WHY A PROTECTIVE TARIFF is
NECESSARY FOR PROSPER
ITY OF OUR COUNTRY.
osburn, Idaho, October I, 1916.

Osburn, Idaho, october I, 1916.
To the Editor of The Miner:
My daughter wishing to know some
thing of the tariff question, it occurred
to me that perhaps other sons and
daughters just coming to their major
ity and will cast their first vote next
month would like to be better inform
ed on the principle of protection
This is not only a deep subject one
as old as our government itself. but of
vast Importance to the financial up
keep of our government and to every
community.
Most of the settlers of the United
States We're from the British Isles or
descendants of the English speaking
people, consequently we called Eng
land the Mother country. In those
early times we produced nothing but
the raw material, and there was very
little if anything manufactured here
except in the crudest fashion and
mostly by hand. We therefore sent
over raw material to England to be
manufactured into useful commodities.
We not only paid for shipping both
ways but paid England for manufact-
uring our raw material which we
should have manufactured at home. In
order to stimulate this work our fore
fathers enacted laws taxing for
eign manufactured goods from any
country to pay the running expenses OF
the government and also to encourage
our home people to start into the
manufacture of our own raw material,
which we already had in abund-
ance, into useful articles for domestic
and commercial use. England, with
we'll established factories and trained
forces, could ship our stuff there,
manufacture and return 1t to us cheap
err than we could build, equip and
train workmen to produce the same
Tariff was placed high enough to give
our home people encouragement to IN
vest in factories, get them established
and train men and women to make the
best articles, which took years to DO.
They also had to overcome the pre-
judice of the aristocratic class, VINO
wanted something imported. To TINS
day the American people, to their
shame, will call for imported goods
when we should buy and demand Am
erican made goods.
Take the manufacturing of dyes
mostly made in Germany. After the
great war broke out no one could get
them outside, and for that reason
white goods became the style In thls
country, and consequently are in very
great demand. Why? Germany hao
a monopoly on dyestuffs and couio
manufacture them cheaper than any
other country on earth. Germany haa
millions invested and trained worklns
forces that could not be surpassed
Although we had plenty OF money
here to establish any kind of dye plant
and plenty of raw material to make
any dye of any color, there was no
tariff or duty on dyestuffs to protect
our money in establishing the INDUSTRY
in order to compete successfully WITH
free DIVES from Germany, where the
huge plants were established, forces
trained and labor cheaper than mere

To come closer home, take our own
raw material, and we produce lots of
it, lead and zinc. We can produce
pound of lead for about 3b cents.
When Mexico is in a normal con-
dition she produces for less than 2
cents, The Occur d'Alene lead mine
wages are from $500 per day for un-
skilled labor to $500 in normal times.
The poems of Mexico get from % to
90 cents per day American money.
Should all of the tariff be taken off
lead and Mexico be in peaceful con-
dition, how long would the miners
.of the Occur dAlenes be working?
Even with the tariff that is still on
lead they could put US to the most
severe test Zinc is another one of
our raw materials and would be al
most equal to lead in this district had
we fair protective tariff
Before Belgium was torn to pieces
by war, she could send us zinc cheap
er than we could produce it and put it
on the market. Mr.. Underwood saw
fit to encourage a foreign country and
discourage home industry by lowering
the tariff on lead and zinc for revenue
only.
AS we produce the bulk of copper
of the world, and are exporters and
not importers, there isn't any necessity
for a tariff on that product of the
NINE but in order to make that pro-
duct do its part to upkeep of the gov
eminent and to discourage the pros
pector and small producer the present
has seen fit to put internal
tax on copper The present congress
has lowered the bars or opened the
gates to every kind of manufactured
and raw material that we use or pro-
duce, and had not Mexico been torn
by a civil strife and Europe been in
one of the greatest wars known to the
human race. we would have been in
one of the worst financial disturbances
in the history of the nation.

AcETYLENE VS.. CANDLE.
The Former Is Rapidly Taking the
Place of the Latter in Mines.
(The ABODE, Anaconda)

(The ABODE, Anaconda)
With the use of acetylene, which
tends to make the working man safer
and more efficient, there comes much
criticism against the new and untried
article, without first weighing its mer-
its. The acetylene, or carbide lamp
when it comes to efficiency, is un-
doubtedly far superior to the candle
1t gives light more like the sun than
any other medium. 1t is safer, cheap
er and allows both hands to do the
work where formerly one hand had to
be employed holding the candle. 1t
holds up it's light in a draft in raise
or drift Taking safety as a basis for
estimating its merits, 1t equals, If not
surpasses, the candle. The latte" at
it's best is feeble light, and vittates
the atmosphere by taking up the con-
tanned oxygen. Air in mines does not
contain enough oxygen as it is, and by
using a light that takes less than be-
fore. the men breathing such an at
mosphere are benefited The gas
evolved through leakage IS nil, and 1t
would take 20 per cent by voldme to
make the air polluted to such an ex-
tent AS to make a man unconscious.
The residue left in the bottom Of the
lamp is a disinfectant, being calcium
oxide or lime, and is a good purga-
five when properly used AS superin-
tendents and shift bosses have good
lights with which to inspect the min
ers' work, why not give the latter the
same light to do their work.

WESTERN METALS ESCAPED A
HEAVY TAX IN ORDER TO
SAVE SOUTHERN COTTON

Let the north pay the taxes" is
the slogan of the democratic congress,
recently adjourned. And that slogan
was lived up to. Nothing better il
Illustrates that than the munitions tax,
carried by the Kitchin bill, nov a
law AS that bill was originally pass
ed by the house, it levied a heavy tax
upon the manufacturers of munitions,
but coupled with the munitions tax
was special tax on the production
of copper The theory of the house
was that copper enters largel yinto
the manufacture of munitions, and as
the copper producers have been reap
ing large profits during the last year,
they, also. should be taxed.
Copper Producers Protest.
When the bill got to the senate

senator's from Montana and Arizona

copper be taxed while STEEL iron lead

manufacture of munitions quite as
much or more than copper. go un

barNssing and it took the finance
committee three weeks to find the ans
Wer. When the answer came, the
senate discovered that the finance COM

Cotton Growers Rebel.
That was a shock to the senators
from the cotton growing states of the
south They would never consent to a
tax on cotton, not even on cotton en-
tering into the manufacture of eXplo-
sives. So the south, decided to elimin-
ate the entire tax on raw materials,
but to disguise their hand, let Sena-
tor Ashurst, of Arizona, make the

including the tax on cotton from the

all that was left was the tax on the

But we must make up for this loss
of revenue in some way" said Senator
Simmins of North Carolina. chairman
OF the finance committee, and straight
way the income tax, 80 per cent of
which is paid in the north and west,
was given another boost.
All of which merely illustrates how

gress.

LEGAL SIZES FOR FISH.

Inquiries indicate that there are
many who do not understand the ex-
act significance and necessity of the
six-inch law for brook trout and of
similar regulations regarding the size
at which other species may be taken.
Until an individual of a given
species has reached the prescribed
size it has never spawned, and if all
the individuals were caught before
they had arrived at the spawning
age it is perfectly plain that the COM
plete determination of the species
would be a matter of only a short
time. 1t is therefore to the interest
of every angler to see that under
sized fish are not destroyed. Every
food and game fish should have a
chance to spawn at least once before
being taken.
