congress are accustomed to accord to (ilm the possession of remarkable iniuence and power ovc the great body of tbe people. Of course it Is realized that a discussion of the tariff in his Columbus speech would have been out Of place, inasmuch as he was address2uq; a constitutional convention and the constitution takeB cognizance of toe tariff and its corollaries only in the abstract, but his lack of reference to it has again called attention to his avoidance, on all occasions, of the tariff question as a live, pliable issue. In all of Roosevelt's campaign peeches and public utterances and in thaj portion of the papers of state in which his views upon great problems of the day appear, there are very, very few references to that particular issue which the leaders of both parties have nominated as the king piece in the pre-election game now being contested Lcie in Washington. It Is true that not tint II the closing years of his second and elective term did the tariff come prominently to the fore. This was when, after ten years of unexampled prosperity, prosperity that has had no parallel In the history of the nations of the world, the lowering clouds of Industrial depression appeared, credits became Impaired, business became nervous and affrighted and the golden Btream that so long had flowed, by main channel and tributaries, to every

BY ISAAC 1 TOTTEN. A farmer mounted comfortably on a heavy load of grain swung his team in close to the curbing near the watering trough out by Glen Miller and stopped; another farmer in an empty wagon pulled up alongside the load of grain and also stopped. "Wnat'ch-hauling, clover seed?" asked the farmer in the empty wagon of the driver on the load of grain. "Do I look like a millionaire?" was the answer. "That much clover seed would be worth considerable, wouldn't it?" "It wouldn't take only a few bushel more to make it worth a thousand dollars if it was clover seed." At the present time, so the feed store men, tell us, clover seed is selling for $15.50 a bushel. This means that the farmer who did not lay in his supply of this valuable seed last fall must now pay about $5.00 more per bushel than what it would have cost him at that time. The high price of clover seed is not due to a corner in this kind of seed, but to the fact that the extreme dry weather early last spring killed out many fields of this legume which cut short tbe supply of seed Killing out of the clover crop last year not only cut short the supply of seed, but it cut short the supply of clover bay, and it caused a break in the system of crop rotation. This means that much readjusting of the system will be necessary to get the crops in their proper rotation again. Suppose we listen again to what the two farmers are saying: "You say that's wheat you're hauling?" "Yes." "What's it worth now?" "Dollar a bushel." "That's $0.20 more per bushel than it was last fall, ain't it? Looks as if it paid to hold grain. Do you think the wheat is killed out this year?" "I don't know. It looks as though it might be; but it seems to me if the lraln buyers were much afraid of it they would be boosting the price a iittle. I am anxious to see how it does come out; because it looks bad now." The low yield per acre of wheat on many farms during the past few years, and the uncertainty of the crop Is

causing many farmers to think quite seriously of substituting some other crop In their rotation system. Oats, of course, Is the crop that

most farmers would substitute for the

rotatlon system, it throws a very large amount of work upon the farmer right at a time when every thing else requires attention. "Do you know where I can get some rood seed oats?" asked the man on the load of grain. "Yes, I've got some that I will sell you: their fine, too." "How much are you asking for them." "Sixty cents! Gee whiz, man! I could get oats last fall for thirty-five cents a bushel." "I know it. That's the time you should have bought your seed." It makes some difference in the impression on a man regarding the price s of commodities when he has something to sell and when he wishes to purchase something. The farmer with the load of grain drove on, and the other farmer in the empty wagon pulled up to the watering trough to give his horses a sip of the cooling water. While his horses were drinking e woman came along with a load of apples, which she bad taken pains to grade and sort so that she could get the highest prices. "How much do you get for apples now ?" the farmer with the empty wagon questioned. "It depends on the kind of apples," replied the woman. "For some I get a dollar a bushel, others a dollar and a half, and for these fancy ones I get a dollar seventy-five." "Don't seem possible that apples can be so high now when you could get all you wanted last fall for twenty-five cents a bushel." 'Yes, and hundreds of bushels were fed to the hogs, and many rotted beneath the trees." It doesn't take a very large quantity of produce now to bring a nice little handful of money to those who have it to sell. A few eggs and a little butter taken to the grocer is sufficient to pay for the week's supply of groceries, and often-times brings a little cash in addition. If Pete wants a new pair of rubber

the surrey, and takes them to Rich

mond where he gets the cash which is to pay for the boots and perhaps a few packages of scrap besides. If we would follow tbe farmer who was in the empty wagon by the watering trough at the Glen we would, no doubt, see him stop to gossip with another farmer he is of the loquacious

kind and we might hear a conversa

tion something like this: "Sold your corn yet, Al?"

"Yes, sold it yesterday; going to commence hauling in the morning if

I can get my team shod today." "What do you get. $0.65?"

"YeB, but it ain't enough; ought to

Lave $0.75, at least."

"Still, when hogs are only $6.00 per

cwt.. it looks as though $0.66 was a

pretty good price for corn."

"Have you sold all of your hay yet,

Henry?"

"I've got a few loads to haul off yet,

Al. Why?"

' Oh, I thought I might get a load or two of you, mine is going to run short,

I'm afraid. What do you want a ton?"

"$20.00."

"It's quoted in the paper at only

$18.00."

'You can't tell anything about the quotations there; they've had butter
