A strong sentiment has de

a dog tax. The streets are
filed with dogs without owners
which prey upon the city, and
now that the fences are coming
down and yards are needing pro

tax on all dogs in the city is
being seriously considered.

which is engaging attention also.

A PRACTICAL QUESTION

For the first ten months of the current
fiscal year the export of manufactured
goods, according to reports recently Sent
out from Washington, exceeded in value
the exports for the corresponding period
last fiscal year by nineteen million dol
lars.
This means that the manufacturers Of
the United States are able at the present
abnormal cost of manufacture to sell their
products in foreign markets in competl'
ton with foreign manufacturers.
Why, then, is it necessary for the pro-
lection of American manufacturers against
foreign competition at home for the gov
ernment to levy a high tariff tax on for
eign imports9
The American citizen reads and thinks
for himself, and he is asking himself this
interesting question. 1t is a question that
will be asked time and again during the
present campaign, provided only the
Democrats take an honest stand for tariff
reform, and it is question that the Re-
publicans must face and answer to the
satisfaction of the voters, or the Republic
cans will be turned out of Office and the
Democrats put in. It is a glorious oppor-
tuulty for the national Deuocracy.-Rich-
mond Times Dispatch.
Yes, it is thoroughly practical question,
and one which free trade Democrats do

The Wheat for the World
Philadelphia Press.

Philadelphia Press.
There has been an extraordinary decline
in the wheat exports of the United States
during the past year. At no previous
spring season for a quarter of century
has this country sold go little wheat to Eu-
rope as it is shipping there today. The
Old World is feeding itself This crop
years exports from the United States will
amount to about 190,000,000 bushels,
which is nearly 75,GOO,OUO below the fig
ures for last year and more than 100000
900 bushels under the great record Of
1902.
A most interesting fact in relation to
wheat is that other countries are steadily
going forward with their production. The
high price of this staple here has acted as
a powerful stimulant to the farmers in Ar
gentine, India and Australia. To these
nations the bread-buyers of Europe now
turn. Argentine last year exported much
more than half its crop, and these exports
amounted to nearly half as much as the
shipments this year from the United
States. And It has under cultivation only
a tenth of its available lands.
On the Yast plains of India, where labor
is cheap, wheat is grown for good deal
less than it costs to produce it in America.
And this year the dusky race on the other
side of the globe has sown 5000, 900 acres
more in wheat than WAS ever planted there
before. Australians crop is steadily becom-
ing greater factor in the universal bread
supply, while Russia stands only second to
the United States as a grower Of wheat.
Every once in a while scientist arises
to state that some day the races of the
earth will expire of starvation. Just now
the great haryests in the remote portions
of the globe and the tendency to increase
their yields OF wheat far beyond the needs
of home consumption seem to prove that
the worldwide bread famine must be in
definitely postponed.

A waste Of ssOO,OOO,OOO
Philadelphia Press.

Philadelphia Press.
The Agricultural Department at Wash
ington figures that it costs the farmers Of
this country $3.50, 100000 year to move
thrir products to the railway stations This
lie mighty sum and offers good basis for
economy by reducing the cost of transport
tation. This can be done by road I'M
provement. If good roads were universal,
if the dusty, miry, rutty rough, ill-graded
roads were abolished and smooth, we'll
graded, improved roads substituted the
cost of transporting products on the high
ways Of the country would be cut down
two thirds. This would be equivalent to a
cash distribution among the farmers of the
country of over 5000, 900, 900 annually, as
it would diminish their present outlay by
that sum.
This is a striking demonstration of the
money value OF good roads to that class
which uses them most and is most DEEPEN
dent upon them. The farmers look at the
cost OF building good roads and at their
share of the cost and many of them con-
cider nothing else. That good roads will
connect them with their market at all sea-
sons of the year, without interruption (;
that it will increase the capacity of all
their wagons and the drawing power OF all
their horses that it will decrease the cost
of getting their products to market on the
average two-thirds, as the Agricultural De-
partment estimates, are points the farmers
who oppose the good roads movement be-
cause of the increase of their taxes do not
sufficiently consider.
With State and county aid, the cost OF
improved roads to the farmer is reduced to
fraction OF the total cost, willie the ben
eft comes to him without diminution or
reduction. 1t is not the railroads that eat
up the farmers profits, but the mud roads.
Give the farmer rapid, smooth and easy
transit on improved roads from the farm
to the railway station and be will at once
begin to get reIat on the 5000, 600, OOO
now wasted by him on bad roads.

Panama's Wise Psecautlon
Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution.
No little credit must be given to the re-
public of Panama for her wisdom in hand
ling the SlO,OOO,OOO paid by this govern
ment for the canal zone privileges. 1t
IVES freely predicted that factional fights
would arise over the distribution and
spending of the fund, and that revolutions
would probably ripen rapidly after the
payment. But Panama has adopted the
plan of the small boy who takes couple
of pennies from each nickel that comes
into bis possession and plants them with
his mother "to keep for him." Panama
has, probably inspired by the same mo-
tives that prompt the small boy, decided
to ask ]. Perpont Morgan & Co. to keep
$4,000, 600 of the 10000, 900 fund for her.
1t is proposed 10 invest this sum in good
American securities, which will be used as
a basis for a currency system and line OF
credit for the use of the republic.
1t is more than probable that Panama
has been induced to take this wise course
through fear of her ability to restrain
some of her impulslve politicians from
starting revolution in case that sum Of
money should be placed at once in her
treasury. This action removes this temp
tation and at the same time furnishes the
infant republic the pleasurable sensation
that comes from "having money in the
bank" Panama deserves credit for keep
ing out of temptation.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is infiamed you have a
rumbllmg sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness Is the
result, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inhamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

Parker's Chance.

Philadelphia Press.
The Indianapolis journal" Gays that
cit is amusing to hear talk of decline OF
Parker sentiment" in that State, as There
never was any Parker sentiment among
the Democrats of Indiana" 1t adds that
''the Democrats of Indiana never heard
of Parker until few weeks ago, and they
know nothing about him now further than
that he is New York Judge, pushed to
the front by Belmont and few other IL
nanciers-much the same crowd that took
up Cleveland and pushed HIM forward
some twenty years ago"
The personality of Parker means moth
ing to Indiana Democrats, and the In
diana instructions were not based on
Parker sentiment. 1t was movement to
defeat Hearst and Bryan, and the senti-
ment against those two men was made use
of to help Parker. The delegation will
not fight strenuousy for Parker His
strength lies IN the weakness OF other
candidates. Parker has never taken any
part whatever in national politics, and no
conspicuous part even in the politics oil
New York State.
The Democratic party is very weak IN
candidates. But if some etrong man
should be brought to the front in the ma
tional convention the Indiana delegation,
would, it is said, quickly drop Parker
and SO would his other supporters. Park
er is practically unknown to his party. II
he is nominated it will be for the reason
that no really strong man is brought out
as a candidate.

WHAT WILL HE SAY 2

Wonder if Judge Parker will say any
thing when the Notification Committee
hands him the nomination. Richmond
Times Dispatch.
If he is man of good, sound sense, he
will feel like saying, 81 will thank you
gentlemen to hand your empty honor to
some one who is more eager to get a
lickin'."
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1904-06-09

If Judge Parker is the logical candidate
of the "safe and sane Democracy" and Of
none who are otherwise, he will not get q
very large popular vote if nominated for
the Presidency. According to the analy-
sis of Mr.. Cleyeland, who furnished the
term "safe and sane Democracy" there
were but few hundred thousand sane
Democrats in 1896, and about one and
half million insane men in the party. May
be Mr.. Cleveland thinks the greater part OF
these have been restored to sanity by his
peculiar, effective treatment. "That man
Hearst" for instance.
