AGEIcrLrrEAL DEPRENSION

Secretary Eusk has considered the causes OF
agricultural depression very fully ana dis
cu,scd with warm sympathy as well rs intclli-
ccncc the possible remedies III a strong paper
which is printed to-day. He pays no regard
70 the claims Of Mr. Atkinson and others that
current complaints of depression are eXaggcrat-
cd but recognizes with candor that in some
respects the farmers have in their own hands
tbe rover TO remedy their evils He advises less
careless, culture, more study Of markets and
limitations Of demand, greater care as to quail
ity Of products sent TO market, and more pru-
dcnce in deciding what area of land they can
worl, with profit. Without denying that the
state of the currency may affect prices OBJ

law can lr, wisely modified. Legislative pre-

But bis papcr is mainly devoted to an earnest
discussion of protection for farmers, and on
this subject he presents some striking Facts.
Imrorts Of agricultural products, at prices PAID
by consumers, about equal all exports OF farm
products. at prices paid to the farmers. While
there has been a great decline IN prices OF many
home grown products, because the farmer Is

maintains. is to be seen at glance III the free
list in. which most agricultural products APP

products. which are generally too low to be

The remedy which the Secretary proposes is
NOT the one favored by Free Traders. lie does
not propose that in order to insure still cheaper
materials for manufacture, the farmer shall be
subjected to more direct, unchecked and de-
structive competition with the ill-paid labor of
other lands On the contrary he pleads with
great earnestness and force that, after man
ufactures have been built up by steady pro-
| lection for nearly thirty years, and when farm
ers are now in turn exposed to ruinous com

IT is expected in Washington by those best
informed that the debate on the Mckinney
Tariff bill will be begun about fortnight
hence and the hope is held out that the meas
uIc may be disposed of-that is passed by the
House-by the beginning OF June. Naturally
the course and volume of debate on so impor-
tant subject cannot be fully foresecn; but
doubtless the fact is generally recognized that
votes are not likely to be changed by speech
making. OF course, the details of the bill are
properly subject to close scrutiny but the gen
eral debate can be limited without detriment
to either party. Two years ago eight days
and 4 half were allowed to each party for the
general debate on the Dark Lantern" bill.
Half as much time, or even less, would prob
ably be ample now.

THE RENSSELAER, U1SHINGTON SENA


The State Senate is about ready to dispose
Of the contestcd-seat case which has occupied
so much of the attention of the Committee on
Privileges and Elections OF that body ever
since the session opened. General James c.
Rogers, the Republican candidate for the Sen
atorship in the XVIth District claims the seat
which is held by Michael +. Collins. In the
petition which he presented to the Senate in
January, General Rogers held that Mr.. CoinS's
majority was based solely upon Illegal and
fraudulent returns, and the evidence which he
has since produced substantiatcs his charges.
THE TRIBUNE has published from time to time

CONGRATULATED. They did particularly good
niece of work yesterday when they discharged

and in spite of the trcachery TO party and to
public sentiment of six OF their NUMBER thcy
rescued the bill from the committee and cvInced

The Republicans of Ncw-Iorll all along the

satisfaction. Now let the majority in the As
