OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE
CITY OF ELLENsBURG
SPECIAL NOTICE TO ALL DELINQUENT
SUBSCRIBERS OF THE DAWN

The Postmaster General has issued an
edict that publishers Of newspapers may
not mail their papers at pound rates to sub.
scribers who are one year in arrears on
subscription. Such papers can only be
mailed by attaching one cent stamp 10
each COPY. This order went into effect
January 1st as o. Human, Post Master,
will attest, and newspaper publishers are
oiven a limited time in which to adjust their
subscription list TO the new conditions.
BY this ruling il becomes necessary tor US
to settle with our subscribers and collect
that which is due US before we are called
upon by the Postal authorities TO produce
our subscription. Each person owing US
can learn just the time they are paid to BY
looking at the date set opposite their name
on the little red mail tab on The Dawn. To
illustrate: II il reads like this:
JOHN JONES q JAN o.
you are in arrears four years ard owe US
81. Il is simple and easy TO figure out and
understand and il all in arrears will come
forward and Iquidate and adjust their little
accounts they will confer a favor by
so doing. We cannot afford to print and
send you The Dawn twice week one year
104 papers, put a one cent stamp on each
CODY, all for 81, and will not do so. We
have no desire to buy subscribers, neither
will we do it, and we shall regret very much
to have TO strike from our list even single
name, but we must live up to the postal laws
and regulations and urge each one in arrears
10 come forward and settle up soon.

WE are truly glad the way our
subscribers and readers are coming
forward and placing themselves
and us too, for that matter, to the
good. 1t shows they want and APP
preciate The Dawn, and many of
them have spoken very kindly as a
factor in Ellensburg and Kittitas.
But there are as yet number who
have not come forward, but we
trust they will do SO soon, which
will enable us to liquidate our OBJ
legations and improve our paper as
we very much wish to do. Our
aim is to make The Dawn second
to no paper in central Washington.
We are giving you The Dawn
twice a week at a price less than
the average weekly paper will cost

place of a daily at much less cx-

instance that can be cited. There
are scores Of farm products that
might be enumerated which find
good markets in the United States,
which markets would not exist but
for the protective tariff. There are
eggs, chickens, butter, tomatoes,
etc, etc, etc, the aggregate market
values Of which amount 20 millions
of dollars annually poured into the
bank accounts of farmers, that
would be without markets were it
not for the manufacturing cities of
the United States, that nave been
fostered and expanded in popula-
ton by operation OF the protective
tariff.
The foregoing is the answer to
the question: Wherein has the
protective tariff ever added dollar
to the value of farm producer"
And it explains why the farmers of
the country voted that the revision
of the tariff shall be along protec-
tive lines.

are consumed there by artisans
who would not be there but for the
protective tariff; or if there at work
at wages in competition with the
European standard they would not
have money to buy watermelons.
The European artisan has no
money for the purchase of such
luxuries, and if he did they would
not bear transportation across
the Atlantic. They would spoil
before they reached the market.
That being the case the water
melons would not be produced; the
hundred of thousands of acres OF
land devoted to their production
would be turned into cultivation OF
other produce which would bear
transportlon across the water, en-
tering into competition with the
produce of other hundred thou
sands of acres, and beating down
the prices Of that produce. Elm.

protective tariff has added to the
value of the cotton crop?

TARIFF REVISION.

That there will be a revision OF
the tariff has been assured is fact
that goes without saying, for the
platforms of both the great political
parties pledged it in the campaign
which ended on the third of Nov
ember; and that it will be along
protective lines is assured also by
the reason that in the election
the people retained the Republican
party-the party of protection-to
administer the revision. The ways
and means committee OF the house
is engaged in examination and in
vestigation Of trade conditions and
manufacturing experience from
which to formulate a basis upon
which to establish a new tariff act
along protective lines that will
benefit the people Of the United
States without sacrifice of any
American industry to the destruc-
tive competition offoreign manufac-
turers. In the course of the exam
ination there have appeared before
the committee many prominent
manufacturers and some importers
who have presented freely their
views of the operation of the tariff
in their successive lines of business
There is the usual display of self
ishness in such cases; they al
think the tariff should be reduced
on the commodities they consume
but that so far as are concerned tn,
goods they manufacture the presen
rates are about correct. There ar
but two or three who have ad
mitted that their own lines cal
stand reduction in the protection
afforded by the Dingley act; Blu
they all seem to think that the ray
material going into their ow
manufacture should be on the FIRE
list, no matter how much it ma
be the finished product of anotht
manufacturer as greatly entitled I
protection as they. In fact the

The work of the congressional
