THE SHOE PINCHES THERE
Point in Protective Tariff That Is
Perfectly Plain to the Work
ingman.

Suppose that to please Gov. Guild
and eX-GCy. Douglas and our manu-
facturers of boots and shoes We
should repeal the duty on hides, says
the American Economist We should
also, of course, at the same time re-
peal the duty on boots and shoes
That having been done, our market
would be open to the product OF for
eign countries, and in a very short
time there would be an inundation OF
footwear into this country against
which our own manufacturers would
have to compete. In order to meet
this importation and be able to sell
boots and shoes in our own market in
competition with those from abroad
it would be necessary to make them
as cheaply. The cost of material be-
ing the same in both countries, there
would remain nothing to bring about
equality in the cost of production eX-
cept wages. The consequence would
be, the wages of all the people in this
country engaged in making boots and
shoes would have to go down to the
level of wages abroad, which is about
half the amount now paid here. This
result would be most unfortunate n
itself, but there would be other ef-
fects to follow. There are at pres
ent considerably over 100000 people
engaged in making boots and sho -,
and the purchasing power of these
people would at once be cut in hall.
In many towns and villages boot and
shoe making is the only occupation OF
a large portion of the people. To cut
in half the wages Of the people would
mean the large diminution of their
trade with all classes of the Commu-
nifty. This would be reflected in buy
ing the merchandise of others, so that
the result would be far spreading. 1t
would be well to consider seriously
before taking the duty off from hides
and boots and shoes-to estimate thor.
oughly this matter of reduction of
wages.

NOTHING LIKE A BARGAIN.
This Country Will Continue to Con-
troll It's Tariff and Ad-
ministration.

Although the concession is but for
that by next year at this time perma-
nent arrangement will be made, and
that it VIII not be as the result of a
fake reciprocity treaty or any otner
concession or agreement by virtue OF
which we lose control of the provisions
of our tariff laws or the methods of
their administration, says the San
Francisco Chronicle.
Appearances indicate that the Ger
man government is about ready to ac-
cept in its dealings with us the Ameri-
can principle of impartial trade. We
give to Germany in most cases and
should give it all the benefit of our
Dingley rates, which are our minimum
rates. In return we expect Germany's
minimum rates, and if we do not get
them we shall have to create some
maximum rates for the benefit of Ger
many and some other countries.
good many preposterous stories have
got into print as to certain things
which the president" was to do for
Germany ION the quiet" in return for
the concession of her minimum rate
to us. One was to the effect that thj
president was to instruct our delegate;
to the Algeciras conference to side witt
Germany against France. Another
equally absurd, was to the effect that
the president was to instruct the
treasury officials to shut their eyes 70
undervaluations of German cOmmOdi'

Reciprocal Tariff leag"e was preparing
to 90 into every doubtful district in the

protectionist majority in the lower

would control action in favor of wide
open reciprocity in competitive prod
uCts and an all-round revision of the
Dingley schedules. Germany's mwill-
iugness to begin hostilities has changed
the situation. II gives reciprocity a
serious setback and leaves the reyi-

 Rain, which had been threatening some time, began to fall and the crowd with one accord began to sing, Showers of Blessing"

She is on his side tonight, and always has been. The lust in her heart for power is as great as his. I say the whole Dowie family must be swept of the earth
 This statement was roundly ap- plauded. Continuing, Voliva said: For years that family has sucked the blood cut of this people to satisfy their lust for fine clothes and to make . showing.

CONCERNING
 TALL BUILDINGS.

The question of safety in the con struction of large buildings is project ed sharply by the calamity at San Francisco. In Los Angeles the Ques- tion has been under discussion for months. Discussing this question in the light of the recent earthquake, the Herald further says:
 Not only the matter of height, but the strength and comparative destruc- tibility by fire of various materials heve been considered. The city coun- cil, inc building department. the fire insurance underwriters and leading contractors have expressed their views freely on the subject.
 Tt is now appropriate to consider what light has been cast upon this i'm portant subject by San Franciscos appalling experience. In the first place, does that experience lead to the the conclusion that tall structures are exceptionally liable to damage or de- struction from seismic causes? On the negative side of that proposition We have this statement in one of the early dispatches from San Francisco: 'Today's experience has been a testi- morial to the modern steel building. A score of these structures were in course of erection and not one of them suffered. The completed modern buildings also were immune from harm by earthquake. The buildings which collapsed were lflimsy wooden or old fashioned brick structures
 Tt remains to be seen how far that statement will be verified when all the facts are ohtainable. Assuming that it is only generally correct-that some exceptions may eppear ultimate ly-it is evident that the so-called modern steel building is a close ap- preach to being earthquake proof, What is here called s.eel puiidfng atA.s.s TOT either steel frame with brick or stone, or else concrete rein forced with steel There are conspic- "OoS SA-AiPASS oi bOIh hIHuS III LcS Angeles.
 ''in regard to the liability Of confia- grafton. there surely is greater danger in a tall building than in a low one. assuming that the two are equally destructible by fire. No fire extin- gushing apparatus can be effective at the top of modern skyscraper. On the other hand, however. the modern steel and concrete, or the steel and brick building is as nearly fireproof as is allowable in the purposes for which the structure is erected.

 Estters were read in church by Father Dhe last night which stigma tized Larmoyeaux and deny him the sarcraments of the church until he makes a personal apology to Father Die. It is also stated that Larmoy- eaux made a personal appeal to the Bishop of Alderling, but the bishop stated in letter that he had signally failed to prove any of the charges and had committed a grave mistake against the priesthood and the church.
 At the conclusion of the services a paper was placed at the door, which all the members of the church pres ent signed, approving of the action of the bishop. While the letters were being read there was great excitement among the memberss of the church and weeping and sobbing by the wo- men and children.

A QUESTION OF SERIOUS MOMENT.

Says the Santa Fe New Mexican: The remarkable message sent to Congress by President Roosevelt Wed nesday was overshadowed by the sad and horrible tidings from San Fran cisco, but in some respects this mes sage is epoch-making. It fo-eshadows conflict between the legislative and judiciary branches of the government and, if this goes to any length il will shake the very foundations of this government This may be an extreme view to take, but thus far the public has looked up to the judiciary as the strongest bulwark against the en- croachments of tyranny on one side and anarchy on the other, and even a president of the IIuited States ought to hesitate before he makes an open assault upon the system which has thus far served its purpose SO well and which the fathers of the republic very wisely set to guard over the then new ly acquired liberties. of the nation.
 'The conclusion seems to be reached therefore, that strength and fireproof qualities in building are of greater importance than the question of height. The San Francisco experience confirms that conclusion. Bringing the proposition home to Los Angeles the lesson seems to teach that our tall modern buildings are much safer from both fires and earthquakes than the lower buildings which are not down to date in methods of construc- tion."

BiSBEE HAS DONE HER SHARE.

When the first announcement came over the wires of the terrible and un- precedented disaster which had befal- len the Queen City of the Pacific Coast, Bisbee, together with every other city in Arizona and the United States, met the call for relief and as sistance in a manner in keeping with the liberal spirit which is a part of the Western men and women to a marked degree. So long as there was an intimation that more funds and supplies were needed in San Francisco Bisbee was ready, and is still willing, to meet her proportion of the call. but later dispatches from the devastated city show that there are ample funds and supplies to meet all demands. Never in the history of the world has there been such a ready and generous response for aid and relief. Tie relief funds reached into the millions, and train load after train load of supplies have been re- ceived, and are being received daily at Oakland.
 The announcement of an entertain ment at the Opera House next week the proceeds to be sent to San Fran cisco for the relief of the sufferers. we believe is unnecessary and is further call upon our liberal citizens for donations which are not needed. The entertainment should be abandon ed. The necessity for further dona- tions from Bisbee for this cause does not exist. Bisbee has done her part and done it nobly and with a gener- ous heart. San Franciscos cup of relief and succor is full and running over, and further call upon BIsbee peo- pie for additional contributions would be an unnecessary imposition
