MART. V. BROWN, EDITOR.
FRIDAY DECEMBER 17, 1SS0
In yesterday's edition oi the Oreyoni
an there appeared a letter of Vfm. I".
Prosser, ia answer to the letters of
John A. Crawford and Jason Wheeler,
in regard to the road over the Ciiscades
between this city and Prineville. lie
denies stating to Mr. Crawford that the
roal was better than he (Ciawfortl)
had represented, but we learn that if
need be Mr. Crawford's statement can
bo verified by witnesses. He also
charges that Mr. Crawford's and Mr,
Wheeler's letters are tissues of unmiti
gated fabrication?, aed intimates that
they were written by other parties.
That very point dhows' conclusively
that Mr. Prosser ia not the author of
the letter to which his name is signed,
as he has only met Mr. Crawford a
very few times, and h;s acquaintance
with Mr. Wheeler onv reached over
the period of his trip over tie road in
question, consequently he is not ac
quainted with tbe:n to be suHicient to
judge of their literary attainments. The
facts of the case are that the Piossur
letter was written in Portland by par
ties who are doing everything in theit-
power against the piopased Oregon Pa
ci5c Railroad.
This letter also s'atcs that on ac
count of tho lack of bridges on the San
ttam, Soda, Elk and Snow Ci celts, trav
el could not begin on the road dui ing
the past season until J uly iSth. Any
one who has ever been over the road
will at ooce notice the absurdity of this
statement. Elk and Saow creeks aie
so small that a man can aoa them at
two steps ; over one there is a bridge
now, and the other is so shallow t'.iat a
horse's knee would not be dampened
by crossing it. 1 he f-icls of the case
are that a working force followed up
the saow line in the spring, and' as soon
as the fallen timber was removed, travel
commenced ; the sliwus mentioned
had nothing to to do with ii. The open
ing np of the road depends cntiiely up
on the season. The w titer of this arti
cle, together with D. T. W. Harris
and Dr. E. O. Smith, took the first
wagon acroaa the mountains in 1877,
crossing this road daring the last week
in April, and several other parlies
who started at the tame time on
the McKenzie road did cot get over
until two weeks afterwards. Even
then they ha 1 to double their teams,
while our party west through with only
two horses. We traveled two hundred
miles on this load, and we feel safe in
saying that theie ii no road even on
this side of the mountains of Lalf that
length that will compare favorably with
it. Mr. Pressor's ( !) statements in re
gard to the veracity of two of our best
citizens, and egainit the Cascade Wagon
Road, are perfectly prejxisterou when
lead in this community, but way be
the bottom of tLe. whole matter. This
letter was no doubt written at Portland
for the purpose of throwing a cloud
upon the title to iheae lands, with the
object ia view ef preventing Eastern
capitalists from investing in the Oregon
Pacific Railroad, to which company
these lands have been bonded.

The undersigned having bent re
quested from various sources to explain
what they understood about "A tariff
for revenue only," submit the following:
First A tat iff for revenao does not
mean fi re trade ; for .under tho present
system of deriving duties on imports,
largo amount of the revenue necessary
to defray the expenditures of the na
tional government ; a tariff for revenue
necessarily means a comparatively an
absolutely high tariff, and one that in
all conscience ought to satisfy ay rer
tonab'e demand for protection.
Second A tariff for roveuue does
not mean a further continuance of high
taxation imposed originally and solely
to meet the exigencies of a great war
in time of peace, whea all ncceKhity for
such taxation has passed away.
Third It does not mean the fui ther
continuance of a mixed system of du
ties ; ro much sjieciGcally per pound.
per gallon or bushel, and then in add
tioo so much ad valorem.
No ordinary person of.eu cxpeits
can readily tell what such duties
amount to in the aggregate. They
were intentionally made complicated to
prevent knowledge. They afford con
scant temptation on the part of iiu
porters to deceive and of oUtcials to
abuse their trust.
Such duties, furthermore, act as pro-
lubttora of imports, and so dry up com
ruerce, increase enormously the cost of
commodities to tho people, and to pre
vent tho treasury from obtaining ree
In support of these statements, take
the following illustrations and proofs
In 1879-SO wo imported ?30,9SO,000
worth of woolen- goods j in this van
amount on-y $5,000 in value represent
imports of blankets, and the coIe of
the United States use annually blankets
to tho value of $120,000,000.
Xow tho rer.son why only $5,000
worth of blankets were imported in
1879-80 is that on tho commonest
cheapest class of blankets, such as th
poor man can only buy and must have,
that the miner, the traveler, the em
ployes of our railroads, conalt, forges
and furnaces generally buy and use,
such blankets as cost thirty cents pc
pound in Euroje, the duty u twenty
cents, and thirty-Gvd er cent, ad valo
rem. Now, how many persons know
how much theso mixed duties amount
tot They amount to one bundled per
cent
How many j-4'isous, hen the facta
are explained, wouM cni'nti.nce tmch

How many members of Congress
would ever be returned by their con
stitpents if they voted yea on a plain
andimple proposition to tax an essen
tial atticle of consumption of our jnjor
laborers to such a degree 1
In 1S79-S0 the duties on blankets
were so heavy that almost none were
imported, the treasury deming fron
onr impoits the pitiiu! sum of ?1,?33,
bile the people were no doubt unnec-
miari! v taxed over and above wK
outr-iet mms comu rcsjmre ,ior projec
tion several million of dollars.
A tariff for revenue only as will be
seen by the classification herenfter aub
mitted of forty jkt cent, would give
some revenue from this source to the
treasury and protect the manufacturer,
Again, worsted yarns, which cost ia
England thirty-one cents, are charged
with a duty cf twenty cents per pound
and thirty-five er cent, ad valorem,
exual to over 99 per cent. The conse
quence was that we imported and con
sumed exactly $11 worth in value and
the treasury received just forty-eight
dollars revenue. ;
Certainly r.o one will dispute this
demonstration than if the above propo
sition were subject to a duty of forty
per cent ad valorem the treaeury would
receive more and therefore diminish the
necessity for taxing other things ia or
der to secure revenue.
A tariff for revenue, and taking a
load of taxation off the shoulders of the
masses of the people. "'
Fourth A tariff 'for revenue only
means simplification of our tax laws,
and more receipts in the national treas
ury.
It will be the lifting of a load of not
less than several hundred million of
direct and indirect taxes from the peo
ple and at the same time insuring a
continuance of pmtection of domestic
manufacturer?, a degree of protection
greater than was ever granted under
any tariff enacted from the foundation
of the government up to 1881.
The undersigned, in order to make
their ' meaning clear in detail, have
drawn and here submit what in the
present situation of the country, they
understand by a tariff revenue only,
based on the iinportatiotis of 1879.
Such a tariff will insure ample revenues
for .the country and give every reason
able protection to domestio manufac
turers. -
yji course me auove tann can in
many instances be made specific wher
ever it is made practical, but it should
be done upon the projwsed baxin, and
also give alcohol, fiee of charge, to our
manufacturing chemist. '
. The main object is to eliminate from
the tariff those unwarrantable duties
that- prohibit importation', strangle
commerce, increase the cost of living
and production in the -United States,
and. all. for the benefit of a comparative
ly few individuals.

eu umavorably in regard to patenting

p in this style :
To the Editor of the Oreyonlm :
In tho papct of the 8th you public
a telegi-apbio diapatch from Washing
ton, headed "An Oregon Fraud," and
on tho 9th inst. a leading article begin
ning "Disooveied at Last" Both art
based upon a report Baid to have been
rendered to tho general land office by
special agent named Trosser. In your
loading artielo you use the expression
A traua wuich has Jong been notori
ous in Oregon." When anyone, wheth
er a "special agent of tho land office" or
not, says one thiug and writes the oj
posite, the public should know it, espe
cially when he is made the organ of
charges of gigantic and notorious dis
honesty.
Mr. Prosser was introduced to me at
Albany about the 21st of September,
and told me that Le was a government
officer deputed to go over and examine
the road, from complaint that had
been made at tho land offico (hat there
was no road and that it was a fraud on
the government. I asked for and he
then bhowed me hi instt taction, wliio
included a letter from a Mr. Barnes,
making these statements. Ho proposed
to buy or hire an Indian ony, under
the belief that there was no road. He
was amazed to find that a two-horse
carriage could go over the road. I in
trod u cod him to Mr. Jason Wheeler, of
Albany, and arranged for him to have
two-horan carriage, and they started.
Befoie they started Mr. Pros3cr had
a conversation in my presence with Dr.
W. F. Alexander, ho told him that
ho had we'ghed on a Fairbanks scale
six wiion lcails goii'g oerthe moun
tains, and that with a s'.n! team they
took IS00 and 2 500 pniuuN.and double
teams fioai 2500 to 2500 ji ndn, with
out am (nub!?. Healja i-.v Mr. W,
K. Pius, who to! J him i b it hi team
waa a tuiull one, but he took 1800
pounua ovtr ilia urrjimluius with ease.
They returned u the evening of the
19th of .October, an I I taw Mr. Prosser
at bis hotel. He to! I ;ne that he Was
very rgrcraMy diwr-jioiuicd, for the
road was evca U-tlcr than Lad been
represented bv an.- t-j 1 iui, and that the
man that put i i t!ie t 'yoit to tie land
oCc? put it -in with aom clciign, and
that it was a lie fiom the wuid c. He
said that the ro.id was the beat moun
tain road he had traveled in thUorany
other country, and that it must l ave
cost aa fmmente amount of money and
iator to make m-cb a ro:a through so
rough a country. Ho s-ttd tt would be
Uitter for one or two more bridges.
told h'tu that they had len put there
originally, but that the mountain fire
had burned tl.etu out and topi-d the
travel, and that it had bccv.f.'iind bet
ter to cradw down to forda ic''l !
clear the strcau for passage. He also
remarked that between Ochoco and
Camp Harney that is from 150 miles
to 29.1 miles from Albany where the
ater in place- had washed the dirt
from among tho rocks it had b ft it a
little lough fur wagons, and tl-at it
necued some rept-ii. I letnarkcd that
I did not think the company was
obliged to keep it in repair beyond the
part where they look toll. But that I
knew that all the compay Lad re
ceived for tolls and uioio had always
been expended on the road. He told
me that he had seen and talked with
many oftbe settle -a along tho road,
that they were all well pleased with
the rood, and that he considered it the
giealest enterpriae he had seen in all
this westei n country to open up that
eastern country to this Willamette val
lev.
ticept as uuove stated Jir. i'rosser
I. . i .
made no -complaint alout the road, but
on tho contrary expressed hi: admira
tion and satisfaction with it.
I tiave!cd the road myself first in
1871 with a party which went from
Albany out to Camp Harney, 93
mi'es. Tho road was then in good fix
and in a condition at which wo were all
surprised. Wc had a four horse team
and a two hcrso carriage. We went
from 20 to SO miles a day and had no
difficulty whatever. Wo found a good
road all I he way, bridge? wherever nec
essary, and no difficulty in crossing any
stream that were not bridged, in fact
in the eastern section bridges wero not
neeesKary or desirable, for the streams
are small ana sballow and even if
bridges were thero a traveler would
would lake the ford in pr-frence, that
he might water his stock.
I am not one of the original stock
holders in the company, although a ret-
ident of Albanv who caroo there in
1852. 1 was one of the parties who
purchased in 1871. The original com
pany filed articles cf incorporation on
May 20, 18G4, and had done a large
amount ofc work before the act of Con
gress granting the lands was pawed in
18G6. The object of the company was
to open up communication between the
Willamette valley and the country east
of the Cascades. Since 1871 upwards
of $27,000 has been expended by the
present owners in repairs and mainten
ance of the road from Albany to the
DesChutes river, being the portion of
the road over which tolls are taken.
Since 187 J tho company has paid taxes
to a considerable amount.
I should mention that this Mr. Barnes
hose statement to the land office was
shown me by Mr. Prosser as the cause
of his being sent out, i one of a large
nutnbar of aquattm-n oti '.he road com
pany's land. An action of ejectment is
now pending agaiuHt Mm in the United
States Circuit Court. I cannot but
think that tie telegram to the Onyoiti
an from Washington waa haaed on the
statements of Mr. Barnes rather than
on Mr. Prosser'a report, for he, when
he saw me in Albny,clmrcterii!ed Mr.
Baroes' statement ns a lie.
In conclusion I havo to nay that how
far the Ortymiinit't charges tf f -aud is
justly made against other militaiy
wagon road grant, I have no means of
knowing. But so far as the Willamette
Valley and Cascade Mountain Wegon
Itoad ia concerned, my own knowledge
of the facts enables me to deny the
charge ia the strongest tonux.

country. Little Is known in advance
concerning tho mcssngc, but it Is not
likely to bo a very startling or Im
portant document. None of Mr.
Hayes' messages bavo icon especially
marked, as slate papers,and the most
conspicuous thing about them, usual
ly, Is tho algnaluro of a man whom
God Almighty never Intended should
subscribe himself President f the
United Hlates. If Jngersoll, "Royal
Bob" as Garfield calls him, were
ca'lcd upon to explain (he circum
stance bo would doubtless classify It
as one of the "Mistakes of Moses";
or Joo Bradley. But tbo things
which so constantly remind us of this
disgraceful p!odo In our national
history will sooa havo passed away
and whatever may be thought tf, or
como from, tho next occupant of tho
Whlto House it will bo worth some
thing to him and to hi Administra
tion to have It Mid (hat ho was elect
ed. The hhort nation of Congress Is
generally an active one. The limit
of Hi duration is known nnd there Is
Dot no much time for taking things
oasy. Among (he members wllh
whom I have talked tho impression
prevails that very Utile miscellaneous
legllatlon will be accomplished dur
ing tho present session. The appro
priation bills and Mich other routine
business as may bo necessary vill at
best occupy a large tdiare of the time,
which, deducting the usual holiday
recess, will be but about seventy
working days. Tho calendars of the
two houses already embrace a very
largo number of measures of more or
less Important e a great many more
than can oMsibly bo disposed of, even
If no other business was to be brought
forward. There are pending In Com
mltleeof the Whole, la tbo House,
over two hundred bills, all involving
to a gnater or less -degreo the ex
penditure of money or (ho donation
of public prejsrly. Grouping them
Into classes they may lo partially de
scribed is : b"'ls to provide for the
Pty:nent of tho public debt and to
farlHatc (ho refunding thereof ; bills
afiecllng tho revenao ; bills affecting
the coinage ; bills relallog to (lie poa
t.:! service ; bills relatlDg (o tbo pub
lh prlnilng; bills relating to tho Dis
trict cf Columbia, and miscellaneous

are ao hand td and fifty other bills,

nese immigration, one in relation to
national banks, one providing for the
tranf-.r of tbo Indian Bursau to the
WTr.r Department, and ono for tho re
lief of riiz'Jehn Torler. All of
mciilan, mustcauso much dUeuslon
when taken up for action.
The extra s.slon talk bus in a
measure subfided. Thoso Uepubll-
cans who oro especially anxious (o
get possession of the llouso offices
hope to see mat'ers so shaped that an
extra session can bo secured, but the
more sagacious i nd respectable mem
bers of tho party do not favor if, un
less there should prove to bo a genu
Ine reason for it. The Senate will of
course bo convened . after March 4th
for action epos General Garfield's
Cabinet appointments, and there Is a
possibility that complications in con
nection with our Chinese relations
may also demand attention at the
hands ef that body. But with the
Senate in the bands of tho Democrats
is it Is almost certain, to be, a special
session for political ends would b
worso than useless. Tbo stalwart
wing of the Republicans declare a
purpeso to prevent tho new appor
tionment for members of Congress
being made this winter, with a view
of redoclng the representation of cer
tain .Southern States after they get
control of Congress. But If their
party dots not Imvo n majority In the
Senate the scheroo would fail, and
the attempt would ot do Its prr-ject-tors
any good.
Speaking just now of Garfield's
Cabinet reminds me of Deacon Rich
ard Smith's report that ho found a
general feeling In Washington In fa
vor of making General .Graot Secre
tary of State. ' That is about the best
joke of the season. 1 have knocked
around Washington among that sort
of people who talk about these things
a good deal,and to my cemln knowl
edge the bare mention of tho thing
causes a smile. Was there ever any.
thing to equal the insano toadyism
displayed by an element in the Re
publican party towards U. 8. Grant ?
Conkling la credited with a purpose
to make him Senator from New
York, and the Camerona of Pennsyl
vania are said to have a sly notion in
the same direction. Somebody sug
gests that if Conkling -insists upon
making Grant pt-e his colleague, Don
Cameron can take to himself Fred,
the sen. Then while all this talk is
going on we bear that a lot of old
toadies who havo more money than
sense are raising $250, 000 for the
Great American Deadhead to live on
the rest of his life. A 6tory r comes
from the east that Grant was forced,
much against his will, to pay $1 rail
road faro the other day. Ho had a
pass which was exhibited, but it. did
not cover tho extra drawing-room
car charge, and tho conductor de
manded $1, Butl am General
Grant!" said tho Great American D.
II, "Can't help it," said tho con
ductor, "your pass Isn't good for this
car." And the $1 had to bo paid.
What a shame ! Conkling and Don
Cameron ought to see that the
amount Is refunded.
