Trouble Brewing.

Advices from Spokane state that
the Ceur d'Alene mining region is
again troubled. The towns of
Wardner, Burke and Mullan are
filed with rumors and warnings
strangely like those which preceded
the terrible struggle OF twenty
months ago. The Italian miners
are the cause of the dissension.
All winter the old union miners
have been cycling them jealously.
Now, if reports be true the edict
has gone forth that they must be
driven forth from the Ceur d 'Alenes.
A gentleman who arrived from
Mullan yesterday brought the FIRST
news of the threatened conflict.
"There is still strong proportion
of union miners in the Cnur
d'Alenes," he said. practically
all the leaders of two years ago are
still in the country. They are
armed too. You may remember
that two years ago the militia failed
to find the guns and ammunition

over. The most Of the miners now
employed are Italians. The mine
owners have been warned repeated.

The Question of the Hour.

Inc following from the OIIvcE
State, whose editor cannot be &C.
cused of free trade leanings, and
left the republican party, as did
four-fifths of the republicans of
Humboldt county, because of its
anti-silver attitude, says the Ne
vada State Journal, explains why
wool has dropped in price, as has
almost every other product, and it
is commended to all who desire to
be enlightened on the subject:
ut is the financial or money
question that has deprecated the
price of wool, and not the prospect
of q revision of the tariff. The
present Congress and present Pres
ident of the United States came into
power on the 4th of March, 1893.
They were pledged to a reduction
of the tariff, and it was we'll known
Immediately after election that an
attempt would be made to place
wool on the free list, as every dem.
ocratic paper in the large cities
claimed it would be done. Then
why did it not Immediately drop?
In the early part Of May, 1898, wool
sold on the depot platform here and
at Golconda for a better price than
it brought in the year 1892 under
the administration of President
Harrison and the republican party.
But before the first of June, 1893,
it started down the toboggan slide
and within a few short weeks has
dropped S cents per pound. Why?
Because the money panic came on
during the latter part Of May and
every line of business enterprise
became paralyzed. If high tariff
will give US better prices for our
products we are in favor of placing
it up to the highest notch, but we
do not believe that the trouble is in
the tariff question at all. The con-
traction of the currency is where
the disease is and the patient will
get no better until an antidote Of
more money is applied, then the
different manufacturing plants will
at once revive and prosperity will
again be ours. For instance, sup
pose the Wilson bill should be de-
feated in the Senate, and it has
some show of being. are there any
so pig headed to think for one mo-
ment that it will make better times
or raise the price of wool? 1t might
possibly cause it to auctuate for
awhile, as it did the price of silver
after the passage of the Sherman
law, but wool will never reach the
old prices with any stability until
the money question is settled and
settled right.
"As Senator Jones says, money.
and not the tariff, is the question
of the hour"
