IOWA TARIFF TALK.
Gossip Regarding the Adoptfos of n
Plank FavOrins n Change
in Schedules.

A dispatch from Sioux City, Ia. con-
tains what purports to be an outline of
the tariff plank thatwill be favored for
adoption by the national repul lican
convention next year by President
Roosevelt, Senator Allison and Gov.
Cummins, of Iowa. 1t is intimated that
an agreement has been reached by the
three republican leaders named for
the adoption of the Iowa idea" with
respect to the tariff, with some modi-
tications," which is, perhaps, a qualify
ing and saving clause, says the Clcye-
land Leader.
Of course this is gossip. Nobody can
tell now, a year in advance of the as
sembling of the convention, what the
tariff plank of the republican platform
will be. One statement in the dispatch
tariff plank will insist that 1.-The ruling
and uncompromising principle is the
protection and development of Amer
lean labor and industries" There is
not a sentence or syllable in any of
the public uttcrances of President
Roosevelt which indicates that he is
in favor of departing in the least de-
gree from the doctrine of protection.
He has stood, absolutely and uncom-
promisingly, in line with his party
upon that question.
Republicans here and there may feel
that something would be gained by
revision of the tariff, but collectively
they see no reason for attacking exist
ing schedules. Every man of sense
knows that, once the tariff is opened
to amendment. there would be a gen.
eral assault upon the policy of protec-
ton. and doubt and uncertainty woultN
surely result. After all. the country
has enjoyed unexampled prosperity
under the present tariff law.

PROFIT FROM CHICKENS.
EARLY Maturity Has More to Do with
Success in Poultry Raising
Than Anything Else.

The time at which a fowl will ma
ture has much to do with the question
of profit from that fowl. In every line
of live stock effort the late maturing
has been voted improbable, with the
possible exception of the horse. The
beef, the sheep the hog and the COW
are all more valuable if they mature
early. Among fowls, the distinctively
egg breeds are considered to be very
early maturing, yet the writer has
known Plymouth Rock pullets born in
September to begin laying in 5H
months. There are many advantages
in early maturity. One of the most
important is the acquiring of the abil-
fy to produce eggs early in life. This
is the key to winter egg production,
getting the fowl to certain state of
maturity at a certain time. If prop
erly fed, hen cannot help producing
eggs when she reaches maturity. For
this reason, therefore, chicks should
be fed on nutritious and very disgesti-
BILE food, of which meat in some form
should constitute very considerable
part. The time between birth of the
chick and the development of its abil-
ity to produce eggs can thus be short
ened from a month to six weeks, which
often means several dozen more Of
winter eggs than would otherwise be
the case. Another reason for desiring
early maturity is that the chick may Is
soon as possible get beyond the period
of danger in it's Development Before
feathering and during that process,
the mortality among chicks is great.
After feathering the young fowl is
more able to endure changes of tenn
perature, and is apparently more able
to throw off disease. Previous to
feathering and while that process is
going on the constitution of the chick
is weak. 1t is, therefore, desirable to
get the young fowl beyond that period
as quickly as possible. The young Of
slowly maturing fowls draw out this
critical period till heat is intense and
lice and mites excessively abundant.
The chicks have the best chance for
development during the late months Of
early spring. The early maturing
breeds take advantage of this favor
able weather and are in condition to
stand the hot weather when it comes.
Early maturity is characteristic that
should be fixed in all the breeds,
whether they be for egg or meat pro-
duction. This can be done by judicions
selection of the early maturing fowls
and breeding with the above named OBJ
ject in view.-Farmers' Review.

ports Resulting from Wise
Trade Policy.

Most people We're looking for only
small excess in the governments re-
ceipts over its expenditures in the tis-
cal year 1908. The last of the war
taxes had been repealed, and that
source of revenue being removed, it
was natural to suppose that the gov
ernment's income would shrink con-
sderably. The falling off, though, has
been slight. The customs receipts are
larger than for the same time last year,
while the internal revenues for the
ten months just expired of the fiscal
year are only $35, 900 shorter than
they We're in the same time in the pre-
ceding twelvemonth. The surplus of
receipts over expenditures for theiten
months is slightly in excess of $685.
100000.
OF course, this. is result of the
business prosperity of the country,
says the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The people are buying more of every
thing than they were year ago. The
imports have increased, making, as is
we'll known, a much larger income for
the government from that source than
had been looked for. There has been a
large consumption of all.the articles on
which internal taxes are levied. These
circumstances make the calculations
of the leading experts of the country
regarding the governments probable
income vary widely from the facts.
From the present indications, the
surplus for the fiscal year will come
close to the S5O,0o0.oo0 mark. This
may incite attempts for further reduce
tons of the revenue next winter, but
it is safe to predict that nothing of
the sort will be agreed to. So long as
the present prosperity lasts there will
be large revenues, even from the pres
ent taxes, and the prosperity is like
ly to last several years more. But it
would be unwise to cut down the gov
ernment's income by legislation any
farther at this time. The tendency
of its outgo will be to increase. AS
the country grows in population and
in the number and extent of its activi-
ties. the cost of government will neces-
sarily expand. The present treasury
outlook is encouraging, but the sur
| plus is not large enough to be burden
some, and is not too large for safety.

This is the season for clipping

queens wing in all colonies to pre-.
vent swarms alighting in high trees
or from going to the woods. Use a
small pair of scissors, open the hive

the combs quickly, till you see the
queen, catch her by both wings With
the right hand, take her by the
shoulders between the thumb and

thin gauzy part off one wing and set
her back ON the comb, closing the
hive at once. AS soon as queen is
laying she may be clipped in safety
and no harm done. Never clip vir-
gin queen as mating is done in the
air, and if clipped she will never be
mated. Hence no harm is done after
she begins laying.-The Farmer.

Respect Him.

western democrat, who is United
States senator, said in WASHINGTON the
other day: at will be very difficult
for the democrats to nominate man
who can poll the full democratic vote
in the west against President Roose-
Welt"
In giving his reasons for holding
this view, the democratic senator
said: "a democra tic candidate for pres
ident would have to be as radical as
Bryan to hold the radical democrats,
and those democrats who are conserv-
ative would prefer Roosevelt and the
conservatism of his party to the con-
servatism of even Mr.. Cleveland.
elected by the radical party"
In other words, this democratic sem
ator believes that many of the demo-
Gratis who voted for Mckinley in 1896
and in 1900 will vote for Roosevelt in
1904, and, in addition, many of the
democrats who voted for Bryan in
1900 will vote for Roosevelt in prefer
ence to Cleveland in 1904.
In the view of this democratic SEN
ator the Bryan democrats will sup
port Mr.. Roosevelt, not because he rep
resents their views or their policies.
but because of his courage in attacking
trust evils. Many populists, it, is de-
clared, who left the Republican party
years ago will return because "Presi.
dent Roosevelt has restored confidence
in the republican party as a party Of
the plain people as we'll as of the rich
and powerful. He is the most popular
president we have ever had, so far as
popularity is based on confidence in the
courage as we'll as the integrity of q
great executive"
On the same day that this declara-
ton was made in Washington, former
State Senator Edwin Taylor. one of The
populist leaders in Kansas. said, in an
interviews: Between Wall street and
Roosevelt. I stand for Roosevelt. He
is our man for next years race. He is
not exactly our kind of people, but he
has courage. Kansas will give Roose-
Welt 100000 majority, but lots of the
Kansans who will vote for him will con-
tinue to hate his ideals"
If either of these interviews indi-
Gates a political tendency both are
significant. The conservative as we'll
as the radical democrats of the west,
the silver republicans, and the popu-
lists who We're formerly republicans
are represented, as facing toward
Roosevelt because they haveconfdence
in him even the most radical among
them supporting him because of his
conservatism and his courage in car
rying out his convictions.
These interviews We're given to the
public after the president had visited
many of the western states and had
met the people face to face, after lie
had made several notable speeches de.
fining his policy on the more impor,
tant questions now before the two po
litical parties.
Republicans, democrats and popu
| lists have heard or have read these
speeches. They know where Roose.

Protective Tariff Policy VIII Not Suf-
fer at the Hands of iowa
Republicans.

The Iowa idee," like every other
divergence in the republican party
from the protection policy, has gone
into retirement. The tariff plank
which will be a part of the Iowa repub-
lican platform has been supervised by
the able and experienced mind OF
United States Senator Allison. and
when submitted by the latter to the
inspection of United States Senator
Aldrich, the leading tariff expert in the
senate, has received the approval of the
latter senator. This ought to be sutfi-
Gent TO show that the protective policy
is not to be raped by the Iowa repub-
LEANS
1t is perfectly in order to leave all
attacks upon the tariff policy to the
democratic party, which has con-
sistent record for attacking every
thing which has conduced to the pros
perity of this country. The democrat
ic party will need some issue of mega
ton, and the republicans would just
as soon whip their competitors on the
question of the tariff. as has been done
so often before, as in any other con-
troversy. y
Republicanism without the idea of
protection of home industries would
certainly not be the republicanism of
Mckinley or Harrison or any of the
great leaders who have marshaled the
republican hosts to electoral victory.
