In the next column are the argu-
ments of Senator Cannon, of Utah, in
favor of a bounty on the exports pro-
ducts Of the farmers the price of which
is fixed abroad in competition with all
the cheap lands and cheap labor of the
world because we have a surplus. On
Thursday of last week, the 10th, Mr..
Cannon's amendment came before the
Senate and Senator Benjamin n. Till
man, the greatest champion of the
farmers and peoples interest in The U.
S. Senate to day, made a speech in fav-
or of the bounty. He used his pitch.
fork to stir up The mnsty hay mows Of
both old parties.
Mr.. Tillman started off with a sar'
castle reference to the differences of
opinion that have appeared among his
Democratic associates during the tariff
debate, and to the ~apathetic condition
of the Republicans who, because of
caucus dictation, sat with their mouths
closed except when unanimously voting
for exactions in behalf of trusts and
monopolies.
"As one of them" said Mr.. Tillman,
al can talk for the farmers of this
country. What they want is a tariff
that will not rob them. They look to
Congress to give them some relief and
to help pay the mortgages that are
gnawiDg on their homes. If they are
deceived" said MI. Tillman vehement
ly, ''the nine million followers of the
plough will settle with you at the bal
lot box"

against the pauper labor of Europe

the voters to say, I'VE do not want the
