ated by sincere, desire to extend our
markets abroad" it is altogether ur,-
reasonable to presume or to fear that
such dual tariff would be enacted.
Rather would 1t seem that one must
first believe our American congress to-
tally devoid Of business sense or COM
pletely dominated by special interests,
in order to entertain such tear OF 1T
seriously.
The principle Of a dual tariff governs
very largely in the commercial Worla
and ought not to be difficult Of appli-
cation to transactions between govern
ments. Most manufacturers do busl-
ness on dual tariff. that is they have
a published list price with discounts in
some cases of 4O-10-10 per cent to job
bers in return for purchases in car
load or train load lots, and 40-10 per
cent discount to retail dealers who buy
in less quantities. If the policy OF q
retaliatory tariff were known to the
business world we would find drum
mers out with a minimum list price
asking jobbers to pay one bonus above
the list and dealers to pay two bonuses
above: ridiculous, to be sure, but no
more so than to presume that congress
would send Uucle Sam abroad solicit
ing foreign trade on the bonus above
list price or retaliatory tariff plan.
The facts are that the men who
framed the Dingley law established
their list schedules with the expecta-
ton Of offering discounts to favored
nations in proportion to the conces-
sions received or volume of purchases
and they provided in the law that the
president should solicit business with
foreign nations on discounts not to ex-
coed 20 per cent off the list schedule.
The reason Uncle Sam did not get the
business is because the orders were
turned down by the house when Presi-
dent Mckinley and Commissioner kas-
son sent them in with the necessary
discounts allowed. Some Of the stock
holders are now kicking because our
competitors are getting the business.
The men who believe in modifying
our tariff law to promote our COM
merce abroad or to protect our for
eign trade" as Cumnlins puts 1t, be-
lieve in the business policy of allow
ing the discounts contemplated in the
Dingley law or larger ones If same
should seem wise. Because the SEN
ate turns down every reciprocal treaty
these men propose new legislation
which shall give the president carte
blanche orders to allow certain dis
counts off list price to meet the COM
petition Of the world in foreign mar
kets without having to refer his or
ders to the house for some fool man
ager to turn down. Every travelling
salesman and every manufacturer can
understand the practical necessity OF
such a business arrangement. Retail
iatory tariffs are nothing more than
published list prices with bonuses at
tached and none but a stmpleton would
90 ont on the road soliciting orders for
a house that did business on such
pIan.

THE HAY


The providential, copious rain Of a
week ago insures tremendous crop
of corn in Iowa, as reports are. it was
general and came just when it Was
needed. Some claim a damage, slight,
to the oats in shock, but the gain in
a general way far exceeds the loss "A
few days previous to this welcome rain,
the writer rode in the cars some 200
miles south from the Minnesota state
line. Thousands of acres or oats
were seen in the shock
and by actual count only
five stacks of oats were to be seen
from the car windows. Yet all Of these
fields had been cut over a week and
exposed to as many days of sunshine,
dry enough and time enough to stack,
yet all "were waiting for the machine
to come around One farmer had $50
acres of oats that will go fifty bushels
to acre" all in the shock. An interest
ing discussion in the IRIS Strawpile
would be articles from the farmers
themselves, on the subject, "Why Iowa
Farmers Do Not Stack Their Oats"
Altho we put much confidence in the
government weather forecasts and
some of us wonder why the govern
ment officials get 1t down so fine, ev-
cry little while they make such a
break as to destroy our belief in their
infallibility. For instance, short
time ago. the probabilities mentioned
for Iowa, northwest wind, clear wealth
err and "darned if it didn't rain all the
forenoon and the wind northeast" So
said the weather critic of the govern
ment reports to the writer. Brother
Sage in his little pamphlets can give us
an explanation both of the hits and
misses, that will be interesting to all
Of us.
He looked us straight in the eyes
and stated as fact that around and
near Grundy Center this year are
planted 10000 acres of potatoes, going
to yield we'll and probably average 800
bushels to the acre. Let's see. Three
hundred times 10000 figures 100000
bushels. Six thousand cars of 500
bushels to each car load. Three hum
dred train loads of twenty cars each.
Whew won't the side tracks of Grun-
dy Center be full of cars this fall?
Here are some figures that can be
verified: Within mile. of Bristow
now are maturing $50 acres of cab
bages. This means 100 to $50 cars full
of cabbage heads will be shipped this
year from BIistow. This crop of cab
bages are machine grown in all re-
spects save cutting. The plants are
dropped from a machine the same as
corn. they are cultivated as potatoes.
hauled to the cars and shipped in bulk.
an inverted frame work built length
wise in the car. They were sold last
year so much per ton f. o. b. at Bris-
tow, nearly all of the crop being sent
to ST. Louis. Last year in mentioning
this cabbage industry at Bristow the
writer suggested sauer kraut estab-
lishment at or near Bristow. Why
not? for these car loads are converted
into kraut as soon as they reach the
markets. Some one says there is no
cooperage works in Butler county.
Why not have one?

NATIONS DEBIT TO IOWA.
rChicago National Review.1

Il "
Tn all fairness it must be conceded
that Iowa has furnished the larger
PROMOTION of the earnestness which
has made it possible to hold a nation-:
al reciprocity convention. 1t Is ex-
Governor Stephen B. Packard, nero
Of many a political fight, who IS TO
preside at the meeting. 1t has been
in Iowa, under the direction of Gov
ernor Cummins, that the flag has been
kept floating at all times. And 1t can
be said of the governor that he has
always been victorious on this issue
and that not for one moment has he
ever wavered In his position.
If, therefore, the ship of state is
directed right and the American poll
icy is maintained in accordance with
traditions, it will be due largely to
the activity and perseverance of the
statesmen of the midland region.
Here is the best Anericanism; here
is courage linked with patriotism;
here the agricultural interests join
hands with the manufacturing and
mining interests and with the forces
of commerce to demand policy for
the nation that will make it in COM
ternational politics.
SUCCESS ON THE FARM.
britt News.
Those who have made money in
farming, with but few exceptions,
have made it by hard knocks. They
go to work early, quit late, put in from
sixteen to eighteen hours day. The
women, and often children of the fam
ily work just as hard, and if necessity
requires are often in the field helping
with the work. They do not dress in
fine linen while at their work nor
change raiment two or three times a
day, as do the "swell' people in towns
and cities A pair Of overalls, ging-
ham shirt. pillow shoes and straw hat.
or calico dress and sunbonnet, are
the prevailing styles on the farm six
days out of the week. Yes, there is
money in the farm; but it is never
worked out by dude Of the smart
set" Every dollar that is laid up has
been accumulated by hard work. early
and late, with little recreation and few
holidays. The man who has quarter
or half section farm paid for and well
improved never made it by living in
town and doing his farming In an au-
tomobile. There is no easy work on the
farm 1t is hard work from daylight
until dark, and the farmer we'll earns
every dollar he gets from the soil.
When he becomes so or so years old
he is very tired. Who can blame him
If he wants to retire and take a we'll
