We then make no experiment. Our soil and climate n suitable and
wherever planted and cultivated in Missouri tobacco has been all that could
be desired superior in quality and eagerly sought after in the markets.
Russian area, cultivated with very cheap labor. Egypt and Argen-
tina are also increasing their output.of grain and it is evident that American
farmers cannot much longer compete to advantage with these countries in
growing cereals alone, hence the necessity of introducing other crops, the
growing of which may at least secure a fair return for labor. The culture of
tobacco not only brings good profit to the farmer but furnishes employment
to thousands of factory employees whose homes Ire here, and money paid to
them will also go to the farmer when his other products ar bought by them
for food.
1t is wise, then, to consider the adaptabiity Of our soil and climate, the
great and growing demand for American tobacco-a farm product of superior
quality enjoying strong protechon-our close proximity to factories and
markets, the large net returns accruing to the careful producer and the ne
cesdty of diversfying our agricultural interests and taking advantage of
every legitimate means to improve the condition of the producer. When all
is well with him the channels oft trade are deep, clear, strong and wide.
T We h consumers, actorIes n thu labor in abundance, and II
our farmers will grow the raw material for home factories the tobacco indus
try in Missouri will be worth millions of dollars annually to the people of this
grand old commonwealth.

THE NEW TARIFF.
Five Democrats and One Populist
Voted for the Dingley Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-The new
Dingley tariff bill was passed by the
House to-day by a vote of 205 to 122.
Every Republican member present,
including Speaker Reed, voted for it.
Five Democrats - Messrs. Meyer,
Broussard and Davey, of Louisiana,
and Kleberg and Slayden, of Texas,
also supported the bill because of the
protection it provides for sugar. One
Populist-Howard, of Alabama-join-
ed with the Republicans. Twenty-one
Populists, %fusionists and silverites re-
Trained from voting in order to en-
phasize their contention that the max
ing of a new tariff could not alone re-
store prosperity. Ali of the Demo-
Gratis but the five named voted against
the bill.
Except for the limited opportunity
afforded them to make speeches
against the measure, the Democratic
minority might az well have been abb
sent. They had no part in framing the
measure and no consideration was
shown the desires of the constituents
represented by them. The same is
true of many of the Republicans who
were not fortunate enough to be mem
beers of the Ways and Means Commit
tee. Many of these were anxious to
offer amendments to various parts Of
the bill, but were unable 20 do 30 be-
cause of the stringency of the rule and
the studied slowness with which the
reading of the bill progressed.
Chairman Dingley and his associates
in charge of the bill, knowing that the
Democrats we're prepared to attack
the sugar schedule, determined that
the fiftieth page, upon which that
schedule begins, should not be reach
ed.
The Democrats did, however, to-day
place the Republican party on record
indirectly as favoring trusts and COM
bines. They succeeded in getting a
yea and nay vote on Mr.. Dockery's
motion to recommit the bill to the
committee with instructions to amend
it by providing that there should be
placed on the free list all articles the
manufacture of which in this country
is controlled by trusts.
Against this proposition the Repub-
Leans voted solidly. Every Democrat
and all their silver and Populist allies
voted for MI. Dockery's motion with
one exception. That was Mr.. New
lanes, of Nevada, whose connection
with the silver trust was exposed by
the World during the last campaign.
He voted with the Republicans. The
motion was defeated by 1876 to 14s.
Just before the debate in committee
Of the whole was concluded the Re-
publicans Of the Ways and Means
Committee added to the bill an amend
ment which they knew would not be
accepted by the Senate and which
they are offering only as q "bluff'' to
prevent importers from entering into
contracts for the delivery of goods
prior to the date when the new tariff
actually becomes law.
