FREE TRADE RONrANCERs.

In a circular sent out to their GUS
toners bya firm Of Wall street stock
brokers occurs this amusing state
ment: mo tariff commission or In
yestigating committee is needed to
cross the border into Canada to find
wearing apparel % per cent to $50
per cent less"
II food is so much cheaper In cam
ada than here. why isn't it imported
and sold at a greater profit than
home producers can get? There y
nothing like a 40 per cent American
tariff against Canadian food pro-
ducts. This is Simply case Of the
free-trade liar exercising himself 70
get into condition for another az
tack on the protective tariff system.
If wearing apparel is 15O per cent
LESS in Canada than here, as we are
told BY this Wall Street circular, no
protective tariff can keep the Amer
scan markets from being flooded
with Canadian clothing. According
to the figures Of this free-trade fic-
tion-150 per cent--a man can get
a $50 suit of clothes in Canada for
nothing with a $40 bill tucked IN
the waistcoat pocket as an addition
al Gift. This is the only way Cana
dian clothing can be had 15O per
cent cheaper than American clothing.

uNrAR CRITICISM.

Considerable criticism is being
made by unmannerly common Repub-
licans because nearly all the leading
reformers in office are now using the
time for which they are paid by the
state in campaigning for other ana
remunerative offices. The candidates
for congress against the Republican
congressman are nearly all on the
state payroll. The governor Of the
state has hardly been In his office for
weeks on account Of his candidacy
for senator. The appointive officers
are all logging for themselves or for
stubbs, or for both. This is sugges-
ted by the critics as hardly In line
with the declaration of the reform
movement.
We do not believe this criticism
fair. Governor Stubs is making
lust as good governor while he is
away and Dave Leahy is doing the
governing as he does when/he is IN
the state house himself. True, the
state pays the governor $4,000 per
year and house rent, to secure MS
valuable services, but what Is that
when considered In comparison with
the necessity of political advance
ment of Governor Stubs? Echo an
swers or ought to answer, nit" Ana
then the appointive officers, Joe Dol
w. John Mercer, Joe Longshore, ana
all the other Joes, Milt Amrine, OF
the many jobs, and the lesser lights
in the constellation Of reform, all OF
them leave their work in the hands
of deputies while they are paving
up the dust and keeping hot the
political trails Of the state. the
word has gone out that Stubbs must
win or the Heavens fall, and who
wants the Heavens to fall? Surely
these men who have condescended tc
draw salaries ought not be expected
to work. They are all lovely char
acters and when they get out In tn'
short grass and the people see them
the consciousness Of the possession
of such beauty and brains is enough
| for the patriotic citizenship OF tn
commonwealth.
Therefore we hold that the critic
are dead wrong. 1t is true that i
the name Of reform the politician
who love the name Of the squar
deal, If they are allowed to DEAL hav
out-machined the machine. But thea
true men, this noble band OF hop
are not as the, Republicans and sil
ners and should not be measured .

IMPORTANT TO
DAIRY INTERESTS
Caldwell, Idaho, Mch. s

Caldwell, Idaho, Mch. g..
Dear Patrons and Mixers generally:
For the purpose of perfecting the
organization of a thoroly cooperative
creamery company, where all profits
go to patrons, a meeting of dairymen
will be held at the City Hall in Cald-
we'll, at 2 o'clock p. M, Friday, Mch.
18th.
If you want one-creamery town
do not come. But if you want to pro-
mote the dairy interests generally
over the valley, come and take part.
The Constitution and Bylaws, as
prepared by the committee, will be
read.
Interest on the money invested is
all the dividends there will be.
Most of the larger creamery COM
panies started comparatively, and are
still cooperative in their home towns.
If you are not ready now to cooper
ate in making your own products, I
venture the prediction that next year
you will be glad of the chance to help
to protect your rights.
Come, if possible, take part in the
discussion, and if it looks good to you
take part in the Company's business.
Very truly,
M. A. COMBS.
