Nature has done for the farmers
this year what the farmers ought to
be able to do for themselves, that
is to lfnit the supply of farm pro-
ducts. If the farmers were as well
posted upon the amount of grain
needed for consumption as the spec
ulators are, and had systematic
and ironclad code of rules governing
to be placed on the market similar to
the coal trust, they could become the
aristocrats of the world before
whom capital and trusts would be
compelled to kneel in submissive
obedience.

Gentlemenly conduct and peaceful
means have so far marked the prog
ress of the coal strike. Persuasion
has been the munition of war of the
miners until the courts prohibited
free speech and the right to argue.
The protected coal trust now pro
poses to start the mines with new
men, and there is little doubt but
blood will be shed. This may be the
beginning of the Second Battle"

North Carolina is making a success
of the experiment of working convicts
on the public roads. Thus far it has
not been attended 10y complaints
from any quarter. The convicts are
said to be more easily managed than
they were while locked in close,
narrow cells, and huddled in mass
that generated disease and sickness.
Free labor has found no objec ion
to this utilization of convict labor
in North Carolina, for free labor
there, as in every other part of the
country, has an aversion to working
on the public roads, despite statu-
tory requirements and the attached
penalties. Missouri and other west
ern states which are always wrestling
with the problems of convict labor
and the Improvement of their sys-
TENS of public roads should learn
81 lesson from the North Carolina
experiment. Less than one hall of
the couvicts in the Missouri peni-
tertiary are afforded employment,
chiefly because, OF the objection of
free labor. and this proportion
probably holds true in the penal
institutions of other states OF the
west. This enforced idleness is not

| One of the most peculiar traits OF
farmers is their lack of confidence IN
each other, or rather their over
confidence in men of other profess
sions
Farmers often wonder why the laws
are not framed in their interests AS
we'll as those OF the capt. aiists, the
spectators, the manufacturers and
the corporations. For example,
they wonder why the property OF the
sugar trust advanced forty cents on
the dollar during the short session OF
Congress as a direct result of legsla-
ton, while their property advanced
not a penny in value. One OF the
great reasons for this is the fact that
their interests are never represented
in legislative halls by themselves.
When the far m ers of a dis
trict or state or of a county need q
legislator or senator they elect a
! representative of some other pro-
fession or trade instead of a farmer,
or do what is still worse, elect q
professional politician.
If they need a senator they elect
downright sharp, shrewd, smooth
lawyer and corporation attorney
worth half a million or SO; X they need
congressman they elect another
political lawyer" if they need a
senator or assem- blyman they elect
a banker or a doctor or anybody,
but never for once choose a straight
honest farmer from among their own
ranks to lock after their interests in
all these places OF trust. OF course,
there is no doubt but these men
are all honest capable individuals,
who sympathlze with the farmers,
and who would even lend a helping
hand to them in time OF need
doctors and lawyers do this occasion
ally; but farmers always seem to
think that professional men, capital
lists or especially lawyers, are
better fitted to represent their inter-
ests than they, themselves. This
may be true, but 1t is d custom never
followed by other classes, traders
and professionals. We noticed when
she bankers met few weeks ago
to devise ways OF reforming the
currency" the convention was COM
posed of bankers-nc farmers were
present. They did not go into the
rural districts TO find "sharp
farmer" to represent them in devising
schemes to remodel the currency
laws to their liking, but rather chose
those whose interests were Identical
with those of the Bankers Union. E"
When legislation is needed to carry
out their ideas of currency reform,
they will be amply represented IN
Congressman by farmers, but by
bankers and paid lobbyists of their
own choice. Thus every interest de-
ponds upon those whose interests
are identical for representation in
Congress and the state legislature,
except the farmers.
This is all wrong. The farming inter
ests should be amply AMI ably repre-
sented in our Legislative halls by
farmers, and by farmers is meant
men who make their living or
the greater part OF it from the farm.
There are enough of them in Pierce
County, honest and capable, who
could be depended upon to ably
represent the county and the farmers
interests in either state or federal
legislation and we beiieve their inter
ests never can or never will be adj
vanced properly so long as the right
to represent is delegated to others.

ize. A protective tariff aims, by the
neuteralizing of advantages possessed
by older competitors on account of ac-
cumulations of capital or cheap labor,
to turn industry and trade into its nat
ural channels. In short, protective
tariff is designed to secure the theo-
retical advantages of free trade. And
a customs barrier between two coun-
tries so similarly situated and colon
lied as the United States and Canada
cannot but retard trade and keep men
from following those pursuits which
would yield them the greatest return.
A tariff between Canada and the
United States is, therefore, as a pro-
tective measure, indefensible.-The

Improving Oh Fiction.

around the World in Eighty Days
was romancer's dream, only few
years ago. Around the world in thirty
days will shortly be fact.
The Trans Siberian railroad is the
key to the thirty-day problem, and the
road will be in operation, it is thought,
by 1900.
The best possible connections at
present will enable a traveller to go
around the world in seventy-one days.
The average time is about one-third
more. Perhaps the shortest cut would
be this: New York to Southampton;
Southampton to Brindisi; by the way
os Suez Canal, Red Sea, etc, to Yoko-
hama; Yokohama to San Francisco,
and thence over the American CONT
nent by rail-
The itinerary over the Trans-Siber-
ian route would be as follows New
York to Bremen, seven days; Bremen
to st. Petersburg, one and one-half
days; st. Petersburg to Vladivostok,
eight and one-half days; Vladiyostok to
San Francisco, nine days; San Fran
cisco to New York, four days; Total,
thirty days.
Siberia lives in the popular mind as
barren ana desolate region, yet it is
rich in possibilities. Coal and iron and
the more precious metals are found
there in abundance. The short sum-
mer is long enough to admit of good
wheat yield.
To develop this portion of its great
domain is one of the motives that spurs
Russia to the most gigantic railroad
feat of this century.
Nor does she mean that the new road
shall ever serve as a path to the in
vader. Other European tracks are
standard gage. The Siberian railroad
is several inches wider, and in case of
war no other nation will be able to
switch engines and cars onto the tracks
and thus convey troops to the interior.

1t has been announced that the Sal

from Weiser to Seven Devils with a
broad-gauge branch to Hades. 1t is
confidently asserted by the President
of the company, who is editor of the
Citizen and likewise by the General
manager, who has been over the pro-
jected line, and is also the editor of the
Citizen, as well as by the principal man
of Salubria, who is the editor of the
Citizen, that the road will be a bonanza
from start to finish. We are well &C
quainted with Tom Nelson, the editor
aforesaid, having clawed cold metal in
the same alley with him, and therefore
know that the line will be a success.
We are confidently informed that this
road will be first class in every respect;
broad guage, stone ballast, free from
dust and all modern improvements.
The conductors will all wear good
clothes, shave twice day, know all the
new stories, which they will rehearse
to the passengers, point out all uneX-
celled scenery along the line and make
themselves agreeable to the patrons of
the road. The brakemen will be care
fully selected and courteous gentlemen
and will call out the names of the sta
lions in beautifully modulated tenor
voice. They will pack the hot boxes on
the coach trucks with pink jewelers.
cotton and Rose oil aud every 30 or 60
miles gentleman will come through
the train with white duck listers which
he will furnish passengers to protect
their clothes, and inquire if they have
money enough and if they are short
will give them some. At all principal
stations the President and General
manager will telegraph to the passen-
gers to know if they are enjoying the
ride, while at suitable hours a fine free
lunch will be served with bottle on
the side. There is nothing small or
narrow about this line and it is bound
to be popular.-Bellvue Leader.
