WILSON TO THE FARMERS

When Governor Wilson spoke to
the farmers of New Jersey he did
not tell them, in we'll rounded
phrases, that they were 1.-THE
creators of all national wealth."
that they were the bulwark of the
nations prosperity" that they
were of the oldest and most honor
ed OF all professions or in
dustries," or that ION the shoulders
of the farmers rests the nations
Destiny" =. Ill.,.
It would have been easy to talk
to them in that vein, and such
platitudes might have been pleasing
to the farmers, although it is not
likely that many Of them would
have relished hearing themselves
praised, and all vital issues avoid
ed. according to all traditions of
political speakers when addressing
farmers. Governor Wilson knows
that farmers nowadays want to
hear logic, rather than we'll sound
ing, empty words.
He told them accordingly, i that
while they had been busy feeding
the country, they had neglected
another and very important part Of
their business, namely, that which
they ought to attend to as members
of the big firm IF Uncle Sam and
Co. AS result of this neglect,
Mr.. Wilson said, the other members
of that firm has assumed q control
ling interest, and had forgotten all
about the farmers, or had come to
think of them merely as persons
whose function it is to feed the
rest of 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 farmer does not produce any
Of the things that derive q material
benefit from the tariff he consumes
all Of the things, which, under the
protective system, are taxed.
docs it matter nothing to the
farmer that President Taft vetoed
the tariff bill" Mr.. Wilson asked.
why, every plouybshare; every
tool and implement the farmer uses,
to say nothing Of the trust made
harvester is dearer because of the
trust 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 confiding farmer that the tariff
is not q tax. The farmer pass
more for the clothes he wears and
gets less for the wool that goes
into them, of the Payne-Aldrich
tax. This tariff tax encourages
the use of cheap substitutes and
discourages wearers of clothing
from demanding all wool
materials" ..........

Astronomical placoverv.

One OF the greatest discoveries OF
science Ia due to observation OF tho
eclpses OF Jupiter's moons. II was
found that when the earth was in the
part OF Its orbit nearest to Jupiter
these eclipses occurred sixteen min.
utes earlier. than when It was in the
lartnermost part; whereas by all
rules OF astronomy they should have
occurred at the same minute each
tlme. 1t was deduced from this that
light. was not instantaneous, and con.
sequently took sixteen minutes to
traverse the diameter OF the earth's
orbit, distance OF about two hundred
million miles, thus giving to light q
velocity Of one hundred and eighty.
six thousand miles a second. which
was accurately shown later by other
experiments.
