Cameron, Idaho, Dec. IA, 'S8.
Editor Sitter:
Every Eastern paper we get fairly
gives me the chills to read what cold
weather you are having back there.
We have had no colder weather as
yet than is common in New England
in the month of May, but very few
mornings has the ground been frozen
at all, have had some rain and the
farmers are busy ploughing, sowing,
making fence and setting out fruit
trees. Frequently there will be day
that no fire is needed only for cook
ing. With this l send small pack
age of weeds fresh from the garden
and yard, among them you will see
the pansy and dandelion. We can
dig potatoes and all vegetables as
well now as in September, although
we expect there is winter weather in
store for us. There has been no
feeding store cattle as yet.
Yours, &C.
Mrs. d. W. RoBY.

A Few LINES TO Mrs. GRUMPY.
Never lie about your neighbor, it is
entirely useless.
tits rot always best to tell the
truth, silence is sometimes better, but
if you say anything, say what you
know to be true, then you will not be
obliged to deny it to the next person
that you meet, and will save you from
a great many endorsements.
If you should wish to tell of any,
thing that you have heard just say,
81 heard so and so'' and let it go for
what it is worth.
Never say anything about anyone
unless you can think of something
good about them.
If poodle should bark and growl
at you, it isn't always best to kick
your toes off trying to loosen rock
that is frozen down to throw at him.
If you are smarter and better than
anyone else, don't say SO people will
find it out themselves and will be
more sure of it.
If You think you can write any,
thing more sensible than this don't
try it you might get fooled the same
as l have.

now.

called upon to do SO, as on the occasion
of reading my report there was q full
Board, with the D. V. C. presiding. and
one member Of the committee also
present, and the only difference between
Mr.. Taylor's repnrt and mine was that
his slapped short, while reported on
the whole question. Another reason (
could put forward against explaining is
the fact that Major Newton expressed
himself much pleased with both reports,
and said the Board ought to be thankful
for them, and although there were
eleven guardians present there was no
dissentient. However, i assure the
Board it is not my intention to shelter
myself behind question of privilege.
as some noted folks do nowadays I
think the most convenient way is to
answer the last part of the Board 8 reso-

the two he had were left, but believe
all knew well the reason. Well, heard
from inquiry that one of them had
lately been confined in the house, and
that the other had gone out to get mar
ried. I also heard that the occupation
of helpers to attend fever patients was
during the summer out in the fields il
the locality Of the hospital. | put
these questions to the Master, to know
if it WAS true, in presence of the Doctor
and nIatro1l, and his answer was,'' The
way it occurs is, the women are sent
by the nurse below at the hospital up to
the house for the food and they having TO
so round by the road without any watch
can stay as long as they like, because
the nurse below cannot tell how long
they We're delayed above, and the peo-
pie above do not know at what time
they were sent out by the nurse"
Well, sir, as to the conduct Of these
women, the Doctor said he had thought
one of them had given over her bad
habits. but found he was mistaken.
MIR. Taylor asked. ''Who was she?"
The Doctor answered "Mag Donohue."
Mr.. Tayor-"Oh! Mag would be airy
on the top of a mountain; she was al
ways airy" The report given by Mr..
Taylor also shows we (the committee)
had the fever hospital under considera-
ton, so will dismiss that portion Of
last Boards resolution for adjourn
ment. I think have also proved that
all the officers were present, and were
questioned through the Master aud
Doctor. OF course, the subject is
rather delicate one, being under the

A VOTE FOR PRE- TRADE rs a VOTE
FOR CHINESE LABOR PRODUCTS.

Remember that whoever votes for free
trade-and whoever votes for Cleveland
does that thing votes to open up the
gates of the Republic to the free importa-
tion of the products of the very Chinese
labor we are all agreed should be kept out.
When Senator Stanford asked Of what
avail is it to exclude the Chinaman and
yet admit the products of his labor? he
covered the issue of the campaign, and
emphasized a great truth that is law in
economics, and understandable by all men.
As we. said some weeks ago, let this
illustration be studied: "If we expel
Chinese to protect American labor, in
what do we profit if the Chinese may go
just over the Mexican line, set up factories
and pour their products over the border
into our market without tariff restraint :
Or of what avail is the exclusion of the
Chinaman if he may pass over geo
graphical line into foreign country and
grow fruits and ship them freely to our
markets? Or what gain have We if the
Cinnamon shut out from our communities
may return to China and manufacture IL

TO US without protective tariff interposi-

A Return to Duty.

This is always desirable, and the speedier
ii takes place the better. Doubly welcome
ii in the case of those usually industrious
little organs, the kidneys, which, when
they so on strike-so 10 speak-and drop
work, seriously imperil health in more
than one way. First and foremost, their
inaction begets their disease, which is
hydra headed including such dangerous
maladies IS Bright's disease and diabetes.
Next when inactive they fail to assist in
removing from the blood impurities that
beget rheumatism, govt and dropsy. Third,
their inaction weakens the bladder. All
this Is preventable and remediable by the
pleasant promoter Of organic action, Hos

QUININE AND THE TAR1FF.

And now the Democrats are endeavor-
ing TO show that the removal of the duty
on quinine brought it down from So and
81 TO so cents an ounce That Is not true.
The fab in price was not due to removal
of duty. The duty was 20 per eert., and
that was not enough to sustain high
price. If the article could have been sold
in Europe for so cents or even 81 an
ounce, European dealers would have paid
the low duty and undersold our dealers in
quinine. But when quinine sold for 81 an
ounce in this country it sold for So go,
So 90 and So 90 in Europe, 1t was about
as high there as here. After English and
Dutch capitalists had planted cinchona
forests in Java and India, and after they
had produced large quantities of bark,
then the price of quinine fell all over the
world. The fact that the price fell in
free-trade England at the same time that
it fell in the United States is proof that
the previous high price was not caused by
our protective tariff.
In 1879 we had four quinine factories in
the United States now we have but three,
and one of these is almost pulseless. About
half the quinine sold in America is of
foreign make, but in 1879 all sold here was
of home make or production. Now, as a
matter of fact, to the small consumer,
quinine is not cheaper, or but a trife, than
then. About one cent a grain is the price
overthe counter in the East, which amounts
to 81 so an ounce. When quinine was
50 so per ounce here it was 81 40 per
ounce in London; now that it is so cents
here it is 40 cents in London. The cheap
ening process is due to the fact that 15,-
100000 pounds of the bark from which it
is made is now yearly produced from
trees lately come into bearing. The fact is
that the abolition of duty has not
changed the difference between London
and Philadelphia prices favorably to
American producers. The American price
would have been just what it now is, fifty
cents per ounce, if the duty had been re-
tanned, and the American market would
have been supplied with American make
instead of with an imported article.
