OO RO ORI CRORO IR ORORORS AN INQUISITIVE COUNTY ATTORNEY. Down at Blue Earth, which is the county seat of fertile Faribaula, resides a man by the name of Harry L. Bullis. Mr. Bullisis an attorney and for a long time has been county attorney. b Now, County Attorney Bullis is a republican but his ides of republican- ism seers to clash with that of President Taft as the following com- munication from Mr. Bullis will in. dicate, the Pioneer reproducing it because of the vital interest of this particular part of the country in the proposed Canadian reciprocity treaty: As a sincere seeker after truth I desire to ask a fewquestions, pertinant and impertinant, relating to the reci- procity agreement with Canada and to the general welfare of the agricul- tural community. I bhave justread J. J. Hill’s ad- dress wherein he convinced 550 invited guests of the desirability of ratifying thisagreement which I con- clude was to demonstrate to our members of congress where we, the people, stand on the proposition. The names of men who til the soil to gain a sustenance were not mem- tioned as guests. Doyou think it is possible the guests were invited with a view of their sus- ceptibility to become convinced? Are there any people who would be so unfair as that? It seems ooe of the principal purposes of this agreement is to re- duce the high cost of living (at least that is the argument in the east.) TIs that true? This is to be brought about manifestly by reducing the price of those articles which enter materially into the cost of living, that is food products: Is this true? If so; how can the - cost of food products be reduced to the consumer without reducing the selling price of the same products by the pro- ducer, especially when the natural products, wheat and live stock for instanse, retain no protective duties while mill products and dressed meats etc.. still retain a measure of protection? It is true that the protectionists of both parties have always main- Paul, 230 miles; to 3 @@@@@@@wom%w«;@@g a @ tained that protection did not en-{ bance the price of the protected article to the consumer. = If this was true why did they want it? It is -also true that the protectionists of iboth parties always claiqu that if a| per schedule to the farmer? “If so, wby should so many quit farming? Wiy, as Mr. Hill says, did only seven-tenths of our per cent of the increased population «fi Minnesota inten years become farmers? ‘Also if the extra price all. came/ back. as per schedule above where did the trusts come from? Where did they consumers, they, the farmers, gained a corresponding benefit in the (sale price of their products by reason of creating a home market therefor. Has this been the effect prior to the last year or two or isit about to become the truth? That is, are we about to cease tobecome exporters A new book telling bow the fearful Ap- pendicitis used and how you can EASILY prevent it. 1s belng read with' much interest by Bemldjl people, It isgiven awsy free by E.

Was the above claim made (as T have often heard stated) simply asa “sop to the farmers?” If so, and he in his hounesty believed it, would it be absclutely the exbibi- ition of wisdom for him to believe the utterances of the same interests,| now when claimed by them to be for his welfare? Tt is true that “if a man. cbeats you once that he is a: fool and if {he cheats you twice that you are a ——fool? Is the line between us and Canada any more an imaginary line than it has been heretofore and are the lines between us and other countries any more real than they are between us {and Canada? If so, why? Does Canada by this proposed agreement relio- {quish her export duties on logs and lumber? If not, or they raise the same | to equal our present import duties, { for how much less per thousand will we be able to buy lumber? Are farm machinery, fence wire, builders’ bardware, stoves etc., put on the United States nominally free list? Are these put on the Canadian list substantially free? Can the farmer in Canada buy these articles with- out the addition of a duty tax? Does i the proposed agreement take off the {duty on them so as to lessen the| cost to the United States farmer?| Who reaps the benefit? Will the {“Barley Bug a Boo” (so called by Mr. Hill) still be only a bugaboo! when Manitoba, Saskatchwan and !

Could you conveniently send me { the address of some trust composed of farmers, operating and engaged in the business of farming? (I want x(hexr pxcmre) Is it your opinion |lhat the “sop” (heretofore mentioned as having been handed to the farmer | for lo these many years) is about to become a real benefit on account of the natural law of supply and demand | for food products and that the aim }nf the present reciprocity agreement {is to strangle it before the farmer realizes its existence asa fact? Is there any country that can (taking into account its‘pmximity land value, etc) compete with our farmers to their detriment so successfully as Canada? Would you rather have the tariff revised downward by its friends or its enemies? Could its enemies give your immediate neigh- borhood, anywhere in the central northwest, any less than its friends are about to do? If so, how? If so, and there is no duty on them will that have an effect on the prices paid to farmers here? Horses ditto, sheep ditto? Mr. Hill quotes figures to show that the adoption of this agreement will not reduce wages for labor," wage inequality capnot exist,” said Mr. Hiil, * * * “when both labor and capital are free to move into a con- tiguous territory” Has there ever been any embargo on capital coming to this country? On labor except in case of Chinese? Does the word contiguous have any particular signi- ficance in the case? Has it not been the contention of protectionists of both partias that free trade would reduce our wages to an approximate level with wages paid in the poorer foreign countries? And that by protecting manufactures (formerly called our infant industries—how munificentally are we about to be rewarded for our paternal care.) That the producer paid more to the1 manifacturer that the manufacturer might pay more to his lahorers, that the laborer might pay more to the farmer and producer a complete circle of high prices. (Fine.) Did the program go through or was there a slight hitch somewhere in the neighborhood of the manufacturer? Was it the manufacturer who said how much extra the farmer shouldi pay? Washe able to do this by reason of the tarifi duty? . Did the laborer or the manutacturer have the say as to how much the laborer should get? If the manufacturer, was he .able to do this because there was no embargo on the im- portation of labor if not previously contracted? Did the laborer get most of the extra money? Did this {us?

Lord Dévon’s property was greatly Impoverished by the twelfth earl, who squandered nearly all his fortune and terribly embarrassed the entailed property, He was addicted to a most peculiar form .of gambling, namely, spider racing, which he played with the.last Marquis of Hastings and the eighth ‘Duke of Bedford. Each player selected n spider, which was placed.on the table, and then the latter was gently “heated from underneath. The warmth caused the insects to run, and the spider which got to the edge first won. But spiders are curious crea- ble to the members of (h= progressive republican league receatly formed in Washington? e Is “bewareiof ‘the Greeks bearing ¢ifts” an ‘old "expression: and what does it mean? Would J. J. Hill’s laurels have been any less if he had permitted his truly gredt - speech at the opening of the live stock pavil- lion to have been his last public speech? Was it'not from the data Hill’s statement “that the price of one Dreadnaught battleship would buy and equipa 40 acre demonstrative |farm in every country of the United States that Charlie Davis M. C.. got his inspiration for his agricul- tural education bill? What has be- come of that measure? Will Presi- dent Taft call an extra session if congress does not pass it? Has there been any less Dreadnaughts ordered so as to leave the necessary funds to buy the farms? Who would have been the greatest immediate benefactories if that bill had passed? Do you in the light of passed legis- lation think it will soonpass? It not, who not? If the farmers were educated by means of that bill would they know enough so that the: people who were not in immediate touch with them would accredit them with knowing anything? Well, wouldn’t that be a fine change? Is it true that “a. fool canask questions that a wise man’ cannot answer?” Are ' you the - wise: man? (N. B.

On the contrary, it has been pointed out by || Bouchard and others that farinaceous || food is peculiarly adapted to some dys- peptic patients. It is the microbes in the starch which are capable of pro- ducing irritating acids that cause the trouble. To avoid this Bouchard rec- ommends that only the crust or-toast- ed crumbs of the bread be used by dyspeptics, particularly those whose stomachs are dilated. The reason of this is explained by the fact that bak- ing temporarily, though not perma- nently, arrests the fermentation of dough. When it is again heated by the warmth of the stomach the fer- mentation is renewed. the bread is toasted brown through the fermentation is stopped perma- uently.—Family Doctor.
