Ktlltor Wkst Hiik ; Hevenl artlcht In the dally Oruuum of late liaik like the Insurance couiti!c were going to repeal the Valued Policy law, that Is, have It repealed. There are insuy things thst have not been aald aland this law that will be before It I re pealed. The leslslature at Its last session passed a law known a the Valued Pol icy Law, which provides that the amount written In a policy of Insurance shall be taken and deemed as the true value nf the property at the time of the loss, Thl value law was pawed in 1H82, and vetoed by the governor. The need of such a law was the only cause of Us passage In iW2, as there was a committee of Insurance men (nothing but a lobby) who made quite an effort to defeat the measure in both houses. The veto was what fixed the business for teu years, Whether there was a lobby or not, It was passed and became a law at the lust session. ' Insurance itgciitscnmmeiioed showing up Its bad features at once, and many of them are, good talkers, however, I never heard of a man that wanted his property Insured that objected to this law. That extra ten per cent, does not stop men from Insuring; they would rather pay It and know what they are Insured for. There are ninny cases where buildings are Insured for more than they should lie, and that Is why tills law Is needed, for the same reason Insurance companies dont want such a law, A building over-insured Is better for the company than tho owner ot the property. The company gets a larger premium, If a lists occurs, than they should have. The owner gets 1(HKI, where he paid a premium on $1,100. Under tho new law the company loses one-third of their ptemlum In such a case. Because they don't over-Insure, the owner of property docs not pay so large a premium, and there are fewer remaiks about over-Insurance. Owners of adjoining property don't have to rush off and Increase their Insurance for fear of greater danger by over-lnsur-auce. This Is a good law and should not be repealed, N, D.

Many of the old guard are busily en gaged In criticising and abusing the bridge that carried them over tbt stream after camping In the woods In the vicinity of the ford for twenty-five years. We csmped In the wilderness md voted and voted and wandered iround sud voted sgaln. In lftQ4 we voted for Mctlctluud; In 1W we voted for Hcymotir, In 172 we voted for Gree ley (then we were gnswtug it file) In 179 we voted for Tllden, (then wt thought day was breaking) In 1XX0 wt voted for llaucock, (then we went Into winter quarters ou short ration,) in lw4 our Moses came capering out upon the green swsrd aud wt voted for Clevclund and won, (be first winning vote since we voted for Buchanan be fore the war. Many of us did not like Cleveland's civil service proclivities, but Just what we did not like made hi nomination and election possible. Oh, tow we whooped, hurrahed and jubi lated I We thought we had tbt earth by the forelock, We were In it up to our shins. But my dear fellow demo crat of Callaway, our Moses sprung the Issue of tariff reform upon the oouutry In a message and In 1888 wa with our Moses retired Into the Wil derness and gnawed pawpaw bark off the bushes for four years, while the re publicans walluwed In luxurious fat--nces with a hundred million dollars In the treasury. With the president and both bouses of congress the republicans turned fllpflspt and ate fresh mackerel. They pasred the MeKlnl y "bill aud granted pensions. They bathed In col ogne water and used the most expen sive perfumes. We crawled around on our abdomen under the table from which not a crumb fell. Wt bowled fur tariff reloim all the time with a pension fraud chorus Interspersed with a looted treasury and a billion dollar congress. Atsut six months prior to the con vention In 1HM our Muses wrote a letter denouncing the Klierman law for the purchase of silver, which made hit nomination possible. We western dem ocrats pawed the earth and kicked acorns out of the tallest osk trees. We swished our ptsjteriur sppendages aud put both hind feet outside of the traces, but we quieted down aud became as docile as lambs. Our Moses stood firm, looked us full lu the face uuder the cir cumstances aud said he was for pension reform, for tarift reform, and under ex isting cireunistauecs, opposed to the free aud uulimlted coinage of silver. We all knew Just where be stood. lie played his light baud upon the table all the time. He was conslsteut, he deceived no one. We met at Chicago. The politician for the most part were opsjsed to him. He had but few friend In the Uuited Hlates senate. The peqde, the farmers and laboring lieople ail over the conutry were for him. He was nomluated against the protest of poll'Mau and senators. He swept the country. The issue which he sprang in lisjvi euabled us to capture the entire bakery executive, senate aud bouse, and now we are howling aud gnashing our teeth aud abusing the only man that we have been able to elect for thirty years. - Had Mr. Cleveland followed your plans and pol icies and pursused the course which would have met with your entire ap- pun si, we would today as a party, my dear democrats of Missouri, be out of power aud ground uuder tho heel of the trusts, monopolies and combine of the East- Now it Is about time to stop all of this abuse and wrangling. Stop cursing, abusing aud crlucixlug the only mau that you can elect, got into Hue and stand up for your own leader. Get into line and stand your grouud aud turn a deaf ear to those mlsluformed aud vinegar-faced Jour nalists who would make you believe that Mr. Cleveland was oue of the meanest men now living and that the action of congress was the quia tease net of all lufamies aud that if need be force shall be used. If you are a democrat talk like oue, if not you ought to get out. Midwinter Fair.
