In URGING a repeal OF the tariff
on >cattle meat and hides, the
time must come when breach
will be made in the tariff wall.
So far the breach has not. been
made. Protected trusts sell their
products abroad at a lower
price than they do at home.
But no tariff is reduced, and it
does not take a prophet to see
that not one will be unless the
people rouse themselves and
make demand that even the
trusts controlling legislation
shall not be powerful enough to
withstand.

easily the people are skinned by
the men they elect to protect
them.-Appeal.

in rural schools will attract considerable
attention, and is of great interest to
the Minnesota contingent. Agitation
along that line has been started in Min
nesota already. Supt ]. H. Lewis issued
a bulletin on the subject, and Prof. Willet
M. Hayes has also written extensively
in favor Of the idea. The last legislature
made an appropriation for the distribu-
tion of agricultural bulletins among the
schools as a preliminary step to the In
auguration in this important branch.
Supt. Olson and Prof. Hayes are now at
work on plans which, when completed,
will give the new movement a good start
in this state. The Chicago conference is
expected to give a new impetus to this
movement, and it will help Minnesota as
much as any other. state in the Union.
