Protection for Farm Products.

Contention that the Tariff imposed on
imported agricultural products is of no
avail by way of Protection to American
farmers will no more stand the test of
facts aud figures than most other asser-
tions of the industrious attorneys for free
foreign trade.
Under the existing law, Tariff is i'm
posed on the principal farm products, as
follows: Wheat, 20 cents per bushel;
corn, oats, barley and rye, each 10 cents;
potatoes, is cents; live stock (other than
breeding), 20 per cent. on value The
effect of these charges, according to the
great apostle of Free Trade, who never
lets slip the opportunity Tor reiteratlng
his creed, is that:
Tariff taxation is not limited to the con-
sumer of imported articles but the duties i'm
posed upon such articles permit a correspond
ing increase in price to be laid upon the
domestic productions of the same kind.
Every sensible business man, with the
price-lists of the different trade centers
before him, can see that this is not true;
while it is fact that the Tariff rates above
quoted serve as a check to an influx of
foreign grown products which would,
in the absence of such barrier, seriously
embarrass market prices in the United
States. Foreign producers pay the
Tariff on such of these products as they
send here, and hence cannot afford to
sell them as cheaply as they could and
would sell if permitted to bring their
products here free. What they thus
pay in the way of Tariff goes into the
public treasury, and by SO much reduces
the amount that otherwise would be
raised froIa our own citizens.
But Notwithstanding the fact that
foreign farmers are taxed for the privi-
lege of selling their products in our
markets, they did send here during the
last fiscal year staple farm products to
the value of nearly $14, 900, 0OO-nanlely:
Breadstuffs, 1904, 272; vegetables, ST.
455, 354; live animals, $3, a70, a77 At
ter paying over two aud three quarter
million dollars as Tariff, these were sold
III competition with the prooucts Of
American farms.
1t is with such facts as these that Free
Trade attorneys should be confronted
when pleading with the farmer for his
vote against the policy of Protection for
American labor. The American farmer
can no more successfully compete against
the cheap grown wheat of India and
Russia than the American manufacturer
can compete with his foreign competitor
in making cheap goods. The Tariff of
20 cents per bushel removed, and the
price of American grown wheat would
| come down, or foreign grown wEeat
would be sold in its stead. Proof of this
lies in a comparison of market quotations
from the commercial centers of Europe
and the United States, and farmers will
find more profit in such comparison than
in listening to the confusing diatribcs Of
Free Trade advocates.

The Never Satisfied Free-Traders

For months past the Free Traders have
been telling us and our farmers that they
have not had sufficient Protection. That,
while the manufacturer has been reapine
the profits accruing from a high Tariff.
the farmer has been fooled and hood
winlled with Tariff on his products
that amounted to little or nothing and
afforded him no Protection whatever.
!. Well, We arc always glad to receive
points from sH Free Trade friends. and
being convinced that our agricultural in
terests have lacked sufficient Protection
to certain products the trainers of the
new Tariff Blll have increased the duty
on some and put a duty on Others before
on the free list But our Free-Tradc
friends are no more satisfied than before.
Tuey cry now that the necessaries of life
are to be taxed, Sc. Truly, the Golden
ties and he Clevelandites are hard to
please. It would seem that pothing but
compete stagnation of our industries
and ruination of farm, factory and fire
side would bring JOY and gladness to the
advocates of British Free Trade.

Puritanic Horror of kissin.

Many ridiculous anecdotes are tod

Labor and Wages in Germany

In that Country.

the British policy of Free Trade, I'M !.

IS the Germans imported in 1888 but

Linen monufacture has increased in Ger.

creased in Great Britain Is per cent. The
exports of linen and yarn for the last ten
years have decreased fully one-half. The
shares OF the leading flax mills at Biele-
field. Germany, are 90 per cent. above par,
while the shares of the ten leading fax
mills of Belfast, Ireland, are between so
aud go per cent. below par. Two hum
dred thousand persons are engaged in the
manufacture of flax in Germany and but
$50, 000 in England
Wages also have increased at greater
rate in Germany than in England. Why
is it, some ask, that labor is not SO high
in Germany under Protection as in Free
Trade England The answer is quite
easy. Protection in Germany has built
up home market of purchasing power,
thus stimulating local production that
enables the German workman to buy
cheaper than his English brother, who
has to pay tor the foreign breadstuffs he
consumes, and who is so pent up that if
he lives in else but howell must pay an
exorbitant rent to "mi lord" On the
other hand, the German workingman
has economical tastes in dress and living,
and meets his wants with compensa-
tory balance of wages.
The Iron and Steel Association Of Ger
many represents 500 firms, with capital
of 1862, 1000, 900, and employs 235, 900
men. Ten years ago they were repre-
sented by 800 firms, employing but
Isl, 900 persons Their monthly wages
have increased 50 per cent, and this rule
OF increase Of wages will apply to all
Germany. Wages are lower in Germany,
but they are much higher than under
Free Trade, and their lower standard
than that of Great Britain is more than
compensated for by their cheaper food,
raiment and house rent than is paid for
by the British wageworker.

Wirn such an array of important prod.
acts protected, to say nothing of wool, OF
hops, OF hay, of eggs, of vegetables, OF
seeds, and Of a score Of minor products,
is it likely the American farmer will give
up the Tariff because the Free Trade
shouters are loudly proclaiming against
the iron aud wsolen barons? The farme,
reads and listsas and looks the situation
eve- carefully, aud then begins to figure
out how much Of the product represented
by this vast Gum of nearly $3.50, 900, OOG
he might produce at home if the Tariff
was only tishtened little.
The manufacturer looks on the other
side Of the picture, and he begins tc
cipher out hss much of the $3.50, 900, cor
of manufactured goods which are ali
nual!y pouring into our ports could lust
as well be mads at home by American
labor if the Inequalities of the Tariff were
only corrected and undervaluatlons and
fraudulent invoices stopped. The Nc
Kinley Tariff bill is intended to meet
both the demand of the American farmer
and the American manufacturer. And SC
they are ho'lud to join issues and stane
by the Tariff.
Yer Mr.. Gladstone says the people OF
America should grow more corn (mean-
ing wheat) and more cotton, and manu-
facture less irsa and steel and less wool
ems. And that is the Free Trade doc
time. Continue eur philanthropic miss
len for the relief Of the labor and capital
Of Great Britain ? Is this the only way
cut Surely not.

Our farmers are told by reckless put
veyors of British economics that the
., Tariff is framed for the benefit of few
iron, wooden, cotton, silk and chemical
barons, and not in the interest of the
American farmer. They never tell the
farmer that the direct benefits he receives
from the present Tariff are far in 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 Sa5O,0OO,OO And vet this

total agricultural imports amounted to
nearly $3.50, 900, 900.

gregate importation of fruit, hides, eggs
and vegetables is about equivalent in
value to the importation of manufact-
ures of iron and steel =? How many knom

the imports of seeds, not medicinal. arc

There is one Protection proposition

following paragraph in a speech made by
Senator Morrill, in the Senate on July 81 :

ceived TafiI Protection for series OF
years that is not now sold for much less
price than it was before it was protected. y

Western ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Assoc'n-

The Western association season in st.
Paul was auspiciously opened yesterday
afternoon with a game between the
Apostles and the ProhibtionistS. The
day was a perfect one, and the 1900
people present thoroughly enjoyed the
sport. Up to the end of the sixth inning
the contest was as clean, close and
pretty as any fan" could wish. The
seventh, however, was married by an in
cident which excited the mirth of the
crowd and the wrath of the Hawkeye
team. After DAILY had popped up
a fly. Phillips drove grOunder
to Macular, who threw wildly to
first, the runner taking two bases.
Abbey then larrupped the leather
over to left, but Clare was blinded by
the sun, and let the ball get by him,
Phillips going to third and Abbey to
second. Burks sought to get out of the
way of one of Harris twisters, but his
bat came in contact with the pigskin,
and it dropped just out of reach of the
first and second basemen. Umpire
Henry Martin said never word, the
men on the bases ran home and BurkS
landed on second. There was dis
tinctly audible howl from the I0wans,
but Martin was Obdurate, and the runs
counted. Cautillon struck out, but
Broughton lined out hit that sent
BurkS across the rubber, and BroughtOn
scored on Clare'S muff of Mains high
fly. st. Paul, however, had won the game
previous to this inning. 50 the charge
cannot be made that DeS MoineS was
umpired out of it. Some Of the fielding
was unusually clever, notably Abbey's
