made by the people in 1892 resulted in the
repeating of this legislation by Congress
in the Wilson, ormnn act of 1894, stop
ping this industry. The Dingley bill, en-
acted by the extra session of the present
Congress, has again revived the hopes of
the American people. There Is pros
pect now that this $100.000,000 will, with
In few years. be kept at home to be dis
tributed among the working people
throughout the country. One question
the American farmer must always have
In mind, and that is, the steady employ
ment Of our laboring people. We are
workers ourselves. Those who employ
labor in other lines would feel the effect
OF these new industries. Labor would
be more in demand and get better prices
because OF the distribution Of this $780,
OOO,OOO among our people. II will be an
opportunity, valuable 20 the farm not only
in the diversification of crops, but with re-
gard to its benefit to the dairy. The by
products of beet factories will be as val
liable for feeding 10 the GARY cow as the
sugar beet would be before taken to the
factory, because the bulk Of our staple
crops has more carbOnaCsOus matter imam
the dairy COW requires. The factories Inly
use the carbonaceous part OF the heet,
leaving the heterogeneous matter entirely
in the pulp. a great impetus will be CIV
en- TO dairying in the United States. The
sugar industry will enable the farmer to
find this necessary element OF COW feed.
and the farmer, when he takes load OF
beets to the factory, will bring back a load
OF pulp and save il up against the time
when be needs to feed il. Note the erect
of the two policies as they bear upon the
farmer and his prosperity. The theory
OF the one is that we should buy IN the
cheapest market. We tried that during
the last administration. The theory or
the other is that we should produce In the
United States everything that our soil
and climate are capable of producing. we
remember distinctly the effect Of this pol
icy under all Republican administration.
We are getting an earnest OF the effect
OF it now under the preser adminstra-
tion.
Protection Establishes New Industries
That protection establishes new indus
tries we have had Il lively Illustration
within the past few years. In 1891 we
had no tin manufactures in this coun-
try; we imported 1,036. 4S9.074 pounds.
President Mckinley placed % cents a
pound on tin coated iron and steel. That
net has created nearly 200 tin plate mills.
In 1891 we imported $25,000,3O5 worth.
For the fiscal year ended June 30. 1872,
we only imported 81 ,+S2,3S0 worth. We
import now for special uses only; very
soon wo will not import any.
The Go'l condition TO be reached is such
diversified .on Of industry that the farm
er will find home market for most of his
products. The establishment OF every
new industry brings us nearer to that
ideal. 1t is estimated that 10000 people
are directly and indirectly employed in
the tin plate industry. They are new
customers here for the American farm
ers that we formerly fed at arms length
in other countries.

a Grent industry.

Secretary Wilson is constantly on the
lookout for ways and means to benefit the
farmers OF the United States. The report
OF his department is OF unusual impor-
lance this year, because II treats Of the
efforts TO stimulate the production OF
sugar beets. Secretary Wilson Is an en-
thusiast on this subject. He predicts that
in ten years the United States will be an
exporter Of sugar, instead Of the largest
importer in the world.
The capacity OF the United States for
the production OF beet sugar 10 practically
unlimited: and with the object OF ascer-
tanning the most favorable localities for
its growth, Secretary Wilson distributed
seven tons Of imported sugar beet seeds
among $4,000 farmers in twenty-seyen
States, with the understanding that they
should furnish samples of their crop to
the department for the purpose Of analy-
sis and statement explaining the condi-
tons under which each sample was pro-
duced, and the method of culture.
The Secretary expresses himself as
deeply gratited by the returns. The most
favorable results have been obtained from
those sections Of the United States where
new industries were demanded for the
farmer and where the manufacture or
beets into sugar can be accomplished win
the greatest economy as to labor ana
transportation. The experiments in west
ern Nebraska, Utah and California which
have been going on for some years nave
demonstrated the practicabiiity OF peet
culture in those sections. but the samples
of this years crop which have been Tor
warded to the department at washington
and the experiment stations elsewhere
show that the soil and climate OF ONO
and other Central States are even better
adapted for this sort of crop than those
of the far West. 1t is on the result or
these tests that Secretary Wilson bases
his prediction that IN ten years this coun-
try will have sugar to sell.-Akron co.

No Satisfaction for Free Traders.

Free traders who expected support for
their peculiar views from the English
statisticfan, Mulhall, will be disappointed
to know that he has taken pains to point
out the fact that the expectations of the
United States have increased three times
as fast as has her population during the
protective tariff period Mr.. Mu;hall
shows in a recently published article that
while the increase in population in the
past twenty years has been IS per cent.
the increase in the value of expectations
has been 1T5 per cent, and practically al
that under high protective tariff.

What's the Matter with Goldq"

We have coined about $700,O0O,OOO OF
silver. We have now over $6OO,OOO,OOO
of gold. Silver will sell for the cost or
production at the mines, and 1t Is being
mined now proftably in many mines. Free
coinage at 10 to would deprive us of our
gold currency and bring the country to a
silver basis, while all the nations we need
deal with pay us gold. The hard times
Just vanishing were not caused by any
legislation regarding currency, as other
people have claimed. The farmers bring
the money from abroad into this country;
we get pay for grains, meats, dairy pro-
ducts, ETC., in gold. Some people advise
us to insist on getting our pay in silver.
What's the matter with gold? 1t goes;
it is all our foreign customers have to
pay us with. Nobody refuses il here. we
deal in gold values now, do business with
"tt." Why interrupt coming prosperity
with divided counse,s over change to
silver values that would relegate gold to
the safety deposit vaults? Gold is an
American product. increasing every day
from Alaska to Tennessee. Gold, and pa
per representing it, are good the world
over. We have perhaps $700,OOO.OOO OF
silver in circulation. 1t pays debts be-
cause redeemable in gold. It's certih-
Gates are good and in national use. Our
greenbacks are good because redeemable
in gold. We have plenty Of currency, all
good, all interchangeable. Why should
we inquire farther into currency 1t If
merely the measuring stick Of exchange.

English Compliments.

It is not often that the London Times
pays a compliment to the productive l.
dustry of the United States, but here is
an item from its columns that American
labor can enjoy:
american machine tools by hundreds
OF thousands of dollars worth are sent,
freight paid. for thousands of miles across
the ocean to England. Germany, France,
Russia. Japan and China, and it is diff
cult to resist the contention that this
simply means the success Of free and in
tellgent labor well paid"
"Free and intelligent labor well paid"
has given to this country its achievements
in the commercial world. Every experi-
ment of free trade in opposition thereto
has proven an unhappy failure.-Ex-
