wholesale prices Of granulated sugar fell
from 7.6 cents per pound In 1889 TO Az
cents in '97, while to-day sugar is
cheaper than ever before.
The battle for protection has waged
these many years, during which the
farmer has been more or less skeptlcal
Of its benefits to him. But irrespective
Of politics, the farmer lied by the ma
tional grange) has come to agree that so
long as there is a tariff he wants as much
as the other fellow. And since the only
duties that directly benefit the farmer are
those on agricultural produce imported,
because not yet grown here sufficiently
to supply the market, on such produce
the farmer wants such protection equally
with the manufacturer. Now II Congress
overthrOws the farmers protection by
admitting free sugar, tobacco, fruits,
vegetables, rice, ETC., besides adding to
direct taxes, while at the same time con-
tinuing the manufacturers protection,
let no one be surprised II the farmers and
working people vote in 1900 or 1904 to
pitch the custom-hOuses into the sea!
Colonial annexation or colonial free
trade might benefit certain lines Of do
mestic manufactures, but at the expense
of domestic agriculture Shall our great
est industry be sacrificed to few manu-
featuring specialties? Shall we rob the
farmer of 100000, 900 to 5000, 900, 900 a
year? Not IL he knows it! Nor is he to
be misled by the plea that the tropics
will afford new and vast market at
good prices for his meats and cereals.
They never have, and in the nature Of
things probably never will.
The farmer is perfectly right in his pO-
sition Even England imposes the same
duties on imports from her colonies
tea, coffee, tobacco, liquors, ete.-as from
other countries. She gets One-fifth to
one-fourth of her revenue from this
source. At the present rate of decreas-
ing imports it will not be many years
before the United States tariff will yield
only about the same proportion Of the
revenue required for the increasing ex-
penses. 1t Is not time to lOp off $780,
100000 of tariff revenue to benefit tTop-
ical dependencies, nor to impose like
amount Of additional direct taxes upon
our people at home.

TROOPS MUST NOT DRINK
Intoxicants Damaging to Health and
Efficiency.

Washington, July 7.-Major General
Miles has issued this general order to
the army: The army is engaged in ac-
tive service under climatic conditions
which it has not before experienced.
In order that it may perform it's
most difficult and laborious duties with
the least practicable loss from sickness
the utmost care consistent with prompt
and efficient service must be exercised
by all, especially by officers.
The history of other armies has dem
Onstrated that in a hot climate absti-
nence from the use of Intoxicating
drink is essential to continued health
and efficiency
Commanding officers of all grades
and officers of the medical staff, will
carefully note the effect of the use of
such light bevera ges-wines and beer,
as are permitted to be sold at the post
and camp exchanges and the command
erS of all independent commands are
enjoined to restrict, or to entirely pro-
hibit the sale of such beverages, if the
welfare of the troops or the interest of
the service require such action.
In this most important hour of the
nations history it is due the govern
ment from all those in its service that
they should not only render the most
earnest efforts for it's honor and vel
fare, but their full physical and intel
lectual force should be given to their
public duties uncOntaminated by any
indulgence that shall dim, stultify,
weaken or impair their faculties and
strength in particular.
Officers of every grade, by example,
as well as by authority, by example,
to the enforcement of the order.
With a. view to avoid suffering among
horses or mules on the field of battle,
it is hereby ordered that a veterinary
surgeon or some other person detailed
by the commanding officer will accom-
pany troops in any engagement, whose
duty it viii be to put end to the ago
MES of all horses or mules that in his
judgment are suffering to a degree re-
quiring such action ON his part

PRAISES THE COURT.
Senator HoaFs Tribute to the High
est Judicial Tribunal.

Old Point Comfort, Va, July 7.-Sena-
tor George F. HOar of Massachusetts
delivered an address before the Virginia
Bar association today his topic being
the supreme court of the United States.
He said it must be agreed that the
court has scrupulously kept itself alOof
the domain which belongs to the poit-
have been intOlerable had it been other
WISE
In concluding he said: ct have spo-
ken in behalf of a tribunal whose cOnsti-
tutional judgments upon the greatest
questions with which it has ever had
to deal have OverthrOWn, baff1ed and
brought to naught the policy in regard
to the great matter of reconstruction,
of the party to which I myself belong
and of the school of politics in which
I have been trained, and in which I
suppose was that of a majority of the
American people. I submit that be-
neve that the example of such sub
mission is better and promises more
for the continued life of the republic
than any party success, or than the
prevalence of any special policy. The
life and the glory of this country are to
depend not on armies, or navies, not on
wealth, not on victory, not on empire,
not on commerce, not on numbers, but
upon the sentiments which govern the
individual citiZen-above all, on Obedi-
ence to law. The one most sublime
thing in the universe except its creator,
is that of a great and free people, gov
erning itself by a law higher than its
own desire"

GEOGRAPHY DEFECTIVE.
New York "sun's" Story of Fish in
Kansas.

New York Sun: There are trout in
Whitney Greek, a tributary of Kern
river, in Kansas" said a veteran New
York angler, the like of which don't
exist IN any other water on the face of
the globe. These trout have their abode
N the upper waters of the creek, and
1t is not invaded by any other breeds
or trout that swarm in the waters be-
low, simply because they cannot get
at it. About six miles from the head
OF Whitney creek there is a waterfall
100 feet high. The rock down the face
OF which the water tuTnbleS is solid and
smooth from base to summit. There
are no prOtruding lodges nor any hOl-
lows by means of which the other trout,
with leap after leap from ledge to
ledge and hollow to hollow, could scale
this precipice, as they do at thousands
OF high waterfalls elsewhere. COnse-
quently the trout above the falls have
never been disturbed by interlopers of
a different variety and they live by
themselves in the pure, cold water, a
most splendid family of fresh water
fish.
These trout are literally bespangled
with FURNISHED gold and dashed with
spots of the brightest crimson. The
first time ever saw one of these trout
l actually thought it had been dec
GRATED with flakes of gold leaf by its
poSsessor and that it's red spots had
been heightened in color with the brush.
But this is their natural ornamentatiOn,
and when they are taken from the wa
ter and the sunlight strikes them they
glitter and sparkle like a harlequin.
They are called the golden trout. Their
habits are the same as those of the or
binary brook trout, with all its gamy
qualities. Their flesh has the same
flavor. Their splendid beauty is what
places them at the head of this great
piscatorial family, famous for it's beau
ty. How this rare variety of trout came
to be alone in those upper waters of
Whitney creek is one of natures mys-
teries''
