The Farmers Prosperity.

For the American farmer to con-
tfnue his prosperity by continuing the
market at home, where he must sell
his products if they are to be sold
at his advantage, the American fac
tories, which take 80 per cent. of their
raw material from the American farm,
must be kept open and the 100000
operatives in those factories whom
the American farmer feeds must be
kept employed. So for all the Amer
lean people to continue their prosper
ity the American home market must
be maintained. 1t can be maintained
and always will be, when we keep
our own wage earners at work, giving
them the money with which to buy
American articles of commerce in the
home market. 1t cannot be main
tanned if this country takes the prod
uct of foreign wage earners, the tariff
barrier being leveled, in place of that
of our own wage earners, who must
quit their employment when the
cheaper made output of the foreigners
may come here to undersell the Amer
ican-made output of our own mills and
factories and shops.
The American people will determine
this choice for themselves when they

Useless Contention.

1t Is a waste of words for Edward
Atkinson, the New York Journal of
Commerce, and other worshipers at
the shrine of Richard Golden to en-
force the contention that unrestrict-
ed commercial intercourse between
the States and Territories OF the
American Union has been of great
advantage to the people of the United
States. OF course it has. Nobody
disputes the proposition But does
it follow that because free trade
among our own people has been a
good thing, therefore free trade with
all the world would be as good a thing
for Americans? Far from it. Produc-
ton in any part of the United States
necessitates the employment of Amer
lean labor, the payment of wages to
Americans and the distribution Of
these wages among Americans. When
free trade opens the gate and admits
to our market competitive produc-
lions from abroad, precisely the re-
verse is true. Foreign labor is en-
ployed, wages are paid to foreigners,
and the money of Americans goes
abroad instead of being kept at home.
That is the difference between free
trade between our own people and
free trade with foreigners.

they want to be doing something

want to talk loudly and receive APP
plause from unthinlking men.
Why not let well enough alone?
Business has been SO good that Wall
Street could not throw the country
into a panic. The land never expert
enced anything like it before. Iowa
was never so prosperous. Her farms
are glowing. Her factories are run
ming. Her railroads are busy. Her
schools and colleges are booming Why
stop it all by new policies and uncer-
tainties? Give old Iowa a chance.
We ought to have as much sense in
prosperity as we had in adversely.
When our people were in adversely
they all knew what was the matter.
They know that they simply needed
somebody to buy in order to put men
to work. Why struggle for a change?

Trade got around to the farmer. Fin
ally the lack of employment reduced
the farmers market and farm prod
ucts went down in price because the
American farmer was depending en-
tirely upon the foreign market for the
sale of his largely increased surplus.
For time the farmer smiled at the
manufacturer under the Cleveland ad-
ministration. Everything he bought
went down in price and the effect not
having reached him, he concluded that
the ideal condition of trade for the
Free Trader had arrived. He conclud-
ed that his life was to be one long
sweet song. But finally the paralysis
of business in manufacturing indus
tries reached him and he concluded
that it was not all that had been paint
ed. He began to study the question.
He finally decided that his home mar
ket was best, and that his home mar
ket depended on the full employ
ment of the workingman. And he con-
Guided that the full employment of the
workingman depended on a Tariff
high enough to keep out foreign made
goods.
During the last Cleveland admins
tration everything was PROSTATE.
Since that time every railway bridge,
every railway track, every railway
station, every viaduct, nearly every
public building, nearly every college
and church, nearly every court house,
nearly every school house, has been
rebuilt The rotten ties have been
taken out of the railway tracks.
Grades have been lowered, long lines
have been Strengthened. The farms
have been equipped with new houses
and barns, new scales and new ele-
vators. Every city has had new sew
ers and new sidewalks. Practically,
during the past eight years, every
thing in the United States has been
rebuilt
Yet there are people who want to
change all this. They want to stop
it ALL They want to rip everything
up. They want lower prices They
are revengeful. They want to strike
the steel trust and to hit the Standard
Oil monopoly. Many of them do not
know what they want, but they simply
want to destroy. They want to stop
the saw mills and the rolling mills.
They want to turn the workingmen
out on the streets for the lack of some

AS TO STANDING PAT
WHY NOT, IF 1T IS THE BEST
THING TO DOT
The Main Point to Be Kept In Mind
Is That There Shall Continue to Be
Sure Market for All Products of
American Labor and Industry.

A lowering of import duties on man
lfactured goods means a surrender of
an American market, or large part
of it. to the people of other lands. The
surrender of the American market
would mean less employment and low
er wages and that the workingman
would not have sufficient wages to en-
able him to buy the best products of
the farm. With low wages he would
cease to be consumer of beef. With
lower wages he could not purchase
chickens, butter and eggs. Lower
schedules in the American Tariff
would be Observation-Disclosures the
lower schedule were introduced by
the Republican party or the Demo
cratic party.
There is nothing the American man
ufacturer so much needs as a Gus
toner. He can manufacture all he
pleases, and if he does not have some
one to buy his product he will go into
bankruptcy. The beauty of the Ding
ley Tariff is that it assures the Ameri-
can manufacturer of a consumer.
Manufacturers do not have sufficient
capital to take the risk of making
goods without knowing in advance
that somebody is going to have the
means with which to buy
The Dingley law has made the stock
and corn growers of Iowa rich. 1t has
furnished these producers with a
thrifty class of workingmen, in the
manufacturing centers, to buy the sur
plus products of the farm. The work
ingman out of job is of no sort of
help to the farmer. This was illus
trated during the last Cleveland adj
ministration- There were plenty of
men to work, but 10 work to do.
Cleveland had been in office nearly
a year before the evil effects of Free

Japanese Surgeon Recommends Use
of Clean Fighting Garb.
DR.. Wada, staff surgeon in the jap
anese navy, who was in charge of the
provisional field hospital in Chemulpo,
to which the seriously wounded Rus
sian sailors were taken, already has
drawn one medical lesson from the
war. He attended a number of Rus
sian sailors wounded on the Variag,
and says:
1.-THE experience has emphasized
one thing, which 1 am going to write
to my government about. In many
cases the fragments of shells had car
ried with them pieces of clothing
which often caused suppuration of the
wounds before they could be extracted.
To avoid that, as far as possible. 1
am going to propose that it be made
a rule in our navy that every man
when a fight is expected shall have
his body well washed and his clothes
disinfected.
Happily it is a rule with our men,
in the army as well as in the navy,
always to go to battle in their newest
and c1eanest uniforms. This is not
for any sanitary consideration, but it
works the right way all the same. We

ways fight like gentlemen, we also

He Was a Hero.

Speaking of great civil war stories.
Miss Ada Sweet, when in Denver re-
Gently, told the following:
Her father, Gen. Sweet of Chicago,
was taking his regiment into action.
He sent forward a detail of men to
make gaps in a rail fence to avoid the
heavy loss sure to result if the whole
body of men paused to tear it down.
The coolest and finest man in the
detail was young soldier who had
never been under fire before. When
he began pulling down the fence he
disturbed a nest of hornets, and they
sang fiercely about his ears. But the
lad was not going to run from hor-
nets when there was more serious
business ahead.
Ignoring the angry insects, he
opened the fence and rejoined the
regiment without being stung.
After time he was appointed Sec
ond lieutenant and called on Gen.
Sweet to thank him.
But" he said, modestly, "I don't.
think 1 deserve promotion over the
Others"
my boy" replied the general, ..I
saw you pull down that fence. You
were the coolest man under fire I ever
sawi"
The man gasped, stared and turned
pale.
Good Godi" he exclaimed, losing
all caution and grammar. WAS them

is not given to swell affairs and is

the slightest emphasis on "bouillon."

thought the cup was tea and probably

CHILD'S LOVE FOR FATHER.
Typical Expression of An Affectionate

Typical Expression of An Affectionate
Daughter.
Hand-in-hand they wandered among
the posies of New England garden,
father and his little girl, and the Sab
bath peace was over all.
The father was a clergyman of the
old school, and that morning he had
preached to the quiet country folk Of
the wrath of God, and the tortures of
hell, and the fearful punishment and
retribution which a just and angry
God sends upon the children Of men
The little girl had listened thought
fully as he preached long and earnest
ly of the wrath of God and the tor
ments of the damned.
The clergyman returned to his home
and walked with his little girl among
the flowers in his garden. He loved
her very dearly, and he plucked the
sweetest flowers and gave them to her
and kissed her, and led her footsteps
with the gentleness and tenderness of
fatherhood.
Suddenly the little one looked up
into his face. Dear papa" she said
wistfully, 81 wish God was as good as
you are!"

The international Trust.

Under the free trade policy, which
Democrats favor, the only survivors
among our American industries would
be those powerful would-be monopo-
lists which usually control the most
profitable plants. These would then
be in a position to safely unite with
their brethren in other lands in the
creation of a universal trust to domf-
nate the affairs of mankind. That this
is no idle dream is shown by the fact
the wires transmitted a synopsis of
the speech of Senator Dolliver they
brought also the news of q secret
meeting in London of the great steel
manufacturers of the world to form,
in the steel trade, a new trust of ex-

PURE BLOOD-GOOD HEALTH.
No Disease Exists Where There Is
Good Blood.

Keep your vitality above the mega
tive condition, and you will never
know disease of any kind. No disease
can exist where there is an abundance
of pure blood. To get the necessary
amount eat nutritious food; to circu-
late it perfectly take proper exercise;
to purify it get fresh air and sunlight.
If perfectly healthy condition of the
skin exists and an even temperature
of the surface of the body is main
tanned it is impossible to catch cold.
Cold water baths taken every day will
do much toward producing the for
mer; proper food and exercise the
latter. Nature gives you an alarm
in the first chilly feeling. Heed it
at once or pay the penalty. Take a
brisk walk or run, breathe deeply and
keep the mouth closed.
If you are SO situated that you can
do neither, as in a church, lecture
room or street car, breathe deeply,

Escaped With Spells Of War.

ssThat reminds me- said Shorty, "of
another " est Virginia story. 1 was
born and raised in the wild country
along the south branch of the Poto-
mac. The habitation of Ishmael kee-
gy, q neighbor of ours, had been In
the years before the war a way sta
ton on the underground railroad.
When the war came the family, con-
sisting of wife, grown son and daugh-
ter, was under suspicion However,
the Keegys were Scotch-1rish, and
were Unioinists, and didn't care a corn
cob who knew it. One evening the
daughter, Micah, noticed as she was
going to the springhouse, five horse
men, all armed, coming toward the
house.
"She OWNED at once that they were
coming for her brother, Nabor, who
was waiting for her at the spring
house. Given warning, Nabor swung
himself into the loft of the spring
house just as the five stalwart young
rebels rode up Miss Keegy knew
them, and, after some conversation,
invited them into the house. They
left their guns and horses at the
fence and went to the house for sup
per. Micah, under pretense of going
to the springhouse for butter, explain
ed to Major that she would keep the
young men there, dosing them with
applejack, if he would cut out with
the horses and rifles.
"Nahor acted on the advice. and
Micah kept the 'rebs' in the house
until several shots were fired in the
woods. Then, seeing that their horses
and guns were gone, they scattered
in the woods to escape what they be-
ieved was the enemy in force. Ma
hor, finding that he could not manage
five guns and five horses, had thrown
four of the guns into burning brush
heap, thus producing the volley that
frightened the 'rebs.' He rode all
night and reached the Union lines
the next morning with five as fine
horses as could be found in the state.
These horses became the nucleus of
one of the best cavalry companies in
the service."-Chicago Inter Ocean.
