FRIDAY, MAUCH 11, 1S92. Bklva A. Lock wood has no war for the JNVw 1 'ork Shh to expose. Wbv are the newspapers of the northwest opposed to free blmling twiuel That was igrvnt victory forth single tax system of taxation in London hist Saturday. KlfeiKK wet his Urutus, Napo Icon his Waterloo," and, Blaine, tho "plumed knight" of the elo quent Dob Ingeraoll, has met the "mother of his grandson." TltR Uepublican oralis want the tariff on wool retained, no they claim, because, it benellU the farm er. Do they know that when the farmer appears the sheep disappear! It is a fact, whether t hoy know it or not. u . 1 j IT is rather uitlicult to prove that a tariff is a tax, paid by the importer, that decreases the cost of every tiling the consumer buys, nud increases the price of everything he has to sell. Our Kepublioau confreres have our warmest sym pathy. Drama the gold excitement in California some years ago, uommon laborers were paid 13 per day and upward. Will some of our high-protection-makes high-wages ex changes tell us what the tariff hud to do with the high wages in Cali fornia in those daysl Monopoly papers have been pleased to speak derisively of Con gressinau Simpson, of Kansas, as "Sockless Jerry." But we note with pleasure that Mr. Simpson is already listened to with respect when he addresses the bouse. V, .... V . & H ILI VUIJ VIIWV was that he left the Republican party. The Oregonian is fast becoming as illegible as it was before it gut into the new building. Iu another month it will be as impossible to read it as it is for the average man to decipher the hieroglyphics on Cleopatra's needle. As uew type and a new press do not help it any, it would seem that tho next thing in order would be to hue a new and competent force in the press and stereotype rooms. THE Woodburn Independent comes out in a strong editorial for downing the Republican ring in Marion county. Following is a selection from the article: "We sincerely hope the day will come when all men of sense will cease aping the conduct of fools. The truth is, the man who supports a candidate simply because he is on 'his' ticket is not a! good citizen. A man who allows his party preju dices to counteract the value of his ballot is a traitor to his manhood and an enemy to the welfare of his fellow citizens. Here in Marion county one party has held undis puted sway for more than twenty years. A ring has grown up that cares nothing for party principles or good government, and it has defeated every effort madu to either purify the party or reduce taxes to a reasonable amount." We commend the above to Bro. Nickell, of the Jacksonville Timet, and his ad mirers. But, ohl the funniest thing of all is, that "sublime philosophy"of I'aui'si "Knowing therefore 'the terror of the law we persuade meni" wm the west Hide please tell us where that scripture can be found! Paul says in his second letter to the Corinthian church, v. 2:J Knowing there fore the terror of the Lord, we most persuade men;" but the Weht Side lost its grip on Hamilton ian logic, and let its "prejudice" create a "sublime philosophy" out of what I'aul never said. The above is substantially the whole of Kev. Bonnell's reply to our strictures upon his speech before the Prohibition club in Mon mouth some time since. By an oversight in reading the proof, we said "law" Instead of "Lord." However, "law" is exactly what Paul meant. The culprit does not fear the state of Oregon, but the law of the state of Oregon. The sinner docs not fear the "Lord" as an abstract personality, but the "LAV" of the Lord as a concrete force. So, our oversight was phil osophioally true, and true by inter pretation. We are not surprised that Mr. Bonnell did not attempt to answer our review of his speech, lie saw the situation. riinnvrnvioy wool The Intellectual poverty of lie publican high tarlM something pitiable Once iu a while a new Idea is developed, as for instance that which Mr. Kobert P. Porter gravely announced the ot her day, to the effect that, as tho high Until uolonger keeps prices up, it is lie longer a direct benefit to the pin duwr, but might become so iu a case of groat economic disturbance, like the Napoleonic wars, ami should ki maintained for future use. But those argumentative nov elties and eccentricities art) rare In the average Republican editorial mind. The mcclmnical repetition of outworn shibboleths, imperfect ly understood even by their authors and entirely alwurd to tho reason ing tnltul, is the utmost to which Die Republican apologist ran attain. Tho Immediate application of these remarks is to the free-wool bill re cently rviKirted to the house of representatives by the ways ami means committee, Tho provisions of this bill are threefold: First, It admits raw wool free second. it alx-dishes entirely all speoitlo or w hat are knowu as "eoinpeiisatoiy' duties ou woolen manufactures thud, it greatly reduces all existing ad-valorem or "lion-compensatory' duties on woolen manufactures. Thosetwoktiulsof duties, specific and ail valorem, are often confused iu the public mind, aud purposely so, by the Kcnublicau press. The specific duties ou wooleu nmnu fact u res are duties im posed by the MoKlnloy law on woolen goods ut so much persimire yard or so mud per pouud, and are known as "com pensatory duties" lieeau.se they are BiipjKwed to compensate the Amor icau manufacturer for the duties he has to pay ou his imported wools. These "compensatory" duties are totally alwlished by tho proposed IViuocrutio bill, along with the duties ou raw wool. According to the Republican theory of legisla tion, therefore, the theory of the McKiuley law, the manufacturer, iu boinj totally deprived of his "compensatory duties, would, by the Springer bill, lm deprived, of all the protection he is now sup ped to need to onset tho amount of tax he is now obliged to pay ou his innorted raw wool. But the Springer bill goes furthe than that. It makes very sharp reductions on the ad valorem du ties on woolen goods the duties levied at so much per cent of the value of foreign manufacture nt the port of entry into this country. Those duties are reduced from fifty to sixty per cent Iu the existing law down to forty, thirty aud even as low as twenty five m cent iwl valorem, the principle le iug to make the tax bear lightest ou tho cheaper kinds of woolen goods, which the laboring man uses, This, it should always Ihj remom bered, is iu addition to the ulxili tion of tho specific or"coiupensato ry duties on tueso same goods, which are often more ouerous than tho ad valorem duties. hi tho light of these facts, which no Republican dare or can deny, how ineffably silly 1mcoiiio the cry of "free wool and taxed wool ens" as applied to tho Springer bill or that the bill "would force the people to pay the manufacturers the benefits that rightly belong to the wool growers." Discourse, wo must have some tariff tax to sustain the general gov eminent. Absolute free trade does not exist iu any country, not even in England. The principle of the Springer bill is simple, intclli jrible, and just the time honored creed of the Democratic party that tariff taxation is limited to the re luirements of an economical gov eminent, syul bear lightest on arti cles of necessity. The grotesque logic of its critics and opponents will provoke a smile j&n t'hronl clc. TJIOSKVOWS. If Independence Is to forever reinain "a post village on the Wil lamette river, ten miles southwest, of Salem," then it is well enough to turn the public streets over to cows and horses and pigs for pas turage. But we do not want to convey tho impression to every stranger that this is only a buck woods settlement. We have i progressive city here, and should endeavor in every way to make it bcaiitifulaud attractive. Corvallis has banished the cows, anil the people were not forced to sell their stock either. We boast of our electric lights, fine water sys tern, and street railway; but was there ever another city as progressive and enterprising us Independence, that allowed stock to run at large and do more damage yearly than the cost of a dozen herds! In every city of any conse quence in the state, cattle are called for each morning and re turned each evening by someone who herds them and looks out for them during tho day, at a cost of only about tl.fiO a month. Let us stop this running at largo of stock. The gain thereby in a year's time in the matter of broken down trees, sidewalks, and fences, gardens destroyed, etc., to say noth ing of the general health or tho eity, and the safety of children, will compensate ten fold lor any fancied inconvenience, Tub Otvgtmfon makes some ex cellent remarks concerning evangel ists as follows: It is an excellent thing always for the wicked to for-1 sake his wny. But iu doing so there is nothing that so Iwomes him as modtwt stillness and hiiinil Ity. One who exploits his sins, who tells what a vile being lie has been, is most unfit to bo an evangel 1st, He would liest repent and do works for repentance in silence. The man who professes to Im a re formed gambler or druukard, the woman who profnxscs to be arc formed prostitute, has no ituwuge to bring from his or her former life that can bo of use to decency, morality, und virtue, (lood peo ple, of mistaken judgment, "do in deed put such ou the platform us exhorters to moral and religious life; nud thus morality and religion are often wounded at their own altars and among their friends. It is a mistake whoit a reformed gambler is advertised to looting ou Inmost y, or a reformed prostitute I advertised to lecture on chastity. They would better be left to prac tice houoity and chastity insileuee. Humbling Is not discouraged by totting an ex -gambler on the plat form, temperance Is not promoted by making a panole of the ex ilrunkai'd.and avoidance of alcohol Is a bettor preventative of alcohol ism than bi chloride Is a curd of It. The poet say Hint "if virtue feeble were. Heaven Itself would stoop to her." But when vice takes her under his patronage the good oftloe may Ih sutipoctoil. If McKiuley' bill would do what its advocate claim, raise woikingineu's wages, reduce the prices of tho uooesharies of life, uud give to producers higher prill's, it w ould indeed be a wonderful docu ment. But the telegraph brings news each day which shown that on the contrary the bill produces Just the opposite results.
