reoplo, and they saw their produce rot on their
iauds ynar aftttr year f. r want of n market for

Irlme object of the early legislators. There wa

He ondontiy understood how Protection hon-

tcolon, Calhoun said, would be :
"The farmer will find a rcaly market for his
urplus produce, and, what Is almost of equal
cnntte.iueuco, a certulu and cheap supply of all

11 was no loss euro that Protection benefited
the farmer, becaiiKe he, like Jackson, had expo
rlunced the miseries of a lack ot domestic mar

Notwithstanding the teachings of all the great

Wuro most dlnastrous. Ponator Ewlug, of Ohio,
peaking ot tho low tariff period lmuiediutely
preceding the Tariff of 1H24, said:

Colton'B "Life of Henry Clay" thus describes
the wretched condition ot agriculture under
another cxporlmont with low tariff, before the
Vrotectlvo act ot 181i cam to the tanner's
fescue:
"Iu some part of Pennsylvania the people
were obliged to divide bank notos Into halves.
Quarters, eights, and so on, and agree from
cocouslly to use then as money. In Ohio, with
all her abundance, U was hard to got money to
pay taxes. The shenlT of Sluslilnguru County,
as stated by the Uuerusoy Tmri In tho summer
cf M1, sold at auction one four-horse wagon at
Vi.Ul; teu bogs at d'i con Is each: two horses
(said to he worth $M to $73 each) at t- each; two
cows at$l each; a barrel ofsugaratfl.60. and a
tore of goods at that rate. In C'oruty,
Mo., as stated by the llnunlbul Jmrnul, the
Ihorl.T sold three horses at SI . .r0 each ; one large
OX at 12,'i cuius; flvo cows, two steers and one
calf, tho lot at $1.25; twenty sheop at 13s cents
each; twenty four bogs, the lot at 25 cents; one
eight day clock altl.aO; lotot tobacco, seven or
Ignt hogsheads, at 15; three stacks ot hay, each
at 25 cents, and one stack of fodder at 25 cents,"
Bo much tor our own experience with low or
revenue tariffs. England's example is no less
Instructive. Hefore bor adoption ot Free Trade
tier agriculture was the main source ot her
Strength and wealth. It was armies drawn
from English farms that Won her victories,
inade her couquoets and placed her In the proud
place she has occupied for centuries among the
nations of the earth.
To day, eleven million acres of the best
farm land In the world Is lying wasto In ling
land, 2im).(XX) persons annually leave the agri
cultural districts and tho condition of British
agriculture is simply deplorable. I'roeTiade
tins all hut ruined the English farmer, do li has
ruined the Irish farmer. Holt has dealt with
agriculture In India. In tact, our own exporl
ace and that of the whole world Is that a
revenue tariff means doath to the farmer's pros
perity. On the other hand, eoe tow constantly and
froatly the condition of American farmers has
Improved. Never hefore could they get so great
quantity of the things they consume with so
Small a quantity of the things they produce. Th
following comparison hetwt en former and pres

those of the present are, and vindicates the

When that tariff had been voted they di.ici.verr d

rated: "Tho t 'luoof our exports ot bres ljtufTs and

reduction In 1852. The policy which dictated a
low rule of duties on foreign merchandise, It
as thought by those who established It, would
lend to benefit the farming population of tills
Country, by Increasing the demand and raising
lbs price ot our agricultural products In toielgn
markets. The foregoing facts, however, seem
to show, lncoutestahly, that no such result has
followed the adoption of this policy."

this great discrepancy may be explained by the

point of view the same conclusion Is lrreslstlbly

THE UTILIZATION OF WA3TE1.
This cryacalust wool substitutes Is malnlv
founded on lguoritnco. The utilization of wastes
Is as legltlmuto In this Industry as In any oilier.
In every other It Is Commended by the very
economists who Insist that In this particular ll
Is un evidence of degradation and dete-loratlon.
Tho dlscovory that animal and vrgotable fibers
can re co.nnine.i in a warm, uurabio and hand
orno fabric has been a boon to mankind and
womankind, not equaled, perhaps, by auyth.it
uae occurred since tue invention ot auloinalh
lentil machinery.
The utlllatlon of wood pnln In the m.inn
focture of paper has enormously extended Its
use and Increased the educating power of the
prln'.lng press. Just so the use of substitutes
for wool has added to the comfort of IminanUv,
There could not be paper enough made without
the use of w.wd pulp 10 supply Hie dem and. and

Thtrt was a time when the farmer had to pay the price of two or three
tons of hay for a barrel of salt. That tvas in our Revenue Tariff period
and little of the precious stuff could he afford to give his stock. Now it is
so cheap under the McKii.ley Tariff that he can afford to lay it and dump
it, a barrel at a time, in his sheep pasture. And the Tariff has enabled
him to do it. From American Economist.
