plan. A very practical demonstra-
ton has been made of this fact.
One man owned 300-acre farm.
He sold 100 acres and concentrated
his work on the remaining 200. The
result was that he m a d e more
money on the 200 than he did be-
fore. He tried the same plan again
and sold another 100 with the re-
suit that he made more money than
ever. The small farm was highly
improved and the large farm was
neglected and less profitable. Then
the extra expense of taxes and
other incldentals was worth men
tioning. T lie farmers in Obion
County are accumulating too much
land Some of them are mortgag-
ing their farms tor this purpose,
when they could great deal easier
dispense with the mortgage and
make more money on much small

fact. 1t has been practically demon

ENEMY OF TARIFF.
Labor World Sees Danger in Bryan
Plan of Tariff for Revenue Only.
(From the Labor World

(From the Labor WORLDLY
Workingmen and producers generally

belief that, If Mr. Bryan shall be elect
ed President. his plans for revision Of
the tariff will present no menace to the
country. Mr., Bryan is the professed
enemy of the tariff system. lie would
purposes only. On articles competing
with what he chooses t. call trust-made
goods he would have no duty at all.
Any apparent deficit in import duties
arising from revised schedules he esti
mates would be more than made up by
increased imports OF course, his hope
Is to strike at the great protection
States. which happen to be Republican
in politics, like Pennsylvania, New
York, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, West Nir-
ginia, etc. 1t does not seem to matter
to him that every dollars worth of for
eign goods in the competitive class com
ing into the United States on a revenue
or free trade basis necessarily by so
much reduces the demand for home
goods. thus displacing just that much
American labor. What he wants to do
is to rebuke and avense himself upon
protected manufacturers who do not
agree woth him in politics and who will
have none OF him at the polls, says an
exchange.
But while Mr.. Bryan is cunning for
protected industries and Republican
States, once his proposed tariff law
| should be in force it would fall alike
upon all sections of the country, the
| only differences between one State and
another being in the degree of hardship
/ imposed
We hear of workingmen saying that
| this time they intend to vote for Mr.
Bryan, because for the past ten months
we have had hard times. But what
good will that do? How is tariff for
revenue, ignoring the protection idea
altogether, going to open the shops and
mills! How will the election of Sena-
tors by direct vote start the wheels of
industry? Or the publication of cam
| paign contributions Or the further
harassment of the railroads? Or the
reorganization of the House, so that
the Speaker may be powerless? Why
open this country now to the markets
of the world when we have not sufll-
Gent demand to consume what we our
selves manufacture? Under Republi
can rule we have just had ten years OF
unparalleled prosperity. Under Dem
ocratic administrations we have never
had prosperity for any period, long OF
short.

BoUTEL1 ON BRYAN.
Is His "shall the People Rulep'
Simply ga Local IssueP"

Congressman Henry Sherman Bou-
tell of Chicago commenting on Mr..
Bryan's speech in Iowa, says:
MIR. Bryans question, "Shall the peo-
pie rue!' implies that somewhere in
this country the people do not rule.
The only States where the people do
not rule are the States that are eX-
pected to give overwhelming majorities
for the Democratic ticket. Perhaps
Mr. Bryan thinks that his question is
purely "a local issue" If he is sin
cere challenge him to make a speech
in Nicksburg, Miss, on Government
by the People" Let him repeat one of
his famous anti-imperialist speeches,
simply changing three words, substitute
ing "Mississippi' for "PhilippiEes' and
"black brothers for "brown brothers"
Let him suggest that we have as chair
man of his meeting John Sharp Will
liams, leader of the Democrats in Con-
gress, and as vice. hairmen the other
members of the Congressional delega-
ton from Mississippi.
And after he has made his speech
in Nicksburg, if he shall have escaped
the rule of the people in that com
munity, l dare Mr.. Bryan to repeat
his GRAFTON on popular government in
Charleston, S. G., with Senator Till
man as chairman of his meeting Mr.
Bryans sentiments have purely geo.
graphical sincerity. His epigrams and
startling conundrums are especially de-
signed to meet local demands. OF this
! nature are all his views on tariff and
| taxation.
Mr.. Bryun's proposition that every
time trust is formed a tariff sched-
ule should be repealed, and every time
trust is dissolved a new duty should
be added, is too funny even for comic
opera.
If ON March 4 next MIR. Bryan should
Congress in both houses, and should
actually place upon the statute books
the financial and economic vagaries de-
liverel by him in his speech of last
Friday, 1t would plunge the nation into
bankruptcy and bring on industrial

the duty on sugar to punish the sugar
trust, he would upset the national
finances by losing S60,0C0,OOO a yeal

other millions from the treasury ant
invite still further Industrial ruin.

The chief difference between the Re.

is the difference which has heretofore
been seen between the policies of Mr..
Roosevelt and those which have been
advocated by the Democratic candidate,
Mr.. Bryan. Mr.. Roosevelt's policies
have been progressive and regulative;
Mr.. Bryan's destructive. Mr.. Rooser
velt has favored regulation of the bust.
ness In which evils have grown up SO
as to stamp ont the evils and permit
the business to continue. The tendency,
of Mr.. Hryan's proposals has generally
been destructive of the business with re-
spect to which he is demanding reform.
Mr.. Roosevelt would compel the trusts
to conduct their business in lawful
manner and secure the benefits Of their
operation and the maintenance Of the
prosperity Of the country of which they
are an important part; while Mr..
Bryan would e1;irpate and destroy the.
entire business in order to stamp out
the evils which they have practiced.
