pose horse Is the favorite farm horse.
while others reject this type with
scorn. There Is no agreement as to
what is the general purpose horse.
The writer is familiar with certain
community in Illinois where the
French coach horse is bred and sold
by farmers. Horse buyers go there
from Chicago and other cities to buy
these horses for the city markets as
carriage horses. We know Of geld
ing from this community which was a
hrst prize winner at the New York
horse show. This fellow had been
sold for 5000 to go to New York.
The farmers in that community have
a right to, be proud of their coach
horses. And you couldn't convince
them that the French coach horses are
not general purpose horses. They are
used for all farm purposes and fail In
none. They weigh from 1,1O0 to 1,40O
pounds. They are heavy enough to
pull the plow in the field or load of
hay or grain to town. And, when 1t
comes to hitching to the buggy or car
riage to drive to town on any day of
found. Moreover, these horses are
usually docile and breed unusually
true to type. Who can dispute their
title to being classed as general pur-
pose horses? But that is far from say
ing that they are the best general pur-
pose horses or the best farm horses.
We have no quarrel with the man who
is partial to them. -
AS for heavier horses. the Belgian.
we are glad to say, is becoming in.
creasingly common in this country.
He is the extreme type Of draft :horae:
He cannot be called general purpose
horse. There are some things he cannot
do to the best advantage, but for the
purposes to which he is adapted he is
a very valuable horse: Even insdraft
horses there are several types. The
Percheron is the most popular draft
horse in this country; and he deserves
about all that can be said in his favor.
He is not quite SO outstanding, has NOT
always quite SO impressive a sway OF
going'' as the best - Shires. 'haye.
Neither, on the other hand. Is he: 50
massive, so wide. SO close to- the
ground, not always SO strongly mus
cled as the Belgian, but the Percheron
is, of course, a true draft horse and
deserves all his popularity and more.
The Shires are attracting more and
more attention at our great fairs and
live stock shows, and their popularity
Is certain to increase. -" ~e - ss:.
It pays to raise the draft horse on
the farm. But every man to his trade.
Some men can handle one kind :, of
horse and some another kind. Much
derends on the kind of horse one has
been trained to handle. and much de-
pends also on ones taste in horse
flesh. If you don't like the heavy
horse, let him alone.

\. contest between Nebraska
republicans is on, 1t is Taft

supporter wrote to the Lincoln
Journal insisting that Mr.. Taft
should be nominated because he is
a fearless fighter against preda :

gression;" also that there is no
question as to his (Taft's) position
upon every point in what we have
come to recognize as the Roosevelt
policy" Frank A. Harrison, the
LaFollette leader in Nebraska, has
propounded to this particular Taft
boomer the following questions:
When did Mr.. Taft declare his posi-
ton on the policies now before
the country? When did he make
this fearless fight against preda-
tory wealth and corporate aggres-
sion?' Surely DR.. Ely did not re-
ceive this Information by the pro-
cess of mental telepathy. If Mr..
Taft's chief recommendation is
that he is Endorsed by Roosevelt
then by the same reasoning are not

AREyENUE TARIFF

Opposed to the policy of protec-
ton for projections sake stands
the policy of a revenue tariff.
While twenty-five per cent tariff,
levied for the purpose of raising
revenue, gives the same protection
in any particular schedule that a
protective tariff of the same rate
would give, there is a wide differ
ence between the two systems. I'm
der a revenue tariff the law is so
drawn as to raise revenue, and the
government stops collecting when
it gets enough; under the protec-
tive system the schedules are die.
tated by the bene6ciaries of the
tariff, and may be so arranged that
the people will bear heavy bur-
den and the treasury receive but
little revenue, and those who fix
the duties never know when to stop.
That a protective tariff law can
be used to raise an industry to any
desired height must be admitted,
but a lever will not act without a
fulcrum, and the masses have served
as fulcrum and born the pressure
while a few have enjoyed the ben
efltS.
The present tariff is not only in
defensible in principle, indefensible
as matter of policy and indefen-
sible on the ground of necessity,
but it has exerted and still exerts
a corrupting influence in politics.
The government has been regarded
as a private asset in business, and
manufacturers have used the cleo
tions as a slot machine, putting in
campaign contributions and the
votes of employees and drawing out
larger dividends. Public sentiment
has been debauched and the public
conscience scared. Tariff reform
will not only reduce taxation anc
lead to the more equitable distri
button of the proceeds of toll, bu'
it will help to purify politics by
restricting the government to it:
legitimate sphere of action, driving
lobbyists from the national capito
and reducing the campaign fund
to reasonable proportions.
The substitution of a tariff Levied
for the purpose of raising revenu
for tariff levied primarily for tn
purpose of protection seems Ekel,
to be one Of the important reform
that will come in the near futur,
as a result of the present awaken
ing-Commoner.
