FRIDAY, DEC. 1 1803,

A sna" for making mouey
easily now a days is to contract, on
a wrcMik with a county court,
get up a "present owuership map"
and collect from the county for un
aKsed lauds. When tlie maps
arefiutehed they are all Greek, as
far as the court is concerned, aud
the county Days a big bill and w
no at value iu return. Over in
Washington that ,nap" was played
out ten years ago. Over there mey
elect business men for county com
mlssioners. and pay the assessor i
decent salary, and as a consequent
such "fake" methods cannot be
"wai-Vm!" Lake county has
agreed to pay eighteen per cent.
How manv years will it be be
fore the rich and fertile lands of
the West Side will be cut np into
small tracts aud every farmer will
have a telephone, aud electric pow
er to do his wood sawing, churn
nr. water Dumping, etc., and elec
frin trains to carrv passengers aud
freightto the commercial centers!
The farmers who offer encourage
incut to such an enterprise will be
the first on to receive uic great
benefits which will result in mak
ing farm life more pleasant and
profitable. "
The Sew Tariff.
The new Uriir presented to tuecoun
trybyUie democratic party l a com
posit measure, aud not In wwrdumv
with the tariff plank ot the democratic
platform of a tariff for revenue only
that waa agreed to at Chicago. The
free trade party waa elected Into power
upon IU pledge of giving the country a
tariff for revenue only. They have e-
eured the votes of the people under falw
preteDiea. Once elected to the office,
and now In power, they have failed to
redeem their pledge. The new tariff,
u proposed, will not supply iofflelent
revenue for the needs of tbe govern
ment, but will diminish revenue by
nearly 150,000,000 annually, and this,
too, at a time when the treasury la de
pleted and the government must have
recourse to temporary measure for ip
plying funds to paylta daily debta.
There was no such need of thin under a
republican administration, which re
duced the annual debt by millions aud
millions of dollars. Directly tbe dem
ocratlo party gets Its fingers upon the
finances of the country, however, the
ftxnenditurea exceed the income
and the debt increases, so thai
a new issun of bouds may have to tie
made, or money must be borrowed, In
anticipation of Its being earned, upon
the security of government notes, treas
ury bills, or I. O. U's, or whatever else
they like to call them. JEe.
McKlnley on Tariff Change.
Every reduction of the tariff will be
followed by a reduction of wages.
Every cut in the tariff rate will be
followed by a cut In the wage rates. The
proposed tariff legislation is an uner
ring blow at labor which will be In
stantly felt In the home of every oper
ative In the United States, The friewU
of protection should not now falter.
Tbe fight is only begun . If temnorari ly
lost, it is not to be.given up. Courage
was never more needed and never more
expected by the people from their rep
resentatives than now. It is the de
mand of the hour and the requirement
of the situation. ' The tlnkerers of the
tariff should be thwarted. Thoy should
be opposed at every step In the pro
gramme of destruction. Bepubllcans
and democrats who believe in the pro
tective system, In congress, should stand
together In resisting every effort to
weaken or destroy it. If it is at lust
to be accmplished, let none of the re
sponsibility rest upon us. In a time
like the present, with Idle men and idle
mills, platforms to the roar and theories
to tbe winds, the voice of partisanship
should have no voice in our councils;
the voice of pat rlntlmu alone should U
heard, Let there 1 no yielding of prlu
clplea; no compromise which shall de
spoil our workshops and degrade our
liibor.-WMIsm MoKlnluy.
