The defeat of Congressman Nc
Cleary in Minnesota shows the feeling
of the farmers in the Northwest against
the trust protecting tariff. McCleary
was the most extreme of all the stand
patters and was one of the pets of the
Protective Tariff League. His district
had a normal Republican majority of
over ten thousand, so that over 5000
Republicans must have voted against
him. As the tariff was the issue, there
is no escape or excuse for the stand
patters for the result of the election.
Mr.. McCleary's character was beyond
reproach, so that no personal shortcom-
ings could have had much effect on the
voters minds. If a fight OF similar en-
ergy and on the same issue could be
made in all the Northwestern States,
the roll call of Congress would show
large number of tariff worshipers re-
placed with Democrats.

count of individual publishers at rates
as low as one-fourth TO one-half cent a
pound, for distances within the average
range of circulation; and this goes to
prove pretty conclusively that the one
cent a pound now paid to the govern
ment is ample. If the price paid the
government for this service does not
cover the cost the fault must be with
the service, or its failure to secure fair
terms from the railroads.
There has always been more or less
scandal about the government contracts
with the railroads for carrying the
mail and of the efforts made by the
railroad agents to pad the weight when
the weighing time arrives for fixing the
average weight carried. The rent au-
thorized by Congress to he paid for
postal cars Is perennial scandal and
evidence is not lacking of other graft
ing in this regard.
In spite of all this evidence of col
fusion between Congress, the admins
tration and the railroads, by which
millions year are paid more than the
service is worth and the express COM
panies pay for similar service, the at
tempt is to be made to increase the cost
to the newspaper publishers, who are
already paying a good fair price. See
your Congressman and don't let the
railroads and the politicians use you
as a cats paw to pull their chestnuts
out of the fire.

Corn Fodder Valuable.

Although corn fodder is not ccnsid-
cred complete food, nor equal to hay.
yet it can be made to materially assist
in carrying the stock over the winter
by good management. On some farms
the practice is to stack the fodder and
straw and give the stock free access to
it, but there are better methods of utf-
lizing it. Every ounce of corn fodder
or straw that is fed, especially when
properly prepared, is a saving in hay.
Some May object to feeding such poor
stuff, on the ground that it contains but
little nutrition, but if grain or ground
food (Which is concentrated) be used
in connection with it, the bulky food
will answer for the purpose of dis
tention and also furnish more or less
nutriment. As long as the animals do
not dislike the fodder and they gain
flesh, one need have no fear in re-
gard to feeding it.
The manure too, will be better than
when the material is to- be trampled or
slowly rotted. BY passing such h.
terial through the animal the digestive
organs assist to reduce it and render Il
fine, and every farmer knows that the
finer the condition of the manure the
better ii is.

Unfortunates suffer.

Highly protected Germany, like the
United States, has discovered that the
protective tariff fosters trusts and com
binations which force up prices. III
consequence, there, as here, the great
increase in the cost of living is fore
ing the workmen to demand higher
wages and many people are denounc-
ing a policy that unnaturally advances
prices beyond what limited incomes
can bear without privation. There is
in Germany, as here, large number Of
endowed charitable institutions which
find under this increased cost Of living
a partial stopping OF their activity. 1t
costs nearly so per cent more both in
Germany and here to feed and clothe
charity patients in hospitals. and in
mates OF homes for the aged and help
less, the orphan, the blind and others
whose care devolves upon society. The
incomes of these institutions being
practically stationary, they are com
PEELED TO decrease the number of those
unfortunates they shelter or reduce ex-
penses. so that suffering Is inevitable
This is one of the many disadvantages
of the tariff fostered trusts and pro-
tecting them in unduly advancing the
price of their products

Tariff Issue to the Front.

Tuesdays elections and the remark
able political campaign which preceded
them have made it almost certain that
high protective tariff will be one of the
foremost issues in the next presiden-
tial election.
1t was decisive factor in bringing
about Republican reverses in Kansas,
Iowa and Nebraska. Tariff revision in
order to OBTAIN justice for the farmer
was an important issue in ex-senator
Harris campaign in Kansas, and the
pIuralities of 10000 and $4,000 which
Kansas gave to Roosevelt and Hoch,
respectively, two years ago, are more
than wiped out.
The tariff was a burning issue in
Iowa and Minnesota, and in both
States the elections of Tuesday brought
Republican reverses. The platform on
which Governor Cummins was renom-
mated excited the hostility of the
trusts without gaining the confidence
of those who are weary of being robbed
by high protective tariff. He would
have offered a stronger opposition to
the ASSISTANTS of the standpatters If
he had given more explicit assurance
against exorbitant tariffs of any sort.
In the last week of the campaign
Secretary Shaw found in Minnesota
such hostility to the Dingley tariff that
he deemed it prudent to hold out the
hope of tariff revision Immediately
after the next Presidential Inaugural
ton. The returns from Minnesota in
dictate that the Republicans there plac-
ed little faith in his promise.
In no other Republican States are
the evidences of revolt against Dingley-
ism so clear-cut and unmistakable
Radical economic reforms are seldom
brought about until the false economic
policy ends in disaster The country
seldom votes for economic change in
prosperous times.
But the discomfort with the tariff as
it exists is known to be deep and wide
spread. If the Republicans stand pat
on the high protective tariff in 1908
it will be the main issue between the
parties in the presidential election

The solid southwest.


The sweeping Democratic victory in
the coming State Of Oklahoma, the
overwhelming defeat by the Arizona
negative of President Roosevelts
scheme to make only one State OF the
two far Southwest Territories. the re-
turn of Missouri to its Democratic al
legiance and the Democratic victory IN
Kansas are singing rebukes to Repup-
lican discrimination against the rising
young giant of the Southwest.
The election has made the southwest
solidly Democratic from the northern
line of Missouri TO the Rio Grande ana
from the Mississippi river TO the loot-
hills OF the Rocky mountains. IL mas
done more. BY adding Minnesota ana
by almost adding Iowa and Kansas lt
has marked out a broad Democratic
trail along the middle line of the coun-
try from Lake Superior and the cana
dian border to the southernmost point
of the United States.
If Oklahoma Republicans in advance
of the election rightly forecast the re-
suit of decisive Democratic victory
In the statehood convention election, II
means that the State of Oklahoma VIII
send to the Sixtieth Congress two Sen
ators and three or four OF the five Rep
resentatives with which Oklahoma VIII
enter the Union.
And if the Democrats make good use
of their success it means that the new
State will give seven electoral votes
ID the Democratic candidate for the
presidency in 1908.
The Southwest takes care of itself
and stands by its allies. The Repub-
lican slump in Kansas is in part due
to the bad record Of the Republican
governor, Hoch. and to the high char
acter of ex-senator Harris, the Demo
cratic candidate. But if the solid Re
publican delegation in Congress had
in the last session Obeyed the will of
their constituents, instead of follow
ing Republican bosses in Washington
in the fight over Southwestern state
hood, the Republicans of Kansas might
have saved much that they have lost
Politically as well as commercially
and industrially the Southwest is unit
ed by common interest. The recent
election won for it allies in the North
west. The steady aim of the South
west should be by prudence and the
consistent and conservative application
of the principles of Jeffersonian De-
mocracy to preserve it's unity and re-
tain its allies.

LOCK SYSTEM IN PANAMA.
Chagres River Caused the Adoption
of This system

Chagres River Caused the Adoption
OF This system.
The selection of the lock plan for the
Panama canal was undoubtedly due TO
the acceptance of the dominating infu-
ence of the Chagres River, says Forum.
1t has been general to assume that the
great difficulty of the sea-level plan
lay in the immense amount of excava-
ton it would require in the cut at
Culebra. Had this been the only diff
ficulty, it is probable that the sea-level
project would have been adopted; but
when 1t is understood that the real
problem was the holding back OF the
entire flood waters of the Chagres, a
food OF $1,000 cubic feet per second, by
a dam at Gamboa. rising to a level OF
$50 feet above the surface of the canal,
and more than a mile in length at the
crest, ii will be seen that the Culebra
cut was a secondary matter
In the sea-level plan the accumulated
food waters of the Cbagres were to
have been let of gradually through
sluices into the canal itself. producing
at times current as high as four feet
a second. In the lock project, the
waters of the food river merge into
one great lake, with ample spillways.

The election by the people of another
Republican Congress will encourage the
ship subsidy lobbyists 20 persuade"
Congress at the coming session to pass
the ship subsidy bill which the Senate
has already passed. Many Republicans
believe, some perhaps honestly, that
our shipping industry should be sub
sidized directly, as the trusts are in
directly by the tariff protection they
enjoy. But the New Orleans Picayune
hits the nail on the head when it says:
This country can never hope to pos
sess an ocean-going merchant marine
until American capital is free to buy
ships wherever they can be secured at
the most reasonable cost, and operate
them under the American flag free from

men or draw workmen from the Unit
ed States. so that the money which has
been paid for imports viii be spent at

raw materials viii be comparatively
free Of duty, but practically prohlb-
tive duties in other directions are be-
ing urged. How this retaliatory poll
cy will be relished by our standpat
statesmen and whether the trusts will

Extraordinary Voting.

The most extraordinary election re-
turns came from Pennsylvania, where
the people voted to endorse the Pen
rose machine and condone the grating
of over $5,000000 from the money ex-
pended in furnishing the new capitol
And most extraordinary of all was this
result was largely brought about by the
sympathy and assistance of the Presi
dent of the United States in virtually
endorsing the rule Of the ring on the
ground that the defeat of the machine
would jeopardize the Republican con-
troll of Congress. How the addition Of
few machine Republican members Of
Congress will help President Roosevelt
carry out any measures he may have in
contemplation has not been explained
and never will be to the satisfaction of
genuine reformers.
