During recent trip to Switzerland
and Germany, Mr.. Bookwalter was
much impressed with the jolly life of
the Swiss farmers. He noted that the
farmers in Germany, France, Switzer-
land and other continental countries
seem to gather close together In viii
lagos, instead of living life Of isolated
loneliness In solitary farm houses on
their farms, Instead of living miles
apart and getting to town once every
week or two, as the American farmers
do, the European farmers live in vii
lages-agricultura communities they
are called They 60 to their farm work
in the morning and return In the even
ing. When they return home they find
mirth, music and society. There Is q
village band, village debating society,
q public library, q parish church, q sing
ing society and many other social or
ganizations which make life worth liv-
ing.
From the hour when Mr.. Bookwalter
saw these happy scenes In the villages
of these Jolly Swiss farmers he resolved
to do what he could to introduce so de-
lightful system to brighten up the
dull lives OF the American farmers and
give the young people some induce
ments to remain on the farm. Instead
of doing like most reformers and inno-
vators, writing two-column cards to the
newspapers encouraging others to try
the scheme and see how 1t would work,
Mr.. Bookwalter concluded to have the
honor of doing the experiment himself.
He has bought solid track of land In
Nebraska of 60O00 acres, which he Is
going to divide into farms of 80 acres
each, and build village In the center,
on the plan of the Swiss villages. The
experiment will be watched with great
interest,

Col. JOHN E. MCGOWAN, editor of
the Chattanooga Times, Is In the city,
the guest OF his brother-in-law, Josiah
Hartzell. Col. McGOwan went to the
front as Captain Co. d, 11lth o. vi,
the regiment Col. Sherwood afterwards
commanded. The two parted company
at Knoxville, Tenn, In the spring Of
1854, and had never met since until
this morning, when Col. McGowan
walked into the DEMOCRAT office. Col.
MCGOWAN left the 11lth In 1864, to &C
cept the Colonelcy of another regi-
ment, which he commanded to the close
of the war. He went into the army as a
Republican, but left the Republican
party In 1868, and has since been a
Democrat. His paper, the Chattanooga
Times, is one of the leading papers of
the South, and the Colonel now lives
on the historic spot, on Mission Ridge,
made immortal in war history as the
scene of one of the most brilliant Fed
eral charges of the war, and one of the
most signal Union victories. Col. Mo.
Gowan Is en- route to the Grand Army
Encampment at Detroit. He was a
soldier with brilliant and enduring
record, and is gentleman and man
of affairs.

the reciprocity feature was adopted
that there was not single line In the

makes some fine points for tariff re-

commenting on reciprocity. He told
the Britishers how we formerly paid

The farmers of Licking county are
wrestling with The Mckinley problem.
A correspondent of the Newark Advo-
cate says: "The Advocate correspond
ent, in conversation with q number of
the prominent wool growers of this sec.
tion, took special occasion to inquire as
to what effect the Mckinley bill had
on the price of wool this year. The
result OF his inquiries developed the
fact that the farmers were receiving
for their wool from three to five cents
q pound less than last year, before the
Mckinley tariff went into effect. When
asked whether they thought the McKin-
ley bill was the cause of the low prices,
the answer invariably was, IF the NC
Kinley bill protected us wool growers,
as it was claimed 1t would, we would
receive at least 80 cents for our wool
this year."

Now that wool is way down the bucks

"Gov. James Z. Campbell stands for

death to trusts and no end to q finan-
cial system that turns the currency
furnished by the government from the
channels of trade to benefit specula-

contrary, stands for trusts, monopolies

system Of taxation that forces ouI

When the oid-time Ephesians were
hard mn for an argument they illustrat-
ed the emptiness OF their skulls and the
fullpess Of their ignorance by bawling
at the top OF their voices "aboat the
space of two hours: "Great Is Diana
OF the Ephesians Y
The situation and the performances
of the prohibitory tariff zealots Of to
day are in striking similitude to those
Of the ancient devotees of the silver
goddess. Routed In argument and ex-
posed in falsehood they simply howl.
Every day, and every hour of the day,
the skies are rent by their stridulous
and senseless vociferation.
"Great is the tariff"
"Great is Mckinley"
st. Paul had to endure such noise for
two hours, but inoffensive Americans
are subjected to 1t for days. weeks,
even months.
The Ephesian fetch was never more
blindly or bigotedly worsbipped than
Is the tariff fetich-the fetch Of the
trusts. The belief in taxation as SOW
ereign cure-all has become, with GER
tain class, q kind Of economic supersti-
ton, sort of political cult. The
greatest taxer, the man who piles the
biggest burdens on their backs, is to
the adherents of this sect the greatest
hero. Manly, self-reliant achievement
weighs nothing at all with them in
comparison with the puerile exploits Of
petted and protected infancy" To
their distorted understanding the
American people seem neither to have
any good quality, or to obtain any good
thing, except by means of the tariff.
Our big crops this year, these zealots
more than intimate, are all due to the
Mckinley law. There is nothing like
the gentle dew of taxation, descending
from Congress, to make the grass grow
or the water run. II we have drought,
untimely frost or weevil in the wheat,
that is due to "free trade"
But while taxation is undoubtedly a
good thing of which we haven't got
half enough yet-the tin-plate infant
Is even now crying for more-somehow
the pig-iron infant does not seem to
thrive on its Mckinley pap. Only a
trifie Of pig-iron Is imported; the Nc
Kinley tax on that commodity Is pro-
hibitory, yet the shrinkage in its pro-
duction during the last six months has
amounted to 1883 tons, as compar-
ed with the first six months of last
years "free trade" tariff. The shrink
age in the Ohio product was 237,56S
tons. Can 1t be that the Mckinley law
that sovereign remedy for everything,
down to the whooping cough and the
measles-has diminished the demand
for pig-ironp
It would seem so, and yet We dare not
presume such thing. To do so would
be to doubt the perfection of the high
tariff saints, to whom the earth, and
especially this country, belongs. OF
course such economic and moral heresy
must not be tolerated. Whatever its
effects are, good, bad or Indifferent, the
Mckinley law is all right. Just wait
and see IL 1t is not. "Great is McKin-

centage of population found I'm the
cities has gradually increased from the
foundation of this republic to the pres
