Tariff On Mud Larks.

Philo's got another scheme. He
came pretty near getting rich this
time, and would only he didn't stick
quite close enough to business. A
good bit of Phio's farm is swamp
land and raises more corduroy reads
than corn, but he keeps it so he can
get from one sand hill to another and
tend to his crops. It's a great place
for mud larks, and he took to ketcbin'
them with traps, and taking them
over to Wayne township for sale,
Some of the fashionable people over
there called 'em plover, but ! knowed
tina was mud larks all along, and SC
did Philo. But tina was good de-
mand, 80 he kept ketchin' 'em, and
at last that Irish republican son-in-
law of hisn come out from town with
a big net about forty foot long and
he set in the marsh and caught whole
focks at clip. Then he took the
horse and buggy and went to-market,
sellin' all tina could carry into Wayne
1t was u good season for mud larks,
and Philo's family looked like they
was comm up agin after the failure
of the peanut farm. But one day he
came to me with both hands in his
pockets and that sort of puzzled look
look on his face he always gifts when
he cant understand something. Like
all protectionists he wears that puz-
zled look most all the time.
"Sol," says he, "tha've passed a

Democratic State Convention.
The Farmer Should Vote for His
Own Benefit.


The encouragement OF manufac-
features is right when properly done,
but when such are created and main
tanned solely by placing a heavy tax
on farmers, it is not right. Especial
ly is such the case in regard to old
and we'll established industries that
have made immense fortunes for their
owners. For the last twenty or
thirty years these protected manu-
facturers have been made exceeding
ly prosperous by reason of the heavy
tribute they collect from farmers, and
for which they give but little in re-
turn. This tax, or tribute, the man
ufacturing establishments levy by
reason of the protective tariff, which
gives them the control of the Amer
lean market, and thus enables them
to COMPEL the farmers to pay increas-
ed prices for the goods that they are
forced to buy.
The farmers are obliged to sell
their surplus crops in foreign mar
ket, and have thus to compete with
the labor of the entire world. The
agriculturist sells his products for
low prices, but when he needs manu-
featured goods, he is compelled to
buy the high priced goods of eastern
manufacturers, or pay the tariff on
imported goods He thus sells in a
cheap market, but has to buy in a
dear market. The farmer can not
prosper while doing business on such
ruinous principles, He can not af-
ford to give a large part of his earn
ings to support manufacturers. He
needs all he earns for his own bene-
fit and tue benefit Of his family. 1t
is wrong for him to support system
that takes part of his income in
order that few hundred men, who
are strangers to him, may become
millionaires.
If the farmers expect to sell their
surplus products to Europeans, they
must take pay for the same in goods
manufactured by the persons who
buy their grain and other farming
products. No country can afford tC
buy goods of another country unles;
an exchange of products is made. II
is an impossibility for any country tc
pay money for imports. Thus if the
American farmer expects to sell his
surplus products to the people OF
other nations, then he must take their
products sin return.
The American farmers sold to the
people of other countries, during the
year 1889, agricultural products to
the value of 1921, 100000. In re-
turn they received goods of other
countries as payment, but by reason
of the protective tariff, they paid an
extra price that averaged AZ per cent
on most of the imports. The Amer
lean farmers products were sold for
their actual value in competition with
the whole world, getting in return
foreign goods on which they paid an
import tax that averaged AZ per cent
In other words when they sold Il dol
lars worth of products to Il foreigner
they received dollars worth of for.
eign goods in payment, and then had
to hand over to the government over
one-thrd as much as tax. The
system is not good one for the farm.
