A little Blackfoot boy asked his
father the other morning TO give him
nickle, but his father being busy
waved him off with his hand saying
Jim financially busted"
The little fellow had not met with
those big words in his speller, and as
he noticed his father did not wish to
be interrupted he concluded he was
working up some gigantic scheme for
office or political promotion, and so he
went away with rather a glad heart.
All the morning at school, he long
cd for recess that he might boast TO his
schoolmates of his fathers good for
tune Finally when the bell rang the
little innocent seized his hat and ran
TO the play grounds accosting the first
boy he met with the challenge:
"I'ii bet nickie my fathers some
thing yours aint" and before his chum
could accept the wager he exclaimed,
my fathers financially busted; I'll
bet yours aint

his shadow never grow less.) has rails
ed the issue, and the only one of the
coming struggle, viz: "Shall The tariff
be Reduced" The thinking men of
both parties are divided on the ques-
tion, and it is therefore right vouch-
safed to the masses to hear full and
free discussion of the effect of the
proposed measure in order that they
may vote and support that side in
politics, which, after hearing all the
arguments on both sides, shall nearest
meet their views of right / would
therefore suggest that the very best
men of our Territory be encouraged
to publicly express their views on this
live issue of the day.
To this end, l hereby challenge any
protectionist TO meet me on this issue
at any place in Bingham county, Po-
catello preferred. with this reserva-
ton: He to be a resident of Idaho;

and half hour to close. myself to con-
sumo the same time in my answer, or,
| will agree to open the debate in one
hour and a half, he to close in the
same time | do this not because of
any idea that am the best exponent
of tariff reform in the county, but
with a belief that the first debate
would bring about others, and the best
of both sides would eventually be
brought out l may in this way learn
either the truth or fallacy of my ideas,
and the audiences be benefited equal

westernism, bring out the best we
