PROTECTIVE TARIFF FOR OUR
OWN BENEFIT.

There are many peopl who profess
to see a declaration against a protec.
tive tariff in President Wilson's re-
mark that mo peace benefit can rest
securely upon political or economic
restrictions meant to benefit some
nations and cripple or embarrass
others" The American protective
tariff policy does not come in that
classification. Our tariff is designed
to benefit America but is not designed
to cripple anybody. If nations in
Europe and Asia choose to encourage
low wage scales and low standards of
living, that Is entirely their affair. We
propose to maintain high wage scales
and high standards of living. In
order to do that. we must, in normal
times. impose an import duty which
will cover at least the difference in
cost Of production here and abroad.
Free trade means giving other nations
an advantage, and the Gripping Of
our home Industries. We do not pro-
pose to cripple any other people nor
let them cripple us.

WILSON Is INACTIVE, THOUGH
KNOWING GERMAN PLANS.

Ambassador Gerard's recital of his
experiences in Germany continues to
expose the inexplicable folly of the
democratic administration in the face
Of the plainest of intimation of Ger
many's purpose to harass the United
States. In one of his most recent
chapters, Mr.. Gerard tells how, in the
early stages of the Mexican imbrog-
lilo, he was informed by "a man high
in the German foreign Office" that
the German government had proposed
to England that the two powers should
intervene by force in Mexico, to the
destruction of the Monroe doctrine;
this to be followed by the forceful
colonization Of Central and South Am
erica by European nations.
AS a diligent representative of his
country at foreign post, Mr.. Gerard
necessarily reported this incident to
the state department--but it is only
now. after three or four years, that
the people of the United States are
made acquainted with the fact. The
administration took no notice of the
threat which this proposal carried
against cherished article of our ma
tional faith; and the president con-
tinued to submit to repeated insult
from all factions in Mexico. No eff
fort was made to put ourselves in
position of military preparedness,
either to enforce our grievances
against the European movement to
overthrow our supremacy in this con-
tinent. We were kept out of war"
until, when war came as was inevi-
table, We found ourselves as unready
as we We're unrealizing.

MINES EXPERIMENT WORK.

All work on manganese being done
by the bureau Of mines will be cen
tered at the new station at Minneap-
OILS, hereafter to be known as the
Lake Superior station. Since one OF
the chief problems presented in the
Lake Superior iron region Is the treat
ment OF low-grade manganiferous
ores, the effectiveness Of other expert
mentation on manganese ores will be
increased by conducting It at the new
station.
Wnile most Of the bureaus copper
work Is done at Tucson, the Lake Su-
perior station will undertake such Of
It Is may be peculiar to that region
NO superintendent Will be selected for
the Lake Superior station until

Mining men in certain sections of
the country are urging that, instead
OF providing for three new experiment
stations next year. the appropriation
be used to strengthen such stations
rs those at Salt Lake City and at
Berkeley, Calf. These minor stations
ire badly handicapped by their small
working fund. and some mining mef
n these localities deem 1t wise to en-
arge these stations rather than to
establish the new ones authorized.

Governor Alexander i'm

state officials to attend the conference.
He did not wait to learn the attitude
of the mining companies, or whether
the propositions were proper subject
for conference, or for any informa-
ton whatever on the subject. He SIM
ply saw another chance to pose as
the special champion of labor and to
indulge in his usual bombastic talk
about the rights of the workingman,
without any knowledge whatever of
whether those rights were being vio-
lated. Up to date the mining COM
panies have signified no intention to
confer, but that does not concern the
governor. He is not SO much interes-
ted in the conference as he is in the
votes of the workingman.

senators continue to offer every OBJ
struction possible to the government
and take advantage of their positions
to encourage disloyalty and give aid
and comfort to the enemy. 1t seems
impossible to suppress them, but they
have at least been made to feel the
contempt in which they are held by
all loyal and patriotic citizens, and
the people in their home states can
be depended upon to see that they
will not be returned to the seats they

NITRATE FOR GOVERNMENT.
Expert Looks to the Air Rather than
the Earth for Supply.

Measures for insuring nitrate
supply are far enough advanced, it
is believed. to make US independent
of foreign supply in case of an emer-
gency. A reserve of nitrate has been
accumulated sufficient to tide over
before the needs of the country could
be supplied from domestic sources.
Hoyt S. Gale, Of the geological survey,
does not attach great Importance to
the much talked of nitrate bearing
earths in the western states, but looks
to the fixation Of atmospheric nitrogen
as the chief reliance for our supply.
"The deposits of nitrate bearing
earths are of very doubtful import
Iance." says Mr.. Gale, ION account OF
the difficulty in recovering small
percentages of nitrates. These earths,
or clays, which occur in several Of
the western states. have been found to
contain in places from to perhaps
5 or per cent of sodium nitrate In
conjunction with sodium sulphate and
chloride. 1t is conceivable, of course.
that these deposits might be worked
by teaching and some method Of cry
stallation to separate the salts. On
the whole there is within the United
States no known natural source of nj
trates that can be counted on to fur
nish any considerable supply of the
refined nitrate salts
Since the beginning Of the move
ment to develop domestic nitrate sup
plies, frequent mention has been made
of the fact that during the revolution
and the war Of 1912, the saltpeter
needed for gunpowder was obtained
from rich deposits found in many
places in the east. Mr.. Gale reveals
the fact that this soruce of possible
supply has been studied carefully IN
the hope Of finding sufficient to justify
exploitation, If only as war time
emergency, but that the conclusions
have been essentially negative. "The
total amount obtained from these
minor deposits was probably not very
large" says Mr.. Gale. in comparison
with the greatly increased rate of
of nitrates in explosives
and industrial uses, the supply obtain
able from those sources would be, at
pest an almost negligible contribu-
Ion for present needs, even" on the
that these small deposits
would be worth working again as they
we're In the past-an assumption
which probably is not warranted"

LEOPARD SPOT" LAND DEALS.

Twenty thousand dollars Of state
money was appropriated by the last
legislature for an investigation" of

Still, the appropriation was made,

A TRIO OF REFoRMERS.

caldwell Tribune).
The state land board transactions
are pretty kettle of fish any way
you look at them. 1t don't make any
difference whether the defect is in the
organs of hearing of Commissioner
Smoot or in the exigencies of the last
election. The fact remains that some
people in different sections of the
state are getting state land on their
own terms.
Messrs. Alexander, Van Deusen and
Walters are gentlemen who were going
to make such wonderful records. They
We're going to clear the state house
of all graft. They are a pious trio
yet. They are still strong on pa
triotic" democratic rallies. They ad-
wise the people to lay aside politics
and selfishness during the crisis of
war. Under their administration hire
lings are permitted to parcel out state
lands where it will do the most good.
Alexander thinks he might retire.
Walters thinks he will run for gov
ernor. Van Deusen of coure will want
to audit little more. These profess
sional reformers are working the game
for all 1t is worth and the result is
the state land exposures. We wonder
ii the people will ever tire of such as
these. Or, are we to have them and
their kind with us to the end?
George A. Day is still clearlisting
at Washington. Professional reform
ers in office usually accomplish the
results which the disclosures indicate.

For the careless and forgetful it may
be suggested that their laxity not only
serves as cover for the German SYM

picion as to their own loyalty.

PAST AND PRESENT PRICES OF
SILVER COMPARED.

When the price of silver advanced
to the neighborhood of 80 cents the
assertion was widely published that
the price of the white metal was high
er than 1t had been since the civil war
1t was also claimed that in paying
80 cents for silver the government
was purchasing silver at higher fig
ure than at any time since the coinage
of that metal began. That both these
assertions are incorrect Is pointed out
by the Wall Street Journal, which
gives the following brief review of the
prices of silver:
I'm civil war days and up to the
decentralization of silver in 1873, silver
bullion was selling at $1.2929 an ounce.
The next high record was made In
1890 with high fraetionally above
$1.21. This was due to the extension
of silver legislation by the Sherman
law which provided for the purchase
of 100000 ounces of silver monthly
at the market price, provided that the
price did not exceed $1.2929 an ounce.
To pay for the silver so purchased an
issue of treasury notes redeemable in
coin was authorized.
American purchasers, however,
were unable to hold up the price of sill
yer winch steadily declined. The
climax was the closing of the Indian
minis to free coinage and the repeal
of the silver purchase act, both in
1898, The price dropped in few
days from 81 to So cents. 1t fluctuat-
ed around the latter figure most of
the following 20 years. Subsequent
to the outbreak of the European war
1t went to low of A cents.
1T is not likely that the United
States government Is showing any
profit on its silver hoard at present
prices, as it bought all the way down
from $1,21 to so cents and the aver
age is likely to be above 80 cents. In
coming subsidiary coin, however, there
Is still profit on 90-cent silver equal |
to about so per cent on American coin
and still more on English and French
coin"
All authorities agree that the pre-
sent advance in silver will continue
and some even predict that it will 90
to the price maintained under the
double standard, s1,2929 per ounce.
The tremendous debt incurred by all
nations involved in the war has
brought about condition in which
The supply of gold is totally inade-
luate to provide stable basis for
he currency of the world, and has
also created an ever increasing de-
nand for metallic money. 1t is this
situation that accounts for the rapid
'dvance in the price of silver and
which will insure high price for
many years.
