Farmers and the Tariff.

From the y. 4, Pres. hE
Some plain ana s-nsibie remarks upon the
relation OF protection 70 farming were made
reoently in the United States Senate By Mr..
Moody. Of south Dakota As the repnesen-
tatiye Of State whose population is largely
engaged in agriculture. Mr. Moody has given
especial study to the policy Of protection as
Il effects his constituents. The Pres quotes
with commendaiion these strong and con-
yincing words from his speech:
Vow. Mr President, the position take IS
this Il more people were engaged in manu-
featuring and mining. and thus the con-
sumption were enhanced. who could doubt
bat what the business OF farming would be
more prosperous
The trouble, is We pay too much to the
foreign manufacturer. whose operatives We
cannot reach with our produce. Il the mil
lions which are expended annually for the
products Of the foreign loom and workshop
sene expended in our own country 70 pay
the mechanics and lAborers who would be
necessarily engaged in ike production here,
there would be no complaint Of depression
in the business VI farming nor IN the prices
oi labor.
What this country needs above all process
Is for its prosperity Is the employment OF all
our people who are nov idle. and an equaii-
cation OF the different kinds Of employment.
Mr.. Moody. with sound and philosophical
reasoning. has gone TO the very heart Of the
tariff problem. and the Press commends bis
arguments to the consideration of farmers
in other States than the agricultural com
monwealth he represents. Ia another por-
ton Of his speech Mr.. Moody, referring to
talk about farmers burning corn for fuel,
said
The farmeron the Western prairie, though
he may not have AZ the lime a remunerative
market for what he raises, remembers that
prices are elevated and they are depressed
De knows that If be cannot sell to-day he
may be able to sell tomorrow, aud 10 offset
that fling at those men, and il l can, refute
the inference which is 10 be drawn from
such an assertion. want to point Senator'S
TO the fact that in that very country now
corn brings foriy-five cents per bushei
If Mr. Moody had presented fable Of The
prices of grain for the past few years be
would have been able to show that il was in
the period Of doubt over the tariff policy,
brought about by the election Of Democrat
| ic President. with the consequent languish-
ing OF manufacturing industry, that corn
went down in price until it was burned for
fuel. He could have shown, moreover, that
during the four years Of Democratic rule our
great agricultural staple wheat, brought the
lowest prices since 1856, and by way Of con-
trast, that under the present Republican ad-
ministraiion, ii has gradually risen in price
to over dollar bushel at the present time
The agriculturists Of the country win not
require any elaborate argument in favor OF
home markets under the protective tariff
policy when they have good prices for their
products such as now prevail.

USIoSTowN, Pa, Sept "A strong effort
is being made to break up the Illegal liquor
traffic that is carried on in the coke region
by Pitisburg dealers through local agents
A test case was tried this afternoon, George
H. Brookman, Of ccnnellsville. being the
defendant 1t was developed that Brookman
solicited orders for beer and whisky for Bau-
erin & Co, OF Piusburg that the kegs were
consigned 10 other parties that Bfookman
collected the bills, paid his brothers for
hauling the stuff to the consumers and re-
tanned his own fee. The defense sought to
show that Bauerin & Co. were a licensed
firm and could deliver their goods in the
county. The Cur. replied that Bluerln &
Co. were not licensed to DO business in Fay
ette county, and the traffic Brookman had
been carrying on was Illegal, and under the
charge the jury promptly convicted the de-
fendant This sort of traffic has become a
great nuisance in the coke region. and if is
thought this will tend TO break it up.
