THERE is a duty of fifty-five per cent
IN all the tin plate or tin plate ware i'm
ported into the United States.-Boise
Democrat.
And as result OF that duty there are
over thirty large establishments in the
United States manufacturing tin plate,
whereas, under free trade, there would
not have been one.-Protection Paper.
Who knows that there are any
tin plate factories in operation in
this country? The same assertion
was made and disproven during the
Ohio campaign last fall. Again the
same papers declare the Mckinley
law has not advanced the price of
tin plate; this being so what advan-
tage does the manufactures OF the
article enjoy that he would not en-,
10y under condition of free trade?
Does protection protect without ad-
vancing prices? If so, how? Il
prices Of tin plate were high enough
without Mckinley protection to
Justify its manufacture without any
increase in price, why could not tin
plate be produced in this country
as we'll without the law as with III
Is it not clear from your own argu-
ments and admissions that the law
is useless, except to enable manu-.
tacturers to advance prices and op.
press consumers as soon as they are
nrenared to control the manufac.
ture of the plate? We await q reply

Jesse Bradford, at one time sheriff
of Boise county, was stricken by pa

John Allen, who shot Ackirman
at Boise last week, has been jailed,

Sixty-five million people in the

for a moment of the absurdity and

Statements are being published

that three million laborers are
wanted at Chicago for the World q

ployes, as a matter of course, and
they should be hunted down and
punished.
The free coinage men have ma.

In q New and Better Light.

The following from the Salt Lake
Tribune presents Alturas county's
Indebtedness in a much more favor
able light than heretofore; for if
the debt was unlawfully contracted
it is not collectable. and holders
will have to await the county's abil-
ity to pay, if they get it at all:
In the case of the bondho!ders vs.. Al
turas, Logan and Elmore counties,
brought to recover some $50, 900 accrued
interest on the Alturas county bonds, and
petinoning the court for more equitable
adjustment of the Indebtedness over these
companies, it is learned that the Logan
and Elmore companies, whose interests
are identical, have united forces and
jointly employed s. B. Kingsbury Of
Hxiley, and r. z. johnson Of Boise City,
to defend their interests throughout the
litigation, which may hang in court for
years, from the fact that Alturas county
has continually refused to co operate with
Logan and Elmore counties in the appOr-
tionment of the debt as provided by the
existing laws. The latter two are virtu-
ally uXuAIuk AitUI ~ tuAOuXu "uOoS ASA~
sal the case originates. They will seek
to invalidate $4,000 Of those bonds,
which, it is alleged, represented the in
debteduess contracted 10y Alturas county
from July 80, 1886, to January %, 1887,
contrary to law.
The news of the discovery created quite
a sensation to day, and the points from
which this conclusion is reached are as
follows, viz Congress passed law July
30, 1855, legaliz,ng all existing debts at
| that time, of Territorial counties; that
the same could he bonded, and prohibited
such counties from running the debt be-
yond per cent of the cash assessment.
Subsequently, the Idaho Territorial Leg
islature passed law on January Is, 1887,
authorizing al! the counties to bond all
their existing debts. Alturas county s
indebtedness at the time of the passage
of the Congressional law considerably
exceeded 4 per cent, and, while this same
act legalized the entire amount, 1t also
nullities the subsequent contraction and
bonded by virtue of the Legislative act
which is inconsistent with the net Of
! Congress.

Good citizens, it is charged, are ar

followed by acts Of indignity and
cruelty towards prisoners. Doors
are torn from their hinges and
houses entered at the dead hour OF
