U. order is founded upon the tvec psinciples and were it not for the enemies to the order who determine to rush it into polities for personal gains, it would flourish as a green bay tree. The members of sizalion have been repeated- ied that scheming politicians would capture it, but they have as persistently disregarded these warn- ings, coming from the head of their order in state and nation, and have been criptured by the enemy. As a consequence internal dissensions have arisen and the ides of Novem- ber will not have come before the F &L.

Pierce of Charlotte township, as a candidate for the office of coun-' ty treasurer, and in presenting his/ claims, we can, from an intimate ac- | quaintance of a number of years,| . say that for sobriety, honesty and integrity Mr. Pierce stands the equal ; of any man in this county. A native of East Tennessee, he came to this county in 1852, and in the year 1867, located on a farm in Charlotte town- ship, where he resided until about 1885, when, on account of the health of his family he moved to Butler to be more convenient to medical aid. However. he still owns his farm property in the above township, and each year gives tilling the soil there- of his especial attention. We will) add further that he is thoroughly | qualified to perform the duties of| the office, and would make the cour-| ty an accommodating and painstak- ing servant. As for his democracy that has never been questioned. Therefore we present his name for} your careful consideration. | A Model Platform. It would be difficult to improve upon the wording or the meaning of the tariff plank incorporated in the platform and adopted yesterday by the Illinois democrats. It reads: Realizing that a tariff is a tax we insist now, as heretofore, that such revenue as is required to honestly and economically administer the government, should be raised from internal revenue taxes and duties on articles of luxury, thus exempting and making cheaper all articles needed by the masses of the people. Three economic propositions of the utmost importauce are distinctly stated in that single sentence. They are: 1. The tariff is a tax. Judge Thurman during the last national campnign took every occasion to impress upon the people the truth of this statement, which is obscured by tl. - terms “protection,” “custom,” “tari it,” “duties,” ete. When a duty is imposed upon a foreign commodi ty and tha: commodity is imported, the consumer in this country pays the .overnment a tax for the privi- lege of importing it. When a duty on a foreign commodity is made so excessive that the purpose and ef- fect is to exclude that commodity, then the consumer pays an enhanced price for same or inferior commodity produced or manufactured in this country, which is equally atax levied on him for the benefit of the class engaged in the production or manu- facture of such commodity in this country. Thus the tariff is always a tax. 2. One of the resources com- mended for providing for the nec- essary expenses of the goyernment is from the internal revenue taxes— that is, taxes on whiskey and tobac- co. paid by the consumer, but they fall on men who indulge themselves with stimulants which they may forego without detriment to their health or comfort. Moreover, these taxes are paid in such insignificant installments that the consumer does not realize that he is paying them. That is to say, every man who takes a drink of beer or whisky, smokes a cigar or pipe, or takes a chew of tobacco, pays them, and there (in the price of the drink, smoke or chew) his proportion of the tax is levied. Both by reason of the character of the articles taxed and on account of the ease with which the taxes are paid, the whisky and tobacco taxes should always remain the chief re- sources of the government. 3. All taxes levied in the shape of import duties, which are necessary to defray the expenses of the gov- ernment, should be imposed upon articles of luxury, for the double reason that those who can afford to pay taxes and in order that the nec- essities of life may be released from all artificial incumbrance and made as cheap as possible. The Illinois democrats, probably prompted by ex-governor Palmer, have certainly stated the tariff ques- tion clearly and succinctly.—K. C. Star. Senator Ingall of Kansas, is said to be preparing a speech upon farm mortgages, but he can hardly ex- pect to attract wider attention by |/ive--ears. his remarks on this subject than Senator Hoar has already by his famous assertion that a mortgage on a farm is evidence of prosperity, and that the more of them there the merrier. Even the matchless elo- quence of Ingalls can’t beat that.— Boston Herald. | followed. These taxes, like all others, are |. PARTISAN USE OF CENSUS WORK ties Party Tools. Enumerators in Two Missouri ee | i Moberly, Mo., June 8.—All the census takers in Randolph county are of course, republicans, and are supposed to be obedient to their party leaders. Monday, when they | began work, each enumerator was furnished with a small book, with space for name, age, politics and postoffice address of every voter in his district. On the back of this little extra book was this suggestive title: “List of voters—Township, post- office, Randolph county, Missouri— Return to chairman central commit- tee. The men were instructed to do their work quietly. Some ofthe enumerators knew this was a direct violation of the law and refused to do this kind of work so an exposure The chairman of the re- publican central committee denies having anything to do with it except to advise those who asked his coun- sel that it was illegal and dan- gerous.

The Atchison Champion, which has been fighting Senator Ingalls from behind the brush for some months, comes out squarely against him in an editorial which appears in that paper this morning. The arti- cle is in reply to one which appeared| @ in the Lawrence Journal a few days ago, charging that the hostility of the Champion against Ingalls was based on purely personal grounds. Ihe Champion stoutly denies this, and declares that it opposes Ingalls because he has never done anything for Kansas, but has used his posi- tion simply to advance his personal interests —K. C.
