Cnnnon.r Rountx Scheme.


Senator Cannon of Utah goes Senator
Bacon zone better on his proposition to
extend the principle Of protection to the
farmers. Senator Cannon recognizes the
utter impossibility Of benefting the farm
ers by levying ar import duty upon arti-
cles which they produce for export, and
concludes that the only way the farm
ers can be protected" is to give them a
bounty upon products which they export
He therefore proposes that bounties shall
be paid upon expectations of wheat corn
cotton and other farm products. The pro-
ducers of these commodities, he says. are
as much entitled to the bounty of the
government as the producers of cane su-
gar,
Cannon's scheme is really more attrac-
tive than the import duty upon export ar
ticles. How nice it would be to have
the government step in and pay ten cents
d bushel on wheat and one or two ceHts
a pound on cotton, so as to make raising
those articles profitable! The element of
risk IN planting crops would be set aside
to a considerable extent, would it not?
The great and good government would
come to the aid Of the struggling farmer
and say: GO right ahead, my dear son,
never mind the markets, or whether the
foreigners want your products or not, just
raise them anyhow, and 1 will pay a bonus
on all that you ship, and in that way those
of you who do not ship as well as those
who do will be benefited"
That is one way-the wrong way-to re-
gard the matter. We have only to look to
Germany for an example illustrating the
right way to view the paying Of bounties
on agricultural products. The German
government stimulated the cultivation of
beet sugar by paying a bounty. Now
that country raises more beets than
it knows what to do with, and our
own government is contemplating the pas
sage of a provision in the new tariff law
to levy a discriminating duty against Ger
man beet sugar. Notwithstanding the
bounty paid to beet sugar growers, the
price has gone downward, and now if the
bounty were 10 be Withdrawn or the Ger
mans were to lose a considerable market
for their production, the sugar growers
would be ruined. The industry has been
built up on fictitious basis.
The same sort of thing would occur in
this country A bounty upon agricultural
products would act as stimulant to the
industries affected to the extent that
within a very short time all OF the mar
kets would be glutted; then down would
go the prices, and the producers would
be on a worse footing than they are at
present. The consumers in Europe, who
are our customers, would secure the bene-
fits.
But where would the money come from
to pay the bounties. if the government
were to adopt the system? The present
revenues of the government would not be
sufficient to pay the pensions and the
bountes; where would the money for the
expenses of the government come from?
In place Of raising one billion dollars for
each congress to spend, we would have
to raise probably two billions. Could the
people stand another billion of taxes ev-
cry two years?

The FInrihn SeminnIen

The various schemes for redeeming the
Everglades of Florida, and the decision of
the federal government to cede those lands
to the state have brought prominently to
the front the question of what shall be
done with the Florida Seminoles, of whom
there are between 400 and 800 who have
been living upon government land and ac-
curing their subsistence through hunt
ing, fishing and farming in a small way.
Sometime ago the governor of Florida ap-
pointed board of trustees to look into
the question of a permanent reservation,
which board recently made its report.
The board, after some consideration. Sc
lected Long Key, an island in the Ever
slades, situated partly in Lee, Monroe and
Dade counties, which is described as con-
tanning some 5000 acres of land; also all
the marsh for a distance of two mics on
all sides of said key" The key, they saw
has variety of soils, is in easy commu-
nication with the mainland by the canoe
routes. and is high enough to make it
healthy. 1t has been very portinently
asked, however, in view of these advan-
tages OF Long Key. why it has never been
taken possession of by the white people
Being some distance from the mainland,
the board replies, that sit is not sufi-
GENTLY accessible to invite the white set
tier"
SO again the old question of the DISPOSE
ton OF the Indian is brought up. 1t
happens this time. however, that the au-
thorites are not dealing with the untam-
able Sioux warrior, or the shouting Com
manche marauder, but as the board of
trustees itself describes them with a
brave Independent and intelligent body
of men," who have steadily refused to
become the wards of the nation" and who
have refused in ali instances to accept gov
eminent supplies unless they were allowed
to pay for them. The board says they
are "honest and reliable" and that they
desire to be let alone and not molested by
the white people"
Various arguments are advanced for and
against the removal of the Indians. Being
such class Of people as the board de-
scribes, II may be asked. why modest them?

Senator Billy" Mason Of Illinois is said
TO be getting tired of the office chasing bus
mess. According to the Washington Post
he finds on the debit side of his ledger 10
visits to the white house. 100 personal in
terviews with the President, 10 talks with
Secretary Porter. 2,72S calls from constit-
uents, A57 expended for postage and cab
hire while on the credit side there APP
pears one little consulate in Germany. Now
the President is going 10 appoint Senator
Cullom's man marshal for the Southern
district OF Illinois, and Senator Mason will
again be left in the cold. No doubt the
fat and fussy little senator from Illinois
has come to the conclusion that this thing
called influence is not what It Is cracked
up 60 be.

a Live Mouse in a Gamecock's cra,v.

A Live Mouse in a GamecOck's Cra1v.
Il always knew that game roosters
were thoroughly up to date in everything
and always ready to fight anything,
whether it be a circular saw or a bald
headed eagle" said Chief Clerk Boone of
Assistant Manager Fay's office in the
Southern Pacific building, yesterday, ac-
cOrding to the New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat, but it was a revelation to me to
see a gamecock act the part of a rat ter
rier. 1 saw a black-breasted red a day
or two since wade into a covey of mice
that Or. MERCER had corralled for the
birds amusement, and inside of six min
utes the rooster had killed sixteen of the
rodents and had eaten eight of the covey.
The doctor says that bird has a particular
fondness for mice and never seems to get
enough.
Some time ago. after a diet of the mice,
the rooster grew sick. He lost his appe-
tite and seemed about to give up the
ghost and the doctor was greatly wor-
ried because of this fact. After treating
the fowl for a couple of days he chloro-
formed him and dissected his craw. To
his establishment he found three mice in
this portion OF the bird anatomy, one of
them still alive. The mouse had gotten
its tail into the small entrail leading to
the birds gizzard, and consequently had
put stop to the digestion of the rooster.
The mouse must have realized this and
that it was his sole chance of life, for
when the doctor attempted to withdraw
the tail the mouse set up an awful squeak
ing and feebly objected to the process. To
make the matter more in terest ting, the Riz-
card had gripped the end of the mouse
tail and would not let go.
Between the two, the rooster came very
near dying, but upon the mouse and tail
being removed and the craw sewed up
again the bird speedily recovered, but now
it runs from a mouse as if it were a bull
terrier"

Currency reform is not a difficult prob

crate plan to effect it. All that is essen
tial is to undo the folnes of 1852 and 1880
by the permanent retirement of the green
backs and the treasury notes, with such
amendments to our banking system as
will insure a currency that is safe. abund-
ant and elastic. The secretary's plan
covers three points, and the more the peo-
pie study 1t the more they will see its
complete adequacy to our needs.
