roads IS discussed at some length in his
forthcoming report by Superintendent
Goree Of the state penitentiary. He
fluids it Objectionable on several grounds,
and argues against it as though he fully
expected the legislature TO attempt the
enactment of q law leasing convicts to
county commissioners for labor on dirt
roads. Under the existing system it is
necessary that large number of con-
victs be employed outside of the prison
walls because, as Mr.. Goree Gays, ''of
insufficient room inside, lack of machin-
cry ana adaptability to skilled labor OF
large class of prison population. Hence,
many of them are hired out to railroads
to planters and contractors, and many
are worked on share farms, and on the
state farm at Harlem.
Concentrations of convicts in whatever
work engaged is the right policy. 1t has
been found in the working of the con-
tract system, that where convicts are
scattered while at work the number of
escapes are greatly increased, and that
the cost of guarding and keeping them is
heightened. This would be the case In
an aggravated form, il couvicts should be
worked on dirt roads. 1t would be i'm
possible to maintain prison houses for
camping here to-day and there to-mor-
row. 1t would require an extra force OF
guards and make it impossible to care
for the sick and manned. Frequent
contact with friends and others on the
public roads would greatly facilitate es-
cape, and otherwise embarrass and hiu-
der effective work. Again, none but the
young and able bodied would be desired
for such work, leaving the old and
feeble in the pen to be cared for by the
state without the help now obtained from
roads and farms. The system would,
therefore, entail heavy expense on the
state for maintaining the peniteutiaries,
an expense which it now avoids. Again,
only few counties could be supplied
with convict labor, while all the rest
would have to do without. The unfair
ness of furnishing eight or ten wealthy |
counties with labor to build roads, while |
200 other counties could get none, is en- |
tirely obvious. Then, too, there are |
seasons when, owing to wet weather, |
roads cannot be worked for weaks at q |
time, while the expense Of feeding aud |
guarding the prisoners goes on.
For these and similar reasons the su-
perintendeut believes that the idea of
leasing convicts to counties is not BIZ any
means q good one. The objections re.
cited against it do not lie against the
plan of working them on state farms,
where they are not dispersed as on roads,
where secure prison houses, hos
pital and guard houses can be main
tanned, and where the profit from their
labor is greater than from any other
The arguments advanced seem
to be convincing enough for any reason-
able person, and from that, while it re-
mains necessary to find employment for
} portion of the prison population on the
outside, no better disposition can be
made of them than to work them on
state farms

In order that farmers may be
fully posted as to the great difference
of the two bills, as to protection to
farm products, the comparison
above made should be placed in the
miud 0: every farmer and kept con-
v-mient as stuffed club to beat
down democratic falsehoods during
thc coming campaign. The Tnb-
tIne gives further details as follows:
Toe duties on the first named ar
ticles and Of few Others following
In the Mills bill are the same as eX-
ist under the present law, but the
Mills bill puts many articles on the
free list which the present law pro-
tects. The new republican tariff
bill, known as the Mckinley bill,
increases the protective duties above
those Of the present law on all farm
products, while the Mills bill, as
will be seen above, strips many i'm
portant farm products of all protec-
ton entirely.
To the farmer the difference be-
tween the Mills bill and the Nc
Kinley bill is the difference between
the loss aud profit. Even under
our present tariff law, there Were
imported into this country last year
according to thc Statistican Dodge
foreign agricultural products to the
value of over $3ts,G00,000. If one
half Of this sum has been saved to
our farmers last year il would have
been very acceptable The McKin-
ley bill proposes to hold back these
vast importations Of foreign pro-
ducts aud give our farmers a better
show in the home markets. The
Mills bill would vastly increase the
importatiOns OF foreign farm prod
ucts and rob our farmers of their
home markets.
This is the difference between the
two bills, and the farmers of this
country are not going to be deceived
by the foolish assertions sud false
hoods Of the free trade organs that
are trying TO convince them that
"the Mckinley bill affords but little
more protection TO the farmer than
does the Mills bill"

Iowa State Register: All the
mugwump and other democratic
papers are constant in opposition to
the Mckinley tariff bill and all other
measures which aid agriculture and
pay pensions to war veterans. The
supreme effort Of this class of papers
is TO break the faith of the farmers
aud veterans in the principles of re-
pubicanism. These two classes of
voters constitute the republican
party, control its principles and die
tate Its legislation. They are the
great majority of that party and no
amount OF cheap dem1goguery and
fustian can drive them from the
control of their own camp into an
ambush enflladed by those who
have always been their enc
mics. Some democratic papers
are now making statements
that the new Mckinley tariff
bill, pending In Congress, gives but
little more protection to the farmers
than the Mills bill, but they are
very careful not to give figures or
other details by which comparisons
OF the two bills can be made. The
Detroit Tribune has compiled the
following table showing the differ
ence In the duty rates ON farm
products between the Mills bill and
the Mckinley bill as reported TO the
House. Clip the table out and keep
