Tribune. Ths American farmer = JasE

of hard times. PTice. for as products

purchase money or improvement ia more
hopeful TIMES, are pressing, and Il = df-
ncult - make both ends meet.
AL this Is bad enough, buE il IS made
worse by the constant opportunity it az
fords aEitatOrs and dema gogass - exag-
gera5e the farmers grievances and lnten-
sify IBIS tale Of woe. Ever ready 10 mag
Nifty depressions, the joyous band Of Free
traders Who have been picturing this
glorious country Of ours spinning into
the aoys II ruin and destruction foe the
last twenty years are out with their tele-
scopes eagerly watching for an enlarge
ment OF the black spot. OF course tho
agricultural depression is al due 20 ths
tariff, and the only remedy is the imme-
diate repeal OF certain customs duties.
The farmer IS told by these reckless
puryeyors Of British economics that the
tariff Is framed for tie benefit OF few
iron, wooden, cotton. silk and chemical
barOnS and not in the interest Of tho
American farmer. They never tell the
farmer that the direct benefits he receives
from the present tariff are far ia excess
Of the benefits received by any other
class. They do not tell him that last year
the agricultural products imported on
which duty WAS levied aggregated in
value over $3.50. 900, 600. And yet this Is
a fact. They do not tell him that our to-
tai agricultural imports amounted TO
nearly $3.50, 000, 900
How many farmers know that the az
grsgate importation OF fruit. hides. eggs
and vegetables Is about equivalent in
value 10 the importation Of manufact-
ures OF iron and steel: How many know
that the aggregate importation Of raw
flax and hemp, breadstufs, eggs, vegeta-
bles and woods, all products Of the farm,
is about the same in value as the importa-
ton of manufactures of wool, or nearly
S53, 600, 900: Changing the combination
and adding hops and hay to fruit, flax,
etc, and we have an aggregate far ex-
ceeding the imports Of chemicals, while
the importation of the last two items
would equal in value the annual i'm
portation OF manufactures of silk.
Is the American farmer ready to calm
ly listen TO attacks on the greedy rob-
Der barons who manufacture glass and
glassware when the imports of his own
protected breadstuffs barely exceed an
nually the importation Of glass; when the
imports OF seeds, not medicinal, are
about the same as the imports Of earthen-
ware?
mol Unless am very much mistaken
the American farmer has altogether too
much hay out himself not 10 be clever TO
his neighbOr, the manufactures, in the
matter Of exchanging courtesies- Here
is about how the account stands:

Champagne Will BE Dearer.

From the n. Y. World.
The advance in the price of champagne is one
of the results which will have the effect Of still
further reducing the indscriminate consump-
tion of the politicians fayorite beverage. The
custom of opening bottle of wine" at the
bar for casual drink has grown more and
more into disuse during the past few years, and
the increase in the cost of champagne will still
further discourage one of the most reyered Gus
toms of politicians and men about town There
is good deal of difference between $l.75 and
1925 Hotel men decided even before the
Tariff bin was passed that there was no money
in champagne for them even at 81 pint and
$3.50 quart and there is g strong probability
that the prices will be lifted SO as practically to
discourage champagne drinking over the bar
We are not awine-drinking people. Nine diners
out of ten order a cheap grade Of claret or
bottle OF Rhine wine when they wish to drink
something with their meals.

A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE STORY.
How Sick Child Touched the Hearts of All
the Factory Hands.


In pottery factory here there is workman
who had one small invalid child at home. He
wrought at his trade with exemplary fidelity,
being always in the shop with the opening of
the day. He managed however, to bear each
evening to the bedside of his ''wec lad.'' as he
called him, flower, a bit Of ribbon or frag
ment of crimson glass-indeed, anything that
would lie out on the white counterpane and give
color to the room. He was a quiet, unsenti-
mental man, but never went home at night
without something that would make the wan
face light up with JOY at his return. He never
said to living soul that he loved that boy so
much Still he went on patiently loving him,
and by and by he moved that whole shop into
positively real but unconscious fellowship with
him. The workmen made curious little jars
and cups upon their wheels, and painted diminu-
tive pictures down their sides before they stuck
them in the corners of the kiln at burning time.
One brought some fruit in the bulge of his
apron, and another engraYings in a rude scrap
book. Not one of them whispered word, for
this solemn thing was not to be talked about.
They put them in the old mans hat where he
found them; he understood all about it. And,
believe 1t or not cynics, as you Will, but it is
fact that the entire potteryful of men, of rather
coarse fibre by nature, grew quiet as the months
drifted, becoming gentle and kind; and some
dropped swearing as the weary look on the
patient felow-worker's face told them beyond
mistake that the inevitable shadow was drawing
nearer, Every day some one did a piece of
work for him and put it on the sanded bank to
dry, so that he should come later and 90 earlier.
So when the bell tolled and the little coffin
came out of the lonely door right round the
corner out of sight there stood a hundred
stalwart workingmen from the pottery, with
their clean clothes on, most of whom gave
half days time for the privilege of taking part
in the simple procession and following to the
grave that small burden of child which proba-
bly, not one had ever seen.

An Austrian Daron wanders Away to
.iS&> Dio in Solitude. .,s's

Die in Solitude.
Two bun.ers. John S. Gentle and JOS
eph SStcQtenbcrg. rodo to Spokane the
other day, writes a Spokane Falls
NWash correspondent. with the ,ncws
OF Ghastly discovery in tho Moran
mountains. Tho mon were out hunting
for pheasants and discovered in q dark
canyon human body half eaten by
lackals and carrion birds. Tho skeleton,
1t is beloved, is tho mortal remnant of
an Austrian nobleman. The particles
OF clothing found show that the dead
man had boon dressed stylishly. In q
pocket woro found a Catholic Bible and
letter, tho Superscription of which was
dcciphcrcd by Sheriff Pugh. 1t reads:
"Chrtstcn Earl Delmer, u. s. A." This
name is evidently an assumed ono, for
tho. younger Mr.. Gentle had seen
papers on tho man marked ''Baron
Won Strauss" not over five months
ago. At that time Baron Won Strauss,
pcnniloss and friendless, was about
this country. Ho left Budapesth Aus
tria, two years ago with portion of his
patrimonY. Ho came to America and
went to Chicago. There he souandercd
somc of his inheritance and then went
to San Francisco where he sadly
depleted his-pilc. He wrote to Austria
for money, but learned that his brother
had misappropriated the family cs-
tate to himself and had gone to India.
in utmost poverty the wanderer landed
at Portland, and when he landed in
Spokane ho was penniless. His mis-
fortune made him dcspondent. and he
wandered out into the country for,two
or three weeks. He was seen in the
vicinity ofCentlc's ranch. six miles east
OF spokane. llc would apply to farm
houses for a morsel of food and for shelter
The last day he was seen alive he called
at GeDtle's ranch and lcfta an elegant hut
empty purse. saying that was tho only
relic of his former fortune. and that ho
was going into tho mountains to starve.
Little attention was paid to what he
said He walked off toward Moran mount
ain. and Sunday the finding of his body
revealed his horrible fate.
