To the Farmers of Bingham County on
Potatoes.


The Register has always advocated that
the tariff made better prices for every
Thing the farmer raised, but an example
That strikes right straight home has not
been fully demonstrated as pointedly as
fthat which has been produced during the
past week.
Several of the merchants of Idaho Falls
have been shipping potatoes to st. Louis:

freight from Idaho Falls to st. Louis
is 81 cents for 100 pounds or 40 cents per
bushel.
This made the potatoes cost 80 cents
per bushel laid down in St Louis. On
Saturday last several merchants of Idaho
Falls received word from Annur, Berry
& Smith, the firm. to whom they had
: been shipping, stating that a cargo of
lpotatoes had arrived by steamer from
yScotlanei and they could not receive any
Sspore at the price they were paying,
Under the Mckinley tariff the duty
on those potatoes from Scotland would
nave been p cents. per bushel Under the
present Democratic tariff act the duty
is 10 cents per bushel, difference OF 70
cents consequently the merchants oil

y VIII any Republican stand up and
say that this record isn't clear? Should
voters believe anything emenating from
such sources? And yet the woods are
full of Republican tricksters trying to
gull and hoodwink the people by telling
them such lies. The g. q. p. would
rather see a pestilence sweep over the
land than for prosperity to come to us,
providing that pestilence could in any
way be charged up TO the Democratic
party. Now. isn't it SO? Are they not

country TO the other, and this when
times, under Democratic rule, are ad-
justing themselves steadily in our ia
Vor? Ask the travelling man. He will
tell you he is selling more goods, and
that collections are good. Ask the mer-
chant He will tell you that sales are
improving. Ask the banker. He will
tell you that now he is lending money
on good security. Then put your eye
on the bank clearings as published, and
learn for yourself that the business of
the country is slowly, but surely TAX
ing on healthy aSpect-Repubkcan
calamity howlers notwithstanding.
BROTHER AGAINST BROTHER.
! There is no halfway business about
the fight in Idaho-it's brother against
sorother-Hon. Joseph C. Rich against
his brother Ben"
Everybody knows Joe Rich. He is
The man that defended so MANY Nor
mons when Senator Dubois was United
States marshal. Did he bring them
clear in those days? No-nor could all
the lawyers in Christendom bring them
ont Of the tolls. Why? Simply because
Fred T. Dubois was a pronounced Nor
mon-hater. and got juries that con-
victed.
Evidence in those days was inmater-
S3l--to be a Mormon before a Dubois
jury meant the doors Of the peniten-
tiary to open. They opened in every in
stance--for wasn't Il favorite and
boastful expression of Fred's, I've got
a jury that would convict Jesus Christ >
