GOOD DOCTRINE.
Arguments Made by the Cam
paign Orators.

How the Provisions of the Mckin-
ley Bill viii Affect the Producers

A republican rally will be held at Hayes
school house tonight, right in the midst of
the third party stronghold. J. W. Ivy
will be the principal speaker. 1t is quite
likely he will take up the tariff question
and show the difference between proteo-
ton and no protection. AS a general
thing he deals with the national issues and
leaves state and county questions TO the
local orators.
The peoples party advocates have boldly
claimed four or five townships and main
tain that they are rapidly making converts
to their faith. A proportion of four popu-
lists to one republican is often asserted.
Republican campaigners who are in very
good position to know what they are talk
ing about are free to assert that all the
people want is light-political light and
plenty OF it. 1t is a campaign of educa-
ton. Speakers are expected to tell the
people something about the great ques-
tions They demand facts and figures and
respectfully request that they be permitted
to form their own conclusions.
Many votes have been made for the re-
publican ticket in ThurstOn county as a re-
suit of clear explanation Of the Mckinley
bill. 1t has been brought home in a num-
Der of instances with such force that the
! legitimate conclusions could not be eYaded.
When members of the other parties COM
prehend that protection means the deyel-
Opment of WashingtOn's natural resources,
/ and rnnqpnnnufIV af1nqfg the Dnpk ret bOnkq
of individuals, they are apt to think twice
before voting for free trade.
Campaign speakers in ThurstOn county
have been making points on the industries
of Washington and the manner in which
they are affected by the provisions of the
Mckinley law.
In the first place the hop industry will
be fostered. Mr.. Mckinley noted that
several million pounds of hops had been
| imported to the United States during the
| year just preceding the one in which the
/ tariff law went into effect. He said that
| Puget Sound could produce all the hops
needed in this country and made the duty
on hops fifteen cents.
! Owners of young prune orchards in the
neighborhood Of Olympia and elsewhere in
the state are Yitally concerned in the pro-
/ tectiVe tariff. Prior to the passage Of the
tariff law this country produced One-tenth
of the home consumption Ofprunes. Many
millions of dollars were sent out of the
| United States for something that could be
raised at home if properly encouraged and
protected.
The high import duty on horses means
that horse raising will become an industry
in Eastern Washington.
The Palouse valley is well adapted for
the production of barley, and the duty of
thirty cents per bushel on barley will tend
to develop that industry.
Beef cattle can also be raised in Wash
] inUfOn A n increase Of from thirty
to S1.50 on sheep will give Americans an
opportunity to supply the enormous home
demand for sheep and products therefrOm.
Mr.. Ivy will shortly leave for the eastern
part of the state, where he will make adj
dresses in company with Colonel VIII l..
Visscher.
vIssCHER's TONIC.
While Messrs. Ivy and Visscher were at
Shelton one night last week an incident Oc-
CURED that was not down on the program,
! yet it produced considerable merrment.
At the conclusion of the speaking Mr.. Ivy
sat down and at once litter ran through
the audience, totally unlike the usual en-
! thusiastic cheering at political meeting.
The cause Of the enjoymentsw was soon dis
covered however. On the WALL in plain
view of portion of the crowd was the
shadow profile Of Visscher, upturned,
in the act of drinking some
thing from a small bottle. Three

roared with laughter. The Washington
humorist is obliged to take medicine at
times just before making an address, and
was taking his usual ratiOns. He had un-
fortunately selected place, apparently Sc
cluded, in which a light was 50 placed that
it cast his shadow on the wall. This incl
dent was somewhat like the one in which
Artemus Ward, while delivering lecture,
was obliged to go behind the scenes to
regulate his stage "moon."
