Devastating the Forest.

The timber In the United States is
melting away like the snow in spring,
yet our Republican politicians refuse
to abolish the tariff on lumber. To
show how suicidal this standpat policy
is, the statistlcians declare that there
is only now standing in the United
States approximately 1,475,OOO,OOO 900
feet of lumber and that 45,OOO,OOO, 600
feet are being cut every year. 1t is es-
timated that enough timber is de-
stroyed by fire or used for other pur-
poses to make the total consumption
"a, OOO,O 100000 feet annually, so that
there is not enough timber standing to
continue commercially for more than
twenty years. And vet with this dearth
staring them in the face the people of
the United States continue a policy that
prevents them by tariff restrictions
from drawing on the timber supply Of
Canada and other countries.

Deceiying the Voters.

DeceivinE the Voters,
The large number of Republican
farmers in the Western States that re.
pudiated the candidates of their party
for Congress shows that it does not
pay for politicians to try to deceive the
people. So many important statements
set forth as facts in the Republican
campaign book have been shown to he
pure fiction that 1t will be difficult to
get the farmers, at least, to give any
credence to Republican statements in
the future. The evidence of another
attempt Of the Protective Tariff
League, through its organ, the Ameri-
can Economist, to deceive the Repub-
lican voters has been discovered when
1t quoted part of tile speech of Rep.
resentative McCleary, of Minnesota. in
which he declared that wheat was sell.
ing for 10 or 20 cents bushel more
on the American side of the border
than on the Canadian side. OF course,
he credited this purely Imaginative ad-
vantage of the American farmer to the
tariff duty of % cents bushel on
wheat provided for in the sacred Ding
ley law. The facts prove that the price
of wheat on each side of the lnterna-
tional border has been about the same
all this season.
Mr.. j. e. Bouvette, editor of the
Kittson County Enterprise, published
at Hallock, Mimi, the nearest town of
Importance to the Canadian border,
was asked to investigate the price of
wheat, and he furnishes the following
evidence:
Robert Miller, Esq, Washington, ID. c.:
Dear Sir-Herewith inclose letter
from Fl. HUFFMAN, of Manitou, Man., just
across the Canadian border from this
place. Mr.. HUFFMAN is buyer for the
Lake of the Woods Milling and Elevator
Co. You will observe that Mr.. HUFFMAN
quotes the highest price paid this sea-
son, some time in the latter part of
September, at So cents, while the lowest
was 81 cents, or an average of SO cents.
Mr.. A. N. Holmer. buyer for the I'm
perial Elevator Co., of this place, quotes
the highest figures paid per bushel for this
season, at 65 cents. on Aug. 90, and the
lowest at 59h cents. Yours, etc.,

Money Circulation.


Although there is more money in cir
culation than ever before, yet every
financial center reports a tightness in
the money market and high Interest
rates prevailing. The Treasurer Of the
United States, in his report published
Oct. 80, says the circulation on Oct.
was $2,S12, 133,694, or a per capita Of
$33.0S. In the last three months the
circulation increased $72,4S7, O66, and
yet the frenzied financiers of Wall
street are bowling for more money, and
our obliging Secretary Of the Treasury
has loaned them without charging in
terest all the surplus cash in the treas
ury, except just enough to pay the i'm
mediate expenses Of the government.
This money the banks are loaning ut
the high rates of interest prevailing, SO
there is fine profit In the transaction
for them in having this free use of the
peoples money, which Shaw is so gen
erous with.
The question naturally arises, why
Is money so scarce when the volume In
circulation has increased over so per
cent in the last ten years? The chief
reason is because the surplus money
in the banks mostly finds its way to
Wall street, where 1t naturally CRAWL
tates in consequence of the better rates
1t will bring than at other points. Wall
street is rat hole through which all
the spare money in the country can be
absorbed. There is now awaiting
favorable money market hundreds Of
millions Of new issues of stock and
bonds by railroads and Industrial cor
porations, and the prospect for cheap
money is very far in the future.

The Price of wheat.


The export shippers Of grain at Chi

roads refuse to accept grain for ship
ment from Buffalo to New York, Bos-
ton and Philadelphia, or contract Tor
Its future transportation. The railroads
claim they have not cars enough to
move grain, but the shippers declare 1t
is all scheme to hold back grain at
Chicago and other western points until
navigation on the lakes Is closed for
the winter. Then the railroads can
take their time in transporting 1t at
the advanced freight rates which In
varlably go into effect after navigation
closes
This is bad news for the wheat grow
ers, for it will probably force down the
price Of wheat, which is already too
low for profit. 1t may also lead to the
loss of market for large quantities of
wheat, which would be bought by Eng
lish buyers If delivered In advance OF
the Argentine crop, which begins to
move in January. The price OF wheat
is now but from 90 to GO cents to the
grower at the local markets, and
further decline in price will be dis
aster to many growers that have bills
to meet based on the high prices OF
what they have purchased.

the price of wheat was Is or 20 cents
higher on the American side Of the line
than In Manitoba, and reads long
lecture to prove that the tariff on
wheat protects the American farmer.
As the price Of wheat everywhere
has been declining in consequence Of
worldwide good crops, while the tariff
protected products of the trusts have
been advancing in price, so that Brad
street reports for October that the cost
of living has advanced nearly 80 per
cent since 1897, the year the present
Republican tariff law was enacted. So
the American farmer is selling his
wheat and other products at the
worlds prices, in free competition with
other countries having a surplus to dis
pose of, and is purchasing all that he
needs to buy at the exorbitant price
the trusts are enabled to obtain
through tariff protection. Thus the
old demand Of the farmers that they
be allowed to buy in the cheapest mar
ket and sell their products in the dear
est markets has been reversed, to their
evident and great disadvantage, by the
Republican system OF protectionism.
