NOT YET a LAW.
The Dingley Bill Not Responsible for
Hard Times.

No tariff, however wisely planned, can
be expected to regenerate business be-
fore it is put in force.
In many quarters there is n tendency
to blame the Dingley bill, and, Incl
| dentally, the whole republican party be-
| cause the good times and abundant cash
of 1892 have not come in with McKin-
ley's Inauguration.
The best pillow turns no furrow till
| ii is taken TO the field. The new tariff
cannot accomplish much until it gets
| to work. AS it still has the senate to
face, it does not even know what it's
pattern and capabilities may be after
| passing through that ordeal.
If the Dingley bill, after six months
of trial, cannot show substantial re-
suits in way of revived business activity
| and confidence, then it may fairly be
blamed for disappointing the hopes of
the nation.
The mere expectation of stiff pro-
tective tariff has already had strength
ening effect upon business. On every
side, under the influence Of new hopes,
| trade and industries are slowly but
surely advancing. Many mills and fac
tories, closed under an administration
of theorists, have resumed work. Thou
sands of operatives, long idle, are back
at their FORCES and their looms.
But anticipation of demand, though
it may stir the wholesale trade, has lit
tie effect upon the retailers. These de-
pend upon the free cash in the pockets
Of the people. And no very large in
cr:ase in this direction can reasonably
be expected until the new tariff gets
down to it's daily work.-Illustrated

FRUIT LOOKS WELL.
Excellent Prospect for n Larger Crop
Than Ever.

st. Joseph, April 26.-The present in
dications are that there will be larger
crop of all kinds of fruit in this section
OF country than last season, which was
the largest crop of fruit ever gathered
in the fruit belt. 1t was reported that
the entire crop of peaches was killed
last winter, but many farmers have ex-
amined their trees and find that two
thirds of the buds are alive and this is
more than the trees can hold. Many
farmers are glad that part of the crop
was killed because last season many
trees broke down with the weight of
the crop and the farmers had to hire
help to pick off the peaches when they
were green and small.
Another reason why the crop will be
larger than last year is because many
acres of young orchards will bear for
the first time. The berry crop will, ac-
cording to present indications, be larger
than last year, as many acres were de-
stroyed by the dry weather of last sea-
son. Last season the pear crop was
short in this locality, but this year the
yield will be greater than any other
year in the history of the fruit belt.

DEMOCRATIC SPLIT AGAIN.
The Party Of Discord In Now sn a Had
Way.


Oncemore the democracy has achieved
the apparently impossible. 1t has man
aged to split itself again, and thus
broken the precedents in another place.
A party out of power is ordinarily forced
into a semblance of harmony with itself.
Its function is to oppose the majority,
and this, when the majority is an active,
aggressive organization, as the repub-
lican is, keeps the minority so busy that
il has neither the incentive nor the
opportunity to quarrel with itself. In
general this has been the order of things
with every great party from the Begin
ming of the government.
But the democracy is not hampered
by examples or traditions, and while so
far in the minority in the house of rep
resentatives that it is powerless to ma
terially affect the course of legislation
it has shattered itself on the question of
the sort of opposition it will offer to the
dominant republican party. One fac
ton wants to coincide in the republican
programme of doing nothing further in
the house in the way of practical legis-
lation until the senate passes the tariff
bill, while the other elementwould fight
this programme, and try to force the
republicans in the house to go ahead
with the business Of legislation just the
same as if this were regular session.
The frst-named faction is under the di-
rection-so far as any segment of the
democracy can be said to be under the
direction of anybody or anything-of
Bailey, of Texas, while the more promi-
nent spirits in the other section are
Bland and McMillin. The latter faction
has the ADLER men, but is the smaller in
number.
This absence of harmony which the
democracy reveals even when in the mi
nority calls attention to a serious con-
stitutional defect in that organization.
That defect is lack of leadership. 1t is
a defect which has chung to that party
ever since the war days. Not for third
of century has the democratic party
In congress had n leader who was cap
able, and who, at the same time, had the
confidence of the party. This accounts
for the lack of discipline and cohesive
ness in that party, and its failure to ac-
complish anything when it has got into
power. In this respect the democracy
has been distinctively weaker than the
republican party. In the ante-bellum
days the brains of the democracy were
furnished by the south, but since the
war and the overthrow of the old order
in that section the south lost its primacy
in that party, and in n certain direction
the party has suffered as a consequence
An, oil taI
sition party can always make its infiu-
ence felt in congress in many ways, but
there will be no such opposition in the
next two years. Seldom in the long and
diversified history of the democratic
party has that organization been feebler
N leadership, spirit and influence than
it is at this moment.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

buildings Demolished and Several
Persons Injured.

Saginaw, April 25.-A special to the
Courier-Herald from Omer, Aranac
county, says that a cyclone struck
that town at $3.50 Saturday evening,
completely demolishing the general
store of w. II. Clouston. whose resi-
dence was also torn down and his shin
gle mill wrecked. Mr.. and Mrs. Hag
ley were blown GO feet into the air
and both were fatally hurt. Mr.. Clous-
ton received serious scalp wound and
il thought to be fatally injured. Mrs.
John Il. BallSie and her brother, John
Cannally of Port Huron, were in the
upper portion of the store building
when it collapsed. They were buried
under the debris. but escaped serious
injury. John Campbell's building, un-
der course of construction, was blown
down and completely wrecked The
Hagley residence was blown to pieces
and not board can be found within
200 feet of its former location. Mr..
Clouston's loss is $1,000 on buildings
and $4,000 on stock. The Presbyterian
church was damaged to the extent of
$500. The cyclone lasted but mo-
nent and was followed by n terrific
rain. The cloud was funnel-shaped and
took a northeasterly direction. When
it reached the woods trees were up
rooted and carried into the air.

THE FARMERS RIGHTS.
Producers Should Have Ample Pro-
lection.

Senator Warren, of Wyoming, voiced
n common sentiment ia the west when
he said that the tariff bill must recog-
nize agricultural, mining and lumber
interests. as we'll as those of eastern
manufacturers. He had observed a ten
dency, in respect of wool, coal, sugar
and other natural products, TO yield
every point to the middleman, sub
tracing from the duties proposed by
the producer at his demand for cheaper
raw material. This policy would, he
said, be fatal if adopted. 1t certainly
ought to be.
AS the chief sufferers from the Cor
man-Wilson tariff, the farmers were the
stanchest advocates in the late cam
paign of republican success. They car
ried New York, Indiana, Kentucky,
Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota and
Oregon and all but a few of the remain
ing Mckinley states. They did so for
their own relief under the pledge of the
st. Louis platform to make the new
tariff equitable as between the producer
and manufacturer. To break faith with
them now would be 10 do violence to
principle and policy alike, and the net
political result would be damaging to
every great interest in the country. No
tariff bill, as Senator Warren says,
could pass, and the defeat of the meas
ure, as we may add, would, under the
circumstances, lead 10 profound re-
action against the republican party.
Wool must be protected as we'll as it
was in the Mckinley bill. The farm
products in which there is Canadian
competition should have ample safe
guards, including, of course, the staple
product of lumber. California, which
went republican on the tariff issue,
would be difficult to hold within party
limits if the rate on wines, raisins, nuts,
sugar and citrus fruits should be cut
to suit the foreign market. We are we'll
aware that Germany demands free or
next to free entrance for her sugar, but
if she gets il what will become of our
own beet sugar industry-a thing of far
more Importance to this country than
our German export trade? The beet and
cane growers demand either protec-
ton or bounty for sugar. Is relief to be
denied them because of the interests
of Germany in the welfare of n sugar
industry of her own, which she protects
at the rate of 80 to AIS cents per pound?
Senator Warren is right. The farmer
must have his fair share of protection.

not to be put off with buzzard.-San

WILSON'S WOOL TALK.
Onsound Premises Of the Low Tariff
Professor.


For a man who is not the author of
the tariff law of 1894 Mr.. Wilson is I'M
necessarily disturbed over the radical
departure from his policy as embodied
in the wool schedule of the Dingley bill.
1t is true that Mr.. Wilson generally en-
joys the distinction of having construct
ed the worst tariff bill in the history
of our government but this is not en-
tirely fair TO Mr.. Wilson, for no one
can predict with absolute and unerring
certainly just what would have been
the result if Mr.. Wilson's tariff bill
had been adopted as he framed it. No
one can accurately calculate just how
many years it would have taken to
recover from the panic if Mr.. Wilson's
bill had become law without the 4O3
amendments which the senate, under
the advice of Jones and German, tackled
onto il.
But as the author of a tariff bill
which never became law, Mr.. Wilson's
opinion of the Dingley bill is of course
entitled to some attention, although il
must be borne in mind that Mr.. Will
son was never engaged in any productive
industry and never sold a pound of
wool in his life.
In criticising the wool schedule of
the Dingley bill Mr.. Wilson says that
if it becomes a law it will Immediately
Increase the cost and degrade the quail
ity OF the wooden goods consumed"
In support of this contention Mr.. Will
son exhibits the results of his fine
mathematical training by doing some
reckless Juggling with figures. Mr..
Wilson estimates that the Dingley
schedule will add $3.50 to the cost of
each inhabitants clothing each year,
or $1s0,0O0,000 in increased cost of
clothing.
If Mr.. Wilson's figures were borne out
by facts, who would get this $50, 100000
increase in the cost of clothing? 1t is
the evident purpose of Mr.. Wilson TO
make it appear that the wool growers
and makers of the cloth would divide
this sum between them. Nothing could
be more absurdly fallacious. Men can
not wear the cloth as it comes from the
loom. If Mr.. Wilson's contention were
true, at least two-thirds of this increase
would go to tailors and merchants.
Will any patriotic American grumble
over the distribution of such a sum
among the people who make mems
clothing and women's dresses?
But Mr.. Wilson's premises are not
sound. No honest student of the mar
kets will contend that the price of
clothing was decreased 20 per cent I'M
der the German tariff. If the price Of
clothing was not decreased 20 per cent.
under the German law how can the
restoration of the Mckinley duties in
crease it 25 per cent. under the proposed
Dingley measure?
No man who is conscious of mans
fallibility on economic questions will
contend that the Dingley wool schedule
is absolutely perfect. But it must al
ways be borne in mind that this country
cannot protect it's wool growers without
mourning some additional expense for
wooden cloth. It has been demonstrated,
however, that the per capita increase
is so Slight and so inconsequential COM
rared to the incalculable benefits that
accrue to the great wool-growing in
dustry that 10 genuine American will
grumble at il for a moment.-Chicago
