A SOLDIERS GRAVE.
By ALICE E. ALLEN

A LITTLE old forgotten cemetery
Where sunlight softly streams,
Where birds and bees and blooms Of
May make merry
And winds are sweet with dreams;
A few old fashioned monuments half
broken,
Around which grasses wave,
No other sign Of memory or token
BY which to mark a grave,

Carnegie and Peace.

Andrew Carnegie is raising
a hullabaloo because somebody
praised Pittsburg's part in the
manufacture of equipment for
fighting ships. "Pittsburgh's
triumphs are those of peace"
writes Andrew. Strange he was
not so wrapped up in peace in
the years gone by when he was
piling up millions out of the
manufacture of steel for Uncle
warships. Wasn't it
Carnegie's hirelings who shot
down the Homestead strikers
in cold blood when they tried
to organize "a union at the steel
He wasn't so peaceful
then.

Washington Letter.
BY Tavenner.


Governor Wilson has indicated
in the speeches he has made thus
far in the campaign that he at
taches a great deal Of Importance
to the question of the tariff as
it affects farmers. The Dem
ocratic candidate put this whole
question into a nu- shell when
he said:
"The farmer does not derive
any benefits from the tariff
when he goes to market to sell
his products, but on everything
the farmer buys there is an ar
officially high price due to the
tariff tax"
High protectionists in Congress
have for many years deceived
the farmers into believing that
because a tariff is kept on wheat
and corn the farmer is ~necessar-
lily benefited thereby, That this
is false logic is apparent to any
student of American import and
export statistics. This country
produces more wheat and corn
than the American people con
sumo, which obviously makes it
impossible for any country Of
Europe to sell wheat Or corn
Europe, which is the
great market for surplus Amer
lean grain, uses all the grain
produced there for home con-
sumption, and in addition the
European countries have to
send over here for more.
If there were no tariff on
therefore the American
farmer would not be menaced
The Lexington intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1901-1949, 1912-09-06

by the possibility of foreign
competition, for the reason
that foreigners have no grain to
sell.
But the situation is vastly
different with the farmer whep
he comes to buy the tools, ma
chinery, clothing, and other ne
cessities of life. He finds every
article that he uses in producing
his crops taxed higher and high
er, until, as Gov. Wilson says,
lit is getting to be next to i'm
possible for the American farmer
to make a Legitimate profit.
The farmers implements, his
smaller tools, wagons, house
hold articles, clothing, lumber
and harvesting machinery has
steadily risen in price.
That this rise in prices has
heen due to artificial causes is
proven by the fact that the iden-
tical articles used by the Amer
lean farmer are sold abroad
for from % to 40 per cent less.
D.. Townsend, in his report
to President Roosevelt on the
harvester trust, reported that
the same harvesting machines
were made by the trust in
Chicago, and sold to the Amer
lean farmer for 1925, are solo
in Russia for $50 and 500. Moth
but the tariff thus enables
the trust to rob the American
because, if it were not
for the tariff, the danger of com
petition from Canada would
force the American trust to sell
its machines for one price to all.
Governor Wilson has shown a
grasp Of the tariff question
as it affects farmers, and it is
certain that before the campaign
is much older he will have some
Illuminating things to say to the
farmer on this vital subject.

Sugar Plums.

The ownership of a one half
interest in the Western Sugar
Refining company netted the
Hayemeyer interests $12,950,000
in q vars. In one year, 1898,
this concern paid the Havemeyer
six hundrd thousand dollars.
When the company was organ
lied the Havemeyers put in a
million dollars capital, and the
Spreckles people another mill
lion. Two years later this
money was returned to the in
vestors, so that all the profit
they subsequently took out
was "velvet." Thus the tariff
on sugar is shown to be a good
thing-for the Millionaire own
