transpires that beneath it all there is one
OF the most infamous characters of modern
times.
How Europe win take this new dis.
covery in the Sultan's character and
methods remains to be seen, but however
humiliating it may be to the diplomatic
corps at Constantinople they will have to
admit that the Porte has been throwing
dust in their eyes for years. This fact, no
doubt, will help to intensity the hatred OF
the people of Europe for the Turkish ruler
and it was already to the point where the
powers were almost compelled to act by
force of public opinion.
1t must be remembered that the Sultan
is one OF the most highly educated men in
Europe, besides he is close and careful
student of statecraft, and keeps close in
touch with public sentiment at home and
abroad, but he has always felt secure in
his European possessions because he knew
he was necessary as a kind OF balance
wheel in the intrigues of the powers for
territorial acquisition. Now, however,
that it is known that he has been at the
bottom of all the massacres of Christians,
courteous apologies and courtly assurances
that reforms would be instituted are not
likely to be longer accepted. But although
the man is great statesman, cunning
diplomat, and a fiDancier OF superior abil-
ity, there is no doubt that be is q religious
fanatic and an insufferable blgot. He be-
lieves in MohammedaDtsm, ana he does
not believe that any other system of re-
ligion should be allowed to flourish. He
may have dreams of Mohammedan en-
pire that shall include the world, but
whatever he thinks or believes the time
has come when his country should be
divided among such nations as realize
that this is the nineteenth and not the
ninth century.

TO THE WHEAT-GROWERS OF
CALIFORNIA.

Wheat-growers of California, you know
what has been the result to you of the
three years experiment with Democratic
legislation. You are aware that in 1892,
when the Republican party was in power,
the Mckinley tariff in full force and all
cur wage-earners were able to live well,
the home consumption of wheat was $780,
la, 900 bushels, and that in 1885, under the
stress of the Democratic depression, the
home consumption was only 315, 454, 900
bushels.
Here was loss at home of market for
more than 100000 bushels of wheat.
This surplus had to be shipped abroad to
break down the price by overstocking the
market in Liverpool. You lost more tn an
the price of the exported wheat. The
home market follows very closely the
price in the Liverpool market. When
your wheat shipped abroad lowered the
Liverpool price it lowered also the price of
every bushei sold at home. study of
your own experience as n wheat-seller in
1892, when compared with that O. 1895,
will show you what you lost as an indI-
vidual by the Democratic experiment of
breaking down the home market for your
wheat in search Of the worlds market
which the free-traders promised would
make you rich.
1t was not the demand for wheat only
that fell off during these years OF depres-
sion. In 1892 the home market consumed
1888 sol, 900 bushels of corn, and in 1895
only 1,1S4, ,1S4 600 bushels. Here was a
loss of a market for 800 000,0 900 bushels of
corn, with consequent fall of price for
every bushel of corn that was sold either
at home or abroad. Nor was that all. The
Mckinley tariff protected the farmer from
the competition OF foreign farm products.
This protection the Wilson, German tariff
broke down. The consequence was that,
while under the last fiscal year of the Nc
Kinlev tariff the imports of foreign farm
products into this country were valued at
less than $66, 600 900, in the very next year,
under the Democratic rule of free trade IN
farm products, we imported more than
S134, ,000,0 worth. Here was loss to the
American farmers of a market at home
for more than $685. 100000 of products. Is
1t strange that times are hard with the
farmer?
You have titled the soil AMI sold the
produce of your labor under Democratic
conditions long enough to fully under
stand their effect upon your earnings and
your home. By the hard experience of
Tree trace you know what protection did
for you before it was broken down. You
can help to restore good times for all and
good prices for your products by helping
TO return to power the party of protec-
ton. You need the home market. Amer
lean mills and shops are as necessary to
YOU as are VOur farms to the Workers in
the shops. The true interests of all
Americans are in complete harmony.
What benefits the manufacturer benefits
the farmer. To re-esta bIish protection is
to revive prosperity everywhere in this
country and to send its blessings into
every home. That blessing will come TO
your industry and to your home Work
for it, vote for it. Make yourself count
one for Mckinley, patriotism, protection
and prosperity.

The belief is spreading in Europe that

the massacre of Christians the last few
years than his subjects. Evidence is ac-

tack upon Armenian and other Christians
was in obedience to orders issued direct
by the Sultan. The Sultan is recognized
as one of the most cunning statesmen and
