THE PROTECTED TRUST.
Answer Of The Minneapolis Journal
to The Winona Republican.

The Winona Republican, Herald says:
at is remarkable the flimsy arguments
used by the twin city press against the
tariff when there are so many sound
reasons to be offered for revision" and
then goes on to belabor The journal
for its editorial comment on the recent
speech made by Mr.. Rainey in the house,
showing how American watches can be
bought abroad, imported and sold at 10
to % per cent less than watches OF the
same description, from the same fac
tories, which have never been abroad, can
be bought by the domestic purchaser.
If the Herald knows of so many bet
ter reasons than the twin city papers
have been able to give for tariff revision,
why doesn't it trot them out The Her.
aid thinks the selling of American
watches abroad at so per cent of the
price charged the American consumer
is all right because it enables the Am
erican factory to dispose of its surplus
and thus keep its employees at work.
That argument has a familiar sound,
1t is the one which is always used to
back up the eXtortions of trust when
the tariff protects it from outside com
petition. What about the sale of steel
rails by the United States Steel com
pany in Canada at 80 to 40 per cent less
than the price demanded of the railroads
on the American side? Are there any
conditions of life in Canada so different
from those in America that would JUS
tify discrimination of that kind? Is it
likely that the trust would sell its rails
cheaper i'm Canada than in the states if
it were not obliged to do so by competi-
ton?
The theory of the protective tariff is
that it will produce competition, and in
that way reduce the cost of the Dimes
tic article to a reasonable figure. When
the domestic production becomes mono
polized, competition is dead, and one of
the most important objects of the pro-
tective tariff has been missed entirely.
The protective tariff exists not alone
for the benefit of the manufacturer and
his employees, but for the benefit of the
consumer as we'll. 1t is the consumer
who makes the sacrifice in order to give
the manufacturer his advantage, but he
does it on the theory that in the long
run by reason of increased market for
his own products and by competition
between the domestic Industries he will
be able to buy the domestic product at
a reasonable price. The trouble is that
the protective principle and the trust
principle, taken together, do not work
well for the general public. The origin
ators of the protective principle did not
know anything about the trust. If they
had they would have been careful not to
make the protective system an aid to
successful trust xtortion.-Minneapo

BUREAU ESTABLISHED
 IN B|SBEE
Local Merchants Form 0rgani- zation For the Transaction of Their Business With Pub lie Service Corporations.

That their organization has for its end the betterment of commercial con- ditions in the city, and the obtaining of better service from public service corporations where defects occur in that service is demonstrated by the latest movement of the local Board of Trade in establishing what they have termed freight bureau" The object of this new department is to transact for ,all members of the
 Board of Trade theig business with the railroad and express companies in the matter of overcharges, losses. dam ages and any other matters incidental to the shipping phase of their busi- ness.
 The members of the organization l feel that they can obtain better ser vice in these matters by placing them in the hands of a we'll informed rail
 road man who is familiar with the
 methods which it is necessary to pu: sue to obtain relief, than if they each,
 as in the past use a great deal of time in transacting this business. The freight bureau will transact business for those who have subcribed to the fund for the maintenance of the fund
 for the maintenance of the organiza- ton.
 This is matter which has been oc- cupying the attention of the Board of Trade for some time past, and has just been placed on an operative basis. J. P. Christian, for the past several years claim agent for the Copper Queen company and probably one of the most competent men in this line of business to be found in this section of the country, has been retained by the Board of Trade to take full charge of the freight bureau.
 Christian has had years of expert ence in the claim department of rail road. having been employed by the
 Rock Island for nine years, and the
 Missouri Pacific for three years prior
 to coming to Bisbee, where he has
 made an enviable reputation for him.
 self by the excellent discharge of his
 duties.
 The offices of the Freight Bureau
 will be in rooms 9 and Il in the Jacob
 Schmidt building, over the postoffice.
 Up to the present time thirty-six merchants of the city have signified their intention of subscribing to the ne reorganization.
 The establishment of this Freight Bureau is but another step in the di- rection of making Bisbee the distribut- ing center for southern Arizona and Sonora, which is bound to come at no distant day.

PULLS TEETH WITH
 PAIR OF GAS TONGS
SIav Would Not Wait Until the Dentist Reached Office,
 Submits to New Method,

There is a Slovenian in the city who Jays claim to the distinction of being the only man in Arizona who has ever had a tooth pulled by means of a pair of gas tongs, and he is proud of the distinction. The manner in which the Slav came into the honor forms a peculiar tsory.
 After a very busy day one of the local dentists retired to the rear of a drug store to play pinochle with few friends to see who would buy the soda water, and had just got comfortably settled when he was called to the tele- phone. Some one who was evidently in terrible agony was on the other end of the line, and was wailing So with pain that the dentist could not under stand him, but told him to come to the sa-, or rather drug store, and he would see him.
 In the course of few minutes a badly swoolen jaw came through the swinging door of the drug store, and was immediately followed by the own CT. a Slavonion. The dentist suspend ed the game of pinochle for a minute, and asked the one with the jaw what seemed to be the matter, and amid the walls of the suffering one was able to gather the intelligence that there was a very severe toothache in the neighborhood. He told the man to come with him. intending to take him to his office. but the Slav said that un- less he received immediate relief he would go crazy. Having a kind and tender heart the dentist inquired of the drug clerk if he possessed par of tongs, and In a few minutes pair of rusty gas tongs was fished up from an old tool chest which was under the mahogany.
 The Slav was placed in a chair, one of the pinochle players holding him. and the dentist finally succeeded in getting the tongs into his mouth The first attempt to pull the tooth did not budge il, and the dentist found 1t nc- cessary to place his foot against the patients chest to get a good brace. On the seventh yank the tooth came out. and it was discovered that the root was lonS enough 10 rSaCH t'iS Hi'h brain.
 overjoyed by the courteous treat ment he had received as wei as the re- lief the Slav asked how much the bill would be. and he was told $5' which he paid promptly, and went on his way rejoicing, while the dentist re- turned to his game of pinochle, and delivered discourse on the magnan- imity of the dental profession.
 Being of modest and retiring dis position the dentist asked that his name be withheld from publication.
