A MARVELOUS PltOGIlFSS, The census of manufactures for 1890 bas at last been compiled, and the bulletin in which its results are published is most convincing evi dence of the benefits of protection, Bay the New York Tribune: It if no longer strange that democratic officials have hindered the publica tion of these results as long as pos sible, and have subjected them to rigid scrutiny and overhauling by free trade experts, in the hope that ground might be found for sup pressing or materially altering them. What alterations have been made since the original returns were com piled is not yet known; there is evidence that in some cases the ex perts employed to compile statistics of manufactures were urged and virtually ordered by democratic officials to alter their figures. But since the Hon. Carroll D. "Wright took charge of the bureau, his rep utation as a man of impartiality and fidelity has warranted th) belief that the returns would be published without further distortion, and the manufacturing figures now made public will doubtless be accepted on his authority as veracious com pilations from the returns. These show au increase from 1880 to 1890 of 120.76 per cent in the capital employed, 65.74 per- cent in the number of hands, 131.13 per cent in the wages paid, 47.77 per cent in the cost of materials, and 69.27 per cent in the value of products It will be noticed at once that the increase in wages per hand must have advanced remarkably during the decade. The average in 1880 for all employes was $347 86, and in 1890 it was $485 10, showing an in crease ot per cent, this is gratifying confirmation of records which have been from time to time quoted by the Tribune, as thcpe show a larger increase during the same decade than was disclosed by the much more limited comparisons embraced in the report of the senate finance committee. From I860 to 1880 the two records substantially agreed, making the advance in wages of manufacturing and me chanical hands a little over 40 per cent. It is not surprising that a democratic administration was slow in giving out the information that a gain of over 39 per cent had also been made during the last decade, Commissio ier Wrght takes care, indeed, to call special attention to the fact that the figures included for both dates the wages of officials, firm members and clerks, number ing in 1890 426,139 less than a tenth of the whole and a separate statement is now given of the, wages paid to other employes, 4,049,955 in number, wnieh averaged in 1890 444 19 for each person, including men, women and children. Of course it will be perceived that no change that can have occurred in the wages of only a tenth of the whole number of wage-earners, whose wages were about ft sixth of the whole, can account for the grout advance in the aggregate. The increase in value of products, again, was little over half the in crease in wages paid. This wits because the prices of commodities were decidedly lower iu liiM) than in 1880. The actual decline, as records prove, was uearly 20 per cent, so that had the $9,054,000,000 worth of products in 1890 been valued at the prices curreut in 1880, the aggregntcwould have been about $11,075,000,000, and the increase in value of products would have Ikhju about 107 per cent The hands employed, therefore, gained in two ways,iu the amouut of wages received, and in the increased purchasing power of their wages measured by cost of the things pro duced. The hands earned enough to buy H per cent, of the things produced in 1880. But in I860 they earned enough to buy almost 24 percent of the things produced. So great a change for benefit of the working people has probably never been realized in any other decade. A striking illustration ot this change is found iu the fact that the product of the flour and bread making Industry, and of the iron and steel industry, including foundries and machine shops, wire and wire-working, were about the same in 1880 aud iu 1890, namely, $371,010,608 for the flour and bread coucerus, aud $570,292,442 for the irou-working concerns. But in 1890 the value of product of flour mills and bakeries had only raised to $612,393,009, but the value of products of the iron-working estab lishments had risen to $1,012,609, 602. The obvious reason is that the cost of flour, the chief product of the grist mills, was from $4 70 to $8 75 per barrel in 1880, but only $3 05 to $6 per barrel in 1890, so that a barrel for each inhabitant at the highest price each year would have cost about $432,000,000 in 1880, but only $372,000,000 in 1890 The products ofjthe irou works also declined gmilly iu price, pig iron from $28 50 to $18 40, steel rail from $67 50 to $31 75, and nails from $3 68 to $2 !er keg, but the production nevertheless increased so enormously that the value ol products nearly doubled. It may instruct free traders at Washington to note that in tlour we have tin whole world for a market But in iron products we have only the protected American market, which is the largest and licst in the world. . The nominees of the rebublicau aud democratic parties are all well known in I'olk county. They are the best men of each party and the two tickets each have elements of strength which make it dillicult to make any comparison. Owing to the crowded condition of our columns we Khali not make individ ual mention of the several candi dates, preferring to do so later. New York and New Jersey piled up another big repulican majority last Tuesday in municipal elections in Albany and Lockport, New- York, and Jersey City, New Jersey and other places. People who have occasion to travel over the roads in Oregon just now should be selected as del egatcs to tne roau convention in Salem next week. What do you think of the three tickets in Tolk County; that of the populists, the democratic and re publicanT There are two strong tickets in the field this year in Polk, that of the republican and democratic par ties.

Editor Wmt Hi dkj- In the taut hmue of Use Katitriirtiv, x-liublloatr arti cle Him ws what the average Pouullst want to know, The uuU that lie ask d the German profwaor to cruuk, have already been cracked as often aa ex- Itepubllcan ha aked foreigner of his political views, yet ho don't under stand them' No doubt ex-lleimblloau think they are brand new, never been cracked bt'fow, No doubt b thinks he ha the pronwsor cornered and all that he lacks now Is to brleir over the little popgun aud the big broud ax and expouud the populist doctrine to the profesMur, so that ho might see aud be lieve snd be numbered with the fifty dollar per capita baud or Coxeys army. Now to the text ex-Republican; I will crack the nuts one by otie, to that you can understand them thoroughly. Ex-Republleau admits In his article that as nation our growth and pros perity has Indeed been marvelous. Kx Itepubllcan admits that It has been due to our protective system; then ' In conclusion ex-ltepubllcan say, "I want to know If we are out a lot of . ohuiupa to pay tar I II prices for our com modttles." This show plainly that ex- Republlcan Is a Populkt, for he agrees and he disagrees In the same article. We wilt see If Ihe'VliuiuptAwc benefit ed by a protective tariff or not; It is not necessary to mention all the ad vantages of a protective tarlfl to those chumps, therefore, I will be as brlif as possible. .'.- pow wiuioui a protective tariff we would have free trade. We III com pare the two together to clearly Illus trate the marked dlllwrenue, 1st w ecu these two systems In their application to the laboring aud middle elasies of Kugland and the UuiU-d Stales, aud especially how they elt'ect the earnings ol f'ese eople. Let us examine the KuglUh custom reports for the year 18KS. Whole amouut collected from custom $97,807,30; amount collected from tobacco $-t3,6(il,713; tea, f ),tKM, 600; ilrled tYult, 2,74J,3S0; eolt'ee t'Jo7,- H10; cocoa, $414,717; chicory, 1354,000; Willi's, $4,428,2:10. Now none of these articles are rained or produced In Kng laud, but with the exception of wines they are all iicocwdile of life, and the tolling millions of England uumt and will have them, and by these cople are consumed the greater part of the articles enumerated above. Iu other words, under a free trade tarllf tluwc few article of ueeewtlty, consumed mostly by the laboring classes of Kugland, pay $70,514,4(12 out of $U7, 07,:iHO, more than four-llfths of all the custom, duties. The American laborer pays no duty at all on tea, eolt'ee, cocoa, chlckory, aud dried fruits, and none ou tobacco aud wluea produced ' at home, Iu other words a protective tariff save our worklug-i.en the greater (art of $70,1)00,000 lu customs dutiea in the United States. Under fifteen years of the free trade tariff of 1M0 to. lsol our Imports exceeded our Import by $132,3.1,72l, and that amount of gold had to go abroad to pay that balance iu fifteen years of protection from 1H70 to lfftH), Our exjwrt exceeded our Im ports by $1,000,444,210 ami that amount of specie was sent to this country to pay us that Immense balntice during tl.e whole period from 17U0 to JHOI. Seventy-one years we exported H0.809, 000 bushel of wheat, but lu 1883, after twenty-two year of protection, we exported 150,000,000 lu a single year, In 1801, after fifteen years of tariff for revenue government, we had to bur row money for current expenses at 10 and 11 percent.. In 1801, aftci thirty years of protection, thegovernmeutcau borrow all It wants at 2 per cent. If ex-ltepubllcan will carefully wan the prices current of England and the United State for those articles used lu resjiectablu famllle, he will be sur prised, but gratified to learn that oue dollar will buy more tea, coffee, coal oil, flour, meal, butter, sugar, potatoes aud soap In the United States than It will in England, aud as much sheet Ing, shirting, calloo, boots and shoe here as there. A puir of boot hero worth $.5 can be paid for with half the labor that It would take to pay for the same boots In England. Boots arc the same price here a there, but It fakes them two days to pay for an article that It takes us oue day. It I a well knowivfact that a largo proportion of the flour, beef, pork, bacon, eheeae,etc, used In England Is Imported from the United Slatts. Is It possible that Englishmen can come over here and buy these things, pay freight and other expenses of transportation to England, and then sell them , at home, at the same price? To ask such question, is to answer It.. Ex Republican I will crack some more nutaforyou lu the future, if you 'di gest tills one without any trouble. When you get to Washington, pleuse remember the German professor, and send his share of the wealtfi of the United States, forthwith, for I fear you will change your mind before you get the wealth divided.
