A WESTERN FREE-TRADER.
Some of His Arguments Against Protection
Refuted by q Statement of Facts.


Refuted by a Statement of Facts.
American Economist.
Mi. Colman, late of the Agricultural Bu-
reau at Washington, takes exception in his
paper, the Rural World. of ST. Louis, to the
claim of the Economist, that under prOtec-
ton our people of all classes are better off
both by increase of wages and by lower
cost of living than they were at the Begin
ming of the century. he evidently does not
himself know now this is possible consist
emily with the welfare of farmers. and as
sumes that others are equally in the dark.
The improved condition of farmers since the
beginning of this century is apparent to all
who are familiar with the facts. 1t needs
no verbal demonstration. 1t Is also clear
that many articles of farm production,
such as have not been cheapened by the
use of machinery, are still as high aud
often higher in price than in former times
But large class of these articles are
cheaper to the consumer, while they bring
to the producer larger profit. As a rule,
also, all farm products bring more to
the farmer than half a century ago,
because he now finds market at less
cost. 1t is at bis door, among his neighbors
engaged in manufacturing or mechanical
pursuits, or it may be in a distant manu-
featuring city, access to which is cheap and
rapid, whereas in former times transporta-
ton would possibly have absorbed the en-
tire value of the product The use of corn
for fuel in the West, about forty-tive years
ago, is one of the illustrations of this truth.
There is. then, nothing inconsistent III the
assertion that certain farm products are
selling now cheaper than they were fifty
years ago. and still the farmer is getting
better pay for them.
But q large variety of things, and many
farm products which make up the cost of
living. are, to a greater or less degree the
products of manufacture. All these have
been largely reduced in price in this
century, while labor has been steadily
advancing. As to these the farmers now
live and clothe themselves, not only far
better. but also far cheaper than formerly.
Mr.. Colman is not quite candid Ill referring
to wheat as selling now at half the money
it did early IN the century. The price of
wheat in market is now essentially the
same as then. but the return To the farmer,
as an average. has been largely Increased:
This is the result of cheapening the cost of
marketing the crop. all Of which the farmer
has to bear
If farmers now labor under any disad-
vantage. it is the fruit of that policy which
led them to seek foreign markets. instead
of developing home markets. They in
creased their crops until they became de-
pendent on foreign markets. and when at

making indecent assaults lpOn two girls
named Harris. Mary Lewis, and Eddie
Lewis Mayo is the party who was shot by
Officer MOles about ten days ago when at
tempting 10 escape from that officer, who
served a warrant upon him. He had TO be
assisted into the courtroom. and looked as
though he had gone through a severe spell
of sickness He appears to be suffering
considerable pain.
Officer Moles in his testimony said he
overlook Mayo walking along Sixth street
and told him he had a warrant for his ar
rest. The prisoner made an assault upon
the officer and then dashed % 10 eyade ar
rest. Officer Moles fired two shots at the
fugitive, who continued at a rapid rate.
The officer followed in pursuit. continually
commanding Mayo to halt, but no atten-
tiOn was paid 10 the command, and Officer
Moles, seeing his prisoner was about TO es-
cape. fred two other shots, the last OF
which took effect and checked him.
There was large number Of witnesses,
whose testimony not only proved the
charges against MAYO, but showed him up
in a rather bad light. The prisoner denied
all OF the statements made. and insisted
that he was not guilty OF any OF the accu-
snttOns made against MN. i ne Mayor
thought differently, and imposed a fine Of
S20with six months Imprisonment in each
Of the three charges, making the total Of
his punishment $50 and eighteen months
in jail. The Court expressed the wish
that he was clothed with the power to i'm
pose heavier penalties in such cases. The
