samples of goods to he found inside

can mistake. In the window on
Church st. is seen Shoes, neatly ar
ranged and attractively handsome.

are merely small slice off the
many handsome goods to be found
inside. The quality of everything
we keep is the very best for the
money asked. 1t is our pleasure to

"Have you seen the DRESS
GOODS shown at The Peoples
Store?" is heard all over town.
They are indeed popular and still

special sales of old goods, for we
never have any-we keep good
qualities at low prices, and off they
go in gift.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 14.--Presi-

nominations to the senate Monday was
due wholly to the fact that the commit

ident does not intend to make any more
nominations till the committees are in
the hands of the democrats, as he docs
not want a republican chairman to re-
port democratic nominations.
1t is the intention of the caucus COM
mittees to report both the ma jority and
minority committees to the general
caucuses tomorrow so that the make
up of the committees may be ratified
and reported to the open Senate and
after formal adoption become record
on Wednesday, when lot of nomina'
tions are expected to be sent in.
The senate Monday discussed fol
nearly an hour Mr.. Manderson's resolu'
ton proposing to limit its action tc

Of the house, but did not succeed in

leaving the question to go over till

manufactures of iron and steel, rolling
stock, the ownership of wharves, ware

wonders of Annexation.

This is already the greatest country
the sun ever shone upon. But what
Wilt be when Claus Spreckles annexes
Hawaii to us; when Goodwin Smith has
pulled down the commercial and politi-
cal barriers between us and Canada,
and when the American syndicate now
in control of San Domingo's finances
have hitched that miserable bankrupt
island onto our then united kingdom?
What great blessings will flow from
the possession of these islands and
countries and the increased commerce
due to unrestricted trade with them?
For if all are part of this United
States the benefits of free trade will be
undisputcl. The most rock-rlbbed pro-
fessor in the Mckinley school of eco
Monies does not advocate protective
tariff walls between our states, and
certainly there are more natural rea'
sons for such wall between New York
and Virginia than between New York
and Canada-that is, of course, If Cam
ada were also part Of this country.
Now, two tariff walls are necessary
between each of these countries to keep
them mutually prosperous. But let a
few politicians and rich speculators
put one name over all and like magic
everything is reversed; trade will then
be wholesome and enrich each and all
of the before separate nations 1t will
then be perfectly proper for merchant
or manufacturer in New York to sell
farmer in Canada and take his prod"
uce in exchange. A wonderful world
this, with its common sense ways OF
solving perplexing questions!

LAMBS AT SCHOOL.
Now, Who Wiil Fight the Wool Protection
Iattles?

NUWt Vho W 'ho s'c"f
Tattles?
1t is generally supposed that coming
events cast shadow in advance. 1T SO
the wool growers of this country have
reason to be thankful that they voted
for Cleveland and free wool.
Under high protection prices OF wools
have been declining for thirty years.
They were the lowest ever known on
last election day, November $, when
the sheep raisers cut loose from their
old allies and advisors, the political
wool growers, and wisely determined
to try the opposite policy.
For two months prices remained sta
tionary. On January 5, 1898, when
prices were beginning to stiffen little,
Ohio X was quoted at 26 to 26B cents;
Ohio X and above at n TO 2S; Michigan
Y at 2j to 251@; Ohio delaine at 81 to 32;
Ohio No combing at "a to 30 Since
then prices have been getting firmer
and prospects brighter. On January
2G, the American Wool and Cotton Re-
porter said in its Boston report:
"Since the nth the market has
evinced even more activity than during
the Immediately preceding week; per-
haps Australian has led. Nearly all
new woods that have arrived have been
sold, and the bulk of the old. Fleeces
have manifest ted undiminished strength
since last writing; stocks are very small
and the demand for them has been ex-
ceptionally active. Holders of Xxx Ohio
will hear of nothing less than soc; one
cannot buy No. combing under Sic; OF
fine Ohio delaine nothing can be OBJ
tanned for less than 33c.
Southern wool is largely cleaned
out, Georgia steady and firm at market
qotatons. Texas and California woods
are in fair request, the former indeed
in very good demand
"The advance in feeces has had the
effect to harden territories and brace
them up
Good woods are especially firm, and
the trade will be, doubtless, wise
enough to hold the market at the pres
ent prices.
SIN brief it may be said of the market
during the week under review, that it
is very strong, that wool of all kinds is
in good, firm position"
And yet Judge Lawrence, the chief OF
political wool growers and the pilot
who has almost wrecked the wool
growing industry of this country while
steering it straight against the jagged
rocks of high protection, says that ii
, free wool comes he believes in "waging
war of political determination against
those who would exterminate our
sheen Who will firht his battles2
