TARIFF ON HIDES.
Its Removal Would InjuriousIy Affect
the Farmers.

We must confess to a disappearing
ardor for tariff revision when we see
leaders in the agitation direct their
efforts against farmers, the leading
business men of this great Western
country. For farming is a business,
Just like the making of shoes OF fab
RIGS, and whatever removes protection
from the products of the farm is apt
to affect the industry in the same
way that it would to put manufactured
goods on the free list.
There is an unconcealed effort to
get hides placed on the free list. We
are told that cattle are sold for their
meat value and that hides are no por-
ton of the animals as they are pass
ed to the block. But everybody knows
that hides are an important by-product
and any action of Congress that would
depreciate their value would similarly
affect the value of animals on foot
1t is a notable fact that the source
of this demand for free hides is in
the manufacturing districts of New
England, where parties interested
want cheaper raw materials If
hides are permitted to come free of
duty the cattle men of Mexico and
Central and Southern America will
supply the demand, and Iowa farm
ers will suffer correspondingly. What
may be raw material to the eastern
manufacturer may, indeed, be the fin
ished product of the Western farmer
The finished product of the Western
farms are corn, wheat, cattle, hides
and whatever may come from the field

cattle and dressed meat. Recent de-
velopments have shown conclusively
the source from whence the Meat trust
obtains it's power to plumber American
consumers of meats, poultry, eggs,
dairy products, fish, vegeta bles, fruits
and all other perishable commodities
subject to decay or deterioration in
long railroad hauls- 1t is through the
ownership and complete monopoly of
the refrigerator car service of the
United States, together with secret
and unlawful rebate and underbilling
arrangement with the railroad compa-
MES that the Meat trust obtains it
power to plumber and Cypress. A
thorough investigation of the scope
and character provided for in Con-
gresham Campbell's resolution would
unquestionably disclose a state of
facts completely confirmatory of the
contention that not to the tariff but
to violations of existing law on the
part of the Meat trust and its rail-
read coadjutors are to be traced the
expressions and abuses complained of.
The Railroad trust is in no way de-
pendent upon the protective tariff for
its opportunities. Its pooling agree
ments, its unpublished rates, its Sc
cret rebates, its acquiesence in the
underbilling of freight by favored
shippers, its promptness in furnish
ing cars to trust shippers, it's slow
ness in furnishing cars to non-trust
shippers, its control of national legis-
/. lation, its system of joint rates with
foreign steamship lines whereby the
foreign producer can deliver his goods
from Hamburg to Chicago at a lower
freight charge than that which the
domestic producer is required to pay
on similar goods carried from New
York to Chicago-all these acts of Cd
preston on the part of the Railroad
trust in collision with the other great
trusts have no relation and are in no
conceivable way chargeable to the pro.
tective tariff Any or all of these
things could and would be as easily
done under a condition of free trade.
That fact is abundantly demonstrated
By the strong effort now being put
forth to secure the passage of a law
by Congress that will give to the Fed
eral government the power to control
railway transportation rates. That
fact is made additionally clear by the
tremendous fight which the railroads
are making to prevent the enactment
of this proposed remedial legislation.
Proceedings are now under way for
the curbing of trust evils through the

do not extend to the processes of the
factory or the counting house. His
finished products are raw material to
the manufacturers, and he is as much
entitled to protection under our sys-
tenn OF tariffs as the persons who take
his products and turn them into arti.
cles of utility for the consumers
Before confidence can be placed in
the promise that free hides will not
result in injury to the interests of the
Western farmer it will be necessary
for advocates of free hides to produce
statistics supporting their contention.
We want to know the probable loss
from removal of the tariff and the
probable gain from the promised re-
duction in shoes and products of leath-
er- Then we shall ask for some as
surance that we shall get a compensa-
tory concession in the event of the re-
moval of the tariff on hides. In the
meanwhile we believe that the farm
ing classes are not anxious for a mod
1hcation of the tariff that is aimed
directly against their interests.-Ca

Kansas and the Federal Government
Point Out Practical Plans That Do
Not Involve Futile Experiments in
Tinkering the Tariff.

Merely because unjust and oppres-
sive conditions are found to exist here
and there in our twenty billions of
internal trade is not good and suf-
ficient reason for attacking the tariff
These conditions exist to a very linn
tied extent, if at all, as the result of

The expressions of the Anthracite
Coal trust have no relation with the
tariff There is no tariff on anthracite
coal.
The power to Cypress that is so
rutklessly exercised by the Standard
Oil trust is not derived from the tar
if There is no tariff on petroleum.
Congressman Campbell of Kansas has
found way to deal with Standard Oil
oppression without resorting TO tariff
tipkering. He has introduced and the
House has passed a resolution direct
ing the Department of Commerce and
Labor to institute thorough inquiry
into the malefactions of the Stand
ard Oil company as disclosed in the
methods employed by that giant
crusher out of competition in destroy
Ing Independent oil production in
Kansas. Kansas and other Western
States are ablaze with indignation at
vestigatfon called for by Congressman
Campbell's resolution will not halt for
lack of willing and abundant testi.
mony. Already, it is reported, the
Standard Oil people, alarmed at the
prospect of a searching inquiry, have
taken to buying up the Independent oil
properties in Kansas, hoping thereby
to shut off sources of injurious infor-
n alton. But the storm has broken out,
and 1T is too late to quiet the tenn
pest of resentment. Standard Oil is
about to be dealt with, but not
trough the tariff.
The expressions of the Meat trust
cannot be traced to the operations of
the tariff. The duty on live cattle and
dressed meat is not what enables this
trust to practice it's outrageous extor-
tions- 1t would practice them just the
same if there were no tariff on live

Battle Museum for Maryland.

In 1900 the legislature of Maryland
passed an act authorizing a battle
field commission, which was to create
museum in the statehouse, wherein
shall be placed all the battle flags
and other relics of Maryland troops
in the revolutionary, Mexican, civil
and Spanish-American wars A com.
mission has been formed consistine
of Capt John R. King, Sixth Mary
land, and Capt. George w. johnson
representing the union army, and
Spencer c.. Jones and James R.
Wheeler, representing the confederate
army. They met recently and organ
lied, with Capt. King as chairman
Capt. Johnson as secretary and Mr..
Wheeler as treasurer. Adjt. Gen.
John Clinton L. Riggs of Maryland
was present by invitation and will
take an active part in the work A
number of the union battle flags have
been for years in the custody of Will
son post, G. A. R., of Baltimore, while
a number of the confederate flags are
in the Soldiers home at Pikesville
The narrow escape of the union flags
in the great fire last February has
aroused strong desire to have these
precious relics placed in a more Sc
cure place. 1t is proposed to invite
relics of all kinds for safe keeping in
the museum.

gan. at the base of bare-topped hill.
around which Logan had changed
front to the left with marvellous rapid
ity- My brother, Lieut. Clifford Stick
hey, signal officer of the corps, found
that ammunition was running low at
the point where Louisiana regiment
was making terrific attack upon the
Eighth Ohio regiment. Having no sig
nal flag left, he used the regimental
colOrS with which to signal the re-
serve for an additional supply of car
tridges, just in time to prevent a dis
aster; for the Louisiana tigers dis
covering that the Ohio men were do
ing very little firing, made rush up
on the rail fence behind which the
Union force was lying and almost car
ried the key of the position in hand

could be brought up and distributed
AS rifle balls cut the colors in many
places while the signaling was going
on, that is one set of flags that will
long be cherished in Ohio.
The Spaniards seven years ago
were very greatly addicted to -four
ishing their flags in battle but United
States regiments were generally con-
tented with one United States flag.
In the Boer war the battlefields were
absolutely barren of fighting colors
Indeed, except for the brigade stand
ards over the tents of general officers,
not piece of bunting could be found
flying in the whole British army,
though sometimes the artillery quar-
tiers were designated by red flags in

as the old-time rally round the col

ments is so spread out as to place a
considerable part of both TANKS Who'll
ly out of sight of what was formerly
the color position-namely, the left

more probable, therefore, that regi-
mental standards will not again ap-
pear with our men in the field, the in
terest of the colors that have already
braven the storm of war will be all
the greater. And a patriotic appre-

Song of Cheer.
Sing me a song from the noon of the
day.
Wake refrain from its glory,
Bring me the flow rets that bloom on the
way;
Make life beautiful story;
Swell the sweet anthems that ring with
hope
Born not on earth and its sorrow,
Tell me of gates that waiting to ope
For US on the perfect Tomorrow,
Sing to me never of night or of gloom
Life holds enough of suCu sadness
Chill and decay let hide in the tomb;
Death gives no echo of gladness-
cast not a shadow, encourage strife;
Time to its close is fast speeding;
Harvest the joy and the sunshine of life;
And follow where conscience is leading
