The Wa-Keeney Band boys had one
pioneer time of it in crossing the Saline,
The bridge at the Walker crossing had
been carried away by the freshet, and the
stream was too deep to ford. By dint OF
swimming and general tugging, some
sheep troughs were placed across the
deepest part of the stream, the two lines
of these forming track on which the
wagon was run across by the men. It
was several rods yet to the shore, and
they waded out, propelling the vehicle.
The team was taken to another crossing,
and gotten over in safety. As the boys
were coming back, the waters had fallen
so that the crossing was made easily.

ThOS. Carroll and the German.

An amusing colloquy occurred in
the office Of Mr.. Carroll, the lawyer, at
Tacoma, a few days ago, which illus.
trates the disposition of humanity to
judge of acts from the narrow limits
OF individual sympathy or prejudice.
A stalwart German entered the Office
OF his friend, the lawyer, on the occa-
sion noted, with the exclamation:
"Vell, dots pad about Vickersham,
don't it?"
"Yes," replied Mr.. c., ait is bad, 1

"Vat? Ish dot so? Ish Vickersham

Dodging the Issue.

ton to become citizen of the United
States could legally initiate home
stead entry.
1t is quite certain, however, that
whatever may have been the founda-
ton upon which the rumor was based,
and whatever may have been the opin-
ion of the Assistant Commissioner
upon the subject at the time Of the
publication, no such decision was pro-
mulgated, and that officer is now firm
ly of the opinion that unless u China
man can oOnclusively show that he
had declared his intention to become
citizen of the United States prior to
the amendment of the Naturalization
Laws in 1875, he can never become
qualified to make an entry of public
lands under any of the laws where
citizenship is prerequisite.
It appears that the district land
offices in one of the Territories per-
mitted three Cinnamon, who had
filed their declarations of citizenship
in 1888, to make a mineral land entry,
and the case came before the Assistant
Commissioner for consideration. His
judgment was emphatically recorded
against the legality OF such an entry,
and an order of cancellation with
privilege of appeal was made, but the
entry was cancelled outright, without
a word in the decision about the right
of appeal, on the ground that only
citizens of the United States, and those
who had legally declared their inten-
tions to become such, can make entry
for mineral lands, and that as the Re-
vised Statutes as amended by the act
OF 1875 excluded Mongolians from the
privilege of becoming citizens, the
entry was illegal and utterly void.
Very few Cinnamon have ever be-
come citizens of the United States. 1
am informed that out of the thousands
that have come here only sixteen were
ever naturalized. If this be true, and
no chance occurs in our naturalization
laws, the public domain will not be
absorbed to any great extent by China
men unless those sixteen prove un-
usually prolific in offspring.

The New York Herald says that
Minnesota is doubtful and the Democ-
racy is fighting hard in Illinois. The
Republicans have hitherto contented
themselves with the stereotyped and
comforting assurance, 1t is nonsense
to talk of Illinois going otherwise than
overwhelmingly Republican," but now
they have changed their tune and ad-
nit the possibility of what they call a
reasonably" close contest. The actiy-
ity of the Prohibitionists is, primarily
the cause of this, and secondly, the
zeal and hard work OF the revenue re-
formers.

object of high tariff is to make these
articles dear, thus decreasing the real
reward of labor.
(S Because the high tariff policy.
while taxing the wage-earner every
thing that he has to buy, gives him no
protection upon the only thing he has
to sell. We have free trade in human
labor.
Q Because wages represent the
wage-earners' share of what he himself
produces, and are high and low accord
ing as his production is large or small.
(5) Because the wages of even the
one wage-earner out of ten claimed to
be protected" are determined by gen.
eral causes rather than by the tariff.
(6) Because if high tariff raises
wages at all, its first and greatest effect
must be in the protected" industries,
whereas the rate of wages is considera-
bly, lower in these industries than in
the unprotected ones.
O Because the high rate of wages
in the United States is due to other
causes than high tariff, such as the
extent of unsettled Territory, the large
returns of agriculture, the natural re-
sources of the country, the extensive
use of improved machinery, the in
telligence and energy of the working
population, and the greater efficiency
OF their labor.
(S) Because at least nine wage-earn-
ers out of every ten in this country
are engaged in occupations not subject
to the competition of foreign importa-
tions, so that the rate of wages which
they receive cannot be in any degree
dependent on high tariff.
(g Because high tariff upon raw
materials raises the cost of manufac-
turing, restricts the market for goods,
and prevents the manufacture from
paying as high wages as he would
have to if his materials were free.
QO) Because the rate of wages in
creased faster in this country in the
low-tariff period between 1850 and
1860 than it ever has since under a
high tariff.
QD Because wages were high in the
United States compared with those
paid in other countries before it ever
had high tariff or any tariff.
Q2) Because China has enjoyed for
thousands of years the full benefits of
high tariff protection" while her wa
ges for skilled labor are 20 cents day,
and Chinese immigration in search of
higher wages has become menace to
American wage-earners.
Q3) Because there are greater DIFF
] ferences between rates ofwages paid in

different parts of this country, all sub
ject to the same high tariff, than be-
tween rates of wagesin Massachusetts,
and in England.
Q4) Because the rate of wages has
increased from so to 100 per cent. in
England since she. abandoned the
high tariff policy, and because her
wages are from 80 b 100 per cent.
higher than in the high-tariff countries
OF continental Europs.

tai for raising the pri of everything

tion for labor betweenklifferent employ

Mr.. SHEERIN, Secretary OF the DEM
ocratic State Committee of Indiana,
offers reward Of $40 line for any
thing that has ever been said by Gene
raj Harrison in any way condemning
the ballot-box stuffing, Illegal voting
and other frauds that have been COM
mitted by the Republicans. He said
lately, in an interview, Democrats are
asked to vote for him on account of
State pride and because he is great
and pure man. We deny that he is a
great man. If he were, he would not
have remained silent when these frauds
were committed. He would have risen
above partisan prejudice and would
have denounced them. His political
success has been the result of the work
of the slick crowd, and he has remained
silent whenever they gave him the
wink. There is another ofier," contin-
ued Mr.. Sheerin, "that l desire to
make. will give $15 line for every
thing ever said by General Harrison
commendatory or favorable of anything
done by the Democrats. He has abused
and antagonized them, and while in
the Senate opposed the confirmation
of Democratic appointments whenever
there was any chance to do SO, putting
many OF them to great expense. These
offers cover all that he has said in his
public speeches or expressions at any
time since the beginning Of his public
career"

Twenty Reasons Why Protection Does
NOT BEGET HIGH WAGES.

The Young Mems Democratic Club
of Boston has issued little slip con-
tanning 4" twenty reasons why it is not
true that high tariff makes high wa
ges." The slips are for distribution
among the workingmen, who are par
ticularly liable to the attempted scare
by the Republicans. Below are the
twenty tariff reasons:
O Because to say that wage-earners
as body can increase their wages by
paying high tariff taxes. which fall
mainly upon them, is to say that a
man can increase his wealth by pick
ing his own pocket.
% Because the value of wages con-
sists not in money, but in the articles
which money buys, and the express

A Single Instance.

Mr.. Harrison, in his letter of accept
ance, said he "would not stop to re
flute" the "theory as to the effect O.
ur-tariff duties" that "every million
of dollars collected for customs duties
represents many millions more which
do not reach the treasury, but are paid
by our citizens as increased cost of do.
mestic productions resulting from the
tariff laws" Mr.. Harrison was wise in
not stopping to refute what cannot be
refuted.
Take, for instance, the case of sew
ing machines, protected from foreign
competition, not only by their merits
as machines, but also by a prohibitory
duty OF % per cent. ad ralnrem. One
OF the great sewing machine compa-
MES OF this country exports its ma
chimes largely to England as we'll as
selling immense numbers at home.
We have before us the advertisements
of the company for this country and
Great Britain, the merchandise offered
in both countries being identical. Here
is the price list for the United States,
showing the prices the American
housewife, sewing girl or other worker
has to pay for her machine of this con-

When the same machines are sent
across the ocean and offered for sale in
the English market the prices are as
follows:

The exports of sewing machines for
the past six years have averaged over
$2,SOO,OOO annually. The exports
would not have continued at such an
extent if the prices obtained abroad
were not profitable. After all the ex-
penses OF ocean transport and foreign
handling are added, the machines are
sold to the English purchaser ut three
fourths the price exacted from the
home purchaser The additional 25
per cent. obtained in the home trade
is therefore clear profit on top of the
profit in the English prices. 1t is made
possible by the 40 per cent. duty which
places the home purchaser wholly in
the grasp of the manufacturer.
Here is convincing proof that the
tariff does unnecessarily enhance the
cost to the home consumer. 1t would
bother Mr.. Harrison to "refute" this.
and he is therefore wise in not stopping
to attempt it.-Er.

QO Because the manufacturer does
not raise his rate of wages when he

large profits out of the tariff can un-
doubtedly pay high wages, but he
doesn't.
