IF a high tariff produces high

in Germany, where the tariff is
twice as high as in England, the
wages are much lower, and that
in France the wages are lower
still, although the tariff is SO high
that everys farmer who carries
his produce to market must pay

Our local contemporary OF last
week contains an article signed
ECircuit Rider" in which an at
tack is made on Senators VIM.
j. Stone and Francis M. Cock
rell and Gov. A. M. Dockery,
and in which the three distin-
guished Demo Gratis named are
accused of making an effort to
put Joe Folk in hole before the
state committee. While the
COURIER regarded Senator
Stones assault on Folk for not
publicly declaring his intention
to support the entire Democratic
state ticket, as ill-advised and
uncalled for, we fail to see what
right our contemporary has tc
permit a "circuit rider" or any
one else, to couple Senator
Cockrell's or Gov. Dockery'
name with the Stone-Folk quar-
rel. Senator Cockrell is az mar
who is honored and respected by
men of all political parties FOL
his rugged integrity, while Gov
Dockery is the Democratic gov.
ernor of this great Democratic
state, and there is not a flaw il
his record, public or private. L
the Sign al is going to open it'
columns to aspersions of reputa'

article is the most far-fetched

THE only legitimate purpose OF
a tariff is the raising of needed
revenue, but.when this requires
a heavy import duty, incidental
protection to manufactures will
result. But why should the

Boy Shot.

While John Aldridge and Roy
Evans were shooting frogs
around lake, east of the Key
tesville depot Wednesday, after
noon, Roy happened to get in
front of Johns target rifle just
as it went off, accidentally, which
it was in the habit of doing, and
the ball took effect in Roy's leg
in the inner posterior portion,
about four inches above the
knee, and passed through the
fleshy part without touching
bone or blood vessel. While
Roy and John were both pretty
badly frightened, DR.. Aldridge,
who dressed the wound, thinks
nothing serious will come of it.
The concensus of those present
was that the boys had better
been at school instead of hunt

if they live long enough to be-
come sensible of their misery.

The following story ONE from Bel
GUM:
Two fellow travellers got into con.
versation and came upon the subject
of free luggage, when one asked leave
to measure the others trunk. The re-
suit was that the measurer said:
"Your trunk is seven and a half cen
timeters too long and has no right to
b0 in the compartment of free luggage.
I am a railway inspector, and must
fine you five francs. Please give me
your name and address,"
The proposed victim of misplaced
confidence was, however, equal to the
occasion.
Kindly lend me your measure, that
I may satisfy myself on the subject
Then. with a polite smile, Il am a di.
rector in the royal weights and meas
ures Office. To my great regret ]
notice that your measure is not
stamped, as required by law. SO that,
firstly, your measuring is not legally
valid, and secondly, it is my painful
duty to subject you to a fine of fifty
francs. Please give me your name
and address"

DastardlY Deed.

It was no fault of the miscreant who
attempted the destruction of the new
house of Corrine Holmes in Fargo that
his designs were not carried out. The
dynamite went off as he had planned,
but the building stands but little the
worse for the rough handling. The
dynamite was set off by a fuse leading
from the house toward the river for a
distance of about so feet. A man fa-
miliar with the workings of fuses and
dynamite, on looking over the pieces
of fuse found, expressed his opinion
that the fuse had burned at the rate
of a foot per minute. At that rate
the miscreant had 80 minutes in which
to make his escape.
