A Terrific Jolt.

England's great statesman, Cham
berlain, in touching on that country's
present condition, gives the Dem
ocratic proposition of free trade I'm
this country most terrific rap. The
Democratic party is particularly fond
OF referring to England as an example
of the glories of free trade, and what
Chamberlain says must certainly come

in his great speech in parliament,
Mr.. Chamberlain alluded to the recent
visit he made to Venice, when he
found the campanile, which had stood
for centuries, and which, when he
previously visited Venice, seemed as
permanent as the city itself. now a
mass Of ruins. He continued:
IL do not say that l anticipate such
fate for the British empire, but /

crevices showing that the foundations
are not broad and deep enough to sus-

On the other hand, the protected

rapidly to wreck and ruin, have pro-
crossed infinitely better in proportion

intelligent here becomes an idiot when
he goes to Australasia. He does, how
ever, get ria of number of old-word
prejudices and supersitions.
Now. what Is the history of protec-

dustries. Then gradually primary in
dustries for which the country has ma

tariff wall; then secondary, industries
spring up, first OF necessaries, then OF

covered.

Important South American Line.

The railway across the Andes, be-
tween Chile and the Argentine Repub.
lie. which was projected twenty years
ago, is at last to be completed, the
Chilean Congress having recently
passed the bill for the purpose. The
Hottest part Of the pass. which lies
not far south Of the great Andean
giant, Aconcagua, and which has an
elevation OF 1900 feet, is to be pene-
trated by tunnel, which will serve
both to avoid snowdrifts and to de-
crease the maximum elevation Of the
road. The terminals of the railway
on each side Of the pass are now with
in one days travel by mule caravan
from one another. This will be the
first rail line across the South Ameri-
can continent.

Some Taffy and a Challenge.

Logan, Utah, Oct. 10, 1908.
EDITOR LOGAN REPUBLICAN
My Dear Sir:--Press Of business has
prevented me heretofore from express
ing to you my just apprecia ton Of
your candid and truthful report of the
two lectures delivered in Logan by
Mr.. Gilbert, on Socialism" | make
this acknowledgement to you for the
reason that IL is rarely the case that Il
partisan newspaper exhibits such in
tellectual generosity as in this instance
where a very small minority of the
people have been most fairly represent
cd by your paper, whose attitude on
economic questions are the opposite OF
the views OF those who are seeking
what they deem to be to the higher
interest of the social organic condi-
tions OF today.
Will you permit me, however,to call
your attention to a statement con-
tanned in one Of your editorials of the
same issue and which statement.
think, is not warranted by the facts,
to wit: "That there are hundred
men in Logan who will debate the
socialistic question with any avowcd
n ember of the Socialist party in Lo-
gan" You will pardon me if | say
that this statement seems to me to
reach the limit of absurdity, inasmuch
as it is in direct conflict with facts com
ing under my own observation, as
thus: Myself and other persons of the
Socialist persuasion have during the
last two years, made strenuous efforts
to discover any gentleman in Logan
who could be induced to champion the
cause of capitalism versus the CO.
operative commonwealth. 1t Is for
this reason that The REPUBLICAN is to
be congratulated on its discovery of a
hundred such champions where | have,
heretofore, been unable to unearth
one. In common justice, therefore,
am justified in the reasonable request
that at least one of the hundred be
announced as ready to contribute his
moeity of exact information on this
important subject, for the economic
and social bcttermcnt of our fellow
citizens. AS soon as we are thus adj
vised we will endeavor to meet him in
fair and open discussion on any or all
especial features contained in the So
cialist national platform.
Dear Sir, this statement is not made
land trust you will believe me to be
quite sincere in making the samc)
with view to provoke useless parti-
san discussion, but from an honest de-
sire TO get at the truth as it relates to
our economic difficulties, therefore, in
in the event that we not be able to ar
range for debate or discussion (which
| do not favor for obvious reasons) ap-
pealing to both you and l, we might
induce respectable number of gentle.
men in Logan, holding different opin-
ions on the questions, to deliver a
series OF lectures, commencing at as
early date as can be arranged for and
TO which the general public should be
invited through the local press.
AS an educational proposition this,
II seems to me, Is worthy of the atten.
lion and support of every good citizen
md especially of the faculties of our
,wo colleges and the staff of the New
Jersey Academy, not forgetting the
pulpit.
With sincere respect and esteem l
Am, Sincerely Yours,
&. G. GOODWIN,
Socialist.

Birds Nest In Letter Box.

At the village Of Weald, near st.
Neots, England. the public letter box
contains a birds nest with four eggs.
The postman whose duty 1t is to take
away the letters time after time found
pieces of moss in the box and threw
them out. but the bird always took
them back, SO at length he left the
nest materials alone. The box is
opened three times a day, but the bird
sits on quite unconcerned.

A Letter From r " ABEL

EDITOR MISUNDERSTANDING
perhaps few items from this part OF
the country might probably interest
some of your readers | will send you
a short article for reproduction in the
columns of your valuable paper
The town of st. John is situated In
the central part of Whitman County
in the eastern part of the state 80
miles from Spokane and - miles from
Colpa Wash, the county seat of Whit
man county. A branch of the o. r..
and N. company's line passes through
here leaving the main line at Seltice
and connecting with 1t again at Win
ona, Wash. This branch has an enor-
nous trade rs it handles considerable
freight, taking into consideration the
amount of wheat raised along the line
1t taps Oakesdale. Thornton, Sunset,
st. John, and Wiladi. Among these
towns st. John leads i'm the amount
of wheat handled. The crops in
Whitman county are short this year.
1t is estimated at 100000 bushels as
against 100000 bushels in 1901. OF
this st. John receives about 800, 600
bushels. The Pacific Coast Elevator
company, and Balfour Guthrie and
company own and operate large ware
houses here. am now working for
the latter company at ST. John.
Wheat at the present is worth 6oc a
bushel for No. lgrade. have made ar
rangements with a local photographer
to secure picture of the warehouse
with pile of about 10000 sacks out
side. He is also going to try to get an
inside view of the warehouse by the
flashlight process. The warehouse
which is 300 feet long and 80 feet wide
in full with about 10000 sacks outside
and they have loaded from one to six
cars day for month. This gives
you some idea of the amount of
wheat raised here. 1t is an ideal
country for the farmer; anything can
be raised in the fruit and vegetable
line as well as all kinds of cereal crops.
Anyone looking for fine climate,
rich soil and big crops will do well TO
investigate before locating elsewhere.
This town Is up-to-date. 1t contains
a bank, large department store,
three smaller stores, a drug store,
hotel, restaurant, two confectionery
stores, three blacksmith shops, three
large implement houses, but no sa-
looms. A train leaves here at six
o'clock every morning for Spokane
returning every evening at 7:45 the
same evening. Good farming land in
this vicinity can be procured at the
nomial price Of from sl5 to $50 per
acre. Any body wishing to learn
more about this country 1.-THE best on
earth) can receive any information
they want by addressing me at st.
John, Wash.
The fair at Spokane begins the 9Th
Of Oct. and lasts two weeks. The
Whitman county fair at Colfax from
the 18th to the 18th. II The photo
prapher Is successful in obtaining a
good picture will send 1t for reproduc-
tion in your paper. 1t will give
Cache county farmers some idea of
the way they raise grain In Washing
ton where irrigation is unknown.
Respectfully yours

Special caol. Despatch 10 rss Sun

Special Cio!e D'Sp2ic6 10 TIE sun,
HAVANA, Oct. 3l.-The decision OF the
shopkeepers OF Havana not to sell liquors
which are taxed is supported by the Spanish
newspapers,
Ell Mundo compliments the Government
on it's refusal to accede to the request OF
the shopkeepers that the collection OF taxes
be postponed until Congress shall consider
them. The paper says that to accede to
this request would kill the taxes and justify
a rebellion The merchants want the loan or
the payment Of the soldiers to 60 through
but they do not want to share with the s ate
the money they make.
The proprletors Of cigar and cigarette
stalls have decided to continue to sell under
the revenue law. 1t is not thought that
the shopkeepers will hold together if there
should be long fight.
A Spanish woman who owns hotel here
announces that the loss to her will be too
great to join in the agreement not to sci

others will probably follow her example.

do not know what to do. but it is expected
that If he woman decides to sell, the entire
