THE american Economist, under the
heading, Protection Did It." enumer-
ates a half-dozen or more industries in
which Americans lead the world, ;" and
Yankee skill and ingenuity" therein
have beaten down all competition. The
question naturally arises. if Americans
can manufacture a better and cheaper
article than anybody else manufactures,
where is the need of protection? And
what good end can protection work in
such case? The trouble with the Pro-
tectionist is, he feels called upon to
prove too many things to justify his po-
sition. When agitation against the tariff
began. he admitted that prices for pro-
tected manufactures were higher than
they would be under free trade; but in
sisted that they had to be in order to
pay high wages to the workingman.
Then the consumer wanted to know
what part of the pudding he was get
ting. and he was sneered at and told
that he ought to be willing to pay high
prices for the articles he used and the
clothes he wore; that cheap things were
nasty; that "a cheap coat makes
cheap man. " But the sheer wouldn't
work; and now every day the little
6x10s all over the land are obediently
mouthing the self-evident falsehood that
Protection gives higher wages to the
laborer and lower prices to the capital
list. If this were the effect of Protec-
the men who pay the high wages and
sell at lowered figures would spend
their money like water to perpetuate

THE FUTURE FOR FARMERS

The American Agriculturist is of the
opinion. after careful research and con-
servative investigation, that American
farmers, as class, are more prosperous
and in a better condition today, both
mentally and financially. than they were
one year ago. There is thus a most hope
full outlook for farmers during the year
before US. The country generally is
prosperous and affiuent, which means
that the little people have had a good pur-
chasing power. Where farmers can find
markets close to hand, they generally
obtain more remunerative prices than if
compelled to ship their produce abroad.
1t is thus to the interest of all farmers to
help build up their own particular sec
tons, thereby providing markets at their
own doors. If these fail, or are lacking,
we have the world before us, and we be-
lieve that the exports of our domestic
produce in the prospective season will
approximate even those of the unpre-
cedented season just completing. This
may seem rash conjecture, but let US
studiN lLS I've
We have still available all the markets
that have heretofore been open to us,
and even to greater extent, for one of
the results of low prices is larger con-
sumption, and when people once become
accustomed to consuming American
products, they will continue to demand
them, even if prices be higher, because
the quality is satisfactory. In addition
we have large number of new markets
opened to US through the reciprocal trade
relations that have but recently been es-
tablished. Heretofore such markets,
with their millions of people creating a
large consumptive demand, were prac-
tically closed by the high tariffs imposed
upon our productions, but we now enter
them as favored nation and at an adj
vantage over our competitors in the
worlds food supply.

GREER ON ANTHONY.

The honorable and dignitied manner in
which Hon. Ed. P. Greer conducted his
canvass for the nomination for congress
man-at-large was, next to securing the
nomination and election, the source of
greatest pride and qualification to his
host of friends who so Loyalty supported
him. And no less so is the manly bear
ing Mr.. Greer has maintained since his
defeat for the nomination and his I'M
swerving steadfastness to the party.
This last is shown in the following edito.
rial endorsement of Governor Anthony as
the party's nominee, published in the
Winfield Courier, Mr.. Greer'S paper,
since the nomination:
In the nomination of Ex-Governor
George T. Anthony to head the state
ticket as its candidate for congressman
at-large. the Republican convention
made no mistake. A man of compre-
hensive views, eloquent, logical and the
peer of any man within the ranks of the
party as a statesman. he is just such 4
candidate as fills the necessity of this
campaign and insures a glorious and
triumphant victory for Republican prin-
ciples The harmony and good will
which characterlZeS that great
convention, and the hearty acquiscence
in the wisdom of its selection, indicates
the earnest intention of Kansas Republi-
cans TO march forward with united
! front and sweep from the face OF poll
tics the cob-webs OF prejudice and false
theories which an area of tempory de-
preston has allowed TO accumulate.
Governor Anthony Is pre- emiuently a
| leader, Possessed of great courage and
tenacity of purpose, with . vigor of ln-
tellect and a grasp of tack eQualled by
but few men, he is peculiarly fitted 10
combat and distrov the faiacious eco
nomic theories of the opposition. He
Will 90 upon tie stump and prosecute
an educational campaign which cannot
help but be successful, and when elected,
as he will surely be, will at once take ms
place among the leaders of congress and
win again for Kansas the high place
which she formerly occupied in the
councils of the nation.
| If the example of the first state con
I vention is maintained by those TO fol
/ low, the cid animosities and divisions
will be relegated 10 the background and

candidates representing, III its broadesi
sense, the principals of Republicanism,

I fidence and enthusiasm. Kansas must

THE NEW MEMPHIS BRIDGE.

The new railroad bridge spanning the
Mississippi river at Memphis has been
formally opened to traffic. The Spring
field Democrat is pleased to think that
while it is the outgrowth of the enter
prise of George H. Nettleton, formerly
OF Kansas, that the whole country Is
entitled to share in its success for, that
paper declares, it is new connecting
link to further wipe out sectional faila-
cies and bind the north and south closer
together commercially and socially. 1t
is an important gateway to new era.
Nothing is so powerful in the work OF
destroying the old time line of acrimony
as the exchange of commercial interests
which formulate social afinities.
The bridge is cantiiever and model
of its kind. There are but two bridges
in the world with trussel spans longer
than this. One is over the Firth OF
Forth and the other over the Sukkia
river in India. OF these, the length of
the longest span on the former Is l,9lO
feet and of the latter 500. The longest

bluff, the same, it is said, from which
DeSoto first discovered the Mississippi,
and from this point stretches away over
onto the Arkansas shore total distance
of 1896. 10 feet. The bridge is composed
of five spans and six piers, including the
anchorage pier. The east shore or can
tilever span is 225.83 feet in length, the
main span, consisting of two cantilever
arms and one intermediate. span, 621. 06
feet, and one deck span, 32S.15 feet,
making total length of 2, 597. IL feet in
the bridge proper.
The cost of the bridge completed is
two and half million dollars, and
never has there been better outlay.
The celebration of the event, which took
place yesterday, was of national interest.
1t ought to prove especially so to Kansas,
opening as it does, another direct avenue
to the southern markets and to tide
water for exports.

Frozen Gas for Fuel.


According to special from MunCie,
Ind, which is the center of the Indiana
natural gas fields, the number of chance
discoveries has just been added to by
one which will be of immense impor-
lance in the industrial world. The story
is that few days ago a service pipe
line Of natural gas had frozen near Mill
Grove. To remedy the stoppage joint
of the pipe was detached. 1t was found
that the joint was filed with ice, and
one of the workmen pounded the pipe
and cylinder of ice about foot long
came out. One of the workmen said
jestingly, "Well, there's some ice which
ought to burn"
Some one then suggested that fire be
applied to the ice. The ice caught fire
and burned like torch, so thoroughly
was it impregnated with the natural
gas. The burning gas furnished heat to
melt the ice, and as il melted it liberated
the gas, which burned as fercely as if it
had been coming out Of pipe.
All present were amazed at the phe-
nomenon, and it was at once suggested
that the discovery might prove Of i'm.
mense value by rendering it possible &c
freeze natural gas into blocks which
could be sent out for use as fuel. j
seems that the congealing had taken
place under a pressure of 800 pounds to
the square inch, and it will require in
vestigation of chemical experts to de-
eide whether the gas had been hquefed
by the pressure and then frozen or not.
Capitalists are investigating the dis
covery, and if practical new industry
will be developed in the natural gas
fields. Chicago Inter Ocean.

The Indiana supreme court has read a
wholesome lesson to Terre Haute Judge
on the subject of the rights of the press
and the power of the bench. The court
released the editors of the Terre Haute
Express from jail, where they had been
incarcerated for contempt of court be-
cause they criticised the judges conduct
with reference to a grand jury investiga-
ton. The supreme court lays down the
right of the press to criticise the actions
of court and Juries in a proper spirit,
and asserts that the press has rights with
which courts have no power to interfere.

The Iowa Democrats in their state
convention gave Grover Cleveland the
cold snub. His name was not mentioned
before the conventions; but the omission
was evidently the result of fear. The
scheme was to give Governor Bots a
unanimous boost for the presidential
nomination, and the mere mention of
Cleveland'S name would have spoiled it.
The ex-president is probably not worry
ing over it any as his running mate will
be a western man.

The Chicago Tribune, speaking of the
clamor Of the Ohio wool growers for
higher duties. suggests as wiser plan
than the growing of wool in competition
with the cheap grades of Australian and
South American clips, that American
farmers would find it more profitable
every way to raise sheep for mutton
than for wool. To use legal phrase,
this is simply plea in avoidance. Wool
is natural product of sheep, and so
long as the sheep raiser has to pay a
farthing more for the products of wool
by reason of the protection afforded the
manufacturer he is entitled, equitably
and by right. to share of the benefits
of the protective system.
