What SELF Rindsr. ma.e pone.

The self binder was first successfully
attached to the reaper in 1876; from 1861
20 1876 inclusive our average crop II
wheat. varying more with tho season than
with the planted area had been 2jS,0O0,
600 bushels In 1917, when the self
binder first began 10 be used, the crop
mounted 10 nearly 1884 600 900 bushels.
Again, in 1878, it mounted up, and from
that date TO 1857 inclusive, in which
period the use of the self binder had be-
come general, the average crop, varying
more with the Season than with the
planted area, was 40, COO, 900 bushels

When we consider that the total number
Of self binding reapers now made and

tying of that knot on the self binding har-

grain with the returning import Of gold
on which we resumed specie payment?
BY that single improvement the cost Of
wheat was reduced not less than per
cent, and in some places 10 per cent

The Democrats and Republicans have
each a tariff bill to lower taxes, for the
country called so loud for this that the
Republicans very late in the day were
forced to follow the example of the
Democrats. But the difference between
the two plans is that the Democratic
plan is In favor of the masses of the peo-
pie, and the Republican plan fayors the
rich
You have only to look at the Mills bill
and then al the Senate bill to see that this
is true. Above all is the shining fact
that the Democrats propose to reduce
taxes on the necessary articles of life and
to give American workmen free raw

LOOK OUT FOR THE TRAIN.

The New York Court OF Appeals has
decided that a person approaching rail
road track is bound TO look out for the
train. 1t is established that the train
must blow a whistle at the crossings.
The decision is Just for the railway lie
public highway. So is the wagon
road. but the difference 10 the character
OF the two highways makes 1t reasonable
that the charter Of the railway should
RECON- ize IT'S necessities as well as its
responsibilities.
An accident occurred three years ago
near Richmond which broke mans leg,
reduced wagon to splinters, and killed
a yellow dog. The railroad company
had to pay damages, when, in fact, 1t was
no more 10 blame for she accident than
the dog. The men recklessly drove

a railroad and heard the whistle OF the
train. but took the chances and tried
10 get across the railroad track before the
train could get across the country road,
the wagon going eight miles an hour
and the train fifty.
Yet the country jury gave the people
in the wagon damages.

atoms, but the illustration we give is

POPULAR INTELLIGENCE - There
might well be reason TO despair OF the
intelligence OF the American people If
they could not be convinced that such a

pose would strengthen the productive
capacity Of the country by cheapening
the cost OF the raw materials of manu-
featuring and the necessarles of living.

TRAIN NRuN---INTEREsTING TALK WITH
MIR. p. II. GRoAT, GENERAL IMMIGRA-
TIoN AGENT OF THE NORTHERN
PACIFIC.
A REVIEW reporter visited Mr.. p. b.
Groat, the general emigration agent OF
the Northern Pacific, at the Grand
yesterday. In answer to the questions
of the reporter he gave him some facts
about emigration In general and to
Spokane in particular. "The emigra-
tion," said Mr.. Groat, to the Pacific
northwest in general is larger than
ever before. Washington is getting
as much OF it as any other section. In
fact, the emigration is so large that we
have been obliged to put on an extra
emigrant train daily. Judging from
the large number of inquiries now. be-
ing made, the large emigration will
continue this summer and increase
greatly in the fall. Very many of the
settlers now coming are locating in the
Palouse country. The extension to
Uniontown and Genesee has been
looked forward to by the farmers
some time and will increase the
Palouse country emigration greatly.
The Big Bend country is just becom-
ing known, and large numbers of set
tiers are stopping at Spokane, Cheney
and other points along the road to go
there. The contemplated extension
of the Northern Pacific to the Colum-
bia may be made from Cheney, but
will result in bringing the trade to
Spokane. Cheney will be q sort of
Houser Junction through which the
trains must pass. Although large
numbers of settlers stop in eastern
Washington, the land will hold them
all. Spokane is the metropolis of
eastern Washington now and always
will be. The vast lumber, mineral and
agricultural resources that centre in
Spokane will support the large city
which will always be here"

Triad to LYNCH thu GRAY.

BIRMINGHAM. Ala, Oct. 1.-Two
hundred negro miners at Smith g mines,
on the Birmingham mineral railroad,
yesterday afternoon made desperate
attempt to lynch five white men, COM
posing the crew of a freight train. The
train ran over and killed Clara Dickson,
colored woman, who was lying across
the track drunk and asleep. The body
was cut into half a dozen pieces. The
train crew took shOvels and dumped the
still bleeding flesh into a ditch by the
roadside. This made the negroes, who
had witnessed the accident, frantic and
they quickly surrounded the train and
sent for rope. All the crew managed
to get on the engine, which they stealth
lily uncoupled from the train, and by
pulling the throttle wide open mana
ged to escape. A shower of bullets
was sent after the flying engine, but
did no harm.

occasion to show the other day in
Michigan from indisputable statistics
that the little region of New England,
with not so much population as 1lliaois
and Indiana, and with scarcely so
much area as Illinois alone, had
occasion to show that that lit
tie area with six small
states takes more from these
western states than Is shipped to cid
England, and that these little states
take from the other states of this
Union every year in food and raw
material for manufacture the enor-
| nous aggregate of over four hundred
| millions of dollars in money. (Applausl.
Add to that the amount that New
York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey
take from the south, the southwest and

aggregate ofmore than one thousand
millions OF material, tapplause) and
this country will have realized the
great objective point of the tariff sys-

| shall have its market nearer to the
producers.
Farmers of the west you have been
complaining of the price of
wheat and enormously charging the
fall upon the protective tariff.
Why has wheat fallen during the last
ten years? Because you have to meet
in the markets of Europe the wheat of
Russia that is raised in that vast coun-
try with labor that is not more than
eight to twelve cents per day, and be-
yond that you are meeting vast i'm
ports of wheat from India where En-
gland has been expanding hundreds of
| millions OF dollars to cheaper and eX-
peditetransportrtion to Europe. Neglect
your home market and the larger
amount you will find unstable and the
harder will be your competition with
these hard worked wheat producers on
the other side. Suppose you turn half
| the manufacturers and mechanics
under the basis of free trade; suppose
you turn half of them into wheat pro-
ducers and farmers, is not the market
of the farmer cut off just
that much and the surplus
| of his product increased; sup
pose you add another hundred and fifty
million bushels to the product of the
west where will you market it, where
will you find the men that are able to
pay for it who want to eat it, remem
Der gentlemen it is the home market of
| the United States that every day is af
fording more and more to the agricul-
turiStS of this country and their best
| market and the home market of the
United States is the result, logically
and in0isputably of the protective tariff.
