just been learned that two sticks Of
dynamite were found by section men
near the mouth of He'll Gate canyon
on the Northern Pacific track, east of
the city on Sunday, just before an

The finding of the dynamite was
kept quiet owing to ar order issued
from st. Paul to the effect that no
more dynamite stories are to be given
out, as it is feared that it will incite
others to take part in the blackmail-

means for trimming the protective
tariff. He does not believe that the
Republican party win consent to the
trimming of its magnificent protective
SYSTEM even If undertaken under any
such fair-sounding word as reciprocity,
but he sees in the rising tide in the
Northwest something which must be
driven back and fought out by the Re
publican party Closely in line with
his views is the resolution recently
adopted at the annual meeting of The
American Protective Tariff League"
Senator Burton looks the situation
sQuarely in the face and sees it as it
is. This time the issue is not be-
tween parties, it is inside of the Re
publican party. 1t is not Democrats,
but Republicans which have to be
fought. A singular condition, truly.
What brought it about? Too much
prosperity, coupled with chasing after
foreign trade. Incidentally there was,
we believe, something heard about
solemn obligations, national honor"
relief" ETC., but those are things Of
the past. They were bogus, any
how, and did not last long, But the
fight inside the Republican party is
not bogus. 1t is the real thing.

Fine Political Economy.

In an address before the inter
national Customs Congress Secretary
Show expressed a sound and import
ant truth when he said:
There is no greater blessing to any
people than a high-priced labor The
commercial importance of a country is
measured by the consumptive capacity
of its people, and annual income is
the test of consumptive capacity, and
annual income is determined by the
standard of wages"
An excellent doctrine admirably
stated For more than i've years the
United States has continuously ex-
hibited the tremendous volume of high
priced labor fully employed 1t is to
keep labor prices high and provide
the maximum of employment that our
present economic system is intended.
When the republic does its own work
there will always be an abundance OF
work and at high prices. Result: Pros
perity for everybody.

Protection for All.

The American Free-Trade league
has recently held meeting in Bos-
ton and again adopted resolutions de-
handing that the duties on certain
articles, among them beef, be re-
moved. This is the usual routine of
the Free-Trade league, which is al
ways demanding the removal of duties
from articles which are not produced
by the people of their own vicinity.
The Free-Trade league is largely COM
posed of New England people, and it
is a notable fact that they are always
ready to demand the removal of duties
on articles produced in some other
section of the country, and entirely
overlook the shoe pegs and wooden
nutmegs and other articles produced
by the manufacturers of New England.
There is only one thing to the credit
of these free-trades-they do not at
tempt to masquerade as tariff ere
formers"
To be consistent, the members OF
this freetrade association should de-
mand the repeal or abolition of all
protective duties and take in the man
ufactures of New England as well as
the raw materials of the West If the
duty is to be abolished on the cattle
that come in competition with the
products of the Western ranges it
should be abolished on the boots and
shoes manufactured in New England
from their hides. If the free-traders
and "reformers'' of New England
would have free wool for their manu-
features. they should also demand that
the duty be taken from manufactured
wooden goods, and that the cheap Ger
man and English and French fabrics
be allowed to come in and compete
with their own manufacturers. =

REPEAL OF coal DUTIES.
How the Matter Is Regarded on the
Pacific Coast.


The attack upon the coal duties is
clamorous and concerted. The tempo
rary coal famine in various parts of
the country has been seized upon by
the so-ca,led tariff reformers. dis
guised free-traders, as affording an ex-
cellent opportunity to make breach
in the wall of protection by bringing
about the removal of a duty which is
not in the interests of any one save
the coal producers and coal miners of
the state of Washington. The coal
duty is a matter of Indifference to coal
operators IN the East. Their ad-
vantages are such they will always
remain unaffected by any foreign COM
petition. With US it is different The
duty on coal is the sustaining prop
to an industry which directly affords
support to 5000 n-en in this state, and
industry to probably as many more.
We have here to meet competition
such as no other protected industry of
the United States has to encounter.
The vessels which come to the Pacific
coast from Great Britain or Australia
bring coal in lieu of ballast. and the
freight charge upon such coal is mere
ly nominal. The lowering of the duty
to 40 cents, under the Wilson-Gorman
law, resulted in nearly doubling the
amount of British and Australian coal
which entered the markets of the Pa
ctfic. Every ton of this foreign coal,
so entering, displaced a ton of Wash
ington coal. and to that extent de-
prived Washington miners of employ
ment. No industry in the United
States suffered so severely from the
lowering OF duties under the Demo
cratic tariff bill as did the coal mining
industry of Washington, and yet tho
Democratic tariff bill still left duty
of 40 cents upon imported coal.
Now it is proposed to take off every
cent of this protection; to wipe the
profit of foreign shipowners and at the
expense OF the people of Washington.
