Mr.. Browns Address.

The address of Mr.. Frank Brown ut the
Farmers convention at Pikesville on Wed
nesday, which is published in this issue,
sketches the depressed condition of agrlcul-
lure today, states some Of the causes OF the
decline. and contains suggestions of relief
Agriculture has been burdened for nearly
thirty years to build up manufactures, through
Federal tax laws. Diversity of farming and
stock and cattle breeding are essential to
agricultural prosperity, but there can be no
substantial revival of farming interests with
ont more equitable distribution of the bur
dens of government aud lcssening OF taxa
ton that there may be ireer trade and IL
wider market provided for our surplus farm
products State and county taxation do not
burden the farmer. 1t is the Federal tax that
grinds, and it is paid whenever any article of
necessity is purchased. For pensions alone,
it costs nearly three dollars taxation for every
man, woman and child and nearly seven dol
lars for the whole expense Of government.
The first duty of the farmer is 10 compel, by
the use of the ballot, strict economy i'll public
that all unworthy pensioners may be dropped;
n repeal of all subsidies and bounties TO IA
vored interests; and reduction Of taxation
that is laid for protection, not revenue, and
gives license for monopolies TO lay agriculture
under tribute. The building and equipping
of railroads in this country has been unpre-
cedented in the last ten years. By reason of
protective tariffs they have cost one third
more than is reasonable, and freight rates
have to be made high to pay interest on the
investments. The farmer mainly pays this,
and he has been and is taxed heavily that
manufactures may thrive. In fact he has
been taxed into poverty, and driven almost
into bankruptcy by our policy of almost non
intercourse. Nations are like individuals.
They trade with those that trade with them.
If we don't take their products they won't
take ours. Our high wall of taxation keeps
out foreign goods, and foreign countries take
no more of ours than their necessities compel.
We want frcer trade, wider market. When
by combination farmers can compel greater
economy in public expenditures and a lessen
ing of taxation, and thus widen the markets
for their products, agriculture will revive.
Intelligent cultivation and diversity of farm
ing will then complete the restoration ofagri-
esltnre TO its former prosperity.
Mr. Brown, in his address, gives as one of
the causes of the decline of agriculture, the
inauguration of the protective policy of our
oovernment and he could have trllthfully
cited it as the chief and main cause. In
building up manufactures, agriculture. the
basis of all wealth, has been dragged down. land
the first interest of the farmer is to compel a
change in this ruinous, unjust and unconsti-
tntional policy.

The Mckinley Law and Its Enemies.

Petersburg, Va, Index~Appeal (Dem.)
We have on previous occasions de-
clared our opposition to many feat
ures of the Mckinley bill, but we can
not help loving it for the enemies it
is making in England, Germany and
other parts of Europe. Germany is
mad clear through, but Germany
doesn't remember that the farmers
and stock raisers of the United States
were also ''mad clear through when
the American hog was refused adj
mission to the German market.
And England also raises a howl
all the more significant because her
politicians and manufacturers were
won't to assure us that we were the
chief sufferers by the policy of exelu-
sion of foreign competition and the
encouragement of American indus
trial independence. Their resentment
may carry them to the extremity of
bringing their plants to this country,
and from this base continue the war
on our manufactures. Let them
come. If he wants this market. let
him come and take it in this manner.
and he will have the good will and
God blessing of every true American
heart.
The bill, with all its faults, has also
endeared itself to our heart on ac-
count of another eneny-the import
err That foreign American-w is
here for revenue only--is the bitter
and most insidious, not to say hyp-
ocritical, of the enemies of American
industrial progress and development.

inconsistent Boston Herald.
Home Market Bulletin.

Editorialy the Boston Herald SAYS
that prices of both imported and
domestic goods have gone up, but a
great many of the advertisements in
its columns quote lower prices than
ever before and the Hprald's own
trade reports mention that the prices
of such an important article as oyer
coats are even lower than the same
goods were made to sell for last
year" 1t would seem that the Her
aid is house divided against itself.
1t reminds us of a story told of the
late Judge Poland OF Vermont.
When he represented st. JOhnsbury
in the legislature he made a strong
temperance speech one day and
afterwards was seen drinking at his
hotel. A fellow member asked him
to explain, and this was his answer:
When | speak, | speak for st. Johns
bury, but when | drink, | drink for
Poland" The HePald's business col
umns fairly represent Boston, but
editorially it is too fond of drinking
for Britain.

Mr.. Cleveland's teaching on this
subject in his well known free trade
message was as follows:
These 1.-THE tariff laws, as their
primary plain effect, raise the price
to consumers of all articles imported
and subject to duty, by precisely the
SUM paid for such duties. y
Millions of our people, who never use
and never saw any of the foreign
products, purchase and use things
of the same kind made in this coun-
try, and pay therefor nearly or quite
the same enhanced price which the
duty adds to the imported article.
Mr.. Cleveland's teaching often
comes in collision with hard facts
like that above quoted, and it is
hardly necessary to say that the
facts are not harmed by the collision.

The contest in New Hampshire is a
clean victory for the Republicans.
The Democrats applied to the courts
to instruct the clerk of the House as
10 his duty, which meant to tell him
TO make a roll with Democratic ma
iority. The court held, unanimously,
that it had no business to interfere,
and two of the judges were Demo-
Gratis. The Republicans organized the
House, and seated the Republican
Governor, and a Republican Senator
will be chosen. Harry Bingham was
the Democratic leader, and some of
his revolutionary motives caused
considerable merriment among his
own party.
