every tax upon consumption tends to i limit consumption, it must. precisely in the same proportion, tend to limit and discourage production, for 1t is the consumer alone who affords en- ployment to the producer. Therefore, when burdens are imposed upon the consuming public, to the same degree, and to the same extent shackles are put upon the productive forces of so- ciety. Whatever tends to restrict or diminish the demand for that which labor produces, also tends in the same degree to rob legitimate industry of its employment discourages labor and places a premium upon indolence.
 The tariff schedules were never higher than they are now. During the civil war the schedules were greatly advanced in order to compensate the manufacturers of the country for the internal revenue tax they had to pay. Although this internal revenue tax was taken off years ago. the manufac- turers by combining have had polit- ical and financial power enough to control the congress and have been able to defeat any just revision. An attack upon any part of the tariff schedules IS resisted by the entire list of protected monopolies. These mo- nopolies keep their paid agents in Washington infesting the halls of congress. Indeed, for many years congress has not legislated on the tar fir. but has simply ratified the sched
 ules handed in by the beneficiaries of the tariff"
 On the subject of the rights of the states. Governor Folk said:
 Another question the democratic party should make an issue is the right of the states in all matters not delegated to the federal government When the states came together in con vention to form a more perfect union each was as independent and sover- eign as Italy or Germany is today. For the common good and for the federal government. reserving, how ever. to the people of the states all powers not so delegated. The federal government derives its authority wholly from the people of the states. and beyond this express grant of au- thority and that necessarily implied from it it cannot justly go. The states are limited only by their constitutions and by the power conferred on the federal government. Many instances have arisen of late where the author ity of the states to make and enforce just and reasonable laws has been limited or taken away. The rule has always been that the presumption is in favor of the sovereign. Laws have always been presumed to be good un- til found to be bad. Under the new doctrine state statutes are suspended upon mere application of a railroad or some other interest until it is good or bad. The effect of this practice is to place in the hands of special interests power to veto any state legislation they do not like. The presumption is now reversed: Instead of being pre- stunned to be valid until found to be invalid, under this practice they are virtually held bad until determined

Boise. Sept 25.-The first sensation in the trial of United States Senator William E. Borah came late today, when Albert KlanOp Nugent. the sec ond witness produced by the govern ment, admitted on cross examination, that he had committed perjury in taking out his timber land claim and admitted that he had been promised absolute immunity by an officer of the federal government for testifying. He admitted that at the request of the federal officer. he had sworn to complaint against a man whom he did not know, and lastly. he proclaim ed that he believed it to be a part of the bargain for his immunity that he should swear to any complaint against any person regardless of any knOwl- edge he might have as to that per sons guilt. When the name of the federal officer who induced him to sign the complaint was asked by Senator Borah's counsel. the witness swore positively that he could not re- member it.
 The day was given over to the in- troduction of a mass of papers on file in the land offices here and at Boise, and to the evidence of two men who said they had received money from John R. Wells with which to prove up on timber land claims. Wells is one of the men indicted with Senator Bo- rah Counsel for the latter did not object to the testimony on the under standing that the transaction in ques- tion would ultimately be connected in some way with the senator.
 The defense scored the first point of the trial early in the examination of the first witness. a man named Anderson. He was asked by Special Prosecutor Rush, what his intention was when he took out his timber claim. Judge whitson who is presid- ing. sustained an objection based on the ground that man confessing to perjury as Anderson did, could not properly testify as to any secret in tent he may have locked up in his breast.
 Anderson and Nugent both testified that they had received from Jno. R. Wells s412 with which to prove up on claims and that each received s25O additional for transferring the claims to the Barber Lumber Co. interests. Two bills given the men by Wells. and a letter from Wells to Nugent were admitted in evidence. Anderson. an elderly Swede. was not cross examined. but Nugent admitted that he had made no agreement to transfer the claims at the time he filed them. He said there was never any thing but a verbal agreement and he could not remember where or in whose preseDce such a contract was made.
 Nugent said he witnessed the pa pers filed by Anderson and then he was confronted by the complaint sign ed by him charging Louis M. Pritch- ard with having conspired with An derson to get a title to the land. Nu- gent said he did not know any such person. or anything about his cOnnec- tion with the alleged land frauds. He declared that all he knew he read in some newspaper. a story to the effect that Pritchard was involved.
 Prosecutor Rush demanded to know the name of any officer of the gov ernment who ever asked him to swear falsely. Nugent replied that he had always been told to tell nothing but Rush said he had never heard of Nu-

where he was confined until in the
fall of 1902. He was then paroled and
returned to South Africa to bid fare
well to the land for which he had
fought in vain, to sever old ties, and
to gather together the little that be
ionged to him that had escaped the
general cataclysm. He was one of the
.'irreconcilables," steadfastly refusing
to accept amnesty at the price of
swearing allegiance to the king. A
few faithful followers, bound to him
ties of blood, elected to accompany
him into exile, and together they set
sail for the Land of Free, arriving in
New York in December, 1902.
The exiles found the hearts and
homes of America open to them and
selected New Mexico as their and
of opportunity. On his way to his
new home Gen. Viljoen foreswore his

The sheep interests in Chaves coun-
ty are among the most important in
the many important industries of the
county. Whatever has to do with the
care and advancement of the sheep
business should be carefully consider
ed and studied. For hat reason the
Record presents the following paper
from the Chicago Daily Drovers Jour
nal:
Sir ]. B. Lawes, the first agricultur-
al experimenter in the world, in the
reports of his work of more than fifty
years proved that sheep may be made
to yield so per eel more profit than
any other animal, said A. T. Grimes,
president of the Missouri Sheep Breed
ers' Association in an address at Col
umbia.
A well-fed flock of sheep is the most
profitable property that a farmer can
own. 1t is sometimes said tina the
dairy COW is this; if that be true,
Why is it hat the number of sheep
has increased ver 3.O0O,0 600 in Great
Britain in the last few years until
now there are owe 800 sheep to every
square mile? Sheep raising is looked
upon by many as a primitive ndus-
try suited only to poor lands and I'M
developed agriculture. If sheep were
suited only TO rough and waste lands,
why is it that in Great Britain the ten
ant looks upon his sheep as h surest
rent payer on land that is worth from
$500 to $500 per acre?
Sheep Pass Primitive Stage.
The sheep business has passed the
primitive stage. We can count on a
well established and increasing de-
mand for our mutton products. The
people of the country, and. in fact
the of all the American
packers products are demanding more
mutton, ahd those who eve ate he
ed its fine flavor and discovered its
high nutritious, are becoming steady
of it, and not only is this
the case, but when this best of all
fresh meat is introduced it stays and
the demand for it increases. We
have always advocated that any far
mer in our state can keep a small
flock with. satisfactory success. Fail
ures in keeping of sheep Invariably
happen in having too large a flock to
begin with, for if n is able to keep
successfully a small flock which any
person with good judgment and good
common sense may do, it is no rea-
son that he can keep a thousand with
the same success, for in all arts APP
pertaining to agriculture there is no
branch so difficult to become profic-
lent in as the shepherds art. This
does not apply to sheep alone. LIE
