By way of comment on the marked

says: "
THE official report of State Bullion
Tax Agent Haley, showing an output
for the mines of Nevada for 1908 of
$l4.3i3, 545, is encouraging, especially
as accompanying it is the promise of
better things in the way of bullion pro-
duction.

ada is getting it, and what she got last
year won't be drop in the bucket to
what she is to get in the future
And yet an annual output of GA,
600, 600 and more makes very respect
able showing. California for many
years held the primacy among the
States Of the Union as gold getter on
an annual output of approximately $50
GOO, 600, and Nevada, not SO far behind
that figure now, promises to attain it
by the end of this year. .
But the most encouraging feature
about the present record is that it is so
vast an improvement on that of compare

the mining industry of Nevada is but
in it's infancy. It's present opportuni-

WHAT A REVENUE TARIFF rs

The tariff -tinkcring protectionists in
the senate try to throw dust III tho
eyes of the people when they vociferate
that outrageously high tariff taxes are
necessary in order to provide the reve-
hue that the government must have.
They know that the contrary is true.
They surely know that the best revenue
producing tariff we ever had was the
Walker tariff of Folks administration,
I'm which the rates were SO low that it
was nicknamed the free-trade tariff. {"
And though this tariff was bitterly re-
sented by selfish interests, Which
wanted the privilege of taxing the
public, it is not recorded that workers
In American industries suffered harm
from it.
The tariff -tinkering protectionists Of
the senate are not looking for revenue
nor even reasonable protection such as
would be incidental to well. framed
tariff for revenue. Their sole aim is to
make tariff taxation as nearly prohibi
tive Of imports us possible and to leave
the widest margin for plumber of the
people by the excessively protected
monopolist
They are adhering tenaciously to IL
system that should have not survived
the civil war by more than ten or twelve
years. Immediately after the close of
that struggle the treasury would have
benefited by sharp reductions in the
tariff rates. But it was necessary and
proper, ut that time, to give protection
I'D the numerous American industries
which the war had brought into exist

ness of the country.
1t was i'll this crisis that protection
became paramount principle of re-
publican tariff making, and III DID,
lists who want Il premium on different
work have insisted upon it ever since.
The country would have grown away
from it long ago if sectional issues and
tho stirring of the civil war passions
had not been used by rep lblican leaders
and spell binders us II cloak for tariff
robbery.
But the country is coming back to
the proper and legitimate purpose of
tariff taxation which is to provide reve-

one whose rates are low enough to en-.
