A Farmer on the Tariff.

To the Editor OF The Times: l
have been a reader Of your paper for
several years and admire the position
you take In dealing with many sub
jects. Inclosed hand you a eommuni-
cation that l have just jotted down
from the standpoint OF a farmer.
which please publish IL you con-
slider 1t worthy OF place In your
paper.
Q-what is a tariff by governments:
Alt Is a tax levied against foreign
goods imported into its country from
foreign countries.
o-when does the tax become a pro-
tective tariff tax?
A-Whcn II is SO high that II practi-
cally closes its ports to the commodity
o-what does such condition
A-The holding up OF one citizens
or. in other words. IL obliges one citi-
zen and his business to pay tribute to
another citizen and his business
Q-Why do producers and manufac-
IFS?
A-They claim that through its aid
they are able TO pay their help better
DIDO they apportion this extra rev.
enue respectively to their help?
.A-Probably but small proportion
Q-what is the result?
A-The building up OF vast fortunes.
Off one citizen and his business -
protected. should not all citizens be
protected In business?
A-certainly. General laws for all
special laws for none.
Q-What does free raw material
mean?
| Ar a neaninoless
Q-What is the value OF q tree that
stands In the forest?
Alt Is practically worthless; II
would fall down and decay
Q-When does IL become valuable?
A-When labor is applied to Il by
cutting II into logs and transporting
them to the saw mill and saving them
Q-Then why not protect the manu-
facturers OF lumber as well as the
manufacturers OF cloth. shoes, gloves
etc?
Ale should be.
Q-what does IL take to produce all
farm products and the necessaries OF
A-Labor and the elements.
OILS farming considered a very
profitable business. even at the preseat
prices?
A-No. 1t Is attended with such
ings, fences and machinery.
Q-what other drawbacks has the
farmer to contend within
Alright, insects; In fact. all his
crops have their parasite, and labor is
very high.
o-Are these all the discouragements
he has to meet?
A-No. his crops are often injured
OF destroyed by excessive rains at
harvest time. especially wheat. hay and
beans
Q-why do so many farmers aban-
don their farms and seek towns and
cities?
A-Because OF the discouragements
that enter into their occupation.
There is no justice I'm advocating
the throwing open of our ports to
free foreign food supplies and still
continue the unjust practice OF pro
tecting the man that manufactures
the clothes that we wear and the
articles and machinery that the farm
er uses In the prosecution OF his busl
ness. Such a course would not slim
ulate farming, but surely bring fam
inc. Look at the millions of acres OF
abandoned farms throughout the Unit
ed States Why is IL so? There Is a
reason. Give every mans business
fair shake. A. +. FRISBEE

Indianapolis, Jan. 25. - Senator

of axes and has been Clipped consid
measure for the removal of public Of
ficials as it passes to engrossment and
second reading. Some Of its friends
sliced off protuberances which made
the progress of the bill much easier,
IL not more desirable.
Senator CRUDE fixed it with an
amendment so that the twenty per
whose names are necessary to be Sc
cured upon petition for removal OF
any officer, five per cent must make
affidavits to the effect they think the
charges against the officer are true,
two and half per cent. must be free
holders. and two persons must make
affidavit that the whole list of sigma
lures are genuine.
Another amendment makes any Of
fetal immune from the public wrath
until after he has served six months.
Then petition for his recall may be
drawn. ...
Senator Moore attached a new set
of qualifications which says the charg-
es shall be based on one of four caus-
es: negligence of duy, extravaganza
with public funds, Partially or dis
elimination of gross immortality.
The real carver was in the hands OF
Senator Gavit, who was disarmed by
a vote of % to 10. He moved to
amend the bill SO fifty-one percent of
the voters would be required to pc
tition for the removal. The senator
fears under the present reading some
body will be removed in Lake coun-
ity every day for he declares they are
impetuous folk up that way. This mo-
ton was speedily tabled. Senator

Despite the immunity bath offers

woodward would like TO see them do.
1t is believed the foreman has the

fight to get his subpoenas served, to
say nothing of stubborn witnesses.

Tuesday afternoon. although he did
not express an opinion one way or
another. He is not SO well satisfied
with the general situation. He said
in part Tuesday evening:
1.-The people have had much to say
of the need of an investigation. Ev-
cry liberty loving and law abiding
citizen in the county is with us in
this thing, but apparently there is an
undercurrent of which we know not;
one intended to check the investiga-
ton
I'VE have convened the grand jury !;
have received instructions to investi-
gate the election matter and we will
interrogate such witnesses as come
before the grand jury. We have had
trouble in getting papers served. We
have waited for volunteers to come
and while some have appeared they
have not been in great numbers. I'm.

willing or can be made to tell we can
do nothing"

grand jury room nearly an hour Tues.

Others present were William c.

The delay in getting subpoenas
served Tuesday morning made it ne.
cessary for the grand jury to abandon
the election cases for time and take

man Woodyard's complaint of the &C.
tons of the sheriff and his deputies
to Foreman kimbrough, the subpoe.

Foreman woodward consulted an at

special states attorney to replace
prosecutor Lewman. He says he was
advised this could not be done unless
Lewman does something contrary to
law.

example Of this. People come In from

them will travel all night. and 1t will
be sunup before they reach their
