The las5 effort previous to the present
one. to procure the formal sanction OF
Congress in the Monroe doctrine, was
made seventy-two years ago. On Tues
day, January 90, 1924, Nj. Henry Clay OF
Kentucky offered a resolution in the
House OIL Representatives, remarking
that he desired it to lie on the table for
consideration. 1t was much shorter
resolution than the one reported to the
Senate yesterday. 1t differs from that
resolution in other respects-more impor-
tant respects. Here is the full text of the
Clay resolution of seventy two years ago
Resolved by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States OF
America in Congress assembled: That
the people of these states would not see,
without serious inquietude, any forcible
interpos;tion by the Allied Powers OF
Europe in behalf of Spain, to reduce ia
their former subsection those parts of the
continent of America, which have pro-
claimed and established for themselves,
respectively, independent governments,
and which have been solemnly recognized
by the United States.
For all that the records show to the
contrary, Mr. Clay's resolution may be
lying ON the Houses table yet. That is,
nobody ever did anything with it or abou
it, as far as appears.

Ohio which has been distinguished
among the states for its stringent tax
laws seems to be gradually awakening to
the fact that her listing laws and her
other rigorous statutes have not made
taxation more equal, nor have they
served to reveal more personal property
to the assessors. Last year the amount
of foreign stocks and of bonds returned
for taxation was less by twelve hundred
thousand dollars than it was the year
before the Morganthaler act, which is
an exceedingly inquisitorial tax law, was
passed. But according to the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette the law has not only
failed to bring stocks and bonds under
taxation, but it has driven capital by the
millions from the state. A year ago "a
Cincinnati attorney said that thirteen of
his own clients had left Cincinnati on
account of the Morganthaler law. Any

The low price of silver has operated to
as well as in the other far western states.
Colorado's gold production in 1895 was
SIT, $40, 1876 against a California output OF
5000, 900. At the same time the silver
production suffered much less serious
decline than had been feared. 1t amount
ed last year to s14,259. 049; and in ad-
dition the State turned out lead to the
value OF $4,000, I'D; copper to the value
of sS77, 499, coal to the value of IS, 900, 600,
and iron worth IS, 10000. Colorado's
senators can we'll afford to be little less
rampant in their demand for the free
coinage of silver and the consequent de-
barment of gold from the currency.

THE -HOSS" FARMER.

Times change, and people are
shifted from one pOint Of observation
to another. and later in life, we are
often, because Of our past experience,
enabled to see things to a better adj
vantage than we could see at the out
set.
When we were boys the man who
cultivated only .'patches"-who hoed
his crops chiefly. and devoted his time
10 garden truck, poultry and the like,
was regarded ~ u stOne-hnss" farmer,
and held in contempt bv the man, Or
at least by the sons Of the man, with
the broad acres. new appliances aud
sparkling tine teams. But things have
changed. The staple crops have run
away down in price. They don't pay
good interest on the fine fixtures Of the
big teams and :he broad acres. A new
system is necessary. The 'one- boss"
farmer must he initiated. The acreags
Of c"tton. corn, and wheat must be
cut down. The home larder must be
looked to first. Diversified farming
must be resOrted to. The Southern
planter must become the Southern

were, nearer the house F; must think Of
the Glib, the barn lot, the cellar, and
the smOGe-hUuse-must stock up for
home consumption, and raise a small
surplus of each to sell in order to get
him that which lie can not raise but
must have.
In this lies the farmers redemption.

he will pursue this course. Let him
make his wants as few as possible,
and his surplus of each product Of the
farm limited. Then the consumers il
the cities who do not produce will seek

duces he is bound, under snch condi-
tons, to get good professionalism

HON. ROBERT r. BROUSS4RD,

This distinguished young Democrat
has been elected Il congress from this
district by Il majority Of about 1000.
Young and energetic, he has made
a gallant fight for Democracy and
won. His victory is SO much the more
to be appreciated, because achieved ID
the face Of great odds, and comprised
without the adventurous aid of money.
In fact, in justice to his honorable
opponent in the struggle just ended, it
should be said that the other side
fought out the battle on its merit from
their point Of view, and it may safely
be asserted that few congressional
campaigns have ever been fought will,
as small expenditure Of money as the
D just closed in this district.
The SENTINEL thinks our young
congressman elect will make an ex-
cellent representative of the people.
Though young he has much experience
Of public affairs; he is talented. stu
dious and jealous, and his constituents
may rest assured that their present re-
preventative, the Hon. Andrew Price,
will have . worthy successer in whose
hands their every interest will be safe.

IMPORTS OFFICE,

The government records of imports
Of foreign merchandise have been
made up to September /, and we still
find evidence Of the great diminution
in the imports Of rice this year, as
compared with last year, this diminu.
ton including also rice flour, broken
rice, and rice meal, the latter articles
being largely for the brewers use.
The total imports for the eight months
have been 1900 short tons, against
$4,000 short tons during the previous
year. Of this $1,000 tons were
straight rice, against $4,000 tons the
previous year, indicating a diminution
Of such rice of q, 900 tons. The inn
ports Of the rice -four, rice meal and
broken rice were $4,000 tons, against
10000 tons the year before, a dimlnu-
ton of 1000 tons. The value e

MCKINLEY OUR NEXT PRES.
IDENT.

At the present writing Thursday
night all indications point to the cleo
ton Of William Mckinley, Of Ohio. as
President Of the United States. The
people have spoken and their verdict
is final.
That verdict is not to the liking Of
millions of American citizens, but still
the moment it il ascertained to be the
verdict Of the people, that SHOULD
settle the matter.
If Mckinley has won, lie has til.
umphed over one Of the nOblest and
bravest sons America has ever pro-
duced. William j. Bryan eve III de-
feat il greater and more admired
man than Mckinley, and he is deeply
enshrined i'll the hearts Of millions Of
Americans.
Whether Mckinley's election will
prove for the good of the American
people ut large remains to be seen.
We would rather deter Judgment but
We cannot forbear expressing our
grave apprehension that it means a
new lease Of life to the monopolies,
trusts and combines which now op-
press the people, and that a robber
tariff is to be foisted anew on the peo-
pie.
One thing is certain, and that ia, it
not only defeats the free and unlimited
c"inase Of gold and silver by the Uni
ted States alone for the next four years
bur 1t will materially retard the cause
Of bimetallism. What the final issue
on this subject may he will depend
much Oh future contingencies.
