A WORD ABOUT THE TARIFF.

Ii was once argued that the foreign
err paid the tax. but nobody now ad-
vances this argument in favor OF a
high protective tariff
Then the theory was advanced that
the high tariff was in the interests or
the laboring man. because it kept
wages up. Now everybody knows TIL,
fallacy of this doctrine
The wage Garner has been brought
to understand at last that the tariff
keeps out the goods Of other coun
tries. and thus raises the price of goods
at home-the goods he is forced to
buy. BY its very pretense of raising
wages, it brings in from other lands
thousands of competitors in the labor
market. The laboring man has come
TO understand that if wages are to be
kept up it is the trades unions which
are to keep them up.
1t was once claimed that the manu-
facturer profited largely by the tariff.
and this was undoubtedly true at one
time. Carnegie's fortune came IRON,
this source But when the industry
has once developed it is cut off from
foreign markets by the tariff and finds

BOXING AND WRESTLING CON-
TESTS AT MEADOR PARK
Best Event Of Sporting Season to be
Pulled Off On WaIIa WaIIa River
Tomorrow Night

What promises to be the most in
teresting event of the season along
sporting lines is the wrestling match
to be pulled off at MeadOr Park tomor-
row night between Jimmie Casey and
Eddie COnOnrs. Casey has the advant-
age in weight. being much heavier than
his professional opponent but the lat
ter is said to be right there with the
goods and understands the game in
it's every detail. He is a lightweight
but hopes to make up in superior skill
and knowledge of the art what he
lacks in beef
A boxing preliminary has been ar
ranged which should be good drawing
card. Outside talent has been secured
and the mill will be fast and bril-
liant exhibition of the manly art. The
preliminary is promised to be nearly as
good as the main event and from
what can be learned of the contestants
there is little doubt but that such will
be the case.
Special car service will be arranged,
cars leaving Walla Walla in good sea-
son for both events and plenty of cars
will be furnished.

paper, the Columbia County Dispatch.
In boosting the political claims of one

while Mr.. Sayres is a republican he

PAPER admit what the great masses of
people have long suspected, apparently
with good reason that the policies Of
the republican party are in the inter
ests of favored class. Most observers
believe that commercial pirates have
controlled the republican party for the
past three decades and that with each
passing year the party in power has
become closer and closer allied with the
favored few and farther and farther
removed from the interests of the
masses.
From every corner of the country
comes indication that republicans
are growing tired of voting
straight ticket just because the party
was once the party of Lincoln and are
showing their disapproval of the plan
which has made their party one of the
best assets of big business interests.
