A. C. Stauffenberg, of Manhattan,. 111., came over yesterday to look after his farm interests. Mr. Stauffenberg is convinced that up to date, with all the praise that has been heaped upon Mr Wilson because of his apparent good intentions that no resident of the United States has received any benefit from his administration Foreign products have been admitted free of duty and the price of corn and other grain is believed by those who have given it much study at least 10 cents per bushel lower than it would have been if we Had not been, placed into competition with Canada and Argentine. Mr.JStauffenherg, however, has not found the price of living reduced and frankly states that if the support of president Wilson depended upon him it would .ho withdrawn in short order. It is a nice thing ‘to have “good intentions.” Mr. Wilson is credited with a brain full ,<f them, hut when coupled with a desire to aid the farmers of foreign countries and the manufacturers: and the laborers of England, Germany, France and Canada, they don’t provide any hope for home prosperity.
