HELP FOR FARMERS.
1T lsGfVEN THEM by THE M'KINLEY
TARIFF LAW.

Comparison Between the Agricultural
Schedules of the Mckinley and Mills
Bills Shows That Mckinley, Not Mills
Is the Farmers Friend.
The present campaign has been a
campaign devoted largely to a discus
sion of the interests of the American
farmer. Both parties have declared
themselves the friends of our agLicul-
tural producers; both has stated it AS
their belief that their particular policy
will benefit the farming population.
But how different the record of the two!
The party of protection, true to its pro-
fessions, comes forward with the record
of the home market widened by the
establishment of new industries as well
rs by the restriction of competing
agriculture imports, while the party of
free trade has not been able to go a
single step further i'm tightening what
it calls the burdens" that rest upon
the farmer than by aboishng the duty
on wool, one Of the most important
articles which he produces There are
other ways, too, of testing the sincerity
of the professions of love for the farmer
so profusely made by both political
parties, one of which is to compare the
answer which was given to the demands
of agricultural societies and organiza-
tons by the farmers of the Mckinley
tariff law with that given TO those de-
mands by the author of the Mills bill
Among the hearings before the ways
and means committee preparatory to
the construction of the Mckinley bill,
we find the following memorial from a
farmers club in New York state
States engaged in farming, in view of the probable
read justnent of the present tariff at the present
session of congress, do most earnestly and re-
specially call your attention the following facts
and figures.
The memorial then goes on to ask
for an increase of duty on potatoes,
onions vegetables, turnips, hay, beans,
cabbages and various other agricultural
products, stating the reasons why such
increase is necessary, and closing thus:
The year 1850 has been a hard one to the Long
Island farmet; hay and grain damaged potatoes
one-third crop, caulifower crop failure, cabbage
no SALE turnips no SALE and so through the
list and yet the New York markets are full of
foreign produce.
Gentlemen il is a small boon we ask. Grant it,
give us the same need of protection you willingly
grant the manufacturer-put agriculture on the
same footing.
How did protectionists reply to this
appeal, and how does their treatment
OF the farmer compare with that given
to him by the ''refOrmersy To answer
this we have compiled table giving
the comparative rates of duty imposed
on various agricultural products by the
Mckinley and Mills tariff bills

The Scratched Ballot.

Now that registration is over, $50 far
as concerns Chicago, the next thing III
order is to see that the voters actually
turn out on election day and do not
throw away their votes by plumbers.
There is much more danger on the latter
score than is generally supposed. One
of the more notable things about the
Australian system is that it is hardly an
eXaggeration to say that the more in
telligent the voter the greater the dan
ger. The ignorant class of voters are
not ashamed to acknowledge that they
do not know just how the system works.
They set about learning. They have no
pride that repels any suggestion or in
struction as Il reflection upon their in
ielligence. 1t is the experience of every
State which has tried the system that
the largest per cent of Initiated ballots
are deposited in the kid glove, or gilt
edged polling places.
If there were only one candidate for
each office the case would be different.
Here, for instance, voter wishes to
vote all the Republican ticket except
one or two Judges, and he puts his
check cross in the circle before the
party head line and then proceeds to
doctor the details of his ballot. If he
does not put his cross in the square be-
fore every candidate for judge for
whom he wishes to vote the judges OF
election can not tell which one of the
candidates on his own ticket he intended
TO scratch, and his vote for all the Re-
publican candidates will be lost. Some
candidates are likely to be defeated by
the failure of voters to make their
ballots actually express their inten-

The Wool Question.

Congressman VIM. Nj. Springer of
Illinois, who wants very much to re-
turn to Congress, has been having much
to say to farmers on the wool question,
making many unfair statements against
the good derived from protective
duty on wool, and disputing point blank
every truth that came in conflict with his
own statements, among other things
characterizing as totally untrue a GER
tain business circular issued by the
Philadelphia wool house of Justice,
Bateman & Co. His fool.hardy chal-
lenge for them to prove their state
ments, at length called forth the follow
ing pertinent letter from Mr.. Justice
who among other things says
1.-THE Associated Press of Sept. eth
reported your speech at Jacksonville,
ILL.,, in which you state that the wool
trade circulars of Messrs. Justice, Bate e.
man 81 Co., of Philadelphia, OF which
firm / am a member, make statements
that ARE utterly untrue and without
foundation in fact
Your position as chairman OF the
committee of ways and means, induces
the public to accept your word as
sufficient guarantee for the accuracy
of your statements, but you have made
public number of errors through your
committee and elsewhere, the most
prominent of which are as follows:-
That protective duties on wool have
been of no advantage To the wool
grower when, in fact, the value of their
wool under protection duties, even since
this country has been on gold basis,
has been double the value of the same
wool in free-trade London.
THAT Port Phillip fleece is the same
In grade and quality as Ohio medium,
when, in fact, Port Phillip fleece is q
fine wool of Saxony and merino blood
in highly cleansed condition, with
two thousand fibres to the linear inch
while Ohio medium is coarser wool
being only from three-eights tn one hal
part of merno blood, and so much
coarser that, measured by the diameter
of the fibre, il is 20 per cent. thicker
and averages 30 per cent. greasier il

condition than Port Phillip fleece.
you persist in stating that certain
sworn Treasury official gave you the
information that Port Phillip fleece
was the same as Ohio medium after
that same official has frequently public
~ and privately repndiated the use
which you are making of that informa-
ton
THAT the Mckinley law would stmu-
late the importation of shoddy,' when.
in fact, the duties of that law are so
high rs to entirely prohibit the importa.
ton Of shoddy, which the Springer bill
proposes To revive, by making an
average reduction of over % cents pei
pound on the present prohibitive Me-
kinley duty on this article.
That the number of sheep had de.
creased i'm certain years following the
passage of the tariff law of 1867 when,
in fact, they had increased during that
period over 100 per cent; an increase
that has exceeded the increase for the
same period of every important wool
growing nation of the world.
That the tables issued by Messrs
Justice, Bateman d Co. Showing that
the American price for wool under
protection was double the value of the
same kind of wool in free-trade London),
were utterly without foundation in fact,
while there is unlimited proof that their
statements are correct. Their quotations
for american l0o0t are taken from Re.
port No. sol Of the Committee of Ways
and Means, Of a0hich goa are chairman,
they are therefore your oUn figures. The
foreign quotations for wool OF the same
quality and in the same condition and
diameter of fibre, are from the publish
ed chart of Messrs. Windeler ~ Co. of
London, whose quotations are confirm
ed by the trade circulars of every other
prominent English wool dealer, and by
the Bradford Observer of Bradford, Eng.
land, the one newspaper above all
others which is regarded as the best
authority on English values of wool and
manufactures thereof.

leading statements | take this method

If there is buster man in the state
of Michigan, or one who can put in
more work to the hour than ii. X.
Pattengill, Republican candidate
for State Superintendent, we have
not heard of him, There is scarcely a
county in the state whose schools he
has not visited, and during the seven
years of his connection with the Micht'
gan School Moderator he has travelled
$4,000 miles, visited 5000 schoolrooms,
and made 322 addresses, while by his
Institute work, and through the columns
of his progressive educational paper,
he has aided and inspired SO many
teachers that hosts ofthem regard Pat
in the light of their patron saint. 1t is
almost solely through his exertions that
cold Glory" flies from the top of every
schoolhouse in Michigan, it is he who
has filled thousands of young hearts
with patriotic fervor through the rous-
ing "Knapsack" songs, and it his hustle
and genial ways that will enthuse every
teacher in the state, should he assume
the duties of this important Office.
Never was man better fitted for a
position, and we confidently predict
three cheers going up from hundreds OF
schoolhouses when the news reaches
them of the great big majority that
seats "Pat" in the superintendent
chair.

Depression in English Industries

There is no longer any question OF
the depressed condition of many OF
free trade England's industries, and the
visit this month to Buffalo of James
Lister, an English millionaire plush
manufacturer who is about to move his
plant to this country, is only one more
sign of the times.
Mr.. Lister says plainly that the Nc
Kinley bill has literally forced him to
leave England, if he desired to continue
his business. His American plant will
cover eighteen acres and furnish en-
ployment TO over 1000 men, all OF
whom will be Americans save few
skilled laborers whom he will bring
over to educate the others in the art OF
plush making.
He declares that he shall use both
American machinery and material,
thus adding, by this one plant, an
immense amount to American revenues,
while his statement that he is only the
pioneer in the exodus of manufacturers
who will come to our shores in the next
two years, is calculated to fill the breast
of many an American workingman
with citation at the increased demand
il promises for his labor.

The industrial whites of the New
South are thoroughly awakened to the
fact that the unfair voting methods so
long followed by the so-called "aris-
tocratic class" are in nowise through
fear of "negro supremacy" but simply
through dread that multiplication OF
industries will result in increased
wages for the middle class. This
awakening was clearly shown by the
arrest of judges and other officers who
denied to the Populists any representa-
ton on the election boards, and also
that of such individuals as tried to pre-
vent a free and fair discussion o1
Populist issues. From this movement
of the middle class, there will In time
result a solution of the vexing pro
blem of the colored race, and the day
is dawning when Republican Will no.
be sneered at as "nigger-worshiper'
simply because willing to accord hi'
colored brother the right to speak and
vote as he thinks.

NJ kINLEY VERSUS MILLS DUTIES OF

From this table we can readily under
stand the comparative treatment az
corded to the farmer by the two parties.
Where the Mills bill allowed competing
agricultural products to come i'm free,
or at very low rate of duty, the Nc
Kinley tariff law gives ample protection
in most cases imposing nearly if not
quite the very rates of duty which the
farmers themselves demanded, and by
their arguments and statistics thorough.
ly justified. Can our agricultural
classes want better answer to the
