TRIBUTE TO THE PRosPEcToR.

Every man who has sought to wrest
natures mineral wealth from the
rocky vaults of the western mountains
knows the prospector the real pioneer
in the development Of the great west
ern empire, says the Engineering and
Mining World of Chicago. His cour-
age and hopeful persistence can not
be seen without being admired. In an
address before the United States SEN
ate. Senator Borah Of Idaho recently
paid this passing character the fol-
lowing tribute:
1.-THE prospector Is one of the unique
one of the most exceptional and most
worthy of all those remarkable char
acters who have exploited and led the
way for the development of the west
The west owes him a debt of graft
tude which the west can never pay.
Always poor. often homeless, self-re-
liant. hopeful, generous and brave, he
has been the solitary explorer of the
desert and mountain fastness; the
man who has unlocked from it's i'm
prisoned silence the countless mil
lions Of what is now the worlds
wealth. He penetrates the most re-
mote and inaccessible regions. deties
hunger and storms alike, sleeps upon
the mountain side or in improvised
cabins. restlessly wanders and
searches through weeks and months
and years for natures hidden and
boarded treasures. Oftentimes his
search ends in poverty and distress
and failure sometimes in success
without the prospector-this poor
isolated wanderer--the great mining
centers of the west would not exist
without his uneasy. never firing &c.
forts millions of dollars now on their
way to minister to the happiness and
comfort Of the race would never have
been poured into the channels of bust
ness and commerce"

MAKING THINGS CHEAP.

one Of the best examples we have
Of the high cost Of living--big prices
for all necessities--is in the history Of
the old placer mining camps. There
are a good many old-timers in the
Occur d'Alenes who can tell about 1t
from experience. But who ever lis
tened to one Of these interesting stor-
les Of the pioneer placer miner and
heard him register kick" about 1.-The
high cost of living at that time. Moth
ing of the kind He would like to see
ia return of the old days, and would
go to the frozen north or the ends OF
the earth to find the place. There was
purchasing power to meet the high
cost. There was opportunity for err
fort and labor brought money to pay
the price.
Times are not as good as In the
days Of gold" and probably no great
number of people will ever again see
such days. But they furnish valu-
able lesson which it would be well to
heed today.
There are jobs and high wages in
The country today and they create AMI
maintain purchasing power. The free
trade theorists in congress seem not
to consider this side Of the great sub
tect they are considering. Free trade
win enlarge the market of the foreign
laborer and manufacturer at the ex-
pcnse of our own people. The demo-
crazy Is going to make things cheap
there seems little doubt on that point
but what Of the ability OF the av-
erage man to buy under such condi-
tons?

wIPINc OUT AN INDUSTRY.

There are $4,000 persons in Glovers-
vile and Johnstown employed in the
manufacture of gloves This indus
try Is absolutely dependent upon a
protective tariff. The Payne law dut-
les fail to prevent the importation of
12,oo0.000 pairs of gloves, though 1t is
fixed at $3.50 per dozen. These are
the expensive grades. requiring so
much labor that even $3.50 per dozen

The employees of the glove factories
are republicans, democrats. progress
ives, socialists and prohibitionists. In
November Fulton county gave Wilson
$3.50 votes, Taft 3771 and Roosevelt
2173. Upon the question of protection
the glove makers are unanimous. They
know that their employers have made
money under protection. that the
business has greatly increased and
they never made SO much money
themselves. Regardless Of politics.
they oppose the Wilson bill as blow
at their industry. They believe that
1t will wipe out American glove maxi

some new ideas on the subject by a
careful reading of the article.
The two points upon which Profess
sor McCaffrey dwells with much force
in support of the present system Of
mine taxation are the impossibility of
determining the value of mine for
the purpose Of taxation and the diff
Guilty and expense Of arriving at its
approximate value; and, second, the
fact that every year of operation the
mine is being depleted and becoming
less valuable On the other hand, the
market value Of the crops and the
productiveness OF the soil give the
land fixed and tangible value which
IL easily determined, while the net
profits from the products Of the lane
would be almost impossible Of deter
/ mination with accuracy. In the case
Of mines, however, while their value
Is practically impossible to determine,
and is generally matter upon which
experts disagree, the net output, the
actual profit. is matter OF indisput-
able record, and hence Is the fairest
and most available method of taxing
them.
In conclusion Professor McCaffrey
finds that there Is no essential differ
ence between the two methods. The
mine is depleted as time goes on and
its profits are the fairest index to it's
value. Land maintains its value from
year to year and It's productiveness
gives 1t definite value easily deter
mined. When the points brought out
in the professors article are thorough
ly understood there should be an end
to the agitation in the agricultural
sections of the state against the man
ner of taxing the mines. AS matter
of fact, 1t is just as fair as that which
prevails In fixing the value of other
property for the purpose of taxation

MAKING HISTORY.

Our morning contemporary, that
astute organ of democracy. with a
cleverness that is characteristic Of it's

draws attention to the transformation
of Woodrow Wilson from the emin-
ent writer of the history of his coun-
try to the maker of history, with the
evident inference that his present role
will add new laurels to his fame.
Maybe 1t will, but It seems timely
reminder that the last democrat who
occupied the White House, one Gro
yer Cleveland, Is credited with maxi
ing history also, but 1t was not such
that affords good reading now, even
TO democrats. The start made by
President Wilson has given rise to
the foreboding that history may re-
peat itself

REFORMED GOVERNMENT.

was going to cure all the municipal
ills of Spokane. So said the reform
ers'
Well, Spokane has the commission

itiative and referendum and what not
It has five commissioners at $4,000
each per year, and beautiful row
they are having among themselves
One bunch is trying to recall the 9TH
err, and the latter is retaliating by
forcing two commissioners to swap
jobs. A beautiful situation it is. and
naturally there is disorganization in
every department.
Dave Coates is accused of building
up political machine In his commits
sion department, but David certainly
wouldn't do that.
Here are some paragraphs descrip-
tive of the situation from the Spokane
Press

the city commissioners of Spokane, be

1.-The fact that contention has arisen
in the city hall as regards subordinates
would indicate that men of far greater
mental capacity are needed as de-
partment heads"
"This paper does not like to see the
necessity of general recall but there
is small use in not publishing what
the whole town is saying outside of
newspaper Offices and city halls
But If you should ask the man on
the street car or in the store or on
the street what he thinks about af-
fairs at the city hall, most of them
will say, There ought to be recall
for them all"
but in the meanwhile these men
are drawing $4,000 each from the city
for attending or not attending, to it's
affairs The. time has come when the
citizens of Spokane should cast about
and take the affair in their own
hands,

This is part of an appeal of wooden
manufacturers of Philadelphia to the
tariff tinkerers not to put them out of
business: "Snce 1894 wages In Am
erican wooden mills have advanced
from 80 to 40 per cent. There has
been no corresponding increase in
the competing mills Of Europe. Not
only are weekly earnings from two to
four times as great In this industry
in America as abroad. but the actual
cost of spinning a pound of yarn ar
weaving yard of cloth is at least
twice as great here as in Europe
this Is the explicit statement of the re-
cent tariff board. Moreover because
of the higher general wages In this
country. the cost of the buildings and
machinery Of wooden mill is about
80 per cent larger than in Great
Britain"

SENATOR MEYERS STANDS PAT,

following dispatch to Senator Myers.
standing pat for the proper pro-
will be appreciated by your constit-
uents In this vicinity
But Senator Myers appears to be a
democrat first and representative Of
the people of Montana afterwards.
This is not said with any desire what
ever to reflect upon the character Of
the Montana senator. On the con-
trary, he is regarded as man Of
high character and it Is said to his
credit that he was one Of the few
members of the Montana legislature
who was proof against the corrupting
influences which dominated the state
legislature few years ago when
money was the chief factor in the
election of senators from that COM
monwealth. Senator Myers was elect
ed as democrat to represent the
state of Montana in the United States
senate and he subscribed unqualified
" to the democratic platform which
denounces the protective tariff as un-
constitutional and pledges reductions
of the tariff, with the ultimate pur-
pose of placing the country on free
trade basis. He. therefore, and we
believe rightly. refuses to give ear to
the protests Of his constituents when
they appeal to him to abandon the
pledges to which he as a member of
the democratic party is solemnly COM
mitted. 1t Is therefore even with some
degree of admiration that we read the
following reply from the senator to
his constituents at Moore:
II assure you that ] am standing
pat. but am standing pat for the
people, great masses of struggling peo-
Pile who enjoy no special privileges at
the hands of the government that they
toll to help support. l must respect
fully decline to stand pat for the pro-
lection Of the wool or sugar indus
tries or any other special interest en-
joying special privileges for the bene-
tit of the few at the expense of the

elected to the senate tn stand pat for
the wool and sugar industries of Mon
tana. but to represent all of the peo-
pie Of the whole state of Montana, and
tn legislate for the greatest good to
the greatest number. If your views
differ from these ] regret II but can
not help it. | can not surrender my
convictions"
The reply has an honest ring to 1t.
The Miner believes Senator Myers Is
honest. but mistaken on the tariff.
There are honest differences of opin-
ion on great questions of government
From the beginning Of our government
men have differed on the tariff ques-
ton. Men differed on the question of
human slavery, Nobody now be-
lieves II was right Yet those of the
southern confederacy fought and
thousands gave their lives for what
they thought was right II simply
proves that men may be ever so hon
est and sincere in advocacy Of wrong
cause.
The people voted for change and
they are evidently going to get IL.
