FARMERS APPEAL FOB PROTEC
TION.

The legislative committee of the ma
tional grange has made formal ap-
peal to congress for continuance of
those clauses of the Mckinley bill
that afford protection to the products
of American farms. ave ask" says
the legislative committee of the ma
tional grange, shat congress leave un-
disturbed the duties on agricultural
products that are imported into this
country to be sold IN competition with
the products of farmers of the Unite d
States" The legislative committee of
the grange recognizes this peculiar vir-
tue in the Mckinley bill, says Chi
cago exchange: that it does justice to
the agricultural as well as the manu-
faturing interest. 'It is generally
conceded" says the memorial of the
national grange committee, "that in
former revisions of the tariff agricul-
ture has not received the same meas
ure of protection afforded to other in
dustries; but IN the late revision the
Mckinley revision) the farmers ap-
peared before tie con mittee on ways
and means and secured such duties as
have proved to be of great benefit to
them; and they desire that these duties
be maintained
Take notice that during considera-
tion of the Mckinley bill the farmers
we're asked to consult with the COM
mittee in charge of its preparation,
and that their suggestions were heard
and acted upon to the 'great benefit" !"
as the national grange says, of agricul-
tural indu stries. No hearing has
been afforded to the farmers by the
Democratic committee that is drafting
tariff bill "for revenue only" and so
the great representative organization
of agriculture is forced to send writ
ten petition to congress In support of
the Just claims of the farmers of the
United States.
Combating the Democratic delusion
of division of products into raw and
finished material, the legislative COM
mittee of the national grange says:
"W ool is finished production of the
farmer just as much as cloth is the
finished production of the uanufac-
turer. +" The point is we'll made.
Nothing has value that has not had
labor expended upon it, and all that is
an American product Of labor that is
highly paid deserves 10 be protected
from unlimited competition with a
foreign product of labor that is poorly
paid. Iron ore is finished product
of the mine. While under the surface
of the earth it was without value. Its
value at the surface represents the
capital, the skill, and the rough labor
expended upon it; the capital, skill,
and rough labor expended on the Gre
alton of value in ton of iron ore are
as much entitled to protection as those
expended on the increase of value oc.
casioned by the conversion of ore into
pig metal, or of pig metal into bars,
anvils, hammers, or any other ulti-
mate form of manufacture.
The petition of the national grange
is founded in justice and is supported
BY sound logic.

I. A MIND-READER in Peoria intends
next June to permit himself to be
buried while i'm an imitation state of
rigor mortis. His grave is to be kept
green with crop of barley that will
sprout, ripen and be harvested
thereon. Then the plan includes the
disinterment of the mind-reader,
who is expected to be alive, and, ex-
cept for goneness at the pit of the
stomach, fairly well. 1t is hoped
that the influence of the intelligent
people of the neighborhood will be
sufficient to prevent this sacrilege of
the tomb. A ind-reader who can
enrich the soil has done more than
most of his kind. He should not be

When the sinner stands socially
above the laborer, but beneath a
gentleman, the price is shillings.
Above the gentleman the assessed
figure is 5 shillings. 1t is noted as a
grieyous fault that the law makes no
