Export of Corn.

Corn is about to become one of the food
staples of Europe. In 1892, we exported
15,451, $40 bushels of corn and 2S1, 500
barrels of corn meal. In the last year We
exported 116, 919,36 bushels of corn and
4I5, 263 barrels of corn meal.
As all are aware, Europe formerly had
an intense prejudice against American
corn, regarding ii as unfit for human food
This prejudice was largely allayed by a
commission sent to Europe during Harri-
sons administration for the purpose of
Introducing corn q food. This commits
sion gave lectures about corn, demon
stratiRg it's useA lneSs as a food by prac-
teal inserucIio-. III cooking. AS result
of the work OF ihis commission, a largely
Increased demaffl for corn was created.
The business depression abroad, and the
food shortage in many countries, has caus-
ed corn as q cheap food staple to estab
Iish itself firmly as permanent food.
There will be an increasing foceign de-
mand for it from now on, and the Ameri-
can overproduction will each year find
more of sale awaiting for it in European
markets. This means a better price for
the farmer. The commission, discontiR-
ued during Cleveland's administra ton,
should be re-esta blished in tine interest
of the American farmer--ERchange.

Keeping Wealth Distributed.

Out in the Southwest, in one of the
new settlements, the citizens resolved to
talae time by the forelcck and avoid many
eff the heart-burnings that are common
further east regarding the distribution
of wealth A citizen of that locality Wis
iting the East was asked regarding the
practical workings of this new theory IN
this community. He was questioned as
to how they were getting along in MAIN
tanning a reasonably fair average in the
acquisition of wealth. He replied that
they were getting along first rate. Don't
you find some of your people more enter
prising than others, have a better busi-
ness capacity, and acquire more wealth
than others? Yes, we find that out there.
Don't you also discover that some of your
people get up earlier in the morning than
others, do more work than others, and so
produce more? Yes, we find that there
too. Then how i'm the world do you man
age to keep things ON the dead level with
regard to the acquisition of property
Why, it is the simplest thing in the world.
When we find a fellow getting ahead of
the rest decidedly, appoint a good
sized committee which will be able to
meet the occasion, and send them out
there to live with him until they eat him
back.-From address of Secretary Wilson
at Middlefeld, O. Oct. II, 1897.
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1897-12-11
What Caused the Change.

What does high-priced cattle and hogs
mean? Simply that more people east of
the Missouri river are eating meat. Why!
Because they are earning wages. They
are at work. The people who We're idle
under the Wilson tariff of the Popocrats
are employed. The people who We're
ting higher wages. What caused the
change? Faith of business men, capital
lists, employers of labor and money, in
the Republican party and its well-tried
tariff policy.
The tariff nothing to do with it: 1t
has everything to do with it. Canadian
eggs and chickens are shut out on the
north and Mexican cattle on the south.
The American market for the American
farmer, is the Republican principle, and
it Is working, as it always has worked,
for the welfare of the nation. Pauper
labor is shut out. Pauper made goods
are shut out. The American market is
reserved for the American laboring man
and the American farmer, and both are
realizing the benefits of this patriotic
business-like policy, tested and vindicated
by American history for more than fifty
years
The Kansas farmer gives away cattle
hogs, corn, wheat, hay, eggs, butter and
milk in every vote he gives for Organism
Populism or fusion. 1t is bad business
No levelheaded farmer will permit the
calamity orators for free silver and flee
trade to deceive him again and induce
him by specious but false promises to vote
away his own property and prosperity

We Can Produce Our own Sugar.

Secretary Wilson, the head of the De
partment of Agriculture, continues his
practical work in pointing out to the farm
ers of the United States the Importance
of supplying from their own production
the $500, O00, 600 worth of articles for
which we send this amount of money
abroad every year One hundred million
of this is for sugar and the remainder for
hides, fruits, wines, animals, rice, flax,
cheese, grains of various sorts and other
articles which can be produced by the
farmers of this country. His annual re-
port, which has just been presented to
the President, states that his experiments
thus far with the sugar beet convince him
that the people of the United States can
readily produce all their own sugar,
while nearly all of the other articles of
agricultural production can also be grown
by them.

Practical and Prudent Protection

In our manufactures We start with the
advantage of having our raw material
ready at hand, while England must go
thousands of miles for every cotton ball
she spins. We can produce all the wool,
cotton, woods and metals required for. any
and every variety of manufacture. 1t is,
therefore, clear that with these three nat
ural advantages of food, fuel and raw
material in available abundance, we only
need favorable conditions of enterprise
and competition to attain and maintain
absolute supremacy in every line of hg-
man industry. These conditions can only
be provided by the system of protection.
This proposition requires no argument.
1t has been amply demonstrated by .expe-
rience.
We require for continuous and increas-
ing prosperity, not so much any RaEticu-
lar tariff schedules, as the general, VITAL
conserving principle of protection, prac-
tically applied and prudently adjusted to
the industries and interests of all sec
lions and classes.-Wool Record.
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1897-12-11
1t Is Coming Along All Right.

Intelligent people understand that, as
far as the new tariff is concerned. it is
too early to forecast definitely what it
will accomplish. 1t is true that it does not
furnish sufficient revenue yet, but with
the enormous anticipat tory importations
made while the Dingley bill was pending
this was not to be expected Moreover,
1t requires time for industry and trade to
adjust themselves to the new conditions
created by that enactment, process that
has been made doubly difficult on account
of the devastating gale through which
they have passed since the last Inaugural
ton of Mr.. Cleveland. Before long peo-
pie will be able to pass judgment inteIli-
gently on the tariff. and, unless all signs
are amiss, experience will amply vindi-
cate the wisdom and expediency of that
measure.-New York Commercial Adver-
tiser
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1897-12-11
More Democratic Tariff Buster.

The wall of the free traders over the
supposed increase in prices under the pro-
tective tariff Is not fully justified by tho
facts. A recent investigation by the New
York Tribune shows that the advance in
the price of articles imported, basing the
estimate on the net change in some thou
sands of articles, is less than 1 per cent.
The Tribune finds in the same investiga-
ton that there is a marked increase in
the prices of farm products generally.
When the increase in earnings of those
employed in the manufacturing lines and
the increased profits which those engaged
In agriculture make, are considered, it is
easy to see that the slight increase in
prices of the class of goods affected by the
tariff is far more than balanced by the
gain in earnings of those employed in
producing and manufacturing.

Gradually Dropping 1t.

The friends of silver are becoming fewer
and fewer. Senator Stewart has told the
people that they may as well fall in line
and get their share of prosperity, as it is
useless to talk silver now; ex-Gov. Alt
geld has dropped silver, and is said to be
organizing a paper money party, and ex-
Gov. Boies has denounced the 10 to /
proposition as suicidal, In view of the
great discrepancy between the coinage
ratio and the commercial ratio of silver.
Nanx other Democrats, being greenback-
ers ct heart, have advocated free silver
as simply stepping stone to true fiatism,
and now that free silver is becoming so
unpopular, they are gradually dropping it.
