THE FARNIEE AND PROTECTION"
As the ST. Louis Republic points out
it is mistake 90 say that the farmers
Of the country had no hearing before
the ways and means committee when
the Dingley tariff bill was under con-
sideration in that body Mr. DAVID
Lubin and delegation Of grange pres
idents represented the proJectionist
farmers in a plea for the equalization
of protection between manufactures
and agricultural products by the pay
meut Of bounty on the latter to offset
the tarif duty on the former
Mr.. Lubin is regarded by the tarlH
barons and their political champions as
an Unmiugated pest. His proposition
that as lOlg as tariff protection Is ac-
corded American manufactures justice
demands the payment Of corresponding
bcunties on the exports OF American
agricultural staples thorn in the
side of all the Drotec;ionists. Mr..
Lubin put his proposition TO Mr.. Ding
ley and thanked II with uhans"eIao.e
facts and arguments.
1t was shown that. while the Ameri-
can agricultur.s's sell a surplus abroad,
the price Of agricultural staples at home
must De the worlds price, and that
therefore tariff protection is futile for
the American agriculturists As
corollary, it was shown that whatever
enhancement of the prices OF agricuI-
tural staples there may be from the
stimulation Oh manufactures enhances
the wG,s, - price. stimulates the pro-
ductiOn of agricultural staples IN ne"
countries where land and labor are

turists. Tt was shown further that the
protected American manufacturers sell
improved farm machinery at cheap
prices where land and labor are cheap
thus adding fresh competition OF the
deadening sort to American agrcuI-
ture.
American agrlculturists' therefore
cannot be protected by tarlH duties

THE OHIO ELECTION.

The same political prophets who last
year elected Mr.. Bryan before the votes
we're cast, aye now defeating the Repub-
licans in the Ohio state election. One of
these soothsayer the St. Louis Republic,
says:
"And the most encouraging reports are
coming out of Ohio. The consensus of
opinion among experienced and con
servative newspaper correspondents is
that Hanna will surely be defeated, and
that the Democratic state ticket, headed
by Horace l.. Chapman for governor, is
making astonishing progress as the cam
paign nears it's CLOSE"
Perhaps the farmers, wool growers,
manufacturers, and businessmen have
forgotten the lessons learned IN the years
of 1892 to 1896, 30 soon, but it is hardly
probable. Senator Hanna represents the
principles of the Republican party that
have again brough prosperity to Ohio,
and he will not likely be turned down for
some man who will eudeavor to reverse
that policy.
However, the election takes place on
Tuesday, and then the exact state of af-
fairs politically in Ohio will be known.

American Cotton Crnn.

sept, cotton picking began in Texas
and the most southerly states If the
weather continues favorable, it will
last till Dec. /, as the later part of the
crop will keep on maturing for con-
siderable time yet.
The power and resources of this re-
public are shown in no way more strik-
ingly than by our cotton production.
The total of the worlds crop for 1897
will probably be 13, 100000 bales. OF
this the United States will produce, it
is expected from present indications,
5000, 600 bales. The ground planted in
cotton for 1897 in the Union is about
80, 900, 600 acres Nearly one third Of
this acreage is in Texas.
The United States will consume
at home 800, 600 bales of cotton. Eu-
rope and the rest of the world will
need altogether about $500, 600 bales,
That will make, with our home consump-
ton, 500, 900 more bales than the whole
cotton crop of America. This great sta
pie is therefore likely to bring good
price the present season, which will
make general trade in the cotton states
brisk and prosperous. In Texas, where
cotton can be raised more cheaply than
anywhere else, owing to great fertility
of the soil, the planter can make a
slight profit if his product brings 5
cents pound, but that is the lowest
limit. In the older cotton states, where
the soil is poorer, 5 cents a pound will
not pay for the expense and trouble Of
raising. But this year it is hoped in
the cotton states that the planters them
selves will receive as much as 7 cents
pound. That would make the price 8
cents in the northern markets.
In America we not only raise the
most cotton, but the best. Our sea is,
land variety, with it's long, silky fiber,
is not equaled by cotton grown any
where else, though that of Egypt comes
nearest it. Sea island cotton is worth
nearly three times as much as other
kinds

HOME INDUSTRIES.

"Pstronize home industries" In these
few words ia contained mighty lesson
1t should be needed by the citizens OF
this city and territory. The proper ap-
piication of this doctrine, be it in city,
in a county, in a state or in a nation, will
surely bring forth prosperity, content,
ment and wealth.
Why sheuld New Mexico export many
millions of pounds of wool per year and
bring back blankets, wooden undercloth-
ing and other wooden fabrics? Why
should New Mexico export beef and sheep
and bring back canned beef and fatted
slaughtered beef and muttons? Why pay

penses and profits of lot of middlemen?

The estate of George M. Pullman, which

The estate of George M. Pullman, which
was expected to reach sum over $780,
100000, foots up about $7,0O0,0O0. His
two sons, as the testator says in his will,
not being of such character as to be
entrusted with the management of large
fortune, are cut off with a yearly income
of $4,000 each. The two daughters of the
deceased receive the lions share of the
estate. Ia his last will, as we'll as
throughout his entire life, Pullman ex-
hibits the same traits of carefulness and
great business ability, also public spirit
and appreciation of the condition of the
times and the demands of the present
age. Oae hundred and thirty thousand
dollars are left to Chicago benevolent
institutions and $1,2O0,OOO are set aside
for endowment of a manual training
school in the town of Pullman. The ca
reer of the deceased is certainly a striking
illustration of the chances to get up in the
world the average businessman enjoys,
if he is shrewd, saving and energetic,

POTTER MERtS BARBER,
He Was Put Out, but Had Some Fun With
the ChicagOan.


Chicago chappiedom has one star story
about Potter Palmer that it always tells
with great gusto. 1t seems that some
years ago, when Potter Palmer's Chicago
hotel was booming and Potter himself
was not so much concerned about the do
Engs Of the Four Hundred as he is today,
the barber shop of that hostelry was run
by man named Eden.
Now, Eden wash t bit slow, although
his education had been acquired among
razors and shears and shaving mugs. He
knew good thing when he saw it, and
he pushed along the Palmer House barber
shop until it yielded him an income that
attracted the attention of his landlord
Potter Palmer is as quick to recognize
gain as any man, barber or otherwise and
it wasn't long before he had out his pad
and pencil and was figuring up the prob
able profits of the Palmer House barber
shop under the management of Eden.
The result was that at the expiration of
the barbers lease the latter was informed
that Mr.. Palmer had concluded to run the
shop as an integral part of the hotel equip
ment
Eden was disconsolate for time He
tried to make Palmer understand that it
was mira dig for so great man to CON
duct a barber shop, but it was useless.
The more he argued the more convinced
was Palmer that his barber shop was in
deed real good thing.
Finally Eden gave up in despair and
drifted to Kansas City, where, oddly
enough, he started hotel, the Midland
and made a success of it.
One day when he was enjoying the sem
sation of riding on the crest of tidal
wave Of prosperity it occurred to him that
he ought to advise his old friend, Potter
Palmer, of the change in his fortunes. So
he sat down and wrote this note:
My DEAR Mr. PALMER-When you were
hotel proprietor and 1 was barber, I rented
shop from you. Now that am hotel propri
etor and you are barber would like to have
you rent shop from me- The Midland barber
shop is first class in every particular, and you
may have a long lease at reasonable terms.
Yours truly, W. s. EDEN.

STATISTICS and governmental reports
show that the standard of wages for
skilled labor throughout the globe is
about as follows: In the United States,
$3.50 day; in England, $1.25 day; in
France, 81 per day; in Germany, rs cents
per day; in Russia, so cents per day, and
In Japan, 2b cents per day. The men who
perform the skilled labor of this coun-
try may think they are badly of, but in
all truth they are better off than artisans
are anywhere else ON this earth. At the
same time, the more and better they are
protected against the cheap pauper labor
