ton by opening the ballot
boxes. 1t would never have
done to have permitted the
contents of those boxes to
have been made public. The
court was not unanimous.
Two out of seven judges were
in favor of opening the ballot
boxes and making a thorough
investigation, SO it is clearly
seen that it depends on who
occupies the bench as to
what is and what is not law
full. But there will be an
awakening. Whenever there
is fraud and trickery in cleo
tions the people will rise in
their might and turn the
thieves out sooner or later in
spite of the courts.

THE LABORER AND THE TARIFF.

The United States passes tariff laws
to protect our laborers from the ''pau-
per labor" of Europe. Each nation of
continental Europe passes tariff laws
to protect" its laborers from the "pau
per labor" of some other state.
Where is this "pauper labor" any.
howp
Europe says it's here, and America
says it's there.
The truth is, the laborer IS a pauper
in both places, and it is the tariff which
chains him to the very mudsill.
The heart aud soul Of the tariff sys-
tenn is the monopoly of the home mark.
ct, which tariff gives to the protected
capitalists of each country.
Colbert was the French statesman
who fathered the modern tariff system.
He imposed duties upon foreign
goods for the purpose of giving the
home manufacturer the monopoly of
the home market.
10 claim that duties upon foreign
goods are laid for any other purpose
than to shut off competition with the
home manufacturer is the merest bosn.
In England laborer gets a larger
share of what he produces in the mills
han is paid to the laborer here.
n ic
while ours glories in the highest tariff
duties ever known in the history of
mankind.
All over continental Europe labor re-
ceives less than in England; yet each
nation of continental Europe has its
tariff duties to protect its laborers,
while England has none.
If the tariff is such a good plan to
protect the American laborer from the
onslaught of the Canadian, Mexican or
European laborers, why would not it
be good thing for each state to adopt
tariff so as to protect" the laborers
of each from the competition of the
others?
Aud if it would be well to protect our
laborers by states, why not protect
them by counties?
Why shouldn't each county shut ont
the competition of every other county:
This reasoning is of course absurd
put the argument for the entire system
Is quilt upon that sort of logic and no
other.-Tom Watson in his Magazine

Gov. Hoch in a speech al

Gov. Hoch in a speech at
a republican blowout in Otta.
wa last week, said if some
thing isn't done to check and
curb the trusts right away
the country will be over
whelmed by socialism. But
the governor supplemented
this declaration by saying
that the republican party can
be depended upon to meet the
emergency. That looks
pretty much like the vapor-
ings of a demagogne. All
the trusts between the shores
grew up and operated under
republican laws and admins
traitors. The republican
party is the creator and the
trust system is the creature.
For almosta score of years we
have been assured that the
republican party will take
care of the situation and vet
the producers and consumers
here in the dawn of the new
century find themselves more
firmly in the clutches of the
monster than ever before.
Year after year the masses
have had the republican
promise and year after year
they elected republican presi.
dents and congresses only to

concentrated wealth. AS
long as the American people
look to the republican party
for protection from graft and
greed, that long they will be
buncoed.
