Protective Tariff.

Editor Rural World: | notice in
the Rural World much is being
said in regard to a protective tariff
on wheat and wool. | was born on
a fam seventy years ago and have
never lived outside OF the farm in
my life. My favorite occupation
is raising of sheep, but also raise
some of all crops that are adapted
to this section. Now, | wish to ask
why the man who raises wheat, or
the man who raises sheep, is en-
titled to protection in the way of a
tariff any more than a man who
produces any other crop or stock?
1t is only a system Of robbing Peter
to pay Paul The wage-wOrker
joins union of wage-workers of
his particular business or occupa-
ton, regardless of how much he in
creases the burden of another wage.
worker in the way of high cost of
living. But the wage worker is not
to be blamed for the part he takes
in this skin game. For the manu-
facturers of all wares i'll the way of
favoritism though a protective tar
if, flay the common classes almost
beyond endurance. Now let this
favOritism through protective
tariff be done away with, and let
the golden rule be applied instead
and give all producers a square
deal. OF course, tariff for reve
me is necessity. but let favorit-
ism be done away. In fact it is not
the real producer of any crop or
stock who is asking for a protective
tariff, but it is the man of big bust
ness and the middleman who is
making the cry, because he does
not wish to be deprived of the op-
portunity of flayinG the actual pro-
Queer. If there is any one who is
entitled to favoritism it is the farm
er, for he is the backbone of the
world. E. N. Woodcock.

Now, Rooney never told me a word,

dition. One night a meeting was cali

ganization methods. There were fif-
teen men there. Meetings of various
kinds have been called and advertised
in the papers, and yet only a very few
will respond.
Ocala has a live wire in Little An
ME Rooney" and if the citizens viii
get busy and raise a fund of $4,000
to advertise in the north for settlers,
they can double the population both
in city and county in a short time
Mr. Rooney knows how to get them;
his four years experience with the
Seaboard put him in touch with these
possibilities.
Probabilities-But if they keep on
sleeping as they have for years, they
will wake up some morning and find
notice on the board of trade door:
Gone but not forgotten"
Because there are other cities in
Florida that have their eyes on J. d.
Rooney, and they know that he is val
liable eve never miss the water till

If the Ocala board of trade loses
Rooney. as they are bound to do if
they don't look out. it will be a worse
blow than the freeze.

someone proposed Ocala for the cap

press, and today many from other
states are looking toward Ocala with
a view Of making investments.
If Ocala citizens ever expect to get
out Of the "old beaten path down by

around Rooney with moral and fnan-
cial support. He will do the rest
