PLAIN TRUTH FOR FARMERS
tinue, No Matter Who Is Elected, is
Shown to Be False, Because Lesis-
Iation Affects Prices of Farm Prod
uets.

In recent issue of Successful Farm
ing. under the heading "A Popularity
Contest" there appeared among 9TH
er things this paragraph:
This Is the year of our Lord 1912,
when the farmers push back the ex-
cited and noisy politicians and say
GO chase yourself You can't make
prosperity any more than you can
make rain or sunshine. The goods
you are talking about are adulterated
with ninety-nine per cent selfishness
and political rot We've got the gen.
uine over in our tent Goodbye
The paragraph was written in good
faith, doubtless by one who honestly
believes the prosperity of this country
will not be In any way affected. no
matter how the election goes in No
vember.
That was precisely the position
taken by the Democratic orators and
newspapers in 1892. That was year
of most bountiful crops. it will be re-
membered, and good prices. Facto-
ries were running full force. capital
was eagerly seeking Investment, labor
was fully employed. In a word. 1t was
the most prosperous year the country
had known up to that time. The Re-
publicans tried to make the people be-
lieve that they ought not to endanger
that prosperity by changing political
management. But they were jeered
then as the above paragraph In Sue
cessful Farming jeers them now
Prosperity is gift of God and not
of politicians. the Republicans were
told. and they were accused of a sort
of blasphemy for attempting to argue
that Democratic victory might bring
disaster. AS a matter of fact nobody
expected a Democratic victory. SO
business went booming right along un-
til election day.
But when It became known that
Cleveland had been elected and would
have Democratic congress with him
pledged to reduce the tariff. there
came about an immediate change over
the whole face of the business world.
Manufacturers did not dare fill their
warehouses full of goods which might
have to compete with similar articles
of foreign make. Jobbers and whole
salers restricted their orders to i'm
mediate needs. while all over the
country retailers bought from day to
day because they did not want their
shelves filled with high-priced goods
when the low-priced flood came in.
And SO 1t happened that although the
new tariff bill was not passed for
more than a year after Cleveland's
election. the panic began at once. Not
what the Democratic party actually
did but what 1t was threatening to do
brought about the condition of uncer-
tainty in the Industrial world which
simply paralyzed the business of the

Open Air Schools Grow in Favor.

With the opening of the fall school
term, over 200 open air schools and
fresh air classes for tuberculous. and
anaemic children, and also for all chill
dren in certain rooms and grades, will
be in operation in various parts Of the
United States, according to the Nation
al Association for the Study and Pre-
vention of tuberculosis. All Of these
schools have been established since
January. 1907, when the first institu-
ton of this character was opened in
Providence, r. l. On January list,
1910, there were only 13 open air
schools In this country and a year
later the number had sacreased only
to 20. Thus, the real growth in this
movement has been within the last
two years. Massachusetts, now leads
the states with SO fresh air schools
and classes for tuberculous, annemic
and other school children. Boston

next with 20. and Ohio is third with

Brussels, June 5.-The post-election
riots in Belgium have taken on a
revolutionary character. Following
troubles at Liege and other places the
Socialist central committee declared
that it would proclaim general strike.
At Antwerp one battalion of scouts
and section of artillery of the civil
guard Joined the manifestants. They
rebelled against the police authorities
and vented their feeling in de,molish-
ing windows. The clerical press de-
mands the dismissal Of these troops.
In addition to the trouble at Liege
and Ferviers, where gendarmes fired
upon crowd, killing or wounding over
fifty persons, among whom were two
children, there was less serious rioting
at Bruges, Tounai, Client. Louvain,
Antwerp and in this city.
Several Jesuit colleges and, Catholic
institutions were attacked by mobs
and the windows of the buildings
smashed. The gendarmes charged the
rioters with broadswort1s.
The favorite cries of the manifest
ants are those demanding the admin.
istrative separation of the Flemish and
the Walloon provinces. Some of the
newspapers report growing senti-
ment among the working classes in
the Walloon districts of the southeast
in favor of the annexation of their
provinces to France.
The agitation is spreading through
out the country and $4,000 reservists
will be called out.
At Liege enormous damage was
done by the rioters. The streets in the
center Of the city were piled high with
