WHEN it is said that England is a free

WHEN it is said that England is a free
trade country, the statement should be
taken understandingly. The aristocracy
of England, who WELD the political pow
er, are for free trade, and are backed by
rich business people engaged in export
ing goods. The ~workingmen of England
are opposed to free trade, which they
blame for the system of low wages from
which they are now suffering. The
"fair trade" which they are advocating
at their meetings is not free trade by any
means, but the direct opposite, which is
protection. We wish the workingmen
of the United States could be made thor
oughly acquainted with the labor ques-
ton as it exists in England. They would
not long thereafter support a party that
favors free trade in this country. Did
the workingmen of England have IL
their hands the political power which
the industrial classes of America WELD,
the free trade business would be laid out
cold in a short time.

FREE LUM Der.

One of the great blessings which the
Mills bill is to bring about, if We may
believe its advocates, is cheap building
materials and other kinds of lumber.
But according to the testimony of
a government official-a Democrat of
long standing-who has just returned
from a visit to Canada, the lumber mo-
nopoly Of that country is making diff
ferent arrangements" This gentleman,
SC a Washington correspondent says,
was engaged On Tuesday in showing
members of both of the houses who had
taken an interest in the free-lumber
clause of the Mills bill the effect which
that measure had upon the Canadian
market. He explained that timber
lands We're not to be obtained outright
in Canada, but that a limited right to
fell timber could be purchased, accom-
panied by a ground rent. These privil-
eyes to cut timber are called 'hmits."
Having made this explanation he fol-
lowed it up by this official statement
from the Ottawa Journal of recent date
at is understood that Messrs. r.
& Co. have offered to sell their Magnis.
sippi limits on the Upper Ottawa to the
h. b. Eddy Manufacturing Co. tor 1925.
600. The limit were purchased by the
Hurdman Co. from A. & w. White
three years ago for about $3.50, 900, and
are considered some of the best timber
lands on the river. The Eddy company
has the refusal of the limits at the above
figure for SIX weeks"
1t is observed that the folks oveI
there have a better opinion of the
strength of the free traders in the Dem,
ocratic party than the facts warrant
They allow six weeks" for the passage
of the Mills bill, but everybody knows
that document has passed in ii
checks" long ago. But if 1t had passeC

gentleman show that Mills and hi
friends who think Il free lumber clause il

only effect would be to enable the Cana
dian monopolists who hold the ''limits'
on the timber-bearing districts to put III
their prices, as has already been don,
in anticipation.

A BIG CORRUPTION FUND--WILL
1T WIN?

The Democrats will undoubtedly have
the largest corruption fund in the COM
ing anvass ever used for electoral pur-
poses in this or any other country.
First, Cleveland has set the example Of
sending the committee one-ffth Of a
years salary for election purposes, and
this precedent is the law for the Office
holders under the Mugwump civil SER
vice reform rules and regulations. Sec
ond, the individual subscriptions bv the
large and will be made larger. Third,
there is no joke about it this time that
the free-trade attitude of the Democrats
has brought substantial sympathy from
England. Fourth, there are ne neces-
sary election expenses in the South that
amount to anything, and the peril In
which the Democratic party is placed
will draw large sums from that section.
Last, but not least, there are forty mil
lions of dollars more than usual depos-
tied in the National banks-and the
word goes round that the banks must be
MIXED n per cent. on he sums they
hold for Cleveland campaign purposes.
The amount of it is, the Democratic
party will be in possession of an unpre-
cedented supply of money, and use it
without scruple, and probably upon a
system well considered. Indiana will
no doubt be subjected to the full fury of
the assault by the money power. 1t is
known that a special struggle is being
made for Nevada, and that means that
if the Democrats cannot carry another
Blaine state, and can pick Nevada, and
can hold New York and New Jersey,
they can win if the Republicans carry
Indiana and Connecticut.
But will this game of the Democracy
to win by playing big sums of doodle"
succeed? The best informed Republic
ans in the East think not.
Western New York is in a state of Re-
publican enthusiasm hat has had few
examples, and there are confident and
intelligent reports of large gains in ev-
cry county. The question whether Hill
shall or shall not be nominated by the
Democracy for governor is one that is
tearing the insides of the Democratic
party, and the Republicans are in doubt
whether it would be the better for them
to have Hill nominated or rejected. In
either case it is believed the state can
not be carried for Cleveland.
The Democratic managers made a
grand mistake in putting up Thurman to
speak in New Jersey after his failure in
New York city. The Republicans of
New York think New Jersey the most
doubtful of northern states, and there
could not have been anything better ar
ranged under the circumstances to carry
it for Harrison and Morton than the ap-
pearance Of Thurman.
Maine gives an increased Republican
majority corresponding to that of Ore
gon and of Vermont, and the Republic
cans hold that an irresistible drift has
been established, and that the success
of the Republican national ticket be-
comes next to a certainty. One of the
! encouraging features of the Vermontand

Maine elections is the decline of the
third-party Prohibition vote this year
to one-fourth of It's former dimensions.
This shows the strong rally of the Re.
publicans, and that the Prohibs are com.
ing 10 their senses about turning the
country over to the Democratic party
for the sake of the cause of temperance.
That most pre%posterous form of fraud il
about played out.
In fact, the indications are that the
Republicans are aroused this year and
success is in the air. The big corrup'
ton fund NAV do its worst, but the faith
of the Republicans is that Il solid North
will arise to rebuke the fraud sought tC
be perpetrated and that the morning o

PIPEsToNE, Mimi, Sept. 13.-By the
heroism Of a young lady named Hattie
Wheeler, what would have been a disas-
ter was averted. Miss Wheeler had built
o fire in the cook stove for the purpose of
getting supper, when by some means a
large package Of gunpowder caught fire.
The powder was wrapped in three or
four papers and the outside one was all
afrs when the young lady picked the
package up and threw it out doors. The
powder exploded with terrific force and
the young lady was seriously burned
about the face and rms. There was
powder enough in the bundle to have
blown the house to atoms had 1t been
within its walls when 1t exploded.

WINDMILLS OR WELLS lAPERA.
lively NECESSARY.

Henry Best, an old settler of Sol
dicr, was in town to-day. He said
that the crops were looking well, so
far, but that they would not be as
good as they seemed to promise to
be owing to the scarcity of water.
A few years ago the water-supply
was abundant; but the prairie has
since become so thickly settled that
the running water is soon exhausted.
1t is evident that the GYMNASTICS
will have to either sink artesian
wells or use windmills. The former
would be preferable; but they are SO
expensive that, for the present at
least, it will be best for the settlers
to buy windmiIls. An $50 or 500
mill. properly operated, will suffice
to irrigate field Of 40 acres. -Four
such would therefore answer for q
l6D-acre tract.
j. X. I.ovelacc, of Glcnn's Ferry,
will supply all the information de
sired on this point.
