conditions. The Seattle land ofis was
badly managed. No democrat cdld or
would defend it, and it was paradedas an
excellent illustration of democratic rule.
Many democrats claim that this oneinfu-
ence lost the party 1000 votes. Thin,
there are large coal and lumber intetees,
and here, where wages were high ad
times active, the great mill owners, pD-
tected 3 per thousand on lumber, and te
coal mine owners had excellent oppc-
tunities for playing the "pauper labr
dodge" as they swore that if the demo-
racy was successful the mmbermen AMI
coal miners of British Columbia. tut
across the line, would force them 10 close
up their business. The time was too short
to hunt the loggers from the jungles am
expose this hypocrisy, and the coal minet
were practically closed against the defent
ers of industrial liberty.
But change has come cover tle spiit
of their dreams" for though Harrison nd
not Cleveland was elected, yet tie tath-
protected mills have entered intoa tgih-
protected combination, and wages ire low,
many persons are out OF work. theloGing
camps are silent, the mills are cloel one
day in each week, one week IA each
month, and one month in each yearghile
carpenters, masons and laborers al idle
or working at reduced wages, beause
those who want TO build homes ambush
ness houses cannot procure the lmber
for the work, and if they do, il is at prices
outrageously high for this cheap wood
country. This whole lumber country is
cursed by tarif-protected oombi1ation,
and the fools who sowed the wind are
cursing bitterly the whirlw.n(. There
has been a general dizziness and cutting
down OF wages since Harrisoni election,
and the hour is ripe for the renewal Of the
tariff discussion. Further est, two
protected interests, the smeers and
the lead miners, have each Their by
the ears. The lead miners wan a heavy
tariff on lead ore, while the smeltrs insist
on the present treasury rulingthat all
ores, the greater value of which is silver
or gold, be allowed to come in dtv free.
These blighting Inconsistencies of the
cursed protective system has plaed it in
the power of the democracy to CRY the
state If proper work is done.
If the democrats lie down and allow the
tariff beggars TO carry the four new states,
and place eight more fairfield millbnalres
in the U. S. senate, they had better dis
band. There is no hope of the BLIZZARD
swept Dakotas, for those patient sefs will
never tire of feeding their aristcratic
masters, but the live, wide-awake r9tlers
of Montana and Washington are ready 20
hear the argument and decide the lues-
ton on its merits. OF course the dino

few papers, while the monopolists lold

have able champions in the newspaper

and reason on our side will win with q
proper effort.
