CHEAP LABOR PROVES DEAR.
Cheap labor is seldom economical
labor. A few years ago, when the
war between Japan and China
brought the victorious Japanese to
the center oftne world's stage, many
an airy prediction was beard about
the wonderful invasion these clever
little Orientals were going to make
in the markets of the world. It was
said tbev wculd make bicycles so
cheap that the American factories
would be driven into bankruptcy
But the Japanese bicycle has not yet
appeared in the United Slates.
It was also said that the Japanese
were so cunning at imitation that the
American markets would be filled
with cheap watches made in the
auaint land of the mikado. Now
comes Consul General Gowey, form
erly of this stale, and present consul
general at Yokohama, with a report
to the state department that watch
making in Japan has proved a failure,
Though the Japanese wages are from
20 to 25 cents a day, as against $3
for the America workman, it is said
that ten of the latter can do work
which would require from seventy to
eighty Japanese.
Teu American mechanics would
receive $30 per day, and the eighty
Japanese would receive 120 per day
- But it costs more to provide working
quarters for eighty men than for ten
and the item of superintendence
also greater with the larger number,
So, after all, it has teen found that
it costs as much to build a watch in
Japan as in the United States, and
when the timepieces are made, the
Japanese imitation will not command
.as good a price.
The American workman earns his
Toperior wages. His extraordinary
energy counts. He can beat cheap
labor at every turn in the road.

A BUSINESS MAN'S CAMPAIGN
Large questions relating to the ex
tension of American trade are about
to come before the country. Every
intelligent man engaged in com
merce or manufacturing knows this
to be the case. Our demands in the
treaty negotiations with Spain have
been outlined. It is unlikely that the
defeated power can exert any in
fluence to modify tbem materially
What will be the results upon the
business of the country aud how far
can they be affected favorably or
unfavorably by the election next
Tuesday ? The inquiry "is one of un
usual importance. Under the pres-
sureof daily affairs business men
often forget the bearing of elections
upon the course ot trade and in
. dustry. Yet they . are aware that
periods of depression and prosperity
bxve intimate relations with parties,
platforms, administrations, treaties
and legislative measures. Occasion
ally a campaign is of extraordinary
moment to the business world. That
can be said of the campaign of 1896,
involving the value of the dollar used
by 70.000,000 people. . The currency
issue figures to a threatening extent
in the present contest, but to it has
bten added one that is new and re
rnarkable in every sense of the word
it la territorial and commercial ex
pansion.
The Philippines, whose fulL-posses-si'ol
we have asked, have at least a
population of 8,000,000. Porto Rico
and Hawaii, already ours, contain
1,000.000 inhabitants. ' Cuba, with
1,500,000 people, may not - be an
nexed at once, but it will be under
our military authority for ' an in
definite period, its ports and custom
bouses in our hands, and its com
merce regulated on a basis making
the United States a preferred nation.
Here are new customers numbering
10,500.000, all to be under our flag
next year, the most of them " per
manently. It is no stretch of lan
guage to call this an extraordinary
political issue. Business men may
ask how their votes apply to it. The;
answer is intimately, vitally. It will
make an immense difference whether
the congress to be elected next week
co-operates smoothly .and cordially
with President McKinley and the
state department, or is in the opposi
tion, with all of strife and obstruc
tion that would imply in the partisan
sense. With a Democratic Bpeaker
in the house, and Democratic com
mittees to originate revenue bills, the
president would be hampered to such
an extent that the whole process of
exnansion would be confused and
halted.
Business men are averse to . dead
locks in their own vocations. . The
law of business is activity and con
crrted action. The president be
yond question will be backed up by
a Republican senate after March 4tb
With the house also Republican the
government will be in effective shape
to deal with every feature of a new
era, one differing in certain respects
from any preceding it. By casting a
Republican vote next Tuesday the
business man approves the enlarge
ment of his field of trade, supports a
congress in harmony with the presi
dent, and helps to end the debased
money movement which, unless dis
couraged now, will come up again in
1900 to unsettle confidence and
paralyze new enterprises. Business
men are practical men.. If they give
this subject any thought they cannot
fail to see that the election of 1898 is
one of the greatest consequence to
them. It is hard to believe that they
can be indifferent, or that their votes
will be antagonistic to a president
whose lifelong study has been Ameri
' m.i
can ousiness prosperity. iiooe

IN THE COEUR D'ALENES.
An extraordinary political situa
tion confronts the people of the Coeur
d'Alenes. The party now in power
in Shoshone county, Idaho, has de
monstrated and confessed its inability
to protect life and property. In its
hands the law has been made to
cringe before ruffianism on Canyon
creek. It is unfit, and should be cast
out. ;
sheriff Heany's administration has
been notably weak and contemptible,
Two weeks ago, when. Shift Bess
Dan Conner of the Standard mine
was threatened with death and run
out of the Canyon, he appealed to
the sheriff for protection for himself
and fomily. He got no satisfaction
from that official.
"I laid the case before him," said
Mr. Conner- in his statement to this
paper, "and appealed to him for pro
tection. He said be could do noth
ing to protect me or my family.
Sheriff Heany remarked, "This is a
bad thing to happen so close to election.'"
That statement was made two
weeks ago, and it has not been denied
by Heany. There is no reason to
question its veracity. It disclosed
an unfailing clue to' the thoughts
which were uppermost in the mind of
the sheriff. It gave him no concern
that a law-abiding citizen hack been
threatened with death, and sub
jected to outrageous treatment. All
his concern was over the probable ef
fect the outrage would have on "the
ticket." He knew that in his hands
the law has been made a humiliating
travesty ; be knew that he stood dis
credited before law-respecting peo
ple; and he knew that a party which
cannot enforce law and order ought
to be kicked into retirement, and the
thought of these things were distress
ing to Sheriff Heany.
The good people " of the Coeur
d'Alenes want law and order. They
want the precious boon enjoyed by
American citizens in other sections
the right to earn an honest living, to
walk the public bigbwaj's without
fear or favor; to speak out their hon
est convictions and stand safe in that
right beneath the folds of the glorf-
ous banner which floats on land and
on sea the world around as a token
of right and liberty.
No party which is unable to guar
antee these inestimable rights is
worth the snap of a finder. Any
party which holds secret or open
sympathy with the deeds of lawless,
ruffins,or lacks 4he courage to stand
for law and order, ought to be cast
out by the people. Spokesman-Re
view. - -
ministry is a good selection. It has
been evident from the truculence and
the obstructiveness of the generals
who have held that office in recent
years that there was no possibility
for Dreyfus to get justice under their
administration.- It . was therefore,
necessary in the present .instance,
when a new trial has been ordered
for the prisoner, that a civilian should
hold the war portfolio. . -Probably no
military man would accept the office
under such conditions. In the new
trial a course will have to be taken
by the minister of war which will
bring down upon him the animosity
ot the army, lie will be compelled
to appear friendly . to Dreyfus, and
thus will encounter the anti-Jewish
insanity of the inilitary and of a
large part of the populace. Nobody
in France since the death of Gam
betta and Jules Ferry could brave
this sentiment so securely as can the
man who has now gone to the war
rofficc. Freycinet has been Premier
of France four times, has held the
post of minister of war oftener and
longer than anybody elsa in the his
tory of the third republic, is a mem
ber of the French Academy, and is,
notwithstanding bis recent eclipse,
one of the most influential men in
his country. He is by far the most
accomplished politician whom France
has had since Ferry's days, and he
was more successful than that slates
man in steering his' political bark
amoBg the breakers. . As minister of
war in five successive Cabinets end
ing half a dozen years ago, Freycinet
has shown a dexterity as a political
equilibrist not approached by any
other Frenchman since Talleyrand.
TAKE WARNING.
It the report be true that the Czar
suggests a revision of the Dreylus
se, be is a better friend of France
than is President Faure. It is under
stood that the president was the one
obstacle which prevented the Brisson
Cabinet from having the case re
opened several weeks ago. -His
hostility, too, was one of the influ
ences which helped to overthrow
that ministry. Events in the past six
months in France show that the presi
dent of that cauntry is not so abject-
Iv weak officially as some of the
writers on the French constitution
imagined. Faure's great and good
friend Nicholas, however, advises
wisely. France will have no quiet
ness, and deserves none, until Drey
fu3 eets a trial which will meet the
world's sense of justice.
- Notice is hereby given: to all properly
owners that all&ues and chimneys roust
be constructed in accordance with the
ordinance against danger by fire?, and
if said chimneys and flues are not con'
etrncted in accordance therewith, the
full penalty will be inflicted on the of
fender.
The following is a copy of said ordi
nance, regulating the building of flues
and chimneys :
Section 9. That every chimney or flue
that nerealter may De -emit in any
frame building within the city, shall
have walls ot good quality of brick or
stoue at least four inches in thickness,
and be laid in good lime and mortar and
be plastered on the inside, and when
passing through or near the wood work
to be plastered on the outside.
No chimney or flae shall be built
which shall have any joist or timber
resting on or entering into the same
further than will have at least six inches
between the end thereof and the chim
ney or fine. They shall be well secured
and shall extend at least four feet above
the roof of the building to which they
are attached, measuring from the point
where each chimney or flue passes
through the roof, and should such chim
ney or flae be deemed unsafe to the
building or buildings adjoining by the
fire warden, they shall be carried up to
ench height as 'may be deemed neces
sary, not to exceed four feet above the
extreme height of said building or build
ings adjoining.
And notice is farther hereby given
that all chimneys and flues now in use,
contrary to the above ordinance must
be removed on or before December 1, '98

Hoarseness in a child that ia subject
to crcup is a sure indication of the ap
proach of the disease. If Chamberlain's
Coagh Remedy is given as soon as the
child becomes hoarse, or even after the
croupy cough has appeared, it will pre
vent the attack. Many mothers who
have croupy children always keep this
remedy at hand and find that it saves
them much trouble and worry. It can
always be depended upon and is pleasant

Wife
Tikis woman was peculiarly afflicted ; physicians could '
do nothing to relieve her, yet she was cured in a simple
way. - She now sends a message to suffering humanity
which should be helpful. -
Probably no other woman ever suffered
fust as Mrs. Adams did, the wife of Rev. .
A. R. Ada mi, pastor of the Christian
church at Blandinsville, HI. Physicians
were baffled by her ailment, and for years
the was compelled to live a life of torture.
To-day she is well and the story of her
suffering and recovery will touch a respon
sive cord in the heart of every woman.
About six years ago," said Mrs. Adams,
"my health began to fail. The first trouble
I noticed was with my stomach ; food did
not agree with me, and my appetite failed
until I could scarcely eat.
ul would begin to bloat before I was
through with a meal, and the food felt like
a stone la my stomach.
M After eating 1 would have pains in my
stomach with a smothered feeling which
would finally extend into my throat and
chest accompanied by a choking sensation.
"I began to bloat all over and my hands
and feet commenced swelling until I thought
I had dropsy.
"In a snort time I had pain and soreness
in my left side which extended across my
back accompanied by dizziness, and then
followed severe paroxysms of pain extend
ing from the lower part of my stomach into
the region of my heart.
During these spells a hard ridge as large
as my arm would appear in the left side of
my stomach and around the left side,
a"! had a feelincr of heaviness in mv head
and at times could scarcely hold it up or
keep my eyes open, yet when night came
I could not sleep.
"I also suffered intensely from female
trouble.
I doctored witli ten different physicians,
but was not benefited. No two of the doc
tors diagnosed my case the same.
" One day my husband noticed an article
regarding Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
fcopie in the newspaper, and induced me
Jo try the pills.
"1 be
taking them, but excerienced
no relief until I had used the sixth box. I
continued taking them and after using
eleven boxes was greatly benefited.
"I was also troubled with nervous pros
tration and numbness of my right hand and
arm. My hand hurt so at times, tingling
and burning, that I could hardly endure
the pain, but that has all passed away.
I now know what it means to cat a good
meal without suffering afterwards, and en
joy a good night's rest.
"I am again able to do my work, and
have done more this summer than in all the
last four years put together.
MI feel safe in saying that it is all due to
Dr. Williams' Pink PUls for PaUPeople,
and consider it my duty to let people know
what these pills have done for me, as it
may be the means of relief for others who
are suffering.''
Diseases strange to physicians i symp
toms that defied diagnosis, have succumbed
to the potent influence of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People. Druggists
everywhere consider them to be one of the
most valuable remedial agents known to
science.

The government's determination
to send a few war ships to Havana
harbor is wise. . The presence of two
or three of Sampson's and Schley's

danger that the Spaniards will forget
that that day of reckoning is so near

Cervera's conquerors in the harbor
of Havana would warn Blanco that
something in which Spain is vitally
concerned has happened in the past
few months.
Realizing that they were about to
be confronted by an unusually severe

country have availed themselves of
the privilege of going to jail for the
ensuing six months.
