DARE NOT SPECIFY
"We denounce protection at a
robbery of the many to enrich
the few" ii the language of the
Democratic national platform
adopted at St. Louis, Mo., on
JulyS, 1904.. J
Judge A B Parker, the can
did ate for President on that
platform in his address accept
ing the nomination on August
10, alter styling the platform au
admirable one, gave out the fol
lowing generalities. "The pres
ent tariff law is unjust in its
operation, excessive in mauy of
its rates, and so framed in par
ticular instances as to exact in
ordinate profits from the people."
As this was the . first public
utterance of Judge Parker on an
economical question, the people
would have been pleased if be
bad been more specific. If the
law is unjust in his opinion,
candor insiBtB that he point out
the injustice. Is the law un
just to Americans or foreigners?
Why did not Judge Parker take
the people in his confidence and
point out at least a tew of the
"many" of the present tariff
rates which are excessive. If
the present tariff is so framed in
"particular instances as to exact
iuordinate profits from - the
people"' why did be not specify
at least one of those particular
instances?
The present tariff rates are
placed on several hundred differ
ent articles that men are pro
ducing and have their means
invested iu . It is only common
fairness in a man, who proposes
to change a law under which a
man or thousands of men have
invested their means, to inform
them of his purpose so that he
or they may prepare to meet
the change and not be forced
blindly into bankruptcy by the
law makers. If Judge Parker
thinks the present tariff rate of
2 cents a pouad on beef, mutton
and pork is one of the particular
instances that allows inordinate
profits to the produoetF in the
United States, injustice to the
beef aud mutton raisers on the
Pacifio slope and pork growers
in the corn states, he should say
so, that they can arrange for the
change aud predare to meet,
without protection, competition
from the cattle and sheep ranges
of Mexico, South America and
Australia where land is cheap
er and wages lower than in the
United States.
There are 51,630,144 sheep in
the United Slates valued at

times In the history of th Unit
ed States the experiment has
been trie) to lower the tat iff on
wo il but always with the result
of reducing the number of sheep
aud seriously injuring the busi
ness and forcing buudretU to ,

. If Judge Parker tbiuks the
protection of one cent per pound
and 35 per cent sdvaloriuin on
American , grown preserved
fruits Bhould be declared robbery
of Congress and abolished, it is
only justice to the tons "f thous
ands of people with millions of:
dollars invested in fruitgrowing
and preserving thut thev be
warned of their danger.
The sentence which is quoted
from Judge Parker's address
clearly Bhows that, if elected, he '
will follow the platform which
he calls au admirable one and
treat protection hb robbery and
abolish the system and rear
range the taritl rates on the
theory of tariff fur revenue only,
aud that without notice
It takes neither the gift f
prophecy nor a long memory to
foresee the conseqjence of such
a course. The hard times of
Cleveland's second trtn tell it.
As witl be noted in the ar
ticle iu yesterday's Observer
concerning the creamery, the
La Grande creamery is, at the
present time, tiring tho product
of 400 cows. Creamery palioiis
ejlimule the average production
of a tlairy cow at $72 per an
num or $6 per month. On
this basis the La Grande
creamery is paying itp ratrons
in this vicinity $300 per month
or $3,600 per annum. This
amount will be greatly in
creased during the next year, as
each month many new patrons
are added to Ihe list.
Our business men are all pre
paring without exception for a
large fall trade in tbis city and
every indication confirms their
expectations We are assured of
good prices for everything we
have for sale and that means
mucv for Grande Ronde valley
as we have large quantities of
divers products.
Mr. Depew would be more
strenuous in his support- of Root
for Governor if it were not for
the fact thut the Senutorship is
considered as thrown in with
the Governorship.
