Whythe Farmer is Prosperous. P

The farmers are told that the
tariff must be reduced ON manufac-
tured products but maintained on
agricultural products. Sugar, weolen
goods and all things bought by the
farmer they want reduced or made
free of duty, but they don't want
the farmer to bear any part of the
reduction, if there is to be any.
They don't stop to consider that
there are 10000 farmers raising
beets for sugar in this country and
$Ioo, 600, 600 invested in the sugar
manufacture is entitled to any por-
ton of protection.
The farmers are told that the cost
of living is excessive, but they are
not told that this increased cost of
living is largely in the items pro-
duced by the farmer and that any
reduction must inevitably affect the
prices the farmer gets for his goods
The undue exacelons of combina-
tons should be and are being curbed
by legislation, but that has nothing
whatever to do with the tariff. You
don't hear a whimper from these
advocates of cutting down the tariff
to restrict the farmers prices or the
wages of the werkingmen, of the
eXtortionate exactIons of the coffee
combine which controls the coffee
trade of the country and pockets Is
to 200 per cent profit on every
pound of coffee consumed. The
same conditions apply to the tea
combine.
The packers and ether combines
which are unduly charging the con,
SINNER can be reached by law, but
taking off the tariff on many com
modities would no more affect the
price to tho consumer than it has
done in hides, coffee, tea, boots and
shoes, etc.
The farmer is entitled to fail
prices. He is enjoying a greater
degree ofprosperity than any farmer
in the wide world, and the creates,
in the history of the country. He
owes it to legislation which ka-
made the country fit to live in.
The "National Farmer" does not
believe the farmer-when he comes
to consider the existing conditions
will seek to bring about changes
that will take that prosperity from
him. Bay City National Farmer,

Conservation Not a New
Policy.

When an Inventor goes to the
Patent Office with what seems to him
to be an entirely new idea he is apt
to find that others had worked on il
in some shape fifty or more years
ago. Conservation as an issue In
the science of governing nations is
centuries old, AS matter for
active legislation it was capably and
effectively taken up during the
administration of Benz amin Harri oa
when Gen. John w. Noble of St.
Louis was secretary of the Interior.
The subject was given substantial
impe at that time, and what has
been done since is an extension OF
what was accomplished then, A
question of origins would go back
to prehistoric times. Instead of
wrangling over such points OF
precedence 1t should be the general
effort to give the best shape to
conservation policies so that no
error or waste shall oecur, and that
every stroke in development shall
90 to the true mark. Among all
the works of the conservation OF
time and money in commerce the
most notable in the world is the
Panama canal. Who was the first
in IA 8 conception? No doubt the
explorer who first crossed the
narrow isthmi strip of land.
Instead of treating conservation
as question TO divide a party the
purpose should be to unite all
parties for its intelligent definition
and advancement. Forestry is an
old science in Europe. Irrigation
was old in some parts of America
before Columbus came, and In ASIA
il is more ancient than the earliest
clay tablets. Not one branch OF
conservation is msdern unless re-
lated to some comparatively recent
invention. Its champions reach far
back in the histories. In a policy
so obvious the title of originator is
not worth seeking and could not in
any case be convinclngly established.
Nor can any attempt to drag con-
servation into partisan policies com
mand respect, and still less can 1t
be legitimate source of factlo" In
any one party. Nearly everybody
would be for it on a rising vote.
All parties will approve 1t. lhose
who refer to the subject by saying
undisputed things in solemn way
are thinking more of themselves
than of the material business IN
hand. Globe. Democrat.

A Contrast in Wages.

The difference between a Free
Trade country and one under pro-
tective Tariff is shown by the
changes in wages at the present
time in the United Kingdom and In
the United States. Reductions
have been made in many cases In
i,Fneland recently, and few days
fago the Federation of Master Cot
ton SINNERS at Manchester decided
10 reduce wages in that industry S
ner cent. Wages were reduced S
per cent year ago and short time
has been enforced since July Ith of
last wear. These reductions affect
vast army of cotton splhners, and
similar reductions have been made
in manv other industries In the
Halted Kingdem. But in the
limited States the course is all the
other way. Voluntary increases
have been made by many railroads
and in many other Industries. No
reductions are thought of In this
country. But in Free-Trade Eng
land, where the wages are consider
~, lace than one half those paid
in the United States, still further
reductions are being made. That
is a difference between the effect OF
q Sc. called revenue Tariff, which
taxes the food supply of the poor
and the Protective Tariff, which
affords Protection TO the wage
earpers without increasing the cost
of their food supply.

as an ism becomes less prominent
in proportion as Socialism as a
working factor predominates The
other change is the Abandonment of
the materlalistc Socialism of Karl
Marx. Bread and butter becomes
means to a higher end. Yet there
are many in Europe and more in
America who still hold to the old
Maxian doctrine. Whatever i'm
pIovemsnt IS suggested they permit
their ism 20 destroy their oppor-
tunity for betterment. They are
hanging to the neck of many labor
organic atoms. Their moral foe is
capitalism, and yet they are a

surrender to an ism has destroyed
their usefulness TO the unions of
which they are members. They
are no longer valuable as a

While it may not be said that labor
always gets its share of accumulat
ed wealth, it is probable that this
class of Socialists get more out OF
life than they put into it of actual
service,
As to the future of Socialism, no
one can safely predict. If it con-
tinues to change into opportunlsm
its menace to the general good will
have passed. Probably its main
force will find vent in liberal and
reform movement as opposed to
ultra conservatism. At least
liberalism and conservatism are
both necessary to social progress,
and 1t is possible that the lineup o.
party power may change in thi!
direction.
But to all persons calling them
selves Socialists, who are sincerel,
in earnest to make the life of tn,
people better, surer way thar

Trapping MIR. Bryan.
The Democrats of Nebraska a

The Democrats of Nebraska are
determined to crush Mr.. William ].
Bryan SO fat that if he goes fishing
again in the limpid waters of the
Gulf of Mexico, near the fruit and
truck garden estate which he pur-
chased near its level, sandy beach
last year, the founders will be apt
to claim him as long-lost brother.
The Democratic leaders of Nebraska
have no love for MIR. Bryan. They
have tried on numerous oc asionS 10

ing, so that they could show this
fact to the Democrats throughout
the country, but he has always
managed to escape the issue. Now
they believe they have him oorpered,
enmeshed SO tightly in the political
seine that he cannot get away, not
withstandiag his remarkable acute
ness in diplomacy, and next week
when their state convention will be
held they hope to force the issue
and make it plain to the members
of the party over the country that
he is not the choice of the Demo
cracy of his state for any office ne
may seek, presidential or senatorial,
however popular he may be in other
states. In this way they hope to
weaken his prestige nationally SO as
to render him harmless, negligible
quantity, ia building up following
in the country at large. They want
the party nationally to understand
that he is repudiated by his home
folks and to serve warning that
Nebraska will not be responsible
for the consequences if he is nomi.
mated for the presidency. The feel
ing against him is bitter because
they claim that he is really a Popullst
masquaradingin in Democratic clothes,
and that he has cunningly used the
Populist strength ia the state to
carry cut his purposes in appearing
70 represent the true Democratic
Sentiment in Nebraska in national
affairs. AS proof of this they point
to the fact that he has never dared
to run for a1y state Office or even to
appear as leader in the state
Democratic councils.
Bat the astute Nebraska orator
may elude the trap his enemies have
set fer him by employing simple
tactics which have served him well
before. His enemies say that he
will be absolutely ignored in organ
izing the convention, that ne will
not be appointed on a single com
mittee, and that beyond allowing
him to address the convention he
will be rebuked by having his ad-
vice completely disregarded. This
program would seem to afford the
"boy orator of the Platte" an easy
way out Of the trap. If he is per
mitted to make speech, he will be
perfe city satisfied, no matter what
happens afterwards. What will he
care what a few little frogs in a
small pool do with his advice.
What he will value most will be the
opportunity to deliver en- address,
for in that respect he will make
himself appear to represent the
Nebraska Democracy whether he
does SO in fact or net. All Mr..
! Bryan desires anywhere or at any
time is the chance to talk.-Kansas
