WHOM IT WILL BENEFIT.
. Other countries d not share our folly
in baying what they ought to make.
..The export trade of England with the
, rest of the world has fallen off, because
of the general adoption . of the protec
. tioi ist policy, under the influence of
-our example. Yet the volume of British
' trade has actually increased, so great
.has been the increase of exports to
America alone. For the first half of
1894, eays the Ameircan, it was 8,177,
, 000, for the same period in 1S95 it was
13,504,000; and England is only one of
the countries which has thus increased
her consignments to us. Germany has
. extended her trade with us still more,
even cutting England out in many lines
. . in which the latter once commanded
our markets, such as linens.
The worst sufferers are tbe American
producers of wool and woolens. The
present tariff was adjusted to tbe free
trade theory, tbut it was , the duty on
imported wool, which kept back the
American manufacture of woolens, and
prevented our manufacturing for export.
It made a heavy reduction of the duties
on woolens, and it cook the duty off wool
by way of compensation. The first
effect has been the prostration of wool
growing. . It was said to the American
wool-grower that the McKinley tariff
bad done nothing for him, since wool
fell in price after its passage. It did so
because Australia had three good wool
clips in succession, and flooded all
European markets with wool, forcing
down the price of our own, but not to
tbe European level. .Under the Wilson,
Gorman tariff we have reached the
European level, and Ohio scoured wool
brings 25 cents a pound less than it
did before the tariff was reduced. But
the' manufacturers of woolens have not
prospered in consequence. On the con
trary, an expert says, "foreign manu
facturers furnish the bulk of the manu
factured woolen materials consumed in
this country." Instead of making 75
and importing 25 per cent., we are mak
ing 35 and importing 65 pet cent, of our
whole consumption of woolens. 'The
woolen manufacturers are running at a
loss, and talking of stopping.
The Havemeyer tariff has been a ben
efit to nobody in America, except Prof
eBsor Wilson who suffered temporary
martyrdom at the - polls for its sake but
was awarded by a cabinet position
American prosperity has been trans
ferred to England, where it will remain
till the republican victory of 1896.
never been considered necessary to put
a New'York man at tbe head of the
republican ticket in order, to carry
the state ; and as a matter of fact,
the two v parties have alternately
carried ' it in' , presidential : years
since 1864. Tbe. locality argument
is of no value, therefore, to a
New York Republican - Who wished
to be president, particularly for next
year, when it will be the State's tarn to
go Republican anvhow. It is possible
that a man. from some other Eastern
State Keed from'Mainc, for instance
may be chosen ; but the logic of analogy
points to the probable selection of a man
living at' least as far West as Ohio, the
only certainty being that " no matter
where he may hail from, he ill be elect
ed by a large majority, and give the
country a satisfactory and profitable ad
ministration. - -
resident Cleveland, in making the
appointment for "commander of tbe
United States army, is playing with the
curiosity of the people and delays the ex.
rected announcement. Ihere seems
little doubt at the present time that Gen
eral Miles will succeed to the high posi
tion, though it is known there is not the
best of feeling between the president and
the ambitious aspirant. There are in
fluences at work unfavorable to' Miles
which may prove sufficiently strong to
prevent bis appointment. ' Two "princi
ple objections come from members of the
army who urge first, that Miles is not a
West Point graduate and second, tbe ob-
ectionable traits of character manifested
through an overleaping ambitiontnd an
inordinate vanity. To the first nothing
need be said in answer. While there is
no question that the West Point training
is an excellent one and it would be well
if not only officers, but every , citizen
could have its advantages, yet the career
of men in the civil war, who were not
graduates of this government school,
have Droved that abilitv could make a
man advance even if educated elsewhere
than West Point.
Tbe second objection is hardly more
serious. All men do not possess' the
modesty of Grant, nor the gentleness of
Sherman, nor could all be blessed with
the fortunate temperment of Sheridan, or
the rotund amiability of Schofield.
Miles is probably lacking in these desired
virtues,, but be bas proved that his conr
age is of a high order. - His career in the
Indian wars was highly commendable
and the scars on bis person made by
confederate steel are further evidence of
his personal courage. Now that Howard,
who would have made a worthy national
commander, is retired the logic of the
situation points to Miles.
ones burned down, and the appearance
of the new rity will be more substantial
than the old. Three bridges are being
constructed which will require SI'.OOO
feet of lumber. Several brick buildings
are now in course of construction. It
has been the common fate ef Western
cities to pass through a baptismal fire
which has not been altogether an un
mixed evil, notwithstanding the terrible
losses. .. '' - :
Hon. E. L. Smith,' the superintendent
of the Hood River fair, uses a happy ex
pression in saying the people of the Hood
River fair will be from Wasco and none
from Cascade county. There is more
in the expression than appeas on its
surface. The people of The Dalles should
reciprocate by showing that one part of
Wasco county is interested in the devel
opment of , every other, section. The
Regulator should be crowded during the
days of the Hood River fair with visitors
from The Dalles. Let us show the people
of Hood River how big a delegation this
city can send. ' V

FOR SALE BY BLAKELEY & HOUGHTON.
Consul Grinnell, at Manchester,
England, reports to the department of
state that between September 1, 1894,
and August 31, 189a, there were ex
ported to the United States from his
consular district $13,066,318 worth of
goods, against $7,413,146 for a line period
of 1893-94. Is it any wonder that the
republicans will make the. . tariff the
great issue in the next campaign.
The great topic of editorial discussion
throughout the state is, whether- or not
the Methodist ministers over in Wash
ington, decided that the hop louse was
a visitation of God. , The Valkyrie, Lord
Dunraven's manners, and the Durrant
trial have lost grip, being crowded out
by this more weigh tly question. -
THE LOCALITY ARGUMENT.
The assertion of Senator Hill that tbe
democrats must select their candidate
for president from the West next year if
they expect to stand any chance of suc
cess may be true, but it is contrary to
tbe practice of the party ever since the
war. In the last seven campaigns, says
the Globe Democrat, tbe democratic
.candidate has "been taken not only from
the East, but from tbe single state of
New York. Seymour was ' nominated
in 1868, Greeley in 1872, Tilden in 1876,
Hancock in 1880 (he being a resident of
and voter in the state when nominated,
though a native of Pennsylvania), and
Cleveland in 1884, 1888 and 1892. These
successive selections from tbe same state
have been made upon the theory of the
the necessity of carrying that state, and
Tbe defense in the Durrant case so
far iB amazing not fori strength of tes
timony favorable to the prisoner: but
through lack of it. After tbe opening
statement of Deuprey, Durrant's coun
sel, in which he promised to introduce
evidence that would clear his client,
the weak character of the testimony so
far means that either a. surprise is being
held in store, or that the lawyers have
been bolstering up their courage and
that of tbe prisoner by cheering words.
Unless tbe evidence promised by Deu
prey is forthcoming the contrast be
tween his speech and the testimony
brought in will hurt the side of the de
fense more than if less sweeping prom
ises had been made.. Should Durrant
be found guilty, be need not despair, as
California governors and supreme courts
are strangely lenient to deep-dyed of
fenders.
The D. P. & A. N. has advert! sed a
round fair to Hood River and return for
50 cents, 'good for the 4th and 5th of
October. This is an opportunity the
people of The Dalles should take advan
tage of, and visit the Hood River fruit
exhibit of which the people of Hood
River have every reason to feet proud,
judging from their exhibits of tbe last
two years, both at home ana abroad
The people of thecoanty should not only
giye them the encouragement of their
presence at their fair, but become ac
quainted with the fruit growers and
learn from their experience the mod as

ing a reputation for all Oregon as a fruit
The county democracy in New York
has come to the aid of the republicans
again and by its break with Tammany
has shattered whatever hopes existed of
democratic success.. New York will do
as she did last year give a healthy ma
jority for the republican candidates.
THE SPIRIT
OF THE NORTHWEST
PRESS.
Democrat: The Oregon convicts now
being all employed at productive or use
ful labor, we guess the people of this
state will have to quit depending upon
them to build roads and build them
themselves. No other wav can be de
pended upon. ...
. Spokesman Review r No one takes
seriously the attempt of the defense in
Durrant case to throw euspicion on
tbe pastor of the church. This line of
defense is not only reprehensible, but a
mistaken line of policv, inimical to the
cause of the defense itself.
Pendleton Tribune: The home mar
ket for American farmers exists wher
ever there is a factory or an employment
which depends- in any way upon manu
facturing. The marvel of American in
dustry has been the diversification of
industry generally during tbe last third
of a century particularly toward and in
tbe west.
Glacier: Some of the boys of the up

The annual Inspection of the National
Guard, in The Dalles, was held last night
in the armory and witnessed by a
arge number of spectators. Prefatory
to the inspection Captain Chrisman
drilled the company and gave some in
Btructions regarding some of tbe fine
points to be observed during the inspec
tion. After the drill the inspecting party,
consisting of Lieut.-Col. James Jackson,
U.-S. A., Col. David Dunne, O. N. G
and Major Sidney Collins, brigade in
spector. O. V. G., came upon the floor,
followed by the officers of the Third reg
iment, Col. George T.Thompson; Lieut.
Col. J. M. Patterson, Major John S
Booth, Captain O. C. Hollister, Captain
Ad Kellar, Lieut. II. H. Riddell and
Lieut. A. N. Varney. ' .
lbe command "open ranks" was given
and tbe inspection was then gone through
with by Major Collins. Every gun was
c'osely examined and the uniforms and
accoutrements closely scrutinized. Col
Jackson, who is an officer of tbe regular
army detailed for special service with
the Oregon National Guard, had his note
book in hand and jotted down notes of
the way the boys stood investigating.
When this part, of the -inspection" was
undergone the company was put through
a rapid drill by tbecaptam, the examin
ing party watching every move. Tbe
boys were on the alert and made every
endeavor to present a good appearance.
Major Uoiuns armed tbe company lor a
short time and then gave the lieuten
ants, Reese and McAvoy a chance to ex
ercise command by way of testing their
ability to hold commissions from the gov
ernor. .Both officers acquitted them'
selves creditably.. The hospital corps had
also their turn for inspection.
A very amusing incident happened
during the eyening, when one of the non
commissioned otncers met with tbe un
pardonable mishap of having his sword
taken from him while on duty. Some
joshers, sitting in a corner, called the
officer over to them and while some of
the number engaged him in an interest
ing conversation another of the crowd
softly slipped tbe sword from its scabbard
and hid it from sight. The loss was not
discovered for some minutes and then all
trace .of tbe weapon was gone and the
dismantled officer had to go upon parade
minus a portion of his regalia. The loss
of a sword to an officer while on duty is
must either resist and resist vigorously
or surrender some of our time honored
independence." The colonel was em
phatic in declaring that our relations
with England are exceedingly precar
ious and great attention should be paid
our army and navy.

bill. In . discussing tTiat section of
country with a Chboniclc reporter,
Mr. Sharp said : "Tbe grade opens up a
new route and road seventeen miles in
length between Antelope and the inter
section of Current Creek and Muddy and
overcomes - one of the most difficult
pieces of road in Wasco county.
" ' 'The grade itself on Current Creek hill
is five miles in lepgth and reaches an
elevation of 1500 feet. The road follows
in a winding course down the mountain
side, principally on the south slope, fol
lowing all points of the compass along
over the most difficult stony, ground into
rocky; ledges, wherever the grade per
chance would fall. - The road is a great
success and is substantially built. The
grade permits the teamster to haul hi
full load without 'dropping the trJVl
wagon, or over-exerting his team,
"Much credit is due Mr. 3. H. Sherar
for his success and enterprise in building
this grade. In addition to the five miles
of grade- there are two miles of ap
proaches that were no small item.
"Tbe fact ia there are seven miles off
load grading of easy travel, built in
first-class shape ever a most difficult
