OF the spirit OF the times. 10 is the wild

IL may be remarked parenthetically, that

government warehouses and loaned
money 10 the farmers Of Sllesia, who
we're impoverished and in distress,
and all know who read the history Of
that time that II had most beneficial
result. And as early as lS4S the French
republic had system Of warehouses not
unlike that proposed by this bill, and re-
Gently this warehousing OF products has
been credited with enabling the French
people TO pay the German indemnity,
and with the heaviest per capita debt in
Europe, being the most independent and
prosperous yeomanry in the Old World.
In Mexico they have the national monte
depiedad, that is a modified form Of the
French system. SO that the plan is not
without precedent and not without favor,
able test.
One Of the objections comes from habit.
We have become 80 accustomed 10 re-
garding external things as calling for
government notice, that we are expend,
ing the energies Of the nation, lbs taxing
power and It's revenues for that which Is
least Of our interests and benefits us the
least Our whole custom house system
is based upon the idea Of dealing with
things Of merchandise and don't bring us
II cent Of proht-the only man benefited
being the importer. He can store his
goods In a house owned by the govern
ment let them be in bond until roady to
sell, and put the profits in his pocket.
And this is called the encouragement Of
commerce. But the farmer with crop
produced by his own labor inside the ma
tion, cannot store his wheat or corn till
the market is ready for il. Now, where
is the difference? Is not his crop going
out Of the country as much commerce az
the importers coffee coming in? As
matter Of interest il is much more inn
portant The only reason can see for
the distinction that Is made, is from
habit. In the early day never thought
Of exporting grain, and depended on To-
cal nelghbOrhood consumption for a mar
ket But canals, railroads and steam
ships came, opening other markets, Yet
we have never got into the habit Of treat
ing the farm products as commerce en-
titled TO the same care and government
favor as the others. Yet dollar in corn
is as much a thing of national recognl.
tion as a dollar in coffee, and barrel Of
potatoes equally 80 with box Of lemons
or a bunch Of bananas. And II we only
get in the habit Of looking at ii in that
way for while we will get over the old
fogy notion that only external things, or
imports, are commerce, and that all in
ternal products are mere truck, to foster
or aid which in any form is unconstitu-
tional

"When a public man who owes his

he has in the cattle that Craze the pralries,

There is another consideration under
lying this question that will become a
living idea as soon as the present old
fogy politicians get out Of congress or die
of. The whole issue Of free trade and
protection is only half-hedged one. On
both sides it is cramped by this narrow
idea of what is true commerce. II is not
alone imports, OF imported or self manu-
featured articles, but it Is labor and
values Of all kinds. "Free trade" is n
sound idea when 1t is applied to all our
productions, 80 is protection a sound doc
trine, when it covers all industries, but
free trade is a delusion and curse when
it applies to the products Of foreign in
dustry, without corresponding benefit
to our own, and protection is but a par.
tial thing when II is afforded for only
one part of our industrial product.
The farmer cannot be protected" bysa
mere custom toll on the farm products of
other countries. The reason is obvious
without extending comment What is
most important to the farmer is the state
Of the market when his product is ready
for it. His needs are annual, seasonal
and imperitive, and his CropsEcome at
like periods. The world knows that corn
