Fergus Falls Wheelock's Weekly At
last we have an opinion from good
authority as to who gets the greatest
benefit from the protective tariff.
United States Senator Penrose told a
Philadelphia audience last week that
the chief benefclaries of the, tariff are
Pennsylvania and Philadelphia, and
warned them that any weakened
reluctance to support high tariff
nominees would merely furnish more
ammunition for Western agltators. = =
It is valuable testimony. We hope the
great number of citizens Of the West
who are not a8itators will see the
point and begin to agitate. d.

HIGH TARIFF HYPOCRISY.

St. Paul Pioneer Press: About the
meanest of the confidence games played
upon the American voters, by high
protectionists of the Cannon Aldrich
school. is their successful but
hypocrltical use Of the plea that high
duties mean high wages for working
men. The case of tho Pittsburg
foreign born steel workers.
beyond anything they had ever known
in their European homes-has already
been commented on. Now comes an
official report giving industrial
statistics for Rhode Island, year of
1908, as follows:
The wooden and worsted mills pay
their operators from s. to 50 per week,
and 80 per cent of these operatives are
foreign born. The cotton mills pay
from 81 to So per week, and 80 per
cent of their wage earners are foreign
born.
The silk mills pay from 81 to So per
week, and SO per cent of their wage
earners are foreign born.
The rubber interests pay from IS to
So per week. and 20 per cent of their
wage earners are foreign born.
BY which 1t will be seen that these
foremost boneticiarles of bloated
protection have succeeded in doing q
away not only with the high wages
once paid for American labor but in
most cases with the American Iaborer
himself! These men are doing their
very best to reduce their employees to
the condition of serfs. while through
the tariff they are coming unearned
millions at the expense of the
American consumer
Such exhibits as the foregoing are
converting former potectionists by
thousands into ee-traders The
triumph of the republican promise
breakers, in the passage of the Aldrich-
Cannon tariff bill, is likely to prove
one of those victories which are cost
lier than defeat.

THE LOCAL. PAPER IN THE
HOME

Bemidji Pioneer Journal: The local
newspaper should be found in every
home No child will grow up
ignorant who can be taught to ap-
preciate the home paper. It is the
stepping stone of intelligence in all
those matters not to be learned in
books. Give your children foreign
paper. which contains not one word
about any person, place or thing
which they ever saw or perhaps heard
of, and how can you expect them to
be interested? But let them have the
home paper and read OF persons
whom they meet, and places with
which they are familiar, and soon
an interest IS awakened which in
creases with every arrival OF the local
paper. ) .
Thus habit of reading is formed,
and these children will read the papers
all their lives and become intelligent
men and women, credit to their
ancestors, strong in their knowledge of
the world as it is today.

consecutive years swept off with the

MAY HAVE A LONG WAIT.

Sank Centre Herald: Governor
Eberhart went off on a river junket
with President Taft and lot of other
notables. leaving frank Day, Harvey
Grimmer and Ralph Wheelock to run
the state Why don't some of the
patriots who used to get up on their
hind legs and howl whenever the late
lamented John A. johnson left the
state for few days, raise their voices
in protest against the absence of the
new executive? We pause for a reply.
We would suggest to the Sank
Centre newspaper that while it
'pauses for reply" it should assume
as comfortable posture as it can
arrange. It's pause may be long one.

WHAT MAKES TIRED LAND.

What makes the land tired?
Farmer Jones is worried. His fields
are not nearly so productive as they
used to be. HIS corn does not yield so
many bushels to the acre, and even
the potatoes show lessened crops
This sort of thing tells on the bank
account. Farmer Jones Judges, from
all he can learn, that the soil is be-
coming exhausted-in other words.
that SO much OF the plant food 1T
originally contained has been taken
out of 1t by oft-repeated cropping that
is in measure used up. To resupply
it with plant food, he buys ana con-
tributes to the land quantities OF e1-
pensive fertilizers. They fail to pro-
duce the hoped-for result, and then
the unhappy farmer comes to the
melancholy conclusion that his acres
are ''worn out''-that Is to say,
rendered incapable for the future Of
yielding profitable returns.
Such worn out" LANDS comprise q
large part Of the state of Virginia.
They cover extensive areas in New
England and elsewhere in tho east. 50
hopeless are they considered for
agriculture that they can often be
purchased for a mere song. Abandoned
farms forsaken merely because they
are no longer productive may be
found scattered all over those sections
of the country. t..
And yet there is nothing really the
matter with these farms-at all events
nothing that ought to be very difficult
to remedy. Their soil IS just as good,
and capable of as abundant fruitful
ness. as it ever was-save tor the fact
that, through lack of proper use and
treatment, chemical substances of a
poisonous nature have accumulated in
it. It is these substances that render
the land unproductive.
The discovery of these ''soll
toxins, = as they are called, represents
one Of the newest and most important
additions to scientific knowledge in
relation to agriculture. 1t has already
gone far enough to enable the experts
of the government Bureau of Soils to
point to certain definite chemical com
pounds, represented by actual samples
contained in little bottles, as the
toxins in question. These substances
NOT all of which have been isolated
as yet, however known positively
and beyond question to be the poisohs
that cause soil fatigue q From

Senator Cummins' speech at Chi
cago disappointed many of his
admirers. There was a strain of
weakness running through it which
was surprising In view of the gallant
record of the senator. Admitting that
the tariff bill as passed was a
grlevous wrong. saying that the
central bank idea was dangerous,
claiming that railroad legislation so
far was largely futile, he weakened his
position on these questions by saying
he would fight for better things, II
defeated he would accept the result.
That does not sound like the Cummins
OF old.
