The SAME OLD HUMBUG

The republicans are again up to their
old tactics of sending out stock argu-
ments on the tariff question which are
being printed by the republican party
organs. Most of this tariff rot is in
spired by Senator Hopkins of Illinois,
who is so appreciated in his home town,
East Aurora, that it voted against his
denomination the other day 1t is the
same old ancient humbug that the
republican protective tariff is the source
of all prosperity and that to revise the
tariff would cause panic and poverty.
This sort Of argument used to work.
1t will no longer. Republicans, demo
Gratis and Independents from Massa-
chusetts to Oregon are clamoring for
revision of the tariff. The people are
stronger for revision of the tariff now
than Mr.. Bryan ever has been. The
great majority of the American people
now know that you cannot tax people
into prosperity and that the tariff has
made few rich at the expense of the
many, has fostered trusts and bred cor
IupIlOn ana panic. llo country saw
last year republican panic which the
Dingley tariff could not avert.
If the tariff is wrong now, it was
wrong twelve years ago, and if the re-
publican party intended to revise the
tariff it should have done SO before
this, instead of now asking for another
chance to revise it-possiby in the
wrong direction. Mr.. Taft himself
promises that some few schedules
should be revised higher The repub-
lican position us TO tariff revision is an
amazing confession that the republic

Immediately after election is sop

and Mr.. Taft's statement that some
schedules are to he raised is u promise
to the trusts to got campaign contri-
buttons. Give us your votes once more,

profit, no mater whether the farmer
and the workingman get relief or not.

Staaley L. M.ea

Stanley L. Wines, one of the re-
publican nominees for the assembly,
is the son of Ira d. Wines of Ruby
valley. He has lived in the county all
of his life. He graduated from the
county high school in the class of 1902
and then attended the Michigan univer-
sity at Ann Arbor for two years.
Mr.. Wines is one of: the coming
young men of Elko county. He takes
an interest in public affairs and is we'll
posted ON the needs of the state. If
elected, he will represent the people
of this county with ability and serve
them legally. Although young in
years, he has the education and ex-
perience necessary to make him a
capable legislator.
1t speaks well for the safety of Ameri-
can institutions when young men of the
country are ready and willing to
sacrifice themselves on the altar of
duty. This is the case with Stanley
l.. Wines. His party is in minority
in this county and his chances of cleo
ZION are not bright, yet he answers the
call of duty and takes place on his
party's ticket,
The only thing the INDEPENDENT
knows against the young man is his
political creed. While it cannot urge
his election. it can safely say that if
Stanley L. Wines is elected to the
assembly he will do his full duty to his
constituents and to the state at large.
He solicits the support of the voters
and promises faithful service if elected.

Lost in The Mountains

A report was received yesterday in
this city that man answering the de-
scription of William Lane, one of the
convicts that escaped from the state
prison two weeks ago, was seen at the
Toll house about sixty miles from here.
According to the information received
the man applied there for food and
lodging. He stated that he was trying
to make his way afoot through the
country and wandered for three days
lost in the mountains. He was half
starved and in a serious condition when
he arrived at the place but soon re-
covered and then disappeared.
A description of Lane has been sent
