nil DAY ......KOVKMBKK Gt 1809, WILE. TIIE l'DO IT ? Since ship building lias almost en tirely ceased in America ship yards idle workmen out of employment, and the carrying trade gone into tho hands of other countries a practical illustration is afforded of tho way tariff laws work. Building ships was a branch of Amer iciin industry an extensive and profit able one. It not only built up and supplied the wants of our own com merce, but it supplied to a largo ex tent the foreign demand. There was no kind of industry nioro promotive of our prosperity and strength than this. It lasted until tho Republican party gave tho country an application of its domestic economy. Congress "pro tected" this branch of industry to death, just a3 it is now doing many other branches. CChe New York Times says that "not a single vessel is building in the great ship-yards in and about that city. Six veers ago during the autumn, no less than thirty-two large ships were build ing in New York and Brooklyn yards, each more than 1,000 tons burden. Th3 cause of the decline of American ship building is in our tariff and paper currency! which has given the business into foreign hands." There was sufficient intelligence in the country to see this result, but, un fortunately it did not have control in the direction of affairs. ' The steamer Olympia, whose arri Tal in San Francisco from - New York was announced within a few days past, was built for the Sound trade between "Washington Territory and Vancouver's Island, and is a good illustration of the difference between protection and no protection. Those of our readers who have read the "Parsee Letters" and a more excellent treatise on protection was never written will remember the facts stated in them concerning the cost of building the Olympia, as de rived from the owner, 3Ir. Geo. S. "Wright, himself. Before Congress ex ercised its protecting care such ma chinery as Mr. Wright needed for his ships could be had for $23,000; now it costs $40,000. Making due allow ance for the difference between gold and currency, and it appears that 3Ir. Wright paid $10,000 for the privilege f getting American machinery. The x stove cost $225 though he bought, before the tariff, the same thing for $S3. And the result is, that instead of having two or three ships built, Mr. "Wright finds that he can afford to build but one; and the orders sent by China and other nations for ships have to be sent to Scotland. The Springfield Republican publishes what an Ameri can, traveling on the river Clyde, saw. It tells very plainly what results such experiences as we liaje related have: -1 coanttd sixty iron vessel within tbu dis tance, tbas in construction ; nor was dij count eomp'.ete. a I beran rotne time after seeing the first, nud ecaged in wonder aol amazement before seeing the lat. This does not include vcsc!s off tne ways and in the water, of which there were tier two and three deep, swarmin:- with workmen alonj the quays. Expressing my astonishment to my ere pan ion, a Glasgow merchant, be remarked that hip-build in?; was nt Tery active on the Clyde just at that time. I was ashamed to ey to my friend, we do not Leild iron rebels in the United States." Of course such a condition of things as we have in America cannot continue long without provoking some popular expression of hostility. Accordingly weriind in a New York dispatch of the present week, the following: 'An important meeting of master shipwrights' and journeymen's association was held to-day, to consider tho Lest means of retiring American ship-building. It was agreed to petition Congress to rercove tho tax on ship-building materials. The cpinion wm expressed that if this be done, Amer ica eaa compete sacces-fully with European build in jf. A committee was appoin ted to collect and publish statistics on the subject of the decline or shipbuilding in the United States." "What will Congress say to that? Will it take steps to undo this -injury? There are scores of other branches of industry that suffer no less from the tariff than ship-building, and with what reason can one be relieved and not all ? The difficulty comes from the system, and that must be literally uprooted before these industrial pur suits can thrive. Take off thi3 odious tariff let materials come in without re striction, and, instead of confining our handicraft to the market of this one country, let it go into the markets of all countries. But petitions won't do. There will be "no considerable modifi cations of these robbing, impoverish ing tariff la?3 while the present party is in power. It is absurd to expect anything from the justice, wisdom or patriotism of men who will compel every man and woman and child to take out Broker's License, under penal ty of fine and imprisonment, before they can take their butter, eggs and garden products to market. The rem edy ij in your ballots, not in your petitions. Ho: is Again. We learn that Gen. J. F. Miller, of Salem, has recently returned from a trip to the Atlantic State?;". Mr. Miller is accompanied by si number of his old friends and neigh bors in Missouri, who have come to iid homes in Oregon. We presume that they are Gen. Miller's kind, and, if so,, the more the better. We ihciu a hcartv welcome. give Tilt: IMILUOAD. The visit of Mr. Ilolladay, to this city resulted in a suspension of tho survey in this county, and tho organi zation of a party to make a rcconnois-! panes of Rock Creek Pass through tho Calipooia mountains. It was thought ! useless to survey to tho mountains, without first being certain that there I is a way through them. Mr. Jcsso Applcgato, who met Mr. Ilolladay here, seems sanguino that tho ltock Creek Pass is a feasible route. Tho examination now being made by that gentleman and Engineer Brooks, will soon dispose of the question. The proposed lino crosses th'o Willamotto river a little above Harrisburg, passes up the level Long Tom country to tho east of tho river of that name, and reaches tho hills of tho Siuslaw dis trict in the vicinity of tho Corvallis and Long Tom wagon road, tho gen eral course of which it will follow to Estes This line is some eight miles probably more shorter than that via Spores' Ferry, and, if thorouto through the mountains is at all practicable, tho road will bo locatod upon it beyond a iioubt. It is determined to locato the line as far as Roseburg this winter, in order that tho company may take steps to secure the vacant land scarce now, and daily getting scarcer under the provisions of tho act of Congress. Tho construction of tho first twenty miles is being pushed with all possible dispatch. Tho track for, perhaps, half the distance is already down. Tho wreck of the Clackamas Bridgo will of course retard tho work. But even this will not prevent tho completion of the first section within the pre scribed time. Tho Statesman learns, upon what it deems good authority, that the bridgo will be completed by the 20th of tho month. DORRIS, ATTOItXEY, VS. KEL 8 AY, JUDGC. Mr G. B, Dorri.s, an attorney at Eu gene, recently addressed an open let ter to Judge Kelsay, of that District, which has provoked hostile comments from the Oregonian and Statesman. Mr. Dorris describes Judge Kelsay's proceedings as undignified, uncorteous, partial and dishonest. He accuses the Judge of acting against him in the ca pacities of Judge and Attorney, of tell ing the attorney opposed to Mr. D. in an action, to object to any qucstiou that Mr. D. should ask and to "wake up that ho (Kelsay) had kept out of the case as long as he could, and that, unless every question was objected to, he would be reversed. Mr. Dorris further accuses the Judjre of ref usinsr to sign exceptions to his rulings, al though admitting them to be true, be cause it would place Kelsay "in a re pdiculous position before the Supreme Court' and of trying to induce Mr. D's. clients to "employ some attorney that knew someting," that Dorris did not know any law and could not attend to his case. The Oregonian tries to abuse Mr. Dorris for writing this letter, and calls him names. That won't do. If Jude Kelsay's friends expect to reply to Dor ris, let them answer his statements. If those statements are true, thev dis grace Judge Kelsay beyond redemp tion and bring contempt upon the Su preme Court of which he is a member on the Bench. These things admit of but one answer and that ia emphatic denial. The people may not have any interest in Mr. Dorris' quarrels, but they have a decided interest in know ing whether there is a court in this county that practices such things as is charged. It is foolish to say that Mr. Dorris don't know anything. Whether or not he succeeds at Kel say's Bar, he succeeds in writing a let ter - and one that the Court must feel the logic of, even if he is not con vinced by it. When tho Judge's de fenders go to calling bad names, it looks as though they were trying to avoid the main question and get away from ugly facts. The most absolute and overwhelm ing proof of the falsity of Mrs. Stowe's libel upon Lord Byrori and his sister, has lately appeared in tho London Quarterly, so the telegraph says, in the shape of a great number of letters written by Lady Byron herself -to Mrs Leigh long after the alleged discovery of Mrs. L.'s criminal intimacy with her brother, filled with expressions of the most entire confidence and the warmest gratitude and love. Mra. Stowe, upon learning of these recent developments, published an ap peal to the press, - asking that judg ment be suspended until she gets ou her forthcoming book. From tho di ieinaia she has succeeded in getting into, it looks as though she had better let that forthcoming book alone and leave the public to forget the last one she published as soon as possible. If Shakspeare had lived in these days, he would have made the Moor declare "Othello's occupation's taxed," which certainly would have been about the most suggestive thing . that could be said. They have a place in Portland that, goes by the euphonious designation of "Murder cr'a Cross Roads." mm "it up. uiiw mussssasassssssasssssi I Oil MKUUIIODY CltACH. NUTS TO Tho Commnvial is after Senator Williams and the Indian Department with a sharp stick. Pickett, himself a Republican and formcraly the editor of a Republican newspaper in this city, is said to bo the author of the Commercial articles. Ho has had ex perience, wo beliove, as a clerk upon the "Warm Spring Rosorvation, and having kept both eyes open saw enough to convince him that "the Indian De partment in Oregon is conducted on a system of unhallowed robbery." Ho declares that the $55,000 appropria tion by Congress, to remove the Snake Indians to Reservations, is being stolen by a 'ring," organized by Senator Williams; that before Spring tho fp- propriation will bo exhausted and the Indians will remain just where they now are, and tho $55,000 used as a corruption fund to promoto Williams' election. Tho Commercial: ... ... .,. . wa lika Bilmlniitrntlrn nhtlllv whororcr It tnav I be apparent from conducting a peanut stand to I ruling a Mate i an we are glad see that bena- lor W ilUatns tnauifeits a rapacity lit that lint.
