the multitude. 1t is not merely
the political haranguer, eager to
pat the farmer on the back and
get his vote, who is now saying
this, but the farmer is himself
saying it and realizing its full
import. There was and is much
more than mere empty words in
that recent complaint that so
many newspapers were disposed
to treat flippantly, that the
farmers were concentrating the
wealth of the country. The
man of the field is concentrat-
ing the wealth because he owns
the land from which must come
all the wealth.
Then, again, farming is not
the hazardous matter it was only
a few years ago. Farming is a
business; agriculture is as nearly
an exact science as anything can
be exact that must in a measure
depend on nature. But with
the improvement of machinery,
the development of methods, ir-
rigation, and, above all, the ap-
plication of brains, farming is
growing less and less dependent
on nature every year. The farm
er of today is a business man;
he is to a large extent mer-
chant, in the sense that he sells
what he produces and buys what
he needs, and he is/to some ex-
tent a manufacturer, in the
sense that he consumes much of
his own raw material and sells
the manufactured product.
Another great factor that
adds value to the advice to get
the land is, that farming lands
are rapidly rising in value. Of
course, there are specific excep-
tions to this rule, but as a gen.
eral proposition land fit for
farming is growing higher in
price steadily. This is true for
the very simple reason and very
good reason that vacant tillable
land is getting scarcer and
scarcer all the time. Swamps
have been drained, and what
there remains of this character
of soil is rapidly being put un-
der cultivation. Arid lands are
being irrigated and sown to
crops. The government is TAX
ing a hand on a large scale in
both the methods Of bringing
under the dominion of the hus-
ban Oman the territory that has
long been allowed to lay idle
and untitled. This land is be-
} ing taken up by settlers as fast
as it can be put to use. Where
. there were few years ago great
areas of vacant land-land be-

President Roosevelt Points Out I'm
portance of Electing Legislators

President Roosevelt. In letter to
William B. Mckinley, chairman OF the
Republican Congressional Committee
appeals to dislnterested citizens to join
with the National Republican Commit
tee and the Congressional Committee in
movement to elect William II. Taft
as President and Republican Congress
to support him, saying, In part:
1T is urgently necessary from the
standpoint of the public interest, to
elect Mr.. Taft, and Republican Con-
grcss which will support him; and they
seek election on a platform which spe-
officially pledges the party, alike In Its
executive and legislative branches, to
continue and develop the policies which
have been not merely introduced, but
acted upon during these seven years.

ried through only by the hearty cooper
alton of the President and the Congress
In both Its branches, and 1t is therefore
peculiarly important that there should
obtain such harmony between them. To
fail to elect Mr.. Taft would be calam-
ity to the country and 1t would be
folly while electing him, yet at the
same time to elect Congress hostile
to him, a Congress which under the In
fiuence of partisan leadership would be
certain to thwart and battle him on
every possible occasion. To elect Mr..
Taft, and at the same time to elect
Congress pledged to support him, is the
only way in which to perpetuate the
policy of the government as now car
ried on feel that all the aid that can
be given to this policy by every good
citizen should be given; for this is far
more than a merely partisan NATTER

BRYAN THE FREE.TRADER
Stands To-day as He Did When in
Congress for Free Trade.
He Pronounced the Wilson-Gorman
Free Trade Bill Just and
Honorable.

In the record of Mr.. Bryan's public
career he is officially identified will
just one important measure of fedora
legislation, and that the Wilson, German
tariff act of 1894. AS a member of the
House Committee on Ways and Means
during President Cleveland's second ad
ministration Mr.. Bryan assisted In pre-
pairing that measure and In its com
pleted form it bore his unqualified ap-
proval. His advocacy of the bill drew
sharp and clear the dividing line be.
tween the Democracy of Organism and
the Democracy of Grover Cleveland
Mr.. Bryan pronounced the measure just
and honorable. President Cleveland de-
nounced it as "the creature Of perfidy
and dlshonor," refused to sign 1t, and II
became a law without his approval
The distinction thus drawn between the
Bryan Democracy and the Cleveland
Democracy continues to this day.
Free Trade Disastrous.
Inasmuch as Mr.. Bryan is posing
this year as the special friend and
champion Of the farmers, 1t Is worth
while to point out how their interests
were affected by the only important law
he ever helped to create. The Wilson
German act repealed the duty on wool.
On January I. 1893, two months after
President ClevelaDd's second election,
the sheep in the United States, accord
ing TO official statistics, numbered AT
273,553 and were valued at $125, 800, 254.
At the close of Mr.. Cleveland's term,
thanks to the balefnl influence of the
free trade act which Mr. Bryan had
helped to force upon the statute book,
the number Of sheep In the country had
fallen to 36,S18,G43, having a value of
$G0,020,942. In other words, the sheep
herds had suffered a loss of more than
100000, or nearly % per cent, and

declined in value about $5S,000,00O, or
nearly 80 per cent, all through the OPP
Grafton Of law which found one of
its most ardent supporters In the per.
son of ''the farmers friend" William
J. Bryan.
In 1893, under the fostering care of
tariff protection, the wool Of the coun-
try amounted to 303,000,00O pounds
in 1895, under the blighting effect of
free trade, 1t fell to 100000, 600 pounds.
In 1891, with the tariff restored, it
rose to 3O2,000000 pounds and to 316,.
100000 pounds In 1902. During the
four years Of President Cleveland's sec
ond term the measure which he de-
nounced as "the creature of perfidy and

Itheless enthusiastically endorsed, sad

But still In ninteen hundred he could
not the People fool;
The People still would rule!
"Shall the People rule" asks Bryan.
Does he think the nation daft?
Is there any cause for wonder that the
People see his craft?
or course, they'll keep on ruling, and
their Leader will be Taft!
The People still will rule!
Taft is running on his record. while
Bryan runs away
From the Paramount Issues" which he
held the other day;
And what he'll hold tomorrow no NOR

The People still shall rule!
We believe In honest banking, but not
in guarantees .
To secure bank deposits that may tend

However much such methods some cum

We intend to vote for William-but not
