PROTECTION THAT DOES
NOT PROTECT

The Salt Lake Tribune, which in
National affairs, at least, processes u
leaning towards republican policies,
seems to be about as satisfied with the
treatment accorded the protected"
American public as are it's democratic
contemporaries. On the subject of
meat prices and the admission of Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wilson that Ameri-
can meats are cheaper abroad than at
home, the Tribune says:
Secretary Wilson of the National
Department of Agriculture, testifies
before the congressional committee that
American meats are sold cheaper i'll
Europe than they are sold here at home.
That is surely q curious revelation of
trade secrets. American meats ought
certainly 20 be sold cheaper in this
country than in foreign countries. If
they are not the reason should certainly
be sought. If that reason is in the
tariff of this country, the fact should be
clearly shown. If it is not in the tariff,
then the real reason should be sought
hlu ulSClOSeu.
1t is always difficult to trace the inn
pulse and effect of trade activities. 1t
has been known for a long time that by
reason of patents and tariffs certain
articles of manufacture are sold abroad
cheaper than in this country. This is
explained i'll good many cases by the
fact that the foreign sales are made to
clear stock and enable the factories to
keep running with full employment all
the time. And that, in way, is Il
satisfactory explanation.
But it is not fair explanation of the
charge made by Secretary Wilson that
American meats are sold cheaper
abroad than at home. If this is fact
that can be fully established, then it
ought to be trackd to it's cause, and a
corrective applied The inhabitants of
country of abundance like this ought
to be cared for with that abundance
conferred upon mankind, and while we
do not regret to see the people of
Europe nourished upon American
meats, we certainly are entitled to claim
that they shall not got those meats
cheaper than we get them ourselves
Here is fruitful field of inquiry that
congress should enter upon without
delay, and explain to the public all the
facts involved in the assertion of our
Secretary of Agriculture.

Race Issue in

of Tourists

HAVANA, Jan. S0-Fears ot \ race con-
flict, growing out Of the recent disorders
resulting from the refusal of the manage
ment OF the principal American hotel in
Havana. to entertain negroes, have in a
great measure abated. and the possibilities
Of further trouble from this particular
source have practically disappeared. For =
few days the situation was threatening and
there was a strong undercurrent Of in
diEnation among the negroes. which it was
fea red might not be kept in check. That
II not only was restrained, but that the
difficulty for the present at any rate, was
successfully smoothered over. Is mainly due
to the personal efforts of President Gomez.
The president sent his secretary to confer
with the management OF the : hotel, and
summoned to thu palace General Cebreeo,
and other negro leaders. with whom he
conferred personally. He pointed out that
the Intrusion OF colored men. where their
presence was not desired. was undignified
and merely served to rouse the animosity
OF Americans with whom II was highly de-
sirable that all Cubans should remain on
the most friendly terms. He also reminded
them how much the prosperity Of the city
OF Havana was dependent on the number Of
American tourists. that danger OF social
disorders would certainly deter from com
ing.
The press also appealed to all patriotic
colored cubans not to persist in enforcing
their rights at the cost OF the rest Of the
community. The result il that the eolored
leaders have been engaged TO use all their
influence 10 prevent their followers from

PIERRE, 8. D., Jan. S1.-(special.)-
Ranchers in western Stanley county are
very much encouraged over the outlook
in that section, as the thawing weather of
tine last week has left them large stretches
Of open country on which their cattle can
Craze. This gives them a relief from the
feeding, which has been necessary almost
since the first of December, and Will help
them to stretch their hay supplies out to
meet the emergencies of the next winter
month. II there is no more snow for sew
eral weeks the opportunity to get winter
grazing will allow many cattle to pull
through safely, while the sections in which
the snow has not cleared off are yet in a
serious condition.
