The Farmer is King,

Edgar Allen Forbes in a current
has an exceedingly interest
ing article on the value of a years
farming to the United States. The sta
tistics are taken from the annual re-
ports of the government for 1907.
The acreage in corn last year was a
scant 1,000,000,000 = three times the
area of the state of Wisconsin. The
wheat acreage was in round numbers
$4,000, 000-more than the entire area
of the New England states. Hay was
gathered from almost as many acres
as wheat; $4,000 square miles were
planted with oats, and as much more
yielded our cotton crop. The American
farmer grows four out of every five
bales of the worlds cotton, and seven
out of every eight cars of corn" II
last years tobacco crop had been made
into cigars, "the supply would have
lasted 100000 men for so years, each
man smoking 10 cigars day."
If all of last years corn crop had
been shipped to Europe, it would have
required Alps express steamers OF
$4,000 tons register to deliver it, II
the wheat crop had been sent to the
far east to save it from famine, "the
largest fleet in the world, with its $50
vessels of all sizes, would have requir
ed Is round trips to move it,"

REVISION UPWARD.
Republican Tariff Revisionists Dis
gusted With Paity's Position,

The following lamentation from Col
lier's Weekly. which is supporting Mr..
Taft under protest, shows how upsat-
isfactory to progressive Republicans is
the tariff plank of their platform and
the public statement of their candi-
date on this subject:
The tariff plank of the present Re
publican platform is, in effect, the
strongest demand for prohibitive
high tariff ever put in the national
platform of any party, and Mr.. Taft's
speech of acceptance Is little stron-
ger than the platform plank, for he
frankly suggests the revision of GER
tain schedules upward. At the Repub-
lican convention minority plank de-
handing tariff merely equal to the
difference between the cost of produc-
ton at home and abroad was kicked
out of the committee ON resolutions by
| a vote of 80 to 1 and out of the con-
vention itself by vote of 952 to So.
A minority plank favoring tariff COM
mission was bundled out of the reso-
lutions committee and the convention
itself by the figures already named"

A Bad Come Back on Taft. .

When Mr. Taft was in Chicago re-

hence it is sometimes safe for repub-
lican orators and office seekers to call

spoke to select company who had
been specially invited to hear him,
end who were admitted by card only.
After Mr.. Taft had sought to explain
lis famous injunction in the Toledo
and Ann Arbor case, and to justify his
action, one of his hearers asked if the
late P. M. Arthur, who was grand
chief of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers, had not denounced
that decision.
To this question Mr.. Taft replied,
HE did, until he read the decision,
which was a long one. After Mr.. Ar
thur had read it, however, he came
to the conclusion that the decision
was just
Mr.. Arthur is dead and cannot re-
flute Mr.. Taft's claim that he approved

fcvidence, however, still in existence,

assertion. AS grand chief of the
brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
Mr.. Arthur was also editor of the
journal of the brotherhood. Long after
| Judge Taft's decision, and while Mr.
Arthur was still editor of the journal
there appeared in that paper strong
editorial denouncing it.
The editorial concludes as follows

speaking A third subcommittee is at
work abroad studying foreign mar
kets and tariff systems. This one is
headed by the champion of tarif re-
visers, Senator Aldrich of Rhode Is
land, who is known to have no SYM
pathy for that promising tariff CRATER,

Hale of Maine, will kill two birds with

rency systems as well as tariffs.
This summer resort method OF pre-
pairing for tariff revision perhaps Is ex-
planned by the remark of Reviser Bur-
rows, as told by the Tribune, that
"the people expect the constructive
party TO evolve a tariff bill in which,
no industry is sighted or overlooked"
Some industry may have been over
looked by Dingley which needed pro-
lection and was too modest to ask
for it. The senators are looking
around for products that We're put on
the free list by mistake, hoping to
correct the error in the coming prom
