due to the Wilson tariff bill.
III Mr. Taft were TO say such n
foolish thing to the farmers of Ohio
they would laugh at him. Ohio
farmers know that the Wilson tariff
bill was not enacted until near tie
close of the session Of congress In
1894 and It did not go into full force
and effect until July 1. 1895, until
which time the Mckinley tariff rates
prevailed.
Under the Wilson tariff 'aw, which
Republican politicians affect to de-
spise, Mr.. Hanna was given credit
for bringing the price of wheat up to
the dollar mark during the cam
paign of 1896 Whether 1t was a
campaign trick worked for Mr.. Han
ma by the market manipulators, or
whether Mr.. Taft would prefer to
give some other reason for "dolllr
wheat" while the Wilson tariff law
was in operation. he would be un-
aIble to explain why the Dingley law
with tariff on wheat Of 20 cents
W. NhNhtl HdS Hot SlNtn tue l1Ill-
ers dollar wheat" ever since its en-
actment in 1907.
Chic farmers know that tariff laws
have not helped prices of their pro-
ducts. Market manipulators have
done more to fix prices than the tar
iif has ever done. Taking wheat for
instance, the tariff of % cents per
bushel has enabled the market
manipulators to beat down the price
when the bulk of wheat was ready
for market. Only those who could
afford to hold their crop could take
advantage of the gamblers price
harvest.
One other thing that farmers es-
pecially here in Ohio, know about
tariff Is that the Dlngley law makes
them pay more for everything they
buy without beneftting them one
cent on what the have to sell They
know that farmers in Australia or
South America or anywhere outside
Of the United States can buy farming
machinery made right here in Ohio
cheaDer than they can buy at home.
"A farmer in Clark county. for in
stance, will paw more for grain
drill made in Springfield, Ohio. than
the Australian farmer would pav for
the same drill after 1t Is shipped ov-
er 5000 miles 10 him by land and
sea.
Mr.. Taft would not talk to the
farmers OF Ohio as he did to the
farmers Of the Dakotas And It is
equally probable that he did not fool
the Dakota farmers.

COME HOME TO ROOST

With great blare OF trumpets
President Roosevelt pounced down
upon Governor Haskell of Okla
homa, denouncing him because OF
some favors which he is alleged TO
have shown the Prairie Oil and Gas
company, supposed subsidiary
company of the Standard Oil com
pany. He did not hesitate at that
but he sought for political purposes
to connect Mr.. Bryan with the
trusts, because Governor Haskell
YVES associated on the national COM
mittee which Is conducting Mr.. Bry-
ans campaign. He pointed the bony
finger of scorn at both Governor
Haskell and Mr.. Bryan assuming the
attitude of Fholer than thou. All
OF this was done in an effort to turn
the tide OF public sentiment away
from Bryan and to Judge Taft.
But this charge OF the presidents
against Governor Haskell and Mr..
Bryan has begun TO take on the
characteristics of a boomerang The
club which he sought to use has
returned and is likely to smite the
president a mighty blow before the
incident is ended. Senator Foraker
was stirred up as the result OF the
antitrust crusade and he told the
president a few facts which were
not music In his ePrs. Mr. Bryan
has been pouring the hot shot into
him until he has reached the point
where Roosevelt would be glad to
say enough il he only dared.
A manufacturer has addressed llt-
ter to him In which lie shows re-
markable ability TO hGade facts
without gloves and now to top it
all off an indianapolis man comes
to the front with the declaration
that the charter which was granted
to this same Prairie oil and Gas
company which Governor Haskell is
accused OF fayoring, was granted
upon the express order OF President
Roosevelt to Secretary Hitchcock
Not only that but he declares that
Secretary Hitchcock had refused to
grant the franchise 10 the company
10 do business In the state or
, Oklahoma, but that President Roose-
welt gave the command that the
grant be made, after he had been
informed that the company had made
the handsome contribution OF $25 900
TO the campaign OF Governor Odell,
while he was making the race for
the governorship of New York.
II this all be true, then President
Roosevelt is the msn who was prl-
marlly to blame for the Prairie
Oil and Gas company being permit
ted to enter the Oklahoma field
and he Is placed In the position of
censuring Governor Haskell for not
havirg forbidden the very thing
which he forced Secretary Hitch
cock into doing against his will.

Things Political

TAFT CAN'T FOOL FARMERS
Up in the Dakotas Mr.. Taft felt
thai he was perfectly safe in making
almost any sort of reckless asser-
tion.
Believing himself to be in the
midst OF farmers who would let par
tisan idolatry run riot with their
reason, and that he was so far away
from the farmers OF Ohio that they
would never know any better, Mr..
TAFT worked of that faded old fake
about low prices OF farm products
resulting from the panic which be-
gan under Harrison's administration
In 1899, inherited March 4, 1893, by
the Cleveland administration. being

noble Christian and had his heart stirred to go
