QUESTION TO DE CONSIDERED
tFrom the baltimore Star, Rep.)

(From the baltimore Star. Rep.)
Nobody pretends to deny that the people
of the Crited States are in the midst OF
a prosperity not paraleled at this time in
any other country. and never previously
surpassed during any period in the his
tory Of this country. Does the national
policy under which the affairs Of the
country are ccrducted-the tariff framed
upon protection basis-have anything to
do with this prosperity? Would a change
In the government which would result in
the making Of a tariff with the protec-
tive principle entirely eliminated cause
a change from condition Of prosperity
to a condition of business depression and
hard times?
If you have not been giving any
thought to the foregoing questions, Just
pause awhile and think them over seri-
ously. If YOU will search the records for
Information that might shed light upon
the queries. you will find this that for
more than 80 yenrs prior to 1893 the gov
errment of the country had been in
trusted to the Republican party. There
was a democratic president elected in
1884, but complete lawmaking control Of
the government did not pass to the DEM
ocratic party until 1898. For more than
50 years prior to 1893 the country had
been upon a protective tariff basis, and
during that period had developed a Won
derful prosperity, which placed the Am
er!can wage Garner upon a living level
far above the condition of the wage earn
er in any other country in the world.
And in 1893 there was n change in the
governmental passed completely under
control of the Democratic party. which
lost no time in making over the tariff.
The four democratic years that followed
were years CT business depression. Just
look upon the record of these democratic
years. And then ask yourself this ques-
ton: Will the elimination of the pro-
tective principle from the tariff cause a
slump in the country's prosperity?

SMALL CROPS OFTEN PAY BEST

SMALL CROPS OFTEN PAY BEST
Taking the grain production of the
country as a whole, 1t is by no means
the rule that the larger crop tn.
greater is the return. Often big
crop means low prices and small
crop means high prices. The theoret-
ical result Is that the return to the
10 rmers taken throughout the coun-
try is constant. But the facts belie
the theory, and sometimes the anoma.
lous situation arises that smaller
crop brings the greater gross return
In 1910 the corn crop reached the
enormous total of $685. 10000 bush
els. The total farm value was almost
$3.50, 100000 less than in 1909, when
the production was only 2,772,376, 900
bushels.
The following table. in which tho
years are starred which gave the
greater return on the smaller crop,
shows the production and value of tho
corn crop for eleven years.
