A BARGAIN for farmers.
J an. !, 1904.

The New York Tribune Farmer.
a national illustrated agricultural
weekly of twenty lrge illustrated
pages, has no superior as a thorough
ly practical and helpful publication
for the farmer and every member of
the family, and the publishers are
determined to give it circulation
unequalled by any paper in the
United States. {.
Knowing that every eDterprisinp.
up-to.date farmer always reads his
own local weekly newspaper, The
New York Tribune Farmer has
made an exceedingly liberal arrange
ment which enables us to offer the
two papers at so low price that no
farmer can afford to lose the oppor-
tunity.
The price OF The New York Trib-
une Farmer is 81 co year and The
Ceredo ADVANCE s1.O0 a year, but
both papers will be sent for a full
year If you forward s1.3O to The
ADVANCE, Ceredo, w. Va.
Send your name and address to
The New York Tribune Farmer.
New York City, and a specimen COPY
of that paper will be mailed to you.

speech was devoted to eulogy OF the
policy of protection.
Then he turned his attention TO the
Democracy and its views OH the pro-
lection policy. For more than sixty
years. he said. that party had de-
nounced protection ms robbery. and
though there were leaders of the De
mocracy who expressed modified
views, the speaker who came out rad
ically i'm favor of free trade was the
one who obtained the widest Demo
cratic applause. He said the Demo
cratic demand that the Democracy be
given control of the government re-
minded him of Aesop's fable of the
wolves who asked the sheep to dis
charge the dogs who protected the
sheep and install in their places the
wolves.
Labor strikes, he said were not the
result OF deficits but OF profits. Re-
ferring TO the trusts, he said they un-
doubtedly existed but the Republican
party would see that no man or com
bination was above the law. and would
not only enact the necessary legislation
TO crush the harmful kind. but would
enforce that legisla ton. III have an
equal opportunity before the law. and
all must obey II. Our civilization is
built upon obedience TO the law" he
said.
The people of the United States, he
said, have far greater wealth than any
other people on earth. All the alleged
trust properties produced only 10 per
cent. of the products OF the country in
1900. while independent producers
were responsible for the other ~ per
cent. and competition after all. regu-
lates production and price.
He referred to anarchism as an i'm
ported blight. and in this connection
paid "A warm tribute TO the late presi-
dent Mckinley; said that the present
president had pledged himself TO con-
tinue the policies OF his predecessor.
and had kept that promise nobDy.
Closing. he made Il reference 10 Cuba

thus:

TACKLES THE TRUST QUESTION
Tells what Has Been Done Under Repub-
Iican Administrations.

Ican
Coming TO the subject of trusts he
said: -Four years ago the regulation
binations called trusts" stood sub
stantially where ii was when the Sher-
man antitrust act of 1890 was passed.
At every election, the regu-
lation of trusts had been the foot
ball of campaign oratory and the sub
ject of many insincere declarations.
Our Republican administration has
taken up the subject in practical,
sensible way as Il BUSINESS rather than
political question, spying what il
really meant, and loins what lazy at
its hand To be done 10 accomplish eff
fective regulation"
He enumerated three practical stat
utes passed by congress and said: In
separate suits fourteen of the great
railroads of the country have been re-
strained by injunction from giving H.
legal rebates TO the favored shippers.
The beef trust was put un-
der injunction. The officers OF the
railroads engaged in the cotton carry
ing pool. affecting all that great in
dustry of the south, were indicted and
have abandoned their combination.
The Northern Securities company,
which undertook by combining in one
ownership the capital stocks OF the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
railroads TO end traffic competition in
the Northwest, has been destroyed.
The right of the interstate com
merce commission To compel the pro-
duction of books and papers has been
established by the judgment of the
Supreme court i'm a suit against the
coal carrying roads. Other suits have
been brought and other indictments
have been found and other trusts have
been driven back within legal bounds.
He then referred to the war against
the cattle range land grabbers, against
land frauds, against denudation of
forests retaining of arid lands, the
Improvement of the mail service, work
for the benefit Of the farmer such as
crop infOrmatiOn the oleomargarine
act and protection against animal and
plant diseases. e
