Democratic falsehood is the only
ground on which that charge can
rest. Hut it can be demonstrated
with mathematical accuracy that
there is a five-cent democratic

over $7,000 a day puts in such cost

row but not to the same extent as
city people, and as a rule they use
their credit to much heller advan

over 89per cent of the farm mort
gages that have been examined
were incurred for the purchase of
additional real estate and nearly
nil of the remaining 20 per cent
were to make improvements buy
live stock, or invest in some form.
The money was borrowed because
the fanners believed they could
make more out of it than they would
have to pay in interest. The amount
borrowed and spent for living ex
penses is insignificant.
PURE FOOD IN CONGRESS.
The net of congress atithori.ing
the examination of the baking pow
ders hi's resulted in a most unpre
cedented compliment to the Royal
baking powder. The tests were
made in the government laboratory
at Washington, anil the official re
ports shows that the royal is super
ior to all others in leavening
strength - being over thirty per
cent, above the average. The re
port also shows the purity of the
royal powders and the wholesome
nens of its ingredients.
This is probably the Ingest comp
liment of an official character ever
paid to a proprietary article,
through no more thau the grea
army ot nuking powder consumers
would expect in behalf of their old
friend and favorite.
The result, of the official examina
tion, as thus determined, will, of
course, make the Iioyal the
standard for government purchase.
OROWUH OP FOREIGN COMMERCE
UNDER THE MKINLEY TARIFF.
The following facts, taken from
official records, dispose of the mul
titude of theories', to say nothing of
countless democratic falsehoods:
1. Our imports of merchandise in
H'Jl were $028,312.IH."), about $T),(KX).()tl0
greater than in 1. x)7.78(S.l2 great
er than in 18S!) and $r.'ti,4"iO,210 larger
thau the annual average for ten
years.
2. During ItWl our imports of
merchandise free ef duty were of
the value of $420,320,779, an increase
in free imports of $139,708,451 over
im and uu increase of $168,162,299
over value of like imports of 1879,
- . i ... iri . the
,891 pas.57.87; in 1890,33.1; in ,88
4. The large increase in free im
and
ports of merchandise has been of
such articles as enter into the daily
consumption of the people.
5. The value of our exports in
1891 was $970,546,282, nearly a billion
of dollars, exceeding the exports of
1899 by the sum of f 113.C03.734, and
of 18H9 by the sum of $143,499,935, or
the average annual value for ten
years by the sum of $206,563,150.
6. This immense increase in ex
ports has largely been in bread-
stuffs, cotton provisions, and nian-
ufaclores of iron, steel, cotton, and
copper.
r Thebalauce of trade in our
favor in 1891 was $142,193,036.
8. The reciprocity clause sf the
new tariff has opened new maiLcis
for our produce and increased our
exports.
9. Our total foreign trade in ibvi
was of the value of $1,798,811,928, an
increase of $H7,918,654f over total
foreign trade of 1891, of $201,179,07
over 1889, and of $333,00Br3C7 over Hit
annual average for ten years
10. Hi ilish trade is declining; the
trade of the United States is wonder
fuHv advancing. Thus do the facts I
and figures completely refute and 1
overthrow every assertion made by I
(he opponents of the new tariff in I
relal ion to its probable or possible
effects upon our foreign commence
and at that time, rema table as it I
may seen, of all the nations of thel
car.h prosperity exists only in the I
United States.
THE FAILURE OF JUSTICE.
It is a no, o, ions faei, as slated by
U tilled Stales Judge l'arker in a re
cent charge to a grand jury, that
the enforcement of ci itninal law in
this country is by no means a per
fect success. For example, the
number of know murders coin
milled during the last two years
was hmwj, ana oniy .mm oi uie
murderers suffered death for the
crime. Moreover, of these 552, only
230 were executed in pursuance of I
law, while 323 were disposed of by
the lynching process. J udge Park
er estimates that the undiscovered
murders outnumber the discovered
ones, Which goes to show that
hardly one homicide in fifty is duly
punished. The same is true in a
relative degree of other crimes. A
hr'gc proportion of them are never
deieoed; a majority of the guilty
larties are never caught, even
when their identity is known; and
in the cases of those who are ar
rested nud tried, more are acquit
led than convicted. There must be
grave defects in our system of criin-
nal jurisprudence, or this remark
able iailuie of justice would not
ensue. We Have plenty oi com is
and officers, but somehow they do
not serve the purpose of bringing
evil-doers to judgment and punish
inents with proper celerity and cer
taintly.
In the opinion of Judge l'arker
there are several reasons for Ibis
unsatisfactory condition. The
carelessness ol courts, the preva
lence of perjury, the use of corrupt
ing inlluences, and above nil, the
Indifference of the sources of mis
chief that he mentions. It is not
to be doubted thai the courts are
too much disposed flct criminals
escapes on technical grounds.
There is always a lawyer ready to
defend a culprit by the use of all
known forms of strategy and soph
islry, and juries permit themselves
to be swayed by arguments that
are addressed to their prejudices
and their sympathies instead of
their reason. In the event of con
viction, a pretext is readily found
for granting a new trial, and that
usually means n reversal of the
first verdict. The highest judicial
tribunals are not above listening to
special pleas and interfering with
the vindication of the law by order
ing additional proceedings where
there is no reasonable doubt as to
the question of guilt. It is true,
also, that money, social power, and
other agencies are employed to
riiie! i Ihr f Jiw' vA w i at the
prosecution. The people are much
t blame, undoubtedly, and the
remedy lies chiefly in their hands
Public sentiment is the controlling
force in this as in all other matters,
and the law will be enforced with
more success whenever that senti
ment demands such action with
suitable clearance ami earuestnes.

AVERAGE RATE PER CENT.
Free trade dishonesty and deceit
is nowhere more conspicuous than
in tne statement regarding the aver
age ad valorem rate of duty.
The subject is at best a chimercial
one.
It is like chasing rainbows to at
tempt to calcuate or anticipate
future average.
It cannot be more thau guessed at,
for the average rate does not ch
peud on the rate of duty, but on the
valne and amount of importations
Thus the average ad valorem rate
may change from year to year,
while there has been jio change in
tariff whatever,
" S l-oT.
duty collected.
This will not be a true average,
but perhaps the nearest that can be
computed.
Every free trade paper in the
country is still maintaining mat
the average rate under the McKin-
ley la - iff is 60 per cent. Now, what
are the actual facts?
The lastetst figures at hand are
those ending September 30, 1891.
During the 12 months ending on
that day our impoita were valued
as follows:
Free of duty W9,56,9.87
Dutiable 4i3,zn,i75.i
Total $ffl2,68H,auG.15
Total duties collected (luring
these B months J193.OIO.IOM8
It will be seen, then, that during
the 12 months ending September 30,
1891, the average ra'e of duty on
dutiable impoi is was 47 per cent,
while on total imporvs, the honest
way of reckoning, it was only 23
per ceut.
Free trader is not only dishonest
in his amount, but he uses a dis
honest method in getting at it. He
only computes the rate ou dutiable
imporis. Ity this mode of ret.kon-
ing Great Britian's average rate is
nearly (X) per cent suppose $HOO,000,
CO worlh of imports all came in
duty free wi'Ji the exception of f 100-
u)U wo. ill, upon wh en we collected
$.0,0o) duty. Would our average
rate of duty be 50 per cent.'
The fact is, a nea.ly as we can
catenate it, that our present am-
luge rale is only per cent -less
than atany time since 1891.
THE release of farm mortgages in
Kansas for November, lMUl, in ex
cess of mortgages recorded, show
a net reduction of almost half a
million dollars. For a state that
sends a calamity prophet like Con
gressman Simpson as its represen
tative to congress, this is a pretty
fair showing, especially when we
consider the enormous prices for
all the necessaries of life, which
the poor farmers have had to pay
ion account of the "iniquitous
tariff. May the good work go on,

Henry 8. Leigh,
LOST OX THE DESERT.
I now had every reason to believe
that I was lost, yet a half hope that I
miirht find some trail leading to tho
other side tolled me on. The inn was
low in tlm west, and long shadows
stretched from the rocky peaks over
the bleak brown hills. A lonely fel-
iin' of fear and lmhlcd plans came over
me. Night was approaching; I was
lost in the desert hills, without water
and without irrass that which would
enable me to escape.
The scenerv rrcw more wild and
broken, and the path a mere wind-swei
alley between bowlders, traveled only
by the coyote and the mountain sneep.
Siories about mountain lions, bears,
travelers dying of thirst, crowded to
my mind. 1 lie trail passed out ironi
the rocks to the side of a deep narrow
canon, where, from a few hundred feet
below, came tho cheering sound of
trickling water.
This gave me a moment's hope, but
at the same instant I heard the croak
of a raven as it sailed away from a jut
ting ledge below. 1 was an intruder
upon a solitude which perhaps no man
hail ever entered before. Tho bird im
mediately Hew back towards me, com
ing directly overhead, crying in the
muffled voice common to its tribe.
This black omen w ith it glossy plumes
and rasping voice was a depressing
accompaniment to the already dis
couraging train of events. Again and
again it tlew so near that I could hear
the whir of its wings. Was it tho
portent of my fate? Was this black
spirit, ravenbodied, croaking my re-
iiuemf Verily, the thought was
natural even to an unsuperstitious
mind. If it should 11 v at my horses
head in one of those lieree plunges its
aim would be aeemnplished. for a few
steps out of the way would hurl us, a
erushed mass, on the rocks below.
It had followed me several hundred
feet along the elill's; I could not bear
the strain upon my already Vira-sed
feelings any lunger, and in one of it.4
wheeling Mights I seized my gun from
the saddle, and wit h a snap-shot sent
it tumbling into the gorge. I heard
a prolonged croul, as of out w ilted
lienilisli intention. and toy sable enemy
HI to the ground helnw my hol-e,
even, seemed to show relief in; a sigh,
and "forged along in better mood."
The canon imw spread out into a

rose before me. I followed the canon

scant .t ream of water would sink;
again it nvi; i -ickh-.a -lender thread,
oyer slale and lime rocks. 1 was
several tlioii-aiel feet above the desert,
close under the snowy back of old San
.Jacinto, and the night was growing
cold.' The lat sunlight had di-appearei
from the eastern hills, the twilight
would soon fade from the defile. The
iicluresiiuenes of the place forced it
self upon me in sidle of the trembled
gloom of my outlook.
The end had come. Il now appeared.
indeed, that 1 had been wrongly in
formed. Directly before me was a wall
of rock, barring further progress. A
few crevices and open seams made
scant footing for mountain sheep, and
it was bv their trail 1 had been led
astray.
I he moon, now nearly full, was ris
ing over the hills, rellecting from the
white ridges, and throwing black
shadows into the ravine. 1 kindled
lire, tied my horse wear a few tufts of
bunch-grass, and dug a hole at the base
of a rock to catch the slowly flowing
water. Alter gathering nil the wood

The long night, doubly Ion"- with
pain of body and mind, at last gave
way to dawn. I climbed a tall clifl,
bill could see only I he lonely desert
rocks and scanty cactus: r
n of a
ranch anywhere. I hastily planned to
retrace my tracks to l'aiiu Springs,
giving up without one pang of regret
the eagerly projected journey nimig
the coa.l ml hw ai d. lint it w as no
easy matter to follow the circuitous
trail by which 1 had come, ;uid to take

had fared ewu worse than I. w ilh noth
ing but lough, illiceless bunch-grass,
and nothing to sustain his terrified
mind. Hy si'i'iiied as anxious to get
away as I, and broke into a lope over
every level stretch.
The I wo deer w e had .scared from
their resting ulace the night before
were evid uilly old settlers, for on
rounding an angle I saw them feeding
in a Hat below. Near by the sharp
tracks of wild sheep were common.
I was anxious to gel a near view of
these shaggy big-horns. the mobt strik
ing of North American mammals
This was a good opportunity, as their
tracks were fresh ami they could not
leave the canon without being seen. I
had scarcely come to the gulch where
I had descended from the bluff, when
a noise on the canon side caught my
ear. There they were, six splendid
fellows, standing facing me with their
big Imns heavily poised on short.
hcny-sct necks and shoulders. If I
had had a ritle of good range I could
easily have shot some of them, but it
would have seemed a crime to liarm
the desert-dwellers. As il was, J hedged
them in somewhat, for they could
ttcilhergo up nor down the canon
without passing nearer to me;. so up the
rugged cliffs they sprang, zigzag and
by straight leaps, never once missing
a foothold.
I worked my way up on the bluff;
there had been but little wind on this
side, and I followed my tracks better
than 1 had dared to expect, (ilaucing
back I saw the big-horns on a knoll,
sn i fling and tossing their heads.
It was past noon when i came on ton
the
lulls overlooking the desert.
Never before hail that forbidding basin
appeared so lovely. A few clouds
floated over the mountains, shading it
here and there; while sunshine flooded
the rest. Away off to the northwest
were the yellow eottonwoods and the
tit ranch-houses about the swings.

and
"My lirst case," said n well-known
Harlem lawyer to a N. Y. Cuiiimrrcial
Aitvirli.ii r man, '"was a very unique
one. An Irish family of the name of
Murphy, living upon the rocks in one
of the fa.st disappearing remnants of
Shanty-tow n, were fraudulently evicted
from their tumbledown cabin by a
rascally landlord. The practical head
of the household was the xvife, and she
determined to tight the matter out.
For throe weeks the Murphys.children,
f uruit ure and all, lived in the back
yard of their former home with noth
ing between them and heaven but a
flimsy tent made of old sheets, while
Mrs. Murphy tramped around town
looking for a lawyer who would tako
their case for nothing.
"One day she charged into my ofliee
and told me her story with the stereo
typed exactness that conies from fre
quent repetition. The ease fseemed to
be a worthy one, and as I wasn't over
burdened with work I agreed to tako it
free of charge and reinstate the Mur
phys in their dilapidated homestead.
She wanted to get out a free, summons
against the landlord and waive several
other small but necessary expenses,
but I told her it would be 'mere politic
to pay these, as the total would not
amount to
"Fotve dollars!' she cried; 'divil a
chit have the Murphys seen since mo
husband losht his job wan month ago,
and the lasht blissed thing thim pawn
brokers '11 take they're got already.'
When I offered to loan lier the money
she went ino such a rage that I
apologized abjectly. 'He the pnwoji!'
she exclaimed, after pacing the floor
for about ten minutes, d forgot wan
thing! Wait, misther, an' I'll be back
in an hour!'
