THE FARMERS NEED.

Mr.. blaine - = Witness that the Mckinley
sill II Hostile to the Interest Of the
Farmer.
After Mr.. Blaine's recent letter to
Senator Frye. 1t does not seem neces-
sary to 60 into any very elaborate argu-
ment to show that the present tariff and
the proposed Mckinley tariff are hostile
to the interests of the American farmer.
Mr.. Blaine is protec ZIONIST OF unim-
peachable orthodoxy, and Republican
Of the straightGt sect He. more than
any other one man, is responsible for
the radical position which his party now
occupies on the tariff question, for 1t was

1854 that the party came 10 advocate
protection for protection sake Yet he
says in the Frye letter:
II do not doubt that in many respects
the Tariff bill pending in the Senate is
just measure, and that most Of its pro-
visions are in accordance with the wise
policy OF protection. But there is not .
section or line in the entire bill that
will open the market for another bushel
OF wheat or another barrel OF pork.
| That is a very serious charge, il means
that Mr. Blaine's Republican friends
have constructed : tariff bill which.
however much It viii help the various
trusts. Is sure to have disastrous results

he can not dispose Of 1T remunerative
prices The supply is largely in excess
Of the demand, and so prices fall to such
an extent as to threaten the farmers
with bankruptcy. That is the situation
under the present tariff. The markets
are too narrow As 1t is. One would
think that those charged with the con.
struction OF a new tariff would remedy
this defect. And yet after the McKin-
