IT is we'll to bear in mind at the
present time, when the Democratic
Jeremiahs are relating the woes of the
farmers of this country, that the far
mers themselves are not doing the
talking. When any of them do talk
it is not to repeat cries of the dema-
gogues that the agricultural interests
are in bad shape. An Iowa farmer
commenting on the talk of hard times
said the other day: GHOST of our
grievances are imaginary. Were any
of you alivein 1912? [ lived in East
ern Iowa, a territory at that time,
and hauled shelled corn from Morn
ing Sun to Burlington--twen eight

pork and hauled it to the same town
for y cents per pound, and made our
own clothing, lived on pork, corn
bread and rye coffee, went without
shoes and were very happy"

AN APT ILLUSTRATION.
What Reciprocity Really Is and How II
Would Work If Adopted.

The Democratic press is sedulously
cultivating the idea that there is some
thing incompatible between Blaine's
reciprocity idea (which is no new thing,
as we have had reciprocity for years
with the Sandwich Islands) and the
Mckinley tariff bill. They also are en-.
deayoring to claim that Blaine's scheme
is step in the direction of free trade.
Both these positions are erroneous. Let
us take homely but truthful illustra-
ton, that will be easily comprehended
by every schoolboy in the land:
Protection is the fence around our
pasture field, which prevents other peo-
pies cattle from coming to share it
with our own.
Free trade proposes to tear down the
fence and allow any and all cattle to
come in and Craze.
Reciprocity keeps up the fence, but
makes bargain with neighbor that a
specific number of head of cattle can be
admitted to the pasture, IL in return an
equitable number of our cattle shall be
allowed to Craze in our neighbor's clover
field.
The point is clear that there is abso-
Lutte harmony between protection and
reciprocity, and none whatever be-
tween reciprocity and free trade.
Mr.. Blaine is a protectionist and
favors the Mckinley bill. The discus
sion on the reciprocity project at Wash
ington among Republican leaders is not
over the policy itself, but a careful
consideration of the manner of doing 1t,
and of the probability of other countries
accepting it.
For, to recur to the illustration above,
there isn't much use in making the
proposition for an exchange of pastur-
age, If the neighbor doesn't care about
letting our stock Craze on his clover. 1t
takes two to make a bargain.
Another point that needs careful con-
sideration and elaboration is the method
Of making reciprocity effective. 1t is
proposed that the President shall have
the power to suspend our tariff with re-
gard to certain products of another
country. when that country withdraws
its tariff from goods We produce for ex-
port. Here is power that must be
carefully guarded, or we may get the
little end of the bargain, as we do in our
reciprocity scheme with Hawaii.
These weighty questions can not be
solved in day or week. The clamor
of the Democratic press will neither
hasten nor retard action on the matter
The sole question is the actual benefit
of the country, not answering the
clamor of an opposition press, which is
all sound and fury. signifying nothing.

II do not know" SAYS Senator Justin

that has received tariff protection for a
series of years that is not now sold for a
much less price than it was before it

Every American consumer. as we'll as
every American producer or manufact-
urer, who has noted the course of gen.
eral prices, knows Senator Morrill's
conclusion to be as sound as gospel
truth.
The establishment and development
OF American industry furnishes COM
petition with foreign producers and
manufacturers which compels a re-
duction in prices charged by foreigners,
and prevents foreign combinations from
holding American consumers at their
mercy.
Then there is a further competition
created among American producers and
manufacturers; and it is this internal
competition which has been chiefly in
strumental in regulating prices and
protecting the American consumer.
The protective tariff. therefore, Is de-
signed in the interest of American con-
sumers by providing double competi-

American and the foreign producers and
manufacturers; on the other hand be-
tween American producers and manu-
facturers themselves The effect OF the
double competition in regulating and re-

Wisconsin Republicans Earnestly support
Their Party Leader.
Two years ago W. d. Hoard was called
from his newspaper to be the candidate
Of the Republican party. His friends
were mostly among the farmers who
had learned his solid worth, his
reasonableness, his infiexible integ-
rity, his courage and his absolute
freedom from the least faint Of
demagogy. He has made mistakes, per.
haps, the mistakes common to honest
men inexperienced in public office, but
the quick sensitiveness of his patriot
ism, his complete disregard of the Or
binary suggestions of alarmed poll
ticians when patriotic principle is at
stake, has endeared him to the people,
who have looked with intense interest
to this convention to express their affec.
ton and esteem. His two years of sx-
perience has fitted him to meet with in
telligence every demand of the offics.
He has never affirmed the perfection
of the Bennett law in its details, as his
letters and speeches show, but he has
adhered doggedly to the idea that the
existence of our. free institutions de-.
ponds on the education of the people,
and that to deny the right Of the State
to enforce reasonable measure d edu-
cation is to assault the very founda-
tions Of the Republic. He .comss be-
fore the people of the State again to be
Endorsed or condemned on his record as
an honest patriot, on his determined
stand in favor Of the little school house
as the factory Of intelligent and de-
voted citizens. Sentinel .

THE ELECTION BILL.
The Dignity OF the Nation Demands the
. Passage OF the Lodge Measure.

Aho Dtshity OF th6 NATION demands the
w Passage OF the Lodge Measure.
Obviously, the urgency Of the Federal
election bill lies in the approach of the
Congressional elections If that bill
can not be agreed upon and given effect
as law in time for its mechanism to be
placed in successful operation for the
November contests, 1t might be left
over for the next session as we'll as not.
But the Republicans of the country
will, for the most part, be keenly disap-
pointed If the Senate's sluggish meth
DDS shall succeed in making the work of
the House useless. The bill is fair,
unsectional, non-partisan plan for Sc
curing honest Federal elections 1t
does not touch State or local elections,
and it has nothing in 1t to arouse the
opposition of well-doers. Calling 1t a
"force bill" does not affect the situa-
ton. Ultimately and Indirectly the bill
might seem to authorize the use of the
strong arm" to protect the lawful voter
in the right to vote. Practically, Of
course, it is an anti-force bill At pres
emit force is freely used in some parts Of
ehO OOuhbhy W piCNchs ioir duu uOucSt
elections; and this bill is intended in
part to prevent such criminal violence.
Some of the most intelligent Repub-
licans are urging that the South is al
ready losing its solidity and is break.
ing up upon local temperance questions,
farmers alliance issues and the like.
They urge that the passage of the Fed
ersl election law would check this
process of disintegration, and reunite
the old white mans party" of the
South. The argument is not wholly
strong. The divisions on temperance
and farmers questions affect purely To-
cal elections, but do not enter impor-
family into National contests. The
Democrats hold the Congressional dis
tricts as strongly as even and Republic
ans, as such, have scant consideration.
Would not the establishment of honest
Federal elections under the auspices Of
the general Government tend to encour-
age honest elections in State and local
affairs, and facilitate the processes Of
division among the Southern white men
that are now hailed as promise of bet
ter things9 The argument is double
edged. Laying aside all astute consid-
erations, is it not true that the dignity
and honor of our Federal institutions
