OHIO FARMS AND rHE TARIFF.

Governor Campbell makes a point
against Republican policy that Mr.. Nc
kinley viii find it hard TO explain to
the satisfaction of Buckeye farmers. 1t
is this: According TO the census of
1880, the farms OF Ohio were valued at
S125, 0GO, 600. In the census OF 1890 they
are set down at s621, oO0, 600, showing a
decrease for the decade of SOS. o0G, 600
There was total increase of wealth
in the state for that period OF S243, 000,-
900. But not one dollar OF it went into
the pockets OF the farmers. Perhaps
they would hot complain SO much If
they had held their own, but that they
failed to do, falling behind round
500, 900, 600. That is pretty strong

remove the kindling wood from the
eyes of those Ohio farmers that have SO
long stood loyal to the tariff. 1t Is an
argument that appeals to the most sus-
ceptible part of any mans makeup,
to-wit, his purse. 1t is an argument
from whose premises the conclusion Is
inevitable that the farmers are the
malefciaries Of Mckinleyism, and that
they have been made the dupes of
reckless and INSCRIPTIONS politicians.
What is true of Ohio will be
found to be true OF many. if
not all, OF the other states. The tariff
is the most hateful and insidious form
of class legislation. 1t was never
meant to benefit the farmer. 1t could
not for many reasons, but chiefly be-
cause it was framed in the interest of
different class whom it could benefit
only by taking from the agricultural
and other classes of consumers. Ac-
cOrding to the eternal verities, it must
rob the farmer to build up factories
rapidly, and enrich their owners. The
figures of the late census, gathered by
the friends of protection. prove this, or
they prove nothing under the sun.
When agriculture derives tangible
good from wholesome policy and
equitable laws, the figures will show it.
In this case they show something else.
AS the Ohio farmers are largely to
blame for their il fortune, perhaps an
awakening sense of their own folly will
teach them useful lesson.
