A Recruiting Ofiicer Says That Farmer
boys are What Uncle sam Wants.
WASHINGTON. July 16. Ever since
public and official attention has been
directed to the subject OF the frequency
of desertions from the army, year or
SO ago, there has been determined
effort on the part of the authorities to
improve the quality of the material with
which the service was recruited, in the
belief that in this lay the remedy for the
great evil. Extra efforts were made to
secure young men who sought the army
as profession rather than as haven Of
refuge, and to this end the efforts Of re-
cruiting officers have been systematic
ally turned away from cities toward the
country.
The new system has just begun to
show its fruits, and is most justifying to
the expectations of those who inaugu-
rated it. An officer of the adjutant
generals department, who has charge Of
this work, remarked recently; I'VE
are having very good luck with our later
recruits, and think the army to-day is
composed of a better class of people
than ever before. We have abandoned
the city field almost entirely and gone
to the country, where we are more apt to
find vigorous Young men, free from the
contamination of the rough life of towns,
eager to do well and to wear chevrons.
Such men make good soldiers, far better
than the old, hardened toughs who come
out of the slums to enlist as last resort,
or as a means of drowning their identi-
ties.

THE OHIO CONTEST.

The battle in Ohio Is the national con-
test in miniature, because 1t is to be
fought on national issues. The Repub-
licanS were the first in the field, and
they threw down the gauntlet boldly
and without flinching. They selected
as their champion a martyr to prOtec-
TONS cause and placed him Oh a plat
form built up Of stones which the intel
ligent people of the country had re-
jected only few months ago. They
declared in notes as loud as came from
ROLAND'S horn that they were ready to
meet the foe with weapons dulled and
furnished by shameful rOut, and I'M
der leader wounded and discredited,
and whose banner had been torn and
trailed in the dust.
Ohio is a Republican state, but no
party with even slight chance for vic
tory could have asked for better OPP
pOrtunity than this. The Democracy
had but to nominate with enthusiastic
unanimity the man who had triumphed
so grandly two years ago, expose in a
few well chosen sentences the falla-
cieS and the sins of prOtectionism, and
weld together under the cry of CAMP
BELL and Reform patriots of every
party into an army doing valiant service,
that the industry of the country might
no longer enrich the Golfers of the few
at the expense of the many.
Here was programme ready at hand,
if the Democrats of Ohio had the discern
ment and the wisdom to follow it. 1t
might not have brought victory in a Re-
publican state, but it would have en-
listed the best energies of the party's
best minds; it would have narrowed
the contest to a single issue; it would
have excited a flood of exposition and
exhortatioR on the burning question
now before the country, and out of it
all would have come, at any rate, clear
ness of thought and depth OF conviction
to the men everywhere who followed
the debates and read of the progress of
the campaign. The Republicans, in
SOient because of their natural majority,
challenged the Democrats to meet them
on the field with protectiOnism as the is
sue. and the one issue. Anybody would
have SAID that. with the keen recollec-
ton OF the last fights result in mind,
and fired with the justice of their cause,
the Democracy would have gladly
Joined in such a duel.

advance in duties would not work in
the way alleged. and without repeating
the reasons assigned for this belief, it
is noted that the results have sustained
them. The Wool Reporter of last week
says that rarely has the wool market in
July been in more depressed and un-
settled state.
Prices in some grades are lower than they
have been in years; it is difficult TO sell any
large line of wool except at concessions;
Ohio and Michigan fleeces have been a drug
on the market for the past six months. stead
lily declining; and high tariff laws, as far as
wool is concerned, 'have been demonstrated
to be delusion and a snare, deservedy in
volving those who were the most instrument
tai in securing their enactment"
This Is the statement of trade, and
not political publication. 1t is devoted
to the welfare of the wool industry, and
can have no motive to misrepresent the
facts. They are patent to all and can
not be questioned. 1t will be remem-
bered how deliberately Mr.. MCKINLEY,
IN his report upon the tariff bill, dweIt
upon the wool feature and the promise
he found for it in this increase of
duties. This is paragraph from his
report:
The United States ought 10 produce all of
the wool it consumes. and will with adequate
encouragement and defensive legislation.
The amount of wool consumed in all forms
and for all purposes is nearly, II not quite,
O0.0O0.000 pounds annually. (0f which, he
said, in 1889 some "a, 900, 900 pounds were i'm
ported in the raw or manufactured state
There seems to be no doubt that with the
protection afforded by the increased duties
recommended i'll the bill the farmers of the
NIT Sfafn Will hn 40 rlxy d,f.rf n
supply substantially Ill of the home demand,
and the great benefit such production viii be
to the agricultural interests OF the country
cannot be estimated. The production of
600,000,050 pounds of wool would require
about 100.000,OOO sheep, or an addition of
more than 100 per cent TO the present num-
Der.
1t is puzzle how he will explain TO
the Ohio wool growers the difference
between his anticipations and the sub
Sequent facts. His panacea for their
industry has now been about nine
months on duty, and they have weak
market and lower prices for their prod
ucs. Instead of the doubling of their
fiocks, they are inclined in their disap
pOintment to perpetrate widespread
slaughter, as they did when the other
tariff was put in operation in 1861.
While the tariff has proved a fallaciouS
theory for them and reduced the
prices of their wool, it has induced
large impOrtations and higher prices
of the foreign article. Theories that
work out this way are not likely 10 com
mend themselves to the sufferers, how
ever plausible the presentation. 1t
may be suspected that the application
to other industries is as wide of the
mark.

THEY HELP EACH OTHER.

A Dakota paper or two of usual ra-
tiOnal pOise and fairness have recently
somewhat strenuOusly insisted upon
applying the home market construction
to the newspapers read by the people
of their vicinity. They would shut out
the Twin City and other outside pa
pers, on the theory that they divide
the patronage they would mOnopOlize.
In another section a little more to the
south, somewhat concerted shout has
been heard among publishers not to
patrOnize Chicago papers, for the same
reason. HORACE GREELEY has left an
emphatic opinion that might be applied
to this class of newspaper people, if it
were not ungenerOus. They do not
mean to be absurd and pitiful,
but simply mOrbidly selfish. If
they had attended the sessions of
the national gathering of progress
sive representatives of the press the past
week, they might have taken away
broadened views of the sphere and dig
nifty of the calling. The eleemosynary
idea in connection with it would have
been made to stink into ignoble seclu-
sion. Only cheap men and nOviceS re-
tain the old notion that the editor should
initiate the old style spiritual directors
of the smaller ranges who were minis
tered unto by donation parties. The
whole drift of thought by the national
men was that the newspaper should be
primarily a business institution, and
live by legitimate economic principles.
1t is quite as appropriate and legitimate
TO use agencies to attract customers
for the newspapers as it is for
the man who sells clothing or
groceries. But the chief reliance
must be in the fact that a void exists,
whether the aching is acute or not
Those that ought to live do not get
much of their suStenance from those
who simply want to help the paper
along for benevolent or personal rea-
sons. The people who sustain the
papers do not. as rule, feel more than
natural, humane concern for the well
fare and prosperity of the newspaper
men. If the publications meet their
wants, they viii take them. and not
otherwise. 1t is the experience of the
observing that outside journals rather
benefit than iniure the local sheets, ex-
cept in cases where the ambition is to
rival the larger and distant print
in breadth of sphere at the ex-
pense of the proper local field. The
city paper can not take the place
of the local sheet. The one supple
ments or tails onto the other. The
country weeklies and dailles in the
smaller cities whet the appetite for the
more ample spread the great dailies can
alone supply. If the publication in the
vicinity Of the average reader gives the
record of movements in its immediate
sphere not to be had elsewhere, it be-
comes essential to him. and he must
have it. Some observation shows that
the most prosperous and valuable local
papers are commonly found in local
tiles that most freely patronize the city
papers, partially excepting. perhaps,
the suburban settlements. The narrow
vision parties referred to are in need of
optical Improvement.

HAS ABLUNDER BEEN MADE ?


This is not what has been done, how
ever, and already at the very outset of
the contest the foe is shifting his posi-
ton, beause an opening has been given
him. The Republicans propose to elect
Maj. MCKINLEY, and give protection
ism the prestige of a great victory in a
campaign where free silver and grad
uated income tax are the issues. They
have from the beginning proclaimed
that their success shall aud must be
taken as an Endorsement of the tariff in
EQUITIES of the Fifty-first congress, and
the Democracy has put it in their power
to reap such a harvest in an election
where no man casts his vote with such
purpose i'll mind, but where his senti-
ments on the coinage and taxation Ques-
tons may be made to do service to this
end.
In politics a blunder is as bad as a
crime, and the GLOBE thinks it is
blunder for the Democracy to have con-
fused and complicated the issue in
Ohio. 1t does not mean by this to criti-
else or condemn the stand which the
party has taken on the other subjects
than the tariff which have been brought
into the controversy. There is great
deal to be SAID in favor of graduated
income tax, but the trouble is that it
has not vet been said. 1t is not at this
time live question before the people.
1t suffers from the faint of the socialists,
who have been most enthusiastic in its
interest, and years of discussion must
go by before it will be in a shape where
its practical application will be desira-
bic or possible. Again, the country is
in need of a currency which will eX-
pand automatically in response TO the
demands of business. which will not
hide Itself every summer in the vaults
of Wall street, aud which Will be stable
in value, so as TO Cypress neither the
debtor class by constant apprecia-
tions, nor the creditor class by violent
cheapening. This is not party ques-
ton, but plain business problem. AL
most one-half of the delegates at the
Ohio convention were of the Opin-
ion that the free coinage of sill
yer was not the avenue to solution.
Perhaps they were in error. but was it
wise to stif1e the views of so large
minority on matter not germane to
the canvas as it was inaugurated?
The course for the Democracy to fol-
low is to get back to the issue which had
been rendered them, and to force the
fight bravely and agressively along that
line. The question to be submitted to
the American people in the next
national campaign is whether they APP
prove or disapprove of scheme of gov
eminent which means the accumulation
of extraordinary SUMS of money in the
national treasury, through heavy and
unnecessary taxation, and their dissipa-
ton in eXtravagant and demOralizing
expenditures. 1t would seem as though
they could answer such an inquiry in
one way only, and it is the duty of the
| party leaders in every state election from
now till the next national convention to
! give them the benefit of discussion on
this subject and chance to let their
| views be known.

were lawyers, two editors, and one a
clergyman. Not a solitary farmer
appeared in the list. If the
farmers are to have share
in shaping the policies of the
party, it would be presumed that they
would have something to do with the
writing of the platform. A number of
the lawyers in this case were railroad
and corporation attorneys. Possibly it
might be insisted that this was incOn-
siderate. that the farmers lacked the ca
pacity or did not understand the needs
Of the party. A leading member of the
committee was a government Office
holder and corporation attorney living
at Washington. The question OF rail
road control has been an active one in
politics in that state. The railroads had
strong representation in the cleo
ton of the platform and the farm
ers none. This feature in Republi-
can conventions is not peculiar
to Iowa. But, the Gazette found
that in the composition of the conven-
ton the proportion was $50 farmers to
COS of other classes. The real farmer
element was much less than this, as
many of the farmers were represented
by proxies given TO lawyers and pro-
fessionals. The claim, then, that the
farmers dominated the convention
shrinkS into abSurdity. There were $50
lawyers and 60 bankers. What chance
would the farmers have in controlling
such body? No doubt the platform
was drafted by attorneys and brought
there in pockets that expected to have
reciprocal relations to it. The farmer
has taffy in Republican conventions.
but the meaty things are taken by the
other fellows.
