Some Of our Democratic cetemporaries
in referring to the prospect of mauufac-
turing enterprises being established in
their localities, number among the bene-
fits to ensue "a home market for the far
mer.' That. in other words. means the
principle and policy of protection, as the
Republicans understand and advocate it.
And it is true. The best market is the
home market. 1t is the market that pro.
lection builds up, and which must build
up the State if it ever improves. One
hundred men engaged in manufacturing
enterprises in Stanton. would be one
hundred wage-earners and consumers of
farm products, with an additional four to
make up each family, all Of whom would
have to be fed from the products of the
farm. 1t is the home market tina. pays,
and the policy that encourages and sus.
tains the home market, Is that which the
country needs.
