high protective tariff of about so cents
a bushel on our wheat and correspond
ingly high on other cereals. There IS
such an embargo laid upon our meat
products as to practically bar the im-
portation of the American hog. France.
Canada and Russia have also high
tariff on our products, and England
is now proposing a tariff to put SO cent
per bushel on our wheat. 1t must I
apparent to anyone that the Unit
States must do something to open
our markets for cereal and farm r =
ducts. While the exports of manu-
tured goods from the United States = E
now large. the great bulk of exports "
and for long time hence will ne
products Of the farm, and we mr-9 ise
our protective tariff as bar to pry
open the doors of foreign commerce.
This country has the power II 1t will
use it. l would go to Germany and say,
you may bring your steel products into
the United States at reduced duty
if you on the other hand will give US
preferential right to ship grain and
farm products into your country. The
effect OF this would be, first, to re-

charges of the monopolistic steel trust.
1t would give US cheaper barbed wire,
cheaper nails. cheaper structural iron.
cheaper railroad rails, and at the same
time would open up market in Ger
many for the surplus wheat and meat
products of this country. I would go
after France and Rushia and other
countries upon the same basis. trading
off the schedules on the articles which
no longer seriously need protection for
markets for the great cereal and meat
products of this country. II the people
of the United States will pursue this
policy as firmly believe they will, the
next ten years will witness her the
commercial queen OF nations. The
ships OF commerce bearing the stars
and stripes will be unloading our pro-
ducts in the ports of every civilized
nation of the world, and we will at
tain that commercial supremacy which
I believe the God OF nations designed
for u.s.

says Mr. Sabin. God Is not a stand
patter. He has so fashioned the world
that constant change is the order Of
the day. All nature is a panorama of
continual change. Conditions change
from year to year in all parts OF the
world and among peoples. The people
OF the United States dare not stand
still and say that they have done all
that is necessary. We must be a pro-
gressive nation in all things"
Senator Dolliver stated in his speech
delivered in Des Moines last week
something which did not appear in his
printed speech. 1t was to the effect that
in his belief the great steel trust is al
ready fast going TO pieces and 1t will
not last long no matter what the laws
may be. He plainly predicted an early
crash and spoke words Of warning be-
cause of that impending crash. He
suggests that 1t may be disastrous TO
many interests when corporation
with Thousand employees goes down.
for many thus will be dragged down
with 1t.
The long standing cases OF Tyndale
Palmer against John Mahin and the
Muscatine Journal have come to an
other head in the federal courts and the
plaintiff has secured judgment aggre-
eating $500. These suits grew out OF
the publication of statements in some
news matter furnished in plate form
by syndicate. which was published IN
IL number of newspapers without intent
TO do any harm. and in fact without
knowledge OF the character Of the
matter. The suits have been pending
many years and Palmer has followed
the matter persistently to the end to
secure money because of the puhlica-
tions. Palmer formerly lived in Wash
lngton, Iowa, but Is now in New York
CITY. where he Is engaged in other pro-
