As a Matter of Fact, Bvery Consumer In Also In Some Sense a Producer and Is Thus a Sharer In All the Benefits of the Protective Policy. Here are three short paragraphs from the Free Trade Almanac: "The consumer Is the forgotten man. "Free trade gives Justice to the con sumer and opens wide the door of op portunity to everybody. "Protection enriches the producer and dispenses special privileges to a favored few." Who forgets the consumer? Does the farmer who Is marketing all ho can produce at profitable prices? Does the manufacturer who cannot fill his avalanche of orders or get his goods transported quickly enough by tho overtaxed railroads? Does the mer chant who Is doing the largest busi ness in his history? Why, the con sumer is in the mind of all, for without his demands all production and trade would be profitless. But who is the consumer? Every producer and those dependent on him. The $5 a day now enjoyed by so many serves for the five members of the family, all consumers, who buy just five times as much as when the in come earner got $1 a day. It is the consumer, then, who brings the pros perity, for we must first have demand, then production and then consumption. The man who has employment or a promise of employment and good wages can order a suit of clothes or a house. Then comes the construction, with its demand for materials, and then come the acceptance and payment. The consumer is the basis of all prog ress and prosperity. It is his prospects and demands that impel the wheels of industry, and the endless chain brings to him a greater share of the activity of which he Is a singlo element. And Just as long as demand exceeds supply and surplus earnings accumulate in financial institutions so long is the consumer benefited regardless of the relative degree of wages and prices, for the income must be greater than the outgo. That is the acme of justice to the consumer, a condition which never ex ists under free trade. What Justice or opportunity has the consumer when driven to the soup house? What Jus tice or opportunity has the consumer when drawing out his savings from the bank? What justice or opportu nity has the consumer when he must go home, after fruitless search for work, and hear the sobs of hungry children? Bah, what rot it is, In the light of the experience of the past ten years, to Bay that "free trade gives Justice to the consumer and opens wide the door of opportunity to everybody!" How the prosperous masses of today, as they look back to that awful free trade pe riod of 1893 and 1897, laugh with scorn at such assertions. And now for the third paragraph above: Protection does Indeed enrich the producer, and every producer being not only a consumer, but the represent ative in a buying capacity of other con sumers, the greater his enrichment the greater the consumption, to still fur ther enrich the producer and so on till free trade clogs the wheel and snaps the chain. And who are the few to whom protection dispenses special priv ileges? Can it be the 30,000,000 farm ers, whose crops and live stock were worth $4,000,000,000 more the past five years than the preceding five years? Can it bo the manufacturers, whose product is now worth $15,000,000,000 annually as against less than half that six years ago? t Can it be the railroads, taxed to their utmost in every part of the land and whose employees are reaping the bene fit of moro than 50 per cent increase In earnings over 1890? Can it be the mer chants, whose stores are so crowded with customers as to require more room, more help and more stock? Can it be the musons and carpenters and painters and plumbers, all enjoying their short hours and $3 to $5 dally wages? Can it be the lawyers, the doc tors, the clergy, the teachers, all with r increased incomes? Can it be the busy mechanic or even the so called day la borer? They are all busy, and their wages and incomes are greater per day, per month and per year than ever before. Who are this "favored few" to whom protection dispenses special privileges? Is there a man, woman or child from ocean to ocean to whom protection is not dispensing its bless ings? If so, then they are the few, the very few, who because of self fault or unusual misfortune form the excep tion to the grandest conditions of in dustrial activity and consequent en joyment of life's comforts ever experi enced in the history of nations. —Amer- ican Economist. Colonel Wattenon'a Modesty. Colonel Henry Watterson sees in Grover Cleveland and In William Jen nings Bryan two stubborn obstacles to the achievement of Democratic success In 1904. He regards the one quite as mischievous and obstruetionary as the other. The real man of the hour, in the Judgment of Colonel Watterson, could scarcely be pointed out with strict propriety in his own paper.— Kansas City Star. Last year the Michigan state grange offered a handsome bookcase to each grange in the state initiating twenty or more new members during the second quarter, 150 granges winning desks and about 5,000 recruits being secured. It is announced that the next session of the national grange will be held in Rochester, N. Y., in November of this year. New York state granges will send large delegations, and Pennsyl vania and Michigan will have large representations. What is a grange? An excellent defi nition follows: "A lodge or local branch of the Order of the Patrons of Hus bandry, an order designed to promote the interests of farmers and to bring the producer and the consumer nearer together."
