The Foraker crowd is saying openly
that Hanna came very near electing

Mckinley only $1,000 majority instead
of the 10000 that was expected was
because of Hanna's record as a monopo-

show that the cry of Cleveland was

majority where il should have given

FARMERS vICTIMIZEo.
How the Protection scheme Rebo the
Proaurer

1t is reported from Washington that
the proposed tariff law will be fun OF
protection for the farmers. The repub-
lican party has been trying for a good
many years to properly protect the
farmers. and still they have steadily
been compelled TO accept the assurance
that the next tariff would do the fair
thing by them. That is. the farmers
have con tinued 10 live in hope. notwith-
standing the fact that many OF them
died in despair. Now. for the severalth
time, the farmers are assured by the
republican party that the good thing
they have been eagerly looking for II
coming right along. and that the next
tariff will embrace the quantity and
quality Of protection they need in their
business. This means that. in the opin-
ion OF the republican leaders. "the same
old gag" has not as yet outlived its use
fulness; that the farmers eyes may still
be fitted with wool binders.
II is not necessary at this late day 70
bring argument TO bear on the fallacy
that the farmer can be benefited by re-
publican protection. The history ct
American tariffs is full of evidences Of
such fallacy. The farmer has always
found protection working againsthim;
never in his behalf. His agricultural
implements and the clothing be and his
family wear he has been compelled 10
buy at prices that prove how well the
manufacturers are protected. but when
he has gone TO the market to sell. he has
always found protection taking day
off. The republican party has found il
much easier TO fool the farmer than to
4 make a tariff that was of the smallest
advantage to him.
OF course the scheme OF republica>
protection must embrace the good of all
Manufacturers, merchants. mechanics
and farmers must come in for share
in its manifold blessings-on paper. and
if the scheme fails here and there IL
operation. there is always plenty o.
wool" The republicans will never b
at a loss so long as the wool" holds out
1t is perhaps n good thing. for them
that the farmers are disposed 20 b
credulous. for they can enjoy in antici
patton the benefits that are quite ces
tain to fail OF materialization.-Bins
