GA FARMERS TARIFF"

An exchange says that the purpose
of the tariff makers to provide dis
tinctly protective measure is more ap-
parent in the agricultural schedule of
the new tariff bill than in any other.
1t says that this particular schedule
is regarded by many as the most i'm
portant feature of the proposed new
tariff, as it affects the greatest of
all the industries of the country. OF
this there is no question, and it is the
very industry of all others that has
least to gain from any protective du-
ties. Our great surplus of products in
this country is agricultural, and they
have to seek a foreign market. Moth
ing is more absurd than to say that
foreign agricultural products will in
wade our markets. They cannot do
it, because they have to come in COM
petition with the products of the coun-
try which produces a surplus that
goes into the markets of the world in
competition with similar products from
everywhere
This exchange says that having
suffered the most heavily from the
Wilson tariff law, the farmer will re-
ceive more benefit from the tariff leg
islation of 1897 than any other pro-
Queer" 1t is possible that he may
receive more benefit in the schedule,
but the benefit will all remain in the
schedule and never materialize in the
profits.
AS the condition of the farmer has
been growing worse and worse from
year to year for more than two dec
AIDES, and during that time there have
been several tariff laws, with an ever
increasing rate until the climax was
reached in the Mckinley law. is it not
proper to look for some other cause
for the decline of the agricultural in
dustry? On the Sd of November last
more than six million American citi-
zens declared that they believed the
cause of the depression in the agri-
cultural pursuits and in other pur-
suits was the characterization of silver
in 1873. They still so believe; time
will prove that they are right

REFORM IN CUBA.

Spain promises a large measure of
reform in Cuba. so large, according to
Senior Dupuy de Lone, the Spanish
ambassador at Washington, that only
Canada and New South Wales among
colonies will have more liberty.
The preamble to this proposed re-
form states that the war, with all its
errors, has been rich in severe lessons.
OF this there is no doubt, and perhaps
Spain may profit by them, while Cuba,
if she does not achieve her indie
pendence, may benefit by them.
Very much indeed is promised by this
measure of reform, but how much of
the promise will be carried out no one
can say. Whatever is carried out will
be the result of absolute necessity and
nothing else. Spain is as 10th to insti-
tute and carry out reform as Turkey
herself. Even if she is sincere at the
present time, it is by no means GER
tain that she can pacify, or rather SUBJ
due, Cuba, so as to give her new scheme
a trial. The island has never before
put forth such tremendous efforts in
behalf of liberty as during the pres
ent rebellion; never before has Spain
been called upon to make such en-
deavors to suppress an insurrec-
ton or rebellion as during the
past year and a half. And she
has made but little Roadway. The
Cubans feel that independence is now
within their grasp. They have achieved
far greater successes than in former
rebellions, and in face of the fact that
Spain has exerted herself to subdue
them as never before. 1t is certain
that they will not voluntarily accept
any proposition from Spain, no matter
how great a degree of autonomy it
may guarantee them, short of absolute
independence. All that Spain proposes
to do has been forced from her at the
point of the bayonet. so to speak. 1t is
not enough, for now the Cubans de-
mand everything. 1t is not unlikely
that Spain will lose Cuba before the
present struggle is over. If she does,
her other possessions on this continent
will soon pass from her. And then the
severance from the new world she dis
covered will be complete. How she has
wasted and alienated the greatest
colonial possessions any nation ever
had
