R.O. Wilmot and Charles Roberts
came down Monday to arrange with j.
A. Curtis to go up and survey a new
ditch to be taken out of the North Fork
far enough up to cover The upper por.
tion Of Rogers mesa. They intend to
build a ditch that will carry sixty feet
OF water and which will bring large
number OF new ranches, as well as many
acres OF old ranches under cultivation.
This is an enterprise which should be
pushed as it will prove very valuable to
the county in developing the great North
Fork section and it is one which can be
accomplished very readily.

This table shows that in the
Western states, which cast one alf
the vote of the Union, McKi nlev
has plurality of 2s7, 500. This is
the more significant because all the
free-silver and populist states north
OF Mason and Dixon's line are in
the group, Had the issue been
left to the west Mckinley would
have had proportionately a larger
electoral vote than he really had in
the country at large 1t is also
significant that Bryan is not cred
tied with a single electoral vote in
the New England or the middle
states, and that Mckinley has the
electoral vote of three southern
states. Counting the states by
groups sections, Mckinley car
ried the new England group, the
great middle group, the great west
the border states of MARYLAND,
West Virginia and Kentucky, and
Bryan has as group only the
eleven old slave states of Alabama,
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Lou
isiana, Mississippi, North Carolina
Tennessee, Texas and Virginia, |
and has these by reduced maiori-
ties. There is no reason why Mr.. |
Bryan OF his associates should crv

The American Economist saws
we already hear great deal on
the subject OF conservative pro-
lection, the free-traders particu.
larly being SOLICITORS that the next
tariff bill of the republican party
must be conservative. What
does this mean, In or opinion
the Mckinley tariff Of 1890 was
extremely conservative of Amer
lean interests, ar more so than
any other tariff. before or since.
That is just what all friends of pro
lection require and demand. When
the Mckinley tariff became law
there was not one per cent more
protection given to any single in
dustry OF the country than was
warranted by economic conditions.
as they existed at that time, to pro-
tect American industries aud la
Dor. In many respects, economic
conditions have changed since 1900.
For instance, the wages of Amer
lean labor have been reduced. We
want them restored to the rate of
1902, not lowered to the rates of
Europe. We want to see our mills
prosperous, not bankrupt. We
want TO stimulate the industry of
the manufacturer, not the demo-
cratic industry of the sheriff. We
want To make our own goods for
our own consumption, not to buy
them abroad. We want to employ
American labor not foreign labor.
We wfnt 70 circulate wages here,
not in Europe. This is our idea of
protection that will be 'Conserva-
tive of American interests. The
republican congress can be safely |
intrusted with the duty of passing
a conservative" tariff. one that
will protect the treasury while it
protects the wage Garner Specific |
rates vt duty will tend much to do
this, but the specific rates must be
high enough Since 1890, many
new economic conditions have con
fronted us. The competition of
the Orient has to be met. India
alone employs 40 900 hands work
ing on her $50, 900 cotton spin
dies. Japan and China are also

The Vote Of the West.

The democratic managers, who
are striving to excite sectional pref
udices and whose hope of success
rests on the measure of discomfort
they arc able to toment have claim
ed that i'll the late election the East
was matched against the West,
and that had the result been left to
the west the section as a section
would have been overwhelmingly
against Mckinley.
The changes have been rung on
thi, assumption until the people of
some OF the western states have
been made to believe that they
must prepare tor another great sec
tlonal contest. They have been
told that they have been outvoted
by the east, that the east elected a
president obnoxious to the west,
and therefore the west is justified
III expressing dissatisfaction. Like
most of the claims of the democrat
&c managers or the professional pro-
motors of discomfort, this falls to
the ground when facts are consid-
cred. The nineteen states making
up the western group, counting tor
the sake of fairness, Missouri and
all of the Pacific states, cast is,
electoral votes. OF these 126 are
for Mckinley and Sc for Bryan.
So much for the electoral vote
of the Western states, taking in
the middle west, the trans Missis-
sippi west, and the Pacific coast.
But the same states are for MCkiu-
ley on the popular vote. Here are
the figures, accepting the demo-
cratic estimates in South Dakota
and Wyoming:
