FARMERS AND THE PROSPERITY
FAKIRS

A Republican organ remarks that
farmers will vote with prosperity's
party" whatever of prosperity we have
being due, in the organs estimation, to
the Republican party.
We have every reason to believe,
however, that the farmer will not be
caught by any such cnaff. We don't
believe the farmers can be persuaded
that whatever of prosperity they have
is due to politics rather than the wea-
Their
The very organs which are giving
vent to this nonsense have printed the
the statement based on official reports,
that agricultural exports for the fiscal
year ending with this month will be
considerably in excess of $500, 900, 900.
the total for tie year being likely 10
reach $685., 000,0 600. Never before have
/, the exports of agricultural products
reached the sS0O,oOO,OOO line and never
but twice have they been as much as
$500 900, 000"-in 1881 and 1892.
Can any sane farmer be brought to
believe that there is any relation be-
tween the election of Republican Pres
| ident and Congress in 1896 and the
| abundant crops of 1897 and the extra
| ordinary foreign demand for them in
1898? They will hardly be able to figure
out how McKinley's election caused our
| agricultural exports to be $4,000 ,OC0
greater than they were last fiscal year.
And they will be entirely justified in
| concluding that the Republican politi-
clans who make such ridiculous claims
are arrant humbugs who are totally I'M
worthy of trust or confidence.
That farmer is pretty slow of intel
lect who has not come to the conclu-
sion long ago that the policy of the
Republican party toward foreign trade
is strongly hostile to the interests OF
the American farmer. 1t is an axiom
that whatever restricts imports also re-
STREETS exports. A tax on i'm
ports necessarily prevents the
producer of an article of ex-
port from obtaining the full value OF
MS product. The Republican duties on
many classes OF necessaries of more
'han 100 per cent makes it impossible
Tor the farmer TO get half the quantity
OF these goods for 100 bushels of whea,
that he otherwise could get. The same

FIVE LYNCHED.
A Party Of Negro Murderers and
Incepdiaries Swung Up.--Bodies
Riddl3d With Bullets.

Montgomery, Ala, June 1.-THE
men who murdered Mr.. Garden and his
wife and an old man named Carlee last
week, near Wetumpka, were lynched
at nine O'Clock to-day.
Last night Governor Johnson receiv-
ed a message from the Sheriff that a
mob was assembling and ne reareo his
prisoners would be taken from him and
asked for troops The Governor soon
got together about ninety men or .ne
local MALTA and sent them to Wetump-
ka on a special train. Before they
reached there, however, the mob had
secured the prisoners-five in number,
and took them to the scene of the MUIR
der. Four of the negroes confessed to
having participated in the crime, and
one of them told where he had hid the
money. He was compelled to find it
and in a few minutes near the scene Of
the crime all five were swung up and
their bodies riddled with bullets. The
militia was unable to follow the mob
last night. as they were all well mount
ed and no means of conveyance were
at hand to take the soldiers after them
| This morning efforts were made to find
the negroes, and about II o'clock news
came of over telephone from Wetump-
ka that they had been found swinging
from a limb
Their names are unknown.

ANOTHER BLUFF.
Mister Camara and His Fleet Report
ed to Be in Motion Again.

Gibraltar, June 17.-The captain of a
German steamer which arrived here
this morning reports having sighted
the Spanish Cadiz fleet off Ceuta, north
coast of Africa, about opposite, and
seventeen miles southeast of Gibraltar,
last evening. The warships, 1t is add
ed, were going in an easterly direction.
The fleet consisted Of two battleships.
four large cruisers and four torpedo
boat deStrOyers.
Madrid, June II, 6 p. m.-There are
a number of rumOrs in circulation here
as to the destination of Admiral CANA
ras fleet. One has it that the Spanish
warships are heading for Boston, Mass,
with the intention Of bombarding New
England towns, and another report
sets forth that the Spanish reserve fleet
is going to the Philippine Islands.
Washington, June 1.-THE State De-
partment received the following dis
patch from its agent at Gibraltar:
Charles ", Pelayo, Rapiolo, Pat
riota, Audaz, Osado, Prosperina. Cir
aida, Prelajo, Colon, with the minister
on board, Alfonso Doce, Canadonga, An
tonic Lopez, Isla Panos, Buenos Ayres
and San Francisco left Cadiz yesterday.
First eleven passed the Rock bound for
Carthagena for orders; last three troops
on board"
This is Admiral Camara's Cadiz
squadron and appears to be in the Me-
diterranean bound for African shores.
Madrid, June Ia p. m.-There is
a feeling of great optimism in official
circles here and in the Hobbies Of the
Cortes, owing to the departure of Ad-
miral Camara's fleet 1t is said in
ships, including auxiliary cruisers, and
it is added that it has an enormous
quantity of war material on board, in
Guiding a mysterious new explosive.
1t is also whispered that the squadron
when at sea was to be divided and to
proceed to different destinations.
Fresh cOntingents of troops are be-
ing constantly called to the colors, and
there is great activity in the war and
navy departments. Work on the for
tlfications at the different ports Of
Spain is being actively pushed, and it
is asserted that third squadron Of
warships is to be formed Immediately,
to be composed of the Cardinal Cis-
neros, Lepanto, Alfonso XIII, and
other cruisers. Cadiz is to be the rem
devious of this squadron.
1t is the general opinion here that
a protracted war is ahead, and is it
semi-officially announced that the gov
eminent does not count upon the sup
port Of any power, and that even Ger
many, in spite of her great interests in
the Philippine Islands, will do nothing
to favor Spain.

Gus, cruel blunder if the army was not
to arrive.
No wonder Mr.. Mckinley was greatly
alarmed" until the news came that the
marines had by their own valor saved
themselves from the humiliation to which
the blunder condemned them.
This blunder, which, as we have said,
| might very easily have proven infin-
itely more costly than it did, had it not
been for a fortunate combination of
good luck, the heroism of our marines
and the incompetence of the Spaniards,
is of piece with all that the admins
traton has done in this war from The
very start-Deweys grand victory;
alone, standing out in splendid relief
victory, by the way, which in all
proba ability would never have been ac-
complshed had Dewey been in as close
touch with Washington as Sampson
and Schley have been.
The senseless and uncertain man
coverings of the timid and uneasy
administrations at Washington and is
evident lack Of every purpose but delay
have simply encouraged the enemy and
allowed him to gain time by our dila-
tory tactics to strengthen mis- defenses
against us. And now, when we really
assume the vigorous offensive-if we
ever do-our task will be many fold
harder than it would have been lad we
taken the aggressive at the star. Our
preparations were not complete when
the war began, but we were no worse
off than cur adversary. He was not
prepared for war He did not expect it.
All the utterances and actions of the
Washington pacificos-the party in
power-justified SPANS belief that the
United States would submit to anything
rather than fight. Hence it was that
the fortifications of Manila were lef;
half dismantled, while those of Ha-
vana were in little better condition.
Fortunately, gallant Dewey disposed Of
the former before Washington could
call him off as it called off Sampson at
San Juan before he had completed the
work which he had cut out. But Ha-
vana instead of being reduced and
captured at once, was blockaded-
peacefully blockaded-and Blanco was
given all the time he desired 10
strengthen his Notifications. while the
reconcentrados, for whom we are Os-
tensibly fighting, were rapidly starving
to death Santiago, likewise has been
given weeks in which to make prepare
lions to resist our troops. The Span
sh have profited by every hours delay,
while we have suffered proportionately.
We shall win, of course there never
has been any doubt of that. AS Lord
Wolseley said, we could defeat any ma
ton lin the long run But we shall
not win by one or two decisive strokes,
as we might have won had we forced
the campaign at the start. We will
win now only after a more or less pro-
tracted struggle IN WHICH HuHureuS anu
perhaps thousands of lives will be sac
rificed to the Washington policy OF in
decision and delay. 1t is altogeth-
err probable that we will lose ten men
now where we should have lost but
one had we taken the aggressive the mo-
ment war was declared. In short, the
administration conduct of the war has
been shameful farce and we will be
fortunate indeed if this policy of faulty
or stupidity does not result in winding
it up as bloody tragedy.

The Spaniards are taking advantage
reinforce Sampson to move their fOrti-
fications to more advantageous posi-
tons and to throw up earthworks
against land attack. The Cubans are
cooperating with the marines, but ev-

taking Santiago harder and more costly
in American blood. No wonder Samp-
son is impatient

The new revenue law advances the
tax on stogies which have been selling
for say ten dollars thousand, to sixty
cents a thousand, which, the Pittsburg
Post points out, is also the rate for
cigars that sell at 5000 thousand.
The Post adds:
Not many of these are consumed, but
when you reach down to cigars at from
$50 to 500 thousand the consumption is
very large. 1t will strike most people
that cigars should be taxed according to
quality and value and not according to
quantity. Why should the modest and
unfra grant stogie pay the same rate as
the quarter cigar? Congressman Dalzell.
Wheeling district, represent contiguous
districts where nine-tenths of the tobie
cigars produced in the country are
made. The product of these districts is
somewhere about 800, coo 900 annually They
should have locked out for the interests Of
the tobie smokers. In consequence of the
tax of 60 cents thousand manufacturers
have advanced wholesale prices one dol
lar thousand. The government gets 60
thousand because of the tax. Competition
may remedy this, and very likely will.
Already the retail price has advanced
from four for a dime to three for a
dime. Why wasn't Dovener looking
out for the interests of the Wheeling
stOgie?

is true proportlonately of all dutiable
goods.
Thus the intelligent farmer sees that
| his produce may be sold abroad to the
value of s800,0OO,0 900 a year and that
the Republican tariff prevents him from
getting more than &c per cent of the for
eign goods in exchange that he could
otherwise get, and he thoroughly I'M
derstands that instead of promoting his
prosperity the Republican party is TAX
rig from his pockets $40, 600, 900 a year
on his exports, to say nothing of the
larger amount it takes for the benefit
of protected monopolies at home
when exchanging his produce for pro-
tected homemade goods.
The intelligent farmer knows that
the politicians cannot give him good
crops and that when they tell him they
or their party gave him prosperity they
simply lie. He also knows to his sor-
row that the politicians while they can
not give him good crops can rob him
