plumbers the people for the beneit Of
the protected trusts. Now the cleo
tion approaches and the Republican
tiatform and President Roosevelt
have both declared that protection
must be adhered to, the organs grind
out the same tunes.
The Chicago Inter Ocean Is per.
haps the most intensely partisan and
truly loyal Of all the Republican or.
gsns. yet II has evidently felt that
the G. o. p. must be stayed in its
wayward course of protecting the
few at the expense Of the many or
disaster TO the Republican party
would be inevitable. The editorial
referred TO shows that the Boosting of
President Roosevelt about our pros.
perity under Republican policies is
only for a part of the people and that
the majority are getting worse of
through the increased cost of living.
The Democrats have so often proved
these facts that 1t is an old tale and
thought by many to be exaggerated
for partisan purposes, but here comes
the bitter, biting blasts from this or.
gan Of protection which in a sane mo-
ment tells the truth when It says:
yet It may be doubted II one.half
the heads of American families are
in as favorable a position as they
were in 1897. The third party-the
majority who are neither capitalists
nor able to fortify themselves behind
labor union walls-is to-day giving
more proportionately than in 1897,
while getting only the same.
when capitalists combine to raise
prices, reduce expenses, or anticipate
profits 1t is this third party that pays
the higher prices. stands the reduc.
ton of expenses, and converts the an.
ticipated profits into actual ones"
It is well to ponder on that and
consider whence it came, to thorough.
ly understand the admissions of the
enormity of the crime that the Repub.
leans have fastened on those of lin.
tied incomes and then further consld.
er another paragraph from the same
deliverance:
The plain truth is that fully one.
half the workers OF the United States
the men whose incomes are from
5000 to $4,000 a year, the men who
are neither in trusts nor labor unions.
have not been getting their share of
the national prosperity. They are
working for the prosperity of capital
and organized labor, but no one is
working for them. And under this
burden they are becoming exhausted"
That is as the Inter Ocean says. the
plain truth" But the men who con.
troll the dominant party still shout,
Let well enough alone!" stand
pat!" Hands off,"

Coleseed, who had always been very
active with all sort of schemes. Al.
though his means were not large, ne

His wife was discussing with him
the sudden death of Herman Butler

him, my dear; II you were taken be.

then said: well, dear. ask the presi.
dents of the eight leading banks OF
Chicago. They have carried me all

The Greatest Treasure.


Recently a gentleman entered a
prominent bank in Berlin and said to
the cashier:
Il understand that you take charge
of title deeds, jewelry and other treas
ures, and, as l am about to start for
America and will be absent for some
time, wish to place in your hands
something very valuable and which,
II lost could not be replaced"
"All right, sir" was the reply.
Bring it here whenever you please. "
And will you take the greatest
possible care of it?" asked the gen.
tleman.
IN our hands it will be perfectly
safe" answered the cashier, for 1t
will be placed in box in our vault,
which no burglar can enter"
"Oh, that wouldn't do at ALL" ex-
claimed the gentleman, for it would
die without fresh air"
Fresh air?' cried the astonished
cashier, then, recovering his usual
self.possession, he asked: What is
the treasure which you intend to
place in our charger"

as a dye.
The neighborhood of Boston and of
Wisbech in Lincolnshire are the
places where the industry survives.
The seed is sown early in April, on
little embankments, and the plants
grow from three feet to four feet
high. The cultivation is laborious, as
the ground has to be weeded con-
stantly, and to do this men and wom-
en- work on their hands and knees.
The harvest goes on from August
tia November. the plants being pull
ed in a green state as they come to
their full hight. To insure their COM
ing on in relays the sowings are very
intermittent.
The juice is crushed out by heavy
wheels working in a trough, and is
peculiarly poisonous to other plant

dye for cloth is obtained in this way.

Farm Produce and ProteetIon.

The farmer who has been heguiled
into believing that the protective tar
III helps him obtain an enhanced
price for his produce, should remem-
Der that the farmer is an exporter and
not a manufacturer threatened with
imports. The farmer must have mar
kets abroad for he raises more than
the home market can consume. He
does not fear any competitor from a
foreign country, so what protection
can tariff on farm products give
him? No one is going to send wheat,
or meat, or corn, or cotton here to
compete with him. After he has sold
all the American people can consume
the surplus must find a market
abroad in competition with the sur.
plus Of other countries. Nearly al
ways, the price that the surplus
brings abroad fixes the price at home.
What the farmer needs is not a
protective tariff, but protection from
tho trusts, elevator combines and cor.
porations. High freight rates and
high trust prices for all the farmer
buys, eat up his profits and these
high freight rates and largely increas.
ed cost Of all he buys is mainly caused
by the protective tariff. Steel rails
and nearly everything the railroads
use are increased in cost one.third by
protection and, OF course the farmer
pays his share Of the bills. Farm ma.
chinery, tools, barbed wire, building
material, clothes and many more
articles that might be mentioned are
protected by the tariff SO that the
manufacturers can charge a great
deal beyond a reasonable profit. All
this, and more, the farmer pays and
still some otherwise sensible farmers,
vote for the party which Is openly in
league with those who plumber them.
Remember that the Republican ma
tional platform and state and con.
gressional district platforms pledge
the candidates to uphold the protec.
tive tariff, so no relief can be expected
from a Republican congress or a Re
publican president.
