Abe Ruef's suggestion that he is
pleading guilty TO save his family from,
grief and that he is not really guilty OF
anything serious, reminds an exchange
of a story they used to tell on Bill
Marcy, governor of New York.
He was going through the peniteL
tiary one day, and on questioning tn
inmates everyone insisted that he wa
wrongly incarcerated. Finally he cam,
10 one man and asked him what h
was doing there. and the fellow said:

that he was the only one who had tolG

The cause of The duel was kept Sc

Young Dumont shut himself up from

she was gently persistent he finally

competition, but as he is now receiV
ing a fair price for his product, with d
rising market, he is making money.
The republican theory of protecting
the wheat farmer with a tariff tax of
% cents a bushel is shown by the low
price of wheat during the past year 10
be useless. because no product can be
protected from competition by placing
tariff tax on it, of which there is a
surplus that must be sold abroad. Our
surplus of both cotton and wheat must
be sold in the markets of the world iii
competition with the surplus of othe"
countries and the demand in those mar
kets regulates the price of the whole
crop wherever grown and wherever
sold
The tariff tax on wheat was not in
cluded in the DinSley law to protect
the wheat farmer but as a deceptive
snare to lure him to continue to vote
the republican ticket, and the repub-
lican leaders who enacted a tariff on
wheat knew they were trying to de
ceive the wheat farmer when they put
| il into the law. They would have like
wise placed tariff tax on cotton to try
to deceive the cotton grower, but as
these were all democrats such a tariff
tax would have been politically useless.
The growing political independence
of the farmers of the wheat growing
states has been brought about by their
discovery that protection does not pro
tect the farmer, but does impose a
heavy tax on him by the high prices
that the tariff protected trusts charge
for what he buys. Those intelligent
farmers who have always supported
democratic policies know this, and now
their republican neighbors are also
having their eyes opened.

Farmers Unprotected Prices Regu'
lated by Production.

II is perhaps not generally known
that there was imported into the United
States during the fiscal year 1906,
70,S79.179 pounds of cotton of the value
of $1G.S7S,4 33, which makes the price
1873 cents a pound in the country from
which imported. 1t is estimated that
there will be imported from Egypt
alone this year about us 900 bales of
cotton, which it will cost about S10,-
100000, as the Egyptian cotton. being
long staple of the sea island variety
it sells for much higher price than
our upland cotton. This imported COZ
ton only completes with our sea island
product, and as there is not sufficient
of that quality raised here to supply
the demand, it is probable that the
price of the home product is not re-
duced by these imports.
AS there is no tariff on cotton, the
southern planter is not protected from
