Protectionists are still frsntioslly striv-
ing to show that come farmers in England
are almost as poorly OF uuder free trade
ss the farmers Of Nsw England and Penn
sylyeniA are in the presence OF the grand
home market that high tariff has built
up. Bat this is no answer. What the pro-
tectionists are called upon to explain is
why the American farmer is not enjoying
the prosperity they have been promising
him for SO many years. 20 plead that
he is no worse of than his English
brother is simply to admit tina. protec-
ton mas done nothing for him and to
give the lie to all the campaign juggling
through which they have deiuded him to
yots to tax himself to build up the home
market which was to transform this
country into new Canaan flowing
with financial milk and money. This
wont do at all. It is equivalent to sd-
hitting that the wicked free traders"
have been right and the sanity "pfotec-
tionists" have been wrong all the way
through. The American farmer wants TO
know, mot why he is no worse Of than
the British or the German farmer, but
why be is not inconceiysby better eff
after having 1t dinned in its ears for so
many years that protection" was to be

Upon the exceedingly liberal assumption
that it costs the sheriff 10 cents per heal
per day-Chester county pays only 81
cents for less than one-third the mum.

sic 400 on this item alone. II, as
is more probable, the ectpa! cost does
not exceed 6 cents psr day, the profit
would be &li.ss0. No wonder the levy

Why not extend the bounty system o,
the tariff bill to the 'iniant industry OF
silver mining? It would vastly simplify
the situation. Instead Of quarrsling over
ingenious subtsrf1ges for turning mil

kings of Colorado through compulsory
coinage or legal tender certificate devices,
why not enact tdst bounty OF % cents
per ounce shall be paid on all silver
mined in the United Ststes? This would
enable the silver men to keep the wolf
from their doors and would be dealing
more honestly by the American people
than stamping lin Goa we trust" on rs
