A HOPEFUL SIGN.

There is a great deal more in the organ
ization OF the Consolidated Taxpayers
Association, OF Chehalis county, than
simply the reduction OF expenses and the
reforming OF unjust and extravagant
laws. Ever since the beginning Of the
''Boom" period, everything in this section
OF the country has been carried on in an ex-
travagant and wasteful manner; useless
expenses have been INDUCED in without
regard to cost, both in public and private
affairs; no account was taken OF the value
of money, or that there ever would be a
payday, until the time arrived when
there was much to pay and but little to
pay with.
For about year the people have sat in
q sort Of dumb stupor, scarcely knowing
which way to turn, but the organization
of this association shows that the spell is
broken, and that the people have deter
mined to again begin the work Of build
ing up this country, with its wonderful
resources, ard that, too, upon solid and
conservative foundation that from now
on that which is done shall be done in
the interest Of the people, and that econ
omy shall rule in the administration OF
affairs.
We are glad that action has been TAX
en-, and while we cannot approve all that
was done and said at the meeting last
week, we feel confident that by wise and
thorough work OF the permanent orgapi-
zaton, great good will be done for Che
halls county. We de not believe in at
lacking any one person, or trying to fix
the blame ON any one class Of men, but
that Mr.. Fry stated pretty wholesome
truth when he suggested that "Let him
that is without sin cast the first stone,''
was applicable. Nothing will be gained
by passionate appeal to prejudice, so let
calm, dispassionate, thorough work be
done, and the results will be all that the
most sanguine could reasonably. expect.
There is work for this organization to
DO, and if we'll done, and we believe it
will be, it will give this county such an
impetus toward prosperity as nothing else
can dc. Let county affairs be conducted
on the same conservative basis as that OF
an individual, and there will flow into
our midst steady stream of capital and
energy to utilize our resources and develop
our country. Let economy be the watch
word.

up. they have at last been forced into
strike. 1t is doubtful if it will avail them
ANYTHING, the odds against them are too
great, but it serves as an illustration Of
the workings OF the great protection hum
bug. OF course it's all owing to the
Wilson bill, but the following extract
from the wcavers' complaint indicates Il
different version. They say
Since many years the silk ribbon
weavers OF the United States have found
themselves in very deplorabe condition,
inasmuch as their wages have been con-
stantlv reduced. They nave scarcely
been able to meet the demands OF their
families, and as the crisis OF last Septem-
Der also had its subsequent disastrous eff
feet tine weavers were unable to stand the
strain any longer, 50 good many were
forced to the degradation OF accepting
public charity.
Under all these conditions it is to be
noted that the silk ribbon industry,
through the tariff OF 80 per cent, is the
most protected OF all others. Now, in
order to improve upon our miserable ex-
istence and to be able to earn a respect
able living, and shake off the shackles OF
starvation, we have formulated price
list which we have submitted to all the
manufacturers OF New York who, without
exception, have refused to recognize it.
"The weavers were therefor forced to
strike in a body, and most emphatically
resolved, as matter Of principle, rather
to starve in the streets than in the mills"
Just SO long as our lawmakers will be
influenced by interested and prejudiced
or INSCRIPTIONS monopolists, just SO long
will these conditions prevail, and not I'M
til the illusion of protection is completely
exploded will there be any lessening Of
these more frequently occurring crises.
