Too Big a Load.

VIII ell the farmers undertake not
only to support themselves and fami
lies but also pay the largest part of the
national expenses and contribute
about one-third of their earnings to
support the manufacturing and min
ing business, they undertake to carry
too heavy a burden. 1t is no wonder
that they have so signally failed and
have plastered their farms with mort
cages. No business can be successful
which donates large part of the in
come derived from it in order to boom
and make prosperous other businesses.
The farmers have tried the plan of
bearing large portion Of the expen-
ses of manufacturing establishments,
and it has been fearful cost to them
as a class.
The system under which they have
been working for the last thirty years
has been as follows: A capitalist
desires to put his money into some
manufacturing business. He is not
satisfied with reasonable profits. He
must have large dividends, and is
anxious to accumulate great fortune.
His plans provide for magnificent
palace, pleasure yacht, and an ex-
pensive trip every summer for his
family to some fashionable watering
place or to Europe. To do these
things he must have immense profits,
far larger than he could get if he had
to compete with institutions similar
to his own in other countries. To get
these large profits he must prohibit
competition so that he can increase
the price of the goods he manufactures.
Congress is applied to, and being
in Republican control, he secures
what he Demands protection tax.
This forces the foreigner to pay
custom tax that averages AZ per cent.
before he can sell his goods in this
country, and which tax he adds to the
price of his goods. The consequence
is an increase in the price of goods SO
taxed, and which the American buyer
has to pay. The American manu-
facturer also charges an extra price,
equal to the tax, and this extra price,
which is nothing more or less than
tax, is mostly paid by the farmers.
The whole burden of this tax is borne
by the farmers and laborers. The
capitalist is therefore sure of re-
ceiving not only the cost of the goods

The Farmer in Politics.

The farmer is in politics. He is to
be congratulated. Let us hope thaI
he is there to stay, and to do his owl
thinking and voting. The power OF
organization is trite and true. The
national bankers are organized, anC
they have controlled the currency O.
the people for 20 years. The manu-
facturers are organized. and they
have levied the taxes Of the govern
ment since the close of the war. The
mining industries are organized, anC
they have amassed enormous fortunes
The money power is most thoroughly
organized and has controlled the fl
nancial policy of the government with
absolute authority. All these or
CARNATIONS have robbed the farmers
until they are plastered with mortgages
and harrassed by debts and also OF
the verge Of bankruptcy. The slow
and patient farmer has been goaded
into action through sheer self defense
There arc many organizations Of
farmers, all having the same object
If wisdom prevails they will all CO.
operate. They are boldly pushing
their craft out upon the somewhat
turbulent sea of politics. They have
more real power than all the other or
CARNATIONS combined. Right, justice
and power are on their side; wisdom
and harmony alone are requisite to
the completest success.
They are particularly strong in the
south and northwest. In Minnesota,
Nebraska, and South Dakota they al
ready have separate tickets in the
field, with the fattering prospects of
substantial success. In numerous
congressional districts they are put
ting separate candidates for congress
in the field, either through their own
machinery or through one of the old
parties.
In the south they have in many
localities shown their imperial power
by capturing the Democratic organ
ization and putting their own candi-
dates in nomination, where election
follows as matter of course. They
are also, throughout the south and
west, displaying great activity, in re-
gard to the minor offices. Particular
ly is this true in regard to the men,
bers of State legislatures. Large
numbers of their candidates will be
elected to participate in the enactment
of laws in many states.
The result of all of this will be
seen in the virtual control of many
States, and the election of many men,
bers of congress pledged to their
measures, and many able representa-
tives of the farmers in the legislation
of many States. Exceedingly inn
portant results will flow from these
facts.
The farmer is indeed in politics.
If wisdom governs his action he will
destroy the power of monopoly, eman-
cipate and revivify agriculture and
immensely promote the prosperity Of
the country.
Wisdom to his counsels, and power
to his efforts.-State Democrat.

When the Mills bill was under de-
bate Mr.. Dalzell referred to reduc-
ton in the price of tin plates between
1874 and 1878, and attributed it to
the manufacture of tin plates ON a
very small scale in this country. Mr..
Dalzoll was disingenuous enough to
make no allusion to the fact that the
price had continued to decline and
had, in fact, fallen about one-half
between 1878 and 1888, when there
was no American manufacture, and
every American who lives under a
tin roof, eats canned food, carries his
dinner in pail, or buys u set of
kitchen furniture, got his share of the
benefit of this reduction, of which the
American Economist and Mr.. Jarrett
now wish to deprive him it would
cost the people of the country so little
Individually and it would he So nice
for Mr.. Jarrett. But suppose We put
the increased duty on tin plates,
where should we be? The Economist
tells US that:
"ln this country are numerous
mines containing enough tin ore to
supply the world for centuries.
Temescal Mountain, in San Bernadino
County, Cal, alone is said to contain
tin ore sufficient to supply this country
for century, so easily accessible that
it crops out from the surface of the
ground, and SO rich that it yields from
Is to 20 per cent of pure metal"
Does anyone suppose that if we in
creased the duty on tin plates two or
three fold and began manufacturing
them that block tin would be left on
the free list with all those tin mines
owned by Americans ? Certainly not.
We should have to put a duty of
several cents pound on block tin.
This would enhance the cost of the
manufacture and Mr.. Jarrett would
ask Congress for an increased duty on
tin plates to compensate him for the
artifcally increased price of his raw
materials. The net result of having
tin mines in the country would be
that every woman would pay little
more for her tin dipper than she
would have had to pay had there
been no tin mines in the country.
But it wouldn't cost her much more
and her penny would help John Jar
rett to his fortune. The Economist
says that if we made the tin plates
here we should keep at home $40 ,000,-
600 we now send annually out of the
country. But the man who had to
buy a tin dish would not be keeping
his money at home he would have
to send little more of il away from
his home after his tin dish than he
has to send now, but he would send it
to Mr.. Jarrett and help him to get to
be very rich man like Mr.. Carnegie,
