The platform adopted by the Mis- souri democracy at St. Joseph last week commits the party squarely and unequivocally to the cause of tariff reform. The policy of taxing the necessities of life is vigorously denounced, and the present system of high protection is characterized as unjust, inequitable and iniquitous. The platform also protests against all forms of class legislation and de- mands the enactment of laws which will prevent the formation of trusts and monopolies for the restriction of trade. It is, in the main, a strong and popular declaration of princi- ples, though too long and verbose, and gives special emphasis to those issues in which the great body of T C.

ULLMAN BUFFETT SLEEPING CARS A Pike county stock-breeder in an interview with a Post-Dispatch re- porter, says: “The army now owns more Missouri horses three times over than animals from all the other states put together. Missouri, and Missouri alone, seems to produce the style of animal required for cav- alry and general wagon service. This ought to open the eyes of horse-buyers all over the United States to the fact that St. Louis is the best place in which to buy horses that are intended for general use.” He further says: “The very best sad- dle horse for ordinary use that the country can produce is bred in Mis- jsouri.” A horse that will pass in- spection for use in a cavalry service is generally good for all purposes, and the fact that there are so many of them used in the army isa high testimonial to the value of the horses | of Missouri.

Express Companies Protest. Jefferson City, Mo., June 18.— United States Marshal Tracy this morning served notices on State Auditor Seibert aud Attorney Gen- eral Wood notifying them that the Adams and the Pacific ex- press companies would apply to Judge Philips on the 23d of this month for an injunction restraining them from proceeding against said express companies to enforce the penalty for failure to pay a tax of $2 on every $100 of their gross earn- ings. The law requiring express companies to pay this tax was pass- ed at the last session of the general j assembly and it is embodied in sec- | tions 7,767 and 7,768, R. S. 1889. |A hearing will be had at Kansas | City on the date mentioned. { | | The farmers of Icwa have been so unmercifully fleeced in the matter of binding twine that the state au- thorities have purchased a plant for the manufacture of twine in the pen- itentiary. And now the binding twine trust has instructed its Iowa agents to sell the manilla for 17 cts, sisal 15 cts, lily 14 cts, buttercup 15 cts, and jute rose 12 cents per pound. Thisis a great reduction in price. Other states might follow the example of Iowa much to the ad- vantage of the farmers. If it is for the good of the people, let the jail bird be pitted against the vultures who prey upon the public. We are not much in favor of the competi- tion of convict labor with legitimate business, but such labor may well be used against the operations of the unconvicted rascals who are en- gaged in plundering the honest masses by means of the trust, the combine and the monopoly.—Boon- ville Advertiser.
