"Do you not believe it? Listen to the
proof.
Let us test it by Grant county.
THE receipts of this government for
tariff taxes, (customs) for the fiscal year,
ending June 80, 1890, were, $229, 600 ,OO0.-
90. The population of the United States
is 81, 100000. These receipts, divided by
this population, give $3.57 as the amount
of tariff taxes paid last year by each per
son of all our population. This s.. 81,
multiplied by the population of Grant
county, which is 81, ,852. gives $134, 13t.-
81, as our share of the actual tariff taxes
collected by this government last year
"Did we pay it? We are of average
wealth, and consume an average amount
with all the rest of the population of this
country, including S,0O0000 negroes
down south, poor whites and paupers in
cities, of all our foreign imports. If this
is true, we paid this amount of tariff
taxation last year, just as surely as we
paid our taxes to town and city treas
urers.
THE average wealth of each person
in Wisconsin in 1880 was $131. In
Grant county our average wealth is
greater than i'll the rest of the state.
We are older and have "A thrifty popula-
ton. The average wealth in 1880 of
each person IN Alabama was S299;
in Mississippi, $!S6: South Caro-
lima, $297; Arkansas, 1907, and in
the south general about $400.
In Massachusetts the average wealth of
each person was in 1880, $1,568; in Con-
necticut, $1.368: Rhode Island, $1,519;
New York, 81 ,499; New Jersey, 81, ,267,
and in Pennsylvania, $l.259; and in
those states, their great wealth, largely
in the hands of miIliOnaircs, doesn't pay
the largest proportion of any kind of
taxes.
" Here in Grant county, we live better
and have greater tax paying capacity
than the average of all the rest of the
population of the United States, east and
west north and south. Then we GER
tainly paid S134, ,13I64, of that 1929, 600,
10000 of tariff taxes actually collected
last year.
Upon the same basis, the several
counties of this congressional district
paid of those tariff taxes actually collect
cd last ypar as follows.

INFANT INDUSTRIES.

The altitudinous duty on French plate
glass nicely illustrates the folly of pro-
tective system that fosters an industry to
such an extent as to enable AZ per cent.
dividends to be declared annually. But
the absurdity of the thing is here exposed
no more fully than in the case of the great
iron kings of Pennsylvania who are en-
abled to amass out Of the operation of the
protected Infant" industries the enor-
nous fortunes that permit the Carnegies
to ,uxuriate in kingly style in castles amid
the highlands Of Scotland, oc-
casionally doing some Ostentatious act
of charity to better hide the robbery that
a protective tariff permits them to prac-
tice year in and year out. And 50 in many
other lines Of manufacturing that pater-
nal government affectionateIy fosters, while
classes are enriched and the masses I'M
poverisheG. In protecting plate glass
however the Mckinley crew carried their
folly 10 its EXTREMIST limits, as witness the
following from the Chicago Tribune of
Sunday
''Yer the addition ofthe 10 per cent. ad yaIorem
duty on beyeed French plate glass Is a good

thinks at ALL will very naturally ask what
all this republican noise is about3 For
nearly two years tho Bennett law has been
in force. and the Sentinel tries to calm the
fears of its opponents by assuring them
that, AS yet. not one person has beea
fined for its violation. The Sentinel does
not appear to see that this admission of It's

importance, and that Gov. Hoard's pre-

The edict of practical Punishment
which the Gar has pronounced
against the Jews In Russia will have
an important effect in this country.
A prominent New York Hebrew says
that a great majority of the banished
million will make their way as soon
as possible to America, which is the
only land to which they turn with ia
vor. Many of the immigrants will of
necessity be without means. There
will first arise the question of their
admissibllity under the law exclud-
ing all persons liable to become a
public charge. Superintendent Wsav-
er of the Immigration Burea says he
anticipates repetition in some worse
form OF the rush of Russian inmi-
grants to this country in 1882. He
believes that 60 per cent or them will
come to America.

A telegram from Washington says
the census will show that while the
rate Of increase in the Northern and
Atlantic States has been about the
same as usual, the Western States
have increased at an almost fabulous
rate. or the Southern States, Ala.
bama, Georgia and Texas will show
q marvellous increase in population.
The other Southern States will re-
main about the same. 1t is probable
the census will show that the rate Of
increase among the blacks has fallen
far behind the rate of increase Of the
whites.

SOURCES OF PLACER GOLD.

SOURCES OF PLACER GOLD.
At Virginia City, Montana, says
the Denver Mining Industry, it is
supposed that the quartz vein which
was the source of the gold found in
Alder gnlch in the early days has
been discovered That gulch has
yielded first ana last over 500, 900, 900
in placer gold. Somewhere towards
its head the gulch must have crossed
an immensely rich vein of gold bear
ing quartz. II the vein that threw
of all the millions OF gold has not
now been found, II is pretty cert. in
that 1t will one day be discovered.
The gravel washes to the eastward Of
the Sierra Nevada mountains are of
local character, therefore they may
be traced throughout their whole
course and the spot whence they de-
rived their gold pretty clearly To-
Dated. On the west side of the Sierra
Nevada range it would be hopeless
and useless task to attempt to trace
to its source tho gold found in the
channels of what are called the 'sdead
rivers" or that found in the deep hy-
draulic diggings. Then the gravel
deposits arc often hundreds of feet
in depth, and extend along the main
Sierra range for hundreds OF miles.
The beds of gravel there appear to
have been deposited by some general
overflow OF water; were probably at
one time under the ocean. What are
called the channels of ancient rivers
run north and south, the same as the
main range of mountains, and some
miners think that the source Of the
gold found in them is somewhere in
the far north-up toward tho north
pole.
In California it is of little use to
attempt to trace up gold that is found
in smoothly washed gravel. Where
the gold trough ard unwashsd) is
found among angular fragments Of
quartz and country rock in ravins
or on the slope Of 6 r cky mountain,
California quartz miners are pretty
sure to soon find the lead which was
its source. Between the Sierras and
the Rockies, where there has been
nc such universal wash as is seen on
the western base OF the Sierras, per
severing search should discover the
source of all the large deposits OF
placer gold. In the Great Basic all
gravel deposits have been formed by
local washes; by water that is flow
Jag or has flowed in the gulches and
over the plats in aud on which the
auriferous gravel is found, not by
any sea or universal dsluge. Out
side OF large rivers, therefore, as the
Colorado, the Snake lin Idaho), and
some others in which placer gold is
found, it is not an impossible task to
trace to their source deposits of placer
gold. The source in all the regions
between the Rocky mountains and
Sierra Nevada range is local, and
eventually rich veins of gold bearing
quartz will be found near where have
been mined large deposits OF placer
gold.

G. w. Hunt, the protector and con-
structor Of Hunts system of railways,
has succeeded in placing S6,00o,0oo
worth Of bonds in New York City.
This, with the 100000 subscribed
by the citizens of Portland, will en-
able him to build his road from Hunts
Junction, below Wallula, to Portland,
down the north bank of the Columbia,
as fast as men and money can do it.
This road being secured Mr.. Hunt
will now doubtless go to work on an
other scheme in which the people OF
Idaho will take deep interest. This
will be the continuation of bis system
from the Grande Rounde valley into
and through Southern Idaho to the
Yellowstone Park.
This road could tap the fertile val
leys of the Payette, Weiser, Boise
and Camas Prairie, the timber regions
of the South Boise and Smoky, the
Wood River and Lost River regions
and offer the shortest route between
the coast and Yellowstone Park; and
1T would have tremendous traffic
from the start. The States of Wash
ington, Oregon and Idaho will un-
doubtedly have population of s.
100000 within 10 years, and in an
other decade the Snake river valley
will be one of the most productive
regions in the world. Mr.. Hunts
road will therefore do large and
steadily increasing business.
