Farmers Not Panicky.

Panlc! What is that!'
This expression, credited to a farm
err recently, expresses something of the
general feeling among farmers of the
country. who would not know that Il
business depression was on if they saw
nothing about il in the newspapers.
Farmers are prosperous and have
plenty of money and plenty to eat. and
they are not going crazy just because
Wall street is panicky.
Why should they? The value of the
farmers products for the last year was
over five times the total value of all
steel production, and just about three
times the value of all railroad earnings
in the country, yet the men who control
the steel and the railroads for some
reason have become inactive and have
caused suffering on the part of men de-
pendent upon them for work. With
farm products valued at $500 100000
as against S1.200OOO.cOO for steel pro-
duction and S2.3O0,OOO.O0O railroad
earnings, the tail is wagging the dog,
or trying mighty hard to do so.
Few people who have watched the
situation but are impressed with the
belief that the business stagnation is
largely manufactured by great interests
to discredit President Roosevelt on ac-
count OF his structures on predatory
wealth, and that its continuance is for
campaign purposes, to brighten builders
of party platforms from expressing the
enlightened sentiment of America
against successful dishonesty
There is just as much real wealth
in America to-day as there was before
the panic struck us. and everybody
knows that the shrinkage Of certain
stocks was due to an imitation beyond
reason, yet the very same defenders
OF national honor" demand that the
American people submit to more injec-
tons of water to cure a condition due
to too much water. Would not such
policy merely act to postpone another
day of reckoning?

Drawbacks of Reciprce;tv.

Some of the more recent tariffs, like
the Dingley act of the present day, had
reciprocity stipula tons. and in some in
stances these have been put into opera
ton in a small way. Mr.. Blaine, the
most conspicuous champion of the reel
procity idea, got that scheme incorpo-
rated into the Mckinley law of 1890.
But that principle had many draw
backs. With each Of the various coun-
tries with which we would make espe-
cial deals we would have different rates
of duties. Necessarily these breaks in
the different spots in the tariff line
would create jealousy among the coun-
tries which were Disseminated against
Retaliation against us would be threat
ened or would be perpetrated. Such
reciprocity deals as we made never had
q very long career. They introduced a
confusion into our schedules which did
us more harm than good. Hence, in
recent years, the reciprocity idea has
been losing favor. The fat rate to all
countries, without granting special ia
vors TO any Of them, has been preferred
to the special deals on the isolated and
miscellaneous give and take" PLAN

There, during June last year, young

This quaint and charming ceremony,

To Suppress Anarchy.

Because he could say what he had TO
recently submitted to Congress the
shortest message of his administration.
The subject discussed was anarchy, and
while the President expressed the opin-
Ion that the present laws empower him
TO deny the use of the mails to all publ
cations melting murder, arson and trea-
son, he urges Congress TO go a step fur
Their and enact legislation which shall
prohibit the circulation of any publ
cation of that character whether print
ed here or abroad.
The necessity of this additional safe
guard is emphasized by the statement
of the editor of La Question Sociale,
the anarchistic journal published in
Paterson, that he Will go elsewhere and
issue his paper under another name, his
evident intention being to circumvent
the postmaster general, who has denied
him the use of the mails.
No surer. deadlier blow at anarchy
can be struck than in the suppression
Of its literature The insidious Ian
guage employed by the writers Of that
class appeals TO the weak and receptive
mind far more readily than does the
spoken word of those who are engaged
in spreading the propaganda from the
rostrum. The vigilance of the police
In large cities serves as a check on the
orators, who are thus guarded in their
appeals, while the anarchistic editors
have written without restraint and adj
vocated the most extreme measures.
The young Russian who exploded the
bomb in Union Square Park admitted
that he had been converted to anarchy
through the literature of the organiZa-
ton and thousands of others can no
doubt offer the same kind of testimony.
If Congress follows the recommends
lions OF the President. the action of this
government should encourage other ma
tons to follow cur example until the
gospel of anarchy is placed under a
ban throughout the civilized world.

There is one city in the world to-day
which bears an absolutely unique dis
tinction, and that is Detroit-the CITY
of pills" So writes j. Olivier Cur
wood in the Technical World Magazine
This year it is estimated that Detroit
manufacturers viii make three-quarters
OF the worlds supply Of pills, or over
6.OO0,0O0,000 pellets, of all sizes, shapes
and colOrs, and intended for almost
every ailment Of human kind In this
city are made over 1900 different yarie
ties of pills, and if a single seasons
crop was made of some deadly poison
there would be enough to depopulate
the entire globe twice over. To look
at Il in another way. if this annual
harvest was strung, like popcorn. the
rope of pills would reach three times
around the earth at the equator.
To-day America is the greatest pill
consuming nation on earth. for. while
Detroit pills find their way to every
conceivable CORNER of the globe, from
the frozen regions Of the Arctic TO the
deepest Businesses of tropical jungles,
not more than cne-third of the total
product leaves this country, the aver.
age consumption being something like
sixty pills per capita per year.

PROTECTIoNIsT FARMERS.

dian Farm Products

They Object to Free Trade in Cana
dian Farm Products
The farmers Of Iowa are practically
all protectioniSts. They have been
made rich on account of the high price
of farm produce. The high price Of
farm produce came as a result OF the
prosperity attending the American
workshop. All these conditions are
made possible by the protective tariff.
The farmers of Iowa are especially OPP
posed to letting the farm products of
Canada into the American market with
out the payment of duty. 1t is easy
enough to say that it would do no harm
to let the Canadian farmer trade with
US on an equality. But 1t must be re-
membered that what the Canadian
farmer lacks is a customer to buy his
products. The American farmer is in
possession of the customer. Give the
Canadian farmer the American custom
er and the American farmer will lose
him. Somebody on this side of the line
must give up a customer If the Cana
dian gains him. Besides there are 49,
100000 of American customers who are
nearer to the Canadian producer than
they are to the American producer.
Therefore, under free admission OF Ca
madam products 100000 Of Ameri
cans would buy Canadian products and
the American farmers products would

An Irrepressibie Conflict.

A large number Of Democrats have new

Try for the nomination, knowing that if

that Bryan would knife them in this

fashion.
Bryan was beaten in 1896 by 100000

detection of the Bryan support Parker
