No Pipe Line Wanted

Many of our intelligent farmers
are looking at this gas piping propo-
sition in the proper manner.
They realize that it is hard blow
to the towns in the belt for the gas
10 60 out, and they also realize that
The larger the town they live near
tie more valuable becomes their
farms and everything they raise.
They likewise begin to realize that q
pipe line will soon draw away their
gas and cut the value of their farms
in the middle.
1t would be better for the farmer
to wait little while for a market
for his gas than give it to the Mis-
souriens and get nothing and i'm
poverish his market town besides.

Crushing Effectof Low Tariffs

The Melbourne Gage" in its
issue of October II takes gloomy
view of the Tariff situation in Aus,
tralia as it concerns American com.
petition IN the manufacture of agri
cultural machinery. Laying the
blame on the friends of reduced
duties, it says:
"Those enemies of the farmer
who beat down the duty on agricult-
ural machinery to I2% per cent are
now being faced with the results of
their wrecking policy. Portions of
the Sunshine Harvester Works at
Ballarat have been temporarily
closed, between 500 and GOO hands
have lost their employment, and
plant to the value of about 30, 900
pounds has been thrown out of
gear. This is by no means the first
blast of ruin that has nipped Aus
ralian industry through opening
the door 10 unrestricted competi
ton. Unless the Tariff be amended
another will speedily follow, and it
will be the more devastating in its
consequences.
"The Americans, who allow nc
outside competition in their own
home market, will take entire pos
session of the Australian agricult-
ural machinery trade, Australian in
dustries will be shut down, and the
farmer and every one else engagec
upon the soil will be compelled tC
pay exorbitant prices for machinery
and imple ments of inferior foreign
manufacture.
''It is absurd to say that a NOR
comprehensive and higher dut
would raise the price of the har
vesters to the retail buyers. TIL
makers state that with adequat
Protection, which would leave Aus
tralian market to Australian con-
petitors, it would be possible b
reason of the increased trade an
the reduced expense of selling t.
supply the machine at lower rat
than now. In America and Ger
many, where Protective duties ar
highest, agricultural machinery i
supplied more cheaply to the farm
ers than it is anywhere else. y

Boston's Sad Experience

Many people In Boston who had
invested in Lake Superior copper
mines before the Civil war were
dissatisfied with the Morrill, duty of
M cents per pound. The best
thought OF that city, being fully
conversant with the Manchester
theory of political economy, knew
that any duty laid on foreign cop
per would be added, or more than
added, to the price of the home pro-
duct, and joined the NOR sordid
element in a determined and per-
sistent agitation for higher duty
an effort which was rewarded IN
1868 by duty of S cents per
pound.
The impossible then happened.
The price of copper, which in 1866,
when the agitation for higher duty
commenced, averaged 3IM cents
per pound, fell. 1t fell to an aver
age of az 3-S cents per pound in
1871. 1t did this persistently and
wickedly, while our Free-Trade
papers were proclaiming that this
prohibitive Tariff was destroying
our copper industry. During these
FIVE years our production of copper
increased from 5000 tons 10 49,
600 tons.
But the intellect of Boston was
lost TO the cause of Protection.
Protection had been tried and found
to be delusion per sc, and snare
for the money of the pure. From
that day to this its cry has been for
Reform. Economist.

IT HAS FALLEN
Port Arthur After Many Months or HaT0
FIgkting Falls to the Japs

After nearly year of almost
incessant fighting about Port Arthur,
the Japs are at last victorious and
are now in full possession of all the
forts about the city, together with
their aImaments and all munitions
of war not destroyed. 1t has been
one of the most remarkable sieges
of history, ancient or modern.
Port Arthur was rendered as
nearly impreguable as Russian skill
and money could make it. The
natural features of the country
about the Port render it capable OF
being made a wonderfully strong
fortress, and right we'll did the
Russians take advantage of the
natural features of the country.
Every eminence was capped with
a fort the strong masonary of whose
walls was almost impcnatrable and
every fort in the great chain was
mounted with full complement OF
the latest artillery manned by the
flower of the Russian army and
navy.
The Russian force that defended
these forts was estimated at 40 to
90, 900 men, furnished with every
known means of defense. Russia
had fortified Port Arthur with a
view of ever maintaining footholo
on the cost and Port Arthur was to
be the strong hold. No expense
was spared on the defenses of land
or harbor. Millions of dollars were
spent in making of this place what
was seemingly, an impregna nable
fortress. The forts about the Port
were manned armed and provis 'oned
for long siege.
1t was thought the Japs had al
most an impossible task before them
when they marched against these
Notifications. About a year ago
the Japs began their march against
Port Arthur. The outer guards
we're driven in and the siege began
in earnest. There has scarcely been
a let up since it began. 1t has been
one continuous round of cannon
ade and assault. The Japs have
swarmed up these steep hillsides
against wlihenng fire that moved
them down like grass. Repulse
after repulse met them but still they
stayed and still they came. The
whole mountain sides ran rivulets
of bood, and the ground was strewn
with the dead and dying in many
places piled four or five deep, but
still the Japs kept coming. Breeches
were blown into the walls of the
forts and quickly filled with s~arms
of Japs.
The rapid fire guns of the Rus
SLAMS scattered them like leaves but
still they came, they filled the
breeches, they cllmed over the
battlements and encasements, they
surrounded the big Slav gunners

Protection Pays the Farmer

Protection Pays the Farmer
The movement of wheat eastward
from this State is a new thing, al
least on such scale as is seen now.
1t is due to the fact the American |
price of wheat is far above the
exporting price. Wheat is actually
worth considerably more in the
United States than it is in Europe
Argentina wheat is offered to the
English market at IS cents a bushel,
less than American wheat can be
put there, at the present price pre-
vailing in this country. A shori
crop In the area which supplies the
millers of the Middle West has
made them look to this State for an
additional supply, and as the price
which they offer is based on Chicago
quotations instead of those of Liver
pool, the exporters on this coast
cannot compete with the Eastern
buyer.
Seventy cents for club wheat and
IS cents for bluestem are the marke t
quotations at the whea: shipping
points in the Palouse country and
in other centers of the wheat In
dustry in this State. This is a price
about twice as high as the price OF
eight years ago, when the country
was IN the midst of a previous ma
tional campaign. At that time the
price was based upon the Liverpool
quotations. The country had to
export such an enormous share of
its crop that the foreign market
price had to be accepted. 1t had
to export so much because hard
times had reduced home consump-
ton.
Today the American market sets
the price, for the American market
is growing toward the point where
it can absorb nearly all the crop.
The per capita consumption of -four
has grown enormously since 1896.
The average consumption In the
United States is SO per cent greater
now than it was eight years ago,
and, making no allowance for In
creased population, the American
market therefore absorbs so per
Get more wheat than the same mar
ket did then.
Democrats repeat, parrot-like,
the old story that the farmerrecelves
no benefit from Protection; that the
home market does not interest him,
because the price of his product is
fixed by the foreign market. Here
is his object lesson to the direct
contrary. The American working
man is so prosperous that he con-
sumes so per cent. more flour than
he did eight years ago. The Amer
ican market for wheat is so good
that the American price is higher
than the foreign price. There will
be no wheat to sell to the foreign |
market until the needs of the Amer.
lean market are fully supplied, and
by that time, if they need our wheat,
as they doubtless will, the foreign
markets will have to come up to the
American figures. This is how
Protection is paying the Washing
ton farmer this year.-Seattle 'Post-

before they knew they were in
danger. After repeated charges
and much loss of life the Japanese
resorted to regular siege tactics,
advancing by zigzag bitches right
up to the walls of the forts and then
tunnelling under the walls ann
blowing them to smithereens with
dynamite. The latter method was
slower but surer and very much
safer.
For weeks the supply Of provis
ions and ammunition has been very
short on the Russian side and the
soldiers have suffered intensely
The last week of the siege has led
the Russians a rather strenuous life.
Weakened by want of proper food
yet on duty and the fire line con
stantly, night and day for five days.
No rest, no sleep, scarcity of water
and little to eat, still they hung on
with bulldog tenacity and continued
to fight till tired and outraged ma
ture could stand no more and the
Russian soldier was found standing
asleep in his tracks.
Then if the final charge had come
he would have passed from dreamland
to glory. Justwhen everything was
ready when the Russians had been
absolutely exhausted by the five
days and nights constant lombard
m ent and the time for the line up of
the assaulting column had come,
the obstinate and heartless Stoessel
yieldt d to h -entrea les of his officers
and allowed his men to surrender
rather than be bayonetted in their
helplessness.
To the Japs it is a glorious vic
tory and to the Russians brilliant
defense. The Russians have lost
that which has cost them years Of
labor and many millions of money
aud their only available harbor for
all seasons on the coast. The Japs
have won the harbor for war pur-
poses, and captured the remnant of
the garrison with all their guns and
equipments. The cost to the Japs
has been something fearful. The
expense has been almost enough to
bankrupt nation while the loss of
life is simply appalliny. Probably
fifty to sixty thousand men were
killed in the various engagements
and thousands more wounded.
The navy of Russia has been
destroyed but the delay in the
capture of Port Arthur caused by
Stoessels determined defense has
enabled Russia to reinforce Kuro-
patkin and get in better shape for
war.
