JI'KISLEY VS. ALLISON HE MAKES INROADS ON THE IOWAN S FENCES •trance that Western Agr.cnltnral Republicans Should Prefer the No* toriona Apoatle of High Tariff to Al-lioon-R* tecta on Their Intelligence. Ohioan Not a Statesman. The distressing news comes from Dee Moines that a pall o' gloom overshadow* the spa* »o lately glowing in the prismatic splendor* of the Allteoß presidential rockets. It was confidently expected two weeks ago that Sooth Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, and more occidental State* which hare been largely populated by emigrants from lowa would spout up responsive shower* from Allison.au fountains, wt’.eh would wax more and more glorious until the fullness of time in June. But it is not so. There were at first some answering spurts from one a another quarter, but it was painful... apparent that they were impelled by no high and permanent pressure. They hare fall* a away. Everywhere taere Is a discouraging la. k of enthusiasm. Even South Dakota. which was regarded as an own daughter of lowa, devotedly attached to her favorite son. is lukewarm and qntesccnt Everywhere the McKisil <_r pal.-s all other Ugb s McKinley elate are planted far and wide, and bud like Aaron’s rod and thrive like willow stumps upon the In lowa itself* ’Lt* chronicler hnth *L there is strange apathy. Every Republican pol.tbaan talk* Allison, indeed. and not one admit* a preference for the Ohio Naptdcc-n. All are mildly loyal to the home statesman, but they do not warm to him. and many of them ar* somewhat too ready to admit that after Allison McKinley is their first choice. What cm an* it? How comes it that McKinley is ti.e favorite in all th. Western States excepting lowa, while he stands second there only because Allison is a favorite son? All there is to comm* nd M Kial y to anyone as a pres lential cat. lidab- is his high-tariff record. Never in his life, either as a Congressman or as Governor of Ohio, has he given evidence of statesmanEx.n it. • ■ ;!• -3 routine work of the ccmm?t* -■ requiring no more tUa ordinary ability for its discharge, he :nu» not d-veh-i-d either business capacity or watch dog courage or extraordinary industry. Even as chairman of the committee „ brought f-. r.l, ti e measure which b.<ir« his name he did not distinguish himself in any way unb-ss it was by Baking himself a mere passive, nerveless instrument in the hand* of those who sought to grasp • share of the taxing power. It i* notorious that the protectee® and their attorneys who •warmed about the capitol were the real framer* of th* tariff of l®o. and that McKinley had little to do with it except to assist in registering the schedule* concocted by those worthies for the promotion of their own interests. Allison is much more of a man. He Is not a great statesman. He is not to be placed in the same category with Clay Webater, Lincoln and Sumner of • ce*s .1 pro- 1 .. com ~ u* iu ph? 1 < feBut he is as far si.;<erior to McKinley ** be is inf' r;-r to Lm-dn. He has considerable ability, be has exercised some Influence upon legislation and bls long legislative expert*®'* ha* not been wholly lost upon him. He is in experience. ability, judgment and tem-p-r vastly better fitted than McKinley for the office of pr -id*nt. It is strange, indeed, that th* Repub--11 can* of State* west of the Mississippi river, which are almost wholly agricul-

tural should prefer McKinley to Allison. It is strange that they should probe a man who in public life is nothing more than the agent and tool of the protected classes in pro.-ur.ng the legUl*i tioo enabling them to prey upon the agricultural class. The preference of Republicans of the distinctively agricultural States for such a man as William McKinley de** not speak well for their intelligence or their appreciation of their own interests.—Chicago ChroniAn Absurdity. The Dingley revenue bill <so-called' now pending in the Senate, which was rushed through the House in four hours, raise* the tariff duties on nearly all articles consumed in this country, and it* effect would be to check or prohibit the very importations which yield revenue. No more flagrantly absurd proposition was ever made. The Republican arithmetic, by which it is figured out that the proposed du ties on raw wools would bring in *14.000,000 of revenue, is based upon the false assumption that if the bill becomes a law and its high duties on wool take effect the importations of wool will be as lagge as they now are end r absolute freedom from duty. No sane person can believe that the imports of wool will not be greatly reduced if it should be taken •. ff the free list and put on the dutiable list. But. even if the restoration of the wool duties furnished some revenue, the effect of the Dingley high “protectionist" duties on two or three thousand other articles now imported would necessarily check and cut down the volume of these import* and thus reduce the revenue much more than the proposed woo! duties would enhance it The whole scheme of the Dingley tariff is “protectionist" in its nature. It is not a revenue bilL It cannot help the treasury, but if it should become a law its effect, for a year or more at least, would probably be to reduce the revenues of the Government and put the treasury "in a hole."—New York Herald. Voting Them.the. Donation*. The convention of textile manufacturers which has been hdd in Chicago. { and has bad its resolutions telegraphed • over the country, was evidently organized in the interest of the estimable gentlemen who attend ;d it. The ac-1 rton of this convention should have just i as much force in shaping public opin- ! ion as would have a convention made up of citizens of the United States who should meet together and vote that, as they were not as well off in this world - * ; goods as they would like to be. it was j rtwolved that the United States secre- ’ tary of the treasury be directed to pay each of them, out of money not otherwise appropriated, the sum of *IO,OOO a year for the rest of their natural lives. In other words, if there was the least probability that the demand would be heeded, any number of persons could be found willing to resolve that their fellow-citizens should tax themselves for their 'the resolvers’) benefit. This proceeding needs what, in vulgar language. is called gall, but then such protectionists as gathered in the convention at Chicago have an unlimited amount of this species of mental and moral audacity. Need of an Educational Campaign. The American public needs a new and d f -p campaign of education upon th* i an! commercial problems wi.W-b it is now emit routed with. A new order of things Las arisen, which must be intelligently met by all classes of our voters. The old and wornout theories of fiat and inflated money, protectionism, paternalism and free silver coinage must be discarded if a return of prosperity is desired by the American people.—New York Herald. Cbicazo Nomination* Are Lucky. Uocoln was nominat'd at Chicago and elected. Grant was nominated at Chicago and elected. Garfield wa* nom-

inated at Chicago and elected. Harrison wa* nominated at Chicago and elected. Cleveland wa* nominated twice at Chicago and elected. Candidate* nominated at St. Louis have not been a* fortunate. If there is any advantage In the location of the convention it would seem to be with the Democrat* this year.—Edwardsville Intellfc gencer. Cannot Conceal the Troth. The Republican Senator* need not imagine for a moment that they cat divert the attention of the country from their neglect of the country's busines* by firing off pyrote* hnical remark* about Great Britain. Turkey and other j foreign countries. The people know that the country is in a hole, and that it * a* put there by absurd Republican legislation. What they want to know is what the Republican Senate is going to do to get the • untry out of the hole. That is what it promised to do. That is what it was elected to do. and that is what it proposes not to do. And it cannot cover up its purpose by throwing dust.—lndianapolis Sentinel. Candidate- Morton’* Mediocre Rec or He has been Representative in Congress, Minister to France. Vice President of the United States and Governor of the Empire State of New York. In no position Las he Illustrated capacity for public service. The best that has ever been truthfully said of him or claimed for him is that he has been re-sp--ctable. good tempered and dignified. Nothing that be has ever said or done 1* remembered as of public importance. Until be became Governor nobody ever suspected that he was so entirely sub- 1 servient as he has proved to be tc Plart.—Utica Observer. Rarlenqne Devotion in the House* There is enough of reverence and religious sentiment in the House at Wash ingtun to prompt a growing protest at the burlesque of devotion which distln- : guisbes the prayers of the chaplain of th: tl dy. Th'-se prayers are nothing other than stump speeches on public matters, so phrased as to catch the popular drift, and in one or two in- j stances apparently inviting and in one instance actually receiving applause, j It is full time that these exhibitions of ; irreveren- e and bad taste be stopped.— : Springfield Republican. lllinr.i* Voters Not Consulted. The Springfield "love feast" was ’ nothing but a meeting of the Republi- | can Central Committee which the can- I didates for State offices and their hang- I era-on thought it advisable to attend. ' The bosses came to pull strings and the sub-bosses to aet as utility men. The fact that the leading journals of the Republican party accept the expressions from the bosses as the sentiments of the voters is sufficient evidence that the voters have no voice in the matter. —St. Louis Republic. Abusing Bayard and Neglecting Duty. Congress occupies its time in a partisan effort to censure Mr. Bayard for expressing an opinion not shared by a majority of Congress and in instructing the nations of the earth as to their duty, meanwhile neglecting its own duty to afford the people of the United States the sadly needed relief which it is in the power of Congress alone to afford.—Louisville Courier-Journal. Carrie* a Dirk tip Hi* Sleeve. Senator Foraker is looked upon b. his party associate* as the man who ■arries a dirk in his s«*ve. They never 1 know v!;o in to be hl* next victim, and they are very cautious aliout trusting him too far. This is not very complimentary to Foraker and he lias not been receiving any complimen’s since bis election.—Davenport Demotrat. Real Mcanin-of Morton’s Candidacy. The fact that Gov.

All travelers in South America art impressed by the wonderful endurance of the Indian couriers of Peru and Bolivia. A Frenchman declares that they filled him with admiration. The manner in which they journey over the Cordilleras on foot he pronounces astonishing. They climb and descend at the same pace. They speak rarely, scarcely ever complain, and never stop. If the traveler halt* for a moment to light a cigar, they are at on t- some hundreds of feet in advance. The gait is slow, but without relaxation. That is what makes them such incomparable couriers. Often when a man has a journey of several days to make, he takes his wife along: she tieara her baby upon her hack, and the dog follows. The husband carries the provisions. And this is how they travel: The Indian chews coca and spin* cotton. The wife sings to the baby, and spins also. They eat without halting, and make but the shortt-st stop to drink. Toward night, “to comfort themselves," they c«ew some “roasted beaus." I was escorted by an Indian and his family who traveled after this fashion. Rustic Physiology.
