If the Wilson bill be held responsible
for the drop in the price of corn and
oats, il must also be given credit for
the advance in the price of wheat from
81 cents per pushed. in 1894. to 50 cents
in 1897. 1t would be glaringly incOn-
sistent to blame the Wilson bill in the
one case and refuse to give credit in
the other. Inconsistency is an attribute
of the presidency at present, but Mr..
Taft isn't president, and isn't likely to
be. and should confine himself to facts.
II he isn't certain of his facts he
should quit talking about the tariff;
If he does know and purposely misrep-
resents them, he isn't fit TO take part
in the "unequivocal' revision promised
in the Chicago platform.
So far as the operation of the tariff
is concerned, it hasn't any more to do
with the prices of farm products than
the laws of Moses or the Pandects of
Justinian.

THE MAN AND THE TAN.

cleveland Leader.)
Such a heavy coat of tan
Had the man.
Such copper-brownish hue
That / thought of ocean shores,
Where the ceaselesS billow roars,
And the sun Is active, too
Some location in the atlas,
Where, all collarless and hatless,
He had fished and golfed and swum,
Or of some
Mountain farm or river town,
Where he got that coat of brown,
Luring troutlets from the Willow
Bordered, laughing, ripping rill-oh,
Any summary, lazy spot,
Where We flee to- when it's hot.
If we've time and inclination
(And the coin) for a vacation.
Happy. happy, happy man.
Though you're back in town. you shine
All the brighter for your fine
Coat of tan.
So l spa5e. but when he heard
OF my envy, he averred
That no holiday or outing in his sum-
mer had occurred
That he'd never left the city.
Then l cried,
''Then whence that very pretty
Colored hide?"
Answered he a wondrous paradox about
his sunburned features:
This coat of tan? that's easy, son-I got
it on the bleachers."

A SURPRISE IN MAINE.

Even Maine is not so hidebound as
many of US have been led to believe,
and the Pine Tree state has actually
advanced beyond some of the COM
munities generally supposed to be
more progressive. The people of Maine
have voted that they shall have power
TO pass upon the acts of the legisla-
ture, either confirming them or multi
flying them by direct vote. The people
also will have the power TO originate
legislation. This is the initiative ana
referendum in all its glory.
The adoption of these principles at
the recent election has placed Maine
alongside Oklahoma, the act being
about as radical as anything in the
constitution of the new state. Organ
lied labor and the farmers, the latter
represented by the oranges, carried the
amendment to the constitution after
fight lasting six years. There is hope
of Maine finally becoming a Demo-
cratic state.
The referendum is employed, in one
form or another. in nearly all the
states, but in only a few does it apply
to acts of the legislature. In Okla
hOma the principle is very broad, much
the same as in Maine. The other states
in which the initiative and referendum
has its greatest growth are Oregon,
South Dakota, Nebraska. California,
Idaho and Montana. In none of these
is there a more sweeping application
of the principle than in Maine.
The most conspicuous use of the ref
erendum, which has been model TO
all other countries, is that of Switzer-
land. where the principle originated
and has been in practice nearly 300
years.
Utah has not arrived at the point
where the people are given chance
to veto the acts of the legislature.

and claims that the Ohio man will win
by large plurality The Tribune cor
respondent interviewed a business man
of ST. Paul, with the following result:
A prominent Republican business man
of St Paul said yesterday: 81 have no
doubt that of the two men jacobson is
the better. L do not suspect Johnson OF
being in the least dishonest, but rather
OF lacking that sense of propriety which
is in consonance with Rooseveltism and
Taftism- Nevertheless, j shall cast my
vote for Taft and Johnson because l be-
neve that Johnson is a safer man than
jacobson, man less likely to espouse
freak theories in legislation or go off the
handle 10 the detrfment of the business
interests and the prosperity of the state.
There were a dozen men in the COM
pany in which this remark was made, and
every one Immediately declared his pur-
pose to vote the same ticket Taft and
Johnson, and this sentiment is so well
developed that Taft and Johnson clubs
are being organized in many parts OF the
state The leaders believe that the Scan
dinavians will vote according to nation
atty, and, therefore, Jacobson will re
ceive from this source as many votes as
Johnson. Basing their calculations on
Minnesota's former normal Republican
majority of 1900. they say that Jacob
son will be elected. Unfortunately, the
Tribune's correspondent cannot snare
their sanguine expectations.
Inc assertion tnaI johnson is ldch-
ing that sense of propriety which is in
consonance with Rooseveltism" can be
passed over, as it is we'll known that
Roosevelt hasn't any sense of proprie-
ty. This prominent st. Paul Republi-
can business man has no doubt that as
between the two men Jacobson is bet
ter than johnson, but he's going to
vote for Johnson. The Tribune cor
respondent adds that a dozen other
men in the company were also going
to vote for Taft and Johnson, and that
Taft and johnson clubs are being or
ganized all over the state.
The same game is being tried in
Ohio, where a certain brand of Repub-
Iicans are organizing Taft and Harmon
clubs, and Illinois, where :. desperate
effort is being put forth 20 yoke Taft
with Stevenson in order to save the
national ticket from the wreck in No
vember. The jig's up with the Repub-
licans when they are compelled to re-
sort to such tactics in their former
strongholds.

THE M ETALS.
TAFT AND THE TARIFF.

Owing to the fact that the Republic
can candidate for president is a novice
on the stump perhaps some allowance
should be made for his numerous
lapses from strict accuracy while en-
deavoring to impress the rural voters
with sense of his importance He
cannot be excused. however, for his
reckless assertions concerning the
tariff. After charging up the panic of
'93 to the Cleveland administration.
which came full fourteen months be-
fore the enactment of the Wilson bill,
but which, nevertheless, Mr.. Taft
ascribes to that German bedeviled
measure, he proceeds to compare the
prices of farm products during the
Democratic administration with the
prices of today. and claims credit for
the Ugh protective tariff.
The faIlacy of this sort of argument
is exposed at once by comparing the
prices during the Cleveland admins
tration with those received during the
existence of the Morrill, tariff law
There are many men now living in
Kansas and Nebraska who can readily
call to mind the time when corn was
worth from 10 cents to a bit per bushel
the price being so low, in fact. that it
was used instead of coal for fuel. 1t
really wasn't worth hauling to mar
ket Then, too, under this same blessed
war tariff hogs brought only s1.95. If
the protective tariff is responsible for
the high prices OF today, what hap
pened TO the system in the '70s?
But Mr.. Taft's logic is lame in an
other direction. In Minnesota, a week
ago. he made use of the following lam
guage:
When they think of the results of DEM
ocratic control, of the lack of prosperity,
. of the business disasters. and Of the low
prices for farm products. and of the gen
erai business depression which we had
under four years of Democratic rule. and
then take up the marvellous prosperity
that we have had in the last twelve years
under Republican rule. il is hard to see
why intelligent men should hesitate how
they should vote.
Mr.. Bryan Las been before the people
for the last twelve years as candidate
of n party which was responsible for
the German Wilson tariff bill that laid
everything low. that sent down prices of
wheat below 30 cents, and that sent corn
down TO q cents; that sent oats down
to IS cents. and potatoes to z cents
Where are they now?
The figures given by Mr.. Taft are not
correct, 10 begin with. In one Of the
reports Of the department of commerce
and labor the following figures of the
prices of wheat, corn and oats for the
year 1894. the year in which the Wilson
bill was passed, and for each of the
succeeding three years during which it
was in force, are given:

It may be true that the White House
plan is for Taft to occupy the presi-

make a hit in the financial district in
