Good Times for Farmers,
, There is a pleasing con
trast in the returns received
by the farmers at the pres
ent as compared with the
period of two years preced
ing the election of President
McKinley. , The " American
Agriculturist-: presents fig
ures to show .the great im
provement that has taken
place, estimating, (that the
produce of the United States
farms for the past year was
worth to the farmers over
1,600 millions of dollars
more than in either of the
depressed years j noted ,
which is an average ad
vance of 31 per cent, in val
ues compared with' the low
point. The live stock of
the country is said to be
worth 700 millions of dollars
more than during the hard
times, the staple crops 400
millions of dollars more, oth
er crops 200 millions of dol
lars more, and the produce
of live stock such as meats,
dairy products, hides, and
.pelts r etc . , 370 millions of
dollars more.
This change for the better
in the value of farm prod
ucts has completely . altered
the condition 'of the agricul-
t u ral classes ; 1 Th ey have

Porto Rico aiid Hawaiiv
: A correspondent of. ' the
American Economist :in Ste ,
Genevieve, Mo., writes . as
follows concerning the diff
erence in the political status
of Hawaii and Porto Rico:
ThfiTrepublicans here arewat a loss how
to refute the charges made by the demo
crats that the republican party has shown
Unjust discrimination in the matter of
adopting Free Trade with Hawaii and
then imposing a Tariff amounting j to .. 15
per, cent of Dingley Tariff ; rates - on im
ports and exports passing between Porto
Rico and the United States. Even "Puck",
brings this allegation to the front with a
cartoon in its last issue. You . will . con
fer a favor by.giving us an explanation
with which to defend ourselves. ;
The answer to this query
is so simple, so easy and so
clear that it convicts of .the
offence of deliberate perver
sion of fact a 1 Free-Trade
newspapers which have
sought to show inconsisten
cy and unfairness on the part
of ours government in its
treatment of Hawaii and
Porto Rico respectively . The
distinction between the two
cases consist in the fact that
whereas Porto Rico is con
quered territory and comes
to us without pre-imposed
conditions as to any and all
of the privileges of citizen
ship in the great republic,
Hawaii comes to us volun
tarily, seeking annexation un
der specified conditioas. . A
mong these conditions was a
stipulation for unrestricted
commercial intercourse be
tween Hawaii and the Uni
ted States. At the time the
treaty of annexation was
ratified by the two countries
Hawaii was and for several
years had been enjoying the
benefits of absolute Free
Trade with the United States
through the provisions of a
reciprocity treaty entered in
to several years ago. It will
thus be seen that while Ha
waii had an . equal voice in
stipulating the conditions of
annexation , Porto Rico ber
ing territory wrested from
Spain by conquest; came to
us as the spoils of war v and
without stipulations or con
ditions. 1 In the history of
wars of all times no conquer
ed people has been treated
with magnanimity and liber
ality equal to that accorded
to Porto Rico through the
act, of the United States
Congress in establishing a
Tariff amounting to only a
bou t 4 per; cent . ad val ore m
and in providing that : every
dollar ;of , money V collected
under that tari ff. jsho uld be
turned back to Porto Rico
for the benefit of its -people.

The Tin Plate Baby.
nrUh, Wnirripihnrp-' Rerub-
licaii is .authority for the
statement that almost eight
hundred million pounds of
tin plate were manuracturea
in the , United: States last
year. The statement, it says,
rests upon bmcial tigures.
A few. years ago,"' when
the McKinley bill was be
fore Congress, one of its pro
visions was that there should
be a duty upon tin -;. plat e :
The tin " plate industry of
this country" was . not , then
even in its infancy, but the
advocates of that duty be
lieved that under a Protec
tive Tariff it could be devel
oped as other industries had
been developed before Wi t h -out
the slightest equivocation
they made this point, and
despite ridicule and 'abuse
they held to their belief and
practically forced the tin
plate provision through both
houses. The Free' Trade
organs yelled corruption un
til they got tired of the
sound of their own voices,
and then quit . from sheer
desperation . But the duty
on tin plate" waylaid. "
The figures as . they are
now recorded show what a
Protective Tariff will do
when levied with a conscien
tious regard for the welfare
of the whole people. At the
time the McKinley bill was
pending no tin plate at all
was being manufactured in
this country. During the
year 1891 we imported one
billion " thirtj'-six million
popnds, but last year there
was manufactured in this
country sevenreights of all
the tin plate which was used.
The predictions in the mat
ter of the manufacture' of
steel rails were again realized
to the intense disgust of the
Free Traders. . Tin plate
was their last ditch, and
they were swept from it even
more easily than from the
first. . . J
It is, of course, held that
4 4 the growth was forced,"
and that there will be a re
action of vast magnitude be
fore many months. Possibly
there will; Put while we
await that consummation
thousands of American work
ihgmen are earning living
wages in the industry which
the. Free Traders foredoom
ed to destruction , and which
we have no doubt they would
gladly have destroyed. A3
in the ,case . of steel rails,
however there is a .chance
that they will not live to
have that wish gratified,
each .year having,, added, to
thie vigor of the ;4tin' plate
baby ;'' Because a given thing
was never done before is no
reason in. this age why it
cahhdtbe done now, Agen
eration hence: projectsiwhich
excite only ridicule now ill

at the projectors will be en

latter 's' genius and invention .
