HAS PROVEN A FAILURE.
An Admirable Law for Agricultural Coun-
ties and Smaller Towns-Cannot be
Enforced in La ger oities-SUme Other
Methnh ShouId Now be Tried.


WASHINGTON. April 5.-First Assis-
tant Postmaster General Clarkson, of
Iowa. said in an interview yesterday
that the prohibition law has proved
failure in the large cities of his state.
1T has had seven years trial, he said,
''and while it has proved an admirable
law for the agricultural counties and the
smaller towns, it has failed TO find the
public opinion TO enforce itself in the
larger cities and in the counties on the
Mississippi river. which are largely set
tied by people of European birth. 1t is
an open fact that it cannot be enforced
in such localities without a state con-
stabulary, which the temper of the Iowa
people would never permit. The legisla-
ton to enforce il has been as severe and
autocrat as would ever be permitted by
free people. The Republican party has
never been united
In support of the Measure.
As many as $4,000 or 60, 900 Republi-
cans have been opposed to it, but have
gone along with the party, willing to
see the experiment tried. Now that it
has been tried seven years AMI has failed
IN part they insist that the law should be
amended so as TO give prohibition to the
so per cent. of Iowa where public opin-
ion favors and enforces it, but that some
other methods of regulating and repress-
ing the traffic should be given to the 20
per cent. of the state where experience
shows that it never can be enforced"
Mr.. Clarkson indorses the action of
the Iowa conference of anti-prohibition
Republicans in everything but its de-
mand for silent platform. He believes
the present legislature should modify the
prohibition laws.

THE experiences of many observing
persons have satisfied them that the
chief sources of family friction are, on
the part of the husband, domineering
disposition; on the part of the wife, friv-
olity; and of both together, selfshness or
want of consideration. All are the
faults of undeveloped natures, and not
of marriage, though close associations
may intensity them. Sometimes these
faults are reverSed-it is the husband
who lacks depth and character, and the
wife who rules with a rod of iron.

2 per cent cent as an investment. and

thereon. Why is this so il the theery of
the protectionist be true, that the anu
facturers will build up the hyme market2
1t seems in practice that the farmers OF
the manufacturing states, who ought to
be most benefited under the protection
lists argument have suffered severely.
No, the farmers market is a..foreign one.
If he is confined to the home marietta it
is called, that is if he is 50 unfortunate
as to raise a product that cannot be sold
in a foreign market. az in case Of corn,
he tinds the value Of his home market, as
the farmer has found 1t the past winter
in Kansas--he must use his corn for
fuel. This is an illustration of what the
farmers home market will be when, If
ever il be, that our wheat and other pro-
ducts are shut ont from a foreign market.
The farmer then buys everything by
the home market, made dear by protect
i've tariff; he sells everything by the
foreign market, made cheap by the COM
petition OF the world, the bulls and bears
OF American exchange and the retalieting
legislation Of nations. The farmers
number more than Al per cent. of the
laboring men OF the country, and when
this great class Of laboring men, groan-
ing under the burdens Of tariff legislation.
ask that the tax upon the goods they
purchase may be lowered, they are met
with the argument that il the tariff is
lowered the laboring maj will be brought
in competition with the "pauper labor of
Europe" Isn't she poor farmer and all
who labor for Sim already not only
brought into competition with the pau
PEI labor OF Europe bet with the Riot
of India and the Criminal Of Australia.
This pauper labor argument is double
edged. Our farmers have been contend
ing with the pauper labor Of Europe for
a hundred years; and have contended
successfully, but in their contention with
the manufacturers OF New England
under tariff protection the odds have
been against the farmer. And the present
coalition of the industry is q natural
result.
