Governor Commins, Of Iowa, is as.
surfing the republican voters Of that
state that the next congress will take
up the revision of the tariff at the
request of President Roosevelt. The
governors idea would seem to be
that the presidents standpat pact
with Speaker Cannon IS for camplgn
revenue purposes only, and that as
soon as the elections are over he will
desert his standpat allies as he desert,
ed his democratic allies on the rate

Time after time Fl. Clay Pierce has
been cited to appear before the

Pierce is to override the law merely
because he is the manager Of a trust.

In a strong article in Golfers FOL
August Richard Lloyd Jones,
commenting upon the neglect Of oul
rivers, says; For the money we
have bspent on the Philippines we
could have built for the farmers a
splendid system Of good roads-we
could have completed two ship canals
across Panama, or we could have
channeled the Mississippi River SC
deep that every city on its banks,
from st Paul to New Orleans, could
be a seaport town. But the lien OF
any one of the stupendous home
advantages, we battered our booty fol
an archipelago Of trouble on the plea
that it was a higher duty to promote
the interests Of a semi-savage people
seven thousand miles from our
nearest shore than to enhance ouI
own prosperity and the happiness Of
our homes"

What are farmers to think of
protection when the price uf wheat,
because of large production, is
steadily declining while the cost Of
~harvesterS and all trust manufactures
is as stable as Gibraltar? What
would it matter If there were
protection Of 500 per cent on any
perishable product that we produce
in excess of domestic needs? Why
does not the farmer sell his wheat in
this country at 81 and abroad at 40
cents? These are questions which
republican farmers SHOULD ask
themselves.
