WHATS THE MATTER NTH WOOL

The Ad dvertiser Would like to have
some Of the good republican "protec.
ton" brothers or newspapers. arise and
ex lain whats the matter with the
wool market just now?', Isn't wool
protected? Haven't we been told that
the low prices wool decended to during
'9S to '96, under the Wilson bill, was be-
cause there was no protection on wool?
Prices at their lowest during those times
went down only to &c. and wool brought
a much higher price during much of that
tune, and that was under what republi.
cans are pleased to refer to as the
Wilson free trade bill"
Prices have been fair for wool for
several years, and republicans have been
trying to make the wool grower believe
it was all because Of the protection on
wool. Under the trust manipulation of
affairs under the present high protec.
tion republican administration, wool has
recently been going down, until at the
present time, the prices quoted by Cres.
ton dealers are only from9 to lac but
very little wool grades up, to the lac.
price, most Of the best bringing but
about l2c.
How do the republicans, protection
farmers like the present price Of wool,
especially if they are wool growers7
just now is the, shearing time. Most
wool growers expect to shear their sheep
and sell the wool as they do not want TO
store and keep it. This is the work OF
the trust. They AZ the price Of wool as
the sugar trust axes the price of sugar.
When the wool grower is shearing his
tiocks and has wool to sell, they force
the price of wool down.. When the
farmer and other citizens wish to put
up fruit, and the demand for sugar is
good, then the sugar trusts puts up the
price of sugar.
The present low price Of wool is no
doubt the work of the combination of
mar ufacturers who use the wool. The
price is not regulated by supply and
demand, or by the tariff on wool, but
by the great combinations which AZ the
price. The republican wool grower, who
voted for protection" and last year
refused to vote against the trusts can
didate TOR president, has no occasion to
kick, however, but he should walk up
to the wool dealer and take his &c. or
l2c. for bis wool and look pleasant.
His democratic neighbor told him how
it would be, but he couldn't see it that
way. -
However, the present low prics "
wool is nearly taking the buyer out Of
the business, and the Hepnblican ,,9ro.
tection" wool grower is kicking on the
price, just as vigorously as his demo-
cratic neighbor, -Creston Advertiser.

issues-he was free to act with independ-
ence and did so.
Turning on MIR. Tillman he suggested
that the latter always found a bomb
proof and went on:
.sOh, yes. Mr.. Tillmans says, why
don't l resign. If Pm elected. it will
mean the people don't want him; but he
stopped there. He's smart: You'll
never catch him committing himself too
far. He did not say if Pm elected he'd
resign. oh, no. You'll never hear of
Benjamin, the TilImanite, reslgning."
Senator Tillman jumped up and ex-
claimed:

'll'resign right now," said Mr.. Till.
man. "If you will. and We will go before
the people,"
Agreed, was the answer.
Draw up the paper, and we'll sign it
right now" said Mr.. Tillman.
THAT suits me, was Mr.. McLaurin's
reply.
Soon after the agreements and resig.
nations we're signed, and both senators
seemed happy over the result.
1t will be left to the democratic COM
lnittee to say when the primary will be
held, and whether it will he open to all
comers. Mr.. Tillman says he wants
Just as many as want his full term to
run against him, and one primary, with
strictly senatorial candidates will be
ordered.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1901-06-06

A Brooklyn paper reports Senator
Depew as saying that Mckinley is the
logical republican candidate for the
presidency in 1904 and predicting his
election. The republic will have fallen
into deplorable waysif it shall dignity
the mere modern politician with third
term after denying the honor to the
greatest aoldier.heso the nation has pro.
duced since Washington. General
George u. Bryant and the other surviv,
ing stalwarts Of the a0d who vainly
stood by Grant to the last will not be
idle spectators Of suoh proceeding.
A presidential tenure long enough for
Washington, Jefferson, Jackson and
Grant will certainly suffice for the
"plain duty" opportunist now occupy
ing the Office.

REVISING THE TARIFF.

The Pioneer Press says it "has been
watching with deep interest the recep-
tion accorded by republican newspapers
and lenders to the proposition Of Con-
gresham Babcock of Wisconsin, that
protective duties be abolished ON steel
fabrics and on all other so.called trust
made articles. For it is hardly neces.
sary to recall to our readers that this
proposition originated with the Pioneer
Press. 1t was over two years ago, or on
March lG, 1892"
The Ft. Madison Democrat says, 'sThe
Press is mistaken about having originat-
ed the proposition as it was originated
by democrat in the house of represen-
tatiyes by way Of an amendment to the
Dingley monstrosity, and was voted
against unanimously if we remember, by
the republicans and was voted for unan-
imously by the democrats. But the
argument Of the Press published in 1899,
which it now repeats in part, is SO terse
and able that We copy it as follows:''
But there is one duty in this connec-
ton which before all others is laid upon
the republican party, ami that is to
promptly repeal every protective duty
under the shelter of which its beneficial
ries have organized trust or combina-
tiOn of any sort to advance prices.
That is the first thing to be done, be.
cause it is essential to the vindication of
the principles which underlle and iusti.
fly the protective policy. 1t has been
the standing accusation of our opponents
that a protective tariff, in giving home
Industries q substantial monopoly of the
home market, was the foster mother of
monopolies. To that charge our suffi-
cient and conclusive answer has been
that protection, in keeping out foreign
competition, fostered the competition
of the domestic producers, and that in
the end this competition invariably re.
duced prices to or below those of the
foreign products. The results Of exper-
fence have abundantly confirmed this
theory. The policy of protection,
therefore, demands the unrestricted
competition of the domestic producers
as one its essential conditions, II ia
it's chief economic justification. The
purpose and effecte Of these vast indus.
trial organizations is to abolish this COM
petition Of the domestic producers. If
they still maintained the benefits Of
competition by reducing prices below the
average under the regime Of competition
they might fairly lay claim to tolerant
consideration. But when they abolish
competition in order to raise prices they
plainly forfeit all claim to protection
1t will be the first duty Of the next con.
gress to abolish or suspend the protective
duty on the products Of any industry
which has been organized to monopo.
|! lie their manufactnre and which has
arbitrarily raised the prices OF such
foducts, \

LINEUP OF IOWA PRESS.

A favorite statement to the Iowa ma
chine press is that, in che contest be-
tween Cummins and anti Cummins, Mr..
Cummins has only the support of the
democratic and Independent news.
papers, while the republican papers Of
the state are solidly against him. This
statement is like others emanating from
the same source-not remarkable for
truth. Among the daily republican
newspapers Of the state are the follow.
ing supporting Mr.. Cummins:
Des Moines Capital.
Boone News.
Davenport Republican.
Iowa City Republican.
Marshalltown Times. Republican.
Mt. Pleasant Times. Herald.
Clinton Herald.
Boone Republican.
Webster City Freeman-Tribune.

Opposing Mr.. Cummins are the fol.
lowing Iowa republican dailies:
Burlington Hawkeye.

Sioux City Journal.
Cedar Rapids Republican.
keokuk Gate City.
Ottumwa Courier.
Creston Gazette.
Muscatine journal.
Atlantic Telegraph.
Council Bluffs Nonpareil.
Oskaloosa Herald.
Total. IL.
Two republican daily newspapers are
unplaced-the Fort Dodge Messenger
and the Dubuque Times-neither having
made any decisive statement for Of
against Cimmins. In the Cummins list
as above are included the Waterloo
Courier and Waterloo Reporter, both
supporting the candidate Of their con.
gressional district, Senator Hartman,
but friendly to MIR. Cummins as second
choice. Likewise, in the anti Cummins
list, are included the Atlantic. Tele.
graph, which is supporting John Her
riott for first choice, but is anti Cum.
Minis on second choice, and the Mason
City Globe Gazette, supporting Senate,
Trewin, but i-Cummins second
choice.
If from the anti-C -Cpmmins list as above
stated there should be deducted th,
newspapers which in whole or in par
are owned by railroad officers, and thos'
which receive q bonus from the railroad

YOUNG MEN in POLITICS.

There Is no more hopeful sign than
the more active interest young men are
displaying in politics. Several causes
have contributed to the result. The
country is growing richer and the people
more settled in habits and customs, and
larger number are able to devote their
time and energy to political affairs. The
colleges ana universities are aiding also
in the formation of public opinion
which encourages the better class of
graduates to give time and attention to
the public interests. The courses Of
study now provided in the political and
social sciences are sending out each year
larger and larger number of trained
and disciplined minds that will not only
lead and inform public opinion but will
furnish the class from which capable
public servants can he drawn. And
stronger sense Of duty of a citizen TO-
ward free government is likewise pre-.
vailing.
All these causes are bringing larger
number Of young men into the political
arena each year. But no one Of these
young men should deceive himself as to
the real basis of success in politics. 1t
is sincerity and not skill as a trickster
that the public is looking for in future
leaders. The rapid growth of the elec.
torate and the withdrawal Of large
Humber of young men from politics in
order that they might achieve success
in business and the professions, opened
in past time an inviting time for the
shrewd maneuyerer. He improved his
opportunity to the Utmost, and seeing
his success some young men who have,
entered politics in recent years have
made the mistake of thinking that the
highest art in politics consists in out
tricking politicians. The brief career they
will have should be lesson to other
young men,
The arena for the intelligent, courage
+ ous young man in politics was never SC
inviting as it is to-day. The settlement

has lent broader aspect to political
life. The narroW politics Of the pas,

RAILROAD VALUATION.

1901 ........ 49,. ...... .......... 81 10y ,524
1t will be seen that the assessment of
I 1900 was reduced $4,000 over that of
1899, being decrease Of per cent. and
that for 1901 is increased over 1900 only
$3.50 or one-tenth Of one per cent, the
increase being made on the old II. & s.
Now take look at how other prop.
erty has increased as shown by the fol-
lowing figures:
REAL AND Personal PROPERTY.
1899 ...... ... ....... - $l2,830, ,l36
1900 J. ........... $13 1888 800
1901 $l3, ,739, ,247
The increase of 1900 over that of 1899
B is $60a 1858 or 3.a per cent, aud the value
for 1901 is increased over that of 1900
$4O5,43 or per cent.
In other words the railroad assessment
in Decatur county has decreased $S2,6l2
since 1899, and the farms and personal
property during the same period have
increased $909, ,lOl. Just think of it,
almost million dollars and very nearly
the assessed value of all the railroads.
Is it any wonder the farmers and tax.
payers are demanding that the state
make more equitable
assessment Of railro ad property.

HOW MANY HOURS.

We are asked how many hours work
a day a farmer has right to demand
Of his hired men. That depends. Ten
hours make pretty big days work
if Il fellow attends right to business.
Twelve hours will be expected in most
cases. and from II to IL hours will be
squeezed out of a fellow by some men
if the hired man doesn't kick. We
know of one very successful farmer
who runs his farm ON the ten hour
plan, this time to include the doing of
chores as well as the work in the field.
1t is only rarely that this rule is bro
ken. ana no man keeps his farm work
up in better shape than he. Ten hours
are enough for the teams and enough
for the men. With all the improved
facilities for doing farm work the ten
hour day is coming for the farm, just
as it obtains in other lines of work.
