Senator Cummins (Rep.) so lowa, said in an interview the other day that the tariff is no longer an issue between the Republicans and Democratic parties, but that it is an issue between two elements of the Republican party. This statement so far as it relates to the Democratic party, is silly. The Democratic party stands for a tariff for public purposes and in the interest of the masses. On the other hand, the Republican party stands for a tariff for private purposes and in the interest of a few favorites. The Republican factions are merely fighting over the question as to how much plundering of the people should be legalized by a tariff law. Democrats are opposed to this plundering' in any degree. Richard Sears- a member of the firm of Sears & Roebuck, the noted mail order house of Chicago, has disposed of his interest in the firm for $25,000,000. Twenty-five million dollars is a large sum. It is so large that the ordinary man can scarcely comprehend what it means. It means money enough to buy Jay county, and this vast sum was accumulated in the space of seventeen years by selling goods to people by mail. This twenty-five million does not represent all the profits of the concern during this time, for there are several , stockholders who profited proportionately. The very fact that one man made so much clear money in so 1 short a time is evidence that the firm , is reaping big profits from those who j patronize it. They /are selling in-

ferior goods for good prices. There are no home merchants who have piled up twenty-five million dollars in the past seventeen years selling goods; there are none who have piled up the one-thousandth part of that vast sum. Then why send your money away from home to amass fortunes for strangers, when you can do your own town and your own county some good by buying at home? It is at home that you must look for buyers of your products, and it is to home concerns that you owe

THE LAST CHANCE If You Want to See the Orpheum Company You Will Have to Go Tonight HAVE PLEASED MANY During the Week Here and Leave With Reputation of Being Strong The Orpheum Stock company will close their weeks engagement here this evening when they will give one of the best shows they have on their list, “In the Mouth of the Cannon.” This company has made many friends here during the week, and if they ever return Mr. Bosse will have to build an addition to accommodate the crowds. The show is certainly a worthy one, and those who went any evening during the week got their money’s worth. Last night they gave "Sherlock Holmes” a detective drama and it pleased every man and woman and child who was there. The company adds much interest, by clever specialties between acts. They carry all their own scenery and all the properties and every actor is a star. It is certain that they are as advertised, a big city show’, for one will see no better no difference w’here he hunts for it. This is the last opportunity you will have to see them for some time, and if you are wise you will get a seat for the performance this evening. If you are not satisfied *You can get your money back, but not a person has asked for the fulfillment of this guarantee this ■week, and its safe to say that none will.
