Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 20, Number 69, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 May 1899 — Page 2 Advertisements Column 1 [ADVERTISEMENT]

Gov. Mount has issued his proclamation declaring all laws passed by the recent legislature to be in full force from April 27th. Morgan county clerk was the last to acknowledge the receipt of the printed laws. State Statistician Conner is something of a prophet himself and predicts that this will be an exceptionally dry year. He says, “We are in the cycle of dry sea- | sons this year. There has been an unusual rain fall since last summer, and there is about the same total fall every year. We have already had almost our share for the entire year. Then the winds promise to be from the north-west, blowing steady, and this means dry weather. In fact everything points to an unusually dry season for this section.” A tribute to the effectiveness of the Protective policy in adding to the general welfare of the United States is paid in a recent report of the German imperial commissioner at Bremen, as follows: “The strong tendency toward the United States, in spite of immigration having been rendered most difficult, finds an explanation in the fact that American industry has largely developed in consequence of the Dingley Tariff, and that the demand for experienced artisans has therefore greatly increased. Moreover, German manufacturers have, in order to save the customs duties, established branch houses of their works in the United States.” < Facts like these are, like a barbed wire fence, “hard to get over.” Free Trade writers don’t attempt to get over them. They dodge and ignore them.
