An exchange says: Eve feel sorry
for the man who does not read his
home paper. He is no better than a
man without country. He is like a
homeless cow that has no regular pas
ture, but grazes promiscuously on
weeds and thistles. No matter what
other papers he may read, the straight
forward citizen always insists on hav-
ing his home paper"

POOLING THE FARMER.
Roosevelt's Letter Drops Into the
Old Republican Pretense. ,

The Republican party has for years
been trying to delude the farmer and
the w0rkingman into the belief that
the present tariff makes them better
OF; that is, that it makes the American
wage Garner or farmer richer TO pay
heavy taxes-taxes on all that he
wears. his tools, on his agricultural
machinery, on the nails and wood that
go into his house, his bed, his table
and his coffin, on his swaddling clothes,
his wedding garments ard his shroud.
1t is pure p%retense that fifty-two
per cent. of tn. American farmers
crops are used as the manufacturers
raw material. 1t is characteristic of
the Presidents letter CT acceptance
that he does not say tina. raw cotton
makes more than half of the products
of the farm used in this way, and there
is no reason why this fact should have
been omitted unless the assertion
would have made the whole statement
ridiculous.

The New York Times, in q triple
loaded editorial, attacks Chairman Cor

Committee, for his fat-frying methods
and declares that, with the aid Of Sen

tive Of the trusts in the Senate. and
declares the trusts mea to buy the
President. Says the Times:
Concrete instances are more impress

ciple. Here is one Chairman Cortel-
you goes to one of the officers OF q large
corporation, and informs him that the
Republican National Committee ex-
poets a substantial contribution from
his company. The officer in question
is surprised; he is not of Mr.. Roose-
velt's party; neither he nor his corpora
ton has been accustomed TO NEEDLE
with politics; he asks for time to think
it over. In the solitude of his office
his thoughts run in this wise: l do
not want to give money to the Repub-
lican National Committee. But | am
trustee OF the interests of the stock
holders Of this corporation. l may
soon have to appear before this man
as a representative of my corporation

Professor wyckor, of Princeton Uni

account for his tariff vagarles and de-
clares that the industrial prosperity
Of this country has been achieved in
spite of protection. and at the cost Of
i%ncalculable evils consequent upon pro-
lection.
The voter should decide II be is sat
isied with the greatly increased cost
Of living. which the protective tariff

brought about. Another anomaly over
which thoughtful voters should ponder
in the workings Of this wonderful
prosperity producer-the tariffs that
tarlf-fostered trusts sell cheaper to
foreigners than TO voters OF this coun-
try who pay the taxes to preserve the
very thing that gives them the worst

STRONG CASE N POINT.
Atlantic Seaboard workmen Get No
Advantage From Increased Cost
of Their Productions

Frederick Seymour. a Democratic
lawyer. nominated for Congress in
New Jersey. in his letter OF acceptance
makes a practicsl plea for the Issues
raised by his party. addressing himself
directly TO tradesmen aud working men
OF New Jersey.
With the statement that the interests
OF New Jersey are largely manufacture
Ing he asserts that ''in common with all
the seaboard States it Is hard hit by
our present tariff on raw materials
which enter into she various processes
OF domestic industry and on articles
partly made ap. which are virtually
raw materials. and on animals and
foods.
After pointing out the various arti-
cles adversely affected by the tariff he
turns TO the relations Of the tariff to
the labor question. pure and simple.
with this interesting and irrefutable
argument:
'gsae labor question and the tariff are
closely connected, but IN a very differ
ent way from what cur opponents say.
While nc Federal law can directly raise
wages, the Federal Government can as
certain the facts. and can make plain
the general principles to be derived
from them. and can settle to the ac-
ceptanee OF all men that raw materials
and coal are dearer on the Atlantic
coast than In the great interior manu-
featuring centres, that the seaboard is
the best place to manufacture for the
export trade. that the cost of labor in
manufactured products is less in the
United States than anywhere else in
the world, that the tariff on most man.
ufactured goods is twice and. in many
Instances. four times the cost Of labor
in the product. that the tarlff is Excess
siye and injurious, that it is the direct
cause of part-time work in our factor
les, that the cost of living is increased
by the tariff. and that the increased
cost of manufactured goods does not go
TO labor. aHa having established these
facts may publish them"

Mr.. Hearst concludes his ringing call
to the clubs to get into line and work
hard for the success Of the Democratic
National ticket, in these words:
"We Democrats hold now, as we did
one hundred years ago, 10 the doctrine
