Money Coming 60 the Farmers.

The money IS coming West 70 move

was made ten days ago. It went di-

These facts show what the farmers
are getting out OF this harvest. The

II there was any one lie more per
sistently adhered 70 than another by
the Democracy during the campaign
it was the claim tha the Mckinley
tariff law would ruin the country
The results OF that law show an en-
Jlrely different state OF affairs. Bus
ipess Ia the Uaited States has been
constantly improving, but the trade
of England has been struck a severe
blow This is the way the st. james
Gazette puts IL: Judging from the
returns issued by the board OF trade
10 looks as though we have already
reached the end OF good times. The
great decline in the exports from Great
Britain is undoubtedly due TO the oper-
alton OF the Mckinley law in the
United States. We have been told
that that act would eventually prove
a real misfortune 10 the United States.
but its immediate object was 10 hit
foreign manufae turers, especially those
OF Great Britain, and it Is plainly evil
dent that this object has been at
tanned
The effect on England Is only the
incident OF the passage OF the bill.
The main purpose OF it was TO add TO
our own national prosperity, by en-
couraging the manufacture at home
OF whatever we need. thus keeping
our money here and giving our
own laborers employment. There
is no reason why this country should
support English manufacturers, trades
men and iaborcrs by the purchase
from them OF whatever we can pro-
vide for ourselves. but there are many
good reasons why we should not.
This country owes nothing to England
II exists and has prospered not by her
permission or consent, but in spite OF
her. As colonies this country owed
nothing TO her; while fighting for In
barbarians and Hessian hirelings TO
subdue us: In 1912 she did what she
could to bully and brow-beat us and
in the war OF the rebellion she took a
cowardly way 20 defeat us-and paid
roundly for IL when she had to do so.
While the United States ought to be
too noble 20 aim any mere vengeful
blow at England. still il Is not under
the slightest obligation to consider
England's interest in the least. when
our own are ut stake. The true policy
for this nation is TO take care OF itself
and depend on England for nothing.
NJ natics, can receive fair treatment
from England, unless IL is financially,
commercially and martially able to
snap its fingers In her face, as we are.
S
The Inter-Ocean suggests a good
way to replenish the United States
treasury, II 1t Ia so nearly empty as
the Democracy claims. 1t is this:
1.-The owners of Kentucky whisky owe
Uncle Sam In round numbers $751;
600, 900 for taxes on whisky. which
they will have to pay soon unless the
time OF payment is extended. As DEM
ocrats have contended that the treas
ury was hard up they might be
taken at their own word, and be
asked to pay promptly. There is no
reason why the payment OF the tax
should be again extended. Let Uncle
Sam have the benefit OF the money
and the Democratic party the bene-
fit OF the whisky"
