A great deal has been said a

A great deal has been said and
written of the importation of foreign
labor, and immigrants, and some of
these same immigrants eventually
make good American citizens. But it
don't look good to us to see immigrants
coming into the Range towns for a
season, and getting a nice "stake'' OF
good American dollars, and then going
back to the old country to spend it.
II the old country is a good place to
live and spend money in, it ought to
furnish way to make the money,
without robbing American residents
who make and spend their wages on
this side of the pond" But that's
where capital wins out again. The
big transportation companies bring
them here, and carry them back They
pay no taxes for maintaining
schools, government protection, don't
even work the highways, and still they
get the benefits of. wage agitation by
American workingmen and good hard
dollars with the stamp of the greatest
government on the map.

THE DIFFERENCE.

Witnesses under oath have testified
that schwab and the rest Of the rob-
bers that formed the shipbuilding trust
sold the Bethlehem steel works, worth
about $7,000,000, to the trust for $780,
600, 900, and other iron works for about
rs per cent moro than their actual
value, and then turned around and
deliberately wrecked the trust because
certain officials refused to permit them
to continue their grating. Nixon sign

clerks who knew less about ship build

Jail as we have heard of yet. The
Lake Superior Consolidated Co., about
which there was so much noise short
time ago, because IF the fact that the
Canadian military was called out to

pay it's employees wages, was capital

value of the plant did not exceed $780,

in Jail either. Now comes the exposure
that the sugar trust has robbed New
York City of over a million dollars in
water rents during the past six years

FUND TO FIGHT
TOBACCO TRUST

Chicago, Nov 12.-The Chronicle
says:-The independent cigar dealers
of the country have adopted a plan to
secure 100000. al year with which. tic

the, independents dealers have accom-
plished some results, according to; the
statement last night of M. w. Diffley,
chairmanman of board of directors OF
the Cigar Dealers Association of Am
erica. 80.
The money will be raised by selling
stamps to the dealers to be placed on
all goods sold.
The stamps are printed. in sheets OF
lO0, perforated as are postage stamps
Each stamp is the size of United
States special delivery stamp.
For cigars the stamp is printed on
white paper, the flying horse Grade
mark of the association, showing
white, the remainder of the stamp be-
ing in green except the words "anti-
trust" which are in red. One stamp
is to be affixed to each box, Of what
ever size, on the inner side Of the lid
and to be sold to the manufacturer at
one-fourth Of a cent each. For stogies,
cheroots and cigarets. one stamp is to
be used on packages, of 100. two for
200, three for $50, and five for 500.
For leaf tobacco the stamp is of a
different color and is to be affixed to
invoices.
For manufactured tobacco there is q
still different color of stamps, the use
to be regulated by the pound.

The Chicago centennial celebrat ion
was failure from a musical stand
point, not a member of the regimental
bands turning out. This was caused
by notice In the union headquarters
forbidding any union musician to take
part in any portion of the celebration.
The hiring of non-union bands from
other places was objected to by tho
musicians union, and those having the
celebration in charge refused to cancel
such engagements. ltyis<said that fifty
members Of the First Regiment band
have been recommended for discharge
because they refused to play in the
parade.

MoNGOLiAN RESTAURANTS

The Cooks and Walters union is be-
ing urged by the keepers Of union
restaurants who pay decent living
wages to attempt to induce the Chinese
restaurants to pay union wages to
their help. The union mattresses re-
ceive $500 per week for their labor. The
chinese restaurants pay but $500 per
week. H. B. Coon, the keeper of a
restaurant on the Bowery, is credited
with saying that if he pays his help

to pay more for their food. > ::

heavy tax on manufacturers and yet at
the same time it is believed at a price
which will provide the national ogan-
ization with sufficient funds.
The cost of using these stamps will,
Of course, vary with the cigar manu-
facturer. One thousand cigars; packed
in tenths, will cost but w cents, in
'twentieths 5 cents and in fortieths 10
cents, but the expense Will be equalized
where all sizes Of packing are used.
The expense to the tobacco manu-
facturer is estimated. to on an average
price of $50 a thousand pounds. one
fourth Of 1 per cent. An output Of
100000 pounds a year would thus pay
a revenue Of $3.50.

 During such times as these, the great aggregation of cash that the name of Rockefeller stands for can be so used in the stock market as to make hundreds of millions. The best of the dividend-paying stocks are bought at sacrifice and held until nominal conditions prevail, when they are unloaded on the public, who were obliged to part with some of their holdings to protect securities bought on mar gins which had become exhausted, and those who, through fear that panic was imminent, sold for whatever their stocks might fetch, rather than lose all.
 This is selfish, but it is the ethics which obtains in the house of Rockefeller and is purely cold blooded business proposition, de void of all. sentiment. Rockefel- Ter has the cash and the credit and he uses both as no man ever born has done.

 People ought to stop to think a- bout these things. It isan impor- tant matter. It is their own good that is involved-the welfare and progress of their community; therefore of themselves individu- ally.
 \ local newspaper is absolutely necessary to any community. It may be that the daily papers, with their largest news service and quicker facilities, may have over shadowed the weeklies; but week lies continue to fill Q place that dailies can never fill. If they keep the people of a community in touch with each other by giving them the news of their town and county, for that alone they are of value and are worth farmore than the dollar a year that is usually charged for them. If they merely chronicle the progress of the com munity and keep the local pride and progressive spirit aroused they are worth still m0fe-Iaf more, Tn fact, than the town ever spends on them.
 Bear this in mind: No merchant, no county, no town council that spends every year all they can af- ford with the home paper-wheth- CT that expenditure is actually necessary or not makes a wiser, more profitable inyestment.. They are not giving the home paper something. On the contrary, it Is earning every cent 1t gets or more-provided 1t is paper that Is worth picking up in the road. And if 1t isn't that sort of paper, it is usually the fault of the town in which 1t is published.
