WHEN Mr.. Bryan electrified
Ohio a year ago he found genu-
inc hard times, due to a tariff
policy of the Government APP
preaching to free trade. Just
such a condition of distress has
been the result of the operations
of every low-tariff measure ever
enacted by Congress from the
first history of the Government.
When Mr.. Bryan passed through
Ohio few days ago he found
genuine prosperity apparent at
every turn, due simply to the re-
turn of the Government to a good
protective tariff. Just such a
condition of health and activity on
all sides has been the result of
the operations of every protective
tariff ever enacted by Congress
from the first history of the Gov

cured by a general reciprocit,
treaty with that country, som,
claiming that the trade of tn,
Dominion is more to us than tina
of any other country on this con
tinent, and noting that we ar,
bound to Canada by a common
language and lineage.
That is true, in the main, but
can those journals that advocate
such a course give any assurances
that it would be effectual? If
there were only French and Irish
in Canada, the matter could all be
fixed up in a day, but the men
there with lineage all English,
not only do not want any closer
walk with the United States, but
are determined never to have it.
With reciprocity Canadian farm
ers would ship their produce to
our Eastern cities, but what
would they purchase in return?
They would take their money
home and buy English goods.
Il seems to us that a better way
would be to let Canada alone, do
the right thing and when her in
terests clash with ours insist upon
the right, being always careful
not to trespass in the least on any
Dominion right. The Canadian
English are like the Scotch-they
are more intensely English than
are the native-born English, and
there is not bit of use in trying
to reason with them. Educated
gentlemen who were born in
Canada have told us that after
their home here for years,
on returning for a visit and hear
ing their own brothers talking
their provincialsms, on trying to
explain to them that they were
all wrong, could make no head
way; they had their opinions and
it was useless to try to combat
them. What, then, is the sense

A commotion has been caused
in political circles at Boise, says
the Salt Lake Tribune, by the
action of the Boise Sentinel, the
official organ of the peoples
party Of the State, which announ-
ced in its issue of Saturday last
that henceforth it will fly the ban
ner of fiat money instead of free
silver at 10 to I, the attainment
of the latter being considered too
remote to have the desired effect
in muzzling the monoplies. 1t
also declared for the middle-of-
the-road policy, denouncing the
Democrats as instigators of a
scheme to swallow up the Popu-
list party. This action it is be
lieved, will estrange the Demo-
cratic wing of the fusion party,
which will likely make an effort
to fuse with the Silver RepubIi-
cans, which the Sentinel denoun-
ces as disloyal to the cause they
espoused, and flocking back to
the ranks of the goldbug party.
Senator Heitfield has secured a
controlling interest in the Senti-
mel and the first issue under the
new regime came out bearing the
name of E. c. Fuller, Senator
Heitfeld's private secretary, as
manager.

OUR PUBLIC DOMAIN.


of the general land office to the
secretary of the interior gives an
approximate estimate of the total
number of acres of vacant public
land in Idaho on June go, 1897, as
45,o65,S55. The states and ter
ritories having greater public
domain are Arizona, 50, 900, 900
acres; Montana, 10000
Nevada, 81, 700, 900; New Mexi-
co, oI,ooo,ooo and Wyoming,
100000. California, Colorado
and Utah have about the same
vacant area as Idaho. About
one half the total area of Oregon,
or 36,ooo,ooo acres, and nearly
one-half of Washington, or 49,
100000 acres, are vacant.
While other states have more
vacant land, no other has so great
a disparity between its occupied
and unoccupied domain, even
Nevada having slightly greater
proportion of patented lands, ac-
cording to the commissioners re-
port than Idaho. The total num-
Der of acres in Idaho is some
thing over $4,000, 900, of which
nearly 100000 is vacant public
domain, leaving but little more
than 100000 acres to which
titles have passed to individuals.
The original 55,ooo,ooo acres
would be classified about as fol-
lows: Rich valley lands, 5,ooo,-
600 acres; good agricultural
land, reclaimable by irrigation TO-
100000 acres; timber, 1000, 900
acres; grazing, 10000, 900 acres;
mountains, 10000, 900 acres. De-
1900, 900 acres estimat-
ed for mountain ranges leaves
80, 600, 1000 acres of vacant land
u Idaho suitable for occupation.
Much of this land is irrigable and
will be appropriated as fast as the
center of population moves west
ward and the narrowing oppor-
Lunities of the older states force
immigration to seek new fields
and undeveloped resources. This
will be greatly stimuli
ated during the ensuing months,
and for at least year or two
will find first class
and of almost any desired variety
and for almost any industrial pur-
pose in idaho. These lands are
al subject to entry under the gem
.ral homestead laws, and for sew
,ral years after seizure require
'nly occupation and improve
nent in good faith.
The agricultural importance of
IDAHO is little known or apprecia-
ed outside of the northwest. The
tate is chiefly prominent as
great producer of precious MN
rails and indeed most fits wealth
md population are due to that in
lustry. Yet its soil is so remark
bile for fertility and its climate
or salubrity that farming, fruit
growing and the softer pursuits
will ultimately give Idaho as much
enown as its varied mineral

Birmingham, Ala, Aug 9.-In the first two hours of business today transac- tions in stocks, reached enormous pro- portions. amounting to an aggregate as large as on many full days before the summer upward movement set in. There was a great variety to dealing and the strength was so general it would be foolish to mention any special stocks. There was an extensive cov- ering of stocks and liquidation took place on a large scale, while outside buying demand was carrying prices up. The ad- vancss in the. principal stock ranged from 1 to 3 per cent
 In the afternoon the effect of profit taking sales and an elimination of bear interests evident and prices ran down rapidly, the decline uneovering many stock orders Manhattan suffered a col lapse of 4 per cent ffom the highest and Tobacco over ? per cent. Near the close the traders used their best efforts to in- tensify a reaction and th- market closed weak under pressure. The total sales Of the day were 753,213 shares.
