OF FARMER.
PROTECTION GIVES HIM GOOD
MARKETS FOR HIS PRODUCTS
AT FAIR PRICES.
PRACTICAL BENEFITS SHOWN
Prosperity Under Republican Admins
tration, With Distress Under DEM
ocratie Control, is the Answer to
Professor Wilson's inaccurate
Statements Regarding Tariff.

Professor Wilson, who has been ad-
vocating free trade in all of his speech
es, says that the farmers never have
been protected and do not need pro-
lection. Then he ads:
But everything you use on the
farm, everything that you wear and a
great deal of what you eat, but do not
produce yourself, including meats,
bears q heavy duty. which brings
about the interesting result that you
are paying for the wealth of the Unit
equivalent to nothing, SO far as the
tariff is concerned. Now that has not
just begun to be true 1t has always
been true"
1t is not true. The protective tariff
does benefit the farmers. They know
it, and by their voets have helped to
maintain the policy of protection. Ev-
cry Republican victory has been due
to the vote of the farmers in support
of the protective system. These far
mers have not been mistaken through
all these years. The value of protec-
tion has been demonstrated to them
over and over again.
The fact is that every time tariff
duties have been reduced below the
protective point, the farmers In this
country have been heavy losers be-
cause of diminished demand and lower
prices for their products. On the 9th.
er hand, in every period of restored
protection, the farmers have reaped
the benefits of greater demand and
increased prices. There has been no
exception to the rule of prosperity for
American farmers, when American
labor is fully employed.
There were good crops between
1892 and 1897. The rains fell, the
sun shone. the ground was just as fer
tile as now. In those years. however
corn sold for 16 cents a bushel and
wheat for 35 cents bushed.
Why?
Because the factories were closed
and millions Of men were idle. WIZ
the lowering of the tariff duties, Amer
ican merchants bought their goods
abroad, and the orders which SHOULD
! have gone to American factories KEEP
foreign labor busy. AS payment fol
these various goods had to be made
in gold, the vaults of the banks ant
of the United States treasury becam,
empty. There was great stringency o
money. 1t was impossible to negoti
ate loans, and banks suspended,
The farmer shared in these disas
ters because he had no market for HI!
products.
After the Republicans came int
power and passed laws which turne
the tide of commerce back iron
Europe to the United States, goo
times began again. and the farmer
shared in the general prosperity

HUNTING IN AN AER0PLANE
A Frenchman Shot Partridge and
 Rabbits With Ease

PARIS, Nov. "A. The aviators, Legagneux and Martinet, went shoot ing on board an aeroplane in the neighbOrhood of Compiegne recently Legagneux piloted the biplane in dextrous circles and ovals above the coverts while Martinet did the shoot ing.
 The machine cannot remain in The air and fly at a less speed than a partridge and, as Martinet is an ex, perienced shot, he rarely missed birds whose line of flight was that of the aeroplane. He also killed two hares, the apparatus wheeling down just above them. The difficult part of the sport was finding the game after landing
 The public prosecutor at Rheims has brought proceedings against aviators for the first time in French criminal law for homicide through negligence, the defendants being Count d'Hespel. who, in alighting struck down and killed a machinist Germain Gardes, and Aviator Pro- vost, who ran into slider, Flu gene Potin, imprudently and care. lessly. the prosecutor affirms.

Crown Prince IS Angry Over
 Punishment; Seeks Revenge

BERLIN. Nov. 2. - According to the Berlin society papers. Crown Prince William is reyenging himself for banishment to Danzig by abstain ing from anything except the most meager entertaining and by spending as much time as possible hunting in the country. And this seems tc find corroboration in the scenes caused in the reichstag by the crown prince when he insulted the chancel Tor by a demonstration in disapprav V al of the Morocco settlement
 At a dinner given recently for the officers of the "Deathshead Illus. sars. the crown prince, who is not. ed for his exquisite dinners. had the CommCnest German dishes served. in. cluding kind of mutton hash called "hausmannkOSt" (which the emperor makes a great show of eating during army maneuvers. as it can be cooked in field kitchens). a thick pea soup and Dutch cheese He explained to the officers that the emperor had in structed him to live like an officer whC had nothing but his pay to sup port him.
 Potsdam storekeepers have made an estimate of their probable losses this year, owing to the princes ab- sence, the gross amount being put at S200.000. As the crown prince re- fuses to undertake large entertain ing in his small quarters the Dan zig merchants believe their loss will be close to $500.0O0 Care was taken that these estimates should reach the ear of the emperor, but it is unlikely that he will be disturbed by any regret. as the very reason for transferring the prince was to put temporary stop to his lavish hospitality.
 Prince Oscar. Emperor William $ fifth son. is said by court society to be rapidly superseding the crown prince as his fathers favOrite. the crown princess popularity, especially with ladies having excited the grow ing disapproval of the emperor, who has a distinct admiration for the ascetic type. In this Oscar and his brother Eitel are alike. for neither of them is fond of ladies society.

CUPID AIDED BY TURKEYS

SEATTLE, Wash. Nov. IS. - A charming romance has ended in Brewster, Washington, in the mar riage of Philip Strange and Miss Helen McGraw, the wedding being locally styled union of the Wash ington State Potato King and Fur key Queen of the Northwest"
 Strange last night sent a special train of fcrty cars of potatoes to Eastern markets-the first exclusive potato train to cross the continent This year he increased his potato area 10 2,500 acres and his crop is in the hundreds of thousands of bushels.
 During the past summer a scourge of bugs raided the potato fields and Strange foresaw that unless he fought the bugs his crop would be lost. About this time a drought spoiled the feeding grounds ot Miss McGraws turkey farm. The grass and alfalfa fields dried up and in sects accustomed to turk therein vanished

NOT MOTHER OF OWN
 CHILD, RULES COURT

PARIS, Nov 19. - Judge Monier of the tribunal of the Seine handed down a remarkable decision to the effect that the little Franco Ameri- can princess, Jasmonde Estelle Alex ander de Broglie, legally has no mother.
 This bizarre decision is equivalent to saying that Estelle Alexander, of California. music hall singer, and former Princess Robert de Brog- lie, is not the mother of her own child
 Thus Princess Jasmonde, who is now : years old has father but not mother. In the eyes of the French law, the decision annuls the ex-Prinoass EEtelle Alexander de Broglie's recognition of her own child as requested by her former husband, Prince Robert de Broglie, who recognized his baby on July 2, 1904, eight days after its birth. and before the divorce of Estelle Alex ander from Sydney B. Welt, her first husband This recognition still holds good.
 Little Jasmonde, though legally deprived of mother, remains a princess in the great house of de Broglie.
