the conflict with Great Britain, the boasted mistress of the seas, and up to the beginning of the late civil war more than three-fourths of our foreign commerce was carried in our own vessels. Now, after twenty-four years of republican domination, we have no naval establishment worthy of the name, and scarcely more than one-seventh part of our carrying trade is done by American ships. Free ships and liberal laws for the regulation of trade, instead of re- Strictive legislation and unfriendly taxation, would do more in a few years to restore our merchant ma- rine and increase our commerce with South America and other parts of the world than was accomplished during all the time the republican party had charge of the government” BUTLER, MO., MAYsth, 1887, J.

The rates of taxation upon amported goods might be made so high that all importations would cease, and the. government would thus be prevented from collecting any revenue whatever from that source, but this would not diminish éaxation, upon the people. On the contrary it would greatly increase their burdens, but they would be compelled to pay the whole tribute to the domestic producer of the du- tiable goods, instead of paying a Part of it to the government, as they do now.” Mr. Carlisle thinks the democratic plan the best. He says: “To reduce both revenue and tax ation at the same time is the prob- Jém now presented, and the true democratic solution is to abolish as far as practicable the taxes on the actual necessities of life and on the raw materials used in their produce. tion, and to revise. simplify and in Froper cases reduce the articles em- braced in the tariff schedules.

I wanted some, but wouldn't steai, so I thought I'd ask you to give me a few.” Struck by the boy's honesty, the gentleman gave him a capful of pears, but directed the gardener to follow him. The man did so, and reported that the boy ran around the corner, where he found two of his companions, who were dividing the stolen pears, and, adding his own supply to theirs, exclaimed: “He bit like a sucker, boys.” ing like it as an antidote for the emg OME mb and comfort which surround the 2 a) ©. va) a aa bp 4 Gi Mustang fs Keepa Bottic inthe House, Tis the economy.
