In view Of the fact that the policy Of
protection has always been loudly de-
nounced BY nine-tenths Of the Demo
Gratis, It Is amusing to hear some Of
those around town, who shouted them
selves hoarse in 1892 when It was
known that the Mckinley law would
be repealed, now cussing Senator Du-
bois and the other silver senators for
preventing the passage Of the house
tariff bill. Don't desert your pet the
DRY so soon gentlemen. It is true,
there has been q mighty decline in the
prices of sheep and wool since the tar
iR law Of ''peffidy and dishonor" was
enacted, but give 1t time, and possibly
It win yet prove itself to be blessing
20 sheep industry. You know il has
opened 1.-THE markets Of the world" to
the farmers and wool growers Of the
United States, and that is what you
wanted in 1892. To be consistent, gem
tlemen, you should tender Dubois a
vote Of thanks for refusing to assist in
the passage Of an demonstrations"
measure ElmOre Co. Republican.
Credit has wrecked more farmers
than bad farming ever has done. Who
ever heard Of farmer, who made and
adhered to the rule of invariably pay
ing cash, and In return always demand
ing the same who did not prosper.
Everyone who does business in this
way gets almost twice as much for his
money. The business man delights to
sell goods TO such person, with the
smallest margin Of profit. The cash
man always dictates prices and secures
the cream Of all bargains. It IL simply
. question whether 1t is best to pay
one dollar now, or have say seVenty.fve
cents more added TO 1t when pay day
comesin November or December. Those
who are not able to pay cash for even
every necessary had far better consider
them luxury and do without them for
season, and thus take new start
with the world and be their own mas
tiers for the debtor is but the servant Of
the creditor class. --Kendrick Gazette.

bonsvllle, Idaho, Miner, speaking of the
great Utah, mining camp, Mercur says;
We made a mistake in coming here.
1t amounts to grand fake. Out of a
population Of about 1000, 100 are idle.
There are several cyanide mills here,
and several mills to built in the spring.
/ am tired of these going to.be
camps, Their mill is similar to an old
vinegar factory, runs day times, EN-.
ploying three or four men, and at night
one man looks after the vinegar. The
mines would put you in mind of a dig
ger Indians abode.
They have no stamp mills here. Tho
ore Is run through a rock crusher only |
and Is very coarse.
In my opinion this camp is a good |
place for everyone to keep away from. |
There are fully 1000 people here now
who would leave If they had the means
to 90 on,
The whole country is laid out in town
lots, worth from $500 to S2500 each, in
the minds Of the townsite company; in
my opinion they are not worth sc. each.
70 tell the honest truth Gibtown is a
far better camp than Mercur at present.
