farmer bears this open insult to his
intelligence. No human being in Min
nesota except the millers wants to buy
Canadian wheat for any purpose what
ever. We have millions upon millions
of bushels of our own to sell and have
to export it, The only market for
foreign wheat is that furnished by the
millers The tariff on wheat which
keeps this product out is said by Re
publicans to be for the benefit of the
farmers. 1t affects nobody but the
niIlers, since they are the only pro-
ducers. Yet these same Republicans
propose to abolish the tariff on wheat
as far as the millers are concerned,
which is to abolish it absolutely as far
as the state of Minnesota is concerned.
They will leave this item of the tariff
standing as an empty husk from which
they have dithdrawn the kernel
Was there ever a more daring hum
bug? How can any member of con-
gress have the face to present such a
suggestion to his associates and his
constituents? How. can he openly tell
the farmers that they are suckers and
fools, as he is obliged to do in this
whipping of the devil around the stump,
by at the same time maintaining and
abolishing the tariff on wheat?

cHicAeo DRAWS THE LINE.

With such names as Mrs. Potter
Palmer and the Letters in her direc-
tory, it was not to be. supposed that
a duke and a duchess would mean any
thing to Chicago zhoweyer much Chi
cago might mean to them. The an

Just why pork should take precedence
of iron 1--WE believe Zimmerman, pere,
made his money in iron), or why, rather,
pork should be exalted and iron ignored,
only Chicago can explain. and she
probably won't But the Manchester

Considered in connection with the
snubbing of the duke and duchess. the
revising of the charity BAH list which
has recently been accomplished there
assumes fresh significance Out of the
many who felt called to dance for
charity in Chicago. this winter, few
were chosen, and it has been given out
that these few even cannot all consider
themselves safe, that the list is to be
gone over once more. Easier hereafter
will it be for the pork packer to go
through the eye of needle than to
get into society in Chicago, if he has
nothing but his pork packing to recon-
mend him.
/ That nobody appears to know, ex-
9cept those who are doing the debating,
what the essentials are merely auQS
to the interest and seriousness of the
situations Family counts in Boston,
money in New York, but just what
Chicago demands in the way of an open
sesame it would be impossible to
guess. She cannot afford to decimate
her social ranks by demanding the
former and there is no need for her
to demand the latter. The main thing,
however, is that she is demanding
something and that Chicago society is
no longer to be the haphazard, i'll
regulated gathering that has eharac-
terized it in the past. For the pork
packer of the future it will distinctly
represent an achievement.

THE BRAzENNEss OF 1T

A thousand campaign arguments and
a library of tariff literature could not
expose the effrontery and humbug of
the protectionist position so thoroughly
as the effort now being made TO inter
pret the tariff provisions so that the
millers of the Northwest shall be able
want free of duty. Be it understood
that The e Clio e is not out of sym
pathy with the end proposed. 1t sees
no good reason why American enter
prise and American labor in any form
or in any. occupation should be taxed
for the benefit of a system that spells
monopoly. It would certainly of it's
own motion relax this tariff provision
against imports of wheat, because it is
utterly Intellectual as an aid to the
farmer and is a shackle upon manu-
featuring interests. But the brazenness
of the humbug in which Republicans
are exposed in their roundabout effort
to accomplish the same thing is
nauseating.
The Republican position is that the
tariffton wheat is for the benefit of the.
farmer. 1t is supposed to protect him
against Canadian competition, and so
to maintain the price of his product.
Either this is true or it is not. If it is
true, then the evasion of this duty or
its suspension in the interest of par
ticular class is precisely the same out
rage upon the farmer that its repeal
would be. From this dilemma there
is no escape.
Now Minnesota's representatives in
congress are committed to the position
that the tariff on wheat is for the
farmers benefit, and that it could not
be abolished without placing them at
the mercy of the Canadian producer.
At the same time these men have
among their constituents a very large
and powerful milling industry that
demands relief. It desires to be able
to buy Canadian wheat; first for the
purpose of mixing with American
grades, and, second, to make up for
short supply. The mills already have
the right to bring in this wheat under
the bonding privilege, manufacture it
into flour and export the product with
out payment of duty. So far as they
avail themselves of this right the duty
is already abolished.
But this is not enough. All of them
want this privilege without the red
tape of the bonding business. More
over, under the law as it stands, the
by-products, bran, shorts and other
stuff besides flour, must also be ex-
ported before they are sold unless duty
is paid. They want the privilege of
selling these products. also, in the home
market That is to say they wish the
absolute repeal of the tariff on wheat
as far as they are concerned. This is
what it has. been proposed to do by
direct legislation, and what timorous

 merous, Causing Some
 Startling Advances.
 
ROCK ISLAND TO RE TRtNCH

New York, August 16.-The upward movement of prices encountered effective obstacles in todays stock market after over yesterdays advances. The reaction pretty effectually wiped out the advances, and carried the average level a fraction below last night.
 The course of the market was by no means decided without contest between the speculative forces. The profit taking which met the opening advances invited some determined support, indicated by the very large blocks absorbed of Union Pa oifc, Southern Pacific, Pennsylvania and St. Paul and the rapid rally in those stocks. The supporting tactics in Union Pacific at one time carried 1t shade above par, but the sentimental effect on this movement upon the general list was decidedly neutralized by the dragging ten dency of United States Steel preferred.
 The feversh and irregular fluctuations of the Metropolitan fractions throughout the day completed the unsettlement of speculative sentiment and resulted in an important shrinkage in the volume of the dealings The professional leadership of the market seemed inclined to acquiesce in the reaction by admitting that 1t was normally due after the extensive rise in prices which has occurred. The special weakness of United States Steel preferred was clearly due to the anxiety over the market position for finished steel which makes the maintenance of association price precarious.
 Holders of the steel stocks were disposed to see special danger to the market for steel products in the spread of labor trou- bles in the building trades. Reports reach ed Wall street of plans for further re- auction of working forces by the Penn sylvania and Rock Island systems, which pointed to further retrenchment in the railroad world in general.
 The rise in the Rock Island issues was alleged to be due to the good corn pros poets. The bulletin pointed out some de- terioration in the condition of cotton, but the rise in Louisville and Nashville was apparently an offset to this influence.
 Reports from many sources of spring wheat damage continued very numerous. Sugars drop followed the report of a reduction In It's refined products. Interior exchanges are turning gradually against New York foreshadowing the crop move ment demand for money. But the New York money market Is totally unruffled as yet.
