Teller On the Tariff.

Senator Teller Of Colorado was
favorably mentioned for the Presi-
dency a few years ago by Western
Republicans. He is y man whose
integrity has never been questioned
and who always stood by the people
in their conflicts with the trusts.
He was q delegate to the st. Louis
Convention and left that notorious
gathering when be found that it was
completely controlled by the money
kings and monopolists. He OPP
posed the tariff schedules, which
put grain and cotton bagging on the
dutiable list, and in q speech deliv-
cred in the Senate, July 10Th, said
"Where would you have been in this
country IT it had not been tor the agri-
cultural exports which have gone abroad
u settle the balance of tradei You
would not have had gold dollar. You
men who are frightened ut the fleeing OF
the dollar to Europe would not have had
M American gold dollar IN circulation
anywhere but tor the American txru.er,
who has furnished the great bouy Ut ex-
ports for the last fifty years; and yet
when he colues here and asks tor the
mere pittance Of relief from duty upon
bsxs. he is told that the Government -
TOO poor. that this il . revenue duty, anu
thar ,hey cannot have that relief.
II h,ve the American farmer Will un-
dersrsnd one thing, aud that is that he
gets no favors in an American tarin winch
are worthy OF his attention or his thanks.
There is not thing in this tarin Oiti that
ought to STIR the heart Ut any American
farmer with anything but indignation
and hate toward the people who thus
treat him. And yet we are told that the
committee have made y concession 10 beet
sugar. The concession was never made
to the farmer; 1t WAS never made to tile
beet raiser; 1t was made to the great trust,
and if the great trust had sxld that they
did not want NJ much tariff, tEat II wouiu
have been To their interest. ~ have Aad
none, they would NOT have had any. The
American people will not Le tOoied into
the belief that this helps the production
of beet sugar Or anything else. They
know that TINS is the meanest tariff Olii,
that it Is the most expensive and tile most
burdensome upon the American people,
that has ever been enacted, aud they VIA
know when they come to pay the Increased
duties and lind no increased benefits ut
who e door to lay the blame"
Senator Teller is not, and never
has been, free trader, says the
Nevada State Journal. He has al
ways been a Republican anu did
not sever his connection with that
party until the party sold out to
the trusts. He believes in a tariff
that will produce revenue for the
support Of the Government and
afford incidental protection to in
FAINT industries. He is opposed to
the tariff that does not bear equally
on all and that compels the farmers,
who derive no benefit from duties
on imports. to pay considerable
over one-half the whole amount de-
rived from duties. He cannot see
the justice of compelling the wheat
raiser and cotton planter, who have
TO find market abroad for the
greater part of what they produce,
to pay tariff prices for the bagging
in which they ship their wheat and
cotton to market.

fCincinnati Enquirer.
This is all aphorism expressing
in a few words sentiment which
widely prevails. As a general prop
osition we belive it is true, but we
do not think 80 poorly Of human
nature as to admit that all men are
supremeiy selfish. There are nu-
merous examples where persons
hsye lost sight Of themselves in .
supreme desire to benefit others, and
whose happiness consists in seeing
others happy, and whose ambition
is to do good to others. This train
of thought is suggested by the tor
turous course of some men who
we're supposed to be self-denying
for the good of others.
The Knights Of Labor has been
an organization welding q powerful
influence for good or i'll. Terence v.
Powderly, the Grand Master Work.
man for several years, was clothed
with despotic powers. He had but
to speak his orders to bring on a
universal strike. He had the i'm
picit confidence of all his subordi-
mates, and they were led to believe
that his whole energies were devoted
to the welfare and prosperity Of the
toi,ing millions. He we'll knew OF
the wretched and deplorable condi-
ton of the wage-earners, and was
we'll aware of the paralysis of bust
ness occasioned by the demone,iza-
ton of the workingman's money
Mr.. Sovereign, the successor o!
Mr.. Powderly. as Grand Master
Workman, and other intelligent
leaders of the Knights Of Labor
were earnest and Jealous in their
efforts to counterfeit aud defeat the
Vaccinations of the money power
They supported Bryan. Powderly
to the surprise of those who believed
in his intelligence, wisdom and hon
esty, took the stump for Mckinley
Mark Hanna and his fellow workers
in politics fully realized the value
of such a recruit, and were intent
upon his capture. 1t now appears
that Hanna promised Powderly
tina. he should have the office o
Commissioner General of Immigra
ton if he would support Mckinley
The temptation was too strong Il
be resisted. Hanna had the DISPOSE
ton of the millions of money in the
corruption fund, and the farming
out of the offices Of trust and profit
in the event of McKinley's election
1, is deeply to be regretted that
man of Powderly's ability and rep
utation for self-denying devotion tt
the interests of unrequi,ted labor
should barter all away for a ''mes'
Of pottage." Notwithstanding such
examples, which stagger ones be
lief in the existence of disinterestec
benevolence, we still think it posi-
bile. "Let him who thinketh hs
standeth take heed lest he fall.

GUESTS OF DUBOIS.
Nr. and Hra William ]. Bryan Spend
q Day at Biackfoot.

[Pocatepo Tribune, July Nth.l
About $500 people greeted Mr.. and
Mrs. William J. Bryan at Blackfoot
yesterday. The people came from
all the surrounding towns, probably
$50 going from Pocatello. They
were accompanied by the Philhar-
monte band. Hon. Chas. Hartman,
congressman from Montana, and
Hon. Edgar Wilson, ex-congress-
man from Idaho, and Gov. Steunen-
berg we're among those present.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan were the
guests of ex. Senator Fred 7. Dubois
and had expected to spend quiet
day but the enthusiasm Of the
Blackfoot people would not permit
this. A great meeting was held in
the afternoon in the court house
square and from beautifully dec
Grated platform erected for the &C.
casion Mr.. Bryan delivered an ad-
dress to the people who had gathered
there to do him honor and TO testify
their devotion to the cause of which
he is the great champion.
After the speaking, Mr.. and Mrs.
Bryan held a public reception in
the court house, and in the evening
Senator Dubois entertained them
and large number of guests at
luncheon. Most Of the day, how
ever, was spent very quietly by Mr..
and Mrs. Bryan at Senator Dubois
home, receiving short calls FROM
citizens Of the Grove City or the
numerous we'll known silver men
who had journeyed from all parts
of the state 10 meet them.
The little town OF Biackfoot GER
tainly did itself honor. 1t was
beautifully decorated with bunting
and streamers and the court house
square and platform were gay with
the national colors and bright how-
ers. Every citizen of the town WAS
active in his efforts to make the &C.
casion memorable one. Two
bands were present and contributed
much to the enjoyment of the day.
In the forenoon Mr.. and Mrs.
BRYAN and Senator Dubois took a
drive out onto the reservation and
visited the noble red man in his
home.
At the afternoon meeting Col.
Jones presided and opened the
meeting with few brief and we'll
chosen words. Senator Dubois in
troduced Mr.. Bryan, who spoke for
an hour or more. 1t was friendly
talk. clear and convincing, but FIRE.
quently touched with quiet humor.
After him Congressman Hartman
spoke briefly but earnestly, touch.
ing particularly upon the amalga,
nation of the silver forces. The
speaking was varied by some excel
lent music.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan left Black
foot this morning, passing through
Pocatello on their way to Shoshone
Falls where they will spend a couple
of days, after which they will 20
TO the National Park.

Another United States Senator is
TO be elected in South Carolina. and
it will, practically, be done by pop
ular vote. There are two candidates,
McLaurin and Isby. who will make
n joint stumping tour, traversing
80 counties, and allowing the DEM
ocratic voters to decide, at COM
ing primary, which of the two shall
be preferred. Every State could do
this, If it should choose, and thus
remove the choics of Senators from
the Legislature without amendment
Of the United States constitution.
Of course it is assumed that the
Legislature, after being instructed
by popular vote, will not prove I'm.
faithful.

The Yukon Fever.
MINING and Scientific Press

Mining and Scientific Press
The Importance of the late dis
coveries in Alaska on the Yukon
river-or rather in the British North
west Territory-is apt to be exag-
gerated on account of the air oi
romance, the strange conditions and
the amount of space given to them
by the daily papers the world over.
That very rich and very extensive
gravel deposits have been discovered
and will yield largely there can be
no question. In time quartz mines
will be discovered, developed and
worked /; but that the country will
radically affect the supply of gold
in the world and its price. as some
seem so suppose, is entirely out Of
the question. There is in the world
to-day, in coin or in other shape.
some eight billions Of dollars in
value. In case the Alaska gold
fields should output in one year
eighty millions of dullars, it would
add only one per cent to the worlds
supply of gold. 1t is not at all
probable that Alaska will turn out
any such sum, or even quarter AS
much, for years to come. unless
very much more extensive gravel
deposits are discovered.
The United States Geological
Survey has issued a general state
ment as to the possibilities of the
whole Yukon country. While they
show very large district is yet to
be prospected, they point out the
fact that the source Of the gold is
a comparatively limited area and
that near this, or within its limits,
must be found all the rich quartz
and placer deposits.
The discovery of pay gravel along
the different creeks varies very
much As TO quality. On several OF
the creeks the rich deposits have
already been worked, and those who
worked them have gone to the newer
discoveries. There were in the Ter
ritory, so it is estimated, two or
three months ago, some 5000 miners.
If each miner takes up as is bis
privilege, 500 feet in length along a
creek, they would be able to lay
claim to no lees than 800 miles OF
these placers. 1t is now said by
the papers that some 10000 people
will go in this fall or in the spring.
A little calculation will show that
the Yukon placers must be much
more extensive than is generally
supposed TO furnish even a moiety
of these with claims.
In. time, and it vii! probably be
short. wages will be much lower.
supplies cheaper, and much of the
gravel that it will not pay TO work
under the present conditions will
become valuable. This of course
will make the Yukon country OF
more permanent and lasting value
to the world at large than the pres
lent work that is being done. .

The Jubilee.

The Salt Lake Tribune says: The
big Jubilee is over, and We believe
the general verdict il that it was a
grand success. We believe this will
be the report that our friends from
the country will carry back home.
We believe they will say that the
promise made in advance by the
salt Lake papers was fully kept.

never saw before. 1t was good
thing in u hundred ways. /. drew
the county and the city closer to.
gether; Carbon and Warrington
and Rich do not seem nearly 80 far
away as they did u week ago. Again.
the taste of the people was improved
by what they saw. 1t will be seen in
many things within year; it viii
be particularly seen if ever again "a
jubilee or carnival shall be held in
the State. But the best feature OF
the carnival was that it made the
people more proud of their State
than ever before. That fealing car
ries with it double good; it causes
men and women 10 grow in self
respect and at the same time in
patriotism. The people who come
into the Jubilee were dressed better
than ever before; they drove in bet
ter horses than they ever did before
the indications were that in the
country the people are more pros
porous than they have been before
for four years. It was great
splendid gala time. We are glad
1t is over.

LETTER FROM CLONDYKE.
A Well Known Moscow Attorney In the
Gold Fields.

Moscow dispatch to Spokane
Spokesman Review News has been
received from Moscows' representa-
tive at the Clondyke. This is At
torney A. J. Green, who left here
for Juneau May 6, arriving at the
Clondyke June %, after seven weeks
travel. In a letter to Mrs. Green
he gives an account Of his expert
ences. At Juneau he purchased
provisions for one year and clothing
for two and then started with two
others for the headwaters Of the
Yukon. There they waited 10 days
for the ice to go out, going down
the stream afterward about 200
miles. The trip across the noun
tains consumed about a fortnight.
The cost of transporting $500
pounds belong to the party was 10
cents pound.
The expense of the trip, Mr..
Green states, from the head waters
of the Yukon for the seven men
and baggage was 500. His total
expense, including provisions and
clothing. was 1915.
Wages range from $40 a day for
ordinary laborers to SIS to $40 for
skilled labor. MIR. Green plans to
remain a year, and longer if he can
stand the hardships incident to the
life. There are innumerable mos
toes, compelling the miners TO wear
thin netting over their faces.
