sELF-PRoTECT1ON FOR sTOCKMEN.


Were any enemy of the stock growers
in the southwest to intimate that the
average stockman in New Mexico were
inclined to be bit old-fogyish none would
be quicker to resent it than the New
MEXICAN always the stock mans defender
and ernest advocate, yet in all kindness
it must be said that to all appearances
our stock rasers are not fully abreast of
the times. Perhaps this is so because OF
the fact that they as yet, at least many OF
them, count themselves on the frontier,
and are not in position to realize how
rapidly are changes occurring in this
country. But the changes nevertheless
90 on and unless the New Mexico stock
man changes with the times he must ex-
pect to be worsted in the long run. He
must strive to make himself as independ-
ent as possible he can no more than any
other business man afford to rest on his
present basis, on his range rights, as it
were.
He must appreciate the fact that the
farm and ranch-feeding system is eventu-
ally to be his, and he ought to strive to
build up to that system while yet pros
perity is with him in his old methods.
There is no doubt of the decline OF the
range industry as it has been carried on
here for years. The preponderance oil
cattle is no longer in the hands OF the
range men, but they are held by ranchers
and farmers. And how can the stock
man improve his situation better and
more promptly than by developing his
water resources? 1t is matter of self
protection in many respects; it helps
,iu. now, in that it will insure him loss
against drouth and it helps him in the
future, enabling him to test his premises
for producing water so that forage may be
produced when the range feature OF stock
raising shall have been no more. Let the
New Mexico stockman keep abreast OF
the times as the stockmen are working

Some Pointed Questions Asked by a
Man who has Always been Re-
publican.

DR.. n. H. Munroe, of Seymour, who
has always been all ardent Republican,
writes the Democrat of that city as
follows; Many conscientious Repub-
licans-men who do not want office,
but are Republicans from principle
are asking themselves questions like
the following:
/. Why is the average yield of
800 invested in manufactures five
times as great as the average yield in
vested in agriculture?
2. Why do the farm implement
makers of this country advertise in
Buenos Ayres the same pillow for SO,
which they advertise in the United
States for $500?
3. Why was quinine $3.50 per
ounce when there was duty on the
drug as against 80 cents per ounce
now and if lowering or abolishing
the tariff would destroy American in
dustries," at this advanced day, why
has the number of quinine manufact-
cries in the United States grown from
three, under protection" to six under
free trade, and all of them prosperousg
4. Why was wool 10 cents pound
higher under the lowest tariff than it
is under the highest tariff?
8. What excuse or pretext can
there. be for maintaining the present
excessive tariff schedule--or for adopt
ing the still more Ubiquitous Mckinley
increase-wben the country is at peace
with all nations, save the solid south,

The Tin DUTY Steal.

Senator Moody has made his ex-
pected demand for duty Oh the black
oxide of tin, the form in which tin ore
occurs in the Black Hills mines.
Senator Aldrich admits that the
finance committee is in favor of grant
ing a duty of four cents a pound on
this crude form of tin. Not one sim
gle word has been uttered to show that
it costs more to mine tin in Dakota
than it does in Cornwall or the Straits
settlements. Not one particle of evi.
dence is offered to show that the mine
owners need protection. These tin
mines were capitalized at good many
million dollars during the Cleveland
administration when there was not
even prospect of getting duty on
the ore. A great deal of the stock
was sold in England, and the propos-
ed duty of $50 per net ton on tin ore
is proposed tax Oh Americans who
eat dinners out of tin pals, for the
benefit of English lords. A part of
this tin mine stock was marketed in
Pittsburg at prices based upon the
representation that tin could be pro-
duced at less cost in Dakota than in
Cornwall or the Straits settlements.
The statement that pure tin could be
produced cheaper in Dakota than in
Cornwall has been repeated without
dissent by the American Economist
and the New York Tribune, the two
stiffest protection organs in this coun-
try. The principles Of protection ut
terly fail to justify this proposed tax
of $50 per net ton Oh tin ore. This
tax is a naked act of robbery upon
every American who buys a tin pail,
can of preserved food or milk pan,
for the enrichment of small number
of rich Englishmen and Americans
who own the Black Hills mines.-Ex.

The Pioneer Press, an influential
paper published by colored man in
Martinsburg, w. Va, in the interest
of his race, takes decided stand
against the Lodge bill. In the issue
of August 9th, il says: "You may
pass all the Federal election bills you
choose, but they will do us only harm.
The time for the Republican party to
have passed such measure was i'm
mediately after the war. To-day we
are opposed to class legislation because
it is an admission of race inferiority,
and we are opposed to coercive sutf-
rage rights because we are American
citizens. When the negroes begin to
save their money and educate their
children, everything else desirable will
come to them.

Manufacturing Industries Maintained
Largely at the Expense of the
Farmers.

Every industry that is paid bonus
has great advantage over industries
that do not receive such. The pro-
tected industry has therefore every
chance of making immense profits.
These profits are not made out of
nothing. Some other industry has to
pay the bonus. The industry that is
taxed for the benefit of another in
dustry is at great disadvantage, as
it not only has to pay its own expen-
ses, but it has also to bear a large
portion of the burdens of some other
industry.
The manufacturing industries and
the mining business have been given
the privilege of taxing the farming
industry and the laboring people.
The result has been that the protect
ed manufactures and mines have
made immense profits for the capital
lists who invested their money in them.
Thousands of mill;onaires have been
created by this system of taxing farm
ers and laborers. Their great fortunes
are the result of being allowed by law
to exact tribute from farmers and Ia
borers.
The system has not been a good one
for farmers and laborers. 1t has TAX
en- large portion of their earnings
and given them to few thousand
capitalists, mostly eastern people.
The Republican protective tariff laws
rob the farmers and laborers for the
sole benefit of eastern capitalists. 1t
compels one class of citizens to give
a large portion of their earnings to
support the investments of another
class, total strangers to them. The
farmer has to seek market in for
eign countries for hn rplus products.
The protective tariff is therefore of no
benefit to him. He is obliged to COM
pete with the world, when he sells the
product of his farm.
The laborer is not protected. He
has to compete with the labor of the
whole world. He sells his labor in
competition with the free imported
pauper labor of Europe and other
foreign countries.
The protected capitalist is given
the great advantage of having tax
which averages As per cent in his
favor. This tax, paid by other in
dustries, is large enough in some in
stances to pay the wages of the pro-
tected industry. An industry whose
expenses are so largely paid by reason
of taxing other industries, can not
help but be paying one, but the
farmers and laborers who pay such
bonus, must necessarily be the ones
who suffer.
1t is very generous Of the farmers
and laborers to donate over one-third !

Farmers and National Politics.

l
There is no longer doubt as to
the intention of the farmers to take a
hand in national politics and to
emphasize in practical way the need
for legislation in the interests of the
great agricultural sections of the
country.
The methods employed by the farm
ers in attempting 10 secure greater
recognition in congress are worthy of
practical politicians. They have or
ganized themselves into an offensive
and defensive alliance with other
classes of laboring men, and have set
out to control as far as possible the
nominations for seats in the next con-
gress. This is especially true in the
south, where the congressional nomina-
tons in many districts are already in
the hands of the Farmers alliance.
A leading Alabama congressman
has publicly expressed his opinion
that the Farmers alliance may hold
the balance of power in the next
house of representatives. AS basis
for this opinion it is pointed out that
the great strength of the Farmers al
lance in the south and west is caus.
ing so much factional strife in the
dominant parties that the alliance
frequently steps in and controls the
nominations for congress. In the
south the Democratic leaders are often
forced to make terms with the Farm
ers' alliance, and similar condition
ofens prevails in the Republican
strongholds of the western agricultur-
al states.
If the next roundup of congression-
al representatives shall prove that
the farmers have really captured the
balance of power in the popular house,
it will no longer be possible to ignore
the needs of agricultural voters to
legislate for the monopolists. The
farmers will not take their tariff doc
trine from the agents of pampered
monopolies, and there will be scat
teripg of the promoters of class legis-
lation that may presage more
wholesome era. The farmers will al
so have something to say as to trusts
and railroad corporations that will
overflow many prec onceived ideas as
to the rights of the public to protect
itself against the subtle encoachments
Of legalized tyranny.-Chicago Her.

of their earnings to support eastern
capitalists, but il is not wise or sem
sible mode Of doing business. No
farmer or laborer can afford TO give
so largely out of their earnings in
order that the speculations of some
other men may bring immense p,ofts.
The burden is too heavy.
Why the farmers of Alpena should
so many of them support this protec-
ton robbery is wonder to us. We
can not understand why they will
help to make other industries prosper
Gus by running their own.

The West is Ripe for Reform.

We have already called attention
to the fact that the Republican con-
yention in the Seventh Congressional
district of Kansas adopted a platform
which endorsed Mr.. Blaine's reciproci-
ty views, favored reduction of the tar
if, and absolved the nominee of the
convention "from dictation of the par
ty caucus upon all economic issues"
Equally significant as to the drift of
party sentiment on this question among
western Republicans, was the action
in the Second Congressional district
of Nebraska. The convention adopt
ed resolution declaring chat we
heartily endorse the Hale amendment
to the Mckinley bill embodying the
idea of Hon. j. G.. Blaine as to recip-
rocity among American nations" and
nominated candidate who in his
speech of acceptance said: "IfI should
be elected | will do all ! can to repre-
sent the people of Nebraska, and es-
pecially the people of the Second dis
trict. On the question of the tariff l
believe am in accord with the peo-
pie of the west. In the Mckinley
bill there are things would not vote
for" In view of such developments
it is no wonder that both of the Re-
publican senator's from Nebraska have
been found voting for lower tariff rates
than those of the Mckinley bill.-N.

Proposed Tin Plate Steal.

The action Of the Republican party,
the party of protection and oppression
in both the Senate and the Hou Sc in
framing the pending bill, illustrates
in their course upon sugar and tin
plates the opinions and purposes of
that party.
There is no tin industry in the
United States. There is no infant to
protect, but the proposition is to Sec
ure bantling somehow-how we will
see later-and then begin the system
of oppression of the people for its sup
port. The present duty on tin is /
cent per pound, or about 80 per cent.
ad valorum, and the Mckinley bill
provides that after July /, 1891, the
duty shall be 2.15 cents per pound, or
about 70 per cent, and the Senate
committee have reported in favor of
this provision. Thus we have a prac-
tically UNANIMOUS Republican declara-
ton in its favor. The tax paid upon
the tin imported into the United
States during 1889 was 81, 278, 1922.
The tin used in the United States was
increased in its cost to the consumers
by this great sum in the original tax,
not to count interest, profits, ETC.,
every time it changed hands.
Now, after the present Republican
bill becomes law and goes into effect,
if the tin users consume just the same
quantity of this goods that they did
last year, instead of 81, 279, 1912 tax
on this article, they will pay $780,
$3.50; because the purpose Of the
tariff is to increase the price to the
consumer, and the foreign price, plus
the tariff, will fix the price at which
the tin trust--which will then be in
full blast-will sell their tin, as was
illustrated last year in cotton bagging.
The plain and simple purpose of
this provision is to compel the users
of tin to pay $s,371,37S.67 more for
the same quantity of tin than they
now have to pay under the present
law. But this is not all of this vii
lainy.
As the law now stands the tin con-
sumers. as l have said, pay taxes on
that article amounting to 1929. 49,
~, and the Government of the United
States get every cent of that tax. 1t
goes to the public and is used for the
public. When the new. law is in
force, the consumers will pay in taxes
$15,650,S3S 80, but not one cent of it
goes to the government. Every cent
of it will 60 to the manufacturers of
tin plates. Thus the Republican
party proposes to reduce revenue ST.
279, 1912 by increasing taxes $751;
378.67. Then manufacturers will
have $15,650, $3.50 of protection"
and the Government will get nothing.
1t was never intended that any
American government should levy a
tax except for public purposes and
here is tax more than double the
effect of which will be, and of which
is intended to be.-From Senator
Jones Speech.

An Argument for Industrial Democ-
racy.


The wharfage of New York City,
which with reckless lack of provision
we haye allowed to become private
property, is valuable solely because
of the three million people who live
OH and about Manhattan Island.
Every farmer in Illinois helps to en-
nance the value of the Illinois Central
Railroad every shopkeeper in New
York adds to the value of every ware
house.
Thus it is clear that our wealth is
in its source and origin common
wealth. Our system of exchange is
rude method of balancing values with
one another. Possibly there may be
no better one discoverable possibly
no amendment Of it may be conceiv-
able f; but no thoughtful man will
contend that it affords absolute ad-
Justment or represents a divine equal
ity. The wealth of every millionaire
comes from the resources of the land
of which he has gotten control; or
from natural forces, the chief grist of
which falls into his meal bags; or
from public franchises given by the
state and created for the state; or
from that general advantage which
grows spontaneously out of the pre-
sence and power of a generally-diffus-
ed civilization and an increasing pop
ulation. The least part of it is that
which his own effort has created.
The basilar factor in our civilization
is that wealth. like political power, is
of the people. And therefore it
ought to be for the people. AT pres.
emit it certainly is not.-Rev. DR.. Ly-
man Abbott in the August Forum.

Why Eggs Spoil.
Hamilton, S. C..

In reply to the query, "Why do eggs
spoil?" american CuNiuat0r says:
"Whenever a fertilized egg is raised
to temperature of 92 degs the Matching
process begins, and when temperature
falls much below this point the process
ceases. These conditions are found in
the warm days and cool nights of summer.
During the long, hot days the Matching
process is at work during the short, cool
night it ceases. After three or four al.
terations of this kind the embryo chick
dies and the rotting process begins. Now
it is evident that if the eggs were not
fertilized the Matching would not begin.
Neither would the rotting, and hence
there would be an absence of rotten eggs.
The remedy, therefore, is to prevent fer.
tilization of the eggs, and this can be
done by the destruction of roosters. Ev-
cry rooster not intended especially for
breeding should be killed or sold to the
huckster as soon as big enough to eat.
Not over one good rooster should be kept
on any farm, and that one cooped and
mated with not to exceed ten hens, and
the eggs from those hens should be kept
or sold expressly for hatching. The
other hens should be kept especially for
eggs for market or table use, and no
rooster should ever be allowed among

index Of the prosperity and the morality
ofa community is the standing of their

But, thank the good Lord for. his mer-

universal. Go to Pine Log or Euharlee,

want to see Sunday schools. These are
all country settlements, and some one Of
