SENATOR WAsHBURN has intro
duced a radical bill in congress
regulating option dealers. Judg-
ing from the newspaper comments
it is righteous measure and
should become a law. The pro-
ducers of Minnesota will heartily
endorse the following sentiments
expressed by Mr., Washburn.
I do not believe the people of this
country realize the disastrous results
arising from gambling in wheat and
other food products, for all this dealing
in options and futures is nothing more
than gambling. It is hardly possible
to estimate the loss to the agriculturists
OF the west arising from the manipula-
ton in the different produce exchanges
OF the country. 1t seemed as though
some measure should be devised to pre-
vent this iniquity. I propose to push
this matter in season and out until con-
gress passes upon it. I think it will
meet with very general favor in both
houses Of congress.

az the foregoing figures are for the fiscal year
The principal items in this list are
sugar, and hemp, jute, manila. and
sisal-grass. The limit of sugar produc-
ton is circumscribed by nature, and
under any kind Of fair protective duty
no more than one-ninth to one-eight of
all the sugar consumed by our people
could be made at home. AS to hemp.
jute, manila, and sisal-grass, from
which our grain-binding Irvine is made.
it is all, with the possible exception Of
a trifle OF hemp, raised abroad. Prac-
tlcally then, as to $58, 2s3, 1913, the bill
does no real violence to so-called pro
tectiye principles. And it seems to me
our farmers need cheap Irvine, and all
our people cheap sugar, rather than
cheap tobacco and cheap whiskey.
The great food staples of the people
are bread, meat, coffee, tea, and sugar.
All OF these except sugar are unaffected

sugar be, with an overflowing treasury?

REFERRING to the new CONNER
cial treaty with Germany whereby
American flour, corn meal, beef
and pork will be admitted to the
markets of that country under a
reduction of from 25 to 30 per
cent. in the German tariff, the
Minneapolis Tribune pertinently
remarks:
The principle of protection gives us
a weapon whereby we can compel fair
trade, and with fair trade we can hold
our own in the markets of the world.
Protection has thus opened a market
for millions of barrels of flour and pork
Do the farmers of the Northwest need
any further evidence that the Republi-
can principle of a tariff for protection
best promotes their welfare?
