a TRICK OF THE LOBBY.

1t is said that Chairman Palmer of
the republican state committee and
ex-senator John l.. Wilson have agreed
to support B. II. Silver, of Bellingham,
for lieutenant governor if the demo-
cratic state convention can be induced
to nominate MIN. Silver is a partner
of Palmer and Wilson in the oyster
business. The democrats should be
ware of the Greeks bearing gifts Six
teen to one Silver is opposed to a rail-
way commission and Palmer and Will
son are acting as the agents of the rail-
roads in trying to put him on the
ticket. If Turner We're elected govern
or and should de or resign, Silver
would become governor, and if he
shares the views of his sponsors, Palm
er and Wilson, on corporation QueS-
tons, he would prove to be a mere tool
of the railroad lobby in defeating the
will of the people, Silver is not a name
to conjure with in this campaign any
way. The democratic nominee for
lieutenant governor should be pure
gold, with no alloy in his views on the
question of an appointive railway COM
mission.

MEAD'S DEFEAT CONCEDED.

The Vancouver Columbian, Staunch
republican organ. agrees with the ore
pOnian that it is doubtful whether
Ross Farrells man Mead can be elect
ed governor over George Turner. II
says:
More or less talk is being had re-
garding the nomination for governor.
Former Senator George Turner will be
the nominee for the democrats, and 1t
goes without saying that mis- candidacy
will be a strong one. The Post-Intel-
Iigencer makes the assertion that the
republicans are afraid he will not be
nominated. as they want to beat him
badly. Now such stuff is written for
effect. and it has no sense. Turner is
a strong candidate, and no use deny
ing it, No sensible republican Will
deny it. In fact, in eastern Washing
ton he will fairly sweep the counties,
and he will get a big vote in the west
ern part. Facts are facts. Mr.. Mead
has a big fight on to beat Turner. Re-
publicans might as we'll wake up to
the fact. Mr.. Turner is a man well
known and honored in the state. The
ONLY fault found with him is that he
was once a republican and then flop
ped to the democrats. That was his
American privilege, and he should re-
ceive no censure for doing what he
considered his duty in that respect. 1t
is safe to say that Senator Turner VIII

tariff consideration. Our tariff is much
higher than the Canadian tariff, so
much so that there is a good deal Of
justice in the Canadian claim that the
proper way for the United States to
begin reciprocity is to lower our du
ties on Canadian products to the level
of their duty on ours.

FIRST BANK IN TERRITORY.
Was Established in Walla WaIIa by
Baker & Boyer.

In publishing the obituary of the late
Dextor Horton, who died at Seattle,
Friday, the newspapers Of the state
claim that he started the first bank in
Washington. This is a mistake. The
then territory of Washington, was
opened in Walla Walla by Baker &
Mr.. Horton did not open his bank in
Seattle until the following year.

WHY CROKER WAS NOT NOMI-
MATED.

Dave Larimer, The Politician" of
the Spokesman-R Review, says:
anyone who believes that it was
possible at any time to secure a COM
mission plank at Tacoma might inquire
of United States Revenue Collector
b. d. Croker of Tacoma. Mr.. Crocker
was the first choice of the Farrell con-
tingent and j. d. Farrell personally
for governor. But he has considerable
political acumen. and he knew that for
the republicans to carry the state it
was imperative that commission
plank be put in the platform.
Mr.. Crocker urged his views upon
Mr.. Farrell in the famous conference
which occurred i'm the latter's private
car the night before the convention.
Mr.. Farrell was absolutely in control
of a majority of the delegates to the
convention. and he refused point blank
to consider a commission plank. He
forbade its insertion in the platform
Because of that fact Mr.. Croker for
bade further use of his name in con-
necuon with the governorship. believ-
ing that a federal office in hand was
worth twice as much as a governor
snip in the bush.
After Mr.. Croker was eliminated
by his own act, the railroad conference
agreed upon Mr.. Mead as their candi-
date. He was willing to run on any
old platform. He was the only serious
candidate for governor at the Tacoma
convention who was willing to make
the race without a railroad commits
sion plank, That was why he was
selected.
These facts are known to every re-

WHILE WE LET WELL ENOUGH
ALONE.

While the republican party has seen
fit to let another national convention
pass without a declaration in favor OF
reciprocity with Canada, the agitation
in that country in favor of a higher
tariff and closer trade relations with
the mother country continues. The
Canadian Manufacturers Association
is doing it's best to educate the coun-
try up to high tariff aimed more at
the United States than at any other
nation. This program is made more
attractive by being associated with
the preferential trade idea of Joseph
Chamberlain. In a long speech before
the Montreal Canada club, Mr.. George
f. Drummond, president of the manu-
facturers' association, who mas just re-
turned from a long stay in England in
the interests of closer trade relations
between Canada and England, main
tanned that there was no conflict be-
tween protection for Canadian indus
tries and the intra empire preferential
trade program.
It is Mr.. Drummonds idea that by
increasing the general Canadian tariff
and giving British manufacturers
large discount or preference, it will be
~ no l.
ufacturer against undue English COM
petition and at the same time transfer
purchases of foreign goods as will be
inevitable. In this way, Mr.. Drum
turer will be amply protected and will
get a large part of the trade in Cana
da now enjoyed by American manu-
facturers. The other part of the trade
now controlled by Americans is to be
turer.
Mr. Drummond used some striking

ness of the trade between the United
States and Canada. While the United
States in the fiscal year of 1902 bought
90 cents worth per capita of merchan-
disc from Canada: Canada bought
S21.46 worth per capita from the
United States. Canada is essentially
an agricultural country, yet Americans
buy only 10 cents worth per capita of
Canadian farm products. whereas the
Canadians buy $3.50 worth of the same
kind of goods from the United States
Canada is very prosperous now and
the purchasing of S130.000. 600 worth OF
American goods each year does not
seem to hold her back any. Still, the
discrepancy between imports from the
United States and the exports is sc
great that it is bound to be a spur to
tariff revision in Canada. so long as
the United States fails to consider any
proposition for giving Canada special
