CANADA MENAGE TO OUR FARMERS Pennsylvania Grangers Vitally Concerned In the Taritf. PENROSE'S STRATEGIC POST Aa Leading Member of the All-Power-ful Financial Committee of the United States Senate, the Senior Senator Will Be An Important Fac tor In Protecting the Varied Inter ests of the Keystone State. Special Correspondence Harrisburg, Oct. 20. Attention has been directed In the discussion of the issues of the presi dential campaign to the vltnl interest the farmers of Pennsylvania, and in fact of awry s.tate In the Union, have in the continuance of the present sys tem of a protective tariff. The wonderful strides made by Can ada In the development of her agri cultural interests, and the rapidly in creasing growth of her population, have been tho subject of comment by oratois who have sought to Impress the farmers of the United Stales with the fact that they, probably more than any oilier class, are concerned In tho success of tho Republican party, which means that whatever changes shall ho made in the tariff, they shall be nude along the lines 'of protection to Ameri can interests. Thirty millions of people, many of them agriculturalists, will shortly con stitute tho population of Canada, and tho great output from the Canadian farms will come in direct competition with tho products of Pennsylvania farms, of Now York farms .aid of the farms of the other states. Unless there shall be a protcctlvo tariff, tho American farmer, who la used to the comforts and many of tho luxuries of life, will be in direct com petition with the Canadian who, while thrifty, does not have anything like the enjoyments of home life that are possessed by the farmers In the United States. Penrose's Important Position. Not only tho presidency, hut con gress, must be won to insure to tho American farmer, as well as the Amer ican manufacturer and workingman, a cantinuanco of the protective tariff. In Pennsylvania there is a legisla ture to elect, which in January next will name a successor to United States Senator Boles Penrose. Senator Penrose occupies an im portant position in the United States senate. He 1b tho first Pcnnsylvanian in many years who has been appointed on the powerful committee on finance. Neither Quay nor Cameron was on this committee. Penrose was given a position on It Immediately after his last re-election, and he Is now one of tho senior mem bers of the body. It is not improb able that before long he will be filling the .chairmanship of this committee. Aldrlch, the present chairman, is talk ing about retiring from the senate. The second ranking member, Burrows, of Michigan, may encounter difficulties in being re-elected on account of tho peculiar political conditions in the stato. The third member, Piatt, of New York, will not bo a candidate for re election, so that Penrose, who comes next, will bo moved up to tho head of tho committee in accordance with ' precedent in the senate, where senior ity is always considered in the ranking of members of committees. With Penrose in such a splendid strategic role, he will be In a position to guard Pennsylvania's Interests, her granger, her industrial, her raining and her other lnerosts, which have enjoyed protection. All tariff legislation must come bo fore the finance committee, and the final settlement of all disputed sched ules is referred to a committee on conference, three members of tho sen ate and three of the house, and it Is fair to assume Senator Penrose will bo one of these conferees, If not the chair man of the senate sub-committee. The Importance of electing Republi can members of the legislature will appeal to every one, as well as the urgency of sending Republicans to tho lower house of congress, where the Democrats hope to make gains, princi pally In the west. Pennsylvania farmers will be inter ested In an address recently made by John H. Landls, of Lancaster county In which he emphasized tho menace Which Canada's industrial develop ment must hold over American;, farm ing and dairy interests, as long as; thtre shall be any danger or a revision' cf the tariff undor which the farmers of the United States have become bo prosperous. Timely Talk to Farmers. In this speech, Mr. Landls, among other things, said: "In the Democratic national plat form adopted at Denver we And no In timation even for 'Incidental' protec tion, but a sweeping declaration for such reduction! In tho various sched ules as 'to restore the tariff to a reve nue basil.' This, of course, means the 'revenue basis' of the last Democratic tariff law; tho Wilson law of 1194, jwhlch was not only d destroyer cf In Juitry, a nightmare to capital and an inemy to labor, but a most humiliating lailuro even as a producer of reve nue. "Tho Republican party has upheld ind defended tho Industrial policy of protection slnco Its birth, more than half a century ago, because It favored Iho fostering and encouraging of en- , lerprlses and Industries through which 1 profitable employment would bo given to American labor. "This magnificent system of a pro tective tariff has been made as nearly perfect as we find It today, through a i varied experience of more than a cen tury. Tho enactors of every protective ' tariff law placed upon the statute books of the United States, from the tariff of 1789, during tho administra tion of George Washington, to tho DIngley tariff of 1897, during tho ad ministration of William McICinley, wero rewarded by having periods of prosperity enjoyed by all tho people, following their legislative labors. "If we, as a nation, aro to be healthy and strong, our peoplo must be well fed, well clothed, well housed and be enabled to enjoy at least tho comforts of life. If our citizenship, the source of all political power In a free repub lic like ours, Is to bo pure and unim paired by unhealthful conditions as It should bo, tho heads of families mint have an opportunity to earn enough nbove the actual expenses of living to enable them to educato their children and to properly prepare them for the duties of American citizenship. i Peril In Canadian Situation. "Comparatively few of our people I are acquainted with tho agricultural , situation ns It exists today. They do not know of the vast region of country lying to the northwest of us, which is most favorably adapted to the growth of American cereals not only, but to tho successful growing of fruit, dairy and orchard products as well. ! "The vast provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Co- i lumbla have a sufficiently largo area of rich and fertile soil to feed the world if need be. It reaches over 800 miles to tho northwest of Winnipeg, mid contains over 200,000,000 of acres. Tho soil has a depth of from eighteen Inches to two feet of black loam of marvelous fertility, which will grow bountiful crops for at least twenty, possibly thirty years, without tho ex penditure of a dollar for fertilizers. "This vast region of territory is fa vored not only by its natural richness In fertility, but by a most delightful climate. Within its limit will some day be grown over 5,000,000,000 bush els of wheat and other cereals. "Tho prevailing Impression abroad Is that tho further north you go, tho colder and moro severe a climate you must contend with. This Is a mistake. You can go 500 miles northwest of Winnipeg and see a country whose climate, soil and natural productive ness will produce most of tho farm products grown in Pennsylvania. This may seem startling, but an examina tion into the facts as they are will find this statement correct. It is true that spring seeding in this region can not be completed before May, and therefore the shortness of the season would seem to operate unfavorably toward the growing and maturing of the crop, but such Is not the fact. The one factor which operates strongly In favor of the growing of cereals and other crops Is the length of the days. Gain a Day a Week. "In tho United States we have only about sixteen hours of daylight dur ing the summer, while tho region ol which I speak has about nineteen hours. Eight hours of darkness has much more of a check upon tho growth of plant life than flvo hours. There is a gain of about a day of sunshine in their favor every week during the summer months. "Railroads are being extended Into all sections of this region. The compe tition among theso, which is practi cally guaranteed under existing laws in the Dominion of Canada, will in all likelihood secure and continue rea sonable transportation rates. "Grain elevators and warehouses are springing up all over western Canada. According to a list furnished quite recently by tho Manitoba grain Inspec tors division, Manitoba has 685 eleva tors and twenty warehouses, with a capacity of over 21,000,000 bushels. Saskatchewan has 608 elevators and eight warehouses, with a capacity of nearly 15,000,000 bushels. Alberta has 109 elevators and six warehouses, with a capacity of nearly 4,000,000 bushols, and British Columbia has three ele vators and two warehouses, with a capacity of about 276,000 bushels. Thus It is shown that these four young Canadian provinces alone have eleva tors and warehouses already with a capacity of about 40,000,000 bushels. To these could be added the Ontario Terminals elevators, with a capacity of nearly 20,000,000 bushels. Immense Crop Reports. "According to the report of tho de partment of agrlculturo of Manitoba, the 48,000 farmers of that province raised about 40,000,000 bushels of wheat last year; over 42,000,000 bush ela of oats; nearly 17,000,000 bushels of barley, and 428,000 bushels of flax, ryo and peas. A total grain crop of almost 100,000,000 bushels In a very unfavorable year. The spring was ex tremely cold and consequently unu Bually late. "To this can bo added over 6,000,000 bushels of potatoes; nearly 120,000 tons of timothy and other cultivated grasses; 4,800,000 pounds of butter and other dairy products (these dairy products were marketed at $1,217,000), and poultry, which Included 440,000 chickens, 73,000 turkeys and 40,000 geese. These Industries will In all likelihood show a very rapid growth this year because the season has been Quite favorable and a very large yield cn bo expected; A yield of 160,000,000 bushels of grain in Manitoba this year should surprlso no one. "Over 100,000 new homo-seekers come Into western Canada oach year, snd with this rato of growth among the tillers of the soil In these four prov inces, It Is roadlly seen what serious competitors of ours they will soon bo. Protection the Only Hope. , "Wlillo we should entertain and cul tivate tho most neighborly and friendly relations possible with our Canadian neighbors, we should most strenuously Insist upon preserving our own mar kets for the farmers of our country. It is the best market In tho world and It Is ours, and the r.trous arm of American law should continue to hold It for us. "When once the time comes thnt tho rarmers of the United States will Jio unable to produce all our people can consume, a reduction of duties upon agricultural products may be consid ered, but until then there should be an Inciease of duties rather than a re duction. "Even under existing duties 5414, 000,000 worth of agricultural lmport3 came into this country last year, snmo of which we should produce ourselves. Of these many millions worth wore Im ported from Canada, a considerable portion of which wero competitive agricultural products. If under exist ing law tho Canadian farmer sells $:i0, 000,000 worth ot farm products in tho markets of the United States., what an invasion of cheap farm products grown on the cheap land of woste-n Canada could we expect if thi' DIngley duties were reduced? "Open up the Hood gales and let the free farm products of Canada In nnd you will witness an nRrlrultiir.il pir.i lysis such as this generation of farm ers has not yet oxpei U-'icod." Mr. Taft nt Ynlc. Mr. Taft was seventeen yearn old when he entered Ynlo and had Just passed his majority when he was graduated with the class of '78. Nu merically '7S was the largest class In tho history of the institution, with ono or two exceptions. Of Its 1S5 mem bers 120 graduated. There are now ninety-six of tho graduate members living. "While Mr. Taft dominated tho class physically," writes the class historian, "his, even nt that time, was a dominating mentality ns well." Scholnstlc nnd social honors came to him unstintedly. He was n member of Delta Kappa, Phi Thota rsl, I.ino nla, Skull and Bones nnd Phi Beta Kappa. In his freshman year ho was president of tho class boat club nnd a member of the Delta ICappa campaign committee nnd of tho freshman class supper committee. With Roger Foster ho tied for second place in the fresh man scholarship, divided the first mathematical prize with John I. Mc Donald and won two first sophomore composition prizes. In tho fall games, senior year, ho pulled with the win ning tug of war team. Ho prepared n philosophical oration at the junior ex position and at commencement Ho was tho salutatorian nnd also the ora tor of his class. "My Maryland" is not n Bryan cam paign song this year. Denatured Soil. Tho expert of tho agricultural depart ment, Dr. "Wiley, has boon demonstrat ing how to turn farm waste into wood alcohol. The product obtained is not denatured alcohol, although It la used for tho same purpose that Is, for fuel nnd In certain manufacturing arts. It is a species of wood alcohol, nnd there is talk of utilizing melons as well ns corn and potatoes for Its production. If tho small farmer finds n good mar ket for his small potatoes and Imper fect corn and melons at the still, one of tho evils of farming which Impov erish tho soil may bo Increased by this new Industry that is, tho removal for sale of what grows on the farm in stead of feeding It to stock and re turning it to the land. Possibly tho refuse of the still may be returned to the farmer for fertilizing. But some of tho Important chemical elements will be lacking. With the profits of the crops also some of the commercial fertilizers may bo bought; but, however It goes, nature's system of returning vegetable products direct to tho soil will bo ovaded, perhaps to 4he detri ment of tho soil. Darned Nonsense. When a druggist Is In lovo It elves mo conniptions To think that tho law allows Him to All prescriptions.
