JULY |
Closes Fishing Season in
 Southeastern Alaska.

Secretary Shaw has announced that he has signed an order closing the salmon streams of Southeastern Alaska until July [ Of each year. The district 10 which the order win apply Is between plrallsls s9;3O, $40 and east to the IAIst mefldilu. The eanuerymen wanted the date fixed at June zs as against July 5, contemplated by the department, and this order Is therefore somewhat of a compromise. The depart ment attaches much importance to thls order. declaring that lt will allow many salmon to ascent the streams for spawning before the fishing begins and that the danger of depicting the supply Of salmon will be avertsd. Secretary Shaw says that the psrmanenes Of the salmon fishing Industry has been endangered by Che mul- tIpheity of the eannerlss and salterles and the fierce eompstltlcn of the nnsrymsn and employees and that the depletion of the fisheries Is due to over fishing.
 after rseltlng further conditions tending to deplste the salm jn supply the secretary says that the euforesment of a closed sea son Is designed especially "tO permit the early arrival of red salmon to ascend to the spawning grounds '
 Indians are not to be required to observe the closed season, provided they take fish for their own subsistence.
 The secretary has ordered that the spe- agents of the service report carefully any init1ctlon of the new rlles

inflated securities.

inflated securities.
The trouble is to be found in our
tariff system, which prevents us from
being trading nation. Industrlally
we are walled in. We are not buying
and selling in the markets Of the
world according to the laws of trade;
and, as we are attempting to earn
dividends on money that never was
invested, we cannot reduce our prices
enough to sell at a profit in other
countries. We can squeeze our own
people, for the tariff prevents them
from buying in the cheapest markets,
but we cannot squeeze the people out
side of our borders.
Prices Of industrial products are
SO high in the United States that con-
sumers can pay no more. But our
nome market is not sufficient to pay
dividends On stocks representing prac-
ucally no investment Our high tar
if prevents us from entering the mar
kets of the whole world on a reciprO-
cal basis. And, even now, the prime
minister of England is, asking his
country to give him a tariff weapon

with which to deal with us.
Backbone of Prosperity.
Il tell you that the reconstruction
extension and improvement of the
railway systems of the country have
been the backbone Of the industrial
prosperity which has led to the in
flation of securities in Wall street to
hundreds of millions of dollars beyond
their value. The railway systems
have got through; they have anticipa-
ted business for many years. 1t is
crime to deceive the country any
longer with false hopes of returning
industrial prosperity.
'The only door of relief must be
cut right through the tariff. By that
door alone we can reach the mar
kets necessary to support our over
grown Industries Before this time
next year the country will have suffer
ed enough to put it in thinking con-
ditlon. Dark days are at hand for
the 'standpatters,' for the real situa-
ton can no longer be concealed"

TO Jail Debtors.

Representative Mahatfey of
Spartanburg it is said is prepar-
ing a bill for the the next leglsla.
ture to Jail debtors. While he is
working to bind the shaekles
closer on those who owe and will
not or cannot pay. Some man in
West is talking about repeating
all laws intended to secure the
creditor and to make credit stand
upon mans personal honor.
He thinks that this would be the
best protection that a creditor
could have. Ii would lead more
to the cash system. Persons who
were disposed to shirk their OBJ
legation would have to pay as
they went, and thuse who secured
credit would value their reputa-
tions too highly to have them
damaged by failure TO pay what
they owed. Greenwood Journal.
