PREDICTS. MUCH MORE
FOR WARREN DISTRICT.
,Capt Thomas Hoatfcon, who was
the pioneer ot the C. & A. mining
company In the Warren district, stat
ed yesterday that he knew of no min
eral district in the world that has
progressed so rapidly since he ar
rived in lllsbeo thirteen years ago
as the Warren District and he added
that he expected to see the district
grow and expand its mineral indus
try more during the next fifteen
jears than it has dur.ng the last fit
teen. Hero Is an opinion of a man
who )ias kept clotfe watch on the cop
per mining industry during his life
time and one who has made no mis
take in the past In estimating the
importance of tho copper deposits
hero.
The opinion of CapL Hoatson agrees
with that of all mining men who have
become acquainted with the develop
ment history of tho Warren District.
It is agreed that there are more
miners working In tho district today
than ever before and it is known
thnt the numfcer will bo materially
increased in the near future when
the Shattuck starts regular ship
ments. Business men in Bisbec are feeling
the effects of improvement and en
largement of the mining industry
during the past year Th.s is the
story, coming from the banks, from
the merchants, the saloons, restau
rants, hotels and rooming houses. The

tising and Job printing and more
readers.
Down at Lowcl! there is evidence
of growth and prosperity and the
town of Warren is also feeling the
effects of returning prosperity and
with any further consMerable " in
crease in the mining industry here an
early huikllng boom may be ex
pected at Warren to provide new
homes for these, who will be at

FOR WILSON.
Taft republicans in California, join
ing hands with the democrats, 'nill
give that state to Governor Wilson
in the November election, according
to Rudolph Spreckils, head ot the
Wilson National Progressive Repub
lican league, who has just returned
to New York from the Paclfilc coast.
Mr. Spreckeis bases his statement on
'I?
biai:
arts received, from all sources In
lialgtat- during! a nlsit'of ten days.
So fearful are the Third Term, pary
leaders of losing the state that Gov
ernor Johnson has been called home
te fatrtf the stump in hope ot winning
bak some of tho vanishing totes.
'"The situation in Catffontla' said
at the Postotnce at BlsbeejArlxona,
p
Mr. Spreckeis, "looks highly prom
ising for Go ernor Wilson, and every
thing points to a triumph for n,m on
Noomber 3. The republican ranks
have beensuHMvide open as tho re
sult of the fight between the Taft
leaders and the Third Term party
forces. Governor Johnson's attempt
so build up a machine ot his own to
further his selfish ends is also the
cause of strife Naturally the bet
ter clement of Callfornlans ot both
rarties resent his attempt to restore
toss rule aftertliey worked'for years
to destroy !U i t t
"Thousands of Taft republicans
bate made up their minds to rote for
Govornor Wilson because they bit
terly resent the passage of the pres
ent complicate!' election law passed
by the last California legislature
which practically excluded from the
official ballot the Taft and Sherman
electors. Everywhere in the state
protests aro being made against this
law, the responsibility for which
rests with tho Governor and-his as
sociates. Recently in Lob Angeles
the republican county central com
mittee adopted a resolution declaring
that "the action of the renegade re
publican Roosevelt tricksters of the
last California legislature in enacting
a complicated election law, supple
mented by the barefaced seizure by
degenerate "progressives" of the
came and organization of the repub
lican party, bo as effectuall) to ex
clude from the official ballot the
names of Taft and Sherman electors,
entitles the perpetrators of the !!
liany execration of all honest citi
zens of whatever political faith.'
"This resolution further advised
that republicans -vote for Wilson elec
tors in order to defeat Roosevelt, In
doing so, republicans would not im
pair their loyalty a3 republicans or
their standing "as honest and inde
pendent citizens, the Taft leaders de
clared. ..
"So Instead of being effective, as
the Third Term party leaders thought,
their underhand tactics proved a
boomerang, and Roosevelt will lose
thousands of otes that he might
otherwise have gained. Another
weakness of the Third Term party
In California Is the lack of faith that
laboring men have for the candidate
and their grow ing belief that the par
ty's labor plank, offers them nothing.
I had the statement of reliable labor
leaders before I left California that
the great majority of thoughtful la
boring men; not only in California,
but throughout the country, will votd
for Wilson In the bllef that he of
fers to them their only hope ot pro
gressive legislation.
"The attempt 'on Colonel Roosov
velt's life which ail men deplore, has
awakened a wide" spread sympathy
far him, but I do not think it will
gain him many ''votes."
"THE TARIFF AND
THE WAGE EARNER."
Prof. Irving Fisher, Professor of
liolitical economy at Yale University,
and one of the foremost economists
in the United States, has the follow
ing to say on 'The Tariff and the
Wage Earner." - t v
-i"K is rlht .and proper! that we
should have a tariff on Imports; for
It Is a good way to raise money for
the national governraenL But when
tho tariff is used for tho purpose of
"protecting" special interests, this
becomes an atrocious, misuse. It is
doubly atrocious when the special in
terests try to luaka the workman be
lieve that he tho workman is tho
man who is protected.
'The argument that protection
'dams up' wages sprang from the
protected Interests themselves. They
naturally do not want the workman
to complain of the higher prices which
he has to pay, and they have tried
to make him believe that they are
raising his wages. The only proof
they offer is that wageB aro higher in
tho United States where we have pro
tection than in England whero there
is free trade. But this is no argu
ment at all, tor wages were always
higher In the United States than in
England oven before England had free
trade. Wages are always higher 'in
a new and undeveloped country than
In an old and crowded country.
"A much fairer comparison -Is that
between Germany and England, both
ot which are old and densely popu
lated, but one ot which has the sys
tem of free trade and the other pro
tection. .Krom recent official statis
tics which have been carefully pre
pared, it Is found that German wages
are 17 per cent lower than English
wages. We find still more contrast
between England and France, which
not only has so-called protection for
tho nation as a whole, but in which
each little Tillage has a tariff against
other villages. We find that wages in
France are 25 per cent below wages
in England. Thus we find, when we
compare countries alike In other re
spects, that the less the tariff, the
higher the wages, and the more the
tariff, the lower tho wages.
"But in order to find out exactly
how the laboring man fares we need
to take account not only of his wages,
but of the cost of living as welL
Real wages are not money, but what
money will buy. Real wages mean
food and shelter and clothing, and all
tho other necessities, comforts and
amusements of life. For instance, a
century and a half ago laborers lu
Rhode Island received wages of ?10
a day from which wo might think
that they were better off than the
laborers of today. As a matter of
fact, however, they tre much worse
oit, for sugar cost $3.E0 a pound, corn
$20 a bushel, and shoes $40 a pair. A
day's wages would buy less than
three pounds of sugar, or a half,
bushel of corn, and it would require
four day's work to buy a pair of
shoes. Those who claim that the
tariff 'dams up' wage must show
that It does not 'dam up' prices as
much. The truth is, however, that
It dams up prices more. We see this
clearly in making comparisons be
tween Germany and England. Tho
German tariff has 'dammed up' prices
but has not 'dammed up" wages. The
cost of living in Germany is 17 per
cent higher than in England, bnt the
wages in Germany are, as I have
said, 17 per cent lower than In Eng
land Thus tho laborer Is protected.
Germany loses, as compared with the
laborer in free trade England, in
both ways his wages aro lower and
the cost of living is higher He gets
less money for Ws work and has to
pay moro for his living. This makes
an actual advantage of about 40 per
cent to the English laborer as com
pared with the German. This is
about the same advantage for the
British laborer as compared with the
French. These are the facts, and so
far as they prove an thing they
prove that protection injures the
laboring man.
"But the advocates of protection
put up another very pretty argument.
They say that labor is benefited by
protection because protection makes
factories and factories give workmen
Jobs. They say that if you reduce
the tariff you will ruin these indus
tries, all the men new working in
them will be out of work. This argu
ment sounds well, but It is wrong in
every way.
"It is all wTong to think that a
laboring man's Job is something
which has to be made for him arti-
flcjally, and that the . capitalist
ln
2I ' i.-t.2T
rtrtsttliel laborer. The
3 - '.. . - ,
protected interests; have represented
themselves philanthropists who do
the laboring man a faror by offer,
ing him work. This is no more true
than the opposite doctrine ot the socialist-that
the 'laboring men are
BBBjMMM,lLjjKWLM' UJ :ge8S'r8;Sr'-t' W?2 -i"
really supporting the" capitalist In
any normal healthy country each sup
ports himself. ! J
"Our tariffs are 'dictated to con
gress, not by tho, wftge earner, but
by the employer ot the wage earner.
Can we Imagine that the employ
er, whose interest is to get the high
est possible prices and to pay tho
lowest possible wages, has contrived
a tariff to raise wages to the work
man and lower pricesT'
A pica is being made now to save
the new miners' lien law by tboae who
supported it in the legislature. From
what vc can learn this law will bojnow engaged in developmginlues
an injury to the chlorlders who aro
now leasing mines In the state. It
requires that the leaked property may
be held responsible for all supplies
and labor required by tho' lessor
bo that before on? may secure
a property or a (ease he must
put up a bond to protect the owner
against any debts that he may Incur.
Many of the old prospectors and chlo-1
i i
riders cannot do this and are thns
deprived of opportunity to secure
leases. It is now proposed that if
the law is sustained It will bo satis
factorily amended by tho next legis
lative session. However, a better plan
to avoid a bad law is to vote It down
and then if the legislature passes an
other that is satisfactory all will ba
well.
Dr. James Douglas' statement con
cerning his belief in the stability ot
the copper market will be pleasing to
Arizona. Dr. Douglas Is in a position
to make correct estimation as to the
future of the red metal. No man has
watched tho growth of the copper In
dustry closer and perhaps none are
better informed of present conditions.
Dr. Douglas does not expect an ad
vance in the present prico which he
regards as quite ample of all engaged
in the production of he red metal. He
believes that the .present pr.'e is
Arm and he expects to see no material
decline soon. A firm copper market
at the present price means prosperity
si
for Arizona Just as a good and stable
price for cotton brings prosperty toj
the cotton growing states ot the south.
Instead of a tax commission we
believe a state board of equalization,
t
rided by the constitution twould

Wo notice that thr DouglaB Daily

little the public service of Hon

year the Dispatch converted (itself
into a political 6wer through which j
all manner of slander ot democrats !
was permitted to run. The tiradoa j

tho Dispatch has turned Its mud bat

In the democratic appeal to the
American .ptople sounds the voice of
youth. The democracy has tho cour
age of definite convictions. It la not
thinking of retty, cheese-paring eco
romlcs, but of the large and vital
matters of Justice and righteousness.
I Some things are mora expensive
than change. Among them are the de-
Iterioratlon of national character
whleh results when good men con
done bad practices; the corrosion ot
soul when thei wrongs ot tho poor
find no champion In public life; the
debasing of the tone of politics when
evils are permitted to go unreformed
i because It would cost a few paltry
I dollars to reform thm.
I The republicans point to the gross
amount of our wealth The democrats
, declare that that proves nothing They
are scrutlnl,ng that wealth's distri

wealth is a national curse when held

TOWN SPIRIT.
(Prcscott Journal.)
Ono hears much nowadays" about
"town boosting," "booster buttons."
"boosting campaigns," etc. It's all very
good talk and should be repeated
over and over again.
But there Is a deeper side of tho
subject in what might be called town
spirit, the keen feeling ot loyalty to
any cause that belongs in our town.
In schools and colleges a great
deal is said about bchool spirit. The
pupils aro exhorted to stand by their
athletic teams, to root for them on
tho field, to support school entertain
ment as something expected of ever)
member ot tho school.
One High school principal known
to this newspaper goes as far as to
require that at all school dance,
the dance orders shall bo made out
in advance that every girl Bball get
all the dances she wants. He argues
that the boys should recognize that
even a homely or an awkward girl
Is a member o tthe school, and as
r.uch Is entitled to her fair share of
all privileges.
The fervor of Hub spirit can be
seen at the foot ball games.
If towns could have the same feel
ing how a community like this would
go ahead. I fyou root for an athletic
team, nothing could stop your commu
nity growth.
