Where Does the Robber Tariff Come I.

Philadelphia Record (I)em ) « Farmers who have been unlucky enough to settle in western Kansas are suffering from their annual visitation of drought. The hot winds over the treeless plains burn the corn until it is fairly cooked in the ear, while the grass is iso scorched it will not make hay. These adverse meteorological conditions are of almost annual recurrence in the western section of Kansas, and ii is surprising that farmers could have been induced to settle in that well-nigh rainless region. There, however, they are; and there they will have to stay, without even the poor satisfaction of having corn to burn for fuel next winter.
