How the Protective Tariff ON Lum.
ber Works.
Mason County Seatinel.

Republican papers are eternally
howling about the advantages which
the State of Washington derives from
the tariff on lumber.
If it is an advantage to the people,
let US keep it.
If is q disadvantage, for goodness
sake let us vote it down, and keep it
down.
How does it work?
For example, let us suppose that Mr..
Mcleod concludes to increase his busi-
ness and instead Of doing a large log
ging business, as at present, he puts in
a large mill also. This would cause
him to employ great many more men.
Now the mills OF this State can not
find sale, in America, for all the lum-
Der they cut At present, and hence, are
compelled to sell great deal of it to
foreign nations. So if Mr.. Mcleod
should put in another mill. that would
increase the supply of lumber here; he
could not sell it all in the United States
and therefore he would be compelled to
seek foreign markets for his lumber.
Well, he charters a vessel, loads it
with lumber and takes it to England,
or TO any other nation. and there pro-
poses to sell it.
The dealers there say: "Yes, We
want your lumber and will give you
such price for it; but we must pay
you in goods, wares, merchandise and
products OF our countryside things
you people in America need"
To this Mr.. Mcleod replies that he
wants money; he does not want goods
| if he got the goods he would have to
sell them again.
The foreign dealer then tells him te
60 elsewhere. No nation has money
enough to import products from othel
countries, in large quantities, and pay
| in money. That would soon drain
every dollar out of any nation. Tht
only way international traffic can bt
s:iccessfully carried on, is by the ex
change of products!
Mr.. Mcleod however, determines Il
visit other nations with his vessel o

Ben Butterworth, of Ohio, made
a flying trip to New York last week
and housed himself at the Astor
House. MI. Butterworth is one OF
those Republican Congressman
who has accepted the Democratic
idea of tariff reform. He says that
unless the present Congress deals
literally with the tariff question
he will not be a candidate for re-
election. His reason is that ne
could not be reelected in a district
that is at least a thousand Repub-
lican. This is a very significant
admission from the Ohio states
man, whose Congressional district
is within the limits of Cincinnati.
Mr.. Butterworth is one of the Ohio
men who has always distrusted
Governor Foraker, and he was
only negatively for him in the late
campaign. Had he had the nerve
to oppose him it would have made
him popular in his district. But
all other matters out of the way, it
is a significant sign of the times to
find so able q Republican as Mr..
Buttsrworth demanding tariff re-
vision.

JEFFERSON Cry, Mo-. March 8.
Gov. Francis said tonight taat
while his investigation into the
affairs of the Treasury Department
was in progress it would be emil
nently improper upon his part to
guess at the result. He admitted
that he had heard many rumors,
but said he was not in a position
to respond to them now. He
thought the investigation would be
completed by tomorrow night, and
until then all transactions of the
Treasury Department would be
under his immediate supervision
Quite a number of Treasurer
Noland's friends arrived to-day
and were in consultation with him
during the afternoon. Among them
was Col. Elijah Gates, under whom

JEFFERSON CRY, Mo-, March 4.
Gov. Francis has formally sus-
pended State Treasurer holland
from office. At 5 O'Clock this after.
noon Mr.. holland entered the
Executive Department and was
notified of the Governors action.
The Treasurer walked quietly out
of the building, and thereafter had
nothing to say. kilograms were
sent by the Governor to all the de.
positories of the States funds
throughout the State, advising
them that he had taken charge oil
the Treasury and that they should
govern themselves accordingly
Immediately thereafter the ole
Capitol building was deserted 0:
its habitues, and the long agony o:
suspense was partially relieved by
the fact that news of some kline
had at least been obtained from
official sources. To the Republic
correspondent Gov. Fcancis said
"The situation is just this:
"My investigation into the affair
of the Treasury Department ha'
not been completed, but in tn,
coI1rse of the examination I hav,

Possibilities of Youth.
Rabbi ,Iosenh E~ranskanf

Originally it was a legend that
the period of mans life was limit
ed to 80 years. Man not being
satisfied with his short term OF ex-
istence prayed to God to lengthen
it, and He answered mans prayer
and took twenty years from the life
OF the mule and gave it to man.
Man still prayed for more, and God
added twenty years from the life Of
the dog. Not being satisfied, man
prayed for more,f and his prayer
was answered by twenty years from
the life of the ape being added to
his.
"This was, of course, only a
legend, but it illustrates wonder
fully the four states of mans ex-
istence. First, his youthful life of
the first thirty years full of vigor,
ambition and grand acts; then
twenty years of the slavish, british
life of the mule, then twenty more
of the faithful life of the deg, and
last the child-like, simple and
merely animal existence of the ape.
The first thirty years of life are the
greatest of all. They make up a
period in which all great things are
achieved and all good seed is sown,
If this period is allowed to go by
without having been pro6tably util-
lied, it is a loss never to be regain.

A WEEP
IOwaians Must Like DemOcr:l.
cy's Rule From the Way
They Vote Its Ticket.

Dies MONIES, Iowa, March a.
The election here to-day resulted
in a sweeping Democratic victory,
the entire ticket being elected.
Mayor Carpenter goes through with
about 400 majority and the balance
of the ticket comes close up to that
figure.
The Prohibitionists worked dilli-
gently to get out their vote and
succeeded quite we'll, while the
Democrats, confident of success,
were quite Indifferent about voting.
Otherwise the majority would
have been much larger.
A telegram from Fort Dodge
says the entire Democratic ticket
was elected there for the first time
in the history of the city. The re-
suit relegates prohibition and IA
naticism to the rear and shows
what Fort Dodge wants at the
hands of the present Legislature.
DEMOCRATS MAKE LARGE GAINS.
Ottumwa went largely Demo
cratic. The Democrats carried
four wards by large majorities,
while the Republicans carried ont
by 8 and one by II majority. Tht
ward in which Captain Hutchinson
lives went against him last fall
when he was the Republican can
didate tor Governor, and to-day hi
stood at the polls until they closee
in an effort to redeem it. The re,
turns show the Democratic major
ity of last fall of 81 is increased
now to 116.
