Abiding TO the fight against the op-
,ressions and exactions of tariff proteo
ion, which will not downIat the bidding
dlordly beneficiaries or Of party rulers
who have political dents to pay, the
Portland Oregoninp, an influential Re-
publican paper Of the Northwest, says
The West has never been the strong
hold OF protectionism. Until the moral
issue Of slavery became dominant the
great States al the West were stiffiy
Democratic on the tariff issuo--in the
days when protective tariff was a
cardinal doctrine with the Wing party.
In the days OF the Morrill, war tariff
the Western Republicans were always
for ltarif reform and lower duties.
Senator Allison OF Iowa was a CON
spicuous low tariff man. When the
Democrats in 1894 enacted a lower
tariff the Eastern Republicans at.
tributed the hard times which followed
to the low tariff, but the Western Re
publicans considered the demoneti-
cation of silver and the scarcity oil
gold as the cnuse Of business depression.
The prospect that.the Western Republi.
oans are disposed to move for tariff re-.
form and reduction Is naturally causing
anxiety among the Republican leaders
at the East. The report that Babcook
will be punished by removal from the
ways and means committee and from
the craftsmanship Of the Gong ressional
campaign committee will never be
verified By the event, for of course
Babcock knows that the Republican
West II strongly behind him anu his
bill, or he would never have pre-.
scented it.
This talk 10 encouraging. 1t in,
dica.es the truth Of the foroeful saying
that tho tariff question will never b.
settled until 1t is settled right. . II
was so settled once Ia this country,
when the Walker tariff Of ls4e, a purel,

A fire recently broke out at Hermann.

A FIRE recently broke out at Hermann
sreuth, On Austrian village near the
Bayarian frontier. A Bavarian fire
brigade, which was stationed only
three miles away, FASTENED to the
rescue, but the Austrian custom house
authorities refused to allow the fire
engines to pass the frontier before the
usual tax on imported machinery was
paid. The Bavarian firemen naturally
turned back, and half the village was
burned down before the nearest
Austrian fire brigade was on the
scene. This was an instance OF en-
forcing the protective tariff with a
vengeance.

The remarkable showing of the Pru-
dental Insurance Company for the
year 1900 is interesting, not only be-
cause it serves as an indication of the
general prosperity which has prevailed
throughout the country, but also be-
cause it shows the remarkable growth
Of company whose success In the
short period of its existence has been
almost without precedent. The fol-
lowing figures, which are taken from
the company's twenty-htlh annual
statement, show the immense business
which the Prudential really does. To-
dag the company has over 1000, 900
policies in force. Its surplus at the
end of 1900 was over S6,ooo,ooo,
while it paid to policy-holders in the
same time over $1,000, 900. Its in
come during the closing year of the
century was over $4,000, 900. An
amount OF insurance in force of over
S6o4, 100000, and a record of over
$40, 900, 900 paid policy-holders with
in the period of IS years are facts
which show clearly the companys
work in the great field of life insurance.

Representative Stevens, of Mimi. ,
who has recently been in Cuba, has
given the annexation-or-bust men
a hard nut to crack by calling at
tention to the fact that Cuba can
produce sugar at little more than
half the cost Of producing American
beet sugar and for a great deal less
than cane sugar can be produced by
our Southern planters, and that it
can produce enough OF it to supply
the market in this country, which
means, in his opinion, that the an
neXation of Cuba would at once kill
the entire sugar industry, both cane
and beet, of this country. And it
is opposed to either annexation or
an American protectorate.

A recent decision Of Judge Scott,
of Northampton county is to the
effect that where voter writes or
inserts the name of choice for any
Office on the ballot, the marking of
an x is not obligatory. The con-
test arose over the omission of a
Republican candidates name from
the ballot for committeeman in
Freemansburg, and the substitution
of another. Those who wished to
vote for him were, therefore, COM
PEELED to write his name on the bal
lot. Twelve did not mark the X
on their ballots, and the board
threw them out as defective. This
elected his competitor for the Office
by small majority. Judge Scott
held that the writing of the candi-
dates name was sufficient to indi-
cate the voters intention, and di-
rected that the twelve votes be
counted, which proved sufficient to
elect him.

The Dewey Mines.

Reports direct from Seattle to
the FREE PRESS convey the glad
tidings that the Dewey Mining Co.
will install machinery before fur
ther sinking is done on the shaft,
which is now down IS feet. Above
the water level the ore carries gold
but below are sulphides carrying
gold and copper.
Owing to the difficulty of sink
ing by hand and the presence OF
water the company will confine it,
work this season to the upper
levels. During the next 80 days
the company expect to have a re-
duction plant in operation. Ex-
periments in the treatment of it'll
low grade ores are now being made
at the assay Office in Seattle under
the direct supervision of the com
pany.
The Dewey is a Seattle institu-
ton and the bulk of it's stock il
owned there. 1t was one of the
first properties to be opened in the
south fork of Clearwater district,
and promises to be about the besI
and heaviest producing mine in
the camp, judging by the present
developments.

Strike on the Blue Jacket.

A report has reached town that
soon after Finch & Campbell for
feited their bond OH the Blue JACKIE
situated three miles south of the
Crooks Corral placers, the proper
ty reverted to the original owners,
Morton & johnson, who were not
satisfied with the showing made
by the lessees, and thereupon
commenced operations upon their
own account with the result, al
we are informed, that after driving
five shots into what had been
mistakenly supposed to be one OF
the walls of the ledge, they un-
covered a 12-foot vein of high
grade copper ore, and have not yet
reached the other wall. A speci-
men of the ore from the new
discovery was shown us, and if, al
is reported, the owners have -
feet of that kind of matter, they
have a sure-enough bonanza, and
which will demonstrate that the
Blue Jacket is all that was ever
claimed for it, as being a standard
copper proposition. Finch 8
Campbell are careful and con-
servative mining operators, and it
is possible that for once they have
made a mistake, which the best
organizations are bound to do
occasionally.
Messrs. Morton 4 johnson are
also developing the Gold Grown
mine, situated this side of the
Crooks Corral placers, and tho
showing is such that an expert for
a well known mining operator is
expected daily to examine and re-
port upon this mine for his princi-
pals. The Gold Crown showed
good gold values on the surface,
but as depth was gained the char
acter Of the ore changed to copper,
as was to be expected in that min
eral belt.
