1t is a singular fact that, of the vast

NEW TARIFF nil nELI.s FARMER.

NEW TARIFF BILL HELPS FARMER.
The democratic tariff bill now before
congress does full justice TO the farm
ers of the country. and It is the first
time since 1S47,- which is sc years ago,
that impost taxes nave been laid with
anything resembling fair consideration
Of the rights and interests of the class
which produces all the wealth OF the
community. For more than half a CEN
fury the farmers have shared with the
great body of domestic consumers all
the burdens OF a protective system
which enured exclusively to the profit
Of certain preferred classes OF produc-
ers. The agricultural products could
not in the nature of things be protect
ed. for their prices were fixed in the
worlds markets by the laws of de-
mand and supply, but everything the
farmer had TO buy increased I'm cost
through the operation OF tariff-made
monopolies on the home markets.
Now the proposition is TO practically
remove the tax from everything that
the farmer and planter needs for the
planting and gathering of his crops,
his cotton bagging and ties, his imple-
ments OF every kind, his wire fencing,
his plows, shovels, hoes, rakes, now
ers, reapers and planters, which go on
the free list. The protected manufac-
turer is to be given his raw materials
free Of tariff duty in the general effort
TO equalize the benefits. Also the
blankets, clothing, shoes and other
necessaries Of life will be cheapened
10 the farmer by material decreases
In the impost duties. So may the tillel
of the soil rejoice, The day OF my de
liverance from unjust burdens is al
hand"
He will no longer be compelled b!
Ubiquitous laws TO buy in the deares
and sell In the cheapest market.

Seattle acknowledgement

(Seattle PCSt-lntelliSencer.)
Turning directly away from that
form of the progressive movement"
which results in the creation of en- ex-
traordinary number of new offices and
a steady expansion of the field of gov
eminent activities, there is a reform"
government under way in Colorado
which aims at a simplification Of the
machinery of government which seems
decidedly practical Through the mi
tiative it is proposed to submit to the
people Of that state a constitutional
amendment which, in practical effect,
makes the governor about the only
executive officer whom the people are
TO be called upon to select.
The scheme seeks to model the state
government more closely upon that OF
the federal government. The governor
is to appoint the attorney general, sec.
rotary OF state, state treasurer, super.
/ intendent of public instruction and
business manager, who are to consti
tute his cabinet. The governor and his
cabinet in addition 20 other duties, are
/ to be required TO attend the legisla,
tuTe at least once a week during the
/ sessions, to answer all questions con
corning administration in any of the
departments.
/ The proposed amendment also pro
/ vides for budget to be prepared by
