Senator's Disagree said: There is
not the slightest ground for saying
that there is any lack of harmony or
cooperation between Senator Borah
and myself. We have no differences
of opinion that are serious enough to
call for the slightest comment. He is
generous in his counsel and his con-
ference and has demonstrated that he
is destined to make a powerful and
useful senator. The relations be-
tween us are entirely friendly and l
do not believe either of us is small
enough to allow ourselves to be put
at lOggerheads by the malicious feel
ings Of anyone. We intend to bring
our best judgment to bear upon all
questions Of interest to Idaho, and
the country, and though we may
differ in regard to some feature OF
certain measures 1t does not prove
that either OF us is captious or dis
honest"

TARIFF AND TRUSTS.

The democratic cry that protec-
tive tariff is "the mother of trusts"
Is disproved by SO many facts that its
iteration is but partisan noise. Dur
Ing the last great coal strike 1t was
urged that the removal of the duty of
AZ cents ton on imported coal
would bring the coal trust to terms
and break its power. Congress sus-
pended the duty, and for more than
a year foreign coal was admitted
free to any port in the United States.
The effect on the trust and price of
coal in this country was practically
nothing. Foreign holders of coal
marked up their price for shipment
here, just as the South Americans
several years before added cents a
pound to their price for coffee ex-
ported, when the duty of 2 cents
pound was removed by the congress
of the United States.
In his last notable speech in con-
gress Senator Vest commended, and no
doubt believed, that the duty on for
eign coal was the mother of the
trust. But the removal of the duty
failed to benefit consumers a single
cent. The item of AZ cents ton
duty is too small a matter to explain
the operations Of the coal trust. There
are foreign combinations in coal that
advanced the price for cargoes to
America when the duty was suspend
ed. The American supply of coal is
greater than that of Eu-
rope. Large trusts exist in every
European country. Belab-
oring a protective tariff with the idea
that the blows fall on the trusts and
that free trade would abolish trusts
is time and effort wasted. The result
expected cannot be reached along
that road.

BRYAN HITS AT SOCIALISM

While In New York City Bryan
spoke at Cooper Union and answer
ed several questions put to him BY
the audience. One was: What II
the difference between socialism and
democracy and what would you dc
for the unemployed II elected?" An.
swering the latter part first, Bryan
said that there were two kinds OF
relief-temporary and permanent
The government itself should pro-
vide work as long as there was any
to give and he added that IF the
people are suffering for lack of work
1t should give aid directly" But he
went on to speak of the permanent
remedy, saying: 1--WE need a more
equitable distribution of the pro-
ceeds of human toll. The govern
ment can help this by correcting
those faults, removing those abuses
that work against the principle of a
man getting just reward for his
contribution for the welfare of his
kind" AS to socialism he had this
to say: 1.-THE socialist is seeking re-
lief from present conditions. There
are two kinds of socialists-those
who are seeking it in government be-
cause their hearts yearn to help
those who need help and those who.
not finding the reward they think
they are entitled to in individualism
seek 1t In socialism. The socialist
must be met as an honest man fairly
and sQuarely and answered. Ac-
cepting the definition of socialism
to be government ownership of all

cialism grades up and that indiyid-
ualism grades down. Let every man

industry entitle him to- The gov
eminent should see to that, he con-
tinued, but there was religious
principle which entered also, name

is accountable to God for his. stew
ardship. He asserted that socialism
does not take into account any large
idea OF justice, referring to the be-
lief that the man who contributed
more to human welfare should have
more reward than the other.
Another important question which
Bryan answered was whether the
policy Of negro Acknowledgement in
the south is In accord with the
of man. He replied
that where the qualification is edu-
every negro could fit him
self to vote, but that the limit on

suffrage is justified only when self
protection demands 1t. He declared
that the white man gives the black
better government than the black
would give the white. The republic
cans had denied to the Filipino the
hope Of ever obtaining vote.

NEW YORK DEMOCRATIC ROW

Since the democratio state con-
vention at New York, which showed
that Charles F. Murphy, the leader
of Tammany Hall, had suddenly be-
come the boss" of the entire state
organization. the faction led by Nc
Carren has called a conference in
the hope of having protest conven-
ton which might send contesting
delegation to Denver. The fact that
Bryan is to be in control of the dem
ocratic national committee, which
will pass upon contests, is the basis
for SO much gossip about the efforts
Of both factions in New York try
ing to win the Nebraskan's favor
During his trip through the state it
was said that friends of Murphy had
come to an understanding with
Bryan, but the latter consistently
asserted his intention not to take
sides in any state quarrels.
The following is the tariff plank
in the PLATFORM of the New Hamp-
shire republicans: I'VE recognize
the approaching day when the exist.
ing tariff schedules should be care
fully examined with view to max
ing such changes as may be neces-
sary to adjust them to current con-
ditions, having always in mind the
fundamental republican principle Of
ample protection to American indus
try and labor. In the meantime we
record our emphatic opposition to
tariff tinkering by piecemeal." In
vain the free trade party searches
the republican platforms of 1908 for
any encouragement to the enemies
of protection.
After doing their utmost to block
legislation, the democratic congress
men will go into the campaign and
criticise the republicans for not do
ing anything.
Democratic items of interest are
scarce, but occasionally one of an
enlivening nature comes along. Mr.
Hobson is to be a candidate for the
presidency in 1912.
The senate INDUCED in some witt.
cisms the other day, but as Senator
Tillman was absent 1t will not be ne
cessary to go into executive session
to demand diagram and apology.
