THE people of Lewiston, realizing
the advantage of railroad connection
with Spokane Falls, have made Il
public spirited offer of IA su ubsidy to
any line that will build an extension
in time to carry the crop of 1890.
Every encouragement should be
extended by the citizens of Spokane
Falls. Such n connection would
open up additional territory to the
merchants here, and add fresh
prestige to this city.

THE DUTY ON TIN.

The duty on tin in the new tariff bill
is one Of those most strongly objected
to by the opponents of the measure, and
yet it is consistent feature of the pro-
tecuive policy as now administered by
the parties in control The ore is to be
taxed cents a pound, or about 25 per
cent. in order to help out mining syndi-
Gates that are exceedingly timid about
parading their productions. In the Black
Hills case it has been claimed, and not
disputed by those intimate with the
facts, that the ore can be put on the
market for very much less than it can
be imported for. Still, the duty is
called for, either to swell the large
profits or to establish the principle of
protection. 1t is presumed that the
people are eager to tax them
selves generously for either of these
objects. TIE Malays and Chinese
work for very meager wages at
the Straits, of Malacca, also the min
ers in Cornwall; but the duty will not
add to the wages of the miners in this
country. Tin has always been free in
this country, except during the war pc
riod, when everything was taxed. If
there are more tin mines discovered in
this country still higher duty will be
needed. Has not the farmer protecti on
on his wheat against the pauper stuff
grown by the seven-cents-a-day fellows
in india? Can he, then, object to paying
a tax to protect the mine owners from
the competition of the poorly paid
delivers in oid-world tin mines? The
question as to the need of the duty to
promote the home industry is ruled out
by the admission that the richness of
the mines and the conditions for operat-
ing them allow the production of the ore
at less cost than it can be had abroad.

100000. These are big customers in
comparison with the Spanish
countries, which, Mr.. BLAINE says, took
last year only 81, 100000 from this coun-
try in breadstuffs and prov isions.
The Tribune insists that these
European people are forced to
buy of this country. They must
have food supplies Tor their work.
men. The assertion is but par
TALLY trne. There is a good deal of
food-producing country outside of the
United States. and it is capable of enor-
nous increase of development. Canada,
as a near instance, proposes to turn its
attention to the markets abroad as the
barriers with this country rise. 1t has
vast tillable areas. There are vari-
Gus quarters that can stimulate their
production by the aid of added capital.
Good business sense leads to the cult
yation of the customers with the largest
ability to buy. This country needs
the promotion instead of curtailing of
its traffic with the peoples of the world.

OBJECT LESSONS

The high tariff architects have been
affording the refOrmers very striking

LEY, and Republican by several thou
sand. the Democrats have nominated an
old soldier who left the Republican
party when it became the servant of
favored classes. The methods of his
canvass are somewhat novel, and it is
asserted will be wonderfully effective
when the voting is done. He does not
aim to amuse with funny stories or
bewilder with sonorous defamation.
He rather suggests the commercial
traveller or peddler. His outfit COM
Drises small folding table and bag of
samples of goods, such as are very
largely used by farmers and work
ingmen. These are spread out on
the table in front of him when he
speaks, and to each article is attached
card containing statements from we'll
known dealers in the goods giving the
cost without the tariff and with, and
the advance that will ensue under the
MCKINLEY bill. The farmers and
their wives give the articles per sonal
inspection. For instance, piece of
WOODEN goods shown cost so cents to i'm
port, the present tariff adds % cents
and the MCKINLEY raises it to SO cents.
So with great variety of articles in
common use. The lesson is palpable
and convincing. The efforts to per-
suade the farmer that there are COM
pensations for him in the system are no
longer available. He replies that Mr..
BLAINE says the new tariff opens up no
more markets for him. and he is not to
be fooled any longer.

UNTAxED WEATHER.

InlS is glorious Democratic weather.
1t is Democratic weather because it
gives fresh ZeSt to life and makes the
current of action move swiftly through
every artery Of trade and commerce.
1t is the last we will have before the
MCKINLEY bill becomes a law, so let us
make the most of it.
Yesterday was the ideal Western day.
There was beauty about it which COM
penSated for the enervating heat OF
summer, and made one feel that it is
good 70 be Oh earth. Rich tints decked
the grass and the trees; the hues of the
sunset touched spires and domes with
a new radiance; and night brought
peace and cOntentment.
The streets became crowded, an d
everywhere. 1t was. time when the
useful and the beautiful converged, and
when men and women seemed inspired
with fresh vigor for planning and work
ing.
1t is too glorious to last long.
In few days the mourners will 60
about the streets, bewailing the in
creased prices of everything. The
MCKINLEY bill will be law, and then
dry goods and all the necessaries will
soar skyward. The rich will grow
richer and the poor will grow poorer.
Clear skies and autumn tints will have
no charm for the tax-oppressed masses
who are looking forward to the rigors
of winter with the cost of living
doubled by the operation of the MCKIN-
LEY law.
And yet the five Minnesota congress-
men voted for that measure.
What have they doneo
