FARMERS WORST FOB.
WHAT PROTECTION has DONE FOR
THE TILLERs OF THE SOIL

An Ubiquitous High Tariff system
Whereby the Manufacturers Were
Enriched at the Expense OF the
Agrloulturists-A Curse 20 the
Farming Industry.
This country was settled by the till
era Of the SOIL It was the farmers who
cleared away tho forests, fought In
dians and wild beasts, and, in later
years, achieved tho country's freedom
from the tyranny Of foreign rulers 10
has been the farmers who have pushed
the lines Of civilization steadily West
ward and have occupied the great
prairies and fertile river valleys 10 Is
the ever increasing number OF those
who live by eultivating the earth that
has created markets for the diversified
industries which have sprung up oil
over the country. The true basis Of
oil the Nations industrial and COM
mercial greatness has been in the mill
ions Of farms and not in the manuiac-
turing cities and towns.
At the present time the farmers
greatly outnumber those who are en-.
gagged in manufacturing pursuits. As
ours is Government which is claimed
to represent the whole people it might
naturally be supposed that the inter
ests of the majority were the first con.
sideration OF National legislators. A
brief examination vail show whether
such is the fact.
The Census returns for 1890 show
that the farm products Of the United
States in the last census year were
valued ut two and a half billion dol
lars, In the same year tho products
of the American manufacturers were
valued at nine and half billion dol
lars, or more than four times greater
IN value that the farm products, For
this remarkable result Of the larger
number of persons producing compar-
atively small share of the annual
wealth of the country, there must be
some sufficient reason.
What that reason is, is not hard to
find. It is in parts that for over thir.
ty years the Republican party main
tanned a most iniquitous system of
taxation which fell with crushing
weight upon the American farmer.
Under the pretense of creating a home
market for their products the farmers
were compelled to pay billions of dol
lars in unjust taxation, and billions
more in high prices 'extorted by the
favored objects of class legislation.
The protected manufacturers we're cub
sidized with money wrung from the
unprotected farmers, Instead Of help,
ing the great foundation industy Of
the country, it was oppressed by laws
which brought ruin and poverty to
hdndreds of thousands. The record oil
thirty-three years of Republican rule
was one of continued discrimination
against the men whose unwearied toll
had made this great commonwealth.
This is why there has been so much
poverty and discomfort among the far.
mers; why the price of farm lands has
steadily fallen in many States; why
the young men have left the rural dis.
tricts and crowded into the cities and
and towns. Is it not time to protest
against the attempt of the monopolist.
who control the Republican machiue,
to restore and extend thesystem which
has proved such q curse to the farming
industry?

shoycIs WIN Be Bearer.

Representatives of the fourteen
principal shovel factories in the United
States met at Anderson, Ind, recently,
and formed an association or trust
which will practically control the en-.
tire output of shovels in the country.
It was agreed to advance prices twenty
per cent. above the present rates.
The farmer who goes to buy a new
shovel this spring will have the
satisfaction of knowing that the higher
price which he pays for it helps to
make fortunes for the trust monopo-
lists who are protected against foreign
competition. The laborer who digs
drains or shovels gravel will also con-
tribute twenty per cent. increase in
the price of his new shovel to the
greedy manufacturers who want big
ger profits. And as the farmer and
workingman bend their backs over
their trust-taxed and tarif-taxed
shovels they can console themselves by
thinking that if they will only vote
Mckinley into Office the tariff will be
made higher and the trust will make
shovels still dearer. This VIII be a
good thing for the shovel makers.
How will it suit shovel buyersg

The result has been persist

THE LEDGER ever since the
nominations were made at St.

the verdict that must have been
apparent to every one who was
not blinded by prejudice or
who was ignorant of the tenn
per Of the American people.
The Republican party of the
United States, aided by the
Sound Money Democracy, has
won signal victory for Good
Government and an Honest
Currency, and in the great
struggle Kentucky has been in
the forefront Of the fray.
And now that the struggle
is ended, let us all be friends,
helpful to each other, and each
earnest in an endeavor to
share his portion of the pros
perity that will surely follow in
the wake of the great triumph.
The Ledger congratulates
the whole people upon the
outcome, and takes this occa-
sion to say that it will continue
to dispense Truth at the old
stand.

in boilershop. The humping and
changing is enoughto craze person of
! nervous susceptibilities.
In view of the splendid results that
are now obtained in steam heating, it
is needless to say that these faults are
not due to the system, but to the
ignorant application of it. Where
the heat cannot be properly and per-
fectly regulated there has been no
scientific adjustment of heating sur.
face to the cnbic dimensions OF the
room. In many buildings that have
been equipped with the apparatus,
subsequent to their erection, there are
hundreds OF feet OF steam pipe ex-
posed, because it was impossible to
carry them from floor to floor and
from room to room within the walls.
The radiators themselves have suf-
ficient heating surface. while the steam
pipes are responsible for the over heat
ing. The architect of to-day settles
this difficulty in his plans. If the
matter is left to him, steam.h heating
becomes delight to the householder,
as it gives sure and equable tempera.
ture in the utmost extreme weather,
and at minimum of cost for fuel.
The humping in the radiators,
which forms prime objection to the
system in the mind of those who re-
member the experimental stage of
steam. heating, is entirely obviate d by
the use of improved apparatus. 1t is
caused, of course, by the condensing
of steam in the radiators, and when
this water is properly conducted back
into the boiler the system is as noiseless
as hot air or hot water heating.
The accompanying design Is for q
country villa in which the plans call
for simpler and inexpensive steam
heating plant.
