Representative Rucker, of Missourt, rubs inon the Republicans of the House the cold fact that they are fo alliance to rob both the wage-work- er and the farmer by the stubborn and stolid support of the Dingley tariff _ The farmers have told their side of the story often enough, the last time in the Reciprocity Convention. It is simply that they have to pay heavy tribute to the trusts for every manu- , factured article they buy, while the ; . prohibitive tariff invites retaliation from foreign nations, thus injuring the foreign market for American farm products. The robbery of the wage-earner is a little more complex, but not the less certain and oppressive. He pays taxes to the protected trusts on every manufactured article he buys. But shis is not all. The trusts have, through the aid of the protective tariff, obtained monopolies of all the principal industries, except agricul- ture, and they dictate the prices of \ labor as well as of commodities. ~ The industrial wage-earner, in whatever capacity he worke, must accept the pay which the trusts agree among themeelves to pay, for the combinations formed under protec- tion of the tariff destroy competition among employers of labor. There has been some increase, of in the last seven or eight years, but taking {nto account the increased cost of living, the wage earner ig worse off now than he was before the Dingley tariff went into Sunshine Through Snow Herd pniiens of Sarees Cig couse of JUDGE GANTT’S ADDRESS |Urges Them to Join Their Local ‘|{|preme Court, Major General com {|manding the Confederate soldiers and sailors of Missouri, following letter urging those who bore arms in behalf of the South to join one of the camps now so numer ous throughout the State.

Weighing a ton and made especially to his order, the is, therefore, exceedingly important that every Confederate soldier should unite himeelf with one of the Confed. erate camps of the state, so that in case of misfortune, the Commander and Adjutant of his camp can certify to his service and enrollment in the Confederate Army, and to his worthi- ness to receive aid at “The Home.” In view of these facts, as Command- er of the Missouri Division of United Confederate Veterans, I earnestly re- quest every ex-Confederate soldier and sallor within the State of Mis- souri to join one of the camps now organized in this State at once, if not already a member.

Iu place of corn growing, but not to the ueglect of that industry, Missouri has takeu up meat packing to the amount of $60,000,000 last year, Tobucco yielded $30,000,000, and malt liquors $25,000,000, The trade in boots and shoer, in which St. Louis is & formidable rival of Boston, was $25,000,000, and in foundry | macuine shop products, made protic. | are able through the recent development of Missouri’s iron, lead and zine mines, $20,000,000, Instead of be- ing # distinctively agricultural state, Misaour! has become one of the chief manufacturing states of thecountry.

Eugene, Ore., March 12.—The chief of police, Joseph S. Stiles, committed suicide by shooting himself in the head. His body was found in an old tannery building on the outskirts of the city. Stiles was 50 years old a man of family and a member of the Christian church, The cause of the deed is supposed to be his con- nection with an investig ition by the grand jury in connection with a statutory charge, combined with giving liquor to young girls. Con- stable Virgil Rowland was indicted as aresult of these investigations, and it {s asserted that other indict- ments are probable.

The increse of thesaloon license fee in Ohicago from $500 to $1,000 was @ notable victory forthe cause of public order and decency. The $500 fee was an absurdity for alarge city. It encouraged the multiplication of low resorts that were responsiv!e for the abnormal criminal conditions of | Chicago. The excessive number of crimes of violence in the city this winter and the evident insufficiency of the police force combined to suggest the need of increasing the saloon license. With the fee raised to $1,000 it was anticlpated that the number of saloons would decline from 7,509 to 6,000 or even to 5,000. At the same time the revenue available for police purposes would be increased by from 1 to2\ million dollars. Thus it was evidently possible by one move to diminish the sources of crime and to provide for 1,000 more policemen.
