Daily Alaskan JOHN W. TROT, KDITOR town h jxnsen, - - PCBi.ismras TcktboM No. Ifi ?tJBSCBIPTION lUTH Ofc. WMk. d*Uv?r?d toy >M month. by mafl. rbrt* month* by mall ttx months, by m?a ......... Dm ysar. by mafl WOULD HELP SKAGWAY With free trade between the United States and Canada the volume of the trade between Skagway and the Cana dian Y ukoo would increase 500 per cent, within one year. This proposition is ?o plain that it needs only to be stated to be understood by the merchants and other business men of this city. It would five Skagway, and through it the American cities of Puget sound, a large and constantly growing market in the Canadian north. On the other hand, it would add to the business of Whitehorse and Dawson, by causing an increase in the population which is en gage! in the work of developing the in terior country. It would give Canada the capital and population so greatly needed for its development and it would give the Americans a new market. The only concerns that would be in jured by free trade between the United States and Canada would be a few mo ooply enjoying trusts. These fear any thing that might lead to competition. They are interested in curtailing in dustry in the United States rather than in the enlargement of the opportunities for the investment of capital in legiti mate enterprises. The monopolistic trusts would use their influence to pre vent the opening up and development of an American territow not controlled by them just as they are now opposing reciprocity with Canada. They are ?imply seeking to protect their monop olies. There are very few strictly legiti mate industries in the United States but- that would be benefited by real reciprocity with Canada, The devel opment of Canada, should free trade exist between that country and the United States, would contribute as greatly to American prosperity as the development of the western American states contributed that of the eastern states. Every dollar of capital that is invested in commercial and transporta tion companies in the United States or Canada would become more valuable in the event of the establishment of recip rocal trade relations between the two countries for the very good reason that its opportunities for employment would be enlarged. ..UlS .. .n .. is _ It* .. II* The fact that Senators Teller and Dubois and Ex-Senators Turner and Towne admit that the silver question is dead should be conclusive. These men, great men every one of them, left the republican party because of its repudia tion of free silver coinage. They are now willing that a democratic platform should be written without a 16 to 1 plank, because they say the issue is a closed incident in American politics.

Adams, teamster), Market street, below Gold street, Redding. Cal., says: "I have always had a weak back. To describe some of the spells of backache which I have gone through is an utter impossibility. I have ached so across the loins that I could not turn in bed, and naturally anyone in such a condition will grasp at a chance when they read announce ments about a medicine which undoubt edly helps people. This induced me to go to the drug store for my first box of Doan's Kidney Pills. I was S3 confident that the medicine was doing me good that I continued the treatment and was rewarded in a very short time with satisfactory results " For sale by all dealers. Price, SO cents.
