GOOD GENERAL CROP OUTLOOK.
Corn States Have Been Especially
Favored by the Weather.

Washington, Aug. 29.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop con-
ditions, issued today. is as follows:
During the week ending the 23th the
temperatures were highly favorable in
the central valley and in the gulf and
Atlantic central valley and in the gulf
and Atlantic coast districts, with the
exception Of the northern portion OF
the middle Atlantic states and New
England. Wet weather interfered with
farm work and injured crops In por-
tons Of Virginia, Carolinas, Alabama,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Wisconsin, Iowa
and Dakotas. Rain is much needed
over the southeastern Rocky mountain
slopes, the greater part of Texas and on
the north Pacific coast.
The principal corn states have ex-
perienced week Of exceptionally ia.
vorslble weather conditions fol. devel-
opnlent and maturity of corn. There
is everywhere ample moisture to in
sure satisfactory development of the
crop, except in Texas and portions Of
Karlsas, but in the last named states
its only the late planted that is suf
fering for rain. Reports indicate the
bulk of. the early corn will be safe
from injury from frost by September
Is, and most of the late corn will be
safe. by October /.
The spring wheat harvest is finished,
except in the northern portions Of
Minnesota and South Dakota and in
North Dakota, where, although we'll
advanced, it has been delayed by rains
and the grain is overripe. Stacking
and threshing in the southern portion
of the spring wheat region have also
been hindered by rains. Good yields
are generally reported.

We Are Not All Rampant.

among those who called at the
White House today to go on record as
favoring changes in the Dingley tariff
schedules, was G. X. Sharood of st.
Paul. He is here as a delegate to the
National Leather Manufacturers asso-
citation. Mr.. Sharood says there is a
strong and growing sentiment in the
northwest for change in existing tar
if rates. says Washington dispatch.
The dispatch says further:
'While the shoe manufacturers were
talking tariff revision at the New Will
lard hotel this morning, Representative
McCleary of Minnesota and Roberts of
Massachusetts exchanged some warm
words on that question.
"'You people of New England are af-
ter our western farmers said McCleary,
and want to get what you have to eat
4 great deal cheaper than you are now
getting it. You had best be careful, or
you will have to pay more when revis-
ion comes
"To which Congressman Roberts re-
piled: L am sorry to see that you peo-
pie of the west are so welded to the
rampant protection idea But the time
is coming when you will be compelled
70 make the best terms you can in a
new tariff bill. Right now you can
make very good terms"
Congressman Roberts was mistaken
when he said that we people of the west
are $50 welded to the rampant pro-
lection idea" To be sure, the republi-
cans are protectionists, but the majority
of them are not of the revision upward
stamp. They believe in protection
that will give the manufacturer his just
due, and at the same time treat the
people with degree of fairness. In
other words, they do not want the pro-
lection to be all one-sided. Mr.. Roberts
should understand that Mr.. McCleary
does not represent the true sentiment of
westerners on this tariff question.

Eddy VS.. mccleary.

Frank Eddy is not conceited "cuss.''
out he declares that he is just vain
enough to believe that if he lived in the
second congressional district he could re-
tire Mr.. McCleary to private life on the
tariff question alone. Eddy is reyis-
onist and does not care who knows it.
But at that he does not have any hopes
that there will be anything done toward
revision at the coming session of con-
gress.
In an interview with st. Paul news
paper, Mr.. Eddy said he would like to
discuss the tariff question with Mr.. Nc
Cleary. 81 have been following Con-
gresham McCleary's tariff talks with
interest, and l feel as if / would like to
meet him in debate on the question of
tariff revision. 1 have always admired
dent. BY precedent he should have the
craftsmanship of the committee on APP
on precedent believe he will get it. If
he loses the place it will mean his ut
ter collapse in Minnesota" In
spite of his admiration for Mr..
McCleary, Eddy is forced to
admit that the second district man is
not fair in his discussion of the tariff
question. He is adroit both in speech
md debate. Eddy describes McCleary as
1 scientific politician He is the machine,
no one. else, and his opponents have to
20 up against very carefully organized
machine. Like Mr.. Eddy, The Free
Press is of the belief that that machine
can be put into condition fit only for
the scrap heap. This paper would advise
Frank Eddy to move into the second

move that burden by cutting out the
duty ON hides.
But will it do so?
In connection with this talk on hides,
the remarks of A. w. Rich, a leading
shoe manufacturer of Milwaukee, may
be of interest Mr. Rich attended the
recent meeting of the national associa-
ton in Washington. After reviewing
what had taken place there, he stated
that he intended to show that mo-
nopolv exists, which controls the price
of hides and of leather; that the pres
ent tariff is the principal factor in aid
ing the monopoly to retain its hold,
and that the only persons deriving bene-
fit from the tariff are the beef packers.
While hides are fifty per cent higher
than they We're two years ago, he said,
the farmer does not get on an average
as much pound for his cattle. The
leather trust, he said, is nothing more
or less than the meat packers, who re-
Gently have secured controlling inter-
est in the sole leather combine known
as the United States Leather company.
Governor Douglas, also a large manu-
facturer of shoes, makes the statement
that the tariff should be taken off of
hides for the reason that there are not
enough green hides in the country.
There is report that the trust is at
tempting to corner the hide market.
There is no more reason why the tar
if should remain on hides than there is
for continuance of the duty on lumber.
Both are species of robbery.
