PARADISE.

In Paradise, forever clear,
The stream of love is flowing;
For every tear that I've shed here
A pearl therein is glowing.
My youth, that fled so soon away,
And left me sad, decaying,
Shall there be with ME every day
With bright wings round me playing.
All hopes, all wishes, all the love
sighed for, plned for ever,
Shall bloom around me there above,
And last with me forever.

Not Dead But sleepeth.
Spokane Chronicle.


No one should suffer himself to be
deluded into voting to return a Re-
publican representative to Congress
under the belief that the force bill was
killed by Quay's resolution for its
postponement, when the trusts de-
manded the passage of the tariff bill.
Senator Vest stated in speech at St.
Louis the other day that its postpone
ment was only acquiesced in after a
written agreement signed by forty
four Republican Senators that the
bill should be taken up on the first
day of the next session, and prepared
for passage over oil other measures.
These forty-four members comprise
one-half the membership of the Sem
ate and can pass any measure when n
vote is had. The bill has already
passed Reeds house. The only GER
tain way to defeat the dangerous and
revolutionary policy of this. measure
is for the people to speak through the
ba allot-box in tones that the conspira-
tors will not dare disregard. 1t is de-
signed to put the control of the elec-
ton OF members OF Congress, and OF
presidential electors in the hands OF
the tools Of a syndicate at Washington
composed of the Quays, Reeds and
Clarksons of the Republican party,
and there can be no guarantee of
honest elections and free ballots in
the interest of such bigoted, desperate
and dishonest partisans.

NEW MARVELS OF ELECTRICITY.
Edison's Educated Dolls and the Lazy
Mans Bellamy Room.

Every little girl will soon be able to
own doll that really talks. Edison
has opened an exhibition on his latest
inventions at the Lcnox Lyceum, in
this city, and among the novel features
are ten big dolls, which stand in a row,
and when crank in their backs is
turned they utter various rhymes. One
says, "Mary had little lamb" an
other, Twinkle, twinkle, little STAR"
and so on. The voices, of course, are
highly squeaky, but the words are
plain. Another doll, in a separate
part of the house. gives forth with
great distinctness, in childish treble,
"There was little girl who had little
curl" A real perfect doll can now
wink, walk, gesticulate, smoke and
talk. The talking effect is produced
by the revolving of tiny phonograph
cylinder set inside the doll. Each doll
can speak its speeches 5000 times.
Another feature of the exhibit is a
a chamber known as the Bellamy room,
where all the comforts and luxuries of
the household are provided by electric
al apparatus. The visitor has meals
served on table which moves out of
the way by electricity. The cigar is
lit by an electric spark. Not daring
to 60 out to the theater, it being rainy,
he connects telephone with the CAST
no and hears Lillian Russell in "The
Grand Duchess" and getting tired of
that he listens to Patti in LINDA" at
the Metropolitan opera house. For in
tellectual food he turns the KEY and
hears speech by Gladstone or lee
ture by Goldwin Smith. Desiring to
retire he hears prayer by Spurgeon
or Cannon Farrar, and rolling into bed
gets we'll tucked in and presses but
ten, which puts out the lights and
locks all the doors.

JUDGE Beach, of Toledo, Ohio, has
decided that the granting of bonus
by . town, toward the establishment
of a manufacturing enterprise within
its limits, and the unconditional ac-
ceptance OF such bonus confers upon
the town a perpetual interest in the
bonused establishment. He therefore
granted a perpetul injunction to pre-
vent the removal of grist mill which
had been bonused by the town of Port
Austin.

IT has always been known that
Capt. Wiley, Of the steamer Willie,
was an accommodating man, but an

afforded his passengers from Shelton
to-day, when a lady at the Arcadia
landing signaled for him to stop, and
as the lines were cast ashore COM
placently inquired, "Have you the

1t is said that the genial commander

he pulled spiteful whistle to let go

A DAKOTA MAN ON OLYMPIA.
He Adorns HIS Tale With a Moral
From His Own Town.
fSnnkane Snokeaman

OLYMPIA, Oct, 20.-Editor Z. c.
Torrey of the Aberdeen Is. d. News is
making tour OF the last of the "big
four" admitted intot the Union. He is
well pleased with the budding North
west. In speaking of Aberdeen he
said:
1--WE thought once we would be the
capital of the united Dakota, but they
unwisely divided our Territory"
Don't you think, you were lucky
in not getting into a position where
yon would have had a capital fight?"'
AZ guess We are, if the present fight
between Huron and Pierre in South
Dakota is a sample OF what Aberdeen
would have experienced"
at is said that fight is tearing up
the whole State"
"Ies. Not only tearing up the
whole State, but it is breaking up the
boys engaged in it. Both towns seem
to think their lives depend upon get
ting the capital. Every local interest
seems to be involving in the contest"
"Is it not demoralizing business"
Demoralizing is 10 word for it. 1t
is hardly short of ruinous, but it has
got to that point now that each town
feels that it is damned if we do and
damned if we don't, and they are both
doing all they can"
"What do you think OF Olympia for
the capital?"
"The best ever saw. Apparently
there is no contest. If so, you are
happy people. Even if there was, l
can't see that it would make much
difference with Olympia. She is so
we'll situated and so near the popula-
ton OF the present and future, that !
would wager my last penny on her
winning. Your city is city, and your
site is site, which easily leads the capi-
tails OF the six new States and when your
town is a little more metropolitan,
and what you are doing is finished,
Washington will have a capital city
that will rank among the fine capitals
of the world. There is but one Puget
Sound, and Olympia's location at its
head, gives her transcendent advant-
age. This ought to be the home OF
the landscape gardener. Nature has
done everything for Olympia.

THE Seatco Lumber Company at
Bucoda, whose mill was burned last
summer, have their new building
erected, and commenced running FRI
day morning. They will work two
gangs of men, who will relieve each
other every twelve hours, after next

electric lights, and everything used in
modern milling OF lumber is to be
found therein. This is one OF the
largest plants in Thurston county.

THE law compels poor men and wo-
men to go clothed. 1t then taxes
them outrageously on the clothes it
compels them to wear. On a recent
importation of worsted cloths for
mems wear, which cost about $2,074,
the duty was $2,352; excess of duty
over cost, 1913; percentage of duty on
cost, 1854. Add to this the importers
profit, the jobber's profit and the re-
tailer's profit, and it will be seen what
the mass of the people have to pay TO
maintain and enrich few so-called
infant industries.

The whole theory of the high tariff
is this: 1t makes certain persons
prosperous by law, by giving them in
direct bonuses. The money for this is
taken from the mass OF the people.
1t enables a comparatively few men to
make money they would not otherwise
get. Whose money is it that they get
in this way? Yours and your neigh
boris.

OF Some Importance to the Farmer.
National Democr,

National Democrat.
We hope the farmers Of the country
will read all the Republican rot about
the new tariff law, and think it over.
Congress reduced the duty on bind
ing twine in order to reduce the price
to the consumer what about that story
that the tariff does not increase the cost?
Congress increased the duty on wheat
and corn and pork and other things,
for the pretended reason that it wanted
to increase the price of what the farm
er sells. What. then, becomes Of the
Republican statement that an increase
of duty does not mean an increase of
price?
The farmers are finding out pretty
fast that increased duties on manufac-
tured goods do increase prices; the
duty must be added to the foreign price
of the imported article, and the do
mestic manufacturer makes his price
as near as he can TO the price of the
foreign article duty paid.
But the farmers can see equally we'll
that as we do not import farm produce,
but raise n great surplus which we send
abroad to sell no amount of Mckinley
legislation can raise the prices of what
they have to sell. The price of the do
mestic clothing the farmer wears is the
price of clothing made in Europe with
the cost OF transportation and the Amer
lean duty added. The price of Ameri-
can wheat is the price fixed in London,
in competition with wheat raised in
India and Russia, with the cost of get
ting the wheat from Nebraska or Da-
kota to London. SO the farmer, he
pays the freight both ways, so to speak,
and the Mckinley bill which can do
nothing to increase the prices of what
he sells, is doing lot to increase the
prices OF wheat he buys.
Last year we imported cattle subject
to duty worth $550,SS7 and exported
$50, 600, 600 worth of dead meat and $16-
6l6,917 worth of beef on the hoof.
What good is the increase OF duty in
the Mckinley law going to do the
farmer?
We imported no hogs and exported
45,l2S live ones; of what use is it to in
crease the duty? We imported 49,
S51 pounds of butter and exported
15,5O4,97S pounds; we imported g.
POI ,026 pounds of varieties of cheese
not made here, and eaten only by
epicures and immigrants, and we ex-
ported S4,999,82S pounds; we import
ed 2,40l bushels of corn and exported
69,592 1929 bushels; we imported no
corn meal and exported 312,1S1 bar
rels; we imported 130,649 bushels of
wheat and 1,l56 barrels of flour, and
we exported 46,414,l2S bushels OF
wheat and 1874 ,S03 barrels of flour.
There isn't farmer in the country
who supposes that increasing our
duties on these products is going to
increase the prices.
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1890-11-07
Both ranges of prices are Illinois prices.

from AooO... ......-.......--
Both ranges of prices are Illinois prices.
Bearing in mind the fact that as
long as We have any surplus to sell
abroad, however small, that surplus
will fix the price OF the whole crop,
what do these figures teach? Evident
ly that for some reason connected
with foreign trade, the farmer has
been getting less money for more
wheat in recent years than he did
formerly. What that reason is we
need not seek far to find. The far
mer has been paying 80 per cent. ex-
ira for the goods he gets in exchange
for his surplus crops. The effect of
protective tariff is the same as though
an export tax of 80 per cent. were
levied on his product, since it makes
no particle OF difference whether the
tax is put on the property he sells or
on that which he gets in exchange.
If 80 per cent, of the cloth is cut off
from the quantity he gets for a bushel
of wheat, the effect is the same as
though 80 per cent. were deducted
from the selling price of the wheat.
This process has been going on for
many years, and now the deduction has
become, by virtue of the Mckinley
bill, considerably greater than it was
before. When the farmer comes to
die, as Mr.. Schoenhof shows, the Nc
Kinley bill clips off little more than
one-half of the material that lines his
coffin, the duty on cotton velvet
having been raised from 40 per cent.
to 103.35 per cent. Probably the Re-
publican campaign committee would
say that lining for coffins is mot
necessary expense"

wages, and the tariff having just been

be raised. They will do we'll to notice

A DISPATCH in the New York Times
tells an interesting story about the in
crease of duty on linen. The linsecd
oil business is controlled by a trust
capitalized at about six times the value
of the property. In the past three
years it has about doubled the price of
oil, and to enable it to still further in
crease the price the Mckinley tariff in
creases the duty on foreign oil from %
to 80 cents. But still the trust is not
satisfied and wants to get its seed
cheaper. The flax now raised in this
country is raised only for seed; the
fibre is unsuitable for linen. The lin
seed oil trust is alleged to have inter
ested itself in getting the duty on linen
increased in the hope that if farmers
went extensively into the raising of
flax for the fibre, the seed would be-
come mere by-product, and could be
bought at reduced prices.
