The Farmer and the Tariff.

Although we hear much these days
concerning the revival which has lately
come to the iron, steel and allied indus
tries-a revival which, whatever its
cause, all Americans are glad to well
comet is a noteworthy circumstance
that the able Democratic editors, whose
mission 1t is to make party capital,
have as yet had nothing to say about
any revival in the tanning industry.
To be sure, the recent Democratic tar
iff-tinkers decided among themselves
that they would not bother about the
farmers, excepting their own southern
planters. But this little bit Of cool
indifference will not prevent the farm
ers. now that election time Is drawing
nigh. from taking survey of their own
condition. now and under Republican
rule.
One Of the first things which they
will discover as q result Of this balanc-
ing Of accounts is that the change from
protection to a tariff for deficit only
has cost them a good deal of money.
The truck farmer near the city will
find that he lost his market at about
the eame time that Democratic tariff
tinkering closed the workshop and
crippled the mill. and he hasn't by any
means got It back yet. The wooi-grow-
er in the rural region will ascertain
that his trouble commenced at the mo-
ment he began TO feel the effects of free
wool, which forced him either to sell
his hocks to the butcher. for slaughter.
or else to accept the 1ialf-price for his
clip and decided. az soon as he got the

certain states. but because they have
achieved that in public life which has
attracted the attention of the nation
TO them. They are conspicuous figures

can people. Sometimes party policy.

nomination for president OF some man
who is not conspicuous in public iife.

canism. great in the production of as
Republican ma ajorbties. has not In re-
cent years produced men who are recog-
m,zed by the nation as great In the
realm of national craftsmanship. For
that reason neither of the great politi-

presidential candidates. II this great

Sunday Liquor Selling.

As to the merits of the uncomplicated
question of the Sunday selling Of liquor
in this country there does not seem
to be much room for difference Of
opinion. Those who cite in support
of an affirmative attitude the argu-
ment that in certain European coun-
tries notably Germany. the sale of light
wines and beer on Sunday, In parks
and gardens, is unproductlve of vio-
lence or disorder. present a case which
is by no means parallel to the Ameri-
can case. and therefore their arguments
fall to the ground
The law in this country very proper
ly is non-sectarian; hence it declines to
enter into details that pertain espe-
cially to the conscience. Whether 1t is
right or wrong for man to drink beer
or ale on Sunday Is not a matter for
legal but for moral determination. But
it is properly subject for legal action
when the sale of certain commodity
on Sunday becomes, in its visible con-
sequences. a public nuisance, which
interferes with the rights of those peo-
pie who wish to observe the first day
of the week as a day Of worship and
rest. Along this line the law is in duty
bound to take cognizance of the nui-
sance known as Sunday liquor-sellng,
which. in nine instances out of ten,
does disturb the rights Of the ma jorlty.
The good citizen Is always willing to
yield a point or two of his personal
rights II 1T will contribute to the gen.
eral welfare. Thus many persons who
can see no harm in moderate in
diligence in beer or wine on Sunday,
and who, II the sale of these beverages
on that day were demanded by large
majority sentiment, as in France or
Germany, would probably purchase
them, are content to forego what to
them seems harmless pleasures, in de-
ference TO the Widespread American
sentiment in favor Of Sunday observ-
ance. These tolerant citizens do not
howl about the loss Of their personal
liberties; they do not get up mass meet
ings to countenance and aid the viola
ton of law; and they do not pose be-
fore the multitude of suffering mar
tyrs to the Puritanical Sabbath. They
act like men, and behave themselves.

HOUSEKEEPING RATES.
Real Estate Agents Meet to
Agree Upon a Uniform
Commission.
The Profits of the "To Let" Business
Depend Upon the Landlords
Liberality.

An informal meeting of prominent real
estate men took place last night in the
office of Baldwin & Hammond at 10 Mont
gomery street for the purpose of agreeing
upon uniform commission for house
renting. Heretofore agents have worked
to disadvantage in that they have been
subject to the peculiar location of the
property to be leased and to the liberality
or anxiety of the landlord.
In the matter of proposed sale the
owner, when he places the property in the
hands of the real estate man, is duly
bound to abide by his agreement, and no
transaction can take place outside of the
actual sale, but in renting q landlord may
rent his house and the agent may find his
''To Lett bill on the building torn down
by the new tenant or the landlord without
any official or business notification.
The rates of commission have swung all
around 10 per metimes higher, but
more often lower-and the real estate
agents have come to the conclusion that
this matter will bear regulation. The
meeting was attended by representatives of
the firms of Boyee,, Toy d Co., OFarreli d
Co., Shainwald d. Buckbee, o. f. Won
Rhein, A. ]. Rich & Co. and Baldwin &
Hammond.
Buckbee secretary. A number of sugges-
tions were made as to a uniform rate, but
n nothing definite was agreed upon. 1t was
the sense of the meeting that the agent is
getting somewhat the worst of the house
renting business. and if the matter was
not regulated to uniform rate the house
owner will be permitted to dispose of his
own building and dicker with his tenants
in accordance with their desire to get un-
der a roof, and also in accordance with
their means and tastes.
A member of Umbsen & Co. expressed
his doubts as to anything like success
coming from the conference of real estate
men, The rate of commission, he thought,
would be practically governed by peculiar
conditions, the prominent and general one
being the landlords anxiety to find a
renter and the activity he displayed in get
ting that tenant himself and getting out
of the 10 per cent commission
The meeting adjourned without any
thing being definitely settled except that
house-renting to the agent was not a
method of acquiring wealth.
Another meeting will be held at Bald
win & Hammond's Office on the evening of
Decem ber 21.
