It is now pi ellv certain lhat Bryan lias c'o • trol of the < n'y trust that con' : • ■j u si y »ffict his 1 »usines —i. c ' wind trust. . If there is t>n\ virtue in a down hill pull the g i ai i crop of the reser* vatinn country caunot escajie the gateway on it-- t ute to market. The Sail La ke Tribune gave Bryan the gl ffi h ltd and the glassy j5 ! eye. It welcomed him to the city, but warned him that be would never get the votes of the people there again, a he did in 1H96, "lor conditions have changed." This, coming from one of the free silver advocates, must have made the air of Salt Lake setm chilly to .he boy oratur 1 f be I'latte. Bryan's vi it to the Pacific coast was of short duration. He found iu the west a sentiment for expan sion that could uot be checked by any flights of rhetorical fancy. Here the people are too close in touch with our trade possibilities iu the Oii nt. Moreover, they be lieve that tl e Nation cannot re treat with honor Iront the field made g'otions by D.wey's victory when insurgents attempt to haul down the flag. Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, will in the next Congress enjoy the distinction of being the only United States Seuator who has personally visited the islands, studied their resources and watch ed the progress of the war. Senator Bevrtidge was born Oct. 6, 1862, on a firm in Highland County, O-, amt is therefore not yet thirty seven years old He will be the youngest member of the Senate, with the exceptiou of Marion Butler, of North Carolina, who is a few years younger than the Indiana Senator. The friends of Senator Beveridge claim that he is the original expansionist. No one has an adequate concep tton of the re .ources of the country track of Lewiston who tins not made a trip over the reservation in harvest time. The gold in the hills and the mountain ranges is no surer a source of wealth than that to lie obtained year after year from the golden grain grown in the fields ot the reservation country When the country reaches the limit of its productiveness the an nual yield will be measured by the millions of bushels, and with the question ot transportation settled favorably the farmers on the great reserve will become greater wealth producers than the miners in half a dozen ol the modern Golconda The prisoners in the Wardner bull pen made this wei k another attempt at liberty, but were caught in the act of escaping through an underground tunnel. In com menting upon the fact the Tribune makes the following queer asser tion, when viewed from the stand p tint of an administration organ. It says: "If the inmates had been allowed to escape and btcome fugt lives from Shoshone county and the state if Idaho, it would have been an exceedingly satisfactory termination to the pr sent unsatis factory condition ol their cases." 1 Itère has long Ih.*'.'U a suspicion that the state would welcome most any termination of the , ' ., U "' " UWH . ,ne b r ^"' troubles in the trials of the tioters, but such a frank avowal was hardly expected by a paper known to _______ The Chicago Record, iu sum voice «be sentiment of the state admiutstration. ' n,in s wp (fcc nw Trns, w,-,. ence, has this to say in regard to its pro taille tffe».t on the country and future legislation by political party: The conference probably has done either as much as was to be expected of it in the way of throwing light upon the question under considéra tiou. Some of the addresses . to be sute. were tr.tbng or öamboy- 1 ant. But there were others that i represented carelul stuiiy and deep thought. The influence which the deliberations of the conference will liave in the shaping of opinion throughout the country can on.y tie surmised, but they cannot be without their effect. h'or one thing, the conference has t distinctly served to reveal how un tenable is the t xtreuie position on half of the trusts as institutions that ought not to be disturbed were obliged .0 admit the existence ; of certain evils that should be rem edied. Ex Governor Foster of Ohio, w ho iusi.ted that the "trust has corne to stayand that it ought to stay, was as willing as any other speaker to concede the need for certain remedial legislation. On the other hand, those who would "smash the trusts"—that is, use the power of the law to crush out all combinations—plainly did not carry much weight in the confer ence. The papers and discussions will serve as a warning to the poli ticians who make party platforms that intelligent treatment of the trust question, and not mere de nunciation, is necessary in order to make the trust issue a winning issue. The specific evils of trusts were best understood and most* clearly pointed out by those who recognize the tendency to combination and to production on a large scale as something to be regulated and con trolled in the interest of society, rather than suppressed. If noth ing els. made this clear, the ad resses by the representatives ol jrganized labor should have done so, for those speakers, while coin plaining of certain evils of trusts, were careful to indicate that they do not favor a forced return to un limited competition. Prof. John B. Clark indicated the nature of the problem in the title to his paper, which was "The Necessity of Suppressing Monopolies While Retaining Trusts." Prof. Clark holds that in the t.bsence of special privileges the easy possibility ol competition, even where there is not active competition, will be sufficient to prevent the develop ment of injurious combinations which take on monopoly charac teristics. Chief among the special privileges emphasized in the con ference are tarif! and discrimi nating railroad rates. The first step of the intelligent auii trust programme should l>e the abroga tion of such special privileges as give to the strong undue advantage over the weak. Dingley Law in Practice. Whether you measure it on a revenue or on a protective basis, the Dingley tariff is proving a splendid economic success. Since March i the customs re ceipts under it have aggregated $to3,000,000, an average of $700, 000 » day instead of the $500,000 that was anticipated. The Gor man-Wilson turiff in the same pe rio»l produced $75.000.000, or one fourth less than the legislation which bears the name of the great economist of Maine. So, too, on the protective side the Dingley law is abundantly vin dicating every prediction of its lamented author. It has sharply reduced the imports of foreign c . , , ... manufactured good* which com pete with the products of Ameri catl industry. Our purchases of foreign woolens, for example, which were $49.162,992 in value in the last year of Gorman Wilson istu fell in the past fiscal year to $13. »3' 967. Manufactures of fi tiers have fallen from $32,546,867 to $25,132,495; manufactures of j8: » I5I to $l , , l6 ,„ anulac 1 troill $16 094,557 to $12.098,23»); wood, Irotn $20,543 810 to $14.41)9,. 487; manufactures of trou and steel, ! manufactures of leather, from $13. j Utres of tin plate, from 230.073 683 po Unds lo Io8> )S4 , S26 ' ^ 1 classes of imports have not fallen !

Against such as these a 1 1 protective tariff interposes no more 1 obstacle than a Iree-trade Increased imports of these competitive articles, these materials of American manufaetur trig, do >ot mean that the protec tariff nou crude tive tariff is failing to do its work They mean that it is doing its work—that it is making the couu t : y and the productive industries highly prosperous. P the otectionists therefore welcome fact that our imports of rawing®®» for iustauce, have increased from a value of $17.558 163 in the I last year of the Gorman Wilson tariff to a value of $31.876.342 un iucreaseil from $17 558.163 to $31, 876.342, that our imports ot raw tin for use in tin plate have in creased from $6,853.352 to $11, 843 357. While our consumption of these articles has grown very much larger, out purchases of foreign wool have significantly shrunken. They were $53,243,191 in the last year of the Gurraan Wilson law; $16,783.692 in the first year of the Dingley law; only $8.322,897 in the second year of the Dingley law. Wool differs from block tin and crude india rubber and things ol this kind iu that the bulk of our required sup ply can be, and indeed long has been, produced in America, if our wool growers have sufficient Tariff Protection and encouragement. The development of facts, the trend of events, run so overwhelm ingly against this "Tariff Reform" argument, as we used to hear it, that it is not at all surprising that the tariff is scarcely even mention ed now in newspapers that years ago were vehement partisans of the Cobdenist school. der the D.ngley law They are glad ] . that our imports of certain raw fibers have increased from $12,336 4 1 ® t° $20.290.727; that our im ports of crude imita rubber have . i Northwestern News Notes. ; few ■ !
