REPUBLICAN ACHIEVEMENTS

e. NJ. Probasco was chairman Of
the Appanoose county republican
convention which met at Centerville
last Saturday. On taking the chan
he delivered a genuine republican ad
dress. Following are some of his u
terances:
Under the policy Of the republic

FARMERS AND TARIFF.


ty are always telling the farmers OF
the United Safes how they are being
robbed by the protective tariff policy
of the republican party, says the OF
tumwa Courier. These calamity
howlers tell them that they are being
forced to pay more for their manufac-
tured goods and that they are being
deprived of worldwide market for
their products. However, so often
has the falsity of their doctrines been
proven that the agriculturists of this
country have generally come to dis
believe these statements and as re-
suit the great majority of them re-
fuse to support those candidates who
advocate free trade policies.
The American farmer has come to
realize that the protective policy Of
the republican when applied to the
national administration of affairs not
only protects him from competition
with the products raised by cheap Ia
Dor of other countries, but insures
him a greatly enlarged home market
for the things he has to sell. This
condition is made possible by the
universal employment of American
labor at American prices, giving to
the laboring people of the country
money with which TO buy the pro-
| ducts Of the American farms, The
free trade orators also forget to tell
| their former friends that with the
prosperity of the industrial employees
and as a natural sequence comes an
increase in property values in which
the farmers share. That such is the
| case is shown in various instances
that in these days are constantly
coming to notice.
| During the last democratic or free
| trade era, mills and shops were shut
down or run with a greatly reduced
force. Millions of men We're out OF
work farm values were exceedingly
low, but with all this there were few
instances where a farmer made a
| deal to buy a farm. Even those who
| did attempt it, were forced to mort
gage their property and with the low
prices paid for their, products were
unable to more than keep the inter,
est on the mortgage paid.
To-day, how different are the con-
| ditions of the Iowa farmer. During
the years since William Mckinley
was elected and the protective tariff
put in operation, mortgages have
been paid off, farm values have in.
creased and just recently two Wapel-
10 county farmers were in Ottumwa
making arrangements to purchase
farms for which they paid 800 per
acre. These farms were in opposite
parts of the county and was land
which ten years ago would have
brought scarcely $50 or $40 per acre,
even had there been a buyer. In
other parts of the state like prices
are being paid for agricultural lands,
a farmer of Montgomery county re
Gently securing a tract of land for
which. he paid s110 per acre.
When under democratic free trade
administration did the farmers buy
or sell land for any prices which any
where nearly approached these. II
was not so in Iowa a decade ago. II
is not any wonder that the farmers
of the United Staes are friends OF
the republican protective policy ana
that they refuse to work their own
ruin by supporting free trade yaga-
ries.

countries OF the world, and the

people are the natural results OF
the practical operation Of the prin-
eiples advocated BY the republican
party
In ever struggle for liberty or
unien, it is the proud record Of the
republican party that it has ali
ways been found on the side OF
freedom and the Republic.
In every movement along the
line 81 progress, in every step taxi
en- BIZ this government toward the
advancement Of the lnerests or
the common people. the republican
party has been the moving factor.
Employment Of American labor,
the investment of American capt.
til and the busy hum of American
manufactures at home and a
market for manufactured goods
abroad Is the policy Of the repub-
liean party.
Free trade has been tried, not
only by countries abroad, and
whose examples we have no desire
TO emulate, but in our own coun-
try. And the experience derived
from that policy naturally calls to
mind its concomitants, free soup,
and Coxie's armies.
There is no statement in the fore
going that will not bear scrutiny an
analysis. 1t is an admirable sum
mary of the gratifying results Of re
publican craftsmanship and a clea
