TIM EL V WARNING
The Chicago Iltcord-llerald, Inde
pendent republican, is urging with all
its might that the United States gov
ernment not delay in meeting the de
mand (or a commercial arrangement
with Canada which will permit freer
trade between that country and this.
The Chicago paper says the opportuni
ty to secure commercial reciprocity
will not last forever. There is a grow
ing d:spos tioa in Canada to raise the
tariffs agaiust the United States in
the event the people of this country re
fuse to make reduct ions inCanada'sfavoi .
In fact, there has been a gradual raise
In Canadian duties for years and the
spirit of retaliation is taking hold of
the people.
!t is urged that there are great in
terests in the I'uited States oppo
sed to any reduction in the taritT or to
closer communication with Canada.
Of course there are. There are great
interests in the I'nited States which
are opposed to the construction of the
I'anama canal, to the regulation of j
the trusts or to any other action that
will interfere with their monopolies.
Those business men in the
I'nited States who are opposed
to the Canadian reciprocity aie
opposed to the removal of any of
the res- raims which hold the trade of
tl e country in narrow channels which
they contiol. They desire to shut
off couit eti ion because they want to1
retnin heir grasp upon the throasj
of the coosutr.' s and to shut out anyone
trom competing with them.
Free trade between the United
States and t a:iada and wise reductions
!n the tari:T genera';. , not nceessarily
in such a manner a> to absolutely de
stroy protcc :o Amcican industries,
would do more than anything else to
rcgu! -if thf> trusts in the United
States ... .to re ve the people from
the dis. uv.u ;l, - resulting from mon
opoly in p'uduction and of trade
facilities.
The ?* ni'r;: of the Hocord-H rold
that delay n _ I .n'.al is one that
-
diers beca..-- tb-* were in the hands of
the enemy t U nu; ? p .unly thai" any
thing else con. . the d- sj>erute strait in
which the I' Arthur garrison was
before the surrender. Indeed. Gen.
Stoessel j- ".etl the surrender of his
army until the very limit of human en
durance ha?i 1 reachi-d.
At this tin: o' the year when the
steamers tha' are piying Alaskan
waters are >j t ? ami far between it is
a shame tha* the iTerson and the Cot
tage City should come so nearly on the
sa:ue schedule. ISoth will be due here
Friday.
The contest for the honor of succeed
ing Sena' >r Gib on, of Montana, in the
upper house of coi.gress is very kVan.
It is the field ag.i.nst Kx-Senator Car
ter. The chances for the former sena
tor seem about even.
One of the b?'st northern publications
that have been issued in a long time
was the Christ mas edition of the Juneau
Kecord-Miner. It was a credit to the
publishers and to the town which it
represents.
The loyalty of the Or. con f-iends of
wtnator Mitchell to "The Old Man" is
o>ie of the principal characteristics of
the land fraud cases in Portland.

TAKE OFF YOUR HA? TO AN OI,D FRIEND,
MEXICAN MUSTANG LINIMENT.
FOR TWO GENERATIONS
IT HAS BEEN THE STANO-BV.
Your sires and grandsires used Mexican Mastang Lin
iment because it healed their hurts and cured the ills of
their domestic animals. What Mexican Mustang Lin
iment did for mankind and brute kind 60 years ago, it
does to-day. It has always cured and always will cure
any and everything thatagood, honest liniinentcancure.
IT SOAKS RIGHT DOWN
THROUGH THE MUSCLES.
Mexican Mustang Liniment goes quickly to the very
corc of the cause and stops the most deep-set, excruciat
ing pains almost instantly.
FROST BITES AND CHILBLAINS.
For*frozen feet, ears or other parts there is nothing on
earth so good as Mexican Mustang Liniment.
THE ONE CERTAIN CURE
FOR ALL HURTS AND ACHES.
No liniment can cure unless it penetrates the fevered
and swollen muscles right down to the roots of the
trouble. Mexican Mustang Liniment penetrates most
thoroughly. The deepest, most stubborn and most in
tense pain can be reached and routed by the use of this
good, old, time-tried liniment. For man or beast.
POSITIVELY
THE BEST PILE REMEDY.
Mexican Mustang Liniment will cure the very worst
cases of blind, bleeding, itching, internal or external
Piles, speedily and permanently.
2 Sc., 60c. AND SI A BOTTLE.
For open sores saturate a soft cloth with the liniment
and bind on. In other cases apply freely and rub hard.
