FARMERS
PAY HIGH
TARIFF
CBy Clyde II. Tavenner.)

lby clyde FL Tayenner1
Washington, Aug 6.-When GOV.
Wilson spoke TO the farmers II New
Jersey he ala not ten them. III well
rounded phrases, that they were the
creators OF all national wealth. that
they were the 'bulwark OF the nation $
prosperity THAI they were of atbe
Oldest and most honored of ali profes.

shoulders Of the farmers rests The na-
lions destiny"
It would have been easy to talk to
them in that vein, and such platitudes
migat have been pleasing to the farm.
ers, although it Is not likely that many
of them would have relishod hearlue
themselves praised, and all vital IS
SUES avoided, according to all tradi.
tons Of political speakers when adj
dressing farmers. Gov. Wilson knows
that farmers nowadays want to hear
logic rather than wen sounding, empty
words.
iie told them, accordingly, that while
they had been busy feeding the coun.
try, they had neglected another and
very important part OF their business
namely, that which they ought to at
tend to as members Of the big firm Of
Uncle Sam & 90. AS d result or tnIs
neglect, Mr.. Wilson said, the other
members Of that firm had assumed a
controlling interest, aud had forgotten
about the farmers. OF had come to
think Of them merely as persons
whose function 1t is to feed the rest
q the country, and, incidentally, help
feed the trusts.
The New Jersey governor then Went
on to tell the farmers just how the
high tariff rates affected them. He
told them that while the farmers does
not produce any Of the things that de-
rive q material benefit from the tariff
ne consumes all Of the things, which,
under the protective system, are taxed
Does it matter nothing to the farm.
er that President Taft vetoed the tariff
bill2" Mr. Wilson asked. "Why, every
ploughshare, every tool and implement
the farmer uses, to say nothing Of the
trust made harvester, is dearer be-
cause OF the Payne-Aldrich tariff tax
The American farmer pays more for
his trust made tool than the Russian
peasant pays for the same tool made
IN the same factory out in Chicago
And yet they tell the conflding farmer
that the tariff is not a tax, The farm
er pays more for the clothes he wears
and gets less for the wool that goes
into them, because OF the Payne-Ald
rich tax. This tariff tax encourages
the use Of cheap substitutes and dis.
courages wearers Of clothing from de-
manding all wool materials
Gov Wilson suggested to the farm
ers that they break into their own
house, and get more Of the rent that
is due them. He will not get this rent
L he continues to allow himself to be
bluffed by the special interests that
have taken possession, the governor
said He also told them he believed
IN the Development OF postal ex.
press, and the establishment OF an
agricultural banking system, similar to
the one nov IN successful operation in
Germany.

No Reduction iii
Price Of Sugar
~ cIEdg n fafehnarl


Washington, Aug 26 The price q
sugar is not 70 be reduced cents a
pound, at least not as long as the pres
ent Republican senate and president
remain in business in Washington.
The Democratic house OF represon
tatives, It win be recalled, passed a.
bill placing sugar on the free ast IL
was estimated this would reduce the
price approximately 2 cents d pound
Another bin was passed placing
slight tax on incomes in excess OF
$4,000. This would have meant, in a
few words, transfer Of a small por-
ton Of the burden Of taxation from
the breakfast table to wealth The
corporation controlled senate has OBJ
iected TO this program, and both bills
will die with the session.
The Democratic program Of sui.sti.
tuting tax on wealth for the tax on
sugar was class legislation, inc stand
patters and protectionists cried out in
chorus They were never heard to
complain, however, Of the existing
class legislation which permits the
burden OF federal taxation to fall en-
tirely upon the shoulders Of the
Masses taxing the average man, wo.
man and childaon every stitch Of cloth
ing they wear and everything else they
must have in order to live, while per-
mitting fortunes to 30 untaxed
The masses Of the people produce
the wealth, and by legislative advant
age a few get possession Of 1t, and
now those few object, and have pre-
vented the transfer to wealth Of even
the small amount Of taxation derived
from the tariff on sugar, which is but
one Of lnore than 500 things on which
the consumers pay a tax. They would
prefer that the government continue
to tax sugar instead Of wealth be-
cause they eat no more sugar than
the section hand on the railroad or the
worker in the mill and therefore under
the present system Of protection are
compelled to pay no greater tax to the
federal government than does the pros
ent man.
If fiscal system which requires
millionaire to pay no more tax to the
national government than the section
hand or mill worker is fair and just,
there is no need Of reform; but If such
a system is unjust, the income tax and
free sugar Bills were moves in the
right direction
The average citizen Of this country
eats so pounds of sugar a year A
saving Of cents a pound would have
meant $l.6O per person a year, or a
saying Of SIS to a family Of five,
Because OF the obstructionists in the
senate, however, this saving is not to
be- The people must go on paying an
artificial price for sugar so that the
poor old sugar trust shall not want for
dividends on its watered stock, while
the milllonaires need not bother about
paying a single penny Of taxation on
their wealth for the support Of the gov
ernment. Perhaps some day it will
be different. But it will not be until
a Democratic senate and president is
elected to cooperate with a house OF
representatives that is really trying 70
represent the will Of the people Of this
country

came to be known as dominant factors of his life. Once enlisted in g. cause he espoused it with undiminished zeal to the end. For many years he bent all his energy to the completion of the Nica- raguan canal, and resisted the change to that of the Panama canal, and was fear less in his denunciation of the measures adopted to bring about this change. but was forced to yield to the numerical strength of partisanship. Another re- mar<able power which he possessed was that of physical endurance. During ths contest in the Senate over the Force bill he held the floor all night speaking so as to consume the time, and thereby pre- vent the passage of that measure.
 Not Alabama alone, but the entire south owes to General Morgan a debt of grati- tude for the feariessness of his defense of the south when an able defender was most needed.
 With a versatility which seemed with out limit, Senator Morgan was always prepared for any great junctures which arose. He was equally at home upon a great constitutional question. an issue of broad policy, or a tangled principle of international law. His career marks an era of greatness in the history Of the state.

These innocent creatures wil. appear with us and plead for us. What we were in the best time of our gener- ous youth will arise and go with us, too. The purest part of our lives will not de- sert us at the pass to which all of us here present are gliding. What we were then will be as much in existence be- for him, as what we are now" Some may think otherwise than Dickens did. They may call this a false view of the things that will appear in the last day. Let men say what they will, the great soul that expressed this idea gave it to the world out of his charitable nature and from the sympathy of his mind.
 I shall conclude this paper, the last of the series, with the mention of one more duty and privilege It is prayer. To MT. Dickens God was a loving Fath- CT whose heart of tenderest sympathy heard and answered prayer. With what
 astounding frequency does the author introduce this sacred subject. In many instances there seems to be no need of mentioning it, and the conviction settles

Possessed of wide compass of valuable information which sought expression in facility and fuency of diction, Morgan came to be a source of authority in the Senate. When he spoke, all men re- speeted.
 The name of Morgan descends from revolutionary times, during which period it was represented by the famous General Morgan, who was among the distinguished officers of the first American army. Along the years of the history of America the name appears in different connections and always with credit Gen. John H. Morgan, the daring Confederate cavalry leader, was a kinsman of Senator John T.
