THE TARIFF AGAIN.

Any time any of our readers get tired
of reading these little tariff homilies,
they may stop reading them and find
many other things of interest in the
paper. There is Bowser, for instance
and George AIDES Fables in Slang and
continued story and the Sunday school
lesson and we have the best set of
country correspondents in the county.
Read what they say.
But we have to keep on hammering
away at the tariff now and then to keep
our hand in, because next year that
will be the issue between the two
great parties. Mark what we say.
The tariff will be the issue.
And we want to inquire why corn has
gone to So cents and oats to A and hogs
are cents and horses any price you
ask for them. We want to know
whether it is the tariff that has done
this or is it the law of supply and de-
mand. And if all these things are soar
ing Sky high on account of the tariff
what is the matter with hay that it is
only So, whereas it was S12 last spring.
Eggs are only Is cents and they were
% cents last spring. Is that unfair dis
elimination against some of our pro-
ducts?
And if the tariff makes these things
high, why does it not likewise affect
lumber and hardware and everything
we buy to build houses. Do you know
why there is no building going on in
Washington? Some say it is because of
the paving. Some say the town is dead.
1t is nothing of the sort. 1t is merely
the outrageous prices for lumber. No
body but very rich people can afford to
build. They will not begin till there is
some readjustment. Think of it. How
many clerks and laboring men and law
yers and doctors and preachers are get
ting more now than they got five years
ago, yet the price of everything they
buy is twice as high. And if the tariff
makes one high it makes the other high
correspondingly. tGa ., xJU OK,
4 Take the section man who used to get
$1.25, now gets $3.50. He pays exactly
twice as much for everything he buys.
Is he as we'll off as he was?
The doctor charges 81 trip just as
he always did. The lawyer gets just
what he did five years ago. The
preacher gets the salary, but all eat
just as much, spent just as much for
rent and for every other necessity, yet
the tariff is to be extolled to the sky as
sanity thing conceived by the angels
of paradise. O, it makes US tired

LON6W0RTH's SIGNIFICANT HINT

'sMr. Roosevelt will not run again."
says his son-in-law, unless the entire
country demands it," That seems to
state a remote contingency, about as
remote as Mr.. Taft's suggestion of en-
tire republican unanimity on tariff re-
vision.
There will never be nominating con-
vention unanimously in favor of a rail-
road reformer while there are railroads
dominated states, like Pennsylvania and
California, not to mention any others.
Il failure of unanimity will prevent
Mr.. Roosevelt's acceptance of a nomina-
ton, the railroad politicians can be de-
pended upon to provide the situation.
But if Mr.. Roosevelt's peregrinating
son-in-law is authorized to hold out such
a bait, or throw out such "feeler,' as
the possibility of his accepting a nomi-
nation under any conditions whatever,
it is an announcement the significance
Of which lies not in what it literally
says, but in it's strong hint of still
further concessions on Mr.. Roosevelt g
part.
Having unbended little, there is no
telling how far he will stoop to conquer.
In the end will he not be content with
any kind of nomination, even one which
does not voice the demand of the ZEN
tire country st. Louis Post-Dispatch.

One mighty encouraging feature of
newspaper business is the growth of
advertising from the farmers and stock
men. Ten years ago we received
scarcely any advertising from the
farmers, but last fall many issues of
the paper contained more advertising
from farmers than from the Shenandoah
merchants and the prospect is excel
lent for a splendid patronage along this
line this fall. The farmers have learn
ed that it pays to advertise. They adj
vertise their stock, their farm products,
and fill our want column with classified
ads of various kinds and when they
have public sale they use space liber-
ally and in nearly every instance they
come in afterwards and tell us that it
paid them we'll. j. B. Lawson, one of
the big stockmen, told us Saturday
that he had learned that it pays to ad-
vertise literally and that he expects to
use the paper this fall-and that is the
general talk among the progressive
farmers. And they are beginning to
use printed stationery and patronizing
the job departments of the newspapers
more and more. They are finding that
it is the proper thing to use printed
letter heads, envelopes, cards, state.
ments, breeding lists, scale books and
many other things made in the printing
Offices and if the business men in towr
do not look out the newspapers will
soon be under closer business relations
to the farmers than to the merchants

THE PAPER TRUST.

Newspaper publishers throughout the
country have learned with dismay that
the paper trust which dissolved under
stress of prosecution in the federal
court is to be succeeded by another.
The General Paper company was hold
ing company. The proposed Inter-
national company will be the actual
owner of the mills, for which it will
issue stock, and it will control the
supply of news print, manila paper and
wood pulp in the northern states.
The price of news print, which drop
ped slightly after the dissolution of the
General Paper company, soon advanced
again and has been going higher and
higher. 1t has now reached the high
est point for many years, and, trust or
no trust, is expected to go higher,
owing to growth of demand and the
thinning out of our countrys supply of
wood pulp. Removal of the tariff would
help some, as Canada still has a large
supply of pulp timber. There is hope
also that the department of agriculture
will find a suitable substitute for pulp
timber in the production of paper.
The newspapers of the United States
in 1906 used 100000 tons of paper, or
almost one-third the entire output of
the American mills. This required the
use of 100000 cords of spruce, poplar
and hemlock logs, the timber product OF
100000 acres. What this will mean in
ten years can be imagined. Substitute
materials must be found, the size of the
newspaper reduced or subscription and
advertising rates advanced. The last
remedy is the one seemingly to which
publishers and public must soon come

Discussing the rise in the cost of
print paper and the increase in wages,
the Dubuque Telegraph-Herald says:
"There never was a time in the history
of the newspaper business when the
outlook was so ominous of disaster. In
the end the publishers will get the
worst Of it. They must increase rates
of subscription and advertising which
inevitably means a decline in both and
consequent loss Of patronage"

Director Sage of the Iowa weather

Iowa are not farming as intensely as the
farmers in the other states.
