signed the nomination, very honest
and sensible thing to do under the cir
cumstances, as his own interests were
at variance with the voters.
Over 100 republican nominees for
congress, if honest should take the
same step. Grosvenor and others of
Ohio; Hemenway and Lands and Over
street, of Indiana; Loudenslager and
others in New Jersey, and so the lists
of states might be gone through.
Nearly every congressman from Iowa,
if honest, would step aside. All these
and others know that tariff reform
sentiment is overwhelming in the CEN
trail and western states. President
Roosevelt also has discovered, even in
New England, that tariff-reform senti-
ment was rampant, but he did not have
the pluck of Henderson. He looked for
a way to evade the issue that he knew
was right and on the side of the people.
His conscience told him that he should
boldly champion their cause against
the trusts and corporations. But he
needed it not and called in the chosen
protection advocates, knowing what
their advice would be before he
asked it.
The senatorial junta that controls
legislation, through their power as
chairmen of the important commit
tees, decided of course, that reform of
the tariff must not be an issue. The
president must go to the western
states and make no promise of relief
from the real cause of the enormous
prices of the necessaries of life. Thus
the trusts have the president gagged.
his talks to the people will be stifled
by the orders of the senatorial junta
The coincidence of the announcement
of the retirement of Henderson at the
very time the senators were persuad-
ing the president to forego tariff dis
cussions, is so remarkable that it is
easy to believe that the trusts are back
of both these extra ordinary announce
ments.
All the senator's present have been
consistent friends of the combines and
corporations, every vote they have
east, the bills they have smothered, all
prove this. Now when the pinch comes
and an erratic president is to be las
seed, why should they not all join in
plan to corral him?
Henderson will soon get his reward,
but will the president reach his am
bition?
How Hanna and the trust magnates
must be laughing in their sleeves at
he tanning of the rough rider.

will not buy our goous as freely as
we buy theirs. Therefore we must
cut down our American imports un-
til something like equality is estab-
lished. Germany has made some
foolish discriminat tons against Ca
madam wheat; we must, therefore,
aim to strike blow at Germany. In
this way the word protection loses it's
meaning. What is sought is not the
protection of our own industries, but
the injury of somebody else's."

Verify this is queer world and
the tariff is a perplexing question!
Is it possible that five years of good
crops in both these countries and
poor crops in Europe have anything
to do with our prosperity? Is it
certain that we are prosperous at
all, outside of the protected trusts
and the farming sections of the
west? Will not the trusts soon have
gobbled up all of the surplus pros
perity even of these western farm
ers?

WHAT BRYAN SUGGESTS.
The President Should BE Urged to Call an
Extra Session of Congress and
Pass Five Measures.

Lincoln, Neb, Oct. TN a state
ment made yesterday evening w. j.
Bryan says President Roosevelt
should be commended for his efforts
to settle the miners strike. He sug-
gests, however, that since the oper-
ators decline to arbitrate the presi-
dents hands are tied and urges him
to call an extra session of congress.
Five measures, Mr.. Bryan says,
should be recommended for passage.
Summarized. these are, in Mr.. Bryan's
language: "A law establishing a ma
tional board of arbitration, consist
ing of three to five members, to con-
slider and report on all controversies
between corporations engaged in in
terstate commerce and their
employees; a law abolishing govern
ment by injunction; law that will
discriminate between the natural
made man created by the Almighty
and the corporation giant created by
legislation; law taking the tariff
off coal; law which will prevent
railroads engaged in interstate COM
merce from operating coal mines, ex-
cept for the purpose of supplying
fuel for their own engines"

INCREASED USE OF OIL.
A. n Fuel 1t In Becoming More Valu.
able Than Coal on Ocean Steam
Srs and Locomotives.

The discovery of new sources for
the supply of fuel oil has reawak-
ened the possibility of using 1T in
Atlantic liners and other high speed
vessels. The objections hitherto
have been uncertainty as to the con-
tinuance of the present oil fields, the
slight margin of saving in COMPARE
son with coal in many localities, and
| want of success in obtaining good re-
suits through ineXperience in the
management of oil fuel, but these
| disappear, in great part. with the ap-
parently unlimited production OF the
Texas and other new oil wells, and
new types or systems of burners
which are an improvement upon
their predecessors, writes E. P. Wat
SON, in Scientific American. Many
of the naval powers are now fitting
out war vessels to use oil fuel, and
others are experimenting with view
to its adoption later on. The Ger
man admiralty have used oil on their
China station for auxiliary purposes
for months in lieu of coal. The Ham
burg-American company has four
ships using liquid fuel wholly, and
the North German Lloyd two, while
the Dutch mail and cargo boats in
the far east employ oil solely as
fuel. There are over 80 depots or
stations now where oil can be pro-
cured regularly by vessels, and more
are being laid down as rapidly as pos
sible.
OH fit for fuel purposes has the
following chemical composition: Car
bon, SO per cent; hydrogen, 1915
per cent; oxygen, 1.25 per cent. The
two other impurities present in the
mass are water and sulphur. The
action of water is obvious, while the
sulphur if free, not in chemical COM
bination, attacks both iron and
steel, and mechanical means to sep
arate the water, if oil is used on
shipboard, are necessary. Recent ex-
periments show that two tons of
oil are equivalent to three tons of
coal, while by volume SO cubic feet
of oil are equal to 81 cubic feet of
coal as ordinarily slowed in bunk
ers. This increases the radius of &C
ton of war vessel so per cent.
upon the bunker weight allotted and
nearly 90 per cent. upon the bunker
space, without any alteration of the
ship. 1t is also urged in favor of oil
that it is easily supplied in mid
ocean-from transports-while coal
presents great difficulties under the
same conditions. In commercial
work the gains predicted for oil VS..
coal are surprising. In high-speed
ships the weight and space occupied
by the propelling machinery leave nc
room of any account for freight. The
change from coal to oil would add
nearly 1000 tons to the carrying ca
pacity of given ship, while, as oil
fires never have to be cleaned, the
speed would be constantly main
tanned. With these and many other
advantages in favor of liquid fuel it is
not unreasonable to look for its gen.
eral adoption in the near future.
both on land and sea. Many loco
motives are now using it, and others
are being built for oil service, both
in this country and abroad.

MAKING FARMS IN NEBRASKA
Agriculturists Catch New Land by
Means of Dams and Prevent Soil
from Being Washed Away.

Farm building is the latest vocation
of the Nebraska farmer, says the Chi
cago Inter Ocean. After the harvest
ing of the crops thousands of farmers
in eastern Nebraska will spend weeks
in the construction of dams that will
catch for them new land. Most of
these farmers have been driven to this
by the heavy rains of this summer,
which have carried away the black soil
from their farms and left them with
only clay subsoil.
Lewis c. Burnett, of Otoe county, in
a published letter, insists that the i'm.
pairment of the soil in this manner this
year far exceeds the loss caused by
the drought of last year.
"The surface soil that is washed of
with each rain or flood" he says, sis
to the earth what cream is to milk, and.
while the subsoil is rich and with
plenty of manure and good cultivation
canNbe made to produce good crops
eventually, the black earth which it
has taken ages to prepare for the use
of man can never be reproduced. The
loss will not be felt in diminished crops
this year, but the soil will never be as
good as before, and the droughts of
coming years will hurt the farmers
worse than ever"
1t is agreed by the experts that the
only way to save the black soil for
Nebraska is to build dams that will
catch the sediment before it goes into
the Missouri. This is comparatively
inexpensive. but involves great deal
of labor. The farmers have been en-
gagged in recent years in thing and
ditching their lands. and this system,
while abolishing chills and fever, has
robbed the land of it's natural stor-
age reservoirs and impoverished the
Soil.
BY a creek which empties into the
Missouri, Charles Clayton, of Syracuse.
has a 4OO-acre farm which he "btIilt,,
by the use of dams. This year he has
caught IS inches of soil-wash on an so
acre farm. His whole farm is made
up of washings from his neighbors
holdings. He has built up his farm
until it is beyond the reach of high
water. One 200-acre field of corn this
year will yield so bushels to the acre,
while none-of his neighbors' will &C
over so. In one part of his farm is an
eight-foot fill.

PROSPERITY FROM TARIFF.
Without Resorting to the Repub-

The United States and Canada are
two great countries with a border
line 5000 miles long. Naturally il
might be supposed that an economic
system that would benefit one would
also benefit the other. Such, how.

if the statesmen in charge are to be
believed.
The republicans who are sit" in

government are perfectly certain
that the prosperity which they talk
SO much about Ito make sure that
we have it, is due to our high pro-
lection policy, inaugurated five years
ago. Canada lowered her tariff du.
ties about the time we raised ours
and the statesmen there are now
crediting their prosperity to these
lower duties. A recent issue of the
Toronto Globe says:
eff under any scale of duties the
industries of a country are prosper
ing, higher duties cannot be justified
even on grounds of expediency. The

GAGGING 1HE PRESIDENT.
how the Trusts Are Going to Ensure
the Continuation of Pro-
tectiOn's Aid.

Two political events occurred on
Tuesday, September 16, that will have
far-reaching effect on the politics of
the country. That they happened
simultaneously may have been an acct
dent but would point to deep-laid
plan.
On that day President Roosevelt had
called together at Oyster Bay the lead
ers of his party to consult with them
about the position he should take on
the tariff and the trusts in his political
speeches in the west.
On the same day Speaker Henderson
declined to accept denomination to
congress, giving as the reason that ga
great many" republicans in his district
were in favor of reforming the tariff
by taking off the protection that the
Dingley bill gives to the trusts.
Both the president and the speaker
of the house of representatives had
discovered that ga great many" repub-
hcans wanted reform. They were tired
of paying more for the trust made
goods than the same goods were being
sold to foreigners for. Speaker Hen
derson had through the power of his
political machine stifed the voice of
these independent republicans, and on
the face of the returns his convention,
made up of Office holders and political
strikers, renominated him and made
platform of his own choosing of the
patented stripe. This happened in
May. He returns to his district in Sep

pie crying aloud for reform. He re-
