FACTS ABOUT FREE TRADE.

Free traders who are continually
and vociferously crying out against
tariff taxation appear never to have
taken into consideration the very
obvious and ncontrovertible fact that
there Is greater volume of absolutely
untaxed trade in this country than is
enjoyed by the people of any other
nation on the globe. Great Britain,
which is held up as shining example
of successful trade country, is after
all only nominally a free trader. 1t is
true that neither its domestic nor
foreign traffic is subjected to tariff
tax: but, on the other hand, they are
burdened with various small imposts
which are necessary to produce
revenue sufficient for the support and
maintenance of the government.
An estimate of the domestic COM
merce Of the United States during
1902 has been made by the bureau of
statistics of the treasury department,
and the total is placed at 10000, OO0,-
900. Objection has been made to this
estimate on the ground that 1t is
merely guess" and guess it GER
tainly is, as are practically all es-
Inmates of a similar character which
are not based upon actual and COM
plete returns. Nevertheless it can be
accepted as approximately, if not alb
Solutely, accurate.
Compared with this vast total Of
trade upon which there is imposed no
duty of any kind our foreign COM
merce sinks to almost insignificant
proportions. But in our foreign trade,
for some season, the people generally
display deep and continuing inter-
est, so it is pertinent to learn what
proportion of that trade is subject to
tariff duties During the six months
July 81, 1902, and ending
January 81, 1908, merchandise to the
value Of $59s, O7s,6S7 was imported.
OF this total goods to the value of
s24O,347,772 paid no duty at all, so
that the imports actually taxed under
the tariff law had an aggregate value
Of 1857, 73l, 9l6.
These figures prove the fallacy of
very prevalent popular belief that all
imported into this
pays tribute in the way Of
duties to the system of protection,
when, as has just been shown, only
little more than one-half is taxed.
Small indeed is the figure cut by the
sum collected by the national customs
officers when placed beside the $40, OO0,-
100000 which was approximately the
volume of our internal trade during
the half year covered.
Small as it is, however, it Is sufficient
to achieve the benehcent end for
which tariff duties are levied, that of
the American producer
and American labor from competition
with the cheap products of poorly
paid foreign labor. Remove this pro-
lection and the inevitable result must
be to food the American market with
cheap foreign goods which, because OF
the smaller cost of the labor that pro-
duced them, will drive out those of
domestic manufacture.

According to the Washington dis
patch, Utah's proportion of the
money on hand for the reclamation Of
arid lands will amount to 1896, 1886. 1t
would seem that this amount proper
ly expended must necessarily mean
great things for the state.

A Bold Theft.

About midnight Sunday or early Mon
day morning some n entered n OF
the rooms upstairs in the Nevada Hotel
and took therefrom a trunk belonging to
?. S. Brooks. Nothing was known of
the theft until Monday morning about 9
or 10 o'clock, when N. e. Bar,oo found
two coats hidden under a pile of ties just
below the N. c. shops. One was an over
coat and the other a sack coat and a let
ter addressed to Brooks disclosed the
fact that the coats belonged to Mr..
Brooks. 1t then became a mystery as
to how they came there. Upon examin-
alton il was proved that his trunk had
been taken from the room and a search
was at once instituted for it. Monday
afternoon Bill Altenberg fo1nd all that
remained OF the trunk a short distance
from the stock corral. Upon iDvestiga-
ton it was found that this was the
trunk. The thief had taken it to this
spot and after breaking it open and took
what he wanted from it, set it on fire and
burnt it up. The trunk contained two
suits OF clothes, besides several other ar
ticles of wearing apparel, also a num-
Der of keepsakes which Mr.. Brooks
priced very highly. The room in which
the trunk was, was not occupied that
night so there is no clue to the perpetra-
tor. 1t is not known whether there was
more than one accomplish in the robbery
or not. Constable Austin went east
Monday afternoon in hopes tina; he
might possibly catch bis mar If he head
ed that way.

A Fatal Accident.

Sunday morning an accidental explo-
sion Of giant powder occurred in a wood
choppers camp south of Berlin, resulting
in the death Of one man, the probably
fatal injury of another and more or less
serious injury to two others,
1t appears that a couple Of Spaniards'
in a tent among five others, were en-
gagged in cutting a stick of giant in two,
when it exploded, shattering both hands
of one man, blowing off almost the en-
tire left side of the face, including the
cheek bone, besides serious injury to
various other parts of the body. An
other man had his left hand torn to
shreds and his entire body ~frightful'y
mangled. The injuries to two Others
were of a less serious nature.
TIE two men were brought to Berlin
and placed under the care of DR.. Mann,
who amputated both arms of the man
that had both hands injured, and dress
ed and attended the other wounds on
this man and the other one. The num-
Der and character of the wounds made
the surgeons work long and difficult.
The man whose arms were amputated
died Sunday night aud was buried at
Midas on Tuesday. The other raj was
not expected TO live when the last news
wal received from Berlin.-Reyeille.

Western Union linemen near Golconda
FOR some time, met with a serious and
very peculiar accident last Friday. he
had assembled a telegraph pole and was
securing the wires to the cross arm
when the pole suddenly swayrd under
his weight. The young man thought he
was falling aud to save himself drove
the climbing spike on his right foot for
chilly into the pole. Exactly how it
ha opened he does not know, but he does
know that the leg was 30 violently
wrenched that the thigh bone was
broken.
The young man was taken to his home
at Winnemucca. where DR.. Samuels at.
tended him and set the broken leg. The
accident, being OF an unusual nature, is
most unfortunate, as it will be many
days before the young man is able to re-
sumo work.
Mr.. Chagnon went down to Whine.
mucca Sunday night to see his unfor
tunate son.. He returned yesterday and
reports his son as getting along as wei

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP.

Cough Remedy.

Cured by One Bottle OF Chamberlain
Cough Remedy.
"When | had an attack of the grip
last winter (the second one) | actually
cured myself with one bottle of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy" says Frank
w. Perry, Editor of the Enterprise,
Shortsville, N. Y. "This is the honest
truth. | at times kept from cough
ing myself to pieces by taking a tea
spoonful of this remedy, and when
the coughing spell would ON on at
night | would take a dose and it
seemed that in the briefest interval
the cough would pass off and | would
go to sleep perfectly free from cough
and its accompanying pains. To say
that the remedy acted as a most
agreeable surprise is putting it mildly,
| had no idea that it would or could
knock out the grip, simply because |
had never tried it for such g purpose,
but it did, and it seemed with the
second attack of coughing the remedy
caused it to not only be OF less dura-
ton, but the pains were far less severe,
and | had not used the contents OF
one bottle before Mr.. Grip had bid me
adieu." Fer sale by the Horton Co.

The S4fh anniversary OF the founding
of the Independent Order Of Odd Fellows
in America, was celebrated in good style
Monday night by Battle Mountain Lodge
No. 81, ably assisted by the s sters OF

nia flowers which had been received that
morning for the occasion and the ban.

it must be admitted that the Rebekahs
know how to arrange a nice "eat" on such
occasions. Yes such a spread Cold meats,
most t~astefully garnished, cakes, pies,

delicacies with hot coffee and chocolate
as lubricants, set the table off to a

Head as the target
The kearsarge and the Alabama practi-
cally followed the same course. Az the
Illinois swung round the entire port broad
side OF 6-inch and o-pound guns was en-
gagged on Fort Williams, and this was kept
up until 5l5 o'clock. when the ships came
to anchor between Gushing Island and
Cape Elizabeth, with Portland in plain sight.
Twice the Illinois had to stop on account
OF the smoke, which made navigation dan
gerous, Once she found herself out of the
position she had supposed herself to be in.
Meanwhile the Olympia and her consorts
were banging away at the forts defending
Hussey Sound, and the Texas and her
companions were sending shell (fgura-
lively. of course) into Fort Williams. Fort
Mckinley doomed away in the distance, but
not much attention was paid to it's work by
the fleet. Fort Preble also made itself
heard.
The order to cease firing was given at 5
o'clock. At that time the range had
dwindled to $50 yards, less than half nauti-
cal mile. The Red Fleet is very well salts
fed with its mornings work. 1t is be-
lieved by many officers that the channel be-
tween Cushing Island and Cape Elizabeth
was forced and that Portland was con-
structively at the mercy OF the enemy.
