"A QUESTION OF BUSINESS. ;
Why the Farmers Business. Like
Every Other Business, Calls for the
Election of Taft and sherman.

ut IS a question Of business" said Mr..
Taft to the Nebraska farmers. In point.
ing out why they should vote for repub.
lean candidates and policies IN the COM
Ing election. 1t certainly 10 a very seri-
Gus question OF business not only for
the farmers, but FOR the wage-earner. the
manufacturer. the merchant. for every
one who has anything to buy or sell. in
the form OF labor or OF any product Of
labor. whether the republican principle
OF protecting American labor and its
products shall be maintained or Ameri-
can industry shall be handed over to
Bryan and his free trade associates, to
be stripped OF protection. and exposed
detenceless to European and other for
egn competition.
Any American farmer who doubts that
it is a question OF business can settle
his doubts by visiting the locality where
Red River Of the North crosses the
Canadian boundary line. Pern6ina In
Minnesota and Emerson in the Canadian
province OF Manitoba are on that line,
IN the midst Of a great WITHDRAWING
region. The two villages named lie side
by side. They are equally distant from
Liverpool According to the Bryan theory
that the American farmer needs no pro-
lection. the price OF wheat ought to DO
the same in both villages. But accord
ing to Representative McCleary OF Min.
nesota, 1t Is not. The wheat OF the far
NOR who markets at pembina flways
brings more. often as much as Is or 20
cents bushel more. than that OF tho
man who markets at Emerson.
The reason that the wheat OF the Amer
lean farmer sold In Pemberton brings Q
higher price is that the farmer on this
side of the limo has the great and popu-
lcus home market OF the United States
at his door with more than eighty mil
lions Of consumers, The Canadian farmer
has no such homo market and must dis
pose OF hts wheat abroad. The American
home market WAS created and Is main
tanned by the republican policy OF pro-
tecting American industries. and also %
protecting the American farmer from
the growing competition OF Canada ana
Argentina. which. with protection re-
moved could pour vast quantities OF
grain into the United States, thus put
ting stop to the prosperity Of our
American farmers. and reducing them 20
hand -to-hand existence.
Plainly. as Mr.. Taft says, Il IL a Ques-
! ton of business for the farmers Of the
West and OF every section OF the Union

tariff by the enemies OF protection. but
that the work OF revision shall DO In.

Although the open season for flies Is
almost at an end. 1t is announced that
the campaign against this household
pest which has been waged by the
Merchants Association of This city un-
der the direction OF Edward Hatch. Jr.,
is not to be discontinued. The scientist
employed by the association is now sum-
maria!ng the results of his observations
during the summer, These show that
the height of the ~ season was reached
/, July and that the periods when the
greatest number OF deaths from diar-
rhoe1l diseases occurred correspondent
closely with the times when the largest
number OF flies were captured ut the
fv catching station maintained by the
association. a pretty good indication that
tho flies were responsible for most Of the
trouble. Incidentally the examination OF
eighteen specimens ~ what are de-
scribed as "swill-bn rel fies" disclosed
the fact that they carried the tidy num-
Der OF u.s. $4,000 bacteria, or over 6hro,ooo

Learn a Trade

Forty dollars a month for bank
clerk, four dollars day for skill
ed 1aborer. That is about the rate
of wages at the present time. And
yet you will find four bank clerks
to one skilled laborer. Every bust
ness college is crammed to the linn
it with young people who want to
fit themselves for a business course
and who will go out from school to
take a nine dollar a week Job.
Every line of skilled labor is calling
for men at wages that would make
the graduate of the business college
turn sick at the contrast, and the
men are not forthcoming. 1t is
hard to persuade boy to learn a
trade as it is to persuade politician
to read his bible. He prefers a
position at $40 month to a job
twice that amount What is the
reason? Are we fostering an aris-
tocracy of store clothes? Do the
young folks imagine that there is
some inherent elegance in an occu-
patton which they can follow in a
boiled shirt and starched collar
which is not to be found in blue
overalls? Is it considered more
fitting for gentleman to wear a
silk necktie and a big seal ring and
be noted clerk or barber, than to
wear a blouse and overalls and be
an Edison or a Michael Angelo?
Are we building our dreams of flu
ture magnifcence on a pretty suit
of clothes? Present indications
point too much in that direction.
And the pity of it is that the boy
who starts in to do nice work usual
1y keeps right the same evel all his
life, while the boy who goes in at
the bottom and learns the drudgery
often becomes the owner of the
business in the end.-Exchange.
