/THE PROTECTION POT THE FARMER PUTS MUCH IN, BUT TAKES NOTHING OUT. A Dakota Wkeatgrower Explains His Position and Asks For Consideration—loss Protection on Wbat He Has to Buy Is What the Farmer Needs. The following letter was received by the ways and means committee last falL It was written by Mr. DatusC. Smith, a large wheatgrower of Blanchard, N. D.: * ‘Gentlemen—Many makers and sellers of goods having appeared before yon with arguments to show why the government should assist them in getting better prices from their customers in I the United States than they otherwise would get, will you not consider a suggestion or two from a buyer? It is not yitended by this covertly to remind you of the fact that there are really buyers as well as sellers of goods in this country, but it is desired seriously to call your attention to the fact that there is a large class of people in this country engaged’ in agricultural pursuits whose selling market is the world, a market governed by the law of the world’s supply and demand, and that all who send their products to such a market must accept prims that are quite beyond the jurisdiction of the congress of the United States. I am aware that this must be well known to all the members of your honorable committee, but, I am led to believe that it may emphasize the fact if one whose in-, d us try is thus affected should appear before you. I am engaged in wheat farming in North Dakota, and although I do not present an argument ‘by request’ I trust that I shall not misrepresent the very large number of people who are engaged in that industry. “The great product of our state is wheat, and it so happens that, owing to our geographical position in relation to the great lakes, nearly all of it goes to Europe—that is, we are raising wheat very largely for export This affords an unusual opportunity for the study of the selling market for all of our great export crops. In our own case our wheat finds its way to Europe, there to meet the streams of wheat from India and south Russia and Argentine. Mingling with those wheats and the wheats of the importing countries, they all find there a common level of prices. Our wheat must mainly go to Europe and must there meet the prices of the world or else be dumped into the sea. Let there be a marked decline in wheat in India today, the nows outruns the sun, and tomorrow morning wheat prices drop in the remotest comer of the Dakotas. No better proof that our markets for wheat are fixed by the world need be given than is found in the fact that with the smallest crop in years the prices of wheat are the lowest ever known to the trade. It seems pretty clear that, however it may be with other products and manufactures of the United States, the wheat of North Dakota is in direct and unavoidable competition with the wheat raised by the pauper labor not of Europe alone, but of Asia as well

.Now, does it require any argument to show that if the wheat of the Dakotas, the great wheat states of America, must accept the world’s prices all other wheat raised in this country must, grade for grade and transportation allowed for, meet the Dakota prices or else remain unsold? 1 shall assume that no such argument is needed; but, for the consideration of any members of your committee who are not familiar with farming, I wish to say a word regarding other crops th^n those that are exported. They, too, are generally regulated in their prices by the remuneration found in the great staple export crops. “The Michigan farmer turns to raising beans and other small crops because there is so little profit in the staple crops. Other farmers become beangrowers because of the fine profit they think the Michigan farmer finds in beans, and bear down the price and the profit to the level of other farm products. “And so on through a great list that might he given are the ptioes of 6ne crop after another pressed down to a fair relation with the profit found in the great staple export crops. “I claim then, and it seems as though J men with open minds must accept it as a fact, that the products of most farmers of the country meet in competition directly or indirectly the products of the world and must accept the world’s prices.

oince you uiumui uieu givo us efficient protection on what we have to 6ell, wo would be very glad if yon could bring it about that we pay a little less protection on what we have to buy. 1 know that this tribute that we pay is for the alleged good of the country as a whole, but 1 beg you, gentlemen, to look about you. See the wonderful prosperity of the protected manufacturing interests and then the steadily increasing depression in agriculture, and say if you think it wise or patriotic or even fair to so enhance the prices of things the latter must buy, even for the sake of general prosperity. The country is indeed prosperous, but the farmer has generally to go away from home to see evidences of it “I am not unmindful of the arguments of the manufacturers. They employ large numbers. So do we—half of the population of the United States. They have reduced cheir prices. So have we, in wheat to a lower figure than has been known in a hundred years, and to scarcely two-thirds of the price of 10 years ago, and so, too, has all the world reduced its prices where legislation has not prevented. “They pay better wages than does the old world. So do we, two or three times over, but we have never imagined it due to protection. We have supposed that our higher wages were due to our better opportunities. We still believe that ‘America is but another word for opportunity, ’ for farm and factory alike without regard to protection laws. Especially do we believe when we reflect that labor of all kinds has been higher here than in England, not for years alone, hut for 16Q jrears. ”

The Winslow jjjpeyiator has gone to ihe wall. Last week the paper failed to come out for want of support. Elijah Richardson, formerly a resident of,lIlls county, died at Oakland City last Tuesday. The tnneral occurred Wednesday. The board of commissioners of Pike county are In session this week. There is considerable business before that body at this time. --* The board of commissioners yesterday granted liquor licenses to W. E. Scales, Winslow, and W. S- Mitchell, J. K. Heath and James Kelly, Petersburg. The wife of Trustee Silas Kirk, of Logan township, died on May 22d after a lingering illness of consumption. She was forty-two years old. The funeral took place at the Montgomery cemetery at Oakland City. Ed Feller in Uuited States commissioner’s court yesterday confessed complicty in the robbery of the postoffice at Glezen, near Oakland City. He is held under bond to the United States grand jury and will be taken to Indianapolis shortly by Deputy United States Marshal T. J. Groves. —Evansville Cornier. -— A militia company is being organized in (his city. There are now about forty who have agreed to enter the li*t. Fortv-six men are required to organize a company including the officers. The names of officers cannot now be learned. The company will probably be tilled this week when all necessary steps will be taken toward the organizion. People in talking about the scarcity of money and hard times will please take nolied that the $30,000 county bonds drawing six per cent interest brought a premium of $1,951. This shows conclusively that there is lots of idle money in the country when big money lenders from different cities will pay such a high premium. The county gets the money for about five per cent iuterest.

No jollier fishing party pver left the city than that one of Tuesday morning. The hoys started in an old wagon which was loaded down with fishing tackle, guns, cooking utensils, and the other paraphernalia necessary for a party of that kind In the party were Joe Newkirk, Salem Hammond, Morris Frank, B<>b Lee, Jirn Benedict, Charles Pipes, Jim Miley and Bay King, Jim Brumfield and Warner Barrett joined the party Wednesday morning, taking with them an immense amount of grub and fish bait for the boys. There is no telling just when the boys will return home as they went pre-paredi-to catch fish if it “took all sun - mer.” The Princeton Democrat has this to say of an accident in the home of a former citizen of this city: “An accident occurred at the home of John W. Brady on west State street late Saturday evening which had it not been tor the presence of mind of Mrs. Brady would have attended by serious results. Mrs. Brady left the room for a moment leaving her two year old son alone, when the child caught hold of the table scarf, pulling it off and with it the lamp- The oil in the lamp caught fire, making quite a large blaze. Mrs. Brady heard the noise and running into the room threw the burning lamp out In the yard just in time to prevent an ex plosion.” Concerning the newspapers of this city a correspondent of the Washington Democrat has the following to sav : “Petersburg is well supplied with newspapers. The Democrat, published bv McC. Stoops is away ahead of the town. Mr. Stoops is doing splendid service tor the party, and wilt in all probability, make a wining fight this fall. The Press is well edited by the Krebs boys, is republican in politics and seenis? to be conducted on a high plane of journalism. The New? is Em Harrell’s paper and is the most original in the state. It is independent republican, but giv$s about as hard knocks to the republicans as it does to the democrats. Em is au old bachelor and one of the best fellows that walk the earth. He is a favorite with the girls and a pretty bnquet made by the fair hands of some pretty girl frequently finds its way to the News sanctum.” lSucklen’s Arnica Salve.
