through the city in an automobile,
delivered six speeches, mel every va

Governor Wilson OF New Jersey,

on THURSDAY told the farmers that
The farmer does not produce any OF
the things that get any material bene-
fit from the tariff. He u all
the things taxed under the tariff.
America Is interested In breaking
down that dam against which all the
tides of our prosperity have banked,
which we coll the protective tariff. I
should prefer to call it the restrictive
tariff.
Does not the farmer produce cereals,
fruits, live stock, vegetables, tobacco.
sugar, rice and cotton? Are not all
of these protected against the compe-
tition OF the products raised by cheap
labor in foreign countries? Does not
the farmer receive material benefit In
these items from the tariff? OF course
he does, as the prosperity of the Amer

SHOULD RAISE o

A bunch of cattle sold on the hoof
for el0.8O per hundred pounds on the
Chicago market last week. The aver.
age price is above eight cents per
pound, and commission men state that
there is no possibility of the market
sagging to any great extent for at
least two years, because OF the fact
that the two big central markets. Chi

lion head OF cattle short right now,
with the stock not in eight to reduce

There is no eason why the county

of q better grade, better taken care of
and command q bigger price when

Right now the farmers are not Civ.
ing sufficient attention to the growing
of their stock In connection with their
other farming operations. One can
ride for hours through the most popu-
lous communities in the Basin with
out seeing any cattle, horses, sheep
or hogs, except q straggler here and
there. The picture is q beautiful one

The raising OF grain is all right 90
far as 1t goes, but up to the present
time, no country on earth has made 1t
pay very large dividends without co.

MIsINFoRMED MINISTER'S.

According to a report from Minneapolis,
the Methodist General Conference adopted
10. day a resolution .ondemning the Score.
tary OF Agriculture for presiding at
brewers convention" II this report proves
true it will simply demonstrate that some
one has been IMPOSING on the persons re-
eponsible for the resolution, for Secretary
Wilson never did preside at brewers
convention. There Is some reason TO fear
that the political opponents Of the admin
lstration have sought deliberately 10 de-
ceive the Methodlsts and that with no
thought OF anything of the kind On the part
OF the ministers, some one has been play
Ing a pretty low type of politics The re-
port that the Secretary Of Agriculture was
10 preside at such a conS ention gained cir
cuIation last autumn, and even then was
attributed to political sources hostile TO
the administration, for II was not true. IL
grew out OF the fact that the Secretary did,
at the request OF the Secretary Of state,
accept an invitation to address the inter
national convention Of brewers and barley
and hop growers. AS the Department or
Agriculture had been performing much val
liable work along the line Of increasing the
yields OF both hops and barley, promoting
their cultivation, etc, 1t was not thought
proper or courteous 10 refuse the invita-
ton OF an International convention, but
Mr. Wilson limited his address TO a hVe
minute talk and devoted himself solely TO
the scientific methods of growing the two
crops.
