Big Growth Of Rye.

Wednesday morning when we arrived
at our office we found hanging on the
door knob two stalks of rye. A note
attached stated that the rye was raised
at New Midway, this county, by Mr.. M.
d. Butts, it being sowed August %, and
fortified with Hubbord's 10-4 fertilizer.
One of the stalks bears a well developed
head, the top of which stands 3S inches
from the base or roots. This is certainly
raising rye quickly.

ALEX MlLLER,s PLATFORM.

Almost every candidate nowadays
declares he is for the square deal and
the uplift of humanity. Alex Miller
of the Washington Democrat has en-
dured this thing in silence until now,
but he can control himself no longer.
In the latest issue of his readable pa
per he frankly admits that he is get
ting internally tired of that racket I"
Just what degree of tired-ness in
fernally represents may be Inferred
from his further declaration that when
he runs for the United States senate
he is going to run on a platform which
will say that he is going to give
everybody both barrels, ard that he
is going to raise hades generally
Outlining still further the course he
has in mind, he says:
We will say that we are going to
sWindle everybody out of everything
he has or ever expects to have and We
are going to set fire to every old
ladies home In America and rob all
the orphanages in the country and
tear down churches and rob henroosts
and generally make all the sadness
and sorrow we can in the world
The matter of making promises has
been so much overdone that Mr. Mil
Ter believes the people would welcome
ANYTHING for change He is per
suaded that he would be very popular
on platform saying that he believed
in ignorance and superstition and op-
preston and distress of every char
scter. "Of course, everybody believes
in honor and integrity and fairness
and decency,7 he adds 1T is getting
SO commonplace that we feel sure the
people will vote for us on platform
Of everybody for himself and the
devil take the hindmost" Such is
the logical result of overriding good
thing.

Republicans In the pending reel
proclty bill We are inviting Canada to
come over and share 1t. This measure
proposes to compel the American
farmer to tax himself in order to build

share his profits, which only recently
have been even fair.
Reciprocity with Canada is propo-
sition to protect every other industry
and leave the farmer to take care of
himself. If Canada grew cotton and
there was protective duty on that
staple, would my Democratic friends
take 1t off in order to give the New

RECIPROCITY BLOW TO FARMER
Grain Men See Middle West Producer
Hit by Democratic
Legislation.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat: Grain
men of st. Louis see another blow
coming the farmers way which, with
the treatened Democratic legislation
in placing meat on the free list, will
tend to place the producer still furth-
er at disadvantage. Grain of all
kinds has dropped 20 to % per cent
In the last year, much of the fall hav
ing occurred in the last five months,
since the election of Democratic
House of Representatives. A further
drop of cents bushel in the price
of wheat is expected, in view of the
pending legislation in congress, which,
if passed, will remove the restrictions
on the tmportations of cheap grain
from Canada. The following table
shows the range OF prices in the ST.
Louis grain market in the last year:

Duluth. Winnipeg
Moffitt Raps Reciprocity.

Il believe the fall in the price of
wheat in the last few months is large.
ly due to the reciprocity bill now
pending in congress- said \. l.. Moi
fit, vice president of the Hubbard &
Moffitt Commission Company, one of
the leading members of the Merchants
Exchange. yesterday afternoon, in
Canada wheat can be raised more
cheaply than in the United States for
farming is done on large scale. The
land is new and very fertile, insuring
large crops under favorable conditions.
There always has been large differ
ence between Winnipeg prices and
those ruling at Duluth, except in the
few instances where Canadian
drought would destroy the crop.
IF the tariff of 25 cents a bushel is
taken off of wheat this foreign grain
Is going to flow into our markets just
az certainly as water seeks It's level.
Under normal conditions this grain
will be shipped direct to Minneapolis
without ever going to Winnipeg, the
Canadian grain fields being about
eouidistant from the Touring center
and the Canadian export point. This
would preclude the possibility of a
freight differential acr'ng as slight
barrier to this grain. The coming of
this grain will force Nebraska and
Kansas wheat into this market, these
states having no outlet north as at
present for their surplus and it is
easy to see that this excess grain over
flowing the markets Of st. Louis and
Kansas City will cut the price the
Missouri and Illinois farmer could 9th
erwise procure.

Farmer is Sufferer.

Just az In the case OF admitting
meat free it will be the farmer who
will suffer, and to mind he will suffer
through useless attempt by few
poor political economists to protect
the consumer. Five bushels of wheat,
or one barrel OF -four. is the average
consumption per capita In the United
states. Where reciprocity lowers the
price OF wheat 10 cents a bushel, and
the millers lower their product ex-
actly in this proportion, which they
will be forced to do, the consumer
would save so cents on his bread sup.
pIy for a year How is this going to
balance the loss of the farmer. whose
profit is destroyed or cut in two by
the reduction?
"Not only will the farmer suffer in
the market price of his grain, but
lower prices means less valuable

The census bureau has issued bulle
tins giving the statistics of manufac-
lures in nearly all Iowa cities. The
showing is good one. In nearly all
the cities concerning which data have
been published the increase in the
value of manufactured products has
been large, ranging from 40 to $50
per cent. In commenting upon the ex-
hibit the Cedar Rapids Gazette we'll
says
The showing indicates something of
the possibilities of Iowa as a manu-
featuring state. Iowa is paying a
heavy tribute annually to the eastern
states. The major portion of the
money thus expended would be spent
at home, If the goods were manufac-
tured here.
