THERE is such a thing as too much
economy, and, like a little learning, it Is
a dangerous thing. Could Ed Mitchell
of Jackson, Neb., be resurrected, it is
probable he would willingly testify to
the truth of the statement. Mr.. Nit
chell was a farmer, and was going home
with a load of miscellaneous supplies.
To get home, he had to cross the Mis-
souri, river, and two ways were open to
him, the toll bridge, whereby he could
cross the river in safety upon a cash ex-
penditure of 25 cents, ard the public
road, whereby he could cross without
toll, but which crossing was dangerous.
He chose to save the twenty-five
cents and draw the latter way.
When he reached the middle of the
river, the ice broke through and he was
drowned with his horses, and his wagon
went to the bottom. He was out the
actual difference between the IS cents
saved, and the value he set upon his
life and horses and wagon. His econ
omy was too rigid.

IT is not at all probable that Grand
Master Workman Sovereign wants to go
to jail. His statement that he intended
to rush off to ST. Paul ana defy Jenkins
and his Injunction, was not character
ICED by the GOODNESS and soundness of
sense which should be employed by the
master of a body of men so numerous
and powerful as those laborers who are
members of the order he leads. Mr..
Sovereign should not excite, in his ad-
dresses, a contempt for courts, nor a
spirit of refusal to do their biddings.
The courts are the foundation of the law
and order of the nation and Mr.. Sover-
eign knows it. He can ga n nothing by
such addresses as he is now making. In
fact, in his st. Paul speech, he descended
hastily from the rather elevated stand he
took previously, and admitted that he
was not in favor of strikes. MI. Sover-
eign should consider more carefully his
addesses before he utters them. All the
evils he sees, are in his imagination.

measure still further divides the oppos-
ing wings of democracy, and shows
plainly, the inability, of democracy to
argue upon a tariff system, and their in
%capability to cope with the problem Of
government. Senators German and
Brice have labored for a protective duty
on wool and coal, but their efforts have
been unavailing, and even now, free trade
opponents are demanding that they with
ther protection democrats, be drummed
out of the democratic camp. The
failure of the democrats in the senate to
agree upon the proposed changes to be
made there in the tariff, and their de-
termination to report it back, income tax
and all, proves their despair Of render
ing, out of the material they have to
work upon, a satisfactory tariff measure.
They say it is in shape, but in what a
shape it is! And in the midst of all
these troubles, President Cleveland is
off duck hunting, with Secretary Ores
ham. Business is at a standstill, and
w%orkingmen unemployed. Verify, in
the warning of Henry Watterson, de-
mocracy may we'll gaze at the hand
writing on the wall, and read the signs
expressed there.

EX-GOVERNOR MILLER has been east
for the past two months-has visited in
New York and Pennsylvania-gotten
the lay of the political land, and a good
idea of the general sentiments of voters,
and he has returned to the state, convince
ed as are all who come into actual CON
tact with the suffering and distress in
the east, that democracy is by no means
popular. "'There is no use talking DIFF
ferently." said Nj. Miller, "a free trade
policy will never prove popular in the
United States. The republicans had
been in control a long time and many per-
sons, particularly naturalized foreigners,
became dissatisfied and left the party.
The northwest was becoming honey
combed with the free trade idea. But
it won't do. We will see the greatest
republican victories next fall the party
ever won"

The Tribune has an invitation from
the commercial club of Omaha to at
tend the second general convention of the
Interstate Irrigation Association, to be
held at Omaha, Neb., March 21st and
22d, 1894. The Interstate Irrigation
Association was organized at Salina,
Kansas, September %, 1893, for the pur-
pose of demonstrating the practioability
of irrigation in that portion of the
United States lying between the 9th
meridian and the foot hills of the
Rocky Mountains, and known as the
Semi-Arid or Plains region. The states
represented in the formation of the As
ISOLATION we're Nebraska, Kansas, Wyom-
and Colorado. In addition the states of
North Dakota, South Dakota, Oklahoma,
Montana, Texas and New Mexico are
equally interested in the problem which
the association is e%ndeavoring to solve,
and these latter states are especially urged
to send large delegations to this conven-
ton and join in the work.

THEORETICAL free trade, when endeav-
ored to be reduced to practice, is gen.
orally conceded to be a fiat failure. The
free trade plank of the democratic plat
form refuses to bear much weight, and
creaks ominously when trodden upon.
Although democracy feels bound to give
the people the inestimable benefit (?) of
free wool, free iron, free coal, and other
articles, yet democratic organs and dem
ocratic authorities would gladly accept
the necessity of 80 doing, if the escape
could be made consistently with the
former free trade cries of the party.
"We believe" says the Augusta (Ga)
Chronicle (dem.), that the benefits of the
tariff should be extended to raw material
as we'll as to manufactures. We do not
believe in free coal, iron or lumber.
English and other foreign ships come to
u ports for the return cargo alone.
With the present duty of rs cents a ton
removed, foreign ships will come to
southern ports loaded with coal. Any
rate in addition to the cost of loading
and unloading their cargoes will be a
gam to them. If coal can be mined in
foreign countries as cheap as in Alabama,
Tennessee or Georgia, 10 or 20 cents a
ton will be so much made for the ship
Our own mines will be the
losers, and so will our railroads, for they
cannot compete with vessels that come
to the United States in ballast for the
return cargoes. We do not surrender
our individual convictions on the great
economic questions of the day. But in
Difference to the will of our party as ex-
pressed by the election of President
Cleveland and by the present congress,
we submit to the inevitable and accept
the situation. This is a government Of
the people, for the people and by the
people and the majority should rule.
We do not believe in free trade, nor do
we believe that the democratic party is
in favor of it. As a theory, the south
and west possibly are. As a policy it
will be reduced to practice, GER
tain]y not in this generation"

IT will be hard for John Y. McKane to
Q prison garb, and begin upon the SER
vice OF his term Of six years at that place.
Accustomed to ruling, it will be bitter
Tor him to be ruled. Accustomed to be-
ing feared by his henchmen, and accust-
omed to their adulation, the disgrace Of
occupying a felon's cell will be bitter.
The world do move. however, and even
at New York elections, things cannot al
ways be carried with as high a hand as
they have been. McKsne's beginning Of
q term in prison will be an effective les
son to others Of his class in the city and

1876 bushels, the lowest 11.8 bushels; on

THE last issue of the Mandan Pioneer
contains a statement to the farmers and
wool growers of North Dakota, which
they would do we'll to read, and profit by
another election--and it is highly prob
able they will do. Editor Tuttle shows
plainly wherein the people made the
bed they are now SO averse to lying on as
follows:
All over this stale and other states there
are democrats and populists who voted for
a change, who are signing petitions and
wording resolutions beggingt:hat the wool
in terests may be protected, and that the
free wool schedule may be stricken from
the Wilson bill. Leading democrats OF the
state who spent their time and money urg-
who did all they could to send Roach to
the United States senate, pledged to free
wool as the democrats are-these leading
democrats are now doing some OF the tall
est sort of hustling to preserve the North
Dakota wool grower from the danger that
is threatened. To putt mildly, this is a
remarkable state Of things. 1t is a case of
a man acting like a bull in a china shop,
and after the damage is done, going
around trying to find something with
which to mend the pieces. If these demo-
Gratis that are o begging Roach to vote
against free wool are the frie1ids Of the
wool growers, why did they not attend to
the matter sooner? They are over a year
late. Instead of sending along their petit
tons to Washington now-instead of bad
gering Mr.. Roach now with their petitions
and resolutions, they should have gone to
the polls IN November, 1892, and voted for
the candidates OF the party pledged not to
put wool on the free list and consequently
pledged not to ruin the North Dakota wool
grower.

The business of 7o,ooo,o 900 people

The business of 100000 people is
waiting for congress, says the New
York Tribune, and congress is do
ing nothing. Mill wheels are stopped
and trade halts, because congress is ex-
pected to do harm. In November, when
it was believed the misunderstanding
power had been muzzled, industries and
trade revived. The iron output increased
"A per cent. IN Il month, sales of wool
suddenly became larger than the year
before, shipments Of shoes were but II
per cent. less and earnings of railroads
9per cent. less, and the decrease in bank
clearlngs was smaller than in either of
three previous months. Then came the
Wilson bill. December was worse, Jan
uary still worse, and February has
shown, OF the whole, a heavier loss than
any month last year. As congress is
slow to believe that it is making trouble
comparisons are needed to show what
business actually is and has been since
the year beguc. Through all clearing
houses payments last week were a. per
cent. less than last year, IN February
37.5 per cent. less, and for the year to
date 34.9 per cent less. Shipments of
freight eastbound from Chicago have
been 1872 per cent. less for the month,
and the number OF loaded cars passing
Indianapolis II. 8 per cent. less. West
ern receipts of wheat have been 60 per
cent. less for the week, and 44.2 per cent.
less for the year TINS far. Earnings of
railroads were Is per cent. less for the
week, and 1876 per cent. for the year.
Customs receipts were 4O.5 per cent. less
last week, for the month 1913 peri cent.
less, and for the year 43 per cent. less.
Shipments of Connellsville coke for the
month show a decrease of 80 per cent.
and for the year OF 81 per cent. TAX
ings of cotton by northern spinners for
the month have been 65.5 per cent. less,
and for the year 1914 per cert. Sales Of
wool for the week were 37.2 per cent.
less, and for tie year thus far 41.4 per
cent. less

IL looks as through the protection
democrats would have to accept the free
trade provisions of the Wilson bill, IN
come tax and all. Free trade democracy
is in the saddle and free trade democracy
means to have it's way, regardless Of OPP
position or protest. The democrats who
want protection OF certain things will
have to get along without it. The wool
growers will have free wool, and iron
miners and workers will have free iron.

Large Grow in Pennsylvania is 188,2OO,,
says the Chicago Tribune. That for
Harrison in 1892 was 63,8OO. The total
vote for Cleveland that year was $4,000.
That for the democratic congressman
this year is $4,000. What has become
of the missing $4,000 democrats? Was
the Wilson bill so nauseous a dose that
they kept away from the polls? In the
manufacturing county of Allegheny the
vote for Grow was 1000 greater than
that for Harrison. The democratic vote
fell off 1900. It is evident that some
Of the workingmen who voted for C1eve-
land in 1892 made up their minds they
had been fooled, and voted for the re-
publican candidate this year. Philadel-
phia gave Grow a thousand more votes
than it did Harrison. The democratic
vote fell off $4,000. Here, too, repent
ant and converted democratics voted
directly for the republican candidate
and against the Wilson bill. In the
rural districts the republican vote was
not as great as that for Harrison, though
the majority was larger. That was to
be expected at a special election. But
in the great manufacturing centers it
was different. There the republican
voters came out and we're reinforced by
democratic workingmen, who saw their
work growing scanty under the malign-
nant influence of the Wilson bill.

the yield considerably. The highest

grown wheat continually for ten years
was in 1893, lib bushels on four plots
