THE NEW TARIFF BILL.

WILMINGTON News.
THE representatives of the people at
Washington have settled the tariff issue
in accordance with the vote of 1888.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
TIE tariff has been revised from a
national standpoint, and it has been
adopted by the Republican party, and
it will stand. The country is to be con-
graduated upon this outcome.
Minneapolis Tribune
TIE business effects of this great
measure can now be safely predicted. 1t
is to usher in period of almost unex
ampled prosperity. And no interest is
to be effected by it so favorably as our
foundation interest, agriculture. 1t is,
above all else, farmers tariff.
Kansas City Journal.
From protective. standpoint the bill
is the most perfect that has ever been
passed. 1t is Republican measure, and
for the results that follow its enforce
ment the party will be held responsible.
We do not fear the responsibility,provid-
ing the law is given fair trial.
Milwaukee Seetinel.
THE country will now have the oppor-
tunity to learn by practical experience
the effect of this bill, concerning which
its opponents have made such rash and
dismal predictions. The Republicans
await the result with entire confidence
that events will demonstrate the false
ness and hollowness of those predictions.
Cleveland Leader.
THE tariff bill is the Mckinley bill,
the strongest protective measure ever
adopted. The assaults upon it have
availed nothing. Major Mckinley and
his associates may well be proud of their
work. OF the benefcent results of the
measure no protectionist has any doubts.
1t means prosperity even to the free
traders.
New York Tribune.
UNLESS the new bill proves far more
defective in working than any of its
friends expect, the Republican party
will soon be able to point to its splendid
results as vindication of the wisdom
of those who framed it. Republican
leaders in the Senate and in the House
will have reason to be proud of the re-
suit of their long and weary labor.

WHILE the Atlanta Constitution notes
the fact that there is a general move
ment toward pensiOning ex- Confederate
veterans, the Philadelphia Press sug-
gests that the South use some of the
money that it spends for monuments
and statues and other memorials of the
war, to pension the poor and suffering
old soldiers of the South There is
cold -bloOded selfishness in neglecting
common charity to the living heroes of
the war who are in want and distress,
to build monuments to dead heroes and
a dead cause. And the South boasts of
its prosperity and rapid progress in the
accumulation of wealth, and is amply
able to provide for her crippled veterans
and comfort the declining years for men
who fought so bravely and lost their all.
Let the Sonth turn aside awhile from
singing praises to their soldiers and
building monuments, to the practical
and praiseworthy work of relief, care
and protection of those who need it. AT
present the South does not occupy
particularly attractive attitude in this
matter. The care of her crippled and
INDECENT veterans will put her in a much
better and pleaSanter light than the ut
terances of eulogies, the adoption of res
olutions, the celebration of Confederate
anniversaries and the building of mon
uments at vast expense.

THE ORIGIN OF CORN.

The management of the Sioux City
Corn Palace in their announcement of
the coming opening of their exhibition
have this to say about the origin of corn:
This wonderful product, which has
conferred such substantial benefits on
the world, strange to say, is of unknown
origin; its genesis is wrapped in mystic
ry, or at least not definitely fixed. a
writer says: Like wheat and barley its
origin is lost in the twilight of antiqui-
ty." 1t was first cultivated in the Uni
ted States by the English, however, on
James River, Virginia, in 1908, the seed
being obtained from Indians, who claim
ed to be the first discoverers of the
plant-receiving it direct from the
hands of the Creator Schoolcraft gives
the NEUROLOGICAL history of it:
"A young man went out into the
woods to fast, and at that period of life
when youth is exchanged for manhood
He built a lodge of boughs in seclud-
ed place and painted his face of SOM
Der hue. BY day he amused himself in
walking about, looking at the various
shrubs and plants, and at night lay
down in his bower, looking up through
its opening into the sky. He sought
gift from the Master of Life and he hop
ed it would be something to benefit his
race. On the third day he became too
weak to leave his lodge, and as he lay
down in the shape of beautiful young
man dressed in green, and having green
plumes on his head, who told him to
arise and wrestle with him, as this was
the only way in which he could obtain
his wishes. He did so, and found his
renewed by the effort.
"The visit and trial of wrestling was
for four days, the youth feel
ing at each trial that, although his bodi
ly strength declined, a moral and super
natural energy was impaired, which
promised him the final victory. On the
third day his celestial visitor spoke to
him. TO morrow he said, will be the
seventh day of your fast, and the last
time shall wrestle with you. You will
triumph over me and gain your wishes.
As soon as you have thrown me down
strip off my clothes and bury me on the
spot in soft earth. When you have done
this, leave me, but come occasionally to
keep the weeds from growing. Once or
twice cover me with fresh earth
"He then departed, but returned next
day, and, as he had predicted, was
thrown down. The young man obeyed
his instructions in every particular, and
soon had the pleasure of seeing the
green plumes of his visitor shooting up
through the ground. He carefully
weeded the earth and left it fresh and |
soft, and in due time was gratified by |
Deholding the matured plant, bending |
with it golden fruit, and gracefully |
waving its green leaves and yellow
asset in the wind. He then invited his
parents to the spot to behold the new
)lant. 1T is Mondamin,' exclaimed his
'ather. 1T is the spirit grain They
prepared feast and invit-
ID their friends to partake of it, and this
S the origin of Indian corn.'

MONTH after month our friends, the
free trade enemy, deluded themselves
with the expectation that the Republican
party would be rent asunder by the at
tempt to enact a Tariff bill. In the end
the party is found united and triumphant,
and it is the opposition that shows signs
of decentralization. The Democrats in
the House lacked the courage to stand
and be counted when the final vote on
the conference report was reached, and
majority of seventy-one was recorded
in favor of the bill.

Russian Wheat.

While the quantity of American
wheat sold to great Britain fell off from
over ninety million bushels In 1887 to
tlfty-five and a quarter million bushels
in 1889 the quantity supplied by Russia
increased nearly fourfold in the same
time-that is to say, from 10,354, ,6O7
bushels In 1887 to 9,S0O.372 bushels in
1899. Not because the United States
had not the wheat to sell, but because
wheat could be bought cheaper from
Russia than America
Consumers were too hard pressed by
poverty to give heed to theories Of reci-
procity in commerce. They bought their
bread of those who sold cheapest, and as
the Russian serf works for less money
than has to be paid the American farm
laborer, not only have prices been ham,
mered down, but Russian wheat-sup-
plemented by more than 10000, 900 BUSH
els from India in lSSe-has been crowd
ing the American product from the
markets Of western Europe

"AMERICA will be the chief sufferer
in the end" This Is the conventional
way in which the London press moralizes
over the enactment of the Mckinley bill.
For thirty years the English Free Trader

suits of the American economic policy.
Meanwhile, the United States has been

ENGLAND AND Her FARMERS.
The Lessons Received from the American
Policy of Protection

The Lessons Received from the American
Policy of Protection.
Great Britain has never for day or
an hour, since the beginning of her great
war on her farmers by Withdrawing all
protection to their products, been with
out able and energetic protesters against
that great iniquity, and their well di-
rected efforts must tell In the not dis
tant future. AT present nothing seems
so to exasperate John Bull as the great
lessons which this nation is teaching Of
how protection to home labor dissemi-
mates industry, intelligence and comfort
among our people.
1t was that feeling Of evaporation
which impelled The London Contempt
rary Review not many years ago to mo-
mentarily forget its customary courtesy
to opponents and to curse us editorially.
in part as follows;
Wherever England turns, in the case
of her own colonies even, she finds Amer
ica, and always America distinctively,
in her path of argument. It Is assumed
that evesything is finally settled when
American prosperity Is quoted to us. and
the present writer can state from his
own experience that the one infallible
resource of the controversialists on the
other side Of the Atlantic is to unfold
the brightly colored panorama Of Amer
ica'swell being. Some silly people among
ourselves even have had their intellects
obfusticated in the same way. Survey
ing the whole scene, it may in fact be
soberly and sadly said that the politico-
economical doctrines Of universal inter
relation and cooperation among man

made it the great task Of England to
spread. would at this hour be farther
advanced throughout the world If Amer

TRYING TO WORK TIE ALLIANCE

IL lNU 1O w Ohh Tile AI1lLlANO
Cleveland Leader.
1t is understood that Mr.. Thaddeus
E. Cromley, the Democratic candidate
for Secretary of State, is trying to work
the Farmers Alliance racket for all
that it is worth. Being member of the
Alliance in Pickaway county he pre-
sumes that it gives him a special hold
upon the organization and upon Alli-
ance men all over the State. When Mr..
Cromley appeals to the farmers in this
way they will do well to ask him why it
was that he voted for every one of the
dirty partisan measures passed by the
Democratic Legislature last winter, and
what there is in his record to prove him
one whit more worthy of the suffrages
of the farmers of the State than is
"Drivewell" Okey, whose name follows
Cromley's on the ticket and whom the
farmers of Ohio have good cause to re-
member. The truth is Cromley's bid for
the farmers vote is insincere and made
for the purpose of deceiving, and the
farmers will do well to pay little atten
tion to a man who has always shown
himself the obedient servant of the
worst bosses of his party.

THE Democratic party of Wisconsin
is becoming more and more emaciated
as result of its attack upon the public
school system, and in the election this
fall will be knocked out by one of the
largest majorities ever given against it.
Th people are rallying in defense of the
public schools as they did in defense of
the Union quarter of century ago.
The result of the election in Wisconsin
will teach the enemies of the public
schools throughout the country very
severe lesson. The party in any State
that opposes the public schools will fall
and be crushed.

A New JERSEY Democrat, talking to
George Alfred Townsend, cited the fol-
lowing instance as proof of the benefit
he had derived from protection to Amer
ican industries:
l sold piece of property lately which
cost my father one-thrd of $1,000, for
the sum of 100000, and the man | sold
it to had already sold it before he got it
from me for $4,000. This was the res
idue of my fathers estate, and it insured
me, with moderate attention, support
for the remainder of my life. 1 owe that
endowment to the rise of industries and
mercantile pursuits in the vicinity of
my property which had at one time
been all political in Its surroundings.
