It is difficult to forecast the farreaching effects of the new tariff law. It is certainly to bo hoped that some of its disastrous results have been discounted in the past 18 months. Ever since Democratic control of the senate as well as of the house and the executive became apparent the universal prosperity then existing has given place to universal disaster and distress such as no pen can describe. This was largely duo to the threatened assault upon American industries. Now that wo can see the extent of those attacks under the new law wo may at least hope that for the ne t 18 months distress and disaster will yot be so universal. Under the new law it is painfully evident that wages in many branches of industry must bo cut down from 10 to 60 per cent, while in other branches the framers of the bill have blundered into fair protection. That this cutting down process will be attended with widespread strikes is a matter of the most serious apprehension. Strikes are disastrous though the striking workmen are in the right. They are doubly disastrous when, as sometimes happens, the workingman is in the wrong. There is abundant reason for the fear that the strikes in the cotton and pottery industries will be followed by still others. The mischief of the reduction in a few industries is that wages will go down in sympathy in other branches of labor. For example, if wages are higher in one industry, those following a less remunerative calling will offer their services at a lower rate, and so tho rates reach a common level. Under tho.census of 1800 tho total wage earnings of our people reach about if 10,000,000,000 a year. An average reduction of 20 per cent means a loss of $2,000,000,000 annually. Taking into account the reductions made in the last 18months and the further reductions manufacturers will be compelled to make under the new bill, 20 per cent is a low estimate of the redaction of wage earnings sure to follow. Such a reduction would take away onefifth of the consuming power of our people, would destroy one-fifth of our own markets and one-fifteenth of the markets of the world. We cannot estimate the loss of our own markets under this bill. It lias opened the door to foreign importations. Foreign goods will crowd out the American from our own markets. We cannot see the end, but of one thing we may rest assured—prosperity will return again only through Republican success and Republican leg islation. 8erf.no E. Payne. Washington.

I .ate or Early Irrigation.

When to begin and when to close irrigation is still an open question among irrigators, as early irrigation affects soil temperature as well as soil moisture. Irrigation, when the crop is nearly ripe,

plains and valleys is of marvelous depth j also affects the tendency to the producand richness, needing but the touch of tion of leaf and stem. Experiments by water to clothe itself with verdure and J. W. Sanborn at the Utah station inblossom into fruitfulness. And here, 1 dieate that irrigation early in May is many believe, are millions of families to not an economical process, as the %cry

tion of northern California and the portions of Oregon and Washington west of the Cascade range. Seventeen states and territories lie wholly or in part within its confines, which embrace two-fifths of the national domain. The distinguish- i ing characteristic of this region is its aridity, but it also differs widely from the eastern states and the middle west ! in soil, in climate and in the range of productions, writes a New York Sun correspondent who has investigated | some of the largest irrigating enterprises

of the arid region. He says:

Here nature has been most prodigal, i It is a land of towering mountain ranges and of smooth plains whose extent seems limitless. Its climate is unique. The | world’s sanitarium is here. In this land [ of sunshine and dry, pure air the health J seeker may find tho coveted boon.

THE CIRCULATION Ol Labor Is I’linished to Reward Importers Who I’aroiled Lor Grover. The burden of free trade is already j upon us. How can wo lighten it? The j rush of importers to secure their foreign goods from the custom house at the low- | er rates of duty has told tho story. Nearly $10,000,000 worth of foreign goods withdrawn for consumption in loss than a week means the sale of nearly $10,000,000 worth less of American goods manufactured in American mills by American w age earners. It means that j the distribution of more than $5,000,000 j iu American wages has been checked

within five nays.

If this curse continues, there can be j but one result. The foreigners are determined to have and to hold our mar- j kets. Shall we surrender them? We do j not desire—no true American desires— ] that American wage earners should l>e compelled to sell their labor in open competition with the cheaper labor of ; other countries. The workers in the cotton mills of New Bedford, in the flax j mills of New York, iu the potteries of j Trenton, in the glass factories of the west, have entered their protest against a reduction of wages that has been fore-

find homes and a degree of prosperity and industrial independence heretofore unknown among the agricultural classes. Irrigation is to be the great factor in the founding ot this new empire. Stor-

early watering increased the yield of wheat and oats and the ratio of grain to straw, but not the total yield of grain and straw. Irrigation during the first half of July increased the total yield of

ago reservoirs must be built to husband wheat and oats, and the ratio of grain

to straw. It is the usual belief that if a crop ho irrigated while the seed is forming there results a tendency to increase the growth of stem and foliage to the

detriment of seed development. The best results with grain come from

irrigation during June. The results with potatoes, which need but little water, were unfavorable to irrigation before the middle of June or after the middle of July. The best yield of grain was secured where sufficient water was applied to saturate the soil to a depth of 18 inches. The largest yield of grass was secured from the heaviest application of water Drainage did not appear to result in an increased amount of moisture absorbed from the air. The lateral movement of the water was very small. The water of Logan river furnishes a superabundance of lime, but only a very small per cent of the potash, nitrogen and phosphoric acid required by the crops, so that, alone, such water is entirely inadequate to maintain soil fertility. This was also true of the waters of other rivers which were an-

overy drop of tho precious water, and canals must be dug to convey it to the thirsting earth. What individuals and corporations have been doing in favored localities in various parts of the arid region must be done on a vast scale. Many are advocating the cession by the government to the several states of tho public lands within their respective borders that each may undertake for tself tho work of reclamation. Others soo

grave objections to such a plan. To the majority of people irrigation

is a new idea, but it is as old as civilization. Long before the conquest of America the Indian and the Mexican had built canals and reservoirs upon the arid plains of what are now New Mexico and Arizona. For tho beginning of irrigation in tho United States by the white man we have to go back but 25 years. During this period a vast deal has been accomplished, though bearing but an insignificant ratio to tho whole gigantic task. According to the census of 18i)0, a total of 3, (130,000 acres was under irrigation in the states com-

posing the arid region. This was less alyzed. Practically all of the plant food

den? The manufacturers should not be expected to pay higher wages than their foreign competitors and to sell their 1 goods at the same prices. It lias been the decree of Democracy that American manufacturers and American wage earners must be punished in order to reward the New York city importers of foreign goods, who turned ont with such dignified grandeur in their parade of 1802 to the honor and glory of Grover. It is the duty of all true and patriotic Americans to overthrow this for eign domination. Check the sale of these foreign goods, check the stoppage I of our mills, check the cheapening of i our labor by buying American goods j ! whenever and wherever it is possible to j do so. Let the people ask only for American products and insist upon get- |

The effect of the Gorman-Wilson bill cannot be otherwise than injurious to all industries in the United States unless it be that of sugar refining and most harmful to all workingmen and women and their families. The McKinley bill aimed to protect all our industries, including the agricultural interests, and all our laboring people. It so operated and gave a new impetus to manufacturing, increased tho profits of agriculture and gave employment to all who desired it at good wages. 1 no entire country was prosperous, and the people generally were contented. The Gorman-Wilson bill puts at defiance all principles of tariff for revenue only as well as the true principles of protection, it throws wide open the doors for foreign competition in most directions, while it gives protection to a few favored industries, and will increase and intensify all tho evils of class and monopolistic legislation. It is a shameful surrender to trusts and a most shameful abandonment of tho rights and interests of tho country as

a whole.

When this bill comes into operation, our markets will be flooded with foreign made articles, and our mills and factories will be compelled to close or reduce their output. The effect will lie disaster to many of our producers and great and lasting injury to the others. The purchasing power of the people will be largely diminished and in thousands of instauoeii destroyed. We shall find not two but three men seeking every job of work instead of two jobs seeking a workmau, as was the case under the

Doivu With tin* Tnintt*!

The Gorman tariff bill is the law of tho land. Let it be enforced. It will bo remembered that immediately prior to its passage in tho senate Senator Morgan introduced a series of resolutions determining tho illegality of every combination, conspiracy, t^ust, agreement or contract between two or more per sous that would restrain lawful trade or free competition or increase the price of any marketable commodity. Tho penalty is fixed at a fine ranging from $100 to $5,000 and imprisonment for a term varying from three to twelve months. The attorney general is directed to in-

or almost three-fourths of tho value of all tho gold and silver mines in the United States, with the railroads and 1 other improvemeuts. Tho aggregate length of the greater canals—those over 15 feet wide—was found to be 9,000 miles and their cost was over $27,000,- j 000. In California alone about $13,000,000 has been spent on irrigation works and in Colorado $15,000,000. Numerous irrigation projects have post from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 each, and within the next two or throe years the | money invested iu the construction of irrigation works will probably reach the enormous sum of $50,000,000. From these figures some idea may be gained of what will lie involved in the reclama- I tion of any considerable portion of arid

America.

But if the cost of irrigation works is ! groat their value immediately they come into productive use is immensely ! greater, while the increase in the value j of lands they water is altogether pro- j digious. According to tho eleventh con | sus, tho first cost of the irrigation sys- 1 terns iu use in 1889 was $29,611,000, and their value in 1890 was $94,412,-j 000, an increase of 218 per cent—in other words, the value of the productive irrigation works hud more than trebled. The first cost of tho irrigated areas, with their water rights, was found to be $77,490,000, while their value was $290,860,000, an increase in a few years of 283 per cent. These amazing figures need no comment. Feloctlng Seed Wheat. A northwestern miller in The Farmers' Review tells that, the tirst essential in a good milling wheat is strength, indirated bs color, plumpness, hardness and weight. Such a wheat, froo from smut, impure weeds and tho effects of frost, is what should constituto the aim of the Manitoba and northwest wheat grower. As to varieties, ho says: I know of none surer or better for Manitoba and tho west than Red Fyl'o as a milling wheat, though it may not yield as high as some other. Every possible precaution should be taken in order to hasten maturing and ripening before frost, and, by the way, 1 approve a more thorough and systematic use of smudges as a protection against frost. White Fyfe is a first class wheat, but needs a sharp soil. Consider it one grade below Red Fyfe, with which it is
