THE FARMERS AND PROSPERITY
Some Sensible Suggestions, Even II

Some Sensible Suggestions, Even II
They 10 Come from the Enst.
The common cry from the various DEM
ocrats floating around In cold and muddy
water since the flood of November, that
may be placed in language easily compre-
hended, Is as follows:
"Look here, you fellows have promised
the country good times, general prosper
ity all that sort Of thing, plenty of good
money, IL Mckinley should be elected:
now, where Is the money to come from
and how do you expect to get your good
times? There are just about five million
farmers watching you, and If you cannot
do something for them. you are gone.
Can't you see it already"
In this connection it is customary to ask
the questions, what is it precisely tho
farmers desire and expect? What would
satisfy them? You warn us that they are
revolutionists except on condtions-de-
fine the conditions"
And the answer Is that the farmers
have not been making anything and they
want more money, and mean to have 1t
from one party IL not from another. If
the Republicans do not give them aid, the
farmers will turn the whole Government
over to the Populist Democratic party,
and that is just what is in the wind nowi
As for the farmers of America, they
will have to remember that they have not

why Business Moves Slowly.

The bad effect of the election of Grover
Cleveland and the free trade Congress
was felt in single month after the cleo
ton because the merchants stopped or
dering from the home manufacturers In
the expectation of getting cheap goods
from abroad under low tariff. The good
effect of the election Of Mckinley and
the protection Congress cannot be felt as
promptly as was the bad effect of the cleo
tion of Cleveland, because those same
merchants are still buying goods abroad
in enormous quantities, and will proba7
bly have years supply in hand before
the new law gets into effect. This ac-
counts for the delay in activity among
our manufacturers and for the delay in
the business revival which will surely
follow the resumption of business by
them.

The Farmer and the senate.

The farmer is likely to he well taken
care of by that dignified body. the United
Stntes Senate. The tariff bill. reported
from the Finance Committee of that body.
has added a duty Of ~ cents per pound
on hides. increased the rate on wool or the
third class. and cut out the clause IN the
House bill which exempted Hawaiian
sugar from duties. thus reducing that
competition with beet sugar. The duty
nut ON hides. tea and other articles which
we're formerly on the free list will i'm
prove the opportunities for advantageous
reciprocity treaties for which the Senate
will provide, and which will greatly bene-
fit the farmer. 1t is believed the House
rates on woods of the first and second class
will be restored by the Senate or confer

RECALLS CLEvELANo'S RECORD
Ex- President Is Reminded Of HE Own
Partv's Delay In Tariff Legislation.


Somebody with good memory has TAX
en- occasi to remind ex-Presdent Cleve-
land and the public who read his scold at
the Republican party because of it's
promptness In carrying out its pledges
with reference to tariff legislation, of the
terrible experience of the people Of the
United States during the eighteen months
In which his own party delayed its tariff
LEGISLATION. This reminder was brought
forth by Mr.. Cleveland's New York
.speech. in which he criticised the Republic
can leaders for their "hot haste" In TAX
ing up tariff legislation. The eighteen
months which elapsed between Mr.. Cleve-
lands Inauguration in 1903 and the enact
ment of his free trade tariff law included
more than 10000 failures, with liabilities
ogeregating more than 500 million dollars;
the closing down Of over 800 banks; the
appointment of receivers for about forty
railroads, whose Indebtedness amounted
IN n billion and half dollars, and strikes
and lockouts costing the workingmen en-
gagged AS million dollars in wages lost.
The total record Of the eighteen months
includes strikes in New York and Michi-
gon in March. 1893; strikes in Chicago
IN April: strikes and bank failures in I'LL
no;s and Ohio in May; runs on savings
hanks in Western States In June: suspen-
.ion of work in mines and numerous bank
failures throughout the West in July: fail
ures in New York and Chicago and small
or cities, followed by riots in New York,
Kansas and elsewhere, In August; strike
on the "Big Four" and consequent riots
In September; railroad strike In Alabama
and necessity Of troops to suppress 1t in
October; strikes on the Lehgh Valley
road and In Connecticut factories In No

cion In December; strikes In New Jersey.

riots, In January: strikes In New York.

C,cvcIand's Little Joke.

Nobody ever before suspected Mr..
cleveland of being humorist. Upon no
other theory. however. is 1t possible to ex-
plain his assertion made in his New York
speech the other night, that his party
defends the humble toier against oppres-
sive exactions In his home and invites him
TO the utmost enjoyment of the fruits of
industry, economy and thrift" The ex-
perience of the 'humble toiler" since Mr..
Cleveland came to Office four years ago
will hardly enable him to agree with that
gentleman In this statement.

viii Pounds, young white boy, and
Cal Cory, negro. were arraigned for
breaking into the Oakman postoffice.
They had been jointly indicted, but
Pounds entered a plea of guilty and a
severance being granted Cory, his case
was set for trial on Saturday, March 2S.
The case against Hheadore Hoffman
was dismissed 1t was charged that he
changed the figures on witnesses' GER
tificates and thus presenting false ac-
counts to the government.
Thomas Griffin entered a plea of guilty
for illicit distilling and was fined 500

At 8 o'clock the court resumed the trial
of L. L. Melton, L. r. and j. 3. Price for
using the mails in scheme to defraud.
This case occupied the greater part of

thing this week. A large number of
witnesses are yet to be examined and
several attorneys will then make exhaus-
tive arguments.
