old lady, were too daaed to leave

Now, if there is a man or woman
in the state of Idaho who does not
admire the populists for the back
bone they exhibited in the icon fu-
sion convention, there is something
wrong IN their attic. Not only nam
ing their demands and placing a
ticket in nomination after their de-
mands had been disregarded, but
the resolution in their platform
which prohibits the naming of any
democrat advocating the permit
System, to any vacancy that might
occur on the populist ticket.
"A word about the populists: While
the editor OF this paper was in the
democratic ranks, we entertained
the kindliest feeling for the popu-
lists brethren. They we're never
given their proper sphere in politics.
Now we stand square upon the re-
publican platform ana we admire
the populist more than we did be
fore, and we offer no apology for
saying that they have good men and
good ideas. And while they cannot
win out single-handed, we do not
believe they will fuse with either of
the old parties.
The populists have reached
point which must determine their
strength aud standing, where Meth
er shall be under estimated by de-
mocfats nor republicans. They have
walked along quietly while the dem.
ocratic carriage rolled past and
splashed mud upon them. But that
is past, and, without offense to our
own great party, we ttast they will
permit no political Organization to
besmirch them or grind tham iuto
dust, II they must force state and
national recognition at sacrifice,
let them do it, However, we feel
safe in saying, and if 1t was neces
sary to take an oath, we would
place our hand upon the Bible and
say that the republican party today,
while it has not bid or beckoned for
the populist vote; has greater re-
gard, upon higher plane, for the
individual populist than the great
est wreath ever placed upon its
brow by democracy "a wreath OF
thorns which not only pressed
down upon the brow of labor, but
would have crucifea labor itself

PERTINENT QUESTIONS.


How can protection protect IL it does
not protect the American manufacturer
against foreign competition and for
eign cheap labor? If the tariff does
not enable him to maintain a higher
price for his product than he could
without 1t, 1t is not a protective tariff.
The iron industry n various other
industries hav been built up in this
country by the protective tariff. In
their infancy they needed such protec-
ton; it may be that some OF them
have now developed to a point where
protection is not needed, but the ex-
pertinent OF abolishing or reducing the
tariff would be a very dangerous one.
as was shown in 1893, when President
Cleveland and his Democratic congress
came into power and Frustrated in
dustry by the enactment of the Wilson
German tariff act. AS a matter of
practical business the tariff duties,
while they afford American manufac-
turers a guarantee of protection in case
OF need, against foreign competition,
do not enhance the price of the out

been possible to buy all kinds of iron
and steel products in the United States
as cheaply as abroad, counting freight
and charges, and our iron workers
ave in some cases bid successfully
against foreign concerns for bridge
and other construction in foreign
lands. American locomotive makers
have recently sold locomotives to Eng
land, and American machinery of all
kinds can be found IN various portions
of Europe. Asia, Africa and South
America. Even in the matter OF tin
plate it was shown, by the figures com-
piled by a trade paper a short time ago,
that the price at consuming points in
the United States was not essentially
higher than in Wales, and tin plate is
protected by a very high rate of duty.
Our Republican-mugwump contem-
porary seems to think it possible to
dissociate the tariff schedules from
the tariff principle. and to advocate the
wiping out of duties without destroy
ing protection. Shakespeare. however,
had a very different idea of logic. He
said: You take my house when you
do take the prop that doth sustain my
house," but the Republican-mug-
wumps seem to think that they can
knock out the prop of the protective
duties and still maintain the edlfce of
protection to American industry in all

FACT VS.. THEORY.


British Free Traders Staggered by the
Workings of the Protective Policy.
The trend of thought in England re-
garding the advantages of the policy
of protection is indicated by the fol-
lowing editorial paragraph in a recent
issue of the Shetield Telegraph:
President McKinley's message to
congress will be read with great in
terest. At the very outset it contains a
statement calculated to stagger our free
traders. One of their favorite theories
is that protective duties kill a
try's export trade. Well, the United
States are indulging at present in
about as stiff a protective tariff as
anybody need want to live under; yet
President Mckinley was able to inform
congress hat the m of the
country was in a state of unexampled
prosperity. In fact, the imports and
exports were the largest ever known
in the history of the United States.
while the exports alone for 1899 ex-
ceeded by more han a billion dollars
the exports and imports combined for
the yea 1870. II the protective tariffs
strangle trade, we could do with a lit
tie of the same kind of %strangling on

present are not of the kind to grum-

tariff went into effect, that is 'calcu-

those who have begun to think Sc

of the potency of free trade to promote

TRUTH AS TO TRUSTS.
An Economic Evolution In n" Manner
Due to Tariff Laws.

An Economic Evolution In No Manner
Due to Tariff Laws.
The purpose OF the Democracy next
year to veil their attack upon the
tariff, as they did in 1892, under the
guise of an antitrust cry, is daily be-
coming more apparent. The fact that
the tariff has little to do with the
trusts is a matter of no consequence to
the Democracy, for that party Is never
hampered by facts when 1t is given a
s%hibboleth which 1t believes Will en-
able it to score a victory. The truth
that trusts are independent of tariff is
shown by the fact hat in free trad
England they have had a growth and
assumed proportions unknown In this
country, thus evidencing that they are
an economic evolution in no manner
due to tariff laws. A recent cable dis
patch to the New York Tribune, dis
cussing the trusts in England, says:
Free trade offers no safeguard
against them. English law is power
less to regulate them. for 1t is OBJ
viously impracticabie to prevent man
ufacturers from carrying out arrange
ments for selling their own properties
to themselves and managing their busi-
ness more economically by reducing
their expense account and the pressure
of competition. There is no cutlery
against trusts and combinations In
England, since the general effect OF
these Industrial amalgamations is to
reduce the cost of manufactured arti-
cies for the benefit of consumers.
There is. however. a growing feeling
of public indignation over the ex-
cesses and Irregularities of stock pro-
noting and the lack of efficient safe
guards for the protection OF share
owners"
II England, with a strong central
government, finds 1t difficult to draft
legislation which will prevent trusts, 1t
is easy to comprehend the greater diff
Guilty in the United States, where 1t is
possible to incorporate them under the
laws of any one state, which may legis-
