PLAIN TRUTH FOR FARMERS
Statement That Good Times viii Con-
tinue, No Matter Who 10 Elected, ls
Shown to Be False, Because LeoIs-
iation Affects Prices Of Farm Prod

In a 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

membered. and good prices. Facto-
ries were running full force. capital

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

But when 1t 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 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-

Doc White Sheds Tears

Doc White comes by his sobrlquet

dentist. Tall and Ianky, just like the
good southpaw should be. Harry was a
