inconvenience. The people that are capa-
BILE Of approaching the Holy Land want to
see to feel, to know it's plains and noun
tains and streams. They do not wish to
whiz by line of telegraph poles, or lunch
on sandwiches and boiled eggs at rail-
road eating house. They can do that any
where. man who travels and carries
all his native manners and customs with
him might as well stay at home. Most OF
all, in Palestine should he strive to see
the life of those about him, and to see the
land as it was in the days of the CHRIST.
THE people of New England are begin
ming to wake up 10 the fact that many of
their most important industries are being
crushed out by the protective taxes on
raw materials. Their shipping interests
have been destroyed by protection. Their
wooden industry is paralyzed by the tariff
on wool. And their iron manufacture is
Frustrated because of the tribute it is COM
PEELED to pay the ore and coal monopoiists
OF Pennsylvania. Senator BLAIR OF New
Hampshire, an extreme republican, IN
recent interview, says:
am earnestly in favor OF such changes in
the present tariff law as will admit free OF duty
into this section of the country iron ore and
coal from the provinces. We cannot afford TO
see the industries OF New England paralyZed
for want of cheap raw material.
Some classes in New England have
grown enormously rich out of the tariff,
but other classes, not less important, have
been nearly bankrupted by it. The anti
protection sentiment is growing rapidly
in that section, and we shall not be sur
prised if, within five years, New England
becomes practically "solid" for tariff
for revenue only" The other New En-
gland senators and representatives will
soon be forced to take the same position
that Senator BLAIR occupies.
THE leading republican paper of Mon
tana, the Butte Inter Mountain, SAYS:
Were it not for the republican tariff, copper
would be selling at or cents.
And again, speaking of the copper trust:
The arrangement is particularly fortunate for
Butte, and every miner in this camp should
understand. that but for the protective duty of 3
cents a cents) per pound the conference could
not have maintained the price OF lake at II
cents.
And once more, in reply to democratic
paper published in the territory:
At whatever price copper is quoted in this
country, the Miner may rest assured that the
price is higher than the price in Europe by at
least the amount of the tariff on the article. II
the tariff is cents, for example, and the price
cents in Europe, it viii be 10 cents in this
country. That is as plain as the sun at noon
day.
The Inter Mountain seems to be blissfully
unconscious of the fact that its fellow-pro-
tectionists in other parts of the country
are constantly assuring the people that a
tariff does not increase the price OF COM
modify, but on the contrary reduces it; in
other words that tariff is not tax. 1t
must be embarrassing to them, to say the
least, to have one OF their own organs
show them up as the Inter Mountain does,
as unreasonable liars.
