COST OF LIVING IN ENGLAND.
(Boise Statesman)

In this country the high cost of liv-
ing is enmeshed In maze of delud-
ing politics. England is also con-
fronted by that question, as Is every
nation, but when England considers 1t
the board minded man comes upon
the scene instead Of the narrow mind
ed politician and reason instead of
claptrap
| An association of distinguished
Englishmen met last week to consider
the subject There were no party
lines discernibe. The members of the
association went about their task
without suspicion of the partisan
ship and the demagogy observed
on this side. The chief topic discussed
was the economic effects of the. PAN
anna canal, although other phases of
the momentous problem were consid-
ered
The results will be seen in improv-
ed conditions for the English people
for both laws and industrial move
|
tions of the body.
The belief of these gentlemen and
of Englishmen generally is that open
ing of the Panama canal will make
living cheaper in that country, for
England, although having built w
whatever of manufacturing it has en-
Ijoyed under protection, is to large
extent a free trade country; and the
admission of food free of duty from
supply sources encouraged and in
creased by the altered route Of trans
portation will undoubtedly make liv-
ing cheaper there.
But the English association had to
consider also the ability of their peo-
pie to pay any price. However cheap
1t might be prohibitive for great
many If they were not employed. That
has been a serious matter especially
in view of the manner in which our
competitive industrial development
under protection has minnimizcd the
English industrial activity.
| The present English view is that
their industries will be aided through
passage of the free trade bill by con-
yress and If that shall prove the case.
with the cheaper food stuffs promised
as the result of the canal traffic and
free admission. England will be d
much more desirable abiding place for
millions Of people than 1t has been in
many years.

PREACHING AND PRACTICE.

The following paragraphs, from the
Spokesman Review. sound somewhat
strange, coming from that source:
Since the last free trade admins
tration Of 20 years ago a new genera
ton has grown up. None of these has
personal knowledge Of the low prices
and wage disasters experienced undo,
free trade. Many of those who were
old enough to vote 20 years ago have
forgotten during the intervening years
of remarkable prosperity what they
suffered under free trade under the
protective tariff.
1T is an unfortunate fact that the
people of the United States seem t.
find 1t necessary to put their fingers In
the fire Of free trade about once In 20
years in order to be reminded that ii
will burn them"
The Spokesman Review has plenty
to learn along these lines Seventeen
years ago, in 1896, at the end of the
free trade period of which 1t speaks,
that paper was a strong supporter II
Bryan for the presidency and opposed
to Mckinley, the very embodiment of
protection. It did the same thing foul
years later. 1t never was protection
paper till hit by the income tax.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1913-09-25

AS political asset Mr.. Bryan IL
evidently not so valuable as at first
hoped. President Wilson put him in
the cabinet in return for his services
at the nominating convention. yet UNI
doubtedly presuming that the secre-
tary would strengthen the administra-
ton politically. says the Boise States
man.
He has not done so. Injuring him
self immensely by neglecting the af-
fairs of the nation for the lecture
platform in order to augment his Off
cial salary, whereas he should have
been willing to make some sacrifice, as
others had before him, from his am
pie fortune. he has also injured the
administration and the democratic
party.

tacular speeches that were expected t.
save the day, Maine went republican

WALLACE SHOULD JOIN CHORUS

"The biggest noise the world has
ever heard" will occur on October 10.
On that date the great dyke In the
Culebra cut will be blown out which
will permit the waters of the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans to unite In the
Panama canal. The instant the great
explosion takes place the news Will be
flashed to every city on the Pacific
coast and to many interior cities, and
this flash will be the signal for salutes
TO be fired. whistles to blow, bells to
ring and for the starting of every
noise making instrument In honor or
the greatest achievement of modern
times. It is confidently expected that
the completion Of the Panama canal
will mark the beginning of period CT
wonderful commercial prosperity on
the Pacific coast, and the beneficial
effects will be felt in the remotest viii
lage in the intermour counnc
The completion of the Panama
canal has special significance to north
Idaho, for by the time 1t is formally
opened for traffic the canal at Cello
on the Columbia river, will also be
completed which will give water
TRANSFORMATION from Lewiston to the
sea. Thus in addition to the general
benefits which will come to the Pa
cifc coast through the completion II
the Panama canal, north Idaho VIII
also have the advantage of water
Transportation to the sea.
III 1t is therefore highly proper that
Wallace should Join in the mighty
chorus by which the people of the Pa
cific coast will hail the opening OF the
canal. The board Of trade should ar
range a salute In answer TO the finai
shot that will remove the last barrier
ii the canal. Arrangements should DC
made with the telegraph company
here to receive the flash, which would
