Osborn Statesman: In the Cceur d'Alene
unpleasantness it was not our borne miners
who piecinitated tbe conflict, bnt it was
due mainly to the influence of professional
agitators from Montana and non-miners
who follow the business of leading other
people into trouble. ' The authorities want
only the guilty leaders, not their dupes;
and the recent wholesale liberation of the
rank and file of tbe miners' union from tbe
military prison was right and proper.

Astoria Examiner: Mail carrier Woodard
whose route is from Seaside to Tillamook
lost his horse while crossing Carney moun
tain on Tuesday last. While crossing over
on the narrow trail, and about 300 feet
high, the animal missed its footing and felt
into the abyss, descending at a rapid rate.
When some distance from the ground it
struck a stump, which tore it in a fearful
manner and disembowt led it. After reach
ing the bottom the animal tried to get up.bot
failed. When Mr. Woodard got to its side
to Ret the mail sacks it was dead, and. fear
fully mangled. Although tbe trail over
Carney mountain is very dangerous, many
bave crossed on horseback, but this is the
first accident that ever occurred on it.
The colored glass windows of the new
Congregational church have arrived, and
are now being placed ia position. These
were purchased from the same firm as those
in tbe building that was destroyed by fire
Sept 2, 1891. The glass in the old edifice
was imported ware and cost $1.50 a foot;
but tbe article now used is of home manu
facture, much cheaper and of better quality.
It is not generally known, but it ia vouched
for as a fact that American glass is superior
to the foreign article, and received the first
premium at the Paris exposition in compe
tition with Frenoh plate or Belgium colored.
Connoiseurs consider our colors more artistic
and more neatly blended, and tbe quality as
much superior to imported glass. This is
one of the articles on which the MuKinley
bill has placed protection, and the effect
can be seen in th improvement in quality
and tbe decrease of the price to the consumer.

The Dalles, Sept. 21, 1892.
I Editor Tures-MotrsTAisssit:
I read in yonr issue of the 20th a gen-
tlemanlv criticism u Don the tone of the
protective ."song I sing," but which a'
lows the public to be judges "for a' that"
of the blows I strike. No courtesy could
be more acceptable, and I invite "Free
Trade" and his argumentative associates
to a friendly showing in your journal of
our respective policies,as factors of Amer
ican progress and their results to the na
tion at large under proof, not assertion or
theory, ot the superb sovereignty now en
sured to the common and skilled labor of
the United States and their investiture;
not of abstract rights, which means bond
age of poverty, but free access and invi
tation intended by the constitution f our
government to every man who studies,
values and will seize its defensive powers
and privileges.
In disoussing free trade and protection
and their relative value to the American
nation, and thereby to arrive at safe con
clusions and be able to judge which of
these policies, whether unlimited free
trade or defense ot our people and their
progressive industries and influences, it is
most important for us to adopt and to
foster, it is proper for me to state, that I
wish to do so, without political ascerbity,
but with entire respect to gentlemen
maintaining oDDOsing opinions, and a
fair presentation of all arguments offered.
It can but be a matter of extreme im
portance to our nation that inasmuch as
we proclaim to the world a system of
economies par-excellence,and a beneficent
distribution of rights and privileges to
all men, who bow to oar flag and become
citizens, that we rigidly protect that flag
and these privileges which under it are
offered for distribution, and also to pro
tect the effort of the native born and
adopted citizen to support themselves or
to accumulate, against the people, or
ganized machinery and capital of other
nations, who have no interest hut to ob
tain our raw material,' feed their labor
and increase their capital, and make us
buyers of their manufactured article at a
price which will support their labor and
pay adequate profit upon their capital
employed, including taxes and good
charges.
Allow me to ask any questioner if our
nation's welfare is not increased by man
ufacturing our own raw product to the
extent of the demand therefor, the em
ployment of our skilled and unskilled
labor, of our manufacturing capital, the
payment of the taxes of manufacturing
capital, "the building of homes for labor
ers, and what is very important having
said laborers and their families as con
sumers of farmers products, which to
save spoiling must find a quick and close
market to obtain a profit? From such
showing, which I believe is fair, the en
tire operation and earnings of the capital
and labor involved in this proposition re
dounds to American welfare and progress,
and what is sound economy, allows com
petition for its earnings to be the regu
lator of fair prices to consumers.
Napoleon was .an able statesman. He
stated, that formerly land was the only
kind of property, but progress' had pro
duced another industry, and that it was
as necessary to defend one as the. other.
No free trade in this. It is not out of
place when I hear men advocating the
buying of a foreign commodity or manu
factured article, or of. fostering foreign
labor and capital instead of our own, or
of offering them in free trade our markets,
to assert that it is better for our govern
ment to encourage the manufacturing and
distribution of its earnings at home for
the benefit ot our own people, than to
foster foreign interests.
The reference of "Free Trade" to the
rigljt to buy a cheap German hat calls to
mind the fact that when our country was
under the fall control of the British gov
ernment, a shop foe making hats in Mas
sachusetts was declared in the .British
parliament a nuisance, and Earl Chat
ham, vexed that Americans dared to man
ufacture for . themselves, declared that
they should not be allowed to manufac
ture so much as a hob nail, and one of
England's most , renowned statesmen, the
honored Joseph Hume, said that he de
sired to se9 the manufactures of other
countries "strangled in the cradles."
I have referred to these well-known il
lustrations to convince the reader, that
even so long ago more than one hundred
years, the policy of not allowing nations
who traded with England to defend their
own people and their industries was fully
entered upon. - Let me ask, for whose
benefit did they by .force, by intrigue, by
destructive, cruel war and the desolation
of nations over which .- they obtained
power; I say. for whose benefit were the
barriers defending these people, these na
tions swept from existence and free trade
for England established instead ?
Where is Ireland ? Where is India ? 1 he
last, like the United 8 ta'es, abounded
nature's richest blessings, an unmeasuied
warehouse ot resources. Under the con
trol of England, with its free-trado policy,
India's production of cotton, opium, rice,
indigo, etc., to be used in their manufac
tures upon their own soil, and in the em
ployment of their own people, was taken
from them, and a diversity of employ
ment broken up. It's most productive
lands opened out to the wild beast, and
its people discouraged with their wonder
ful industries and manufactures removed
from them, or destroyed; ; as George
Thompson', in a speech in the British
House of Commons since my recollec
tion, said, these lands were covered by
the bleaching skeletons of five hundred
thousand human beings who perished
here in the granary of the world. The
same authority says, that twenty years
after the industries of these people were
thrown open without defease, the men,
women and children were driven from
the work shops to the field. 1
Such are the historic lessons of this
century in wnicn .England, the same as
to-day, was the cunning robber, making
all nations' possible yield at her own
price their raw material, and forcing
them to be the purchases of her concen
trated manufactures.
I have this paper upon this subject of
attempting to force this nation by politi
cal intrigue and the- most unbounded,
persistent selfishness, to kneel with our
oceans of raw material to the feet of the
British nation and allow it to fix the
price thereof. British journals are
flooded with hopes ana prophecies that
"Democratic, unbounded free trade," at
last adopted by that political party, will
be successful. Their unshrinking unity
with the Democratic party and their bold
transposition and expressed fear of what
a misfortune the success of. a party de
fensive of our own interests in the com
ing campaign would be hurtful to Eng
lish machinery, labor and capital, ought
to be a warning homily at every laboring;
