PROTECTIVE TARIFF

''Protective Tariff" and wish to sell
their manufactured goods in every
country CT the world, tell us how it
is to be done, unless we manufacture e
ard sell as chearly as those coun-
tries wEo have a low tariff?
The profit in American agriculture
depends upon tie exporting Of our ex
cess crop to countries that are not
self sustaining alorg these lines, and
should we levy a high import duty on
goods shipped from those countries,
they would soon re'aliate by purchas-
1n- this class of DDS from the great
grain countries CT CanaGa, Argentina
Russia and India. This also applies
to all kinds of me tails as we'll as
breadstuffs. 1t Go not require much
cf mathematics n to see that the
market and foreign demand for this
excess would soon cease, and the
farmer and stock raiser compelled to
dispose of tfeir wares at greatly re-
duced prices on account OF no de-
mand.
After this war is over, each of
the belligerert col ntries are going to
rehabilitate with goods from coun-
fries where they can be obtained the
cheapest, and If America wishes to
Secure this trade, she must enter in
to competition with the markets of
the world.
The time has passed when a third

NEXT YEAR

The next edition, and the Observer
daT year, that seems fraught with
many important Internal as we'll as
external questions.
Not only will many questions OF
diplomacy arise that will require the
great skill of our chief executive,
whose mastery hand has so far,
safely protected us from the vortex OF
a war that has devastated and near
ly destroyed many nations of the
earth. But the end is not yet, and
each belligerent nation is striving it's
utmost to draw this nation into the
conflict
The year marks the period when
this nation will once more make it's
political selection from president to
constable, and the two political par
ties are already arranging for the
fray. The party now in power in the
nation from their wise administration
of past events, have won the con-
fidence of the great majority of the
voters, w1o will not listen to a
change, and there ore eliminates al
doubt regarding national affairs.
In state affairs, conditions are such
tha. a complete renovation is de-
manded. The Bringing work of the
last legislature, where fraud upon the
dlcor was not only openly charged,
but the recreant member expelled, to-
gether with the weak and vacillating
regime of our executive head, has
so disguised the great majority of
the electors of the state, that a
change of conditicrs in that office is
earnestly demanded
This party that came into state
power but two st ort years ago, is
now aimlessly flCundering in tie sea
of oblivion, without captain or trust
ed lieutenants, and internal dissen-
sions mark its fir al dissolution.

MINING ENGINEERS
FAVOR NEW LAWS

Washing p:on.-It has cost mining
companies of the United States ap-
proximately 100000 to- conduct

apex law, which has been on the fed
eral statute books at Washington

by Senator Thomas of Colorado,
formerly governor of that state Con

mining laws at the request of the
country's leading mining engineers,
it being the opinion of large NUM-

one time and not piecemeal. The
doom of the law of the apex APP

government offic' ais whose duties

at gathering of the Mining and
Metallurgical society in Washington
few days ago when the unanimous
opinion was EXPIRE ssed that the apex
law had outlived its usefulness. Not
only were the engineers present OF
this opinion, but kilograms were read
from B. B. Thayer vice president of
Anaconda; d. C. Jackling, general
manager of Utah, Chino and Ray
Consolidated, and John Hays Ham
mond, each favoring the elimination
of the apex law from the statutes.

that start may be secured in re-
modelling the country's mining laws
