Bryan's Case Hopeless.

If these immense crowds which greet
Mr.. Bryan wherever he speaks mean that
he is likely to be nominated in 1900 they
indicate that Providence is going to stick
to the Republican party. Mr. Bryan is
an eloquent and picturesque man, but his
popularity does not grow on close ac-
quaintance. He will never be as strong
again as he was last year. Despite his
rawlings in 1896 that his defeat would
mean national bankruptcy and general
disaster, and his silly filings at the Repub-
lican party since the election, a majority
of the people probably think he is sincere,
but a majority of the people can never be
led to think he is the sort of man this
country needs for President--St. Louis
Glohe-D Democrat

by a reduction of So per annum on ms
clothing and 500 on his income! VI
what advantage to a farmer IS cheap
shoddy if he cannot sell his products eX-
cept at prices below cost?
A silly pretense and generally dlshon-
est one that should be everywhere expos
ed. is the contention that duties increase
invariably and permanently the prices OF
similar domestic production Ihls IS
neither the object nor effect of duties II
is to exclude excessive foreign competl-
ton and hold the home market for home
enterprise and home labor, both in indus
trial and in rural lines. And This is not
a theory: it is an accomplished fact. the
inevitable result of which is assured In
very brief period with our abundant cap
ital and superabundant labor, the latter
increased by 100000 to 100000 immi-
grants yearly who cannot be kept employ
ed while our food and clothing is made in
Europe and elsewhere. This is a PROPOSE
ton which is readily admitted by anyone
not an idiot. In this connection cannot
the farmer see how he is benefited by pro-
lection? The day has arrived when the
farmers must hold the home market or
stare ruin in the face Ten years increase
of our population requires half as much
wheat as we export and our expectation IS
threatened with decrease by Russia and
Argentina, with no prospect, scarcely
possibility of increase. We import half
as much food and drink all our agri-
cultural exports. and our entire consump-
ton already almost equals the enormous
farm production, much of our exports go
ing to offset the cost of our agricultural
imports. What folly, then, for farmers
to seek to destroy their own market by
free trade competition. 1t is not the dan
ger merely of imported farm products, but
of imported manufactures which make
labor idle, non-eonsumptive and paralysis
of all industries, and that of the farmer
with inevitable certainty. Even a blind
farmer ought to be able to see this point
distinctly in the record of four years of 8
| semi-free trade administration.

Member Ways and Means Commit
Hon, Robert p. Porter.

The tariff bill is now before the public
and it is easy to make comparison item
by item. of the proposed bill with the
present law and the Mckinley law The
opposition plan is to attack the new bill in
detail. as they did the Mckinley law and
make all the political capital out of these
attacks. 1t is we'll for Republicans to be
on guard against these misleading and in
sidious attacks They should recall the
fact most potent a. this time that the sec
tons of the Mckinley law which were
most bitterly assailed are the very sec
tions that subsequently proved of most
benefit to the American producer and the
American wage Garner.
The agricultural interests of the coun-
try have been we'll cared for, directly by
the increase of duties wherever necessary.
and indirectly by the provisions for recip-
rocity which are sure to increase our ex-
ports of agricultural products. Our free
trade friends have shown great anxiety
over this reciprocity feature of the new
bill. with sugar on the dutiable list,
what have we got to trade with % they in
nocentIy exclaim. The answer is: Lots

Wilson's Winning WAYS.

Secretary Wilson has adopted a most
effective way of disabusing the minds of
farmers, particularly in the West and
South, of the delusion that the coinage or
currency question is at the bottom of
their troubles. 1t will take time, of
course, to carry his project fully into eff
feet, but it marks decided step in rem
dering the Department of Agriculture one
of the most practical and useful branches
of the Federal Government. The public
will heartily sustain him in his efforts to
enable American farmers to better their
lot and to free themselves from the pesti-
lent influences of political mountebanks
and fakirs.-New York Commercial Ad-
yertiSer,
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1897-05-08

'sThe agricultural interests of the coun-
try are very comprehensive and include
subjects of vast extent and Importance
corn wheat, sugar, rice. tobacco. cotton,
fruits, horses, mules. cattle, sheep, wool,
ETC. are probably those that first strike
you. The farmer needs that demand
should be created and sustained for all
farm products at good prices Without an
active demand that is reasonably contlnu-
Gus and permanent in character agrlcul-
tural interests languish. If there is such
a demand they flourish, and that is pre-
ciseiy equivalent to prosperity for the
farmer. The tariff bill aims at two things
in this connection, namely, first, TO guard
our farmers and farm labor against the
lower wage conditions of other countries,
such as Mexico, Canada and many others
more remote, and, second. to so stimulate
the general industrial energies of the
whole country as to give all the people
work at fair compensation in one form or
another, and in that way to gain them
the power to buy what the farmers have
for sale, and a consequence to create
and sustain the demand of which L have
spoken. No class of our people are more
dependent than are the farmers upon the
successful operation of the doctrine of pro-
lection to home industries, for, if those
industries are prosperous the great labor
ing classes will have money. and will
Herewith buy freely and pay literally and
the laboring classes are out of employ
ment they cannot and do not buy what
the farmer must sell. The last four years
have demonstrated this, and it seems to
me that the people will not forget it.
Speaking generally, L may say that no
class of our people were more thought of
by the Republican members of the Ways
and Means Committee in preparing the
bill than were the farmers, and believe
the provisions of the bill will show this to
be fact. We tried to do what was need
full to re-create our sheep flocks and the
wool clips that would follow We espe-
cially endeavored to encourage the pro-
duction of sugar, feeling sure that our
| farmers could produce all we require if
| they would go to work at it. So with all
! the other great agricultural products 1
| have named. And in my judgment if the
| planters of the South will only address
| themselves to it there are other crops than
| those now raised there which can be cul-
| tivated with great profit-notably, for in
| stance, jute.

Assistant Secretary of Agricultul
Hon. George w. Steele.

Major Steele, Congressman from In
diana and a member of the Ways and
Means Committee, discussed various top
les of the pending bill, having looked care
fully into the features of the Wilson law
as compared with the Mckinley law, up
on which the Dingley bill is very generally
based. Especially with reference to live
stock he shows by his remarks in the Con
gressional Record that the decrease in
the values of horses, cattle and sheep in
Indiana alone have been enormous, in
some cases over 60 per cent In the case
of cattle and sheep this decrease in value
is directly attributable to the operation
of the Wilson law. Cattle were brought
into this country in great numbers from
Canada and Mexico. Mexican cattle We're
brought in across the border at a total
cost, including duty, slightly in excess of
IS per head, and were driven in great
droves eastward, to be finally fattened
in the great corn areas of the West and
then placed upon the Chicago and other
Western markets. By this method of
driving, the buyers of herds escaped the
necessity of winter feeding, and they were
thus brought into competition with the
cattle raised by our own farmers at a
cost of about $40 per head. Vast areas of
the grazing lands of the West are now
idle by reason of this competition. In
addition to this, infectious diseases af-
fecting cattle have been largely spread
among our own herds by these passing
droves. the Western cattle raiser never
knowing when his herd would become af-
| fected and depleted Continuing, Mr.
| Steele said that there has been an un-
doubted evasion of the law in the payment
| of duty and that great numbers of cattle
have been brought in without the payment
| of any tariff whatever.
! The farmers of the middle West. Mr.
Steele says. are well satisfied with the re
/ turn to 81 per ton duty on hay. This vii
| shut out the great quantity of Canada
hay which has been brought into ths
northern central section of the country By
reason of the short haul. selling in oul
markets there, while the hay of the farm
ers of this country rots in the stacks. H'

the President to reduce, if by so doing
Germany and France would make similar
reductions on commodities we sell to
them 1t is, therefore, to be hoped that
Congress will not nibble at reciprocity, but
give the country a strong measure, even
more far-reaching than the committee pro-
poses, that will give new markets for
our agricultural products in Europe and
our machinery and farm implements in
South America. We have been doing
very we'll in our exports of manufactures
during the last few years, but the gain in
that direction has not made up for the
loss in agricultural products. We have
plenty of articles to trade in the man
ner suggested, if Congress only shows the
courage of its convictions and invests the
President with the widest possible lati-
tude.
The proposed legislation to give rev
enue, increase our home production, give
employment to American labor and in
crease our influence in the worlds mar
kets is not going to glide through Con-
gress without opposition. The free trad
ers will put up a strong fight against it.
and they propose to make all the capital
possible out of it, even if there is no fac
tious opposition.

A VERSATILE AGRICULTURiST.
Secretary Wilson Looking Ont for
Various Farm Industries.

Various Farm Industries.
Secretary Wilson of the Department of
Agriculture, learning incidentally that
corn was being shipped from the United
States to Denmark to be fed to cows,
whose butter is marketed in London at
once conceived the idea that American
corn should be turned into butter by
American cows and marketed in London
by American farmers.
Upon inquiry at the Treasury Depart
ment Mr. Wilson learned that he had
power and authority to spend the Gov
ernment's money about as he saw fit. He
had a purpose in view in making the in
quiry, and at once issued orders to his as
sistants to buy several hundred pounds
of the best creamery butter made in Hi
nois, Iowa and one or two other States
This will be shipped to the Government $
animal industry agent in London, and
placed upon the market. The butter will
be sent in various packages, and the agent
will be instructed to report what the mar
ket wants in the way of package, color of
butter salt, flavor, etc. 1t is expected
that in this way a knowledge of the wants
of the English markets will be obtained,
to the end that the farmers of the United
States will soon be getting a fair share
of the English butter trade.
Secretary Wilson says scientific work Is
all right, but he wants scientific work
that has practical value. 1.-The trouble

cultural Department. he says, sis that
they work for the delectation of other sci
entists. for the approval of their fellows in

Currency Reform Not "shelved.r


The assertion which is made by some of
the sound money Democratic papers that
the Republicans have ''shelved'' monetary
reform is a little too precipitate. Presi-
dent Mckinley gave prominent place to
this subject in his inaugural address, and
suggested the appointment of a commits
sion to go over the whole question and re-
port a plan which would bring our diverse
and illogical financial system into approx
innate harmony with the requirements of
the time. A bill to carry out the Presi-
dents suggestion has been introduced in
the House.
1t would be unreasonable to blame the
Republicans for giving precedence to the
tariff question. A deficit of something
like S7O,00O.O00 a year in the revenues is
to be provided for, and this necessity is
far greater than that of reforming the
financial system, urgent the latter re-
quirement is. The condition of the cur
rency will not get worse, for the assault
on the nations monetary stability and SOL
vency made last year has been repealed,
and it cannot be repeated until three years
hence at the earliest. On the other hand,
the necessity for immediate action on the
question of the revenues is imperative
