THE FARM HOME SITE.
Many Errors in Judgment Are Ne
ticeable I'm the Selection OF
Farm Home Sites.

A drive through any part OF the
country will usually cause the observ-
er, If he has discernment for the Mt
ness of things, to wonder at the build
ing-sites that have been selected, or at
least are now occupied with farmers
home buildings. On the one hand may
be seen a dwelling situated at the foot
of slope, where it receives the drain
age from the higher ground, upon
which there are perhaps stables, sites
and stock yards, while the house
grounds and cellar are quite likely to
be impossible of good drainage. On
the other hand may be seen house
perched upon the topmost point OF
bluff or set into hillside, where the
tired housewife and weary workers
must climb by stairs or steep path
to and from their work thousands of
times yearly.
Some of these sites were no doubt
chosen at an early date, when the face
of the country was covered with tim
ber and underground, and before per-
manent roadways were determined up
on; but it is true, likewise, that the
same mistakes are being repeated with
recent locations, where ideal or much
superior sites were accessible within-a
stones throw on the same property
The reasons for such obvious errors in
Judgment are frequently not difficult
| to explain. The important main essen
tials have been lost sight of, or eciipsed
by something quite trivial in compari-
son, such as a convenient location for
a bank-cellar, nearness to brook, or
| favorite nook for garden.
The Importance of a right choice in
the matter of selecting site is almost
beyond estimate, often having direct
bearing upon the lives of number OF
generations.
The hygienic and sanitary conditions
should of course, have first thought and
count for most The convenience OF
approach and general accessibility
with a view to ease of labor, is another
weighty consideration, unless the
builder has ample means to provide
help and labor-savers sufficient to over
come such an objection. Another con
sideration of scarcely less importance
is that of beauty Of location and the
outlook of landscape and pleasan
views to be obtained. 1t is not Otter
necessary to choose a site on clifr
ridge or some other inaccessible plac'
to secure a pretty and picturesque 10
cation for a farm home. 1t is NOR
in studying the matter carefully OF
the ground, with the aid Of experiences
observers, who should have touch o
the artist in their makeup.
The selection of the outward styl
of buildings and material to be use
are also matters requiring skill, tacD
and good common sense, no matte

deners fare as against the competi-
ton of cheaper Canadian produce
sent over the line free of duty? How
would the border state farmers fare
who depend upon the home market
for their hay, oats, barley, poultry,
eggs, etc.?
The Democratic party would be lib
eral toward the Canadians who want
to sell their lumber, their coal, their
iron ores and their fish in the Amer
lean market. But how about the lum-
Der workers of Maine, Michigan, Wis
consin, Minnesota and Washington?
How about the coal miners OF North
Dakota, Montana, Wyoming and
Washington? How about the thou
sands of New England families who
are supported by the fishing indus

named would suffer sorely from the
unrestricted competition of cheaper
labor and lower market values in

cost the farmers of the United States
five billion dollars in four years.
Foreigners have reason to admire
Democratic liberality. There is not
foreign producing country in the
world to-day that would not rejoice
over a Democratic victory in the
election of 1904. Every one of them
knows that such a victory would
mean lower tariffs and the privilege
OF taking possession of the greatest
of the worlds markets. Americans,
however, have no such cause to well
come the advent of Democratic liber-
atty. The Democratic party never
yet passed tariff law that was lib
eral to American producers, and it
never will.

As Maine Goes.

The Republicans Of Maine, who are
right on the border and know just
what is involved in the proposition to
enter upon free trade with Canada in
natural products only, adopted the
following resolution at their state
convention in Bangor a few days ago:
"The Republican party stands for
the reciprocity of Blaine and Arthur
and Harrison and Mckinley and Ding
ley, which covers the interchange
with foreign countries of articles
which we do not produce, and our
own products needed in such coun'
tries. 1t opposes such reciprocity
with Canada as will flood our market
with Canadian lumber, fish, hay, 20.
tatoes and other farm products. as it
would seriously embarrass many OF
Names important industries and es-
pecially that of agriculture. Under
present arrangements our trade with
Canada is constantly increasing, with
the balance largely in our favor. We
believe in letting well enough alone"
GAS Maine goes, so goes the
Union," used to be said regarding ma
tional elections. The saying is true
to-day regarding reciprocity in COM
petitive products.

GREAT LIBERALITY
DEMOCRATS FAVOR LIBERAL
TRADE ARRANGEMENT.
They Are Always Extremely Liberal
to People of All Countries Except
ing Thoir Own When Entrusted
-. with the Responsibility Of Tariff
Making.

1--WE favor liberal trade arrange
ments with Canada and with peoples
of other countries where they can
be entered into with benefit to Amer
lean agriculture, manufactures, min
ing or commerce.-Democ plat
form, 1904"
Liberal to whom? Why, to the Ca
nadians and peoples of other coun-
tries, of course. The Democratic
party has an unbroken record of lib
erality to foreigners in the shape of
low duties and no duties on importa-
ton from foreign countries that COM
Gete with domestic production.
A liberal trade treaty with Canada,
for example, would mean free trade
in natural products only. Canada
has given ample notice that she will
not consent to free trade in, or even
to any reduction of tariff upon, manu-
features from the United States. So,
il the Democratic party is going to
be liberal in making a trade treaty,
it is restricted to the removal Of tar
III duties upon Canadian products OF
the farm, the fishery, the forest and
the mine.
The Democratic party would be lib
eral toward the growers of Canadian
wheat in enabling them to dispose of
their cheaper-grown crops across the
border instead of being obliged to
ship them to Liverpool. But what
about the wheat growers of the
United States who farm higher-priced
lands and pay double the Canadian
wages for farm labor-how would
they fare under this avalanche Of
cheaper wheat from the cheaper and
more productive soil OF the Canadian
Northwest? How wCald the New
England and New York market gar

some time ago the manufacturers CT
that country were commended for
their enterprise in forcing their goods
in foreign markets by cutting rates
on the ground that they were thus
enabled to keep their factories going
and to furnish employment to their
workmen. Instead of reviling the
manufacturers for such conduct, 1t
was held that it was sound economy.
and that the net result OF the pi ocess
was a lower rate to home consumers

Sound Economy.

The very fact that our manufac-

is a proof of the success of protection
in firmly establishing the iron and
steel industry. 1t has reached the POI
sition in which It can use foreign
trade as a sacrifice market in which

through the United States in bond
must not be allowed the preferential
tariff rates. That is protectionism
straight and square. It. gives the
preference to home ports, as it should
do. 1t is the policy Of the United
States, and no fault can be found with
it. If Canadians choose to pay the
higher cost of long railroad hauls to
the interior from the only open winter
ports of New Brunswick and Nova
Scotia, instead of cheaper hauls from
Portland, Boston and New York, that
is their privilege. That they elect
to do this, however, does not promise
well for reciprocity. Canada is learn
ing a thing or two.

Railroad Gains.

The gain in gross and net earnings
of many railroads for June was most
satisfactory and indicates that the
tide has again turned. The total
gross earnings of the Wabash road
was nearly 100000 more during
the fiscal year 1903 than the preced-
ing year. The passenger earnings
show a gain of 14.7 per cent. and the
freight earnings a gain of SIS per
cent.

Whv Chance III

The policy that has made the coun-
try prosperous beyond the widest
dream of the most sanguine a score
of years ago is that of a protective
tariff. If that policy is right why
change it? If it is wrong, we all
should shout for its abolition, but the
conditions, the facts and figures are
all in favor of it and against Mr.. Luck
ing's free trade policy.-Clinton Qnd,)

Hjuh Averaue,

There is constant increase in rail-
road mileage. According to the Rail-
way Age of Chicago the amount of
track laid during the first half Of the
year indicates that the mileage to
be constructed during the year will
approximate 5000. This, though not
equal to the new mileage of 1903, is
still above the average of protection
years, the average of low tariff years
being about LOO.
