suffering standpatter..

Whenever the standpatters, and even
those Republicans that believe there
must be some reform of the present
tariff system. are cornered by the ex-
Hosure of the plunderlng by the pro-
tected trusts and combines, their only
reply Is that free trade would ruin the
country. This, of course, Is no answer
at all, as neither the Democratic party,
nor any other organization of conse-
Quence politically, either demands free
trade or favors 1t. Free trade Is q
bugaboo Of the standpatter who has a
brainstorm and suffers from paraloglsm
whenever tariff reform is mentioned.
Free trade would undoubtedly be the
best thing for the whole world If all
nations practiced 1t, but practically it
is at present impossible. Revenue must
be raised to support the government,
and one of the chief sources of taxes
must be on imports, at least until our
system Of taxation is changed. The
question is how high or how low shall
these tariff taxes be?
Reforming the tariff by reducing 1t
Is not free trade. far from It,, for
there would still be large amount of
tnrifr tax paid under one-half the pres
ent duties, and as the trusts would
have to compete with the imported
goods, which would be sold at reduced
price, In accordance with the lower
rates of tariff duties, there would be a
general reduction of the cost Of lly-
Ing and the great mass of consumers
would be able to purchase more instead
Of economizing as many now do. There
Is now imported over 60OOOO,0OO of
dutiable goods and nearly that much
free Of duty. All that comes into the
country upon which no duty is collect
ed is free trade" and If lumber and
coal and hides were also placed on the
free list, as proposed by the tariff re
vision Republicans of Massachusetts,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, the Dakotas and
Iowa. no one would be injured, but the
trusts and combines that illegally con-
troll these necessary articles, and If
their profits would be cut down by hav.
Ing to compete with imported lumber
coal and hides. every one else would
b. the gamer.
Free lumber would mean cheaper
buildings and therefore lower rent

No one can show one cent saved from
corporation plundering through any ac-
tion of the President or Congress, but
there Is the fact that the Legislature
of Ohio reduced passenger rates one
third, to 2 cents mile and that rate
appears to give satisfaction to the peo-
Pile and the railroads submit to 1t, SO
1t mist be reasonable. Other States
have made similar reductions and
either by direct law, or through their
railroad commissions, have reduced
freight rates also. If that is Inef-
fective chaos in the way of dealing
with the great corporations" the peo-
pie no doubt wish the President and
Congress would do something in the
same chaotic way. The further fact
that the railroad presidents are united
in urging that the President recommend
Congress to take control Of the inter-
state railroad traffic and thus prevent
the reforms the States are enacting,
Is another evidence of the advantage
of the reserved rights of the States
and their much more effective and
quicker way Of obtaining relief from
corporation injustice than the corpora
ton controlled national government.
The Democratic doctrine of Home
Rule has thus again proven its greater
power to relieve the people from in
justice than the combined and CEN
tralized power Of Republican presl-
dent and Republican Congress. After
all 1t is not words but deeds that
count.

TOBACCO THE CHIEF CROP.

Great Profits Yielded by the Indus
try In the Philippines.
Tobacco has played most important
part In the history of the Philippines.
No other industry has done SO much to
support them in the past, and Mt the
present time no industry contributes
more to the support of the insular
government In internal revenues than
tobacco.
The Cagayan valley has produced to-
bacco for the government manufac-
tories of Spain and Austria for more
than 14O years. For 1O1 years of this
time (from 1871 to 1892, when the
tobacco industry was monopoly of
the Spanish government, the taxes or
revenues from the production of to-
bacco in the Cagayan valley paid half
of the entire expenses of the insular
government. During the time of the
Spanish monopoly it was the intention
of the government to force the natives
to raise not only more tobacco but a
better quality. In this they succeeded.
What can be done In this line by
private companies is well emphasized
by the success of several companies or
ganized after the adjustment of the
Spanish monopoly and some of them
even since, the Spanish war. The
largest of these companies is known as
Compania General de Tabacos de Fill
pinas, or, as known in English, the Gen.
eral Tobacco Company. The stockhold-
ers of this corporation reside mostly In
Spain, although there are a few in the
Philippines. One of the largest stock
holders is the marquis de Camlllas, one
of the wealthiest men of Spain. This
company grew so rapidly and made SO
much money out of the cultivation Of
tobacco that to-day it is one of the
largest commercial enterprises In the
orient. 1t is capitalized at $4,000, 900,
on which it is paying heavy dividends.

Prof. Eckles of the Missouri agrlcul-
tural college has the following to say
as to how to feed cows:
There are two common mistakes:
first, not feeding enough; second, feed
Ing ration not properly balanced.
About 60 per cent Of what a COW can
eat Is necessary to maintain her, with
out producing milk or gaining in
weight. 1t is not economy to feed only
little more than this 60 per cent
needed to keep up the cows body. Be-
low are given balanced rations that
will furnish the material necessary to
produce milk in about the right pro-
portions. By the term 'rations Is
meant the feed for twenty-four hours.
If COW will not give good flow Of
milk in the early part of the milking
period, when fed liberal amount of
one of these ratlons, 1t indicates that
she is not adapted by nature to be
dairy animal and she should be dis
posed of. The amounts given are about
right for COW giving from 20 to rs
pounds Of milk per day. For heavy
mixers these rations are to be In
creased and reduced for lighter milk
ers. In making up these rations, 1t is
designed that the COW be given practi-
cally all the roughness she will eat,
and then sufficient grain is added to
furnish the necessary amount of digest
ible material:

The lambs come into the world per-
fectly free from parasites and gener-
ally from germ diseases. 1t Is prob
able that most Of them are free from
internal parasites The flock owner
should realize this and endeavor to
protect the little things from all that
would make them less thrifty than they
are when they are born, says Farmers
Review. Some Of the most successful
flocks of sheep in the country have been
made 80 because of the care bestowed
upon them. In the very first place they
have been protected against all kinds Of
parasites, and have been given quarters
IN which disease germs could not
thrive.
Their owners have realized the fact
that about all that sheep need is
chance to be thrifty. 1t is well known
that they have in themselves an un-
usual power of resisting disease and
of rising above averse conditions. The
successful raising of sheep does not re-
quire extraordinary measures 80 much
as ordinary measures. The steps to
be taken need to be those Of protecting
the sheep against enemies Of various
kinds rather than to devise new meth
DDS generally.
1t Will be found that the successful
shepherds are In all cases men that
look carefully after the multitude Of lit
tie things, which go to make up the
grand total Of things making for the
welfare of the flock. To give the sheep
a good fighting chance is all that is
necessary to insure success,
