The editor of this paper in hi3 thirteen years in the harness as an editor and twenty years' work for the Republican party has never intentionally injured any man personally or politically within the party. He has passed by without adverse comment the shortcomings and impolitic sayings and doing of other workers in the party. He has covered hi3 own disappointments from the sight of his fellow workers and gone on with the fight for the other fellows. He is willing to do this now for the sake of harmony. He does not, ho wever.f eel called upon to sit mute and see and hear men read out of the Republican party, by men who have many times in the not distant past claimed the right of independent action after the party had named its candidates.

You perhaps speak that which you think to be true when you claim that you have always fought fair within the party. Opinions are not all alike on ATTOHNKVH.

I can not bring myself to believe that he would voluntarily publish such a charge. He says in the article that what we want is harmony in the party, and then proceeds to fire a bomb which he well new would create consternation and dissension in the ranks of the party. Mr. Ingalls never wrote any such letter, consequently it could not have been suppressed. That he was not invited by the executive committee of the league to enter the campaign is true as Mr.

Ingalls stated in his speech. As secretary of the Kansas Republican league it is my duty to carry out the instructions of the executive committee. I was never instructed to invite him. Consequently never did. That he did not "offer his services or go into the campaign as many others did and make his own dates and fix on localities to suit himself as many others did, Mr.

Ingalls can and no doubt will explain in his own terse and vigorous wav. The moment I read the article I declared that I had never received any such letter, and now all I ask of Mr. Walton in order to promote the harmony he. dpsires is that he publish my denial and the letter I have received from Mr Ingalls on the subject which I herewith enclose. I is not the proppr thing for the secretary of the league to scheme in the interests of nny man, and 1 have aimed to carry ont this idea.

They want to pass the Gatch bill making local option the law of the state. The Republicans favored letting the people take a direct vote on the question, thereby taking it out of politics. this subject, but that you have the right to fight, as an individual, as you please, none will deny, but as the editor of the only morning paper at the state capital your right to carry your personal tight ouatthe expense of party harmony is questioned.

The work of your youug i on the capital shortly after the senatorial appointment this winter was not of a character to create harmony in the party, neither was your attack on or criticism of Mr. Ingalls' League cluo speech.

produce. Notwithstanding the teachings of all the great statesmen of early times, our country has on several occasions experimented with low tariffs. In every instance the effects on agriculture were most disastrous. Senator Ewing of Ohio speaking of low tariff period immediately preceding the tariff of 1824, said: In short, every portion of the world was searched by our intelligent merchants, and all combined did not furnish a market adequate to our surplus productions. Every farmer in Ohio long new aud felt the presure consequent on this state of things.

Y'ear alter year their stacks of wheat stood unthreshed, scarcely worth the manual labor of separating the grain from the straw. So Jow was it reduced in comparison with manufactured articles that I have known 40 bushels of wheat given for a pair of boots. Colton's "Lite of Henry Clay" thus describes the wretched condition of agriculture under auother experiment with low tariff, before the protective act of 1812 came to the farmers rescue: In some parts of Pennsylvania the people were, obliged to divide bank notes into halves, quarters, eighths, and so on, and agree from necessity to use them as money. In Ohio, with all her abundance, it was hard to get money to piy taxes. 'The Sheriff of Muskingum cunty, as stated by the Guernsey Times in the summer of 1842, sold at auction one four-horse wagon at S5.50; ten hogs at 6 cents each; two horses (said to be worth 850 to 75 each) at $2 each; two cows at .51 each; a barrel of sugar at $1.50, and a store of goods at that rate.

In Pike County, Mo. as stated by tiie Hannibal Journal, the sheriff sold three horses at Si. 50 each; one large ox at 122 cents; five cows, two steers and one calf, the lot at twenty sheep at 13 cents each; twenty four hogs, the lot at 25 cents; one eight-day clock at $2 50; lot of tobacco, seven or eight hogsheads, at So; three stacks of hay, each at 25 cents, and one stack of fodder at 25 cents. So much for our own experience with low or revenue tariffs. England's example is no less instructive.

Before her adoption of free-trade her agriculture was the main source of her strength and wealth. It was armies drawn from English farms that won her victories, made her conquests and placed her the proud place she has occupied for centuries among the na-t ons of the earth. To day, eleven million acres of the best farm land in the world is lying waste in England, 200,000 persons an nually leaye the agricultural districts and the condition of British agriculture is simply deplorable. Free-trade has all but ruined the English farmer. So it lias ruined the Irish farmer.

So it has dealt with agriculture in India, la fact, our own experience and that of the whole world is that a revenue tariff means death to the farmer's pro.perity. On the other hand, see how constantly and greatly the condition of American farmers lias improved. Xever before could they get so great a quantity of the things they consume with so The declaration of war has been made by the railroad commissioners of Kansas on the one side and the railroad companies of the state on the other, and a big legal fight is on. The commissioners have issued their ultimatum to take effect March 16th, and whether the companies will submit peacefully or not is at this writing undetermined, but in view of their action in the past tour weeks it is to be presumed they will not. The commissioners nave ordered a flat rate of 15 cents a hundred pounds on sugar, to be put in force on the 6th inst.

from Kansas City to the big interior towns in this state. It bases this order on the agreement of the roads with the wholesale men of the state upon this rate about four weeks but which was rescinded at a later day, upon order of the eastern roads. The commission bases its decision on the proposition that the rates agreed upon by the companies were reasonable aud just, and after the withdrawal of these rates bythe companies, it left them, the railroads, in the position of charging unjust aud inequitable rates upon which gounds they are now attack t.d and will have to go into the courts to defend. The commissioners show by compar-tive tables of rates that the rates fixed by it aie really three times as high as is charged upon roads outside of Kansas, but adjacent thereto. The old rates were from four to six times higher per ten mile in Kansas than iu other contiguous territory.

In justification of its action the commission says: The demands of the grocers and the concession of the companies have form ed an agreement in a differential of 15 cents per hundred pounds on all points on the Missouri river re-rating liue to Salina, Hutchinson, Wichita and Arkansas City; and on canned goods, coffee and beans of 22 cents to Hutchinson and Wichita, and 23 cents to Arkansas City, over rates to such Missouri river re-rating line, the commission deems it wise and just to make a local rate corresponding to this agreed differential, and limited to the articles thus named and agreed upon. This action on the part of the respondent companies in naming a 15 cent addition to the Missouri river rate on sugar is in perfect, agreement with the judgment of the commission, which asked for a 45 cent through rate on that commodity from the south and east to the several jobbing points named in this controversy. Its voluntary concession, in the agreement, would seem to conclude the argument in support of a 15 cent rate from Missouri river points as at once reasonable and just. But the commission need not rest upon this recognition alone for its justification, inasmuch as these companies have voluntarily adopted, with the official sanction and authority of both the Western and trans-Missouri associations, both of which now appear as protestarctss. a much lower rate than this on sugar moved in all directions, and nearly v-erywhere except in Kansa3.

W. Met.k, County Clerk. The American Economist is answering a series cf 100 questions on the tariff problem, one of which wa3 propounded by E. A. McFarlaud, of this city.

The question was: "How does protection benefit the farmer Would he not be better off under free trade In answering these questions the Economist says: Protection was adopted by the founders of the government for the special purpose of benefitting farmers. The members of the first congress were nearly all either farmers themselves or represented farming constituencies. Agriculture was practically the only industry of the people, and they saw their produce rot on their hands year after year for want of a market for it. To create a market for this produce was the prime object of the early legislators. There was not a robber baron among them.

Their policy was a farmer's plicy pure and simple. Later the nw members agreed to it without a murmur. The new officers and exec help the matter to give the names here, or at any future time. Mr. Ingall's letter, a part of which is printed below, settles the matter as to the story as told by us.

His letter also to Mr. Uutterfield, as printed in that gentleman's card, is authority on the question. It was not the intention of the writer hereof to do other than justice to all parties at interest, but it seems that by the charge made he has done a grave injustice to Mr. Uutterfield and now desires to make all reparai ion in his pow democrats pomised to knock the Mc Kinley bill out the first month if given seats in congress.

The demagogue assures them that the remedy for theii ills is to be sought in foreign markets for their produce. It is exactly the argument used to persuade them to consent to a revenue tariff in 184(5. But when that tariff had been votedhey discovered how they had been fooled. Said President Fillmore iu his annual message in December, 1891, five years after the low tariff had been inaugrated: The value of our exports of bread-stuffs and provisions, which it was supposed the incentive of a low tariff and liirge importations from abroad would tilyingusof the special session of the board of attempt to keep their promises.

1S92. Under date of Atchison, March 13th, Mr. Ingalls says: Dear Walton: In reply to yours of the I2th inst. I would say that you have probably seen the note I wrote Uutterfield at his request, Saturday. You were misinformed and your statement as made was incorrect.

but my purpose now is to widen no breaches, and to reconcile rather' than repel. I make no complaints. I have no ambition except to assist to redeem the state from the harpies and vampires that have defiled and degraded it. Your friend, John J. Ingalls.

The policy which dictated a low rate of duties on foreign merchandise, it was thought by those who established it, would tend to benefit the farming population of this coun try. by increasing the demand and rising the mice of our agricultural products foreign markets. The fore-ging facts, however, seem to show in-contPstibly, that no such result has followed the adoption of this policy.

And no such result would follow a repetition of experiment now. Our misfortune i3 that we have to too much of our agricultural produce for sale in foreign countries. But we are rapidly getting over that difficulty. We are approaching very close to the line where, under normal conditions our own people will consume all our farmers produce.

Where has the American farmer a market for his sur plus produce? Take from agriculture in the United States 600,000 men, women and children, aud you will at once give a market for more breadatuffs than all Europe now furnishes us." He evidently understood how protection benefitted the farmer.
