Outlook for 1900.

Every sign seems to point to a
bigger volume of business in 1900
than in 1899, although it seems
almost incredible that that should
be the case. For from reports made
in respect to last years business, it
is evident that a large number OF
the mills and factories of the Coun-
try were taxed to their utmost
capacity; and the demand for labor
in almost all sections of the country
has been greater than the supply.
The statement made by Mr.. A. J.
Miller of Providence, the vice-presi-
dent of an iron and steel concern,
i'll respect to the condition of affairs
in New England, applies fairly well
to the country as a whole. Mr..
Miller says:
General business conditions
have not been so good in New Eng
land in years. Our state is a per
feet hive of industry, and mills that
have not been in operation in years
are now running full blast. In
textiles the manufacturers of our
state are doing a great business,
and it is a fact that some of our
cotton mills are SO filled with orders
that they are running nights-a
condition Of things that has not
prevailed in years"
If this kind of thing keeps up,
the latest thing in Free Trade argu-
ments will be that Free-Trade is
needed by the country in order to
give the working people rest from
the arduous labor in which they
have been engaged ever since the
Dingley law brought back business
activity and prosperity to the coun-
try. There isn't any likelihood,
however, that the people will be so
for long vacation without
pay that they will vote for Free
Trade. -Economtst.

PORTO RiCAN BILL PASSED.

The Porto Rican tariff bill passed
the Senate last Tuesday by safe
majority and that ends the matter.
On one account we are sorry about
this. 1t is because the Statesman
has pronounced it a wicked measure
and repeatedly admonished the
United States Senate that it would
be called strictly to account for
daring to do a thing which the
Statesman could not endorse. We
cannot understand how it is that
Congress is so bu1l-headed and
"sot" in its ways. 1t never will
permit itself to be directed by the
real sources of political philosophy.
Now, the Statesman and the Cald-
we'll Record, and the Albion Times
have all taken occasion to admonish
Congress against passing that bill;
have said positively that it was un-
constitutional to do it, and that it
was the worst kind of a thing to do
in the spring of the year. There
was really no sense in Congress fly
ing in the face of things like that.
The Statesman we'll says that the
people actually won't tolerate it.
They will rise right up and ask for
an accounting. What do Congress
men, and Senators, and Presidents
know about things anyway? Let's
fire the whole business.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1900-04-07
DECREASING THE DEBT.

Nothing is more convincing than
the facts which are true. Accord
ing to the monthly statements of
the United States Treasury the pub
lie debt was decreased during the
month Of March to the extent of
5000, 7o1. That is pretty salts
factory showing, considering that
the expenditures iii the war and
naval departments are seven or
eight millions a month more than
under ordinary conditions. In this
connection it may be noted that
during the whole Of the last Demo
cratic administration not dollar of
reduction in the National debt was
made in any month while, on the
contrary, in some months the debt
was increased tens upon tens Of
millions. There is also a notable
increase in in the amount of Ma
tional Bank notes in circulation,
and moreover the minis have been
doing a lively business. Of gold
there was coined over IL and half
millions and Of silver over 4 and a
quarter millions. That looks
strange doesn't it? We mean it
looks strange that a government
which is accused of demonetizing
silver should actually be coming it
at the rate of 14o thousand dollars
a day.

Willing to Sacrifice Them.

The Statesman announces that it
is authorized to state that Mr.. w.
E. Borah has returned to the Re-
publican party. Well, now, let's
shut the door. Everybody is back
that any one would care to have
back. We will try to struggle
along without julie, Arney and
Jake. We will donate that trio to
the cause of Is to and Organism.
1t is not much of a sacrifice, to be
sure, but it is all the cause is worth,

HOW ABOUT THE RCSF7

The fact that the Blackfoot Meas
and Elmere Bulletin have united
with the CALDWELL TRIBUNE and
Lewiston Teller in traducing Gov
ernor Steunenberg is a sufficient
guarantee that his popularity is on
the increase. -CaldaVeU Record.
~ Accepting that as true, it is per-
u tinent to inquire whether or not the
attitude of the National Democratic
committee and the whole Demo
cratic press outside of Idaho is also
contributing to Governor Seunen-
berg's popularity? The Democratic
committee, through its official
organ, is taking much stronger
ground against Governor Steunen-
berg than has either the Lewiston
Teller or the CALDWELL TRIBUNE,
and it seems to us that sincere
prose1yte of Steunenbergism would
direct his shafts with a degree of
impartiality. But, we remind the
Record that only few weeks ago,
1t flattered itself with the notion
that the CALDWELL TRIBUNE stood
alone in opposition to Steunenberg's
methods. Since it has discovered
that two of the foremost Democratic
papers of the State are lining up
with us, and if it had taken the
trouble to make a little honest in
quiry it would have made the fur
Their discovery, that its own Nation
al party is with us. Now, we are
going to caution it in advance, be-
;" cause newly baptized Democrat is
liable to have a period of blind
staggers, and while in that condi-
ton go up against all kinds of
things.
The Democratic party when it
meets at Kansas City is liable to
put plank in its platform denounc-
ing that Ceur d'Alene business in
strong terms. What will our friend
do then, poor thing2 Along about
that time tina State will be flooded
with Democratic literature contain
Ing pictures of the bull pen, and |
honest miners backing the shoes
Of "nigger" soldiers, and the wives
Of the miners fleeing in terror from
the insults of "niggers. And
there will be sickening tales of the
dirt and filth and hunger and
wretchedness which the working
men suffered, and a blood curdling
account of the poor bereft miner
whose suferings destroyed his mind,
and who while trying to flee from
the horrors which surrounded him
was shot down like dog, and his
body left to float away with the de-
hris and ofal of the premises. And
probably there will be some kineto-
scopic views, showing Sinclair
stalking among the poor, half
starved, half-naked miners with a
loaded blacksnake in his hand cut
ting and slashing in all directions,
while his type writer in one of the
mine owners offices will be firing
of dunn dunn proclamations. And
what if they should have a picture
