That the monster steel consolida.

is using the tariff wall for all il il
worth is shown by the following
paragraph in the Engineering News,
which knows what il is talking
about: 1.-The contrast between
trust prices for steel and iron 10 the
home consumer and to the foreign
cons inner has been often set forth,
but SO frequently denied that some
actual figures may be OF interest.
A recent cable dispatch from Eng
land states that American wire rods
are offered delivered in Manchester
a. six pounds ($29.30) per ton.
Market quotations in the United
States are $50 per ton. Adding
cost Of freight, etc., it is clear that
the rod-maker is netting at least SIS
per ton more profit from his Amer
lean customers than from his foreign
sales. 1t is not strange that the
iron and steel magnates deprecate
any interference with the tariff. ~
The trust no doubt effects "econ.
omies Of production" but the trust
and the foreigner. for New York
enrouto for jamestown, not the
American consumers, get the bene-
fit OF cheaper production. The
trusts naturally think the present
tariff satisfactory, but the taxpayers
object to it SO long as foreigners are
|avored at their expense.
The trusts are beginning to &C.

A Plutocratic Farmer.

Sioux Falls Journal: The sale Of
the stock, etc. on the Cataract farm
Tuesday brought to this city the
richest farmer in South Dakota, and
for that manner probably the richest
man in the United States who has
made his fortune farming. The man
referred TO is Peter Aggregaard, who
lives between Irene and Viborg, and
who is worth more than $500, 900,
made entirely out OF farming in this
state. He owns eighty quarter sec
tions OF land in Turner, Lincoln and
Clay counties, the cash value of
which is at least $500, 900. Then he
owns over 1000 head Of cattle, be
sides much other stock, and big
bank roll, and does nor owe a dollar.
He is an ordinary individual, but it
was evident from the way he sized
UP matters at the sale that he knew
what he was doing. Some people
might take Aggr gard for man
without money. as did some cattle
dealers in the Chicago stock yards tc
their sorrow about year ago. He
was wandering around the yard
among people that did not know him
and saw bunch OF cattle that just
suited. He asked what they were
worth and the boss set lower price
than he desired to sell for, thinking
the farmer had no prospects Of buy
ing any. Their Aggregaard asked
how many would be sold at that
price, getting the reply that all he
wanted. He Immediately said he
would take train load OF twenty
cars and he made the deal go, al,
though the owner scratched his heae
a good many times and tried to back
out.

country was in prosperous cons
dltlon and the treas ry contained
a surplus when a democratic con-
gress and a democratic president
repealed the Mckinley protective
tariff act aud substituted for it
the Wilson-Gorman Tariff-for-
Revenue DILL. In few years the
industries of the country were
ruined. millions Of workingmen
were out OF employment, and the
national debt increased to the ex-
tent of 1862, 900, O0O.
Then, in 1896, the American
people in their desperation and
Indignation turned the democrat
ic party out of power, bag and
baggage. The republicans, re-:
stored to power, instantly re-es-
tablished the protective tariff
policy, and relief came quickly to
the depressed and suffering in
dustries. Our Philadelphia con-
temporary and other free-trade
organs of the same guild appear
to be anxious to try the Wilson
Gornon experiment again.
Their fault finding and complain
ing will no, make much impress
sion on the country. The people
will be all the more wary about
ever trusting the democratic
party again with the power to
overthrow the protective tariff
system. The republican party
will maintain that system as long;
as it shall have the power to do
so. The internal revenue taxes
will be reduced as rapidly as
possible. That is republican
policy, and the people have come
to understand that is correct
policy. Wilkes-Barre ssRecord, .

stand up for them he is troddcn on
like the husband Of female suffra-

everybody is when he turns his face
to the wall and expires, then the
people hang around him and say
things about him that would make
him scream forjoy if his poor deaf
ears could only hear.
