WHAT THE FARMER BUYS.

The agricultural population Of the
United States is from S5 to 40 per cent
of the whole. There are about six
million farmers in this country. The
farmer is constantly admonished about
the market for his products; very lit
tie is said to him about the market he
affords for the manufacturers.
What Is that market? In the home
OF the mechanic large number Of
manufactures necessary to the me-
chanic and his family might be emu
merated. But in addition to all OF
these, the farmer must buy harvest
ers, plows, cultiyators. hay rakes, har-
rows, wagons, carriages, mowers, tools
and lumber for barns and .I,ads, and
many other articles unnecessary to the
man Of the trades.
The market that the farmers afford
to the manufacturers is estimated at
1900 million dollars per year. The
trifling benefit that the farmers gets,
If any, by protection on the things he
sells could well be sacrificed for the
reduction or the removal of the duty
on the things he has to buy. 1t is es-.
timated that the protective tariff
raises, by artificial process, the cost
Of manufactures in this country SO per
cent above its actual value If that is
true, the farmers pay tribute of ap-
500 millions a year to the
protective SYSTEM Exchange.

The Why Of lawyers Busy Monday.
"A lawyer gets more callers on Mon

lives in the country his front door

there is likely to be Line Of clients

"The reason is that ON Sunday fam
lilies get together and talk over their

COURT REJECTS
DEATH BED ACT
Statement as to Disposition Of
Property Does Not Hold
Water

st. Paul, Mimi, July 20.-The state
ment Of Henry G. McNair. made on
his death bed. setting forth his wish
as to the disposition Of his 100000
estate. was filed yesterday in probate
court. Mr.. McNair left no will but
dictated a statement to his son a few
hours before his death at st. Joseph's
hospital, July 3.
The statement was written on q
single sheet Of letter paper by the son
and the father succeeded in attaching
his signature. but the document,
probably intended by Mr.. McNair as
his will. was not witnessed nor au-
thenticated as required by law, and
therefore cannot be recognized by the
probate court as q will. Henry H.
McNair, the son, is 20 years old. He
asks that he be appointed administra-
tor. After directing that $500 each
be given to the House Of Good Shep-
herd and the Little Sisters of the
Poor, Mr.. McNair beQueathed two
fifths of the remaining estate to his
son and the other three-ffths to his
l6-year-old daughter. Marie Adele. the
only surviving heirs.
In his petition, the son says he IL
advised that the fathers statement
vas not properly executed or authen-
ticated as a will and therefore IL Of
no legal effect, but the son declares
It ID his desire that the wishes OF his
father be carried into effect. Under
the inheritance laws the statement
cannot govern the probate court In
distributing the estate. The property
must be divided equally between son
and daughter. who themselves must
go to 1t that their fathers wishes are
carried out. \ s y.
