The Dingley bill attempts to restore
the old fiction that protective tariff Oh
agricultural products is of benefit to the
American farmer. 1t places tax of 30c'
per bushel on barley, l5c. on corn, 15c. on
oats, Zoe. on rye, 25c. on wheat, 25c. on
flour, and &c. per pound on butter. The
expectation of these products from this
country for the fiscal year 1896 were S139-
923 632; the importat1ons 81 1871 ,553, But
the American farmer was to be benefited
by keeping out this scrubby importation,
the value of which is less than two mil.
lion dollars, while the expectations are
very nearly one-hundred forty millions,
or over 70 times as much as the importa.
tons. But this is protection for the
farmer His foreign market is to be en-
dangered by protection but that sum Of
two million dollars will be his because lie
will be relieved of foreign competitor.
| Is 1t not strange that farmers do not
see through this transparent humbug
1t has been suggested to Mckinley that
instead OF tariff on agricultural prod,
ucts bounty be paid farmers on their
exports. Here would be direct and GER
tain benefit and proportional to the skill
and industry of the agricultural classes.
1t would encourage exports and be eft
the public by assisting in putting the
balance of trade IN our favor. But the
Dlngley bill contains no such provlsi ion
The farmer is relieved of all fear of com
petition which never had existence and
never will have, as this is tie grea ties,

NEVER yet was public act done to ac
compllsh certain end which could we'll
have been left undone rather than accom-.
pllshei by means repugnant to existing or.
der, than there was not some evil left in its
tram. Nevada was admitted as state to
accomplish certain object. That rotten
borough Is now menacs in the councils
OF the nation. Other states have been
admitted solely for the effect they NAV
have on the presidential electoral college
and like chickens, the curse has come
home to roost.
What Is known as PRACTICAL politics is
practical dishonesty and We have had too
much Of it. During slave times slavery
was the dominating factor in the admin.
lstration of affairs, but the conflict there
by was only delayed to be more destruc
i've when it did break cut, Honesty and
reference to the public welfare would
not be bad features of practical politics
and would rid 1t o. all heritage of evil.
Party success Is purchased at great cost
when 1t debauches public sentiment. The
prostitution of tie supreme court to par
tisan purposes when Hayes was seated, is
the parent Of attacks on the supreme
court to-day and which will eventually
result IN its disruption.

HERE is sample of the nonsense
published by the republican press
which makes it Necessary for the re
publican party to restore prosperity
within "a hours so as to keep faith
with the people. 1t is from the Su
perior Leader and is advice given TO
democrats. The only cause for sur
prise is that the item is clipped from
the columns of the Green Bay Ga
zette which certainly has sense enough
to know better. Isn't the following q
bright paragraph in view of the situa-
