Plain as a Mans Nose.

Men who believe in free trade are
making laborious arguments in an ef-
fort to show why free Canadian lum-
Der would have no deleterious effect
on the lumber business of the United
States. They manipulate statistics,
quote party doctrine, and all the time
knowingly or unknOwingly are blind
to the logic of the situation.
That logic is this: Every foot Of
lumber that comes from Canada into
the markets of the United States,
takes the place of lumber that would
be sold by our manufactures had the
Canadian lumber not come here.
viii anybody dispute that?
With the import duty on lumber re
moved, more cheap lumber will come
to the markets on this side of the line
than would be the case did such lum
Der pay a duty.
viii anybody deny that?
Our saving capacity is already too
large. which means idle mills and mil
hands out Of employment; is it bes
to increase this idle mill capacity, ant
create condition which shall throw
still more men out of employ ment, by
letting in an increased amount o
Canadian lumber?
No question has ever arisen which il
simpler of solution, SO far as the inter
ests of the lumber manufacturer are
concerned, than is this one, says the
Northwest Lumberman

Following is the complete list of the
lowest bidders on the star mail routes
IN Mason County, together with the
bids and the amount now paid for the

Arcadia to Harstein Island, Chris P.

Clifton to Allyn, John A. Eberhart,
Sis, now $124
Clifton to Sidney, F. S. Smith, $780,

Elma to Summit, E. Parker, S166. 90,
now $192.
Harrison to Dewatto, E. N. Lingen-
felter, 500, now $148.

While bids are now made public no
contracts will not be let until Feby, 1,
but unless the bid should be with
drawn, or the bidders bond be found
insufficient or irregular. these bidders
will secure the contracts. In almost
every case, all over the state, the bids
offered were considerably lower than
last year, and generally secured by
profess ona1 star route mail contrac
tors, who will probably find people to

1t comes to be generally believed
now that the timber claims are more
difficult to secure, from the govern
ment than they used to be, in former
years, says the East Clallam Record,
from the fact that IA homestead could
be filed upon the land which would
have the preference right over a tim
Der claimant Recent decisions of the
Supreme court and of the land de-
partment show, however, that this is
not always the case. For example a
settler named White made proof upon
timber claim in this district in
November, 1890. He was contested
by another who filed a homestead
upon the same land claiming that ''if
the timber was cleared away" every
acre of the land could be successfully
cultivated and crops raised thereon.
The case was decided in favo, of the
timber claimant because the land was
more valuable as timber land than
anything else at the time the claim
ant made application. The question
in such cases is "what is the land
most valuable for now?" not in five or
ten years from now when the timber
is cut off and labor and money ex-
pended upon 1.-THE DEMOCRAT.

To Revive Democratic Clubs.

TACOMA, DEC. 25.-In accordance
with the recommendation OF the Exc
cutive Committee OF the National AS
ISOLATION of Democratic Clubs, ex-
pressed in a circular letter from
Washington, d. c. from the Chairman
of said Executive Committee, the
Hon. William L. Wilson, the Execu-
tive Committee of the Democratic
Society of Washington, which is a
union of all the County, City and
Precinct clubs in this state, calls at
tention to the importance of reviving
and putting in active operation, the
Democratic clubs in this State, all
preliminary to the forthcoming city,
county and state elections during the
wear 1894. In all localities where
Democratic Clubs or Societies do not
exist, the formation of such is earn
estlv recommended to the Democrats
there resident.
The recurring Sth day OF Jan uary
is day dear TO every true patroit's
heart, because on that day in the
year 1915, General Jackson (Old He
kory) afterwards the 7th President OF
the United States put to flight at New
Orleans, with but 5000 men, a British
force under Gen. Packenham 12,OOO
strong.
Therefore in accordance with the
recommendation above set forth, the
Executive Committee recommends
that all Democrats in their respective
localities unite in suitably celebrating
this memorial day, calling public
meetings to be addressed by local ora
tors, thus assisting to perpetuate the
the doctrine of true Democracy, en-
courage purity IN administration anC
fidelity to the will of the people, ano
at the same time to perfect and make
permanent their local organizations al

.mittee OF the National Association Of
Democratic Clubs.-By request.
