Germany's Food Trust,


The German tariff on foodstuffs is
now bearing heavily upon the people
but the agrarians, who would form
something in the nature of q food trust
are persistent in their demand that the
duties shall be largely increaseT and
they have a majority on the tariff
commission. The government is favor
able to an increase of duties. but it is
more moderate than the commission.
While the government is disposed to
have the tariff rates increased from 80
to Is per cent, the commission urges
from 100 to $50 per cent on grain and
flour and very much more on meats. In
fact, the duties proposed by either the
government or the commission on pork
and sausage would be absolutely pro-
hibitive and of course are intended to
be.
The German consumer and the Ger
man importer are both up in arms
against the proposed great increase in
duties submitted by the agrarian COM
mission and the government has been
manifesting a disposition to give heed
to the popular protest, even to the eX-
tent of allowing the bill to fail but it
can not be confidently predicted that
the government will not finally yield to
the influence of the great landowners,
who are engaged in forming or in seek
ing to form vast food trust which
shall exclude foreign competition. I'm
der existing industrial conditions in
Germany any increase in the cost of
foodstuffs would be a very serious
matter for millions of consumers.

4 WICKED IOWA CITY,

The other day a special telegram was
sent out from Sioux City to the effect
that, Mortified by the wickedness of the
city, Rev. ]. A. Geremann, pastor of st.
Boniface Catholic church, Sioux City.
had asked Bishop Garrgan for trans
fer to a smaller town. where there will
be less evidence of sin. It further stated
that his request has been granted and
the reverend father will be transferred
TO Granville, Iowa. In his farewell SER
mon Father Geremam made the sensa-
tional statement that the young people
of Sioux City were so wicked that he
had become discouraged and he wanted
to get to a smaller town, where the
people were morally better than in
Sioux City.
From one point of view Rev. Gere-
mann's motives will not be questioned,
but isn't he retreating from the path OF
duty? Isn't he just the man to stay and
work for the city's belterment? 1t is
which his request suggests, men of deep
religious character, are needed in city
given over to wickedness.
1t may be assumed that he is right in
his characterization of the city. A
we'll posted travelling man, who has
spent many years in travelling over
Iowa, calls 1T 1.-The most ungodly city"
in the state. Sunday dissertation is es-
pecially noticeable. 1t is chiefly given
over to games and Demonstrating by
a large part of the population. The
city officials have difficulty at all times
in keeping the gambling, and sporting
elements under cover.
Sioux City was frontier town In its
early history, and the substratum upon
which the present society rests was
largely nodded by the irresponsible
classes. It's good citizens have had this
to combat and in time they will, it is
hoped, succeed in keeping the disorderly
in this by the churches, societies, and
in the fact that its leading newspapers,
clean and elevating in tone. These
forces should be strong enough in time
TO improve the moral tone and to pro-
mote the observance of law and order.

cuMMlNs ON IOWA.

Before a brilliant gathering of repub-
licans at the Marquette Club in Chicago
last evening Governor Cummins adj
dressed the nation upon Iowa and the
Tariff" He undertook to take the IF
out of the general misunders landing of
the Iowa idea by saying that the time
had already arrived for change in
some tariff schedules, andt hat Iowa re-
publicans proposed that the changes be
made thru reciprocal treaties with other
nations. Regarding the removal of du-
ties in order to prevent their affording
shelter to monopoly Mr.. Cummins said
that Iowa republicans means just what
they say. Monopoly he considered a
crime aaginst the public veal, ard the
crime against the public veal, ard the
Iowa platform proposed to take from all
monopolies any tariff schedule that
might serve to shelter the monopoly
against foreign competition. The con-
sumner had a better right to competition
than the producer to projection, he said.
and If competition at home had been
destroyed by a monopoly the CONSUME
er's rights and the welfare of the coun-
try demanded that the competition of
the world be invited if necessary. No
good, he argued. could come from the
power of one man or one corporation
to fix the price of commodity the peo-
pie must buy.
The governor was particularly eau
tious turnout his address, for he realiz-
es that the "old guard politician has
pictured him abroad as an unsafe man.
as demagpgue of the long horned va
riety, and he proposed to tell the out
side world-for he realized that the eyes
of the nation were upon him-about the
Iowa idea without frightening it. The
address is a brilliant gem of oratory,
and will make. pleasant reading to any
one. Cummins quoted from Mckinley
and Blaine, and found nothing in the
Iowa idea, either new or unreRublican.
He scoffed at the fancied calamities to
come from republican revision of the
tariff, marked clearly the wide gulf be-
tween the democratic idea of tariff re-
vision and the Iowa idea. and boldly
proclaimed that certain schedules OF the
Diagley bill were too high for present
day needs. while he had no criticism to
make of their wisdom when adopted.
The address was the great hit of the
evening and places Cummins and Iowa
several rows more to the front on the
stage of national politics.

TELEPHONE EXTENSION IN IOWA.

The rapid extension of telephone lines
in the farming districts of Iowa during
the past two years has been marvellous
No public utility of equal value and
convenience has been furnished patrons
at such trifling expense as the tele.
phone, and hence the number of lines
has multiplied rapidly.
The extent of the construction of tel
ephone lines in. Iowa is shown by the
report of the state executive council or
the assessment of telegraph and tele-
phone companies which has just beer
issued by the state printer. According
to statistics secured for the assessment

While the telephone is designed to
annihilate distance, its greatest use is
in direct ratio to it's nearness chiefly
because people are concerned most by
their immediate surroundings. The
long distance telephone, however, is
coming into greater use, tho such COM
munication is attended with more diff
ticulties. Conversations between per-
sons a thousand miles apart are not in
frequent; yet for business purposes
there are difficulties and limitations
that prevent its general use. One thing
that will retard it is the difficulty Of

reason that for simultaneous converse.

by the Electrical Review, which rather

ism obtaine da strong foothold in the
democratic national platforms of 1896

The democratic party and the So
Iscialists are one in the belief that the
government should own the coal mines

begin the manufacture OF beet sugar In

the company has been installing new

expected, however, that the actual

them.
