FARMERS PROSPER BEST UNDER PROTECTION.

It has long been the consensus OF opin-
ion among the students of economic sub
iects in the United States that whatever
affects the farmer vitality must be the final
test of what most directly influences the
masses. In an article In IHE CALL OF
Wednesday it was shown in general way
that without the protection OF reason
able tariff farmers suffer untold mlserlesi
that they are unable to sell their products
affair or to meet with living price for
products in the United States. 1t is not
necessary to go into minute details to
show that some such tariff as that set
forth in the Mckinley bill is practically
the only protection the farmer and horti-
culturist of the United States have
against the markets of the world, particu-
larly against the cheap wheat of India
and the Argentine Republic.
1t is we'll known that the grain fields of
India and the Argentines severely COM
pete with the United States, and those
who have studied the question closest
know that wise protective tariff is the
one Gibraltar of the United States.
1t should be fully understood that the
heavy staples are not the only articles al
fected favorably or unfavorably by the
tariff. So small thing as eggs derive a
great benefit from the doctrines of protec-
ton. 1t was shown by Charles R. Buck
land in the American Economist not long
ago that there is no industry more fatally
affected by the tariff than eggs. Among
other things he said:
Let us look back for period of ten years
from 1888 TO 1898. Between 1888 and 1890
there was no tariff upon eggs The hen prod
uet of the American farmer, raised by the
American farmers wife, was sold in the Amer
lean markets in open competition with the
eggs laid in Canada, in Austria, Belgium
China, Denmark, France, Germany. England
Scotland, Italy, Japan. Mexico, the Neither
lands and Cuba. This will be a surprise to
many farmers, but it is fact nevertheless
Let us now see to what extent the Mckinley
tariff by putting duty on eggs has protected

cultural and commercial interests was that.
when the mckinley bill'' was being prepared
by the Committee of Ways and Means of the
House of Representatives, solicitous and most
earnest appeals for protection OF the agr1cul-
tural interests of the State of New York came
up to Congress from Cbautauqua at the west,
and st. Lawrence at the north, to the extreme
limit OF old Suffolk pointing seward.
New York farmers asked for only such pro-
tectlve duties upon their staple products as
would give them chance to ear n the narrow
margin OF profits which is necessary in order
to keep any industry alive. The protection
sought was fully and generously granted, and
IT has inaugurated new era in New York
farming.
The appeals for protection in the Mckinley
act, to which have just referred, came alike
from Republican and from Democratic farm
also through Representatives in Congress of
both the two great political parties And yet
1t is lamentable record OF our political his
tory that the needed protection, so generously
and SO justly granted. did not receive the
affirmative vote of a single Democratic mem
Der of Congress from the great State of New
York.
The farmers of the State have been greatly
benefited by the protection accorded them in
the Mckinley act, and they would unitedly
and strenuously oppose its abolition, believ-
ing that the repeal of the present duties would
be disastrous to them.
That was the status of protection as it
affected the New York farmer two wears
ago, but, in similar way var ying In diff
ferent sections of the country. The ques-
ton appeals to the masses of agricuitur-
lists.
The closer one studies the question with
relation to the general welfare of the farm
er the more thoroughly is he convinced
that the American farmer is at a great dis
advantage without some such benign in
1uence as protective tariff. Without
protection his products are each year more
and more at the mercy of the cheap prod
ucts of the world.
1t has long been the opinion of experts
that the American farmers prosperity de-
ponds on the general welfare of the coun-
try, and without protection the industries
which make farmers prosperous fail, and
general hard times ensue.

The storehouse and stock Of goods
of Mr.. D. Fl. johnson and grocery
store of Mr.. l. T. Johnsoni occupied
by Mr.. Emory D. Human, located at
Leemont, were destroyed by fire last
Monday night. The loss of Mr.. D.
H. johnson is about $4,000 and his
insurance was about $4,000. The loss
of Mr.. I. T. Johnson is about $500
and his property was not insured.
MIR. johnson saved only small
portion of his stock of goods. Mr..
Hipman was in his store at the time
of the fire and succeeded in getting
out the most of his goods. The fire
started in a granary back OF Mr.. ID.
H. Johnson's store about 1890 o'clock
and it's origin though unknown,
it is believed, was due to the care
lessness of some parties who tearing
off the weather boarding in the rear
of the building had entered it for the
purpose of playing cards. MIR. john
son and no one in his employ, SO far
as he knows, had been in the old
granary for several days. This is
the second loss Mr.. D. H. johnson
has suffered by fire in less than six
months. His storehouse and stock OF
goods at Parskley were burned this
summer with loss to him of about
$4,000 more than insurance.

For an hour he talked most in
terestingly and made strong argu-
ment in favor of the temperance
cause. He seemed to catch and hold
the sympathy of his audience and
was literally applauded. Mr.. Bun
dick evidently believes that human
nature is more easily coaxed then
driven and pins his faith to persuasion
rather than to denunciation. He
called attention to the fact that.
however wrong the liquor traffic may
be from q moral standpoint, it is
legally as right and proper as any
other business, and, placed the blame
for it's recognized evils upon the peo-
pie who by their votes maintained it.
