no reason why, he alone, with his mess
of eggs and poultry and bis few sheep
and what grain lie can raise. should be
exposed to free, trade in the interest Of
the reduced cost OF living while the big
manufacturing trusts keep their pro

and you can't blame him for this"
The fact Of the matter is that thc
farmer has not said word on the sub
iect. He does not live in Washington
or New York where the press reporters
can interview him. These things have
been said by the agents Of the Tariff
league, whose enormous funds keep a
large corps OF them always on the
ground. Any newspaper man who has
spent year in Washington knows how
these atfablc gentlemen are always on
duty. Those who, have associated with
farmers know what they haze been say
ing for the past fifteen years, and al.
though they have had no opportunity to
+, say anything on the present treaty. il
is not likely that they would suddenly
change to exactly opposite views. They
have always asserted that they had to
sell theirproducts in the free trade mar
ket Of the world and buy all their sup
plies ina high protection market They
have said that the price Of their wheat,
and n-and corn is the basis OF the
meat products-was madeby the Liver
pool market and that protection had no
effect upon it. and il is not at all
likely that they have said anything diff.
ferent since this treaty was promulgat-
ed Farmers know that the product on
Of Canada is so small that it cannot
have any appreciablc affect on world
prices. This former treaty with Canada
which was in force from 1854 to 1866,
was very satisfactory to everyone until
some eastern tariff grafters began 70

system and had il repealed. Under that
treaty the greatest importation Of but

The land seekers are now beginning
to visit Colorado again in hopes of Sc.
curing home and but few are disap-
pointed. We have the soil, the climate
and very pretty country which they
find hard to pass up. Then in ordinary
years the farmers make more money
in this country. considering the amount
invested. We had one man tell US that
he sold his farm in Kansas. which was
about eighteen miles from a railroad for
S37.0D per acre and came out here and
took up a homestead; the smallest crop
of wheat he rcised in the three years
which he has spent in Colorado was
fourteen bushels to the acre. This mar
says he would not begin to trade his
homestead here for the Kansas farm.
