1t will be remen bered that four
years ago the republican campaign
slogan was "The full dinner pail" We
are not hearing anything about the
dinner pail this fall. Why is it? The
reason is that most of the dinner pals
are empty this year In every indus
trial centre there g suffering and dis
tress. Even In republican Pennsyl-
vania there are hundreds of thousands
OF workingmen out of employ ment
many families have been forced to va
cate the houses owned by their former
employers and there are thousands Of
empty houses. Heads of families out
of work, with nothing ahead and win
ter coming Oh, conditions getting
worse every day and no prospect of
getting better this fall.
If the tariff was to blame for the
panic of 1898 is it not fair to say that
the same effect is brought about by
the same cause in 1905?
II seems TO every unbiased mind
that the ola fraud, protection, can no
- hsw0rked to make republica
votes. 9ucb object lessons are enough
to cor vince anybody that the cry OF
"pioiection and prosperity" is fake
fraud.

The fallacy of the conteation that
protection is an advantage to the
farmers could not be more clearly
shown than by the markets of the
farm products this year. There is a
tariff on wheat corn and also on wool.
There is practically no wheat or corn
imported to this country but there is
being each year a g :eat surplus, over and
above the demands of the home mar
ket, millions Of bushels are shipped to
foreign maskets which of course must
regulate the price to the farmer. 1t
certainly cannot be claimed by our re-
publican friends that the tariff rules
the price to the farmer of his grain,
and yet wheat and corn are both bring
ing fine prices on the market
How about wool? If the tariff reg
ulates prices under any circumstances
on any commodity wool ought to be
bringing high prices. There is large
importations of wool to meet the de-
mand and upon wool we have duty
of two cents and yet wool is as low as
it was in 1893. The farmers of Berke-
ley county this year have been getting
but l6 or II cents per pound.
Here we have beautiful exempliti-
| cation of the effect of the tariff on farm
products. Wheat and corn with no
protection higher than they have been
equals nearly one hundred and fifty
per cent. ad vaiorum selling lower
than for many years. That is
the way the farmers of the United
States are benefited by protection.
