Pleased With Idaho County.

DIR. Edward P. Lyon, P. H. D.,
of Spokane, who recently spent sew
eral weeks at Cottonwood, speaks as
follows of this country: Idaho
county is developing rapidly and the
new branch of the Northern Pacific
from Lewiston now extends about
80 miles to Vollmer and expects to
reach Cottonwood and Grangeville by
July, opening up a vastly rich country
to easy access. Many new towns
are springing up along the line, and
new people are constantly arriving. "

and action cannot be taken too soon.
The coming summer season will
bring unusually bright times to Grange
vile and Idaho county and this pros
perity can be greatly increased by the
citizens of our town unanimously
organizing, supporting and maintain
ing a commercial club"
DIR. G. A. Green: "If Grange
vile expects to progress, CONNER
cial club must be formed and put to
work. The amount of real good to
be accomplished cannot be overesti-
mated"
w. w. Brown, cashier of the
Bank of Camas Prairie: In my
opinion the best work to be accom-
plished by commercial club in
Grangeville this summer would be to
establish and maintain commercial
club headquarters where visitors to the
city would be always welcome. Ex-
hibits of fruit, grain, vegetables, ETC..
could be kept there and also data and
statistics of the county should be on
file. With good man in charge,
much benefit would be realized from
this source. The building of the new
railroad and the city and county's
natural resources and advantages will
bring homeseekers here. Therefore,
: think, we must welcome the strang-
er cordially and create in his mind
the best possible impression of our
country"

Grangeville and Idaho county has my
sincere approval. About the value of

Local Citizens Show Progressive Spirit BY Advocating and
Urging Permanent Boosting Organization
All Unanimously in Favor of Club Being Organized and
Ready to Lend Individual Aid and Support.

Impulsed with the idea that Grange
vile ought to have commercial club
The Globe made the rounds the last
of the week and secured the opinions
of number of business men on that
question. Not all were visited, as
few were out when the representative
called. Others, possibly, were missed
altogether, but if so, the omission
was not intentional and those citizens
will be expected to boost just little
more than ever when the opportunity
is presented.
Not citizen was interviewed that
discouraged the idea. 1t meets with
unanimous approval. Some expressed
the opinion that the old commercial
club had done lot of good work and
suggested that it be revived Others
believe that a new club with new
name and new spirit and new ideas
would be the only plan to follow
That portion of the project can be
better discussed and settled at called
meeting of the citizens, however, and
is not for The Globe to determine.
The Globe suggests that a meeting
be called in the very near future. Al
this meeting let few good men be
chosen as an executive committee. Il
is useless to appoint more than three
citizens, for no matter how many diff
ferent committees, executive boards,
directors, ETC., are appointed ths
whole duties of the club will event
ually devolve upon few members
Let this committee prepare constitu

ufacturing industries of England If she
were to put tax upon the importation
of cotton. wool. hides and skins, furs
and other materials? We are trying to
build up industries in which these are
used, and yet we impose duties upon
most of them. except cotton, of which
we raise surplus for export, and silk,
which we do not raise at all. We make
leather goods for export in spite of the
duty on hides, but the duty on wool
prevents the manufacturing industry
from growing so as to supply our own
wants. There Is no sense in a duty on
live cattle for country that can pro-
duce them as cheaply as any other and
that makes business of exporting
meat. 1t is equally absurd to put a
duty on wheat when we export both
the grain and the -four made from it.
There are economy and gain for both
capital and labor in turning materials
into manufactured products whether
for domestic or foreign markets, in
stead of exporting them in the raw
state or making it costly to import
them for our own use"

NOT SQUARE DEAL

l favor tariff reduction first because
i think the tariff is not square deal.
1t gives the protected ones special priv
. Deges. enables them to get a higher
price for what they make than they
would otherwise get and higher than
they are fairly entitled to. This is
clearly shown in the case of the steel
trust. Every building that is erected
in America pays tribute to this trust,
and millions of dollars are brought to
the Golfers of men who are already too
rich by reason of our unfair and unjust
tariff laws. Then. too, think 1t is
every mans right TO buy where he can
buy the cheapest and sell where he can
sell the dearest. and when govern
ment interfetes with that right for the
sake of protecting anybody think the
government is everlastinsly wrong.
am doing business ON the border of
Canada. If Il Canadian buys some
thing in my store and attempts to take

more of the cost of the article. 1t
seems to me utterly absurd that man
should be fined for taking goods that
he buys here across Il river. 1t is so If
l go to Canada to buy anything. I am
fined for bringing it here. In our case
the tariff restricts trade. We lose all
the business across the Canadian line.

than highway robbery. The protection

the men who seem to be otherwise sane

HOUSEWIVES, TAKE NOTICE.
The Cost of Canning Fruit and Vege-
tables Greatly Increased.

The Cost of Canning Fruit and Vege-
tables Greatly Increased.
This is the time of year known to the
housekeeper as canning time" Fruits
and vegetables are put up for future
use, and strong pull is made on the
family eXchequer TO supply the sugar
and the glass or tin cans in which art-
Giles are preserved. 1t may be well,
therefore. to remind those Interested
and if we include those who buy can
ned articles as well as those who them
selves do the canning this will COM
prise pretty nearly every one-that the
cost of canned fruit and vegetables is
affected enormously by the tariff taxes
on sugar, tin and glass.
In the year ending June so, 1907,
1885, 5.J49 pounds of sugar We're en-
tered for the payment of import duty.
In spite of protection to the sugar rails
ing industry In the United States, the
domestic production was less than %
per cent of the total amount consumed.
The average tariff tax on sugar was
65.49 per cent. yielding to the govern
ment revenue of S6O.135.1S1.
But greater yet' was the tax paid by
consumers of sugar to the refining in
terests known as the sugar trust. Little
refined sugar was imported, less than
fifteen one-hundredths of l per cent of
the revenue being obtained from that
source.
The trust gets its revenue from con-
suiners by means of "differentials" in
the sugar duties, taxing refined grades
much heavier than unrefined and en-
aiding the trust to charge for refined
sugar much, more than the cost of raw
sugar plus a reasonable charge for re-
filming. When the government gets
SEQ 100000 It is safe estimate that
the trust gets about $75.O00.O00 through
the tariff. The people might save this
graft that goes to the trust by abolish
ing the differentials. They could also
reduce the duties on raw sugar with
out serious injury TO the sugar produc-
ing localities. The reduced price. would

FREE RAW MATERIALS.
Absurd to Tax Them In Manufaotur

Absurd to Tax Them In Manufacture
ing Country-Duty on Cattle.
1t is said that the Canadian summer
is too short for the thorough fattenins
of cattle. and therefore many head Of
Canadian cattle are brought into the
United States, fed through the sum-
mer and shipped abroad. There is,
however. duty OF nearly so per cent
to he paid when they are imported.
Without this duty many more cattle
would be brought in and much more
profitable use would be made of our
pastures, corn and hay. English con-
sumers are threatening to remove ex-
listing legal restrictions and import
these cattle and feed them on English
farms. and this may be the result.
Speaking of this situation, the New York
Journal of Commerce recently said:
Duties on raw materials are an alb

PROSPERITY TO ORDER.

How the STAND Patters Propose to
Avoid Taking Their Medicine.
The New York Evening Post recent
ly said: Prosperity has taken to itself
wings and flown away, but is to be
ordered back for campaign purposes
1t will be at least a good enough pros
perity till after election
The Post, continuing. shows how the
stand pat leaders are going to force
the sun of prosperity to shine again;
how they will issue orders to the timid
! bankers to loosen up with loans to
merchants, contractors and manufac-
turers; how they will put pressure on
, the railroads, commanding them TO
order rails and other equipment land
make the tall chimneys smoke again."
! how they will crack the whip over the
shoulders of manufacturers, adjuring
| them to re-employ their men and run
their mills to capacity, whether they
have market for their goods or not
This is all to be done because the I'M
expected happened in the way of a
| severe industrial depression under a
stand pat tariff, and the beneficiaries
of that tariff are to be scared into a
forced resumption of the appearance
of prosperity through fear of losing
their special privileges If the voters
| should show their resentment by elect
ing real tariff reviSers.
No doubt the scheme will work-in
part. Many men will be put on the
payroll. at least temporarily. and in
certain directions there will be greatly
increased industrial activity. If there
| comes collapse after election, that,
as stand patters reason. will be for
gotten before another election.
But the Evening Post pertinentlv
raises the question whether the voters
can lie fooled this time by tricks of
that sort. Observing that there are
difficulties in the way of a graceful
| return to the stage by stand patters in
the role of prosperity agents, the Post
continues:
Malicious spectators will ask why
| 1t was ever abandoned. If Republic
| an control of prosperity by means of a
high tariff is so absolute, why was it
ever relaxed? \ real earthly Provi-
dence does not even temporarily lose
| its grip. 1t must be as constant as
! the sun. To have allowed the country
to suffer for single year must arouse
haunting doubts in the minds of the
! faithful akin to those which have trotl-
| bled theOlogians. If the Republican
! tariff could not have prevented bad
| times. then it is not all powerful; If it
could. but did not, then it is not benev-
! client. This is the way in which tariff
! atheists are made"
If the voters have not lost their pow
! er of reasoning during the season of
! dull times and lean ratiOns. it may be
predicted that the country will be full
! of tariff atheists next fall.
