THE FARMER PAYS THE COST.

The retalaitory tariff war, of which
the German Ambassador in Washington
has served notice ON the State Depart
ment, will in no way hurt the favored
industries and interests which fatten
and thrive by the robberies of the
Dingley tariff.
Nor is it likely to effect seriously the
South, whose exports to Germany con-
sist mostly of cotton, which Germany
must have. But as long as the CONNER
cial war lasts, Germany will persevere
in her efforts to raise cotton in her
African colonies, or to buy it from any,
body but us.
The sufferers by the retaliation,
which the Republican party has pro-
voked, will be the farmers and stock
men of the Middle West and the North
west, whose products must compete at
disadvantage in German markets with
similar products from countries with
which Germany has reciprocity treaties.
The trouble has been long foreseen,
and year ago the effort was made,
through the great Reciprocity Conven-
ton in Chicago, to induce Congress to
avert it. The voice of the agricultural
West was heard with no uncertain
sound in that convention, but the
bosses of the Republican party DELHI
erately chose not to hear it.
There We're in the house of Represen-
tatives during the recent session
enough tariif-reform Republican mem
bers to have passed a measure to
remove the cause of the trouble, with
Democratic aid, but they We're sup
pressed by the Speakers gag. The
case was not SO hopeful in the Senate,
though something might have been
done if the House had possessed free
dom Of speech and of action.
But the monopoly interests wanted a
few more years of good Dingley rob-
berry, and now we have on our hands
one of these commercial wars which are
always Improbable, as Mckinley
warned his party in his last public
address.
The Western farmer must bear the
cost of the war. He is very apt to
know whom to hold responsible for his
losses. Louis Republic.
