BLAMES SPECIAL INTERESTS

Concord, N H., Feb. i3.--.The pro-
posed Canadian reciprocity agreement
is attacked In a letter sent to-day to
Secretary OF Agriculture James will
son by former Gov ~ j. Bachelor Of
this city. master OF the National
Grange. Patrons of Husbanury. and
chairman OF the legislative commit
tee of that organization. The letter
is IN reply to a communication favor
ing the agreement sen. by Secretary
Wilson to Mr.. Bachelor on February
.. Mr.. Bachelor declares that the
agreement Is unfair to the farmers OF
the United States who TASK for moth
ing but a square deaf. equal protec-
tion for all classes and interests
I'VE can only conclude" says Mr..
Bachelder, that you have been de-
ceived by the special interests, which
have cunningly plotted to allay the
country wide clamor for an honest re-
vision Of the tariff by making the
farmer the scapegoat for the sins Of
the high protection system" The
letter follows:
Dear Sir: We are in receipt of
your letter of February Q, in which
ian reciprocity bill is fair to the farm
ing interests Of the untry. We
deeply regret that you have seen fit
TO take this position and deplore the
character of the arguments advanced
by you in favor Of this so-called reel
procitv' scheme.
PROSPERITY BASED on FARM.
IN .1t,1, 10 etnt ont hat
pc ndnC bill was ono-sidel and unfair to
the farmers in that it maiIes no material
reduction in duties in manufactured ar
tcles used by them, you attempt
cd to defend the continuance
OF hlsh tariff for manufactures
along with free trade for the farmers.
by claiming that it is the protected work
ers who furnish tho farmers with their
chief market. We would respectfully
submit that YOU are simply repeating the
pet argument Of the domestic manuflc-
turer ard that in asserting that the pros
| perity of the farmer depends on the
workers in protected industries, YOU ar
| claiming what Is exactly tho reverse OF
&ctual conditions. 1t Is on the prosperity
of the farmers that the welfare Of al
other classes, manufacturers, merchants
| transportation interests and factor
workers, depends, and we cannot under
stand how at this late day you should
be found repeating tho stale and ex
ploded theory that the farmers exist BY
the grace of protected manufactures OF

We Didn't.

Roy, Mora county, which is
hardly big and rich enough to
support one newspaper, has had
two, and these from time to time
kept one half of the community
at loggerheads with the other
half, for there is no more disturb
ing factor than two rival news
papers in a one-newspaper com.
munity. However, a sensible
solution has been found for the
problem, and the two papers
have consolidated under the name
of the Spanish h-American. 1t is
better for any town to have one
newspaper well supported, than
two or half dozen inditferently
supported. Santa Fe New Mex

Roy boasts of a Painter-Printer!
The last unsuccessful venture of
this would-be Savant, is that he

with the Tribune Citizen, Of
Albuquerque, has forsaken his
polictics in order to be on the
pension list of that Illustrious
Sheet The would painter
printer was on the pension end of
this publication for over six
months and we are surely startled
that he did get out of town, even
if he did have to take up the
principles of the "Unterrifed
Democracy" of the State of New
Mexico, and forsake that which
has given him and family bread
and protection Roy,s followers
of the "Unwashed" have given us

this occasion which proves that
this community is religiosly

The new pews have been placed
in the Church since the last SER

other things needed still but the

KEEP THE BALANCE Up.

1t has been truthfully said that any dis
turbance of the even balance of health
causes serious trouble. Nobody can be
too careful to keep this balance up When
people begin to lose appetite, or to get
tired easily the least imprudence brings
on sickness, weakness. or debility. The
system needs tonic, Graves IT, and
should not be denied 1t; and the best tonic
of which we have any knowledge IS
Hoods Sarsaparilla. What this medicine
has done In keeping healthy people heal
thy. in keeping up the even balance OF
health. gives 1t the same distinction as
a preventive that 1t enjoys as cure.
Its early use has illustrated the wisdom
of the old saying that n stitch in time
saves nine Take Hood for appetite
