pR0TECTLON IND THE FARMERS.

Representative Phelps, of New-Jersoy, deliv-
cred an address on farming yesterday whichwll
surprise even his warmest friends by its ability
and mode of treating topics usually considered
commonplace and threadbare. Indeed, when
one remembers how many addresses have been
mado on similar occasions and on the same
topic, it is remarkable to meet with speech so
new and interesting as well as strong as the one
fully reported to-day. The most striking
feature of the address is its emphatic cOntradic-
ton of the time -honored advice, " Go West,
Young man." and its array of powerful evidence
that farming in all Its branches may DO prose-
cuted more prOftaby in State close to the sea-
coast than on the distant plains of the Far West.
The statistics which Mr.. Phelps presents are
full of interest, and will attract the attention OF
farmers In very part of the country.
Norwill hispowerful presentation Of the bene-
ftsherived by the farmer from the protectivesys-
tembe overlooked. At this time, when fear of
Democratic meddling with the tariff operates to
distub all manufactures, the farmers have
daily experience of the effect upon their own
interests and they can realize N a measure how
great would be the disaster to them if, by a re-
turn to the old Southern policy, the manu-
featuring development of the North should be
arrested. No part of Mr.. Phelps's speech ismore
clear or forcible than that In which he traces
the influence of Southern ideas in the treat
ment of the tariff question. 1t is still true, as
# was In 1916, that the South resists to the ut
most every measure tending to promote di-
versifcation of industry, and that a vote to re-
store the South to control OF the Government is
a vote against the interests of farmers as well
as of manufacturers and miners.
