Out OF Politics.

Senator Manderson and Prof Hill of
the Chicago University appear in print
not by agreement-to urge that the tariff be
taken out Of politics.
They must mean that Protection should
be taken out of politics. Taxation cannot
he taken out, since 1t is the main question
OF governments, Protection can be taken
out only by separating it from revenue.
Protection should be expelled from poli-
tics. II should never have entered politics.
But how didis get In and who put 1t inf
1t was not put In by free traders and it did
not blow in by chance. It was lobbicd In
by persons who sought special favors, and
was made party policy by politicians who
saw the valu. of getting the support of men
with money to spend.
There are two ways of taking protection
out of politics. oue is to make public tax
alton for public revenue only. That would
expel |. entirely and end the uncertainty.
The other way is TO separate taxation from
protection and let the later be judged once
for all by the people. In o'her words, give
bounties by direct appropriation and collse'
revenue 20 meet the expense. II protection
is necessary TO preserve wages and pros
perity, let the people say so aud Pay out oi
the public treasury what they think Il
necessary: let them know what they pay te
each industry.
1t is dishonest to mix taxation and pro
lection. 1t is immoral to le: protection re
main in politics.
Take 1t out The uncertainty Of tarii
tinkering is bad for business and iobbie'
tariff is against public morals, Take i
out.

why Farmers are Feeding Wheat

Dom Piatt used to say that on the
farms of Ohio it costs dollar to raise a
bushel of wheat, but that the republican
tariff system of discrimination against
farm products would bring the selling
price down to ifty certs bushel. The
prediction has been justified. Further
than that the farmers have discovered that
it costs more to raise wheat than 1t will
bring in the market and that it can be
sold only at loss, They have gone to
feeding it to stock, while saving their corn
and oats 10 sell.
The extent to which wheat is being fed
in Ohio is surprising when the facts are
known. A Van Vert dealer says that
many farmers of that section are feeding
wheat and selling oats. A jamestown
dealer reports that farmers in that sec
ton secure the best results in feeding
to hogs by crushing the berry of the wheat
and casting it over good grade of clover
hay previously cut and dampened for the
purpose" A Columbus shipping firm
makes this statement;
The wheat we are shipping to New
England is nearly ell used for feeding
purposes, and we have forwarded over 2oU
carloads so far this month. In our
twenty years experience in the grain
business in Ohio this Is the first time We
have ever shipped wheat to New England
for feeding. Farmers who have giver
the matter careful study claim that
bushel of wheat will 80 as far as one and
half bushels of corn.
Reports to the same effect come from al
sections of the country. Wheat has beer
degraded until, for the time being a
least, it is not marketable. No part of th;
responsibility for this can be traced to th'
: new tariff or to the long period Of doubt Al
to what the new tariff would be. whea
is not effected by tariff except indirectly
Its price is regulated at Liverpool and fol
: thirty years the farmers of America hav,
been selling wheat at free trade prizes ant
buying all they consumed at the enor
mously enhanced prices of republican
robber tariff. They have suffered the ful
results of the Two iniquities.
Foreign countries, whose products haT
l been unfairly and impoliiically discrimi
mated against by cur government, have re
: taliated by discriminating against on
$ wheat, large part of which must I'm
sale abroad if sold at all. England turne'
J the plains of Idaho into wheat fields, Rus
: sia plowed up and sowed the valleys of tn
Baltic, and as result the formers Q
: America, must feed their wheat to ,h
hogs, sell it at loss, or let it rot in tn
granaries. But better condition is com
ing. The new tariff is fair 10 all inter
ests.

Ex-Governor Plaisted, CT Maine, in re-
viewing the resul; of the election in his
paper, the New Age. says in part;
Thirty thousand Maine Democrats did not
go the polls les, Monday. Great dissstis-
faction exists among democrats because of
the unprecedented course pursued by the
Democratic State Committee; hrst. with
regard to the appointment Of Federal off,
GERS and, second with regard to The conduct
Of the campaign. Men who had furnished
character. brains AID money to the party
found their wishes disregarded. and in
many cases appointments we're made which
were obnoxious to the democratic party oi
the localities in which the cfice wal
located.
Then the committees assessment oi

office; refusals, in many cases. to gran. q
hearing; even a reversal in numerous in
stances of the action of local committees
by the one or two who had constituted

which they had arrogated to themselves iC

democrats who asked recognition at the

harmonic the party; the abandonment oi
all political work by the committee from
the day of President Cieyeland's election
and the devotion of its tims and energy to
securing Federal positions for its OWE
members and personal friends-all these
contributed to make the honest principIed
adherents Of the democratic party in
Maine at first restless and finally disgusted
with the party arrangement. The honest
rank and Gie of the democratic party car

How Much Truth.

correspondent of the Democrat waLts.to
know how much truth there is In the state
ment made by Mckinley in speech in the
late canvas In Maine concerning the new
tariff law, lha', ''There is some protection
in it but mostly for the SOUTH" There is
no truth in the statemant whatever, and Il
would be very discredaable to McKinley's
intelligence 10 say that be did not know his
statement was false when ne made It,. There
are ten articles produced in the north on
the datiable list where there Is one produced
10 the south placed on that list, Mckinley
makes complaint that in the new law even
sunac is placed on the dutiabls list, but ne
seems TO forget that he, himself. in his
notorious bin, put duty on that article
more than twice as high as the duty In the
