President McKinley's ideas have not
changed regarding the wisdom Of free
trade for Puerto Rico. The Wash
ington Post says:
president Mckinley in conversation
with callers at the white house reiter-l
ated his belief that the people Of Puerto
Rico were entitled to free trade with
the United States. He made it clear
that his views had undergone no.
change since he wrote his messageSto
congress. He still adheres to the
sentiment therein expressed. AT the
same time he said he was unable to
subscribe to the theory that the CON
stitution followed the flag: that Puerto
Ricans must have free trade as a neces-
sary legal right. When he found that
the house found it the part of wis
dom, the president explained, to i'm
pose small tariff upon the condition
that revenues SO collected are all to be
returned to The island, he has been
constrained to yield to the Judgment
of the house, Tariff under such con-
ditions would be no hardship to Puerto
Ricans. Moreover he believed 1t adj
visable at the earliest moment, to Sc
d a decision of the supreme court
or constitutional questions involved.
Therefore, he had given his consent to
nominal tariff and agreed to sign such
"a bill. He left no doubt in the minds
OF his callers whom he questioned
closely regarding the drift Of public
sentiment that congress and not the
executive was responsible for the
change Of policy

The Van Dusen-Harrington COM
panygraiR commission men-to show
the loss to farmers from unelean seed
say in a recent circular:
A careful estimate seems to show
that one-fifth of all the wheat raised
In Minnesota and the Dakotas is low
cred one grade when ii is marketed by
reason Of smut. One-ffth is about
40 million busheIs-and the loss ON
each bushel is certainly 2 cents, which
makes $S00,000 lost to our farmers and
principally to North Dakota
for here most of the smutty wheat is
grown. The above seems to us to be
very conservative estimate. We
know that the loss is frequently 5 and
sometimes 10 cents per bushel.

Why they call that ARRIVAL, I don't
know!
An u dogdinged thing---a city chap
Come long and paid five hundred cold
For it, an thought he had a snap
An had to laugh how he got sold.
"a ragged kid in a torn straw hat,
Like I've seen hundred times, I bet,
An payin' out that much for that,
8B'gosh, tn fools amt all dead yet!
