"PROTECTED” FARMERS.

Here is an instance of how the tariff helps the farmer: 1 On August 27, the wheat known as No. 1 northern, sold in Winnipeg, Canada, $1.04i4 per bushel. On the same day, the same grade of wheat, called here No. 1 hard, sold in Minneapolis for $1.00%. On August 27, No. 2 northern wheat sold in Winnigeg, Canada for $1.02% a bushel. On the same day the same wheat sold in Minneapolis for 92% cents a bushel. No. 3 northern sold in Wjinnipeg that day for 98 cents. The same wheat differently named sold in Minneapolis on the same day for 88% cents. Oats that sold in Winnipeg for 42% cents sold in Minneapolis the same day for 30 cents. A similar difference . prevailed in the price of barley. '

In a word, Wheat sePs in the American market from 4 to 10 cents than in the Canadian market. Yet there is a duty of 25 cents a bushel on wheat that, tries to get into America from Canada: Why. doesn’t the American farmer get the advantage of that duty? Because we export wheat instead of importing it. An import duty does riot and can not help the price of an article of export—unless the producers of that exported article are in a trust that is strong enough to fix prices. The farmers have never formed a tru^t. It is now. in order for some jingo paper over the border to ask for a high tariff on wheat to protect the free and manly Canadians from the “pauper product” of American farms! —Chicago Journal.

AN. ABLE TARIFF SPEECH.

Senator Shively’s speech here Tuesday afternoon was a plain, sober talk on the tariff and the way in which it has been and is now used for the enrichment of the few at the expense of the many. In the making of our tariff laws he showed how the organized combines control the legislation in their interests, how competition is suppressed and high prices established and maintained. He said, “Congress passes tariff laws,

but monoply makes tariff laws.” He said the tariff question* was a moral question, a question effecting home life and home affairs.--He ridiculed the idea of protection against foreign pauper labor, and said thrt qur greatest com petit >rs in the world of trade are those countries in which the laborers are the moat intelligent ind best paid He sh 'wed that the free, inteHig.. nt labor could and did easily surpass pauper labor.' In asking for protection we belittle ourselves, he said. The fallacy of protection to staple farm products was plainly shown; tariff for revenue and tariff for protection compared and contrasted far 'such a way that even the dullest' surely could see that the democratic position is right. It was shown that with but few exceptions ail trusts owe their existence to the suppression of competition that is afforded them through high tariff duties. Take it all in all, Senator Shively's address was an able presentment of the democratifor position on tariff question, sue speech was delivered :n a courteous and gentlemanly manner and the names of men and parties were only oceasionaily used; he j dealt almost exclusively with facts and principles. Before the campaign is over we may hear many more entertaining speeches than this one, more jc ecand f i!, but for sound reasoning,! solid tacts, earnest delivery and pure 1 English this speech will not be surpassed this campaign in Rensselaer.

TRUTH ABOUT THE TRUST.

“Expected Economies From Combination” Do Not Materialize. [Louis D. Brandeis in Collier’s.] Leaders of the new (third term) party argue that industrial monopolies should be legalized lest we lose the efficiency of large scale production and distribution. No argument could be more misleading. * * * It may be safely asserted that In America there is no line of business in which all or most concerns or plants must be concentrated in order to attain the size of greatest efficiency, for, while a business may be too small to be efficient, efficiency does not grow indefinitely with increasing size. What tbe most efficient size is can be learned definitely only by experience. The unit or greatest efficiency is reached when the disadvantages of size counterbalance the advantages. The unit of greatest efficiency is exceeded when the disadvantages of size outweigh tbe advantages. Tbe history of American trusts makes this clear. That history shows:

First —No conspicuous American trust owes its existence to tbe desire for increased efficiency. “Expected economies from combination” figure largely in promoters’ prospectuses, but they have never been a compelling motive In the formation of any trust. On the contrary, the purpose of combining has often been to curb efficiency or even to preserve inefficiency, thus frustrating the natural law of survival of tbe fit test. ■

Second.—No conspicuously profitable trust owes its profits largely to supe rior efficiency. Some trusts have been very efficient, ns have some independent concerns, but conspicuous profits have been secured mainly through control of the market, through the power of monopoly to fix prices, through this exercise of the taxing power. Third.—No conspicuous trust has been efficient enough to maintain long as against the independents its proportion of the business of the country without continuing to buy up from time to time Its successful competitors

George T. Craddock, Rubie, Ark., says: “I wa sbothered with lumbago for seven years so bad 1 could not work. I tried several kinds of kidney medicine which gave me but little or no relief. Two bottles of Foley Kidney Pills cured me and now I can do any kind of work. 1 cheerfully recommend them to my friends.” At A. F. Long’s.

TAXING COAT OFF POOR MAN’S BACK

Consrete Illustrations of What Proieciive Tariff Really Means. CAUSE WORKERS TO THINK. Iniquities of the Payne-Aldrich Act, Taft’s “Best Law Ever,” Strikingly Told In Figures. Concrete examples of how a protective tariff operates are causing the workingman, the "poor man.” to do a lot of thinking nowadays. He is beginning to understand whether it is not about time to eall a bait on the Republican practice of taxing the coat off his back and threatening him with the j loss of his shirt and his socks if he does not submit. All through the present tariff law, ; passed by a Republican congress and indorsed by a Republican president as THE BEST TARIFF BILL EVER PASSED, are to be fouiid discrimina'tions. the higher duty on the cheaper article, the lower dury on the dearer arti Je, thus placing on the shoulders of those least able to bear it the greater burden of the protective system Here are illustrations: The cheapest wool blankets bear a duty of 1da.42 per cent: the dearest, ■ 1042*5 percaiL . . . Flannels, not more than 40 cents a pound, are taxed- at 143 07 per cent; over 70 cents a pound. To2>7 per cent.

Shotguns, worth from $5 to $lO, 47.67 per cent; worth over $lO. 45.46 per cent These are only a part of the discriminations, gleaned from a swift conning of some of the schedules. Re duced to simplest terms, they mean that the poor man is taxed higher than the rich man.

Traveling men are decided factors in molding public sentiment No other c-lass of men come in more foreefu i contact with the actual condi don of the high cost of living without a corresponding increase in salaries.
