Tariff and the Farmer.

IhflH anu t1e chIIueTs
That the Democratic tariff has
proved highly injurious to the farmer
without the slightest Offset in re-
duced prices to the consumer Is
abundantly proved by the statistics
compiled by Democratic officials Of
the government. The importation Of
meats and dairy products, wool, farm
animals uncluding cattle. hogs,
sheep and poultry, eggs and such
products Of the soil as grains. hay,
vegetables and plants has increased
by leaps and bounds.
During the first ten months OF the
Underwood bill the increase in this
class OF importations over the i'm
portations during like period of the
Payne bill amounted to 100000
900, or l42 per cent. Even the war,
which has operated in some respects
like q protective tariff by diminish
ing foreign production and increas-
ing the foreign demand. could not
Offset the reduced rates OF the Under,
wood bill. the increase during ter
months Of the war under the Demo
cratic measure being 100 per CEN
over like period under the Payne
bill.
It requires no expert economist o,
statistcian to calculate what injury
would have been done the farmer
had not the European war intervenet
to diminish to some extent the effects
OF the Democratic tariff. or wha
would be the results to the farmer'
II the war should suddenly cease be
fore that bill Is radically revised.

The Backward South.


Discussing the destination Of the
convention delegates from the south
ern states. writer In Everybody'S
Magazine enumerates the presi-
Dental primary states-twenty-tw
Of Alabama being northern states.
THE remaining twenty-six states
(Which include all tho southern
states except Alabama) will allow"
he continues, 1.-The various political
parties existing within their limits to
choose delegates to their national
convention in almost any old way"
This is pertinent reminder that
while the Democrats have been loud
IN professions Of reform in presi-
dent-nominating machinery and pro-
.cedure, It is just the states in which
they are in supreme control that are
most backward in adopting reforms.
THE dearth Of presidential primary
laws In the southern states Is not be-
cause Of any desire to hold back Re-
publican regeneration. but deter
mination on the part of Democrats
there to keep their grip on the dele
cations they send to their own DEM
,ocratic conventions, and thus to main
tain their ascendency in Democratic
councils. The Democrats are willing
to reform Republican presidential
politics. but will have no reform in
their own. AS consequence. the
South will be In the saddle at st.
Louis. and 1t will be the same old
South that has held the whip hand
over the Democratic donkey all these

legislative Incanacity.

''It is q bald and malicious lie,"
announces Speaker Clark regarding
the charge that Congress has failed
to do Its work with customary expe-
dition and is far behind with Its leg
islative program. Why. in Heavens
name, would Congress desire to re-
main in Washington even one day
longer than Is absolutely necessary
for the proper transaction of the
public business?" inquiries the
speaker.
But Mr.. Clark Is not sincere in his
statement. No one imagines that
Congress desires to stay there longer
than Is necessary, or that IL has failed
to work many hours each day. What
IS criticised is the incompetent way
in which it works. Congressman are
not elected to work n given number
of hours, but to transact the public
business efficiently and expeditiously.
and now. when Congress has been In
session four months, 1t has accom-
plished 30 little that the speaker
himself is compelled to admit that
adjournment may not come until
fall.
or course the speaker knows per-
fectly well that 1t is the ineGlciency
Of the Democratic majorities that IS
being criticised. that the people do
not care whether congressman work
many or few hours, but they do care
when they work many hours and &C,
complish nothing, and that they arc
bound tocompare the undecided, vac.
iliating course Of the Democratic
leaders with the record for single
mindedness, precision and speed
which has been set by numerous Con
crosses in which the majorities were
Republican.
