RussiA's grand old man is dead at
the advanced age of SO. Eccentric
he doubtless was; insane many
have called him, but a wonderful
genius all must admit he possessed.
Nor is it to be doubted that Tolstoi
was sincere in the views of life he
proclaimed in his writings and ex-
emplifed in his manner of living.
The great philosopher was absolutely
fearless in his criticisms of Russian
governmental methods and of the
Gar himself which, from any other
subject. would have inevitably result,

world in general and Russia in par
ticular owe much to Tolstoi. His
memory and his influence will not
soon be forgotten.

DEATHS ON AMERICAN LINES.

The appalling list of Deaths and
accidents on American railroads dur
ing the past year indicates that
something is wrong somewhere. OF
course under any circumstances
railroading is a very dangerous DC
cupation and therefore the annual
toll of heath will always be large.
But what is significant is the fact
that in spite of the INTRODUCED on of
safety appliances the list of both
dead and wounded shows a very
large increase over the previous year.
One thing this indicates is the safety
appliances are of little value if en-
ployees are reckless or careless
about their work. Such c%ontrivance
were never designed to supersede
care and diligence on the part of the
men. Another fruitful sourse OF
danger is the single line of rail on
most Of the roads. When all traffic,
passengers ana freight, going in OPP
posite directions has to pass over n
single track the danger of end oh
and other collisions is enormously in.
creased.
These and other facts point to the
improvements and stringent meas
ures that must be adopted if the ac-
cidents are to be kept down to any
where near the number on European
railroads. 1t may be added that
the indiscriminate walking npon the
track by the public, so prevalent in
this country, is resposible for a large
number of casualties. While it is
prohibited by all roads the prohibit
ion is not generally enforced. In
European countries it is otherwise
and that partly accounts for the
much less number of accidents on
their lines.
In the current issue of this paper
is recorded the sad news of the death
of one of our most estimable women,
by a train running, it is said at the
rate of thirty-five miles an hour,
through the city limits, we do not
know as to whether there is a city
ordinance governing the speed of
trains inside the city limits, or not,
but we do know that if there be no
law of the kind, one should be franz
ed and passed, at once, else we have
more of just the same kind of ac-
cidentS.

critics may declare the falling prices
are coming too soon after election to
be attributable to Democratic victory,
but no consistent Republican organ
will put forth this claim, forss'hasn't
it been established beyond dispute

ocratic tariff of 1894 brought on the
panic of 1898, some Isl months
before the act was passed:

reductions in the cost of Giving.
DR.. Wiley's declaration that the
trust are blufing when announcing
that the prices on articles of nee
essary consumption are to drop, is
well founded.
Not until that tariff robbery has
been knocked out by the Democratic
congress-which will not sit for a
year unless earlier called by the
president-will the peoples burdens
be fully lifted. Until that time the
meat barons will have the oppor-
tunity to continue to wiring extort-
ionate profits from the consumers,
and they may be expected to take
advantage of it.

and the farmers know it.

mistaken and the farmers know it.
else why their intense demand for
real tariff revision. The only Iowa
farmers that the tariff helps are
those who raise sheep, for they bene-
fit by the tariff of I2 cents per
pound on wool. But there were in
1909 only 1890 sheep in Iowa
(see yearbook of the Department
of Agriculture, p. 1907 and the
number is decreasing; for according
to the same authority there 800, 900
sheep of shearing age in 1908 (see
page -.3s }, which shows a reduction
of $4,000 in one year.

pears to be declining; for in 1908
the average price in the United
States is quoted at 1888 per head,
while in 1909 the price had declined
to sS.4s (see p. 7es.). This does
not indicate hat the farmers are
getting their share of the prosperity
which the Republicans assure us is
due to the protective tariff. Even
their sheep and wool on which they
are protected do not seem to be add
ing to their prosperity; and on moth
ing else than wool is the Iowa farmer
really protected by the tariff.
The price of wool has declined
since the passage of the new tariff
law, although the very high pro-
lection on wool and woolens was not
changed. At st. Louis the highest
price reached in January 1908 for
best tub-washed was SO cents a
pound; while during December of
the same year the price fell to eS
cents per pound. There are no later
government statistics published, but
the Daily Herald of Quincy, Illinois,
November 4, 1910 in its market re-
port of the price of hides and wool
says: 'Wool-Although prices are
not advancing just yet the market
is tonine up. There is a better
demand and the general feeling is
better.
Bright wool-el to ss cents per
ID.
Clothing wool-1s to 90 cents
per lb.
Western and inferior grades
16 to 10 cents per h."
While the Iowa farmer has been
having crops and getting good prices
for them during the past few years,
the cost of living has advanced over
90 per cent with him as with every
dweller in the cities, and those
who have rented farms have had
their rent raised as the price of land
increased. These Iowa farmers who
have emigrated probably mostly
tenants have evidently not been
very prosperous, or they would not
leave their homes and their neighbors
and their friends to 90 to new count
rieS and begin all over again with
all the hardships of frontier life.
No wonder that in Iowa and in all
the Western states where similar
conditions prevail there has been a
general demand for tariff revision
downward; for it is evident that
protection does not protect the
farmer, but plumbers him.
