TO obtain from US a greater price upon

they charge to foreign nations after
paying freight across the seas and en-
tering into competition with free
trade countries and cheap labor, and
it seems reasonable To conclude that
we can accept the prophecy of Mr..
Cannon and others as being true, for
the reason that like prophesies have
always turned out to be true. for a
period of over 80 years, and in Judging
of the future one has no better guide
post to go by than the past.
The Democratic party has taken the
position land we will ask you, Mr.
Voter, II it be not fair and jusD, that
the whole system of high protective
tariff is iniquitous and wrong except
as applied to infant industries just
building up and in need of help. and

aggrandiZement of the special inter-
ests of the country, or to enlarge the
privileges and emoluments of the peo
pie preyed upon by those special in
terests; this paper respectfully sub
mits that if a man like Roosevelt shall
fail in such efforts. what is to be ex.
pected from one who possesses not
one-hundredth part of the personality
and power which he possesses?
We have taken up in previous is
sues Of this newspaper the glaring
and shameful wrongs being perpetrat
ed upon all the people by the gigantic
combinations of capital known as
trusts. and we venture the assertion
that no honest Republican will dis
agree in the assertion that these mon
ster combinations of modern CONNER
cial pirates are committing wrongs
against us all which cannot be ex.
cused or condoned. and which. If per
petrated by an individual. would land
him in the penitentiary. We doubt.
also, II an honest Republican can be
found who dares maintain that these
iniquitous business combinations are
not built up, fostered. maintained and
made possible under and by virtue of
the high protective tariff OF the Re
publican party, and that this high pro.
tective tarff has reached the point
where the American people are rising
up in protest against 1t is proven by
the fact that the Republican party
promises in its national platform a re.
vision thereof. This 1t has promised
repeatedly. and repeatedly failed to
keep the promise. Mr.. Bryan. in his
wonderful speech at Denver recently,
alluded to this fact in scathing de.
nunciation. and pointed out that while
the Republican party promises revi-
sion, It does not promise a lowering
of the tariff. and does not say whether
the revision is to be upward or down
ward. Speaker Joe Cannon. the Car
OF the House. and other eminent
statesmen of that party who have
taken stand pat" as their slogan. are
authority for the statement that no
revision will be made In the tariff that

went Roosevelt. is going to accom-
plish for us, for the American people,
what Mr.. Roosevelt has failed to ac-
complish? The reason for all this is
plain, 1t is 20 plan that school chilc
can understand it. 1t lies in the fact
that no matter how honest a Republi-
can executive may be. how much he
may desire to benefit the rank and file
of his people, he is surrounded. en-
compassed and handicapped by Sen
ate. a cabinet and by party command
ers who are dominated, absolutely and
entirely, by forces and interests that
have nothing in common with the
masses of the people. Those forces
and special interests furnish the mil
lions of dollars necessary for n politi-
cal victory, and those votes and that
vast accumulation of money they will
not furnish unless their special inter
ests are taken care of and protected.
This is only business. This is only
human nature. You know it is true,
and we all know it Is true. The com
manding forces of the campaign must
yield to these demands or lose the
fight they are carrying on for their
party's supremacy. And the Republi'
can Senate and House and cabinet
and others in high offices are CON
trolled by these forces and are forced
to deliver the goods promised prior to
the battle; SO that the president. If he
be Republican, is SO placed. so man.

Roosevelt. n good. honest and honor

A SiIo Story.

This little story was told by an In
diana dairyman In representing the
importance Of the silo to the farmer:
compelling the cow to eat dry fodder
instead of rich, Juicy silage reminds
me of story a well known evangelist
tells. A lady who prided herself on
never turning q tramp empty handed
from her door was accosted one day
by q member of the hobo fraternity
when, as 1t happened, she had nothing
but bread to offer him; but, cutting a
thick slice, she handed 1t to him, say
ing, Il give you this not for your sake
or for mine, but for the Lords sake
The tramp took the bread and, turn
ing 1t over and over in his hand, final
ly said, My dear madam, not for your
sake or for my sake. but for the Lords
sake, please put little butter on this
bread If the cow could speak. no
doubt she would say, Not for your
sake or for my sake, but for the sake
of the milk pail. build a silo.'"

want to lose 1t. always put the stuff
directly on my garden patches here

Both Quantity and Quality.

No way is known whereby the real
value of cow may be determined
without an actual test. The most con-
venient and satisfactory test now
known is the use of scales and the
Babcock test for determining the per
cent Of butter fat in the milk. The
use of milk scales without butter fat
determination does not give the whole
facts; neither does a butter fat deter
mination without consideration Of
the amount Of milk throw much light
upon the real worth Of cows. Both
quantity and quality Of milk need to
be considered-in short, must be con-
sidered-if we are to learn the real
facts in regard to our dairy cows.

The giant water lilies which are

Piueon Pointers.

When training young birds do not

old birds and also that they require
greater care.
Few fanciers realize how first class
birds are bred. In year many fairly

jacks are few and scarce:
Don't be in hurry to become a big

The Best Sduabs.

!. seems to be the rule that begin.
ne"s in the squad business have de-
sire to own white birds, but those that
have followed the business for any
length of time care little what the
color may be so long as the bird pro-
duces a light skinned squad. White
birds as a rule are not as hardy and
do not generally do as well as colored
birds. Some Of the best squads are
from pure white and colored, red pre-
ferred, mated together.
