BOISE DEMOCRAT: John Buckley
has already received an order from
Montana for two thousand boxes of
apples. Five or six car-loads.....
Baird, the gunsmith, owns violin
for which he has been offered 81 900
and lesser sums time and again. 1t
is one of those rare old instruments
that is really worth from $4,000 to
$4,000. 1t was presented to him by
his father who bought it at auction OF
parties who probably did not know
It's value, and with whom it had no
doubt been "spouted" by some wan
dering and stranded musician who
never redeemed it. A bow dropped
upon it by cunning hand brings
forth sounds that make mans hair
crackle: Mace Chapman says it is a
darling.

JOHN NJ. LAMB and R. W. Pur-
dunn arrived here Wednesday from
Boise City to talk telephone to the
people of the Basin. They are 60
ing at it in way that will prove a
success, beyond doubt. 1t now
looks like certainty that the Basin
will have telephone line early the
coming fall. The plan is for sub
scribers to purchase any amount OF
script, which will be taken the same
as cash at the telephone office for
messages. To make it palmer, we
will say that you subscribe 500

all used. These gentlemen made s
start yesterday, and over $500 have
already been subscribed. The tele
phone line Is to be completed from
Boise City to Qusrtzburg by the frs
of October, at the latest. The esti
mated cost is $500. If they sue

THE Orc Fino employees have

THE Orc Fino employees have
formed themselves into library as
sociation, and propose TO employ
their leisure hours more proftably
than is commonly done in mining
camps. Nearly every one connected
with the mines has joined in this
most praiseworthy movement, sub
scribing literally to the fund raised
to procure books, magazines and
newspapers. All promise to con-
tribute fifty cents month TO increase
their fund and stock of literature.
We venture to predict that the own
ers Of this great property will not be
slow in contributing to an enterprise
of this character, for the men who
thus try to improve themselves will
put brains as well as muscle into their
work. They are preparing set of
bylaws for governing the organiza-
ton and will adopt practical methods
to make the move popular and per-
manent. They are setting splen-
did example to other mining camps,
which, il followed, would wind up the
disgraceful career of many a rum mill
set up to catch miners dollars. Sue
cess to you, gentleman.-[Silver City

Jim was at the Elkhorn mine few
days ago. Hugh Turner is now max

He started in yesterday to move the

900 have been turned out by this
mill since it was put up, and Hugh
expects to make little cleanup af-
ter he moves the mill-a cleanup "on

From Our Young Horseshoe BEND
C0rrespOndeHf.

ED. Bright and early the
morning of the Fourth we started for
Emmett, which town can be seen for
at least five miles before you get
there. This would have been a pret-
ty village, with its splendid school
house, its two neat churches, one re-
al fine store and several nice dwell
ing houses, had the town been laid
out with any regularity, and shade
trees set out. If it was laid out it
must have been by cross eyed per-
son. We found quite crowd there,
dressed in their best, and every one
bent on having good time for one
day at least. Procession formed at
the hotel of Mr.. Murray, and marched
to the Methodist Church, where the
morning exercises commenced, Mrs.
East presiding at the organ, Prof.
Baker playing the cornet, Prayer by
Fl. Ray; reading of Declaration of
Independence by Prof. Baker; ora
ton oy brother Zellors. and then the
best part of the program, at least to
the youngsters. The smiling face OF
Mrs. Oakes appeared in the door, and
she said: 81 am what you call it
Marshal of the day. Form in line
and march to dinner" Youngsters
do not eat any breakfast on the morn
ing of the Fourth, saving themselves
for good dinner, they say, and the
ladies of Emmett know how to get
up good one, the table being load
ed with everything good to eat. AT
ter dinner they again entered the
church, when the exercises were con.
tinued, with music, singing and
speeches by the children, and ended
with an auction of articles made by
the Ladies' Aid Society of Emmett
for the benefit of the Methods
Church, lots of fun being created b,
one dark-eyed, rather good-lookine
young bachelor bidding on and get
ting all the baby dresses and ladies
aprons, etc. One, at least, of th'
articles sold at auction, was beauti
full. I heard the ladies say it wa
a silk crazy quilt, and sold for four
teen dollars, Mrs. Gill getting it.
also noticed that several young la
dies had stands where they were KEEP
busy all day serving out ice cream
lemonade and candy. After havini
spent pleasant day with old friend
and acquaintances, we started home

of Mr.. and Mrs. Mahan. Befor
leaving we went to see the falls W

DUBOIS AND LEAD.


Hon. Fred 7. Dubois, the Dele
gate from Idaho, has during his term
in Congress very fully developed his
capacity for the place. Indefatiga-
BILE in his efforts, he has accomplish
ed more for his own Territory than
any Of his predecessors did in like
tune He has had the appropriation
for the Boise City assay Office in
creased; he has secured an appropri-
alton of $4,000 for the Idaho peni-
tentiary; he prevented, by his admi-
rable tactics and work, the partition
of the Territory; he secured the or
der for the allotment of the Nez
Perce reservation lands, and laid the
foundation for the removal of the
Lemhi Indians to Fort Hall; he
brought about the removal OF every
Mormon postmaster in important
places, and generally has labored
faithfully for the best interests of his
Territory. In addition, however, he
has undertaken to represent the inter-
ests of Utah. In this behalf he made
a gallant fight before the Senate
Committee on Territories, against the
admission of Utah, and by his logical
and convincing speech, was largely
instrumental in bringing the Senate
rial mind to right conclusion. But
this is not all. Mr.. Dubois has borne
a manifest part in the great struggle
in the House of Representatives over
the attempt to strike down the great
interests of the country. OF all the
representative from the Territories
he alone has given expression to the
sentiment of the people of the Terri
tories. On July 7th he offered the
, following amendment to the Mills
bill:
"Strike out lines 2SS and 289, a
follows: LEAD ores and lead dross
5 .hree-quarters of l cent per pound,
r and in lieu thereof insert as follows
4 a combination of lead ore with sill
yer or gold ore shall not exempt sucl
lead ore from payment OF said duty.
In the debate that followed, Mr.
Dubois, pointing his question witt
an editorial statement Of th'
leading Democratic paper Of ldah'
that Democratic Delegate from tha
Territory would have the power I
influence the majority to retain tn
duty on lead, interrogated Mr.. Mill
as to whether it was true that the az
plication of the intent to reduce tn
surplus depended in the different lc
calities upon the political faith of tn
!, representatives in Congress. Tn
;, only answer obtained was the negs
. tiving of the amendment by vote {
. 60 to 60. This vote indicates tha

. statements relative to the mining IL
dustries had made some inpressio

Wages and Prices.

1t IS well-l1nown law of trade, asserts
the st. Paul Globe, that at least four persons
can afford to buy an article at one dollar to
one who can afford to buy it at two dollars
Nine-tenths of the families of this country
live on less than four hundred dollars a
year, yet they are the sole customers of
more than seven-eighths of American pro-
ductions and imports.
The trouble with our manufacturers is,
that Notwithstanding possible reductions,
they are above the limited means of the
great mass OF the buyers. If wages were
advanced, farmers, artisans and laborers
would get better prices and manufacturers
make as large profits as ever. AS wages
depend on the demand for workmen, it is
evident that an increase in the demand
say of twenty-five per cent.-would compel
the employment of more workmen, and so
raise wages twenty-five per cent. Under
lessened tariff restrictions all Of these con-
ditions would be fulfilled.
The increase of importations would lead
to an increased demand abroad for our
farm products. These importations would
consist largely of materials for manufact-
pre; and the reduction of twenty-five per
cent. or even of seven per cent, as the Mills
bill proposes, in the cost of materials would
enable the manufacturer TO reduce his
prices without diminishing his profits,
This would increase the sale of his goods,
and as both farmer and manufacturers
would be bidding for more labor, the price
of labor would rise; and as wages rise, the
laborer wants more goods with increased
ability 10 pay for them. In this way the in
creased demand for finished goods would IN
crease the demand for materials, and as
Europe can not supply America one-Quarter
in
tories the result would be revival in the
demand for American materials, increasing
alike the earning capacityof the farmer and
the laborer.

HOW 1T WORKS.
Some Simple Object Lessons In Tari n Re
form.

Some Simple Object Lessons In Tari n Re
Farmers who are finding out how the tar
III works, will find the following facts in
structive:
The Ames shovels, made in Massachu-
sets, are sold wholesale on the American
side of the Rio Grande river for six dollars
dozen. The same shovels, made in the
same place, are sent across the Rio Grande
and IN Mexico sold for S2.9I dozen. The
Mexican farmer can buy American shovels
cheaper than the American farmer is al
lowed by tariff taxes TO buy them.
Disston's saws, made in Philadelphia, we
believe, are sold in Mexico at discount of
twenty per cent. on the price in the United
States.
American agate ironware is sold in Mex
leo at sixty per cent discount on the list
price. The same ironware is sold in the
United States at only thIrty-five per cent.
discount.
Here is the testimony of the late Presi-
dent James a. Garfield, when a member of
Congress:
'And know, moreover, that fer nearly
two years the wholesale price of American
salt IN Toronto, Can, WAS 4 dollar lower
per barrel than the Same salt was selling
for on the New York side of the lake. That
is, we produced it, shipped it across, paying
whatever portage, freiShts and transporta-
tion were required, and then sold it to our
Canadian neighbors at dollar per barrel
less thGn it was sold to people on our
shores. Certainly, gentleI1en viii not want
duty continued that enables that thing to
be done"
That IS the manner in which this ''bleSsed'
tariff works, says tho Albany Argus. The
farmers of the country viii find il u queer
and Interesting thing to study. But, then,
Warner Miller (who gets all the lumber he
uses free If duty tax, for making wood pulp,
while every farmer has to pay tariff tax
on every board and shingle he uses) tells
the farmers:
I" Much of the grumbling of the farmers
Of to-day is uncalled for. They forget how
hard lives their fathers lived, how hard was
even their own boyhOod. if they are men Of
advanced years. If they are in debt il is u
misfortune, of course, but let them practice
economy, then which nothing tends more to
the morality and virtue of q people With
the abandonment of needless luxury and
the practice of economy aud hard work will
come better health, a better frame of mind
and longevity"
Cheer up, and the longer you live the
more taxes the Republican party will get
out of yOu,n is Miller's advice.
