A Lesson For Farmers.

II cannot be too often repeated that the
one interest which above all others suffers
under free trade is that Of farming. Yet
the result Of last falls election was mainly
due to the success which attended Demo
cratic efforts to persuade farmers that the
free trade policy would especially benefit
them. The world has before its eyes today
n striking example Of how fatal that pol
icy is to agricultural prosperity. 1t is
furnished by the one country where free
trade has had the fullest opportunity to
work out its natural results. The loss to
British agriculture in the past ten years,
according to The Quarterly Review, aggre-
gates $4,000, 100000. The value Of farming
lands In this country under protection has
increased in the same time more than
$1,000 600. ooQ.
