QaeNtionN and Answer*.
First—'What constitutes the protective
t ir,HP policy of tlie United States?
r' oond.—When was the McKlnley tariff
1.-. passed?
Third. —What arguments could be made
to jirove that the United States should
nt ndon its protective pulley? J. T. M.
Cleveland.
First.—Duties levied on products of
o:' t countries which come into com
-1 tion with products of the United
Stales, the tariff being imposed with
object of making possible tlie prof
i. a bio marketing of American merchan
tii.at prices which will enable em
pl vers to pay good wages and insure
them a reasonable degree of safety
against pressure from abroad. The
snhjoct is very large. It can be treated
boiier in a book than a paragraph, but
the pith of the protective tariff policy
is simply the raising of legal barriers
against destructive foreign competi
tion high enough and strong enough
tt> make possible the development of
.V orican resources and the employ
ment of American labor under Anieri
can conditions ot living.
Second. —In 18! Mi. The bill became a
law on Oct. 1, that year.
Third.—This is the wrong place to
seek free trade arguments. The Lead
er and the News and Herald have al
ways maintained that the protective
tariff policy of tlie United States was
necessary to the prosperity, happiness
ami general welfare of the country.—
Cleveland Leader.
Candidate*! Who Advcrtlne.
The yellow kid candidate for the
[iresidency knows the value of adver
tising, and modestly avails himself of
11'' chance to keep himself before the
public to the extent of three or four
columns in his own papers every day.
lint, come to think of it, the ex-presi
der.t is not wholly a stranger to the
press notice. It is a pretty dull week
that does not see Mr. Cleveland in

The statement lias gone forth to tie
effect that Judge I'arker raises the
finest rye in New York state, and tlii
should suffice to reconcile Editor Wat
,orson to the candidacy of the greai
unspeakable. Come to think about it.
however, it may be that Uncle Hem i

Guard (be i.t'uney.
S. n tor Dolliver, in his able speech
in the senate on the tariff and the
trusts, said the Republican party in
lierited its historic faith from our fa
tb- rs and traced the line of inheritance
uts follows:
"When William McKinley died he
left it as a rich legacy to us who fol
low lin the great triumphs of his pub
lie life. It was not a discovery of his.
He got it from Abraham Lincoln, who
got it from Henry Clay, who got it
from Alexander Hamilton, who got it
from Benjamin Franklin, so that our
title is clear, our abstract perfect, with
out lien or incumbrance, running
straight back to the original sources of
American common sense."
The duty of the Republican party
now is to "guard a title that was rich
before" and bequeath It in turn to pa
triotic Americans of the future.--
Wilkesbarre Times.
• h of it—may be forwarded
112 iTtdection is assailed because oi
~ie claim that some producers dispose
of a small portion of their products—
not more than 1 per cent of our total
production and probably much less
than that—in foreign markets at prices
lower than those paid by domestic con
sumers. The idea of the Tariff Reform
club is that when production has over
taken and passed consumption produc ;
tion should be suspended and labor
forced to lay off until the surplus has
been consumed. To make the layoff
longer, let foreigners in under a low
tariff, or, better still, no tariff, and
crowd more wage earners out of work
That is tariff reform. It is not out
spoken free trade, to be sure, but it is
everlasting hatred of protection. Make
110 mistake about that. Then, too.
there are abuses in the harsh admin
istration of our customs laws which
cry out for remedial relief. Import
ers, for example, cry for relief from
the harshness which seeks to compel
honest valuations and full payment of
the duties prescribed by law.
Alfred Mosely was never more mis
taken in his life than when he decided
in his own mind that there is no war
against protection. The war is on,
and the battle is to be fought over
again. Strange, but true!
Mlnhty On Nll rtln.
Neither the Kryan-Ilearst combine
nor the Parker boom is making great
headway of late, according to political
indications, although both are still ele
ments to be considered in reckoning up
Democratic chances. Hut the uncer
tainty becoming more and more ap
parent would seem to suggest brighten
ing hopes for the dark horse. The In
timation that it may yet be Cleveland
finds an affirmative response in many
Democratic minds.—Troy Times.
Tlie Democratic Way.
In objecting to all the candidates pro
posed, without pointing out one that
would be acceptable, Colonel Bryan is
merely indulging in the characteristic
Democratic wevkness of finding fault
and offering no remedy.— Kansas City
Journal.
Bryrin*a Warlike Spirit.
If Bryan is so bitterly opposed to
war as he pretends to lie. one would
expect his feelings toward the Cleve
land men would be more peaceful and
less politically bloodthirsty than they
appear to be.—Providence News.
INFLUENCE OF THE PRESS.
The (ironKF Should and Don Ap
preciate the I'rcni.
This is a day of newspapers. Theii
iniluence is felt in the remotest part ol'
the earth. We criticise them as we
read tlieni, yet there is no power in our
land today which exercises so great an
intiuence ia molding public sentiment
as tiic press. Realizing tills fact, it
behooves the grange to meet fully half
way the offers of the secular papers to
bring to the attention of the public the
grange. They will advocate our prin
ciples because the grange is a molder of
public sentiment in all agricultural
communities. The grange should realize
and appreciate the efforts of the press
and keep in touch with these great liv
ing, breathing machines that are doing
so much for the world. Kacli lecturer
should give his local and the state agri
cultural papers such news as will
be of interest and tend to spread abroad
the principles of the grange. Brother
,1. \Y. Darrow, acting as press corre
spondent for tlie New York state
grange, lias been of immense service
to the Order in promoting greater co
operation of the press with the work
of the grange. The total circulation of
the papers using his grange matter Ls
approximately 075,000 each issue. This
includes the American Press Associa
tion service and the monthly State
Orange News Bulletin.—Fred Shepurd,
I.ecturer New York State Grange.
Some Molne and a Baniinet.
The approval of the Cornell agricul
tural liall bill by Governor Udell of
New York state was made the occa
sion for a celebration on the part of
the students of the university and the
friends of the measure. Church bells
were rung and whistles blown through
out tlie city of Ithaca, N. Y., and the
student body turned out in full to cel
ebrate the event. It is estimated that
there were people on the campus
in tlie evening watching an immense
bonfire and the display of fireworks
which followed. All departments of
the university were represented by
floats, with farming machinery and
live stock much in evidence. It was a
novel feature of the programme. A
banquet was spread in the armory at a
later hour, at which everything served
on the table was grown on or taken
from the university farm. Covers were
spread for 300 guests. Several state
grunge officers were present, and at
the close of tlie banquet the agricul
tural students presented Professor L.
11. Bailey with a loving cup.
MlehiKnn'n Information llureau.
The state grange information bureau
has been very busj since organizing in
systematizing and. arranging tlie in
formation received from tlie various
granges enrolled. There are now
granges enrolled with the bureau, and
tlie prospects are for a good many
more enrollments. The movement is
gaining in popularity and will be a
great help to farmers In selling theb
surplus products.- Michigan Patron.
The executive committee of tlie New
York state grange has decided to hold
the next state grange meeting at
Ogdensburg, N. Y., beginning Tuesday.

We commend the Lecturer's Bulletin,
issued by the New York. Michigan and
Ohio state granges, as being most help
