HOW FARMERS ARE CARED FOR

An interesting aspect Of the tariff con
troversy is the effect of Protection upor
the farmer and agricultural workman
who have all along been the objects 81
especial solicitude with free trade at.
torneYs. from Mongredien of the Golden
Club to the little captain of reform
in the obscure town meeting. Farmers
are urged to believe that their interests
were purposely ignored in the prepare
ton Of our tariff laws. while in fact
agriculture has been neither overloo ked
nor Disseminated against. Quite as
many products Of the farm are enumer-
ated in the tariff schedules as of any
other single industry. All the cereals,
vegetables. meats, wool, products of the
dairyand orchard are defended by duties
ranging from ten to fifty per cent of
their value And the 'reformer' who
argues through all the other schedules
that the price Of the domestic
product is materially enhanced
by tariff on competing
foreign products, only stulhfes himself
in confronting that the farmer gets no
benefit from the tariff of 20 cents n
bushel on foreign grown wheat, and
half rs much on oats and barley raised
across the Canadian border and sold in
the United States The 20 per cent
tariff collected on an importation Of
100000 value of live animals in the
last fiscal year was TO that extent as
complete protection as the tariff on
silks or any other product Of foreign
manufacture.
Further proof that the farmer has not
been Disseminated against in national
legislation is to be found in our home
stead law Under this law any citizen
who will occupy and improve the land
is given tract Of so to 100 acres, ac-
cordirg to location, upon the mere pay
ment Of fees for survey and record of
patent. No equally liberal treatment
has been accorded 10 any other indus
try And it may be we'll to remember
that this policy Of giving homes 10
farmers found vigorous opponents
among the same class OF philanthropists
who are now working for the untaxed
admission OF farm products raised in
foreign countries
1t IS quite safe to class all tariff re-
form wailings over alleged unjust dis
elimination against the farmer with the
equally hollow pretense that the house
building trades command relatively
higher wages because they are not enum-
Grated in the trilf schedules.

PAY The DEBT.

When a claim is established by one
nation and admitted by another, its pay
ment follows as n matter of course. II
that were refused. the creditor nation
would if superior in power. enforce its
right by arms; if weaker. the debtor
would be shamed into Justice by the con
tempt of other nations. Yet this fault
of obligation has been the habit of the
United States in dealing with the Indian
tribes who are helpless and at its mercy,
and who cannot even appeal to the sent
iment Of the civilized world There
would scarcely be anything more shame
ful than the deliberate refusal Of a rich
and powerful government to pay to an
Indian tribe the paltry sum Of $4,000,
which its own agents had ascertained to
be due, and which it had guaranteed by
the most solemn promises to appropri-
ate. And vet for thirtY-lour wears it has
