The Record each week, by clip-:
pmgs from other republican papers,
harps on the great benefits derived
from the high protective tarin laws
by the laboring men of this country.
Well, high taxes may be a benefit to
the laboring men, and the Record
may persuade its readers to believe
it. But somehow it looks kinder
queer the people who are kicking on
the prices of everything tbeyhave
to buy and the low prices of what
they have to sell have not found it
out in all these years without all this
coaxing from republican papers
that the tariff ben fits them in buy
ing the necessaries of life.
For the entertainment of the re
publicau congressional coavention
which meets in this city May 3.su;t
able arrangements should be made,
and the delegates should be received
by the citizens (regardless of party)
in a manner that will make them
feel at home, and that we, one and
all, appreciate the compliment of
having the couventiou meet in our
city. Two years ago the republicans
joined with the democrats in making
the democratic convention a p'eas
ant and successful one, now let the
compliment be returned. This is a
large district and there will be many
prominent men present and we hope
to see nothing left undone to make
the occasion a pleasant one.
