How the Old Thing Works.

Already the quiet meetings are being
held and a nice little combination is
being formed to down Heflner for
Clerk of the Court. a well-known
farmer was late at his work few days
ago, and when called to account, his
reply was, well, now, could not help
it, | did not get away from jacks of
flee until after midnight, and the boys
are going to put up a job on that fell
low Heffner. You see, we have quoted
the Umer crowd; he was the only man
we feared. Now, we have things our
own way, and will run the convention
to suit ourselves. We propose to show
Wellington that he can't boss Freder-
lex County; we will try to elect del
egate ticket pledged in advance against
Wellington and Lowndes, or any one
they favor. If Montgomery does not
give too big a maioriay, Jack is sure to
win. We know he will get lots of
cuts here, and some of the boys fear he
will not be able to get over four hun,
dred majority in this county, so, you
see, if the Democrats nominate good
man for judge they will make us
hustle" So the boys talk, who stay

AS a Raiser of Revenue.
The Philadelphia Record says:

The Philadelphia Record says:
While Protectionists generally pro-
fess to believe that the Dingley tariff
will aid manufacturers and result in
increased business activity, many of
them are of the opinion that it will not
prove successful as a revenue raiser. In
fact, both Mr.. Dingley and Mr.. Aid
rich may be counted among those who
practically admit that deficiency is
likely to occur under the new law. Mr..
Dingley said in his speech in the
House Just before vote was taken on
the bill that the receipts from the tariff
in the first year would be about Sl75,-
100000. This would cause deficit
fully as large as that Of this year,
though Mr.. Dingley predicted better
results after the first year. Mr.. AID
rich, in laying the bill before the Sen.
ate, said that in order to have sufficient
revenue il would be necessary to raise
$50 225, 600 from new duties, for which
it was proposed to levy taxes upon
beer and tea. As both of these items
We're struck out of the bill, and moth
ing put in to make up the duty ex-
pected from them, Mr. Aldrich may
also be regarded as one who antici-
pateS a deficit.
The receipts at the New York Gus
tom House on the first two days after
the Mckinley law went into effect
were 81, 25s, 5s0.s3. In the same time
under the Wilson law the receipts were
81, 307, 1924, while on the two days
after the Dingley law went into effect
they were but S4SO,Ss9.sl. These fig
ures may not be significant, yet they
tend to cause a feeling of uneasiness
among the friends of the new law.

On Wednesday the grain dealers and
shippers paid 81 cents per bushel for
August wheat. This is the highest
price wheat has brought, when the
farmers had a supply on hand suffi-
cient to realize on the advantageous
turn of the market, for many years.
Last year wheat went up, but thespec-
ulators had it all and the farmer
looked wistfully on whilst he made the
profit. They had sold their wheat to
pay current indebtedness and back OBJ
legations and even at favorable times
could not have held on to it, But, now,
just after harvest, wheat goes sailing
up to points beyond expectation and
the threshing machines in this county
are busy getting out the golden grain
to be turned into golden or silver shecl1-
les. Our farmers get within a few
cents of the ruling price in Baltimore,
and can always dispose of their pro-
duct. The great increase in the de-
mand for wheat at a time when our
crops are heaviest comes rather as a
surprise to the general public, but it
was expected by those in close touch
with the condition of the wheat crop
in all parts of the world. Foreign de-
mand is what has sent the price of
wheat booming upwards and the only
danger is that under the excitement of
the moment our necessary supply will
be seriously encroached upon. Statis-
tics show that this country has about
100000 of bushels of wheat to spare
our foreign neighbors, whose crops are
either failure or else not sufficient to
feed the the hungry and provide
source ofneXt years supply at the same
time. Hence they call on us and we,
from our immense stock in hand gen.
orally, for a consideration in proper
ton to the imperiousness of the de-
mand, spare them portion. All this
is beneficial to the farmer, and in turn
to all who have dealings with them.
When the farmer is prosperous the
community in general feels the effect
in all branches of trade which extends
to the furthermost limits of the land.
This is what real prosperity means, and
not governmental paternalism and IA
vor of any special industry, trust or
combination. If the farmers could
bind together for mutual protection
and advancement in all matters that
directly interest them, they would bet
ter offset the action Of the stock jobbers
and wheat cornerers, who look for
large profits from products raised on
the farm and which the grower sells
at prices slightly above the cost of pro-
duction, it would be very advantage
