He Was a Poor Guesser.

He was a new conductor and anx- fous to expedite matters. When he saw woman holding two dollar bill in Der hand he dispensed with the customary exhortation to pay her fare and began to count out change. There had been drain on bis pockets throughout the trip, and he was obliged to interview half the passen- gers in the car before he finally se- cured the desired small coin. Finally the transaction was completed, and the conductor returned to the woman.
 "Fare?' he said.
 The woman fshed nickel from her pocketbook. Then she looked at the two dollar bill.
 "Dear me"' she said. How careless l am! l forgot I had that money in my hand. Somebody might have stolen it."
 "Cbump" growled the conductor
 The woman thought he meant her, but he didn't. He was cursing his own stupidity.-New York Globe

French Peasant Women Hard Worker.

The French peasant woman, Ere tonne or otherwise, works hard as any man. It makes one sad to see the women working in the fields, digging and delving. carrying heavy burdens, driving the cattle, sometimes attend ing to the machinery employed on the farms. One wonders whether bus bands and fathers appreciate it all, especially when you hear some of the ballads, for ballads are supposed to reveal the soul of people. l heard one the other day of which the refrain Is as follows:
 Dear is my good wife Jeanne,
 Her death l should deploTe.
 But dearer are my beaves,
 Their loss would grieve me more! from Plougastei. tFrancel Letter to New Orleans Times Democrat.

Among the democratic presidential
possibilities for 1912, are Governor John
A johnson of Minnesota Governor
Harmon of Ohio; ex-governor Folk of
Missouri; Governor Bryan of Fairview,
ct al. Since the democrats are sorting
over the gubernatorial tribe for presi-
dental material, it might be apropos
to suggest that the democrats put our
own Governor Shafroth of Colorado, in
training, and also start him in the race.
He resembles Bryan little when he
smiles; he practices imperialism, and
believes in ti-militiarism, according
to the viewpoint of the state militia,
and in addition possesses, other attri-
butes of Bryan's satiric teachings which
ought to insure him small democratic
following at least.

our modern millionaires should purchase
tract as large as one of our smaller
states; and yet the man does not live
who could manage farm the size of
the smallest county in the smallest
state, in such way as to get even
moderately good results from the whole

cultural, and not pasture range, which

herb yielding seed and the tree yielding

this law is written large in the evident

an obligation so sacred and so imper-
ative that it not only demands his best
powers of mind and body, but forbids
him to undertake more than he can car
ry out. For he has assumed the kin

WHAT MAKES THE BEST MAR
KETf

No intelligent person will contend
that Americans in this country can pay
the prevailing rate of labor now paid in
this country and manufac ture goods if
the Tariff is lowered to enable cheap
foreign productions to be unloaded here.
The Tariff was wisely created by the
Republican party fifty years ago to
build up the greatest manufacturing
fabric in the world. The advantages
offered by that policy have brought mill
lions of foreigners here because wages
and conditions were vastly better. The
Tariff alone made them SO,
Would foreigners come here if con-
ditions were no better than they are in
Europe?
No manufacturer of goods in this
country could live and pay the high
wages he pays if there was no barrier
against the foreign manufacturer pay
ing one-third or one-half the rate of
wages paid in this country and shipping
his products here. He could undersell
the home manufacturer, drive him out
of business or force him to reduce
wages of his help to the condition of
the cheap labor he would have to com
pete with. The facts are so plain that
a school boy can understand them.
And this is a matter in which every
farmer is vitality concerned. What
makes the market of the United States
the best in the world? 1t is the ability
of the American people to purchase
abundantly of what the farmer pro-
duces, isn't it?
And ninety odd per cent. of all that
the farmer produces is bought and con-
sumed in this country.
The free entry of European and trop-
ical goods made with cheap labor
would force home manufacturers to
cut wages so per cent, reduce the abil-
ity of the wage workers to buy farm
products, and what would be the effect
on the prices and consumption of what
the farmer has to sell? 1t don't require
much understanding or common sense
to figure this out ANY farmer can
reach the conclusion in few mo-
nents.
You can't buy goods made with cheap
foreign labor and maintain high wages
and good times in this country. You
gan kiss your hand on the book on that,
and be sure you are everlastingly
right.
The policy that has built up the
greatest manufacturing industry in
the world, that pays the highest wages,
thas has made the American wage
worker and the farmer the most pros
porous in all the world, is good policy
to tie to. The only opponents of it are
the importers and wholesalers of fore
ign goods who want our markets and
have no interest in American labor or
the American farmer. They are con-
cerned solely in their own pockets.
And the yelping howlers for Tariff re-
vision downward and for Free Trade
are the real enemies of the unbounded
prosperity that has been created by
adoption Of the principal of Protection
to the home industry.
Farmers, don't be mislead on this
subject. You don't have to be college
graduates to figure it out. The facts
and figures regarding conditions in the
United States the last forty years COM
pared with those in Europe speak for
themselves, and they speak the unvar-
nished truth of history. Bay City
(Mich.) National Farmer"
