venue on this account to the extent o1
nearly S6,O0O,000 per year. All persons
who are compelled to pay the increased
cost by reason of the tariff, whatever
it may be. This exaction IS taken from
the many for the benefit of tho few.
The committee, after review of the
subject matter commented on, says it
appears that the high protective tariff
on wool, which was enacted with the
avowed purpose of aiding wool-grow-
ers has forced manufacturers to use d
cheaper material than wool; and the
competition which now threatens most.
ly the wool producers of this country
comes from the "a establishments man
ufacturing shoddy in the United States
rather than from wool grown in South
America and Australia.
cit is impossible to determine lust
what effect the reduction of duties in
the bill reported by your committee
would have upon the Importation OF
woolen goods, as the present law is
prohiDitory upon most articles of wool
en- manufacture used by the masses. 1t
is not unnatural to assume that lower
duties upon these articles as we'll as a
reduction of more than one-half upon
all woolen goods would cause some in
creased Importation; for the reduction
of duties would cheaper the price tc
consumers and thus large increase con-
sumption. Increased consumption
would call for increased home manu-.
facture, as we'll as, temporarily at least
enlarged importations. This we can
say with full confidence: That any re-
duction of public income by the pass
age of this bill will be far more than
balanced by the increase in the public
expenditure now imparitively demand
ed by every public interest"
THE MINORITY PLANT.
The views of the minority were pre-,
pared by Rep. Burrows, Of Michigan
They said in favoring the passage OF
bill, that the schedule proposed to be
amended suits both wool manufacturer
and grower, and that both are almost
UNANIMOUSLY in favor of letting it alone
Since the law Of 1890 was passed, the
aocks of the United States increased

have held the benefits. There is nc
reason why the people should not be
satisfied with the workings and results
of the present law. The pending meas
ure is one for which there is no demand
outside OF the professional agitators Of
tariff reform and politicians in search
of a campaign issue.

An editor died and slowly wended
his way down to where he supposed a
warm reception awaited him. The
devil met him and said: s'For many
years thou hast borne the blame of the
bad spelling that the printer has gotten
off in the paper, the paper has gone on
for $500; also the $500 has often
failed to come in. Thy printer has be-
deviled thee for wages Saturday night
when thou hadst not darned farthing
to thy name. Men have taken thy
paper without paying for it and then
cursed thee for not getting up better
paper. All these things thou hast
borne in silence, thou canst not come
in here" And he fred him. AS he
did so he murmured to himself" Hsa-
ven's his home, and besides, if we let
him come in here he would have been
dunning his delinquent subscribers,
and thereby creating discord. .''-Ex.

The lot of the country editor is
frequently not an easy or happy
one, but if he does not always COM
mand success, he nearly always de-
serves it. He is emphatically one
of the men to whom the world owes
q living, but he is often precisely
the man to whom the world neg]ects
to pay the debt.
The press Of the counties numbers
among its editors and publishers
many gentlemen of genuine ability
and high personal character, the
value of whose work for the com
munities in which they live it would
be difficult to overestimate. Apart
from their usefulness in larger
things, they are peculiarly close to
their rural constituencies by reason
of the interest they take in those
minor affairs Of local concern that
find small place in metropolitan
journals. Their papers are the mir
rors in which are reflected all the
happenings Of the village and county,
the faithful chronicles which retail
every week all the news and ]egiti-
mate gossip Of the countryside.
They fill a useful and important
field, and should receive the cordial
and substantial support Of those who
enjoy and profit by them.
Unfortunately this is not always
the case. High editorial aspirations
are frequently chilled and noble
journalistic ambitions annihilated by
the delinquency Of subscribers who
fail to remember that an editor has
stomach as we'll as mind, and
though like the chameleon, he may
sometimes wear many colors, he
cannot, like that animal, live upon
air. Worse almost than the total
neglect to pay in cash is the dispo-
sition to unload upon the country
editor cords of wood and appalling
quantities of potatoes and cabbages
in lieu of the dollar of his fathers
for which his journalistic soul is
yearning. That under such condi
tions he maintains his sprightliness
and does his duty with undiminished
cheerfulness and ability is remark.
able evidence of his strength OF
character as we'll as of his earnest
ness of purpose. No other class OF
citizens do SO much for the develop
ment and upbuilding and genera
prosperity Of the state, and no othei
class of men more richly deserve
the gratitude and the liberal mater
ial support of the general public
than the editors of the country press
Some of the ablest writer's upon the
great metropolitan dailies of the
country graduated from country
newspaper offices, and the country
editor is found IN congress, and il
every state legislature, and in all Q:

Along the Arkansa..

There exists, perhaps, a general
knowledge of successful agriculture
and fruit- raising in the Arkansas
valley; but of its extent and steady
increase, few, except those who visit
that region frequently, are really
cognizant. Its western limit ia far
above the Royal Gorge, and on the
east it reaches through Colorado and
into Western Kansas Ten years ago
the small shipments of melons bv
express at enormous rates were
looked upon almost with ridicule bv
the railway employees. Last season
its fruit shipments by train loads
were viewed with admiration by the
railway officials who saw an added
source Of income from lands which
they at one time looked upon as
worthless.
1t has been demonstrated in these
years, especially east of the noun
tains, that all kinds of standard ap-
pies, peaches, pears, plums, prunes,
cherries, apricots and grapes can be
raised to perfection, and the older
ranches last season contained trees
heavily loaded with choice fruit. The
Muscat and Catawba grapes, which
do not ripen in localities farther
north, gave bounteous yields of de-
licious fruit, and the locality prom
ises in time to become celebrated as
wine producing district. =
1t remains to be demonstrated
what crops cannot be grown there.
Everything that has been tested in
telligently has succeeded. Spring
wheat has yielded well, and another
season will test winter wheat a second
time. Corn is a success, and on old
ground four crops of alfalfa were cut
last season. Peanuts, one of the
great crops in Tennessee from where
they are shipped by steamboat loads,
thrive in this irrigated sandy soil,
and will in time become an item in
railway traffic in the Arkansas
valley.
The water supply seems to be
ample, especially for lands which re-
receive their supply from the reser-
voirs. The river, as shown by statis-
tics, carries nearly as much water as
the South Platte, the Cache la
Poudre, the Big Thompson and st.
Vrain rivers combined The fact,
also, that it holds its volume of water
late in the fall is especially inviting
to those who are growing alfalfa and
the later crops, such as potatoes. 1t
is also very desirable in tuit-raising.

1t was very fair office when the
present management assumed con-
troll, but since that time the entire
outfit has been doubled and perfected.

the REGISTER, it will continue to be
the local paper of Prowers county.
1t will continue to give the news Of
the county, and if it can at any time
help along a worthy. enterprise it will
be found N the right place. Politi-
cally the paper is republican, because
it belives the principals of that party
to be right. Socially, it is with the
people, and it proposes to stay there.

The Irrigation Age,

The Irrigation Age for January LIST
comes out in new and handsome
dress. This is the first time The
Age has been printed and bound in
its own office, and the result is the
handsomest class journal in the
West. As usual this journal is
crowded from cover to cover with
interesting and valuable matter for
everybody interested in irrigation.
Its leading article is the first in
stallment of a series of important
papers on Farming Methods of the
Greeley Colony" by David Boyd.
Greeley is everywhere regarded as q
model in irrigation methods and re-
suits, and these articles will be of
great value to irrigators throughout
the West. Another important article
describes the best methods of culti-
waiting sugar beets by irrigation.
This is by G. A. Granger, agricul-
tural expert of the great sugar facto-
~ at Lehi, Utah, the first factory in
the world making sugar from irriga-
ted beets. The Washington CORES
pondence of The Age presents the
latest news of irrigation matters at
the Capital, and is getting to be a
very valuable feature. Every de-
partment of the paper is crowded
with valuable reading, and the an
nouncement for new features of 1892
is enticing. In nine months The Ir-
rigation Age has gained national
reputation and very high place in
the affections of the Western people.
