The Tariff on Steel.

One of the first things that the Dem
ocrats. when they get chance, ought
to put on the free list, is STEEL The
reason is because iron and steel are
so vitality necessary TO all other man
ufactures, and reduction of the tariff
on these basic elements would pave
the way for substantial reduction
upon numberless other items which
spring from them. Thus II the pres
emit high duties on iron ore, pig iron
bar iron, steel rails, wire nails, barbed
wire, tin plate. etc, were removed
1t would permit Of radical reduction
on agricultural implements, and on
carpenters tools, cash registers, cleo
trio, mining. pumping and textile ma.
chinery sewing machines, typewriters
locomotives. etc. Then again, these
reductions In the cost Of commodities
would lead to cheapening Of those
commodities; we should have cheaper
wheat. cheaper clothing and cheaper
transportation as a result of lessen
ing the cost OF farming, textile man
ufacturing and railroading.

The Coming Election

The city campaign is fairly
started. This',is one struggle that
the fellows in the country miss.
The coming election promises to
be an exciting one, and there will,
no doubt, be a number of sore
spots after it is over. In this re-
spect, the farmer has "a decided
advantage over the townsman, for
he misses all thetrouble and dis
cord that the election creates.
An election is like a game of
poker, in that some one has to
win, and the other fellow loses.
Its hard for most of us to lose,
and difficult to keep from showing
it. A good way to avoid this, is
to remember before election, that
we are all going to live here after
it is over.
There are any number of funny
things that happen about election
time. Make it a point to look for
the funny things instead of the
unpleasant things about the COM
ing election. We believe we all
want the same things for Liberal
but there IS considerable difference
of opinion on the best way to get
them.

An exchange tells a story on a
man who was caught in the woods
during a storm. He didn't want
to get wet, and the only dry place
he could find was a hollow log in
to which he managed to crawl.
The rain lasted couple of hours,
when the fellow decided to go
home. He tried to extricate him
self from the log. but the soft
wood had swelled and he couldn't
bulge. There alone in the desc
late woods many miles from the
nearest habitation. of all the mean
things he had done the poor man
lay thinking, when all at once it
dawned upon him that he had
read his home paper for three years
without paying cent for it, and
it made him feel so small he
crawled out of the log through a
knot hole.

CROPS IN INSTALLMENTS
BroOmcorn Seeding Might
BeSDone at Different
Times.

Broomcorn makes its most rapid
growth in warm weather, says the
Mail & Breeze. The young plants
are rather long in starting and
they do not make much progress
for the first two or three weeks.
For this reason the seed should
not be put in the soil until the
ground is warm enough to bring
about rapid termination and fav-
orable growing conditions. AS a
rule this period is not reached in
Oklahoma until the latter part of
April or early in May. We be-
lieve 1t is safe proposition to
plant as soon as the soil is proper
~ warmed. Owing to the fact
that the brush deteriorates rapidly
in market value after it passes the
blooming stage and hired help can
not be secured at will in many
parts of the state, it is thought to
be an excellent practice to plant
the field about twenty acres at a
time which makes a good-sized
field to be harvested in a few days.
In cases where the acreage devoted
to broomcorn is extensive a limit
ed area may be planted early;
about two weeks later another may
be seeded, and if necessary a'thifd
planting can be made 10 days later
than the,second. This scheme OF
planting gives a longer harvesting
season and in many other ways il
more satisfactory than planting
the whole field on a single date.

PIunderlna Americans.

The best authorities in the steel
trade have admitted, both by their
words and their actions, that protec-
ton is no longer necessary. Mr.. Car
negie said two years ago that mot a
ton of steel is produced in the world
at as low an outlay for labor as in
our own country" Mr.. Schwab, presi-
dent Of the steel trust, told Mr. Prick
in 1899 that steel rails could be made
in Pittsburg for $12 a ton and sold at
a profit In England for $16 ton,
where they cost $40 to make. And yet
the steel trust pretends to need CON
tinued protection when the fact Is that
they are parties to an international
agreement giving them rs per cent OF
the worlds market In steel rails
this % per cent. being based upon the
ability Of American manufacturers to
undersell foreign competitors on this
continent. 1t is the fear of the gigan-
tic power. to llnsettle the market WELD,
ed by our steel trust that has driven
so many British competitors into the
protectionist camp, Ina report of the
British iron trade commission on
American Industrial conditions and
competition, instances are given where
American manufacturers have dis
eliminated against their own country
men and in favor of the foreigner, to
the extent of so to 80 per cent.
The only reason for the continuance
of the steel tariff is to enable the
trust to pay Ave per cent. dividends
land earn IA per cent? upon its $780,

WORKING TO INCREASE DUTY
System by Which Protected Interests
Levy Tax on the Ultimate
Consumer.

To one who has to do with the OPP
Grafton OF the tariff there is hardly {
week that some chicanery Of the higl
protectlonists does not come to light
There Is provision In the Payne bill
for bagging for cotton, dyed, colored
painted or printed. Under this proyi
sion there has been imported for years
bagglng used exclusively for patching
holes resulting from sampllng cotton
when in bales. The goods are stem
ciled with the name Of the owner OF
exporter for purposes Of Identification
and yet the domestic interests, not sat.
lsaed with an already high duty on
such goods, endeavored to have them
held dutiable under the provision for
dyed, colored. painted or printed
goods, which carried with 1t much
higher rate.
In like manner there was recent
case under the leather schedule. A
large domestic manufacturer imported
a small lot of saddles, as to which the
board of general appraisers says 1t
was so obviously matter Of duplicity
as to satisfy us that the issue had
not been raised In good faith, but
rather for the purpose of obtaining an
adjudication In favor of the higher
rate Of duty" than that properly ap-
plicable to the goods In question.
The board of general appraisers
have just rendered an opinion In a
Ease similar to the one just mentioned.
Everyone is familiar with the safety
matches in common use. The large
match interests, already highly pro-
tected, imported a small quantity OF
the common safety matches. The
board says: The record In this case
presents a somewhat unique situa-
tion," referring to the actions OF the
parties In interest, and adds: THE re
suit hoped for was unquestionably
the assessment of the higher rate Of
duty on the Swiss black-head safety
match, the commonest and probably
the cheapest match now In use"
Not content with having the rates
Of duty advanced to suit themselves
and in many cases made specific or
partly so to hide the high ad valorem
equivalent, the protected interests i'm
port small lots of goods, protest
against the duty levied by the govern
ment under the law, appealing to the
board of general appraisers In the
hope that they will apply a still higher
rate, thus preventing competition.
These instances could be multiplied
indefinitely Is 1t any wonder that the
ultimate consumer feels oppressed?
