able benefit to our city and would mean
Il universe of comfort and convenience

of recent years become a national
problem. Its necessity Is being dem
onstrated upon the present improve

cesses are necessarily very slow.

EDDY ON PROSPERITY.

Congressman Eddy, in an interview
with the Moorhead Independent, said ::
1.-THE conditions will continue to
improve for the effect of tariff legisla-
ton will be to open up many new in
dustries and to increase the output of
those already established. Thus en-
ployment will be given to thousands
OF men who are now idle and they will
become consumers of the products of
the agricultural districts. In this way
the farmers will reap the indirect ben
ett of the protective tariff besides the
direct benefit on the products which
are produced in competition with 9TH
or countries. It is a noticeable fact
that the prices of all agricultural
products, with the single exception of
corn, are from 10 to 20 per cent high
,er than they were year ago. If these
conditions continue the Northwest
will soon enter upon one of the most
prosperous periods in its nistof:;;;: Az
other thing that should not be lost
sight of is that the consumption of
wheat, per capita, has fallen off dur
ing the past five years. If the same
rate of consumption existed today
that prevailed during the last two
years Of Harrison's administration
there would not be bushel of wheat
for export. When the laboring men all
get to work the prices for farm prod
ucts will be as high as they now prom
Use to be. This is what we all hope
and believe will be the result of the
change in our tariff laws and this be-
lief is supported by the present indi-
catiOns,''
