Free Trade Croakers.

Free traders in this country do not
like the Mckinley bill any more than
they do their foreign free trade breth-
rem. They ridicule it, call it selfish,
unjust, mercenary and illiberai, and
lose no opportunity to misrepresent
it and make it obnoxious.
But all the while the people see the
workings of this bill for themselves,
and they know the croakings OF these
pessimistic free traders. They ses
that idle factories are starting up al
over the country, that American cap
ital and American labor are engaging
IN the manufacture of tin, wooden
goods, laces, and many other articles
which Americans usein greater guam
titles than any other nation on the
globe, but which heretofore had been
bought in foreign markets. And then
too, sugar and many other things
which cannot be produced here, are
made free of duty, and lower priced
to our people than ever before. And
they see also that instead ofthe Me
Kinley bill acting as Chinese wall,
as the free traders claim, that the ex-
ports and imports from January 1st
to May 9Th, inclusive, are greater in
1891 than in 1890 or 1889, by sew
eral million dollars.

POSSIBLE Now TO MAKE BUNTING IN
THIS COUNTRY.-Ben Butler says that
during the war no bunting could be
made in this country, and the price
per piece was from $50 to $35. After
the war a tariff of 40 per cent. was
put on bunting, and $4,000 looms in
this country renow making bunting
for SIS per piece. Some people claim.
continued Ben, that the tariff is ad-
ded to the price; but with duty of
five cents a yard on calico, print cloths
sella three and three-quarter cents a
yard. These are some tariff facts
which Ben's Democratic admirers will
do well to ponder over. And if they
suggest that Ben Butler has personal
reason to speak with enthusiasm of
the bunting revival, because he is in
terested in the business, they only
cllnch the protection argument by
proof that the witness is a competent
onewho speaks from experience-Pat-
erson Press.

Good Times for the Farmer.

If present indications are fulfilled,
the western farmer will be too busy
and too prosperous during the com
inc season to devote much time to
politics. The crop prospects are all
encouraging, and only unforeseen
events will prevent an abundant
WELD. Prices-for farm products are
high. There has been an advance
during the last twelve months of
more than 100 per cent. in the price
of corn and oats, thirty per cent. in
wheat in first markets, thirtY-two
per cent. in Chicago for choice beeves,
and in fact advances in the values OF
nearly every farm crop. And the
prospect is that there will be DO very
come. The surplus stocks are nearly
exhausted, leaving no reserve to OPP
crate against renumerative prices for
the expected large crops of this sea-
son. Then, too, the demand will be
prompt, and the farmers will be en-
abled to make early sales without
sacrifice, thus securing immediate use
v.
Another encouraging feature is the
prospect for a large foreign demand.
The growing crops abroad are prom
ising a yield below the average, while
the present supplyis almost exhaust
ed. AS Europe under the most favor
able conditions does not produce
enough wheat to supply it's markets,
the opportunity for profitable export
will be presented to the American
producer. France is revisingits tariff,
and by reducing duties on wheat and
-four encourages a large increase in
shipments to that country from
America. Thereciprocity agreements
also promise an enlarged field for
American cereals, Cuba alone stand
ing ready to take an additional half
million barrels of -four. Brazil, too,
may be depended upon to call for in
creased supplies, and altogether the
outlook for a very large export of
American cereals has never been
brighter. Under such conditions the
western farmer will have no use for a
sub-treasury scheme, as the ready
IldEheDS VIII OllcI DcUtCI 70
than any plan for government loans
on his crops. In fact, the coming
summer bids fair to kill many a wild
scheme to make everybody rich by
legislation. The political demagogues
who hope to build themselves
up on the alleged woes of the farmers
may mourn, but all Others will re-
joice at the approach of healthier and
happier days.
The potato crop for several years
has been of moderate proportions,
and Just now there is a scarcity OF
stock As a result prices are up and
Canadian potatoes are rushing into
our market Notwithstanding the duty
of twenty-five cents per bushel under
the new tariff But for that barrier
our farmers could not face this COM
petition. With favorable conditions
this year not only will American po-
tatO raisers have a good crop, and
they will reap the benefit of the addi-
tional safeguard provided by the
much-abused Mckinley act Thus
evidence accumulates that the farmer
east and west is likely to have more
than a usually prosperous year.

The FOREST FIRES abundant
rains that have lately fallen appear
to have largely extinguished the for
est fires that have been raging in the
Northwest, and the only danger now
anticipated is in the half-charred dis
trlcts where the fire still shoulders in
the stumps and underbrush. The
damage already done by these fires is
sufficiently large, however. 1t is es-
tlmated that the loss in Michigan,

somewhere from $4,000, 900 to ST.
