The Farmer And The Tariff.

Persistent rumors from Washington
are to the effect that the new party
in power, is resolved to take the tariff
tax off the food staples and remove it
from wool. That this will be at
tenn mpted, there is every reason to be-
lieve. The tariff battle has become a
struggle between the growers on the
one hand and the eaters on the other.
There are one hundred million eaters
on the oneside, and about thirty mil
lion growers Of food on the other.
Every eater wants cheaper living.
Such of them as are NOT also growers
believe, quite sincerely for the most
part, that wheat is too dear, and wool
too high. Their reason for believing
this Is that food Ii dear, and clothing

Modern Chivalry.

MOOeIu NllVa1Iy.
One phase of the dreadful disasters
by wind and flood which visited the
country Immediately following the
Easter season deserves special COM
ment. There has been great loss OF
life, and thousands of hearts are sor-
rowing everywhere for friends and re.
lativeS lost. There has been tremen-
dous destruction Of property. Famil-
les have had their all swept away.
The accumulations, the small savings,
of years are gone. Factories that re-
present lifework have disappeared
in night. Thousands are not only
homeless, but deprived of means of
living as we'll. Sickness aid death
are sure to follow to many.
Yet all this, so distressing, Is not
the phase of the matter referred to.
The special thought is the many acts
Of unconscious heroism that have
been performed, only few OF which
we shall ever know in detail. Lives
have been sacrificed to save lives.
Others have been placed in imminent
peril. Men, women, boys and girls
have clung to their posts of duty in
the face of almost certain death to
help others escape. The list of these
known deeds Of heroism, performed
without thought of either reward or
notoriety, is too long to publish. The
unknown ones would fill volume.
When we contemplate such things
airy of old seems to have departed
from this age and country a better
and finer chivalry has taken its place.
This is chivalry of devotion to duty
a chivalry of helpfrlness for others
without the expectation of reward,
either in money, honor or acclaim, a
chivalry Of deeds done, not in the
pride of caste or profession, but from
a kindly heart and heroic soul. 1t is
the spirit of the Master translated
into spontaneous human conduct
something history does not record as
existing to such a degree IN former
times. 1t is wrong to declaim against
the cold commercialism and the lack
of obsequious courtesy Of the presen,
day and overlook this spirit of self
sacrifice and helpfulness, this uncon
scious and unseeking heroism this
matter-of-course performance Of duty
in times of great peril and for tht
sake of others, doing far more thar
mere duty, in which the woman share
equally with the men. So long a!
this spirit continues with US we neet
not despair of the future of the coun

is not cheap. They blame the grocer
and the tailor, and these complain OF
the price Of raw materials. So the
situation is mixed, with ignorance
and weekly collapsable pocket book,
the arguments OF the majority.
Therefore we are about to sec the
protection now theoretically offered

cal garrett. Will 1t make food cheap

not. But 1t will lower the value Of
American farm products; 1t will mean
less money going to the American
farmer; 1t will mean, not % much
actual losses. due to any present bene-
fits the tariff may hold for the farmer,
but rather future benefits. What
shall the farmer DO? What course
will most surely give him fair deal
among his fellows?
Three courses are open. The first Is
to stand up and fight for Privilege,
every inch Of the way. The second
is to stand still and be licked. The
third is to join with the enemies Of
the protective system and demand,
as his share OF the spoils Of victory,
the removal Of the tariff tax on every
article Of utility entering into the
farmers home
II the first course is chosen the one
