Free Trade does
FREE TRADE. not compel Amsri--
cans or anybody
else to trade anywhere. Free Trade
merely permits Americans and every
body else to trade anywhere or every
where.
Inter-changes Of goods and products
between individuals continue SO long as
they are mutually advantageous. All
legitimate exchanges are profitable to
both the buyer and seller. Whenever
either party to q series of exchanges
ascertains that he is losing money he
stops making such exchanges. He
ceases to buy or to sell along that line.
Improbable trade withers and perishes
between individuals and nothing can
force it's continuance.
Trade between Americans and Eu-
ropeans is governed by the same law OF
gainfulness h
Foreign Trade. controls domestic
trade betwee en-
Americans here at home. When a
Yankee finds that an Englishman or
any other kind of an European is getting
all the advantages, all the profits in the
exchanges of goods, products, commodi-
ties between them, that Yankee i'm
mediately quits that trading. And on
the other hand, whenever John Bull
finds that Jonathan is getting all the
advantages he stops the exchanges.
A protective tariff with duties that
are prohibitive of purchases or ex-
changes in certain
prohibitory Tariff. foreign-made goods
is therefore only an
impediment, or an electrocution, of
profitable trade-remunerative and mu-
tually advantageous exchanges-be-
tween Americans and foreigners. The
period of exclusiveness has expired.

THE CRACKER SUMMIT GOLD MINING CON- CON-
! PANY own eight quartz claims and one placer
L claim and mill site in the famous Cracker Creek
District, adjoining the properties of three of Eastern
Oregons heaviest producing mines, namely the COL
umbia & and North Pole, and are but three thous
and feet from the famous Golconda mine on the same
ledge the Climax, Ohio Cyclone and Free Coinage
claims
The company owns 4soo feet of this ledge rang
ing from to 40 feet in width. The vein has been
opened by shafts tunnels and open cuts for distance
of 2Ioo feet, showing pay shoot 100 teet IN length
and feet wide. shaft has been sunk on this pay
and increase with depth Samples taken from this
shaft assay from S.3o to $46Is per ton and picked
samples have assayed as high as $2Io78 per ton. The
shaft was thoroughly sampled across its entire width
of feet, every feet for its entire depth by two rel
able experts giving an average of about $40 per ton.
Outside of this payshoot the average runs about $500
per ton.
Beside this ledge the Company has three other
Lodges on which the assessment work only has been
done showing values from Al cents to 81 per ton.
The claims are heavily tmbered and well watered,
having small streams which flow the year round
from the west vein which is contact between slate
and granite, and will furnish power enough for
drill compressor. The formation is the same as all Of
the large mines in the neighborhood being black
metamophic Sate that lying next the foot wall having
the appearance of quartzite.
The development consists of I2s feet of tunnels,
feet of shafts and about $50 feet of open cuts
The ledge be tapped at depth of 63s feet by a
cross cut tunnel 1912 feet in length, the ore can be
brought through this tunnel to the mill by gravity thus
saving expensive hosting and pumping machinery.
There is good substantial blacksmith shop and outfit
of tools on the ground and good wagon roads into the
property.
The officers of the company are James Clark, pres

There Is only one drawback complain

planters complain that they cannot get
sufficient labor to work the plantations
The sugar planters say that Chinese
labor is the only reliable labor to be OBJ

other lahorers viii break their contracts
but the Chinese are faithful. They are
hard workers and are Just suited to work
on the sugar plantations
