The first matter up after the reading
or the minutes OF the previous meeting
was the request Of the county road
commissioners for a tax levy of , per
cent on the assessed valuation Of the
county for last year. The valuation
of the county was -, 500, O0O which
would give them about 50, 600. There
was some discussion after which a res
olution granting the request was ad :
opted by vote of TO ?. Mr.. Olson
asked II there was no way to keep them
from overdrawing. 1t was the sense Of
the board that no orders should be
drawn on this fund unless there was
money TO pay the warrants Super
visor McLaren punctuated the talk
with a good sensible suggestion that the
roads must be kept in passable condi-
tion and that results were being had

pended. Several moments were spent in

Chairman Henley grew impatient al
the delay and suggested that the au-

be appointed TO look over and audit
the bills and save the board doing the
work as a whole Supervisor Gibson
suggested that an auditing committee
be appointed 70 meet the day previous
to the board meeting and audit bills
Chairman Henley objected stating that
an auditing committee had been tried
here before and failed for the reason
that supervisors wanted TO know what
bills were for. The upshot Of the mat

A raft of bills including the small

~JiM- HILL AND TARIFF.
| Mistaken Presumption that Protec-
tons Usefulness Has Been
| Exhausted.

In his speech to the Illinois Manu-
facturers' association in Chicago. Mr..
James J. Hill, president of the Great
Northern Railway company, expressed
himself as follows regarding the prac-
teal operation of the policy of pro-
lection:
I'VE have enjoyed all the benefits
of a protective tariff for many years,
and whatever good it can do in the
way of building up infant industries
has already been accomplished The
growth of our enormous iron and steel
industries, which are pointed out as
the result of our protective tariff.
can be more surely traced to our
enormous resources in the iron
mines of Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota than to all other sources.
1t would seem that the free-trade
micrObe has not been wholly driven
out of Mr.. FIill.s system. 1t was in
great measure diS1Odged by the events
of 1S93-1897 Prior to that time he
was a Democrat ard a free-trader-
The experiment of the second C1eve-
land regime opened his eyes, and he
is understood to have supported Nc
Kin1ey, both in 1896 and 1900. In
1898 Mr.. Hill found it necessary to
put in force sweeping reduction in
wages throughout the Great Northern
system, and it was not until after Nc
Kinley's Inauguration, in 1897, that
Our enormous resources in the iron
mines of Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota did not prevent Mr.. Hill
from cutting wages, nor did they en-
able him to restore wages until after
a protective tariff regime had been
installed Protection created the
iron and steel industries of the United
States by securing to them a sure
market and defending them against
injurious foreign competition. The
iron mines of Michigan, Wisconsin
| and Minnesota would have lain dor
mant for another fifty years if Great
Britain had been permitted to continue
her monopoly of supplying the United
| States with iron and steel products.
| Iron steel mines do not open or
| develop themselves. They await a de
| mand. Protection created and still
| maintains that demand.
In saying that protection has done
| all it can do in building up infant in

A Farmers Tariff.

There was time when Senator
Morgan advocated a protective duty
for coal and iron, in which his state
was largely Interested. The result
of that protection Injured not to the
manufacturers, but to the landowners
the miners, the transporters and the
farmers who supplied with food the
rev cities like Birmingham Admission
Sheffield, Bessemer and host of
others which sprang up from the de-
velopment of the mineral region.
The protective duty on cotton goods
has kept the home market free from
the competition of Great Britain and
Germany, and has built up factories
all over the South. These mills have
added One-half a cent to the price of
cotton, being able to pay that much
more than the Northern mills. This
bale, or twenty-five millions on the
total annual crop This money goes
to the cotton planter; and the mills,
besides creating this new fund, are
creating cities in every Southern
state, giving new and valuable en-
pIoment to labor and affording new
markets for farm produce.
The protective duty on sugar is re
storing and expanding the farming
lands of Louisiana and building up
factories throughout the West, prom
Using at no distant day to retain
among our farmers the hundred mil
! lions now paid annually for foreign
sugar.
The protective duty is not, as Sena
tor Morgan suggests, manufacturers
tariff 1t is just much farmers
tariff. There may be, and no doubt
should be, establishments of the tariff
to meet changed conditions, but when
the issue is raised against protection
as a principle, the senator will find
that the people of his own state will
be slow to follow his leadership
