BOY SCOUTS.

Scranton Times.
Outside of the militarism-which
appeals the most to the boy--the Boy
Scout idea has many most commenda-
BILE features, which can, however, be
as we'll If not better taught the year
around in the Y. NJ. G. A. or other
gymnasiums, the home and the school
The labor organizations have protes-
ed against the Boy Scouts on account
Of the military feature, and in order
to gain over the great number Of pco-
pie who have been preaching, talking,
arguing and advocating arbitration,
universal peace, and the great ma
tions of the world agreeing to dis
armament and putting the billions of
dollars spent annually in armies and
navies 10 the development of the re-
sources and the uplifting and benc-
hitting of the people, the Boy Scout
advocates have sought TO minimize
the military feature of the organiza-
ton. At the same time all the mill
tary generals and ardent army and
navy men have been loud in praise of
the Boy Scouts because it meant a
military education for the youth so
that when they grew to adult age we
should have a nation of men ready
and prepared for war, a standing
army as We're. ready to knock the
chip off any nations shoulder.
Germany and France have taken
heartily to the Boy Scout movement.
in order TO increase national pa
triotism" and to bring the youth TO
military training and preparedness
for the army before the law obliges
them to serve the regular period of
all males in the army of the empire
or the republic, as the case may be.
Whatever may be said of the other
excellent features of the Boy Scout
organization, the fact stands out that
militarism in uniform, manuel of
arms, drill, discipline and material
spirit stands out prominently.

One good point about the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Companys campaign Of education in farming
now being conducted in this state is that the talk
is accompanied with actual work. While the lee
turers arc telling the farmers of the improved
methods OF agriculture, the company is busily ap-
plying them in the cultivation Of the farm at
Bacon. A report of the trip of the special train
says that after the lecture at Bacon the crowd was

farmer is benefited by the tariff, on each of
his crops, he is enabled to squeeze the con-
sumner - times
But how often is he squeezed? Count the
number of manufactured articles that he is
compelled to purchase, and you have the reply.
Count his farm and garden utensils and i'm
plements; count the furnishings of his dwell
ing, his kitchen, his pantry, his wardrobe;
count his wagons, carts, wheel barrows and
bugges; count the building material used in
the houses, sheds, fences, and bridges The
very medicine administered to him and his
family, when sick, comes higher because of the
tariff. The physician is compelled to stiffen
his charges, because the internal tariff makes
the cost of living so high to him. The preacher
and the teacher want increased pay from the
farmer, because of this same high cost of
living, caused by high tariffs. The hired men
and hired women must have an increase in
wages, for the same reason. Taxes must be
raised, because the State and county officers
want better pay; and because the high tariff
makes it more expensive to have any kind of
public work done.
These recitals will give you an inkling into
the hundreds Of aOays in which the protective
tariff hurts the farmer.
Now let us go back to the one dozen in
stances in which the farmer is 'protected"
from foreign competition by a Custom-house
duty. We will take wheat, first. That is one
OF our leading crops; and thousands of our
farmers sell nothing else.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1911-03-30

the human family is all alike, that the earth
and all it contains was created for the benefit
of this human family, and that any system
of law and government which gathers into the
hands of the few an I'm ust proportion of the
common estate, to the exclusion of the vast
ajority, is an infamous invasion of the
natural rights of man.
Now, what is it that endangers the cause of
the Jeffersonians?
What is it that seems to be so certain to
insure the continuance of the rule of the few
over the many?
1t is the continued existence of the political
alignment of the great masses of the people
IN two political parties, each of which, in the
heart of hearts is welded to the rule of the
few
Neither one of these parties wants any ma
terlal change in our present system of legisla-
ton or of administration.
Both of them are absolutely dominated by
the same interests. In the ranks of each of
these parties are found the powerful railroad
kings, the irresistible trusts, the indispensable
national banks, the vastly influential insurance
companies.
AS matter of fact, nearly every board of
management of every predatory corporation
against which the people are rising in revolt
is made up half and half of Democrats and
Republicans, in order that, no matter which
party wins at the polls, the corporation will
have influence at court
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1911-03-30

Does the tariff on wheat increase it's price in
the American market! No.
Why not? Because we raise more than we
need; and we have to sell portion of the
crop abroad. Wherever that is 50, the price
abroad controls the price here.
American wheat, sold in Europe, has to meet
the competition of South America Canada,
and every other wheat growing country If
the price were higher in Chicago than in the
European ports, all American wheat would
90 to Chicago instead of Liverpool or Amster-
dam. No American exporter would ship
wheat to London, to sell it for less than he
could get in ST. Louis.
This ought to be sufficiently self-evident
What IS true of wheat is likewise true of
oats and barley.
Under our present financial and tariff svs-
TENS, the people of the United States are I'M
able to purchase much Of cotton goods as
they need; consequently, an enormous surplus
has to seek foreign market. AS long as this
is so, no tariff, however high, would affect the
price of cotton Nobody would ship cotton to
Liverpool, if he could get more for it in New
Orleans. 1t is because the competition of all
the cotton producing countries registers the
price in Liverpool that the saying-'Liver-
pool fixes the price of cotton"-came into
vogue. Watch the morning papers, and you
will see that the American spot-market goes
up or down, as Liverpool does

1t is so clear to me that the only possible
hope for the people is to drive these two par
ties together while the people unite under an
other standard.
Between the Democratic corporation and
the Republican corporation it is absurd to
claim that there is any difference.
Between Democratic manufacturers and Re
publican manufacturers no human being of in
telhgence will expect any difference or find
any.
In other words, the millionaire benefciaries
of class legislation control both the old par
ties, and the battle which they wage year
after year. decade after decade, is a mere sham
battle The strategy of the corporations con-
slsts in keeping the people divided in order
that the corporations may rule.
What is the mistake which the Democratic
leaders are making now?
The effort to get radical reform in party
which has always been dominated and always
will be dominated by conservatives When
the currency was contracted just after the
Civil War and ruin brought upon SO many
thousands of people in this country. it took
the joint action of both old parties to do it.
When the revenue taxes were taken off rail
roads, manufacturers, insurance companies.
bank checks and express companies, soon after
the close of the Civil War, it took the Joint
action of both the old parties to do it.
When the Income Tax was lifted from the
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1911-03-30

a lowering of the rates on foreign wheat, hay,
meats, butter, eggs ETC.
1t always encourages me to have such in
quiries made. They show that the people are
interested, and desire further information.
Now, let us apply our common sense to the
question, in matter of fact way.
How does the number and quantity of what
the farmer sells compare with what he bugs?
That's the test.
Subordinate to this is another vital consid-
Grafton:
How do the tariff duties on the produce
which the farmer sells compare, in magnitude,
to the duties on the articles which he buys?
Answer these two queries, and you have
solved your problem
Let us consider the Western farmer, first.
He sells wheat, OATS corn, hogs and other live
stock, hay and possibly dairy products. It
is seldom the case that any farm markets
surplus of all these. Often, the surplus which
is sold consists of wheat only; or of corn,
only; or Of hay, only; or Of poultry, only; or
of milk and butter, only. But if each Western
farm marketed a surplus of every one Of the
enumerated commodities, the number would
not exceed dozen. Consequently, if the
