did not allow this knowledge to over

seems to add the divinest and sweetest
touch to His humanity when we think
that this was In His mind when He
repeated again and again that simple
statement. His work was almost over,
although Its most terrible hours were
to come, although Its greatest demand
was to be met; yet there was light at
the end, for He was going to the Faith

from telling the disciples that over and

HOUSE OF LITTLE NELL.
Where Dickens Conceived His Famous
Story-Place to Let.


The announcement that the house in
Bath where in 1910 Charles Dickens
first conceived the idea of his immortal
Little Nell in THE Old Curiosity Shop"
- to be 'slet OF sold" is fact of con-
siderable interest to all Dickens lovers.
AT the time that the novelist was first
attracted to his theme by the sight of
poor little girl at Bath. he and his wife,
his land Landor's) biographer, John For
ster, and the painter Maclise were on
visit to Walter Savage Landor In that
fair city, and the incident is thus re-
ferred to in Forster's Life of Landor:"
1T was at celebration of his birthday
In the first of his Bath lodgings, 80 st.
James square, that the fancy which took
the form of Little Nell in The Old
Curiosity Shop first dawned on the
genius OF it's creator. No character in
prose fiction was a greater fayorite with
Lander. He thought that upon her Juliet
might for a moment have turned her
eyes from Romeo and that Desdemona
might have taken her hairbreadth es-
capls to heart, so interesting and pa
thetic did she seem to him; and when
some years later the circumstance / have
named was recalled to him, he broke into
one of those whimsical bursts of comical
extravaganc out of which arose the
fancy of BE ythorn. With tremendous en-
phasis he ,nfrmed the fact, and added
that he had never in his life regretted
anything e. much as his having failed to
carry eyrt ~. ytention he had formed con
corning it; far he meant to have pur-
chased that house, 35 st. James square,
and then and there to have burned it to
the ground, Il the end that no meaner as
location should ever desecrate the birt.l-
day of Nell. Then he would pause a lit
tie, become conscious of our sense of his
absurdity and hreak into laundering
peal of laughter"
Thus In his somewhat ponderous
fashion, does John Forster tell the story.
1t is certainly a great pity that the nov
eist did not carry out his expressed wish
to purchase the house in Bath; but at
that time he did not think he could af-
ford It, 1t seems Dickens had gone to
America, meanwhile, and was sojourning
there when Forster's Life of Landor'
reached him. In allusion TO the fact that
he Dickens) had himself intended to
tell the story in cold print" he wrote
to John Forster from America: 81 see
you have told, with what our friends
would have called wonderful accuracy,

certain faithless wretch GO. d. was to
have related. Pail Mall Gazette.

Mining Regulations Should Be Uniform.

A Pennsylvania representative has
presented to Congress startling COM
piation of casualty statistics in sup
port of argument for the allowance of
S150,000 for q scientific investigation Of
mine disasters. He shows that the,
number OF fatal mine disasters rose tnt
the bituminous districts from 200 I'M
1893 to S06 in 1907. and in the ANTHRAX
cite district from All to 708.
Accidents occur in coal states whichi
have stringent safety laws ON their
statute books, because it is said that,
the absence OF such laws In other COM
petitive coal states makes the operators
lax in the adoption of the legal safe
guards. The idea of conducting an In
vestigation Is therefore not only to show
what causes the accidents, but to make
1t clear that preventive regulations
should be adopted and that such regula-
tons viii be enforced wherever coal Is
mined. Coal mine accidents cannot al
ways be prevented, owing to the uncer-
tainties of ventilation in underground
passages, and the liability to leakage of
gas from seams and through the
tapping of pockets In the coal deposits,
but the danger of explosions can be
largely reduced by the exercise OF care.
The statement that mine owners are
lax in the enforcement of regulations for
the safeguarding of their men in the un-
foreground workings simply because this
course would entail expense and place
them at a slight disadvantage in compe-
tition Is an arraignment of operators for
risking human life for the sake of profit.
1t is also a revelation of the necessity of
making the mining regulations general in
their application, 50 that when miners
so from one district TO another they may
feel that they are receiving the same pro-
lection. and that they can go TO work
with the assurance that whatever befalls
Ii will not be due to carelessness.-Even

HEPBURN AS A CAMPA|GNfR
Continued from Page One)

American people meet this competi-
ton with other lands in our own mar
kets?" 1t was the first question that
received attention of congress when it
assembled. The first act passed by an
American congress was protective
tariff act which contains the first
phase of legislation on the statutes
of the United States. This was the
first question of Importance, because
it was for this purpose that govern
ment was formed; for the purpose of
considering the differences between
state and the people of that state and
the protecting of the people of that
state against the competition of other
countries. Why? Let us illustrate.
What the people of this valley need is
a market. 1t would make little differ
ence how much you produce if you
had no market for it. OF course if
you consumed all your produce you
might be happy and contented, but you
would gain nothing in riches. If peo-
pie consume all they produce they
gain nothing in riches. 1t is only
when you produce a surplus over and
above what you consume that you are
adding to your wealth. 1t is only when
you have something to sell, that you
are gaining in wealth. In order to do
that you must have a market for your
produce, and that is the paramount
issue with the people OF the Snake
river valley. You must have good mar
ket---a market in which you may sell
your surplus, and market in which
you shall not meet an unjust COM
petition in the sale of your produce.
That is what you need in order to
build up and continue the prosperity
which yon now enjoy. ANY condition
of government that will furnish you
a good market is the condition OF gov
eminent that you want and must have.
The market for the produce of the
people of the United States depends in
a large measure upon the protective
tariff policy of the government. If
the door is thrown open and the pro-
duce of other countries is admitted to
your market to compete with the pro-
ducts of your country, your market
will be affected. For instance you pro-
duce hay on this new land. There is
a duty of $500 ton on hay. No hay
can come across the border and COM
pete with you in the market unless
they pay a $500 fine, and when they
have paid $500 for this privilege, they
cannot undersell you without losing
money. This is the protective tariff
in a nutshell. The duty on horses Is
$500 per head. No Canadian horses
or horses outside of the United States
can enter this country without paying
this duty or fine of $500 per head,
and when they have paid it their
horses stand them so much that they
cannot undersell you in the market.
And the duty upon another article that
you produce in this valley is wheat.
The duty on wheat is Csc per bushel.
No wheat from any other country can
come into this market without first
paving this duty of Csc per bushel and
when they have paid 1t their wheat
has cost them so much that they can
not undersell you. Just a few In
stances of the doctrine OF protection.
This Is the policy Of the Republican
party. 1t has enacted whenever IN
The Twin Falls times. [volume] (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1905-1916, 1908-09-24

DONG so, because tnere was no mon
ey in circulation. Wool, one of the
great products of this valley, fell from
151a and Is cents to 61a cents pound
In 1896 up and down the valley of
the Snake river, wool was laying in
the warehouse because it was not
worth the freight to carry it to mar
ket Why? Because the Democratic
party had repealed the Mckinley tar
if bill which was enacted just before
the Republican party was turned out
of power, and the Democrats called a
special session of congress to repeal
it, This was the reason for the COM
petition from foreign countries. They
can produce them much cheaper than
we can. These commodities under our
protective tariff system cannot enter
our land in competition with our pro-
ducts as ! have already demonstrated.
Why oh, why, do the American people
want to change this policy which rep
resents the prosperity they enjoy to-
day? Take it away and you take away
your market. When a merchant sells
more than he buys, he is rich to the
extent of what he sells, but when he
buys more than he sells, or pays out
more than he takes in, then he is
growing poorer every day. The Amer
can people sold last year $500,000,000
more than they bought They sold $780,
100000 more in foreign markets. We
do not take into consideration that
portion of their products sold in this
country. We speak only of the bal
ance of trade in our dealings with
foreign nations. 1t is of course, I'M
portant to us to bear in mind that we
sold last year $5O00N0, 900 more than
we bought in foreign lands. We there
fore pocketed last year $500,000,O00 OF
new money. Money that did not come
out of the pockets of the American
people, or any part Of it. Money that
came out of the pockets of the people
of other lands, SO that it was new
money ! do not mean by that any
thing added to the treasury Of the U.
S., because not dollar of the balance
of trade goes to the government. 1t
goes to the individual that produces
the commodity that is sent abroad If
you have 100 bushels of wheat above
your consumption, yol sell 1t. 1t finds
it's way abroad the outgoing vessel;
coming back, it find it's way into the
pockets of the man who raised it.
The American people have reached
their present state of government by
slow stages. The result from this
condition of government is that we
are today the happies and most pros
porous nation on the face Of the earth.
Cheering and clapping.) We have
been having the balance Of trade in
our hands for the last eleven years.
The American people have sold more
than they have bought; they have TAX
en- in more than they have paid out;
they have put money into their peck
cts to the extent of $500000,000, or
ever since the Republican party re-
turned to power on March 4th, 1897
Is not that pretty good record for
a political party? The first thing to
look for is the prosperity of the AM
erican people as people, and this you
always find II you find them under
protection. Why should people turn
down a party that has brought about
this prosperity? This community is an
excellent example Of the absolute abil-
ity Of the Republican party to admin

THESE l learned pretty generally. The

much lighter than any other way.
While l do not care to boast, and do
not say 1t for the purpose, but have
had twenty-five years experience in
the law; therefore my reasons. BY
all means let the farmers take an ac-

been repudiated by the party which
gave it birth why should we not re-

When we said to you that we could
give you back all that you had lost
some OF us stamped the mud off your
feet and stepped high and dry upon
the platform of prosperity, but some
of you placed your hope in Bryan and
the Democratic party, and by and by
in 1896, the people of the United States
just reached out and caught Idaho by
the scruff of the neck and set her up
on the platform, and said: Stand
there you little rascal, on the hope of
prosperity" And we rebelled just like
a bad child, but they said: Stand
there on the walk don't let us see you
off the walk again. Wool jumped
from 6 to Ice; hay, CATTLE horses,
grain, all come back to good prices,
and they made us prosperous in spite
of ourselves. Most of you are strang-
ers to the state of Idaho, and know lit
tie of her history, SO I will tell you
that for IA years we never participant
ed in the selection of a president The
first time we gave our votes, we cast
them for man whose name has been
forgotten. We threw away the vote
of Idaho and cast it for Mr.. Weaver.
This is history to you. 1t was more
than history to us. Shamed by our
inability to grasp the high functions
OF self government we again cast our
vote for Bryan. But we kept getting
wiser, and the scales dropped from our
eyes, and in 1904, for the first time,

will cast our votes for Taft and Sher-

candidates for president Mr.. Bryan
