Little Credit Due Tariff Law.

The recent statement concerning
the beauties of the new tariff law,
lately given out at Washington, does
not seem greatly to have impressed
the country. The papers were quick
to see that, after deducting the $685.

proved business methods In the GUS
tom houses, and making allowance for
the imports rushed in In advance OF
the abrogation of the reciprocity
treaties, we should have had a cons1d-
cradle deficit. The purpose evidently
was to make the people believe that
it was the tariff that was working so
well. There has been an increase IN
revenue derived from customs, 1t 10
true, but it is not considerable, and Of
late has been shrinking. The Journal
of Commerce says that such a shut
fling statement as was put out in the
absence of the secretary Of the treas
ury, and it is to be hoped without his
knowledge, is a discredit to the ad-
ministration." It Is not meant to
serve as an official statement, but as a
campaign document.

PROGRESS MADE IN DAlRYING
Probably Greatest Advance Achieved
In Cooperative Enterprises In
That Industry.

Probably the greatest advance in CO
operative enterprises among American
farmers, with the possible exception
Of fruit growers, is found in the meth
DDS practised by dairymen, says Or
n e Judd Farmer. The growth OF CO.
operative creameries throughout the
middle west, especially during the
past IL or Is years, has been very ex-
tensive. This movement began with
the establishment Of separating sta
tions for receiving whole milk from
farmers at the time Of theintroduction
Of separators of large capacity. Some
times these plants were owned by
farmers associations and operated
upon the cooperative plan. Some
times they were owned by large
creamery concerns, who received the
milk from the farmers, separated 1t
and paid each patron according to the
amount of butterfat actually received.
Sometimes this cream was sold In
bulk to the big creamery concerns,
while in other plants 1t was churned
and the butter marketed direct.
The most complete cooperation Is
found in those plants where the entire
operations are carried on by the farm.
ers themselves, but there are certain
elements of cooperation in all of them.
For, instance, a number of farmers
could club together for the delivery Of
milk to the separating station and the
return of skinned milk to the farms,
thus reducing the expense and labor
for all concerned. These receiving
stations for whole milk have been dis
placed in nearly every instance by
cream receiving stations. .
This has been brought about by the
extensive introduction Of hand separa-
tors, 30 that the actual work Of sepa-
ration Is done by each farmer for him.
self and only the al disposed Of.
In many sections this cream is re-
ceived by local creamertes, owned
either individually or by farmers as
sociations, is churned and the butter
marketed direct from there. In this
case there are large amounts Of but
termilk to be disposed Of as a by-prod-
uct. If this is apportioned among the
farmers, according to the amount Of
cream received, the amount given each
is too small to be Of any value. So 1t
is customary to have the creameries
dispose of the entire output Of butter
milk for a year in advance to some'in-
dividual farmer or group Of farmers,
according to the highest bidder, and a
return of from 25 to so cents per bar
rel may thus be obtained by the

More Soothing Sirup.

Further revision Of the tariff Is to
be recommended by President Taft,
according to an unofficial statement
sent out from Washington. He is
quoted as demanding that "exortion'
ate and unreasonable profits" by pro.
ducers no longer shall be tolerated.
This evidently is another dose OF
the presidents famous soothing strip,
1t Is especially significant that it Is
administered just as Mr.. Roosevelt
was about to circulate through insur'
gent strongholds.
Memory Of the presidents abject
surrender to the Aldrich-Cannon

minds Of the voters. With due defer
ence to his belated concession to an
aroused public sentiment, they will in
sist on electing a congress that can
be depended on to enact that senti-
ment into law.

WASTE OF PEOPLES MONEY
Enormous Expenditures Of the Gov
eminent Shown Here by Com
parison.

National expenditures for the ensu'
ing year made and authorized by con-
gress amounted to s1.098, S47.1S4-con-
siderably more than a thousand mil
lions! Let us see what that fact
means.
l. 1t means that we are spending
every year nearly n per cent. of our
entire national wealth-$120, O0O, OOO,-
900; or nearly one-half of the national
wealth of Switzerland-$2,4O0 900, 900;
or of Portugal-$2, 500, 600, 900; or
more than one-fifth Of the national
wealth of the thrifty Netherlands
S. Oo, OOO, 1000. :
2. 1t means that we are spending
every year more than the entire as
sessed valuation, real and personal, OF
most of the states in the union, in
only IA of which is there property in
excess of a thousand millions.
3. 1t means that we are spending
every year almost as much money as
all the farms, city lots and buildings
in so great and rich a state as Indi-
ana are worth for taxation-S1,11O,-
391, 659. ,
4. 1t means that we are spending
in one year one-third of the entire
output of all our gold mines in 100
years, 5000, 1877
5. 1t means that we spend every
year more than the entire capital of
all the national banks in the United
States-$919 ,143, 825-and nearly one
third of all our savings bank deposits
-$3,713,405,7 09. ,.
6. It means that we spend in one
year one-third Of the value Of our for
eign commerce-3,055,115,13 1873.
7. It means that we spend each year
our entire corn crop-2,668 ,651, 600
bushels, and that our wheat crop for
a single year-664, 602, 900 bushels
would be sufficient to run the govern
ment only six months.
8. 1t means that, excluding Sundays
and holidays, there is spent at Wash
ington every day in the year the enor-
nous sum of $3,567,685.66! .'
9. It means that for every man.
woman and child in the country we
spend each year $11.
10. 1t means that for every family
in the United States the yearly ex-
penditure at Washington is $55.
If the waste at Washington is $780,
600, 900 alyear, as Senator Aldrich has
intimated, every American family suf-
fers by this prolifigacy to the extent
Of $16.66 every twelvemonth.
This is enough to buy a suit OF
clothehs. 1t will buy al o%vercoat or
a cloak. 1t will buy a good dress. 1t
will furnish a room. 1t will buy near
ly three tons Of anthracite coal. 1t
will buy four or five pairs of shoes. 1t
will buy two or three barrels of flour
or over three hundred loaves Of short
weight bread.
The cost, of one neutrality-suspicious.
900 to SIS, 900, 900, needless and an in
centive only to jingoism and war
would endow a great university, estab-
lish and support a dozen fine hospitals
or equip and maintain forever one
hundred good libraries.

Worth Thinking Over.

One single swearing, yile-minded
hired man will soon corrupt the boys
of an entire neighborhood.
The city boy whose eyes open every
morning On the blank wall o. a fiat
building and who has never seen the
sun rise or the clouds gather and the
storm break as the country boy does
cannot know the of freedom and
Joy and power which they convey.
If we would help ourselves we can
do no better than to be helping others.
Maybe one reaso why boys leave
the farm is because their standpoint
of work is set at that Of a full grown
man-let up on the boy.
We cannot hew close to the line If
we have a private az to grind.
The man who does his duty best
never thinks of 1t as a duty.

Mo More Arpument Needed.

In his enumeration Of platform
pledges fulfilled, Mr.. Taft specifies the
promise that the tariff revision should
be so made as to cover only the differ
ence In cost of production at home and
abroad and q. reasonable profit to
manufacturers. No Democratic wit
nesses need be summoned to estab-
lish the fact that not even a pretense
was made at following this rule. All
it is necessary to do Is to summon
Senator Cummins to the stand, who,
IA a series of powerful speeches In
Kansas and other portions Of the
west, has shown that the platform ut
terances on this point were totally dis
regarded and seemed even to have
been forgotten.

Taft's Weak Argument.

Congress has been In adjournment
less than two months. 1t would have
been so easy for the Republicans, had
they been sincere, to make at the last
session those changes in the Aldrich
law demanded by Mr.. Taft instead of
at the mex session or the session
thereafter. Mr.. Taft's argument Is
that If a man refuses to do a. he
agreed the first time, that is all the
more reason for asserting that he will
do it the second time.

Republican Hypocrisy.

What fools the Republican leaders
must think the voting citizens Of the
United States are. Mr.. Roosevelt has
taken occasion to declare his approval
Of President Taft's suggestion regard
ing revision of the tariff By taking up
one schedule at a time. He subscribes
unquahfedly to the humbug theory
that this program will be a successful
shock absorber in so far as business Is
concerned. The November elections
will show how far this device Of po-
litical hypocrisy mas succeeded.

A Work Shop on the Farm.

Every farmer should have some
thing that he a call a SHOP" which
should contain forge, anvil, a wise,
two or three pairs Of tongs, two or
three wrenches, and set OF bits,
square, a saw or two, re7d az two
planes, chisel, cold CHS , claw ham
mer, case of bolts from one inch to
six inches in length, rivets, washers, a
little good timber for repairing. These
things may be bought at odd times
and they will save many dollars, by
having them handy. The work shop"
should also be the storeroom for hoes,
shovels, chains. picks and utensils OF
that kind.

Profitable Farming.

The man that grows on the farm all
that he consumes on 1t saves a double
transportation-the hauling home Of
what he buys and the hauling to mar
ket of what he sells to pay for it, says
Rural Home. These two items of cost
help very materially to make up the
difference between profitable and IN
nrofts| farming.

Gold and Cost of Living.

Stand-pat economists still stick to
the massive theory that the great pro-
duction of gold is the cause of the In.
creased cost Of living. Their breadth
of knowledge is amazing by it's alb
sence-
The higher cost Of living is due to
the higher profits Of eastern mill
bosses under special privilege Of the
Aldrich-Taft tariff. To blame 1t on
the increasing supply of gold is like
blaming the price of hens eggs on
the war in Nicaragua.
