It has always been the policy of the democraticand republican parties to encourage full and free discus sions on all the great political ques- tions of the day, and both parties, believing they were right, encourag- ed their members to study both sides of these questions. How is it with the union labor party in this county? The leaders not only advise a boycott of the other papers, but instruct their converts not to go to shear the speakers of the other par- ties, and a strong appeal was made t) keep them away from democratic primaries. In other words they ‘want to keep the great mass of vot- ers in ignorance in order to se- cure their votes. That is the way the Czar of Russia controls his sub- jects. The gifted orator, the forcible forensic speaker and brilliant edito- rial writer for the official organ of _ the dure party, challenges the edi- | tors ofthe Democrat and Times ' jointly, we presume, to a discussion of the first and third paragraphs of the democratic state platform. To & common man of ordinary intelli- gence the meaning of the paragraphs, couched in the plainest of English, is apparent, but to one of so supe- (® ‘ior intelligence and great learning .2s that possessed by Carroll, no wonder that subtle meanings are hidden in each. He starts ouc with the following hyperbole: “In consonance with the policy of the democratic party of Missouri, you assert that the state | platform of your party adopted at ~ St. Joseph, on the 1th day of June is identical with and embodies all of _ the essential principles of the state F.&L. U. and union labor plat- forms.” We assert no such thing, sand toa gentleman with the vast * learning to which he pretends such ; a mistake is unpardonable. You - latter yourself when you think that we lend such dignity to your party | as toclassit with the F.& L. U.as ' an order or the democratic party as a political organization. - Our time is too precious to be ranting over the county slinging {mud with such as Carroll, and our if space too valuable to devote to such - rotashe dishes out to his readers weekly through the Union. St. Joseph, Mo., Sept. 18—Wil- lian: Hitt, a sufferer from rheuma- tism, was advised by friends to take Ssponge bath in alcohol and dry | himself with artifical heat. He took > the bath and then stood by an open f stove to drv off. The alcohol took : and in a second Hitt’s body was eloped in flames. He was £0 se- ly burned that he will die. The U. L. platform demands: “That a statute be enacted by our Legislature exempting at least two hundred dollars in value of person- al property from all taxation.” That is enact a law that will exempt agreat majority of these Union Labor fellows from taxation, for with a few exceptions they don't own $200 in personal property. How do our farmer friends who have labored hard from early morn unti! late at night for years and by indus- try and economy managed to ac- cumulate a little property, like that kind cf doctrine? Do you want topay the taxesjof these fellows who never did and never will accu- mulate any property? And then again, thisplatformhas: ~‘A reduct- ion of poll taxes and an increase in taxes on property for road purposes as a watter of justice for men of small’ means.” Yes, tha’s right. The farmer is not paying enough taxes now, and his burden should be increased in order to furnish good roads for these U. L. Speakers to travel over the county to promulgate said doctrine, while they are relieved of the necessity of assuming their share of the burden by working a day or two on the roads. The New Tariff and its Effects. Whatever is done with the Harri- son-Reed-McKinley tariff bill in the conference of the two house, which will continue to sit upon it this week the law as finally passed will stand on record as the most narrow mind- ed and short-sighted piece of legis- lationever enacted in Washington. The sharp advance in duties in every schedule against the protest of at least nine-tenths of the voting constituencies of the United States would indicate that the republican leaders were stricken with blindness but from the many evidences that they are acting under a fatal neces- sity from which there is no other escape. The promises made tc the protected monopolies two years ago would not be considered binding up to the point of party suicide. But if the promises are disregarded these same protected monopolies will not be so complaisant when next asked to submit to the fat fry- ing process. That is doubtless the simple se- cret of the crime which the republi- can party is about to perpetrate against the honest producers of the country by the enactment of this robber tariff law. The republicans know that the party has not the con- fidence of the American people, and they would be hopelessly beaten at any fair election at the polls. They are therefore preparing the way for a campaign of ualimited money both in the congressional elections this fall and the presidential election two years hence. There is no other ra- tional explanation for the unpopular and dangerous experiment in legis- lation upon which they have been busily engaged ever since congress assembled in December last. If the law does not bring « money crisis among the importers at the very outset, its blighting effects up- on the commercial interests at the whole country and upon the prosper- ity of the agricultural sections es pecially cannot be long postponed. Its first effect will be to stimulate prices in everything except farm proeudts. Business in manufactur- ed goods will be placed upon an in- flated basis and combinations of farmers will strive, by every effort that inginuity can contrive, to save themselves from ruin in the unequal contest by forcing upward the prices of their products. Smuggling, which always goes hand in hand with ex- orbitant tariff, and eventually com- petition between manufacturers shut upin the home market and threatened with ruin by over pro- duction, will ina year or two prick the bubble of high prices and in the collapse there is no telling what in- terests would go down. Already it has come to this that the secretary of the treasury has been compelled to assume the doubt- ful task of staving off a panic as an immediate result of putting the Mc- Kinley tariff into effect. He tele- graphed Mr. Harrison the other day that he was “fully advised,” and would take all “necessary steps” to keep the market steady. This dis- patch is the bitterest satire that could be uttered upon the financial folly and greed of the republican congress. It is an open admission that the impending tariff legislation ; Fifty Spasms a Day. 1 Had Mrs. H. A. Gardner, of Vis- has created deep rooted financial dis-| tula, Ind., lived two thousand years order which can be temporarially remedied only by the wisdom of Secretary Windom using the great resources of the United States treas ury under the advice and counsel of interested bankers and operators in New York. At least one great panic —that of Black Friday in September 1868—resulted from exactly similar cause, and theomniscience of Win- dom is not sowell established as to inspire confidence that he will carry the country safely through the finan- cial complications which the repub licans in congress are creating. But whatever may come of the snarl in which the banks. the manu- facturers and the importers, are involved, the farmer is sure to suffer in the enhanced cost of all he buys. And this in face of the demonstrated fact that he, above all others, needed lower tariff taxes instead of higher. He asked for bread and the republicans in congress have given him a stone.—St. Louis Re- public. A plain example of the workings of the increased duty on tin plates as provided by the Mckinley bill is clearly demonstrated in the recent purchases of the Cheatham Canning Co. They have bought this season 120,000, cans in lots of 40,000. The first 40,000 cost them an even $1,000. At that time there was lit- tle thought that the McKinley bill would be passed. The next lot was bought some weeks afterwards. at a time when the passage of the bill was very much in doubt. This lot cost 1,080. The last lot was hought since it became assured that the McKinley bill would become a law. This !ot cost $1,400, or $400 more than the first lot The original pric? of the tin in allthe cans was the same, but when the passage of the McKiulev bill became sure the importers and manufactures took ad- vantage of it and at once raised the price of the stock they already had on hand to compare closely with what it will be in a few months when the new schedule goes into ef- fect, well knowing that the price of tin plate would raise at that time in direct proportion to the increased ago she would have been thought to be possessed by evil spirits. She was subject to nervous prostration, headaches, dizziness, backache, pal- pitation of the heart and forty or fif- ty spasms a day. Though having been treated by eight physicians for years without success, she was per-! manently cured by one bottle of Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine. and a finely illustrated treatise free at H. L.

This is but a drop in the bucket when the iniquities of the McKinley bill are under consideration.— Warrensburg Journal-Democrat. The Washington correspondent of the St. Louis Republic has the following to say of Senator Geo. G. Vest’s speech in closeing the tariff debate: “Senator Vest’s speech was the effort of the day. It was proper that Senator Vest should formally close the debate as he hus taken the lead on the democratic side during the discussion. Senator Vest is the ablest debater now in congress, and is acknowledged to be such by re- publicans and democrats alike. There are many senators and many representatives who can make a set speech, but there are very few who, like Vest, can make set speeches every day in the week and conduct a rattling and brilliant debate for five or six hours in the day after the delivery. Scarcely a day has passed since the tariff bill was laid before the Senate for discussion that Vest has not made all the way from one to ten speeches—some short, some long, all of them pertinent and _bril- liant and all of them listened to with attention by all present. No eulogy on Senator Vest’s speech can come up to the standard of the speech itself.” Trustee's Sale. Wheras, Mary E. Stark and R. J. Starx, her husband, by their deed ot trust dated July 17th, 1890, and recorded ir the recorder’s office within and tor Bates county, Missouri, in book No. 92 page 66 conveyed to the undersigned trustee the tollowing described real es- tate lying and being situate in the coun- ty of Bates and state ot Missouri, to-wit: The northwest quarter of section fitteen (15) in township terty-one (47) range twenty-nine (29|, containing one hun- dred and sixty acres more or less, which conveyance was made in trust to secure the payment of one certain note fully de- scribed in said deed of trust; and where- as detault has been made in the payment of the principal of said note and more than one year’s accrued interest thereon, now past due and unpaid.
