Newspaper Page Text4 clfiMflfMl Tilt TIM TLATK DU1T, Tnere U no mote unjustifiable Us upon American Industry than the tin pints duty, It I a bare-faced swindle, without the semblance of decent protest. Though on! one of the numerous methods of drawing the life blood from our languish ing agriculture to nourUh Insolent monop olj.ll li maintained with an Impudence and greed from which all tne of ahame long since disappeared. The tip plate plunderer feel that their opportunity haa arrived for another turn of the screw upon their victim. They d!d hat they could for the support of the monopoly system, as a whole, by the wan amakcrlng of the presidential and con gressional elections, resulting In Harrison and this congress, wlthboodlers on top all around, and they demand their full shaie of the spoils. We prefer to give their lur. 'her Intentions In the authorise J versions, f urnUhed by the Philadelphia Imuinr, a very wideawake republican organ, which on Important occasions gets Its new at Grtt hand from Mr. Boas Quay, the gen tleman who cuts the pie and distributes the pieces. Here is the ayei'rsr'i special, giving us very pUi.il to undeistand what the tin plate cormorants propose to do with vs: The arguments advanced by Mr. W. C. Cronemeer, ! the American Tin Plate association, before the ways and means committee is llkeh to bear fruit when the revenue bill la framed. Mr. Cronemeyer, who is from Pltsburg, put plate business In a very strong light, showing how hundreds of dollars are annually paid for the impor tation ot this article, which cannot be manufactured at profit In thla coitntry under the present duty of one cent per pound. He alo s'.owed that capital was waiting to be Invested and labor to be em ployed In the Industry as soon as It was sufiiclentlr protected, and argued for an Increase ki the duty to cent per pound. It Is now understood from good authoritv that the new revenue bill will contain the increase. The Increased tarifl on tin plate will effect another Industry which Is ot conslJersble Importance, es pecially In the north, and that Is the can ning trade. To offset the Ir.creaseH price of tin cans It is proposed to abolish almost entirely the duty on augar, which Is an Item of great Importance to the business mentioned. One objection to this cornea from the beet and sorghum growing state of the southwest. To equalize matters and prevent any kns In these Industries, the committee propose a bounty for the raising of these croo. This Is the outline ot what the new bill will contain In order to encourage the tin plate Industry. This scheme ot plain, strong-handed robbery Is a fair specimen ot the big schemes and of the little schemes, which go to make up any scheme ot taxes which Is Intended to benefit private enterprises and not to raise public revenues. Its ab surdity does not strike It beneficarle vr their political sponsor and abettors, simp. ly because they have never been accus tonej to look upon government other wise than as an agency for their personal -aggrandizement, and feel for the prosper Itr of their country only In their pockets. What a beautiful plan of restriction upon packers, of taxes upon consumers, of boun ties to sugar raisers, all winding up In rich subsidies to the tin plate barons! It is the very neatest method imaginable of absord ing other people's property by the beautiful device of a government monopoly, giving the earnings of many to a few. The Baker City RtvtiUt of Jaa a8ih give what Hank Vaughua says of the stock outlook along the Columbia River. He had just ar rived from his Yakima stock ranch and report a deplorable state of affairs consequent upon the sorer e weather in that locality. Snipes, the Yakima cattle king, hid already lost 2000 krufl of cattle at one corral and others were ij'nZ at the rate of a hundred per day. Hank was considerable loser himself, Out of 47 lead of fine mare there were only it left wlikh number he had abandoned to their fate. The tules npoa which the cattle nsoa'.ly sub sist during these extreme occasions, are cover ed with snow and all outside stock must sure ly perish, Mr Lester, ot Virginia, introduced In congret a bill declaring unlawful a com bination of any number of persons or a mount of capi'al In any respect whatever for the purpose of governing the price In the purchase and sale of stock cattle, beef cattle on foot, or dressed beef. It also de. clares to be unlawful the offering for sale of dressed beef which has been slaughtered more than thirty-six hours and shipped more than 500 miles. It impose a penal ty for a violation of the provisions of the MIL The milk mpdIt of New York city affords an income to Om farmers furnishing it of Iio, 000,000 at t cents per quart. Over 200, 000 cows are milked to obtain this supply, and $60,000,000 of capital is invested, exclusive of the railroads and of dealers. Milk is drawn from five Slates, and some of it is hauled 300 miles by the railroads. After a most exhaustive and very fair investi gation into the contest over the governorship of West Virginia, it ha been, decked that Flemingthe democrat was duly elected,- and was therefore inaugurated the th fast to the great satisfactory of all weH meaning people in that state. The republican lieutenant governor of Mon tana, like his prototype, Reed, speaker of the house, decides that mencbers of the state senate are pre ent whether voting or noK It is said the democratic senators will leave the state before they wilt submit to his arbitrary and hih handed rulings. It is comforting to read sometimes that even the best men of the past, and uch a are now held in the highest esteem, had special and often great Infirmities. It is a blessing, too, that biographers have been honest enough to record them. When you boil cabbage tie a bit of dry bread in a bag and put it in the kettle. French cooks say that all the unpleasant odor, which makes a house smell like an old drain will be abs-wded by the bread. Thirteen Millions of dollars go over the borders of Minnesota annually to Boston, Halt ford. New Yarlc, etc,, to pay skinflint mortg nges. Eight millions more go over border on bogus railroad securities. It will be observed that first class, gilt edge hrttter, put up for patrons in cities and towns, brings really good prices. It pays to make and sell the best of anything.

There are now 326 convicts i:i tl.e Oregon SU'e rrnitentiary ard more coming almost )YEVl.TU AMUT3 eONSEqVENCEi,. When the government established by our forefather became a recognised fact, both at home and abroad, and tor three quarter ot a century thereafter, no one dreamed that the greatest danger which threatened li existence was the wealth which might accumulate within Its realm; Indeed no one ever di earned ot the possi bilities which lie In that direction. It Is only during the past twenty year that the accumulation of wealth has entered Into the problem, Down to trie period ot the conflict ot 1S61 to (j the only disturbing element ot our government was slavery. It was the slavey prob'em which weighed so heavily Upon the "God like" Webster. It was an ever present ghastly and hideous form, appealing to hi patri otic soul. It Is not Improbable that It cast a shadow cf melancholly over hi whole life. But, Mr Webster did not live to wit ness the dreadful loss ot life and treasure, and the dreadful gloom ot Its going out. There I a question now of tar greater magnitude than that whlc.i was settled by the war ot rebellion, and that Is the ques tion of the enormous wtalth and Its In crease In the hands ot the few. We make no reference now to the thousands, or the hundreds of thousands In the hands of the industrious and prosperous people scattered all over the land, tor weaUh universally diffused Is the prime safeguard of a nation, but we refer to the millions, the tens of millions and the hundreds ot millions owned and controlled by the few. The Ignorant poor, and the no less Ig norant rich may ridicule, or sneer at tha expression ot fear that harm may coma to the republic on account ot great wealth, bnt ridicule never settled any question. Ridicule Is always the weapon of the Ig norant and vicious. Noue but the Ignor ant will ridicule the subject, tor the history otthe world reveals the destruction of na tions on acconnt of wealth and luxury, never from poverty. A matter now stand, bad as they are, it might perhaps be endurable; dut wealth accumulates, and the man with ten millions to day, mar have a hundred millions In ten years, and. the man with a hundred million may have a thousand millions. What If a man docs have trillions, I It any of the people's business? is the query of the Ignorant. This is the question that I to be solved. This I In fact the supreme question. The wealth ot the Rothsehild was for a long time the wonder ot the world. They held the purse spring of nearly all Europe Kings, Emperor and principalities were, and are ret at their merer, but the wealth of the' Rothschilds, the accumulation o' generations pale Into Insignificance before the wealth ot the Vanderbllts.the Gould's, the Astor'a, the Leland's, the Carnegl'sand the Spreckle when the time of acquis! tion is taken Into account. Ilistory falls to record any accumulation of wtalfi so rapid and so colossal a that which , ha been accumulated in this country and during a space of from five to twenty-five years. The wealth of the Rothschild's ha been the marvel of (fenerations until within the past decade, but their wealth cease to dazzle and bcaildcr the youth of America In this generation. Their wealth however has been the accumulation of a hundred and twenty-five years with all Europe for their Geld of operation. Their accumu lations do not represent the robbery of the masses. They never levied a tax upon or demanded a toll upon the necessaries' of life. It it a curious fact that the Sarooan Treaty framed by the two leading Protectionist na tions of the world. Chin excepted, should provide almost unlimited free trade for this poor people, Heavy duties are laid 00 in oxiciting liquors, tobacco, firearms an 1 gun- t powder, bat general merchandise is subjected only to a 3 per cent revenue tariff. If Com missioners Phelps and K assort bad been true to their party they would have insisted upon free lienor and tobacco and a 47 per cent, tarifl on other merchandise for the Samoa ns, on the high moral kround that the tariff would tend to cheapen general merchandise and no tariff to enhance the price of whisky and cigar. Bnt in truth, of course, Germany and the United States wanted as free a chance to trade with Samoa as possible, and, (Engtand being naturally agreeable.the latter' economic policy triumphed. James G Blaine, jr., who ha been appoint ed clerk of the Cotnmittceoa Foreign Affairs of the House of Represents ives,has been edu cated for the position by a few inglorious weeks as a newspaper reporter, by close attention to tbe billiard cue awl by a few month of service as a locomotive fireman. He is well fitted, therefore,. '. wear a dres suit in the evening and draw a salary of $2, 190 a year, Tbe state assessor of New York thinks that within a few years there will be none but tenant farmers in tbe state. Mortgages have in creased everywhere, while farm values have beea depreciating. It is not wholly the com petition of western farmers which has made eastern agricultuie profitable, or western farm ers have not much less of apt. ill in their pir acy through a hardworking life. The New England Farmer saj that in Reading. Vt., there are 1000 acre of aban doned farming lands to be booght for from f I to I4 per acre. A 200 acre farm in Windham county can be bought, buildings sugar orchard and plenty of tirube-, for less than $4 per acre. The new Chinese Minister at Washington is gradually becoming more sociaUe. He was very distant and unapproachable at first, but be has thawed somen bat. He will never be as popular as his predecessor, however. Speaker Reed playing autocrat may be a "smart" spectacle to Republicans whose vision is limited by the tengtk of their nose. To those with memories and foresight it has a very different aspect. Navajo Indians in San Juan county. N M.. are besoming settlers on account of the recent killing of an Indian. About 500 warrior are off the reservation and the settler are greatly alarm :d. At the present prices in Iowa It now takes from the farmer sixty-six buaSel of corn weighing 3,620 pound to pay the In terest at the bank on one hundred; dollars a year. Whole cloves are now ued h Extermi nate the mercile and Indnstriaut moth. It is said they are more effectual as a de stroying agent than either tobacco, cam phor or cedar sha sings.

Eastern dispatches gtvs the following account of the burning ot the house of Secretary ot the navy, Mr. Tracy and the burning to death ot hi wife and daughter! Tha residence of Secretary Tree v, of the ntvy, was destroyed by Are Monday morn ing. Mr. Tracy. MUs Mary Tracy and a maid were burned to death. It was about seven o'clock in the morning when the flame were seen Issuing from the rest dence. The fire gained headway rapidly, and although the lire department respond ed promptly the residence was soon en veloped In flame. Mr. and Mrs, Tracy occupied the back room in the second story. Mrs, Tracy, It Is thouuht, was first a wakened by the suffocating smoke. Mr, Tracy was at this time unconscious, and Mr. Tracy attempted to drag the body of her husband to a window. This she was partially successful In doing. Halt ilaaed and blinded by smoke, she opened the win dow just as the firemen were putting up a ladder to rescue her, and leaped to the sidewalk. Her body was picked up with severe Internal injuries and a broken leg, She was then taken to a nulghborlng house and without her recovering con sciousness died within an how. Secretary Tracy was res:uid by the firemen. He was at first thought to be dead, but It was discovered that a spark of life still re mained, tin was removed to the residence of Mr, Bancroft Davis near by. MUs Tracy, the secretary' unmarried daugh ter, occupied a thlrj-story front room and met a fate which was terrible to behold. The young lady could be tee at tho win dow, her hands In an attitude ot prsver and her face uplifted to heaven. The Barnes gradually surroundtd her and she sank to the floor to be recognised later by her charrjd remains. A French maid named Josephine met a similar fate in an adjoining room, where her blackened re main were found. Secretary Tracy at last report was resting easy. The cause of the Are Is unknown. Many claim it was a case ot Incendiarism while other held that the fire was due to defective heating apparatus. An Investi gation will be made. n 1 J BRITISH KttrKTKAP The most common reply, or replies made by the republican to fact sod argument of the democrat in favor of tariff reduction arc sneers and taunts of "British free trade; and pauper labor of Europe." England is not a free tra J j nation except in the sense that she adopts the very wises: course possible to extend her ttade through the world. She admits raw malct il which her manufacturer require free of duty, hut h haa collect c J upon imports in the his forty year an annual average of 1103,000,386 and she doe not collect a mill upon imported article of necessary daily consumption by l' poor. "Tbe government of Great Brltian has unl formty exerted it piwer to extend her trade and to enable her people to dominate the com merce of tbe world," said an able champion o. reuenue reform in congress. While the re publican tariff cf our country taxes sugar 90 per cent, salt 85 per cent, rice 1 20 per cent, blankets 2-jo per cent., and many other neces saries of life in proportion, England gives all these th'ng free to her people. England aims to lax the rich from their abundance and not the poor to carry on the government. She collects an internal revenue from the incomes of tbe rich and the luxuries they consume, The Americans ham learned much froat the En glish and there is much more they would do well to inilat . England is not a free trade nation. Germany has a high protective tariff, but German workmen are only paid a little more than oe.e hall as much a English work men. Aa ExMllrat Hestedy.

Portland, Or., Feb. 7,The most fright ful accident, in so far at loss of life is concern ed, known in the history of the O U & N branch of the Union pHcific,occurred at bridge No 68, over Williams creek, cne and a half miles wsit of Cascade Locks and two and a half mites f.om Bonneville, at about 6.4$ on Sunday morning last. - The train wrecked cons&ed of an engine and a caboose, with a crew of men, about thirty five In all who were orf their wsy to clear a slide that wat delaying trains. Just ai the engine had about cleared the trestle, which wst some ft fly feet in length, the underpinning supporting the second and third went underneath, and the tentlor, with the caboose and its losd of human freight, pitched hevllong into the ravine, forty feet below. Nothing but the presence of mind of Engineer George prevented the engine, too, from going down. When he felt that some thing wat wrosg, looked bsck and saw the caboose swaying, he pulled the throttle wide open and just succeeded in reaching terra firma, with hit two back driving wheels hang ing elear of the track, as the mast wi nt crash ing to the bottom of the ravine. lirakeman lkn l.nierick, who miraculously escaped, started for the locks fur help, and re turned with an engine, a caliouse and what as sistance he could tet.
