The Populist are already growing

The claim of the opponents OF pro-

duty on coal would advance the
price to consumers does not seem to
have been justified. The recent re-

amount of coal produced in 1897 was
the largest OH record, with the avel-

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Special Correspondence.
Washington, D. e, April rs: 1898.
Has the new protective tariff helped
the farmer in the way of giving him
better prices? 1t was shown recently
that since the adoption of the new
tariff the Importation of farm pro-
ducts had been greatly reduced.
That is good enough rs far rs it goes.
1t is also easy to show that the cx-
portation Of farm productions has
greatly increased as compared with
last year. which is also good rs tar 40
it goes. But is the farmer getting
better prices for his productions since
the enactment of the new tariff law!
Everybody knows, of course, that
prices has advanced within the last
year or two, especially since the
country rejected the free coinage
proposition, and advertised to the
world that it proposed to stand on
a sound money basis. But it is im-
portant to the average farmer who
wants to consider this question intel
ligcntly, to know how the range of
prices is compared with the date OF
the adoption OF the new tariff law,
nearly nine months ago.
Fortunately. it is practicable to
supply the information. and it shows
that in nearly every article of farm
production there has been an ad-
vance in prices since the enactment
of the Dingley law. Bradstreets,
which is an accepted authority, pub
fishes from time to time tables show
ing the prices in New York and 9th
er great business centcres, OF various
| articles of iarin production, also var
inus articles of general consumption
by farmers and other people. These
! tables quote the prices of articles III
question at the beginning of each
| month considered. The new tariff
act went lutO ~ -os o~~'
by comparing the prices that existed
ut the beginning of that month will
those at the beginning of the present
month, it is practicable to determine
whether the new tariff law is making
itself felt in its effect upon the prices
of farm products. If there were ad
F, vances in only all occassional article
| it might be assumed that they couit
properly be accredited to the new
tariff law. But this is not the case
for ali cxaninat on Of the list o
articles OF farm production shows
that practically ever one of them hai
advanced in price since the beginning
of the month in which the new Law
went into operation.
Read the following table and SET
for yourselves. The prices qnotee
are those of the New York markets
except in cases where other places

While the above table shows that
the prices of practically all articles
of farm production have advanced
since the enactment of the tariff law.
il is also found that many articles
used by farmers, or at least in the
TRANSPORTATION of their productions,
have fallen since the adoption of the
now tariff law, thus giving them the
double advantage Of higher price
for their own productions and a lower
price tor, those which they must buy

her in the state hospital for the insane,
and, failing in that, as the court would not

court to compel him to pay her certain
sum per month. In this she was unsuccess-
full. as he refused to pay dollar, and was
brought before the court yesterday for
contempt. On Richards showing that her
attorney had not served on him a copy
of the judgment, the court sustained the
objection and dismissed the suit.
