"Hens are funny critters" says an
old farmer, "and have one on my lot.
A few months ago she took liking for
an old brindle COW of mine. At first
all she did was to go out to the pasture
with the COW, but after while she be-
gan to jump on the cows back. For a
long time the COW resented this and
shook the hen off. But it did not do
any good; the hen hoped right on
again, until at last, in sheer despair,
the COW accepted the situation. She
was probably the more inclined to do
so when she discovered, as she soon
did, that Biddy, as much as possible,
kept insects from annoying her. In
fact, she even went further than that /;
for when she discovered that the COW
would like to have her back scratched,
she scratched it in way to make the
COW very happy. AS result of this
the COW soon began to enjoy the COM
partnership of the hen; and now, when
the hen gets off for awhile to eat, old
brindle Is evidently uneasy until she
comes back again. "-Erening WiScon-

Iowa Republicans aud Reciprocity.

When Attorney General Stone, of
Iowa, was addressing the Republican
State convention. of which he vas chair
man, the remarks which were followed
By continued and general applause were
these:
There is but one reciprocity, and
James G.. Blaine is its prophet. Ire
mendous applause. When he first an
nounced this gospel the Democratic
party, under the spur of the moment,
thought il saw free trade standing in a
more dazzling light than ever before
But when the spell was broken reciproci-
ty was in Republican camp and James
q. Blaine was its chief high priest
Here the convention again became Wild
ly enthusiastic.
The farmers of Iowa have sense
enough to know good thing when they
see it, even though some of their old
leaders may have tod them il was worth
nothing to them. The farmers see that
Blaines reciprocity scheme is opening
valuable new markets for their surplus
wheat and corn products and hogs, and
the warm feeling they long felt for him
is intensified by the fact that he
has benefited financially every one
of them by adding to the selling
value OF his crops, swine and cattle II
is because the Iowa farmers have been
able TO perceive the beneficial workings
of reciprocity that they have not wan

States. They have not asked for

houses i'm which TO run a corner and ere
ate famine in foodstuffs, because they
felt that relief in increasing measure
was coming TO them from legitimate
quarters. The Democrats
did not mention reciprocity in their plat
form. They suppressed it, and they do
not allege, as they are doing regarding
local option, that it was left out "6y the
mistake Of lady typewriter They
simply ignore it, for they dare not OPP
pose it openly, because of its popularity
with the masses, and they cannot in
dorSe it, because they cannot reconcile it
with their free-trade tariff for revenue
only" principles and their wish TO throw
open American ports to competitive in
cutting goods of cheap-labor Europe,
while reciprocity only lets in non-com-
petitive products which help and not
harm trade. The Republican speakers
must point out 10 their audiences what
reciprocity can be made 10 do for them,
and then point 10 the cowardly and
treacherouS Democratic attitude on this
important question.

Wages I'm the United States.

There is no reason whatever why
every man in the United States should
not be willing TO pay such rates of wages
and such prices of commodities as shall
naturally result from the free and unre
strcted competition Of all our own
people.
When trade between people is per-
fectly free, as i'm this country, there
cannot, on the average and in the long
run, be higher wages paid TO those en-
ployed in one industry than TO those i'm
another. Wherever any one industry
gives indication that the compensation
paid TO those engaged in it is on the
average greater than the compensation
paid i'm other occupations, the industry
paying the higher compensation is in.
Vade1 by men from the occupations
paving less, and thus wages constantly
tend to an equalization. This invasion
may continue to point at which, by the
overstocking Of the labor market in the
favored industry, wages may finally de-
cline TO point lower than the average
rates prevailing in other industries.
Under the Democratic policy, If wages
fall in Europe our industries stand in
danger of destruction. On the other
hand, while protesting TO be the special
friend of the workingman, the Demo.
cratic party would set on foot policy
which would render impossible any in
crease in the wages Of our own people.
1t is sometimes charged as "A reproach
against the protective policy that in
some special protected industry wages
tend to minimum. Where this occurs
it is an unerring indication OF the vicious
distribution Of industries, and one Of the
most distressing consequences of their
malad iustment. The remedy indicated
is, not a reduction of the tariff, but
wider divcrsifcation and distribution of
industries, so that all persons who want
employment may not be compelled to
seek it in the same equation.
1t is obvious that ii industries be
relatively few, with large numbers of
men seeking employment, those men
must distribute themselves as best they
may, and without intelligent adjust
/ ment, among the few industries in oper-
alton. If larger number enter into
any special pursuit than are needed TO
meet the demands of production in that
pursuit, wages will inevitably decline
The function Of n protective tariff, car
ried to its farthest limit, is TO obviate
the necessity for this. It's tendency is
to encourage tho establishment of a
variety of industries and so to increase
opportunities for employment, not in
one or two but in a great diversity of
occupations.

At general meeting o: the business

Donald Smith, referring TO the effects of
the Mckinley tariff law of the United

Among that large number the contests
and competition of those engaged in the

The "rob" therefore must consist of
the difference between reasonable

manufa cturer. If such difference exists.
it must constitute a margin so amp,e as
to become a strong incentive to the reo-

Increased Farm Exports.

One of the things that free traders
have been industriously insisting upon Is
that the Mckinley law restricts the
farmers markets They have claimed
this SO often and SO persistently that
many people have come To believe IL Is
true. AS a matter of fact, nothing Is
farther from the truth The exports OF
farm products have not decreased under
the Mckinley law. They have increas-
cd instead, and not by few thousand
dollars worth, but by mill ons, as the
following table shows:
Total exports of beef, hog and dairy
products for month ending April 81
under the new law. 20, So OJ9
For same month last year ........... $685.
Gain under Mckinley law. $3.50. 1898

This splendid showing has been made
during months when the reciprocity
feature of the law was not yet enforced
With the reciprocity treaties that have
been negotiated and That are still TO be
negotiated, the exports Of farm products
will be enormously increased. The Nc
kinley law is widening the foreign mar
ket for farm products and Is increasing
the home consumption of all the products
of the farm-it is doing ,actly what the
Republicans claimed IL would do.-DcS
