FROM THE

THE FARMERS INTEREST.

Cadillac (Mich) reader of The
Commoner writes: The farmers should
be with us on the tariff and trust
questions. Around here the farmers
are getting Az cents pound for
hides, against II cents year ago. Yet
the price of leather is as high as it
was last year, and no immediate prom
Use of reduction, and his shoes and
harness are costing him fully as much
as a year ago. This year our farmers
received Is cents for wool against
price of "a year ago, yet the Amer
ican Woolen Company that controls
about 20 per cent. of the leading
woolen mills of the country is charg-
ing as much for wooden cloths as a
year ago and the farmer must pay as
much for his clothing as he did last
year and he is lucky if he does not
get more cotton in his clothes than he
does wool. Let us direct our efforts
to convince the farmers and laborers
that their interests lie with us. Along
that line lies the road to victory"
Yes, and the farmers should be
with us on the question of an eco
nomical administration. They should
be with us in the protest against the
exercise of arbitrary power by the
speaker, whereby the house of repre-
sentatives has ceased to be a popular
government.
They should be with us in the con-
demnation of the misuse of patronage;
in the demand for railroad regulation
that will regulate; in the advocacy of
publicity for campaign contributions
before election day.
They should be with us in the oppo-
sition to that Capitalization which
would destroy our system of govern
ment and ultimately make it neces-
sary for the farmer, as well as other
citizens, to look to the national cap
ital. rather than % the state capital
and the county seat, when seeking re-
lief from corporate abuses.

TRIAL BY JURY, TOOL

Referring to the decision of the
United States court Of appeals in over
turning Judge Landis' fine of the Stan
ard Oil Company, the Chicago Record
Herald says:
THE members of the court scath-
ingly arraigned Judge Lands, by in
ference. as denying the right of trial
by jury to the defendant corporation
of attempting to visit punishment upon
a corporation which had not even been
indicted and of setting his personality
and beliefs above the law"
Many Republican papers heartily
approve the decision. Some of them
are indignant that Judge Lands "by
inference" denied to the Standard Oil
Company "the right of trial by jury"
but they condemn the efforts of Demo
Gratis who insist that the right of trial
by jury be accorded to individuals in
indirect contempt cases.

NOT IssUEs!

Attorney General Wade H. Ellis Of
Ohio, who was a member of the COM
mittee on resolutions in the Repub-
lican national convention, issued a
statement in which, referring to the
propositions voted down in the Re-
publican convention, he says: "Of the
seven omissions he (Mr. Bryan) re-
fers to, six are in no sense issues be-
fore the people at this time, nor has
there been any attempt to make them
such by the administration, nor by any
other influential element in the party.
The seventh concerns injunctions."
Many Republican papers suppressed
this portion Of Mr.. Ellis statement.
The reason for the suppression will
be readily understood when it is re-
membered that among the PROPOSE
tions which Mr.. Ellis says are "in no
sense issues before the people" are
the following:
Publicity of campaign contributions.
Ascertaining the value of railroads.
The national income tax.
The encroachment OF predatory
wealth.
Popular election Of United States
senators.
Mr.. Ellis has, perhaps. noticed that
since the publication of his state
ment the Republican candidate for
president has given proof that he has
discovered that the people have some
concern in the publicity-of-campaign.

"AFTER THE ELEcTIoN.v

A dispatch to the Chicago Tribune
under date of New York, July 22. fol-
lows: THE report that the Standard
Oil Company is about to announce an
increase of $500,0000OO in it's capital
stock was received with great interest
in the financial district here to-day.
Similar rumors have been circulated
several times in the last few wears,
particularly in the west, but generally
they have been met with denials by
the Standard Oil interests A promi-
nent financier who has close relations
with the Standard Oil Company said
1 am sure that it is the same old
story revived again and that there is
nothing in it. Certainly this would
be most inopportune time to take
any such action, with presidential
election only few months ahead of
us. l suppose it is possible that some
thing of that kind may be done some
time in the future, but not this year.
not now"
This would be "a most inopportune
time" to pump half billion gallons of
water into the Standard Oil stock. If
anything like that is done it will be in
accordance with other Republican
plans after election"
After the election" the tariff will
be revised-by a party that derives it's
campaign funds from the special bene-
ficiaries of the tariff.
After the election" the contribu-
tions to the campaign fund will be pub
lished-when it is too late for the peo-
pie to learn that the trusts pay the
bills for the Republican campaign.
After the election" Standard Oil
trust stock will be watered-if that
course suits the purposes of the Rock

Rancocas stud for Canada.

Following close upon the visit of Mrs.
Lillian A. B. Livingstone, owner of the
famous Rancocas Stock Farm, to the
Hamilton, Ontario, race course yesterday,
there gained currency report that she
had sci, cted Canadian stock farm upon
which to locate thirteen stations and 100
brood mares now at Jobstown. Mrs
Livingstone in talking of the matter said:
There is nothing definite as yet. am,
however looking over the ground because
of the dubious state of affairs in the United
States. There has been terrible depre-
citation this year in thoroughbred values.
l sold SO, 200 mare for $65 not long ago.
The late w. c. Whitney offered me mill
lion dollars for Rancocas and declined.
Later James r. Keene offered me quarter
of million and l refused. l have tried
cattle breeding and stock raising at Ran
cocas, but 1t is suitable only for horses.
AS l have said, have not positively de-
termined what to do. do not know
how much the farm would bring to-day"
Rumor had it that Mrs. Livingstone had
chosen Oakville Farm, midway between
Toronto and Hamilton, as the future home
of her thoroughbreds. In the lifetime of
the late Pierre Lorillard he raced many of
the products of Rancocas Stud with great
success In England.
