WEDNESDAY EVENING Farmers Are Not Blind to the Effects of the Democratic Tariff Tremendous Losses to the Agricultural Interests Have Followed the Free Trade Experiment THOSE thousands of farmers who will attend the great picnic of the Grangers at Williams Grove this week are not likely to listen with pa tience to the Democratic orators who will strive to explain away their party s broken pproniises and the ser ious results of free trade under the Wilson administration The Democratic administration has been In power for a little over a year. Its first important legislative act," the tariff, has been in effect a little more than six months. This is a compara tively short period. It would have seemed almost incredible, at the time this act was passed, that in six months thereafter its great feature would stand out clearly as a great national blunder. Yet this has come to pass. And now this blunder is practically admitted by the leading authority in the Democratic party in the matter with regard to which the blunder was made. This blunder concerns the great in dustry of agriculture. As to Pennsyl vania. the manufacturers of the State are so much in evidence that many of our people do not realize that Penn sylvania is a great agricultural State also. But it is noted for the number, good management and general excel lence of its farmers, and for its large agricultural production. A recent report of the Department of Agriculture Of the United States practically admits that in our country to-day the incentive to more farming and better farming is wanting. This report from the Department Bureau of Statistics says: However desirable increased pro duction of farms may be from the consumers' standpoint, it does not follow that such increased produc tion would result In anv increase in the cash income per farm, or per capita of farm population, or that prices paid by consumers would be any lower. In Pennsylvania the greatest crop is corn, as in so many of our great agricultural States. In 1911 Penn sylvania had 1,435,0®0 acres in corn and the yield was 63,858.000 bushels. The State has steadily Increased Its acreage and yield of corn since 1 909. And to-day it would like to and could go on to produce much more corn, as could also our other States. But the Republican duty of 15 cents per bushel has been swept away, and corn is now on the Democratic free list, and corn is being brought in in enormous quantities, principally through the Atlantic ports, from Ar gentina and other distant countries. Without a comparison of the actual figures it is h?.rd to realize what this new competition means. We have now at hand the government statistics of imports for the first four months under the new tariff, from October 4, 1913, to the end of January of this year. During the corresponding four months one year ago, the imports of corn Into the United States amounted to 258.684 bushels, valued at $139,766, and yielded some revenue to the United States Treasury. During the corresponding four months one year later, the first four months under the new tariff, the imports of corn amounted to the enormous total of 7,- 004,159 bushels, valued at $4,656,216, and yielded no revenue whatever to the United States treasury but entered without toll Into the American mar ket The farmers of Pennsylvania will TELEGRAPH realize before long what this new competition means. And they will understand the extent of it when they consider that this importation during onlJ one-third of a year is about 11 per cent, of the entire production of corn in the great State of Pennsylva nia throughout an entire year." If these imports continue at the pres- C "J, rate throughout the year, they will amount to about a third of the en tire production of Pennsylvania in that period. Of course, with an agricultural pro duct, it cannot be predicted with cer tainty that the imports of one period of four months will continue at the ®® me ra *e throughout the whole year. There are certain season for corps, and crop conditions vary. And yet, as corn can come into our markets free of any duty from all countries where corn can be grown, and as ad ditional arrangements for new and greater Importations will naturally be made with every passing month, it is Improbable, since far greater importa tions are indicated by the statistics at hand, that the imports of corn for the year 1914 will exceed the average an nual corn crop of Pennsylvania. It Is reported that the recently har vested corn crop of Argentina will be much greater than any crop hereto fore producted in that country. As the greater part of the Argentina crop is exported, it Is practically certain that much larger quantities or Argen tine corn will come to the United States in the near future, and that the free access of our markets will en courage a still larger production in Argentina next year. And now it is reported that Russia will make a gov ernment monopoly of the sale and ex port of grain produced in that country and develop by special efforts the greatest possible amount of exports. The free access to our markets in vites and encourages this great foreign development as well as the one In South America, and all this must be at the expense of our own agricultural development. The flood of importations of foreign produrts can accomplish nothing to ward the solution of this problem, hut has the effect of discouraging our own farmers, diminishing their output, and withdrawing from them the practical and necessary indtici -nents to find and establish the proper method of distri bution. And under this discourage ment and in the leek of an effective marketing system, the vounger people will continue to leave the farms and enter the cities, there to enter into the Intense competition for employ ment and to add to the wage troubles and unemployment that are so heart breaking to the workers of the cities. Only that which helps the pro ducers can help the consumers. If we really want to reduce the cost of living, we must turn away from the destructive policy of the Demccratlc party. We must repeal the present tariff and establish one that will fairly recognize the American farmer and the American laborer. The American farmer Is entitled to especial conside ration in our tariff. His industry is the basis of our life and prosperity. He should be the last to be deprived of protection He should receive con stant and liberal encouragement, not by words alone but by the positive effect of the economic situation, to raise more and better crops, to adopt the successful methods of more In tense and more diversified farming, ■?hli ♦« machinery wherever pos hlttoV , tud , y and for fetter marketing, and to supplv his home environment with more conveni h?s faml?y. attraCt,onS tor of this sort will repav •ind enrol r an people Th e protection h2 »h« r2 r g r r m / nt nf ,hp farmer will e the real relfef and welfare of all the beTh* ® f , th ® c,t,PS - 11 "-ill in fart n«t on SHlvation of the cities and the [nation from evils of socialistic ideas ifJhLE <l S .I revo, utionary discontent f allowed to run on will (threaten the very existence of the re j Public.

The attorney contended that the old darkv, in addi tion to many physical ailments, had been weakminded when he had made the will. • The court asked the lawyer several questions about the physical troubles and mental condition of the dead man, land to all these questions the lawyer : answered briskly. 'Now," asked the court finally, did I this old man have any lucid inter nals?" "Well, as to dat. .iedge," replied the colored lawyer after a considerable pause, "de opinion seems to be dat it was mos'ly a case of ankilosed knee." —The Popular Magazine. i_L WHAT DYSPEPTICS SHOULD EAT A PHYSICIAN'S ADVICE "Indigestion and practically all forms of stomach trouble are, nine times out of ten, due to acidity: therefore stom ach sufferers should, whenever pos sible. avoid eatins food that Is acid in Its nature, or which by chemical action in the stomach develops acidity. Un fortunately. such a rule eliminates most foods which are pleasant to the taste as well as those which are rich In blood, flesh and nerve building proper ties. This is the reason why dyspep tics and stomach sufferers are usually so thin, emaciated and lacking in that vital energy which can only come from a well fed body. For the benefit of those sufferers who have been obliged to exclude from their diet all starchy, sweet oi fatty food, and are trvlng to keep up a miserable existence on gluten products. I would suggest that you should try a meal of any food»or foods which you may like. In moderate amount, taking Immedlatelv after wards a teaspoonful of bisurated mag nesia in a little hot or cold water This will neutralize any acid which may be present, or which may be formed and Instead of the usual feeling of uneasi ness and fullness, you will find that your food agrees with you perfectly Bisurated magnesia la doubtless the best food corrective and antacid known It has no direct action on the stomach but by neutralizing the acldltv of the food contents, and thus removing the source of the acid irritation which In flames the delicate stomach lining It does more than could nosslblv be done by anv drug or medicine. As a physi cian, I believe In the use of medicine whenever necessarv, but I must admit that I cannot see th» sense of dosing an inflamed and Irritated stomach with drugs Instead of netting rid of the acid —the cause of all the trouble. Get a little bisurated magnesia froi~ your druggist, eat what you want at your next meal, take some of the bisurated magnesia as directed above, and see If I'm not right.—Advertisement. SEPTEMBER 2, 1914. LETTERS TO THE 'SI EDITOR Sl' PIKRCF. MAKES REPLY To the Editor of the Telegraph: In your paper last night I notice an article on front page. titled "Train man Takes Whack at Pierce." Al ways believing you to be fair to all concerned, I am asking you to print the following In answer thereto. In the first place there isn't a word of truth in the entire statement sup posed to have emanated from Mr. Lee's office, outside of that part of his letter wherein he quotes a letter sent out by myself to the men who joined this organzation informing them of the action of the transportation em ployes. This is a true statement that was made by W. G. Lee, in the Board of Trade Hall on Sunday afternoon, No vember 30, 1913, and repeated in White's Hall by him on the same evening to the shopmen and trainmen and others who attended the said meetings. (Lee's Statement.) "We have 135,- 000 members and $3,000,000 in our treasury and we will spend every cent of it if the Pennsylvania Railroad dis charge any man for joining a union, and, while I cannot speak for my as sociate grand lodge officers, 1 am sure 11 voice their sentiments." Now, Mr. Editor, I am this date posting $25 with C. G. Shelly, and will post $25 more within thirty days, making SSO, and I hereby challenge W. G. Lee, president of the Brother jhood of Railroad Trainmen, to a joint debate in the city of Harrisburg, and if I do not prove every statement I have made in this article then he is to have my SSO. and I will make this proviso, that I will give three months' salary to any charitable institution if he will do the same, that the editor of this paper may name. And leave the decision to the men who attend the meeting who is correct in their statements and who is entitled to the money. Understand, as soon as Mr. Lee or his representatives signify their intention of accepting this chal lenge, the entire amount to be de bated for must be placed In the hands of the editor of the Telegraph. These are the subjects I will prove or lose the money: First. That Lee lied to the men about what the trainmen would do if the company discharged them for belonging to a union when he was in Harrisburg on November 30, 1913. Second. That there isn't a word of truth in his statement as published in the official organ of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen for September about me, excepting that part where he reprints a letter sent out by me to the men. Third. That Lee was only elected at the last convention of the B. of R. T. by only 27 majority, and would have been defeated if he had not ap plied strong-arm tactics. Fourth. I hereby stand ready to post another SSO that Lee will be de feated at the next convention if he allows his name to be presented to the convention. Fifth. That he is afraid to allow a convention to be called at this time, for he well knows he would be defeat ed should there be one called. Sixth. That W. G. Lee is the most unpopular labor leader in the United States. Seventh. That the article printed in September issue of the B. of R. T. journal pertaining to the reason why the trainmen and conductors are not now in a Western wage movement is not correct and Is misleading to the men. Eighth. That Mr. Lee is a mis representative of the men and a traitor to all classes of railroadmen; that he is a strikebreaker. Ninth. That he never dared to print what he knows about J. K. Turner, of Cleveland, for fear that he (Tur ner) would print what he knows about Lee, and what Lee was doing when elected as vice-president, and who fur nished the money to pay Lee's ex penses to the convention. Tenth. That Lee reinstated Robin son, Huber and Derrick because they had the goods on him. Eleventh. That Lee knows a lot about misrepresentation and nothing about veracity. Now, if I fail to make good in any statement that is contained in this challenge, I "will forfeit everything. Yours truly W. H. PIERCE.

Head of tills case:— Pleasantville, N. J. "Gentlemen:—During the winter of 1311 I contracted a severe cold, which settled on my lungs. Eckman's Altera tive was recommended to me and I commenced using it as a last resort. The first bottle seemed to give no re lief, in fact, I seemed to feel worse, but I kept on using the medicine and found out the first bottle had really started me on the road to recovery by loosen ing the mucus and making me expecto rate freely. After using the medicine for some time, my cough ceased. I gained flesh and to-day. I am a well man." (Abbreviated) (Signed) GEO. M. BATES.
