THE WEISER SIGNAL.

CHANGE THIS MONOTONY.

ONAAsob LID -
The Statesman is very pronounced
hugh tariff (protection) journal, and is
continually assuming, without giving
reasons, that a reduction of the tariff
would work a great hardship to all
sections. Now, without for a moment
assuming to criticise so elevated an
authority as this, the leading journal
OF the state, we would like to ask
how are the people of Idaho benefit
ed by having to pay tax on every
thing that they purchase, from ten
penny nail to Il threshing machine
for tariff is tax, and a special one
at that solely Tor the benefit of the
manufacturing classes? A New Eng
land journal would naturally ask for
protection, as all Of the papers of that
section are owned and controlled by
these local industries, and there is a
semblance of selfish reason in their
so doing, and it seems to us that we
OF Idaho have very good and very
selfish reason for demanding that we
be allowed the privilege of getting
The most that we can for our money,

idea that we must for all time be
called upon to practice that exalted /
species of patriotism that enables the

rection and allow our considerate
fellow-citizens of the east the exalted
privilege of demonstrating their
patriotic devotion to our common
country? And so far as having any
solicitude for their future there are
some feeble indications that for a
little time past they have demon
strated an astonishing ability to take
care of themselves. Again, in n
selfish way, if IA few or more of these
factories should go to pieces in a
business way, may we not hope that
some OF the fragments would land
out here in Idaho and find new oppor-
tnnities to utilize our raw material /
and idle water powers? Protection
seems very good thing for the class
1t protects, but we are little in the
fog regarding the general benefits for
Idaho people who have to foot the
bill. Some way it reminds one of the
fable OF the boy stoning the frogs
fun for the boy, but hard on the
batrachians.

Frank Hubbard visited Boise last
week to attend the meeting of Idaho
assessors, the object of the meeting
being to arrange uniform valuation
for 1894 to apply to all counties rep
resented. After a thorough discus
sion of all phases of the different
subjects presented, it was decided to
assess stock for 1894 as follows:
Range horses $40 per head.
Range cattle-$l0 per head.
Range and stock sheep-$1. so per
head.
The assessment of graded stock
was left to the discretion of the
assessor.
The assessment fixed on sheep is a
reduction of 80 cents head COM
pared with that of 1898. The re-
duction in the assessment of horses
and cattle is also considerable. Last
year horses ranged from $12 to $40 a
head and cattle from $12 to SIG. A
resolution was adopted to the effect
that a proportionate reduction be
made in the assessment of farm lands
farm products and other property.
