ALOcMSsUE.

General Hancock was defeated for
the presidency because he said the
tariff was local issue. A reader of
the debates of the present congress
on the tariff bill now pending will
readily see that in the defeat of Han
cock the people expressed prefer
ance for politician over statesman
for president.
1t is observed that some republi-
cans are clamorins for free trade and
some democrats are demanding pro-
lection, each disputant swayed by
the local interests of his constituents
affected by the tariff. The demo-
Gratis of Louisiana are demanding a
tariff on sugar, the republicans of
Minnesota are yelling for free trade
in lumber. The coal men of Ohio
are shouting take the tariff off of
coal, the coal men of West Virginia
are bowling keep it on. Massachus-
etts republicans are screaming for
free hides, those of Montana yell for
a tariff on hides. And so it goes
throughout the list.
Unpatriotic sel6shness is the guild
ing star of every one of these states
men. No one of them is big enough
to see beyond the horizon of his To-
cal and contracted constituency, and
he measures the welfare of the coun-
try by the votes of the corner gro
Gerry clique in his district.
West Virginia wants tariff on
lumber and coal. Massachusetts
doesn't care a tinkers continental
about lumber, but it wants free coal,
free.hides and free raw cotton and
raw wool. Montana wants tariff on
wool; North Carolina wants tariff
on lumber and Illinois wants it free.
And SO it goes all the way around
the circle. There's nothing in the
tariff but money-getting selfshness.
Whenever high protective tariff ad-
vocate is seen he may be safely spot
ted as one attracted by the lure OF
gold, provided he is person of in
telligence and comprehension. The
tariff is scheme of money getting
through operation of law and not
through thrift, energy and ability
and personal effort. 1t is therefore,
local issue -Parkersburg Sentinel.

After all is said. despite wealth
and luxury of the cities and towns,
the farmer is today, with his high
priced products, king of the country,
and he will remain so. His days of
universal farm mortgages and low
prices are over and will never come
again in those sections wher ehis lands
are accessible to market unless
Providence smites him with series
of plaques such as covered Egypt in
the days of the Pharohs.

deprived of the Sabbath rest which
is their inalienable right.
Resolved, 8. That we call atten-
ton of parents, Sabbath School SUI

SOME OBsERViTIONsAED IMPRESSIONS
WRITTENP FOR THE REGISTER.

1t has long been the cry that the
tendency of the young men growing
up on the farm was to go to the city !;
that the country districts were being
drained of the brain and Drawn that
ought to remain on the farm. There
was no question raised as to the truth
of the statement 1t was perfectly
apparent. Then, too, for half a cen
fury, more than ninety per. cent Of
the immigrants landing upon our
shores lodged in or around the cities
and towns. In the earlier history of
the country those who came were
English, Irish, German, Scotch,
Dutch or Scandinavians and they
went to the prairies or the forests of
the great Northwest, bewed out
homes and titled the soil, but in lat
er years the Indians, slavs, Hunsar-
ians and Litbuanians succeeding
them have come to seek job rather
than a home. Hence the popula-
ton in the cities and towns has been
swelIed by domestic and foreign i'm
migration while the country districts
have in some places been depopu-
lated in consequence.

There has recently come change,
a marked one, at that. The foreign
er is still seeking the center of pop
ulation but the native American is
barking back to the farm. The orig
inal Aryan was a tiller of the soil.
Aryan means of the earth. The
Semitic peoples and. the Mongols
were in clans or crowds, but even
back on the highland plains of Asia
four thousand years ago the Aryan
titled the soil, had his home, his
farm, long before he began his mi
grations westward that carried him
across the continent and later over
the Atlantic Ocean to the new home
on the Western Hemisphere. The
smell of the soil is in the Aryan
blood and today there is drifting
back from the town to the country.
Perhaps one cause of this just now
lies in the prosperous condition of
the farmers and the widespread bust
ness depression, which, with the
high prices of farm products, has
made life in the city expensive to all
and unbearable to those of small in
comes. But beyond and above that
is some greater reason, for the he
gira is not confined to the poor class
es. Indeed they are fewer in num-
Der than otherwise. Many young
men of means are seeking homes in
the country engaging in farming,
stock raising or horticulture, not
merely as a past time but as 4 voca-
ton.
