pOPTLTSTS AND PRICES.

There ore signs that another effort Is TO he
made to stir up farmers against the Republican
policy because prices OF some farm products are
low. The trelcss dcmagogue OF the West, who
IS Dcrhaps not worse than his Eastern brother,
has begun to tell the farmer that "McKlnlc! has
brought them ,Occnt wheat and J-cent cotton.

wheat In May and Scent cotton last August.
Most farmers have enough sense 10 know that
they can spoil their market for anything. ex-
actly as other producers can. by turning out too
much for the worlds needs. But there still
remain some no doubt. who are capable Of be
licving in the virtues Of Accent dollar. md
NAV therefore b. able TO believe that the sur
plus wheat and cotton were raised by Mckinley
personally.
There is something really pitiabe In the atti
tude Of some farmers toward such problems.
They seem to imagine that II Is somehow the
business Of Government to save them from
the consequences Of any mistake they may
make and to keep them from making mistakes.
II n man in any other business kills his own
market by turning out more Of my product
than Is wanted, and the consumers dis

can Of II, nobody thinks the man deserves sym

not receive any consideration from the business
world which was rather inclined to feel that
such mistaken judgment had done harm TO
many others. At every step in business re-
ward Is offered for good judgment and pen
atty comes for bad. Is it not equally right
that the farmer should take the risk and re-
sponsibility which his own acts may involve?
II the PopulIsts of the West had spent, in
forming such cooperative organizations that
