Number of Stations Increasing In
Iowa,

Des Moines, March 12.-Forty per
cent Of the money invested in live
stock in Iowa on January 1st this
year was in horses. Iowa horses on
January 1st were estimated to be
worth $136,912,000 while the value
of all the rest of the live stock in the
state was 100000. The second
annual report of the Stallion Regis
tration Division of the Iowa Depart
ment of Agriculture shows that sew
enty per cent of the stations in Iowa
now are pure bred. 1t is believed
that lowa's horse industry will come
u be more and more important from
year to year.
The Stallion Registration Division
report is now in the hands of the
printer and will be ready for distri-
button about April 18TH It will
show that the department issued dur
ing the year 1913, state certificates
for 536 more stations and jacks than
during the year 1912. The follow
ing tabulation shows the number of
stations and jacks registered by the
department during 1913 as compar-
ed with those registered in 1912.

is idle for even any enthusiast to as
sert that the price Of these products
Is directly affected by the protective
tariff -
Senator Cummins' remarks above
given were made during the course
of a debate on the tariff when the
Payne-Aldrich law was up for con-
| sideration. Congressman Connolly
incorporated into his speech an edi-
torial from the Carroll, Iowa, Times,
which published tables showing the
comparative prices of products of the
farm in February 1914, under the
democratic tariff, and in February
1913, under the republican tariff.
The daily quotations on the Chicago
board of trade were quoted on the
four Saturdays in February this year
and last. The average price of corn
was shown to be 13 cents bushel
higher this year than last, wheat was
cents bushel higher, hogs were
As cents hundred higher this year,
and cattle IS cents hundred high
er. The Carroll paper made no claim
that the tariff affected these prices.
Rather the prices were given as proof
that the presence or last of protec-
tive duties had no effect on the price
of these things the farmer had to
sell. The farmer should know from
this time FORTH" the Carroll paper
said, that the pretense of prOtec-
ton to the farmer is only designed to
secured his support to policy that
raises the price of every manufac
tured article that he buys, while it
cannot enhance the price Of the
things he has to SELL
Secretary of Commerce Redfield,
who has been the spokesman of the
administration on the tariff question,
has started on tour across the
country which he describes as a
prosperity tour Secretary Red
field made an effective speech on the
tariff at Hartford, Conn, before
starting west He said that, 'all
men are witnesses that the flooding
of our markets with the products of
the so-called pauper labor of Europe
have not occurred" and asked:
What has become Of the millions
upon millions in value of goods wait
ing to be unloaded upon us where
by the power to purchase more
cheaply was to bring disaster and
distress upon American industries?"
He declared that the current had run
the other way and particularly in
the case of the finished manufacture
ed materials.
State Chairman N. F. Reed this
week takes up the duties of United
States Marshal for the southern dis
trict. His commission, signed last
weeks by President Wilson, was for
warded to Iowa the latter part of
last week. The fight on Mr.. Reeds
confirmation failed utterly. In fact
the political nature of the fight ap-
peared as plain to the senators as it
did to Attorney General McReynolds
and President Wilson when they APP
pointed him. There was no direct
charges, only innuendoes and insin-
uations Senator Cummins and

\opCCldl correspondence
Washington, March 16.-At time
when republican campaign speakers
in Iowa are digging up the old
speeches they have been making on
the tariff for the last quarter of a
century, in preparation for the cam
paigns this coming fall, and the re-
publican press is engaged IN hercu-
lean efforts to raise such dust with
tariff talk that the real issue in the
coming state and congressional cam
paigns will be obscured, Senator
Cummins' former we'll known views
on the tariff question continue to be
brought forth to sustain the demo-
Gratis present contention that the
tariff reductions are benefit, not an
injury to the farmer In speech
on the agricultural bill in the house,
in which he reviewed the legislation
enacted at this session in the inter-
ests of the farmer, including the Lev
er extension bill, allotting nearly
100000 to Iowa for field demon
stration and experiment work, the
legislation looking for tie eradica-
ton of hog cholera, and the Shackle-
ford good roads bill, Congressman
Maurice Connolly of the third dis
trict touched on the tariff as 1t az
fects the farmer.
There are, of course" Mr.. Con-
molly said, "divers views in regard to
the effect of the tariff upon the prices
of farm products and wish to state
that would not conscientiously par
ticipate in any legislation that would
produce gross injustice upon the
farmer, as some of the republican
members of this house claim has
been placed upon the farmer through
the Underwood tariff bill. Under the
republican tariff, the farmer must APP
preciate that, under the blind OF So
called protection upon some OF the
commodities produced on the farm,
he was obliged to purchase the ma
terials needed upon the farm in
market sheltered by prohlbltlve
tariff wall, and yet in these periods
of so-called protection on his own
products he has seen prices fluctu-
ate from high to low. He has reallz-
ed that in many of his products he
was on an export basis, and that the
price of his products was governed
and controlled by great many con-
ditions. AS to any possible effect of
Iowa farmer, and in connection with
the claims of some of the republican
members of this house, it is always
we'll to revert to the recorded views
Of the present senior senator from
Iowa, Mr.. Cummins, in which he
states:
4 do not believe that we in
Iowa receive any direct benefit for
the 400, 100000 bushels of corn that
we raise every year; do not believe
that we receive any direct benefit
from the duty on 100000 or TO-
OOO, 900 hogs that we market every
year: / do not believe that of the
$7eO,00O,O0O of agricultural pro
ducts that we pour every year into
the channels OF trade, protection ad-
vances the price of 1.-THE of them.
We will this year supply the people
of the United States and the people
Of the world with product that will
