Standards Of Living.

Some nervous persons who are vast
ly alarmed for the ability of this coun~
try to compete in foreign markets,
have declared that this cannot be done
while the American workingman con-
tinues to live at his present standard
of comfort and comparative luxury.
Nothing could be more fatuous than
such an argument, says the Spokesman
Review. Not only have high standards
of living enjoyed by the laborers in the
United States result of general ma
tional prosperity, but they are essen
tial to the productive power of our
workingmen and to their ability to
compete with the lower paid labor Of
other lands.
The fact that the American work
man turns out larger product than
his European competitor is one of the
truisms of statistics. This is due to
divers causes. Higher intelligence, the
result of better elementary and indus
trial education, OF reading and travel,
is one of these. But the most import
ant of all is the fact that he is better
fed, better clothed and better housed.
Indeed, the whole matter may be
summed up in the fact that he enjoys
higher standard of living, for educa-
ton for himself and his children. It
includes the ability to command books
and periodicals, the facilities for self
education. All these combine to make
the average American workman the
most intelligent in the world. Hence
to greater extent than the foreign
workman and therefore to produce
greater results, in many cases at the
same or lower cost.
Upon this subject some valuable fig
ures collected by Professor Sombart of
Breslau in comparison of German with
American standards, are particularly
suggestive. He points out that the
average American workingman's family
occupies five rooms, while the German
has to be content with two. The
American family spends SIG annually
for clothing, the German 1872 to S54.
The American workingman's house
hold food bill is greater in the same
proportion than the Germans. His
"folks" not only eat more meat and
white bread-few German workingmen
have either in good quantity and quail
ity-but they eat more fruit, coffee, tea
sugar and pastry.
The ability of the American work
ing man to provide his family with
Injuries such as these is closely inter
woven with our national prosperity.
Take away this ability, and you take
away the demand that consumes a vast
share of agricultural products aud
keeps busy half the mills and factories
in the country. You also take away in
large measure his means of educa-
ton, his margin of saving and much of
the material basis for his independ-
ence end self respect. Would such de-
privations leave American workers the
same Intelligent, resourceful, inventive
masters of machinery they now are?
No thoughtful person can believe this
for moment.

Hepburn relative to forest reserves
in Idaho, and which position is
endorsed by the people Of the state,
has been misrepresented in many
quarters, and especially by the
bureau clerks Of the forestry de-
partment. The Standpoint News
gives the following fair and in
formed statement Of the matter:
"Some Of the papers of the cen
trail and northern part of the state
are stretching the matter pretty far
when they accuse Senator Hepburn
of opposing the forest reserve pol
icy of Chief Forester Pinchot on
Interior motives. Living as we do
in the timber belt Of Idaho and in
q county where there are more
acres of forest reserve than in any
other county, we speak advisedly
when we say that Senator Hepburn
is taking the stand he does in this
matter for the reason that it is not
to the best interest of his constitu-
ency that such large acreage of
this section of the state be placed
in reserves. The News knows from
coming in contact with the masses
of the people of this northern end
of the state that the placing of such
a large acreage of this section in
forest reserves meets the disapprov-
al Of the people and that Senator
Hepburn has hundreds of good,
honest, conscientious settlers back
ing him up i'll the stand he is TAX
ing. The creating of forest reserves
IN the southern part of the state
may be all right, as from what the
News has been able to learn of that
section the timber is not very val
liable, and the land, if it were
cleared, would not be Of any value
for agricultural purposes, while by
retaining the scrubby growth Of
pine on the mountains in that sec
tion the SHOWS can be held until
later in the season and thus afford
more water for irrigation.
'Now, while that condition Of
affairs may exist in southern Ida
no, it is different in this section of
the state. The timber here is of
the finest quality of white pine and
cedar and after the same is removed
the land is thea best in the whole
state for agricultural purposes,
raising small grain, hay, fruits and
vegetables in profnsion. Then
again, irrigation is not needed in
this section of the state. SO that the
removing of the timber would not
injure any one in any way, but on
the other hand would result in the
country being settled up with a
thrifty class of farmers This be-
ing the case, why should not Sena-
tor Hepburn, living as he does in
the northern part of the state. take
the stand he has against the plac-
ing ofall this vast wealth of timber
and rich agricultural land into re-
serves and blocking the develop
ment of the richest section of the
state? Right in Kootenai county
there are thousands of acres of the
finest farming land in the whole
northwest already tied up in the
Priest river reserve. Not alone is
timber land tied up but there are
thousands Of acres Of choice mea-
dow land in this reserve which if it
could be entered under the home
stead laws, would soon be devel-
oped into rich farms and hundreds
of families would make their homes
there and help to build up the
northern part Of the state. AS we
said at the outset, Senator Hey
burn is making the fight he is
against the creation of so many

Cuban Djarrh0ea.

U. S. soldiers who served in CGba
during the Spanish war know what
this disease is, and that ordinary
remedies have little more effect than
so much water. Cuban diarrhOea is
almost as severe and dangerous as a
mild attack of cholera. There is one
remedy, however, that can always be
depended upon as will be seen by
the following certificate from Mrs.
Minnie Jacobs of Houston, Texas:
81 hereby certify that Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and DiarrhOea Remedy
cured my husband of a severe attack
of Cuban disrrhoea, which he
brought home from Cuba. We had
several doctors but they did him no
good. One bottle of this reDedy
cured him, as our neighbOrs will
testify. I thank God for so valuable
a medicine" For sale by all Drug

is now finding it's way into the
new issue Of municipal and county

entiro list of ratified Acts "a relate

General Assembly Doings.

The last bill on the House Cal~
endar bore tho No. GIL and in
brackets the letters S.. 422. This
meant that during the Legislative
session just ended that there were
GAL propositions submitted to the
House, and that there We're 1872 mat
ters considered by the Senate. Of
course q great many of these are
duplicates; that is, when q meas-
ure passes the Senate and is sent to
the House, or vice versa, 1T receives
new number, or whenever dup.
icate propositions are presented
in the House and Senate each
branch has it's individual number.
But altogether moro than u thous-
and propositions were considered.
These numbers include concurrent
resolutions and other matters that
have to lie considered by both
| branches.
1t would be entirely safe to fig.
ure that there were five hundred
separate and distinct bills proposed
making due allowance for dupli
Gates and renumbering on either
side.
OF this number 1893 bills and reso
lutions will find their way to thu
statute books of the State. The
greater number We're continued un
til next session, and the remaind del
were either killed outright or with
drawn to be spared that fate.
AS previously stated there ha
been practically no affirmative leg
islatlon, The most important mat
ter really enacted was the provision
for two new circuit Judg es and the
arrangement for the necessary
machinery for the two new Cir
cults.
Next in Importance to this per
haps wos the screwing up of tn
primary election law and following
this was the liberal disposition to
wards industrial enterprises, .sucl
as water.power Companies ant

GOOD RESULTS.

zone thing can be said In favor OF
the city administration: - they are
certainly doing something; they are
securing good results"
This remark was made the other
day by business man Of extensive
experience In city affairs, as he stood
watching the force OF men laying fine
granolithic curb and gutter along the
north side Of High street. And 80
says The Democrat. They deserve
communication for the good work
which they are doing. But we will
urge them on to further good results.
AS the best cement sidewalks are
superior to board walks, so IL the
best method OF matchmaking superior
TO any street work ever attempted In
Mineral Point. In addition TO the
present stone crushing plant the city
needs u steam roller TO get the best
results In street work. While we
insist on this point, VIC accord the
mayor and councilmen credit for the
work which they are having done on
streets and sidewalks. Citizens gem
orally should not withhold word Of
praise. There Is generally too much
faultfnding. II adverse criticism Is
offered, IL should be offered only with
n view OF stirring the city authorities
up to what they arc now doing Sc
curing good results.
