The Hearst Campaign.

After all, Mr.. Hearst spent less than $4,000
his grand Combination Circus perform
ances. The amount of free advertising he got
out of it was worth double the money.
No one else contributed to the Hearst cam
paign fund. Everybody felt that the Show be-
1onged to Hearst, and that Hearst should pay
the freight We think that he should have
furnished Honest Tom Hisgen with transpor-
tation facilities but he didn't Honest Tom
laments the dismal fact that he had to pay his
travelling expenses. In that respect, there is
another Tom who knows how it feels.
Brother Hisgen was not allowed the use of
a single one of those stolen letters nor to come
within reach of the Hearst dough-bag Says
Honest Tom,-"I spent lot of money travel
ing around, lost lot of time from my business,
and now I'm done with politics. and am back
on the Job of supplying the creaking wheels of
the universe with axle-grease" Or words of
similar import.

The Gyanqers and the Tariff.

Those agriculturists who belong to the
Grange at length realize that the Tariff sys-
tenn is comprehensive legalized robbery of
the many by the few. The Grange knows that
the people engaged in agricultural pursuits suf-
fer more from the exactions of the Tarif-rnade
Trusts than does any other class Therefore,
the Grange in its national convention, has de-
manded lowering of Tariff duties
When are the Farmers Uuion cohorts going
to fall into line and make themselves felt in
the great struggle against the robber Tariff?

Federal Government is about $I2 per annum.
To the average family that means yearly Fed
eral tax of 500.
But YOU never see any Federal tax-collector,
do you? You see one every time you buy
plug of tobacco, every time you settle store
account, every time you purchase one OF the
hundreds Of articles necessary to home and
farm.
You bewail your fate, and say that Times
are hard and the cost of living increased
What have you done to make times better?
Voted the Republican ticket, and got half-a-
dozen little packages of garden Seed and
copy of speech that perhaps your Congress-
man did not deliver?
Or did you vote the Democratic ticket, and
get six small envelopes containing garden seed
and copy of speech your Congressman made
on one side of question, when the record
shows that he voted on the other?
Prices high? Oh, no. they're not; it's the
taxes that are-high. You pay the Federal
taxes when you pay those high prices for mer-
chandise.
If you would compel your Congressman to
lower the Tariff duties, the number Of foreign
ers who could afford to sell their stuff in our
market would be increased, the prices of all
kinds of merchandise would be more reason
able, and the Government would get larger
proportion of the price which the Tariff COM
pels all to pay-for the foreign goods are the
only ones which enable the Government to get
anything out of the Tariff. The smaller the
amount of foreign goods that can be sold here,
the greater the huge sum total of what our
manufacturers get out of the Tariff.
AS long as there are any Tariff duties, the
people will have to pay more for dutiable
tic1es than they are worth, for the duty will
always be added to the price. But it is very
much better to have low duties which will en-
able the Government to get the principal bene-
fit of the immoral Tariff than to leave duties SO
high that foreign competition is shut out and
the Trusts hog the whole thing.

The Spinners Profits.

The Spinners Profits.
The Progressive Farmer, referring to Mr..
Watson's New Orleans address, reports him as
stating that the foreign spinners clear profit
of 100000 on the American cotton they an
nually purchase from us.
The amount is rather more than nine million
dollars, Brother Poe. To be frank with you,
it is nine hundred million dollars.
The foreigner bought, during the year nam
ed, upwards of nine million bales of American
cotton paying not quite five hundred mill
ion dollars for it. He sold the manufactured
products, = cloth and "sich, for fourteen
million dollars.
Five hundred from fourteen hundred leaves
nine hundred.
Tidy sum to lose every year This $oooooo,-
900!
When is the cotton grower to wake up, and
watch the way his Congressman votes?
When is the farmer going to learn how to
compel his representative to vote for laws that
will benefit the farmer?
The official record REVEALS THE Avn
Full FACT THAT THE STEEL TRUST,
ALONE, CLEARS MORE MONEY, EV-
cry YEAR, THAN THE 10000, 900 AGRI-
CULTURISTS CLEAR IN TEN YEARS.
Why? Because the Steel Trust gets Con-
gress to pass laws that benefit the Trust. How
Trust to earn larger profits in one year than
all the farmers can earn in ten?
BY putting the license-fee of the foreigner
who seeks to sell in our market so high that he
cannot afford to pay it. The Tariff duty which
the foreigner has to pay at the Custom House,
before he can offer his goods for sale in Our
country, is the same as license fee, paid for
the privilege to sell,
Suppose foreigner has to pay four dollars
Tariff duty on suit of clothes which sells in
Europe for six dollars The four dollars must
be added to the six, and we Americans must
pay ten dollars for the suit. The foreigner
cannot afford to sell it to us for less.
That being SO, the American manufacturer
can put a ten-dollar price on his six-dolar suit
of clothes also. The foreigner cannot sell for
less than ten, without losing money, whereas
the American manufacturer can offer his suit
at So 50, cut the foreigner out of the trade, and
still pocket $3.50 more than the suit of clothes
is worth.
When the foreigner can afford to bring his
goods into our market, the Government gets
the Tariff duties.
When the foreigner cannot afford to sell in
our market, the American manufacturer has
monopoly, charges extortionate prices, and the
Government oets nothing.
Thus the Tariff keeps competition out
breeds the Trust and pillages the millions who
must buy the 5000 articles whose prices are
artifcially lacked up and kept up by Congress
sional legislation.
The .prodigal expenditures of Congress =
both the old parties being equally guilty Of
sinful waste-have increased the appropria-

The Funeral of Mary Rafferty

The teachings of childhood will in some way cling to us, even after the hard knocks of the world have left their marks in the wbite locks and altered carriage.
 This thought was brought forcibly to mind last week at the burying of Mary Rafferty, the woman whose death was mentioned in the News last Wednesday. It was Thursday afternoon that a group of men folks gathered at the door of the dead house at St. Ann hospital to attend the last sad rites over the re- mains of this woman. Without eere- mony the coffin was brought and de- posted in John Stoft's wagon, and the little procession started on it's way to the cemetery. Hands strong and care ful lowered the remains into the grave after this last little journey, and then, for the first time, came the realization that there was something lacking. Neither priest, prelate nor clerk was there to read a verse or say prayer. After some barley, Jack Mcdonald was induced t9 assume the office. From the past be brought forth half-forgotten prayer of childhood, and with the mur- mured assistance of those about him he stumbled through to the end. Then a little party of grave-faced men started to tramp through the rain back to town, but they were all better satisfied because of that prayer.

Hammered From Pure Gold

The Alaska Yukon Pacific monument to be the crowning work of sculpture of next years international exhibition, will be covered with solid gold leaf. Gold donations to the amount of S7,000, necessary to completely cover the great shaft with the shining metal, will be so- hcited from Alaskans, Yukoners and the people of Seattle.
 An appropriation to cover the cost of building the monument in staff has been authorized, the drawings made and the sculptor is engaged in building his clay model. The monument is to stand in the center of the plaza in front of the magnificent. group of United States government buildings, and di- rectly at the head of the Cascades. The exposition monument is to be more than seventy feet in height. The monument proper will stand on a pedestal twenty feet high. This column will be of Corinthian design on the top of which will be a globe giving the signs of the zodiac. On top of this globe will be huge American eagle with out stretched wings as in flight. Grouped about the base of this monument will be three seated female figures symboli- cal of the Northland, the South seas and the Orient. Every foot of this great monument will have the appear ance of having been hammered out of pure gold if the donations are sufficient to complete the undertaking.
 While several we'll known Alaskans who have just returned to Seattle from the northern mining camps have assured exposition officials they approve of the idea to cover the monument with gold and will make liberal donations, the management of the 1909 enterprise is desirous that every person in Seattle donate small piece of gold and a plan has been suggested that has met with general approval
 In the early days of the Klondike rush thousands of gold nuggets, large and small, were made into scarf pins, chains, bracelets, lockets, etc. The nugget fad spread all over the country, and today nugget jewelry is found in almost every jewelry store in the United States.
 Ia Seattle and the state of Washing ton there is no doubt thousands of dol lars worth of discarded nugget jewelry and any person in the city having an article of jewelry containing one or more nuggets will have part in cover ing the great exposition monument with gold if he will but donate his cast off nugget jewelry to the officials of the 1909 fair.
 Nugget donations will be received at the office of the treasurer in the Globe building, where any person bringing in donations of gold will receive receipts properly signed to indicate that he or she is contributor to the exposition gold fund. Exposition officials do not anticipate that it will require very much publicity to receive contributions in gold sufficient to cover the monu- ment and now it is almost assured that the Alaska Yukon-Pacific exposition monument will be of gold, highly ap- propriate ipasmuch as the exposition is to exploit Alaska with it's gold fields, forests, fisheries, mines and the general possibilities of this vast district.
