1.-THE POOR TAXED FARMER"

Not So Badly or as the Free-Traders
Would Have Us Think.
The American farmer was never before
an object of SO much solicitude to our
Free-trade friends as now. They find
that they cannot cajole the workingman,
whose intelligence tells him what he
owes to a Protective tariff, SO the arrows
of the Free trader are aimed at Che 1'poor
taxed farmer" And yet we hear of few
if any converts. The farmer is not SO
ignorant as the tariff s1nashers think or
as they would have us think. Ha knows
that all classes of agricultural nipple
ments are cheaper in this country than
any part of the world and better too.
All kinds of heavy hollow ware, such
as stoves, kettles and the like, are
cheaper here than in Europe. Nails,
builders tools, house furnishing, hard
ware, furniture and wooden ware are
all cheaper here than there. This has
been proven time and time again, and
any one who viii take the trouble to COM
pare our prices with a list from abroad
viii have to acknowledge the truth. But
it is said the prices Of farm products are
constantly falling, and the '4poor farmer"
cannot get even living price for his
corn, wheat and other produce.
Admitting that the prices of agricult-
ural products are low, we can affirm as
an offset that the American farmer pays
less per ton per mile in the way of freight
upon the grain and meat that he sells
and the cloth and ploIys that he buys
than does the farmer Of any other eoun-
try. If the price for corn and wheat is
low let him raise something else. The
farmer who adapts himself to the condi-
ton Of affairs is everywhere prosperous.
The farmer, like every enc else, who does
not keep abreast of the times is wonder
ing why Protection does not bring him
prosperity.
Our farmers have a market at home
practically sufficient TO consume all their
products. This market Will enlarge as
we diversity cur industries, and if We keep
out everything that we can raise at
home our farmers will have no COM
plants to make, for they will have a
ready sale at good prices for all they
grow. The intelligent farmers know
this and with the passage Of the coming
tariff bill, which will mere than ever
protect the agricultural interests, viii
come an era Of prosperity.

There is a certain bloated bondholder on
Main street who iEBagiSes himself the per
sonidcstion of politeness. But he isn't.
It is a faverite practice Of his 10 call down
his friends and acquaintance for their
shortcomings in this respect so the follow
ing little JOKE on him viii be duly appreci-
ated BY all who know him. He was sitting
in his office the other day with couple OF
business friends, whsn a neigh boring ofii2e
boy entered the august presence and, de
uvsripg note 10 the polite individual sat
down without removing his hat. Here
was the hore's Opportunity.
MY boy" said ne blandly, do you not
generally remove yeur hat in the presence
of gentlemen"
The youHgster looked up and with q wis
dora ana boIdness beyond his years grsvely
respondeds Invariably. sir; invariably, :
and as he still retained his bat on his head
the polite man and hia friends drew their
own oncluSions-Bzffalo Courier.

that the committee seems 10 have cked
courage to attack mere severely our in
ternal revenue system. The taxes on
various forms of the tobacco industry
have been reduced OF removed, but we
believe that the committee wsuld have
been sustained by the country if all
kinds of Internal revenue taxes ON tobac-
co had been removed. It should have
been announced, as part Of the Repub-
hcan creed, that internal revenue taxes
were to be ultimately abolished, and a
long step IN this direction should have
been taken In the proposed bill. 1t is,
however, easy to complain and to find
fault, and we are inclined to think that
even those who complain loudest, had
they themselves been in the committee,
hearing all the evidence and weighing
all the facts, would have reached prac-
tically the same conclusion which the
committee has reached.
As to the amount Of revenue which
faia hill IF a5n,,taa will oJ1oIiah Mr.
Mckinley states it IN his report at about
seventy millions. If this estimate should
prove to be correct, and it seems to be
well founded, 1t is possible if not proba-
BILE that within two years, instead Of
hearing cries Of surplus from the party
which is hostile TO the tariff, we shall
hear complaints of insufficient revenue.
From this time forward the bin will
progress steadily toward its adoption,
and when adopted, Republicans and Pro-
tecdonistS everywhere need not and
should not hesitate in giving it earnest,
cordial support. 1t will be the most
complete, most carefully prepared and
most impartial tariff legislation ever
presented to the country. It looks to
the promotion Of all our industrial in
terests, whether farming, mining, manu-
featuring and commercial, with partial
ity toward none and with a single eye
toward the equal development Of all, IN
behalf of all our people Of whatever
class or occupation.
We confidently believe that, coupled
with the new administrative bin, it will
meet the needs Of the nation, remove OBJ
structions in the pathway of It's prosper
ity, encourage wider diversity of occu.
pations, stimulate new enterprises and
set in motion all over the country the
wheels Of national progress.
The measure, then, invites and do
nands the support of all patriotic meR.
