Genszler, 17 a sermon Bunday night, from toe pnlpit of the Lutheran church of which : « is pastor, created a sensation iu Belinsgrove. He cited one of the recent instances of their overraling President Judge MeClure in granting a liquor license, despite remonstrances ; also their antagoniz. ing tifm in civil suits, “If they have not been tampered with by brewers or other litigents,"” declared the Rev, Mr, Ger -zler, “their glariog injustices eould ooly be laid &o gross ignorance,’ — a. ; THE CANDIDATE AND THE FARMERS, Mr. Taft has the utmost respect for the farmers. They cast five or six million votes, and the candidate recog- nizes that they constitute the boue and the sinew, the judgment and the brain, of the country. He longs to have them prosperous and happy, and he hopes that they will vote for him. Helis trying to make them think that the Republican party has done a whole lot for them, and that they ought to continue the party in power, He cites the efforts of the administra- tive branch of the Government to pro- mote their interests : but it was Mer. Hatch, of Missouri, a Democrat, who carried through Congress the oleomar- garine bill to protect dairymen from the competition of imitation butter. It was the same Democratic Congress- man who carried through Congress the bill raising the status of the Bureau of Agriculture to an executive depart- ment, with a Cabinet officer at its head, and it was Mr. Cleveland who appointed Mr. Colman, of Missouri, to be the first Becretary of Agriculture The dominant issue in this campaign is the tariff, Mr. Taft would like the farmers to suppose the tariff is in their interest. That everything the farmer buys is enhanced in price by the tar- iff hardly needs argument ; what does any one suppose the tariff is for except to increase the price of every domestic article which has, or might have, for- eign competition ? Bat it is manifest not enhance the prices of commodities of which we are large exporters, and whose prices must necessarily be fixed in the European markets, where they India, Argentina and Australis and the corn of Argentina and Southern Europe. There is only one duty that even been used for ever wo bait to induce the farmers tariff hook. the number of sheep in the hax decreased nearly ten millions in many Years to bite ti am “ the past five years, and =o distinguish as J. KR, Dodge several years ago pointed out it a report to the Agricultural Depart. ment two vitally important ed a Protectionist statistician facts east of the Mississippi, and mutton sheep are taking the place of wool sheep. In other words, the duty on ‘wool fails entirely to accomplish what it is supposed to exist for. In Massa. chusetts there is hut a handful of sheep, and they are decreasing. Kan was has 15 dogs for every sheep. Wool raisiog is no longer a farm, but a ranch industry. ed to the Republican party at ail, cmset————— Hepublicans Tax. Eaters Republican extravagance received attention io ao address by Mr. Bryso in St. Paul, sod among other thiogs said : by is it that the Republican party is #0 much more extravagant than the Democratic party io the expenditure of public money? There reasons © First, lenders are more intimately associated with the tax-eaters than with the tax- payers. They hear the hungry clamor of the men who spend money more than they do the protests of the masses who contribute revenues. Bat there is a second reason : The Republican leaders have taught the doctrine that taxation is an unalloyed good. They have tried to cultivate a public opinion to support the idea that tariff taxes on the theory that, even when not needed for revenue, are a direct advantage to the protected interests and an indirect advantage to the whole country. Itis not strange that people who consider taxation a blessing would be inclined to make the blessing as large as possible. The Democratic party is in a position to bring reform in the matter of expen- ditures, It believes that a tax is de- fensible only when necessary and that it should be reduced to the lowest limits consistent with good govern- ment. Our party is pledged to reduc- tion in appropriations and to economy in every department of Government and our position ought to appeal with special force to those of our population who are engaged in agriculture, gre two Farmer Fpecial Safle er, Bpeaking of Republican extrava- gance, Mr. Bryan, io an addrees at St, Paul, Minnesota, Monday, made these statements, of species! interest to ihe farmer : While every elemeht of our popula. tion suffers to a greater or less extent because of the unnecessary expendi. tures of the Government, the farmers have special reason for complaint, be cause they pay wore than their share of the taxes collected and receive less than their share of the benefits which flow from the expenditure of the cor- poration. Nearly all of our Federal revenues, excepticg postal receipts, are collected from internal revenue taxes and Import duties, and these are taxes upon consumption, Taxes upon con. sumption always overburden those of moderate means and underburden the rich, If the Federal taxes could be separated from the price of the article in which they are concealed and esgh person's per capita tax be shown, it { Continued on next column, ) A Service of Rededioation, The Grace Reformed church, of Bpring Mills, will be rededicated next Bunday morning September Gth, at 10:80 o'clock.
