WHAT FARMERS SHOULD UNDEh-
STAND.
American Economist.

Mr.. Mckinley correctly argues that
law which closes our shops and factories
and makes labor IDLE reduces home con-
sumption Of farm products and naturally
reduces prices. Mr.. Edward Atkinson, a
student OF the causes Of depression, quite
agrees IN this. He says:
There are now Noo0. 900 men, women and
children occupied for gam In all the arts on
which life depends. II constructive enter
prise Is paralvzed as 1t has been ana only
per cent. are idle. that means LOO 90
men out Of work and nearly 600 people
suffering want. while the food they would
consume chckes the farms with unstable
prcducts. II 10 per cent. are Idle, 2, 900 900
need work. and 200 oD people suffer want,
while the food ro.s and wastes In the farm
ers' bins
But additional evidence shows how q
free trade tariff operates TO iniure the
farmer. Our consumption OF wheat has
been as follows, per capita:

for northern story paper. That was IL
years ago, and to the story he gave his
real name. He received fat check for
it, but year after year went by and--the
story never appeared. 1t finally passed
from his remembrance, until the other
day, when he received letter from the
publishers informing him that it would
shortly put in an appearance in serial
form. That made the author nervous,
and he forthwith sent the following tel
egram:
"Suppress story and return manu-
script and will pay three times amount
of original check. "
The publishers replied
Cam do it, We know good thing
when we have it. The story is in your

A FIELD OF DAISIES.

Away and away on every side

Looked up and welcomed the sunshine bright.

And muttered frowningly, IN be blest
If ever see such spreadin pestP'
His wife was bustling to and FRO

Decorating with muslin and scrim,
And the ever present Japanese fan.

And out for a 'posy'' of daisies sped

said.
The "boarders' came, and with "0hsl" and
'Ahsl"
Greeted the fields where the daisios trooped.
And they plucked them for belt and breast
and hair,
Then threw them down where they faded
and dropped.
And they fell in the dusty wagon track,
Where the clumsy oxen drew cart and rack
And their trsmpled beauty came not back.
But the little daughter wandered forth
Under the branching apple trees
That bordered the field. and lived all day
With birds and flowers and whispering
breeze.
And the daisies listed her prattle sweet
And told her stories for fairies meet,
Such as only the daisies can repeat.
And the poet, dreaming beneath the trees.
Half in shadow and half in sun,
As the drifting clouds moved overhead.
Lived with the daisies till day was done.
And they Weakened thoughts that in liquid
rhyme
Carried the soul of the summer time
To an exile loncin n dreary cline.

william Morris as a Socialist.

Mr. Joseph Pennell, writing in the
London Daily Chronicle, records the fol-
lowing incident: | remember seeing
William Morris one Sunday afternoon
walking up Parliament street. A meet
ing was being held in the square. Inow
forget entirely what it was about, but
tho people holding it had made up their
minds to march to Westminster abbey.
with vague idea probably that when
they got there they might do something.
Suddenly an enormous crowd began to
pour out of the square down Parliament
street--a black, solid, muddy mass. for
twas wet, wintry day. On they came.
with q sort of irresistible force, which
really frightened one looking on as
spectator. And right in front-among
the red flags, singing with all his might
"The Marseillaise was William Nor
ris. He had the face of u crusader, and
he marched with that big stick of his as
the crusaders must have marched.
One turned round and went with the
crowd, which, when it got to the abbey,
seemed half inclined to smash the win
dows, but those at the head OF 1t were
switched off and passed into Poets cor
ner, there to sit down and be preached
to, while the others. who could not get
in, were addressed by Canon Rawlin-
SON outside. But what was SO curious
was to find this artist-like another
Courbet-leading crowd who really
did not know what they wanted 10 do.
However had this crowd determined to
destroy, to tear down even stone OF
the abbey or to break u window, think.
instead of William Morris leading them
step farther, that they would only
have taken that step over his body.
am not so sure what would have hap
pened had the crowd marched against
st. Pauls. for Morris hated the one sort
of work as much rs he loved the other.
