Farmer Whiting.

Recent democratic candidate for
governor at the Monona county DEM
ocratic rally introduced Gov. Boies
with this eulogy:
AS the man who, holding high
official position, had the courage to
go down to the great metropolis Of
the nation and tell the plutocracy OF
the east that the limit of endurance
had been reached by the farmers OF
the west, and that their necessities
must be relieved by the legislative
power Of the government. For thus
standing for the rights of the west he
had been assailed and villified by
every monopolist, protective tariff
baron and money king Of the coun-
try. Their servile tools in Iowa have
taken up the cry and the charge has
been sounded from stump and print
ed in the party organs that your
governor has slandered your state.
AS q farmer and one in whose in
terests the governor had spoken in
New York, Judge Whiting denied
the charge. Not word had been
uttered derogatory to the state. The
truth only in relation to this great
industry had been told, and the truth
is never SANDER. Then, after few
words of personal eulogy of the chief
executive, Judge Whiting introduced
the speaker, who was warmly re-
ceiyed as he arose to speak.

shERMAN,s ANTITRUST LAW.
VIII It he Enforced Against tho Glass
Trusts?

Will It BE Enforced Against tho Glass
Trusts?
Sherman's universal panacea for cur
ing or killing trusts and combinations
has put the Mckinley organs, notably
the Chicago Inter-Ocean and the Cleve-
land Leader, in the hole.
These high tariff journals declared
after its passage that it would effectu-
ally put an end to all trusts and combi-
nations whatsoever, but not one has go
far succunbed to it, nor has a single suit
been brought by the attorney general
against them. And now these organs
are wailing because the trusts have
neither obeyed the law nor needed their
warnings. In the meantime the car
fridge trust and the lead trust and others
are getting out of tho tariff all there is
in it.
And in spite Of the terror, which, &C
cording to these organs, ought to have
been inspired by the antitrust law, thir-
teen of the largest flint glass companies
have formed trust under the name Of
the United States Glass company, with
a capitalization of 1900. 900.
This new trust consists of the follow
ing concerns: King Glass company,
Ripley & Co., George Duncan & Sons,
Adams & Co., O'Hara Glass company
Qimited), and Bryce Bros, all Of Pitts
burg; Richards & Hartley Glass COM
pany; Challinor, Taylor s. Co. Qimitedl
Tarentum; Gillinder e. Sons, Green's
burg; Hobbs Glass company, Wheeling;
Bellaire Goblet company and the Colum-
bia Glass company, Findlay, and the
Nickel Plate Glass company, Fostoria.
The trust, by its control over the trade,
will be able to raise the average Of divi-
dends to over 60 per cent, instead Of
from 40 to so per cent, paid by these con-
Germs during the past ten years.
Here are the dividends Of one Of these
flint glass companies: January, 1883, 90
per cent; August, 1883, 20 Per cent.
January, 1884, 40 per cent; July, 1884,
20 per cent; January, 1885, 40 per cent.
July, 1885, so per cent. The Nickel
Plate company, one of the members Of
the new trust, started three years ago.
Since that time it has doubled its capacity
out Of its earnings. The stock Of the
Columbia company, also in the trust,
has increased in value since 1885 over
200 per cent.
These are but characteristic instances.
And now that the duty on the products
of this trust has been increased by the
Mckinley tariff from 40 to 45 per cent.
| ad yalorem to GO per cent, not counting
duties on packing and other charges,
the dividends will surely average over
so per cent. per year. Does this trust

FATE and facts seem to cOnspire
against the republicans this far this
fall. They tried to prove the falsity
of the governors speech but facts
We're in the way. They expected to
capture ab enormous vote with the
prohibition plank, but fate was
against them there. Now comes
something they have not been look
ing for and which they have no way
of meeting. Census bulletin No. 1O4
IA report made by republican
authority, part Of the facts gathered
by Iowa republicans-vindic Gov
Boies and proves, beyond the shadow
Of a doubt, that the natural fertility
of Iowa is being drained into the
Golfers of eastern capitalists. This
census report shows that during the
ten years ending with 1890 there has
been an increase of 1901 per cent per
capita in the wealth Of all the people
of the United States. But where do
we find the greatest increase? Read
the answer in these statistics. The
per capita increase, during the same
period. in New York was 2O.65 per
cent; Pennsylvania 24.44 per cent:
Maine $3.50 per cent; New Hampshire
Al. 36 per cent; to cap the climax Yer.
mont comes with an increase of S6.03
per cent. Now if the republicans Of
Iowa re in the right-if what they
have been claiming the last six
months is the truth iowa should
certainly average up with the states
mentioned. But does it Go it! Is
lowa's average increase even as great
as that of the whole country taken
together? No, ACCORDING TO REPUB-
LIcAN sus-REPuBLICAN FROM
RIND TO CoRE-THE LAST TEN YEARS
SHOWS An INCREASE OF oNLY 1.95 PER
CENT In THE WEALTH OF ALL THE
PEOPLE In THE Stair OF IOWA. Just
think of it, ali increase Of less than
two per cent in ten years time, gain
of the small sum Of one fifth of one
per cent a year Us against So per cent
in ten years, or over 81 per cent a

II New York Has Very Big Crop the
Duty Cuts No Figure, II Small Crop
tho Farmers Gain Nothing-Evaporator
Idle. and why.
Some of the apple growers Of Wayne
county, N. Y, the greatest apple county
In the United States, are wondering how
the Mckinley tariff on apples Is going
to benefit them. They have given the
tariff two trials-one with q poor, the
other with good, crop. Last year they
had no crop at all in Wayne county,
and of course were not benefited by the
duty Of twenty-five cents per bushel
Not only did it not protect the farmers
but in many ways it injured them.
1t is estimated that nearly 1000 apple
growers in the county have evaporatorA
Many Of them would have imported ap-
pies from across Lake Ontario, where
there was a fair crop, and kept their
evaporators busy, incidently giving
work to American labor, which, in the
vicinity of Wayne county, was then
sadly in need Of employment. The Nc
Kinley tariff ripened few weeks ahead
Of the Canadian apples, and shut Of any
gains to the county from this source. As
consequence some Of the proprietors Of
large evaporators moved their outfits
into Canada to give employment to for
eign labor. Others moved to Michigan
and operated evaporators there.
Wayne county has several large can

bought 5000 bushels Of apples in Canada
last year. The canning Of these would
have given employment to many needy
families, and the product would have
supplied many poor people with cheap
food. Mckinley said. mo; it Is not
good for Americans to eat the pauper
fruit Of Canada" And to help enforce his
edict he caused the price of two pound
tin cans to be increased about three
fifths of q cent. The result was that
this same company canned apples in q
Canadian factory, and to make up some
Of the $1,000 loss, because Of the in
creased cost Of cans, cut down the wages
of a part Of their employees, canning
other fruits in Wayne county, from one
dollar to eighty cents per day.
This year, with good crop of apples,
we will. as usual, export several million
dollars worth and import none, compar.
atively. Nor have we in good years
ever imported many, though apples have
heretofore been on the free list. OF
course, If there were no imports to com
pete with American apples, the tariff il
useless and in no way helps the Ameri
can apple grower. If the Mckinley bill
then, Injuries the growers when they
have a poor crop and does them no good
when they have good crop, how in the
world is it going to help them?

staple of discussion in every alliance
meeting, it is the web and wool of
every memorial addressed by farmers
to political conventions, to state Leg
islatures and to the national congress:
that the farmers do not have an equal
opportunity with those engaged in
other walks OF life.
1t was farmers who furnished the
figures which the governor used in
his New York speech and which he is
using in the present campaign. And
we venture the assertion that not an
alliance in Iowa can be found to en-
dorse in explicit terms the estimate
Of Mr.. Allison that during the past
five years of depression corn growing
in Iowa has, after paying labor, ex-
penses and taxes, returned a net profit
of III per cent. on the land, estima-
ted at $50 per acre.
The farmers of Iowa are the auth
ors of Governor Boies' statements
and he is simply their endorser. II
he has slandered them, they have
slandered themselves. And those
who denounce him, denounce in
equal measure hundreds Of thousands
Of farmers who for twenty years have
been saying what he is saying today.
1t has long been the cant among q
certain set of politicians that farmers
are chronic grumblers and never to
be contented. The otfense of Gov.
Boies is that he has ventured to differ
from these men and to believe that
the farmers were in the right and so
believing has ventured to espouse
their cause.
The controversy being carried on il
not the Governors. but is the con.
troversy Of the farmers themselves.
He has but espoused their cause and
they cannot now abandon him with
out abandoning their own cause

Attention has recently been called to
the failure of large manufacturer OF
wool hats. At the time of this failure
it was stated that the high duty on wool
and other materials was the main cause
Of it. The effect of the tariff on the
wool hat industry may be seen from the
statement that it now costs under the
Mckinley law $5.5a4 to manufacture
one dozen all wool hats, whereas If there
were no tariff tax the cost would be only
$4.12a.

Free Coinage

The West Union Gazette asks what
view Gov. Boies takes on the free
coinage of silver in his speeches, and
the Union answers it thusly:
''Goy. Boies, in his letter of ac-
ceptance, takes a positive stand in
favor of free coinage of silver. By
the way what stand does Wheeler
take in his letter Of acceptance and
his speeches Oh this important ques-
ton.

Be- tween the Clipper mill and Stuart Point, where the road crosses deep raviDe, the trees are sawed off on a level with the surrounding hills, and the tirnbers and ties laid on the stumps. In the center of the ravine mentioned, two huge redwood trees, side by side, form a substantial support. These giants have been topped off 75 feet above the he'd of the creek.
