A pIseKAcEFuL CONVENTION.

Tho county convention held by the
Democrats In this city on last Saturday
was without doubt the most disgraceful
sad d,sorderiy political gathering that
ever assembled in this city. The scenes
which occurred In the hall during its
progress were Of such nature that even
the most hidebonnd Democrats must
blush for them.

Hsvemeyer law and Canadian Lumber.
Puget Sound Lunbcrukn.
The iumbermen of the United States
viii not read with much pleasure the re-
cent issue OF the Canada Lambermaa. Our
Canadian contem porary has interviewed
several heavy lumber firms in its territory,
and the results are interesting from .
Canadian standpoint. In its preface the
Lwmberman says that it has already sin
tlmated that free lumber would likely lead
10 the establishment Of sawmills and box
factories along our north shore by United
States owners Of Canadian limits" AL
ready our contemporary mentions the
names OF three American firms who are
ready to commence operations in Canada.
and predicts a sagmiII boom in q short
time. In fact nearly all OF the Can
adam firms interviewed are of the same
opinion. The fact that American brains
and American Drawn will go to Canada TO
saw lumter 10 the greatest possible injury
that may ensue from putting lumber on
the free list. 1t takes the capital and
wages of the saw mill industry from the
United States and benefits Canada solely.
The money spent in converting logs into
lumber Is put into circulation in Canada,
while at the same time IL Is doubtful If the
consumer. the farmer, will obtain lumber
any cheaper. 1t is simply a case where O
better profit is obtained by the mill man,
because we do not believe prices will go
much lower than they are now. Cheaper
stumpage. cheaper transportation facili-
ties and cheaper labor are matters
that give Canada the advantage, and in .
pinch the mill men on the other side of the
line can undersell the Yankee. But We
do not believe that the influx of American
mill men into Canada Will be heavy for
awhile. The fact that the tariff may be
changed the next year or the year after by
change in the political complexion of
congress will undoubtedly deter many
capitalists from constructing sawm mills and
woodworking plants in Canada. There
fore the worst evil will be STAYED of for
awhile. If not forever.
On the Pacific coast British Columbia
mill men will undoubtedly try to get into
the California market, but to what extent
cannot now be figured out 1t is certain
that no new mills will be started or ex-
tensive additions made to existing plants
in British Columbia until the tariff propo-
sition is finally settled. However, our
British cousins have the advantage of
cheaper vessels and cheaper stumpage, and
may cut considerable figure in the trade
should they 60 after 1t. So far as shingles
are concerned British Columbia cannot
compete with Washington mill men. In
this state bolts are purchased from farm
ers at nominal cost; In British Columbia
the mill men depend entirely upon loggers
Hence what is made up in wages is lost in
raw material.

/ Scotch View OF the Havemeyer Law.

oSSN>AAeos
On Scottish tweeds. hosiery. blankets
nj light dress goods duties of from 40 to
Sd per cent according to quality. are to be
imposed; on carpets the average duty is IS
per cent. aud on apparel As per cent.
These are. generally speaking, nearly half
the duties chargeable under the Mckinley
tariff; but the house of representatives be-
gan with the good intention Of reducing
the tariff on WOODEN manufactures to about
one-third OF that now in operation. The
essential cruelty of the law, even rs
amended. towards the poorer inhabitants
Of American cities, whose clothing Is thus
made unnecessarily expensive, needs no
comment. Scottish wooden manufacturers
will probably reap an appreciaoie benefit
in the concessions that have been made,
and it is reasonable 10 hope that there viii
soon be less machinery unem ployed in our
industrial centres than there unfortunately

sksgit aad San Juan.


San Juan county Republicans will come
to the Joint senatorial convention asking
that one of their favorites be given the
joint senatorship. At 6rst thought and
to the newer recruits to.the Republican
party in Skagit county. it may seem that
San Juan will be asking too much. When
1t is considered. however, that Skagit
county has monopolized this office and
that four years ago, when Senator Edens
was nominated and elected, the San Juan
ties were practically given to understand
that their turn would come this year, il
must be admitted that the claim carries
with it an essence of business, and that 1t
il one which Skagit county must respect.
Political honor seems 10 demand 1t.

Coming to Their Senses.

The gold worshipers of New York are beginning to see things in the light of reason. The New York Mercury says:
 "The subserviency of New York to the gold monopolists has infu- riated the people of the western states against not only the metrop- oils, but the east generally. Every business man who returns from the silver producing states speaks of it's damaging results, and only speedy return to bimetallism will afford a remedy. Even then, so great is the rancor, it will take some time to destory it, But the time has come when retreat from the gold policy of England is absolutely necessary. There are indications that the European war on silver is decreas- ing, and if it continues our country will be left in the condition of man who has vainly followed an ignis fatuus. Our people are now thoroughly disgusted with congress.
 Called in extra session last Aug ust, the Sherman silver bill, the re- peal of which was thought to be a financial panacea, was wiped off the statute book, and the regular session so far has been frittered away by an effort to pass a tariff bill which is 20 covered with amendments by the senate as to make the original scarcely perceptible. It pleases nobody but certain beneiciaries and trusts who do not care for the interests of the people. President Cleveland ought either to ask congress to retire, and save further injury and disgrace to the democra- tic party. or pass a law which will restore bimetalIism, which the plat forms of both parties in 1892 in dorsed. There will then be return of good times.
The St. Johns herald., 1894-06-28

The Associated Press dispatches of Saturday last state that a bill
 had passed the senate fixing the
 price of desert lands aI $1.25 per &e-e, and authorized the refunding Of al payments made in excess of that price, If such bill becomes Q law it will return at least $50, 900 to this territory alone. This will em- brace all classess of entries, origi- nal and final, made within the boundaries of the Texas and Paci- fic forfeited railroad grant, prior to March 3,1889. Ifsuch act becomes Q law it will prove a blessing to hundreds of Arizonans in these hard times. As the bill originated in the senate it has yet to stand the fire of the house and the dispo- sition of the president before it can be safely landed on the statute books of the country.-Arizona Citizen.

A rumor was in circulation yes terday that could be traced to TO authentic source that Doc Goodin and Charlie Meadows had met. in San Francisco and that Charlie had twice sbot his former partner. It is known that Goodin and Mea- dows are now on decidedly bad terms, but beyond that there app pears to be foundation for the re- port.-Arizona Gazette.

Among others industries in San Francisco, California, is the sale, principally to Chinamen, of Mex ican dollars, freshly coined, at fifty two cents each. The dollars. are good in China. It is a transaction in which, ultimately, the country loses forty-eight cents. The con- ditions that make such trade prof. table or possible are in opposition to our country's interests. In this general loss lies largely the reason for existing depression. Upon the correct solution of the problem de- pends largely the return of healthy financial condition.-Silver Belt.
