A FREE TRADE ARGUMENT.

The following is taken from the Sai
Francisco Call, and plainly shows wha
free trade will do as to wages:
A Congressman from Michigan, who il
not described in the dispatches as luna
tic, thinks that il the United States il
not afraid of England's cannon, there is
no reason why it should be afraid of hei
workshops and factories. The mental
composition of man who would conceive
such a comparison of forces calls for
analysis in the intereste of science. The
very qualities of national character which
might make q nation feared in warlike
enterprises would not necessarily make
it feared in the peaceful industries. Pa.
thence, endurance, contentment, with
mental activity, are the qualities which
constitute the strength of nation in
peaceful pursuits. Other qualities are
brought into play il var. A nation may
excel in both wssxn>- ,peace, but superb
GRITTY in one does not imply superiority
in the other. The same argument has
been used to throw ridicule upon the
position the Pacific Coast has taken in
the matter of Chinese immigration. The
Eastern philanthropists ask US if we are
afraid Of race which We regard as our
inferior. The answer is that we are
afraid Of their industrial conditions
that we are determined not to permit the
establishment Of similar conditions among
the people of this coast. The ability to
succeed in this industrial race implies an
ability to thrive under the least favora-
BILE conditions. The Chinese can live
and maintain their ability to labor at
less cost than Americans. They have
been trained to economy through many
generations. Hard experience has made
them patient, enduring and self-denying.
We assume that it is their nature to be
SO, while in fact what we call their ma.
ture is the outcome Of their experience.
The United States is afraid Of England's
workshops and factories because the
American people are accustomed to bet.
ter conditions Of life than prevail in Eng.
land. The condition Of the laboring
class is much better in this country than
in England, and we are afraid of change
for the worse. The Michigan statesman
does not seem conscious that thsre is
to fear but death.

Snow Slides.

AS there are occasional snow slides on
the steep mountains in the Wood River
country, the following remarks may not
be altogether out Of place.
In reading OF the tearible accidents in
the various mining camps where scores
of miners have been killed or manned
for life, we should lay the blame where
it belongs-on the owners and manag-
ers of the mines. We will venture the
assertion That every so called accident
where buildings have been swept away
and lives lost could have been prevent
ed by the exercise of common prudence
and the outlay of a little money. The
| irresistible force and terrible power of
the snow slide, or mountain avalanche,
| is too we'll know to admit of any excuse
/ for mine operators to endanger tho lives
of their employees. Nothing but the
solid mountain ever resisted a snow
slide. Giant trees in their path are
broken like pipe stems. huge rocks are
torn from their frozen beds and carried
to the guleh below, All this is well
known, but in tho face of these facts
men will build light frame buildings
Immediately in the track of the terrible
avalanche.
i Though the slides are so dangerously
powerful they can be made compare
lively harmless to mines and miners
that are necessarily in their course.
HIVE an excavation made in the side o.
the mountain in which the buildings
around the mouth of the tunnel may be
placed sufficiently low to allow the snow
to pass over without obstruction. The
deeper the excavation the better
Slides will then pass over the works
with no damage more than carrying of
a few joints of stove pipe. In this way
land this seems to be the most feasiblel
can property be protected from the ever
recurring mountain avalanche.--News

SNOW SLIDES.
EFFECTS OF THE LATE STORM
HEAVY SNOWFALL CREATES
TREMENDOUS SLIDES In
EVERY DIRECTION.

ite. Is Carried Down TOuntain

Bottom.

The heaft OF the snow which fell here
Saturday night and Sunday caused
general occurrence Of slides ON the sur
rounding mountains. 1t fell during that
time to the depth of about fifteen inches,
and the snow being unusually heavy
packed as it fell, forming in great weight
upon the previous light fall. AS nat
ural consequence, itslid off in
many instances with tremen-
dous force. Two large slides occurred
on the steep mountain just across the
first bridge below Ketchum, about two
miles south, causing a great jam across
the fiat to the river, and covering the
stage road for several rods to the
depth of six or seven feet. This oc-
CURED on Sunday night about 10 o'clock.
At IL o'clock third slide occurred fifty
! yards beyond the former, with like re-
suits, and the stages of Monday were
consequently delayed from three to four
hours. ByMonday night the stage COM
psnies had the road pretty well res
tored.

Another slide occurred Just op-
/ posite the bridge throwing snow in
large quantities out upon the bridge 1t
followed close behind private cutter
coming from HALEY; in fact, threw some
snow forcibly against the same as it was
crossing the bridge. 1t had narrow
escape.
JOHNNY CAREY,
A well-known Galenaite. started out
Monday afternoon with two other gen
tlemen to now-shoe the mountain east
of town. They assembled from the south
when Mr.. Carey, being in advance,
walked around point of rocks to gain q
position. He had no sooner reached
the open hillside when he perceived 0
heavy slide coming from above. He
made quick effort to get under head
| way and escape by running before, but
, his shoes stuck and the slide overlook
him. He fell, and with feet and hea6
alternately in the air, made the descent
with the slide at rather an unpleasant
rate, lodging at the bottom under tive
3 feet of packed snow. His comrades, who
were saved by being behind, saw th,
disaster and ran to the rescue. Severa
citizens happened to witness TIL,
accident from Main street and hurried
| to the scene with shovels, but the tw,
/, snow-shoers had succeeded in exhum
Q ing Mr. Carey by digging with the hee
$ of their shoes. He was found unhlirt

If Blaine carries New York he can win
without either sNes Jersey, Indiana or
Connecticut. If nc, loses New York and
carries Indiana and either Of the other
doubtful States he will win. But Cleve~
land must carry both New York and In
diana, or New York, Connecticut and New
Jersey to win. IF he loses New York he
is gone, while Blaine can lose New York
and win. This shows why the swperhu-
man effort is being made BY both parties to
carry that State, and may account for the
concentration of Republican effort in the
other three. We do consider all three
States doubtful, and it is almost beyond the
reasonable possibilities that Louisiana will
go Republican. Neither is it impossible
that Blaine may lose two of the thirty
electors in Pennsylvania, as it is said they
will be Systematically scratched by power

tell what will happen in an election until it
