The Farmer's Advantage. There Is a double advantage to the American farmer in the protective policy, which it will not be diltkult to see if the results of the application of the protection principle in this country are carefully noted. Not only ha American lahor leen continuously employed at remunerative wages, since the Ding-

American people should be chronicled the part he played In the defeat of William Randolph Hearst for Governor of New York. It Is to the shame of the greatest State in the Union that it came so near committing a blunder which would have resulted In a national calamity. Had Hearst reached the first goal of his desire, nothing short of a political cataclysm could have pre

the products of the farm, but the protection afforded to infant manufacturing Industries has enabled them to

build and eiiuip. with labor saving machinery, the largest establishments of the kind on earth, thus reducing the oust of manufacturing those articles the farmer needs in the tilling of his soil uutU they can be sold at a less price than ever lfore. This double advan-t.-fte means that the farmer receives the -highest possible prices for the product r his fields, by reason of the splendid iome market afforded him, and at toe wine time is able to purchase his machinery, wagons and buggies at. lower prices than he could during the days tefore the application of the protective lllcy had worked such wonders in the industrial world. In view of these conditions, the existence of which none will deny, it is passing strange that any intelligent American farmer would think for a moment of returning to the dark days of a revenue tariff. Mr. Bryan talks long and eloquently of the evils of the protective policy, but mere eloquence can ount for but 1 ttle in the face of demonstrated fact L The average farmer has a dlstinc:. memory of the days when Mr. Bryan's part' was in iwer in both brandies of the government and mad, an onslaught on the protective tariff principle. He remembers' that what he had to sell went at prices so low as to scarcely cover the ost of production, leaving no margin yf profit. It is but natural for him to Tpsrt those days uith the '.days of , .osperity since then, 'and it would be very foolish in him, with this comparison le-

fore his eyes, to be led into so gigantic

h mistake as to vote for free trade by the simple eloquence of a musical voice. Mr. Bryan, of course. like a majority

of free trade orators. w!k are unable to explain the marvelous prosperity of the country under the operation of the Dingley law, engages in bitter invective

against the trusts, declaring that the

tariff Is the mother of these. This fort

f argument, however; will not deceive tlie Intelligent voter. In England, where

they have a revenue tariff, just such a

tariff as Mr. Bryan professes to want. 4hey have practically as many trusts as

we have In tills country, the difference

if any there be, being In the fact that we have a larger field for ojeraiions, more varied Industries, and. hence.

more opportunities for those trusts and combinations, against which there has been the largest number of objections.

which there Is no tariff whatever. Mr. Rrvan's argument is therefore knocked

peril has received a check.

Hearst made a remarkable campaign f we measure it by the election re

turns. It seems increaime inai ue suc

ceeded In casting the spell of his dem-

agogism over so many citizens of New

York, but that he did, should put all

honest, patriotic men on guard against

him. This Is not to say that he was t A.

all wrong. Had he been more consistent, had he lived up to the iolicy he

would demand of others, no one would

have questioned his sincerity. Citizens of New York cannot forget that he turned the tide toward many reforms

in that community, that he called a halt on many Iniquities of the publle

service corporations, but there is nine doubt In the minds of those who feel

they understood Hearst that this was

merely an exhibition of cunning. It

was not because he wanted purity in civil life that he fought the battles against the greedy corporations, but

because he wanted iower, and be knew

enough of public sentlmeut to know

that these attacks would meet wlttt a response from the people. A better man than Hearst, engaged in the same work with less pretense of virtue, and

with a stronger claim to earnestness

and backed by the same agencies, could

not have beeu defeated. President Roosevelt refrained from

projecting his active influence iuto the campaign until he foresaw the danger of Mr. Hushes' defeat. But he seized

the psychological moment, and sent

Root to Utica to tell the -eople or the State their duty as patriots. And there is little reason to question . that that message, delivered by the Secretary of State In his most impressive manner, turned the tide against Mr. Hearst and s:ved New York from lasting disgrace. Toledo Blade.

THE HONOR OF THE UNIFORM.

,N several occasions soldiers anu sauors ol

the United States have been excluded from public places for no other apparent reason than that they were in uniform. In several cases the War Department or the Navy Department has come to the support of the offended soldier or sailor.

In one instance a warrant officer could not get accommodations in a hotel. The Secretary of the Navy took the matter up, and the hotel-keeper was censured. A more recent case Is that of a sailor to whom was refused admittance to a place of amusement, "solely on account of being in the uniform of the United States navy." He brought suit against the proprietor. Rear-Admlral Thomas encouraged the suit, and the President approved It in a published letter. The President said that he wished to make it plain that the uniform of the United States is to be respected, and that the wearing of It Is a presumption In favor of the character of the wearer. The- President also suggested the other side of the matter when he said. "If a man misbehaves, then, no matter what uniform he wears, he should be dealt '.vlth accordingly." There Is a duty upon every citizen to respect the uniform, and there Is also a duty on every man in the service to maintain the dignity of the service. It may happen that In towns frequented by sailors o.r soldiers the act of some man In uniform disgraces his suit of honor. The next man who appears wearing the same sign of honor suffers for the sin of his fellow. The President Is surely right In saying that our enlisted men are a flue class, and that the wearer of the uniform is entitled to respect "so long as lie behaves himself decently." There Is a double responsibility on every one in the service to behave as becomes a man, for his own sake and for the sake of the sign he bears. Youth's Companion.

Tariff and tn Farmer.' Nearly all of the attacks upon the tariff are actuated by persoual or sectional motives. For Instance, some man In an agricultural district cannot see how the tariff benefits the farnie-. He might see It directly. If a the Kanhas City "Journal joints out, the tariff were removed from Mexican cattle and Canadian wheat. But whether the products of the farmer are protected or not, he must have a market for his products, am1 this he cannot have If business conditions throughout the country are uiiet. One Interest of the country cannot shut Itself up end enjoy prosperity while other interests are suffering. If the worklngmen have no wages what matters it how attractive prices iniy lie? With markets cut cJT It t

make little difference how iaK". th

lie in a position to buy or there is little

need of production.

A Republican House.

The nation responded to the appeal of President Roosevelt by returning a Republican majority to the House of Representatives, thus insuring a continuation of the wise and patriotic policy that was Inaugurated by the present administration. Democrats made gains as It was expected they would, for the phenomenal majority of the last House was due largely to the fact that

it was chosen In a national election with Roosevelt at the head of the ticket Some good men fell by the wayside, but that Is a' feature of the political game. There Is satisfaction In the thought that Speaker Cannon has been returned to again preside over the deliberations of the House and that most

of the actual leaders on the Republican side will answer to the roll-call. The administration Is- thus supported by a national legislature that will work in perfect harmony to carry out the

program already mapped out

The Toledo Blade's Washington cor

respondent announces that -the Presi

dent intends calling an extra session

after March next for the purpose of

revising the tariff. This means that the administration will heed the demands of the tieople who are daily

growing more insistent for an adjust

ment of the present schedules and win urge on a Republican Congress the ful

fillment of the party pledge to revise

the tariff whenever conditions warrant.

If this task Is performed in a scientific

manner without regard to the impor

tunities of special Interests, the party should go into the next campaign ar

mor-proof against any assault the op

position can bring against it.

WIFE DESERTERS ATID THEIR GOOD EXCUSE.

ilFE desertion is a serious offense and It is

Increasing in Chicago at a tremendous rate. There are thousands of deserted wives In this city to-day who are barely able to keep themselves and their children from starving. and their number Is being added to every week.

In many cases, of course, the husband only is at fault. Hasty marrlaecs, weak characters, laziness and brutality are all to blame and when they are proved to be responsible the wtfe deserter should be sent to the penitentiary for a lesson to other men. If there were any way to set him to work to support his family that would be still better. But four hundred women who last year apiealed to the Bureau of Charities for assistance because they had been deserted by their husbands confessed that they could not cook or keep house. In their cases there Is something to be said on the side of the husbands, however weak and vicious they iaay be. How can a woman expect to keep a hsuband's love and devotion If she is unable to keep her husband's house or provide him his food and drink? These four hundred women may have been as attractive to the men tbey married as a pretty girl in his harem is to a Turk, but no man can long pursue the delights of love-making oa an empty stomach. Sooner or later his Interest will fade and he 'will go out to look for something to soothe his hunger. If these four hundred marriages should come up for

CHURCH OR CIRCUSf HE trustees of a large church in Chicago have requested the resignation of the pastor because he Is too old to be of further use. He Is sixty years old. Furthermore, they say: "What we need Is a hustling business man who can raise money and a man who can preach sermons that will attract a man

not afraid of notoriety." The conception of the church held by these trustees is the conception of too man churchmen that of material prosperity, influence and power, in the community. In the carrying out of this idea many churches have entered the contest for expensive plants, artistic music and sensational preaching. They require a pastor who has business capacity, social leadership, who Is capable of making an impression. In all this miserable program there is not one idea or iota of real Christianity. If the church is anything more than an ethic society lt Is a divine Institution, which is set for the cultivation of spiritual life. All else Is Incidental to the main purpose the engaging and saving of the souls of men. . ' It is well enough to have expensive churches if they reach the people and minister to their spirits. And music if It docs not degenerate Into mere entertainment And good preaching if it is gospel. But the church that Is looking for a combined orator, social leader, canvassing agent and financier to be its pastor regardless of the depth and sweetness of his spirituality ought to go out of the church business and go Into the show business.

DON'T WORRY. . VERY man, it has been said, Is either a fool or a physician at 40. Some people manage' to be both. Among these Dr. A. T. Schofleld. who lectured on the preservation of1 health at Greshain College, is certainly not to.be counted. Dr. Schofleld lifted up his voice in what we cannot but think a necessary

protest against the amount of encouragement given nowadays to people whose main interest in" life Is their own health. In the course of his remarks Dr. Schofleld. while strongly insisting that our national life is not as healthy as it ought to be, argued to the effect, unless we misinterpret him. that a perpetual worrying about individual health is as unhealthy as most of the morbid agencies that surround us. We incline to think that our health ought to be treated on the same principle as our clothes, which we should (it is submitted) not think about very much once we have got them good and put them on with a due amount of care. After all, as Mephlstopheles pointed out to a famous member of Dr. Sehofleld's profession,, there Is only one way of keeping in perfect physical condition all one's life, and that Is to work at bodily tasks in the open air every day, and never think at all. As to that we say what Chaucer said to St. Augustine's wmewhat similar advice: "Let Austin have his-swink to him reserved."

It was an age where friendship of royalty. and the patronage of nobility counted for everything In the line of material success. Voltaire, without fawning; In fact, on the contrary, openly disregarding this class, wis nevertheless treated by them with most remarkable consideration. The great Frederick of Prussia sent for Voltaire to come from France to be his guest, and treated him with the consideration he would have extended to royal guests. And yet while Voltaire had reached this high position, his youth had been one of constant trial. He had tried almost every occupation and had failed most miserably at every one he tried. After each failure he began again with undaunted courage. Even his imprisonment did not deter him. He started life anew after his years In the RastUe with an assurance worthy of Its reward. ,

We were not far from the balcony where General Grant reviewed the troops, and therefore saw all that could brt seen-a seemingly endless procession of soldiers, cannon and biss bands.

By and by the great show was over, and General Grant was going away. He did not seem at all gay. I wondered why. "Didn't you enjoy It? Wasn't It nice to see all your old soldiers tLere again?"

We were In a very hostile country.

That was easy to see. W hen we went out of town we were fired upon. We thought reprisal necessary, and tried It but to retaliate you must have some one to retaliate on. We saw no one. Day after day we marched over barren hills and through straggling villages and looked for foes. We found only villagers. They tilled their rields and looked upon us curiously. When we asked where the enemy was they shook their heads and said they knew f none.

"Where are the dacolti?" we asked. "What are dacolts?" they answered. "Evil men with guns we said. They shook their heads. They were all peaceful cultivators, and knew nothing of such things. Then we went on, and each peaceful cultivator unearthed his gun and followed us, to get a potshot at us.
