USRED AND SELFISHNESS.
There are no flowery lxd ol ease along
the line cf tariff readjustment. This I
easily accounted far. The whole scheme
el protection, for protection sake, pure!
Iftsh, end selfish only. Ery rnsn who
favor and spends Me time and mean to
promote thtt scheme doe from a elf
ish motive or, oa the contrary, because he
I Ignorant of the effect which It has upon
he great mass of the people. It Is this
elfishne that makes It so difficult to ad
just tariff schedules, cither by raUIng or
lowering the duties upon a given article.
To Increase the duty on raw materials
brings out the must earnest protest from
those who manufacture that raw material
Into finished pioducts, because It Increases
the price which these manufacturers have
to pay for this raw material and thus nr
rows the margin they have tor profit.
They do not protest that this Increase In
the duty would actually be an Increased
tax upon the great mass of the people,
though this Is the only legitimate objection
which they might use. Out they are self
sh and seek only their ow n sefUh Interests
without regard to the Interests of the great
bod rot the people. Vo low er the duty upon
raw material produces a smile, childlike
and bland, upon the then benign counter
a nee of the manufacturer, but at the same
time It calls forth a loud and lo.ig-contlii-
ued howl from the producer of this raw
material. And wny this antipodean effect
upon these two classes, dimply because
boih regard their business from a purely
selfish standpoint. The producer protests
that (he reduction In duties will so reduce
the price which he wilt receive for his
prolucts as to leave him but little or no
margin for profit, while the manufacturer
feels that hie margin for profit has been
enlarged; hence he Is pleased. Thus It Is In
reference to every one of the 400 articles
ontne dutiable list. When the McKln
ley committee put sugar upon the free
list they are met by the piotests, almost
amounting to curses, frcm the beet raisers
of CalifomU,and sorghum planters of Ktrw
sas. Then the committee. In order
to placate these malcontents, makes only
a partial cut on sugar, and from the people
of tne Northwest, republicans and pro
tectionists, be it understood.comes a storm
of protests that creates a hideous din In the
ears of McKlnley, and shakes the whole
system of proposed tariff legislation. And
all this, tjr the simple reason, as we have
before said, that the whote scheme ef pro-
tlectlon, for the sake of protection Is pure
ly scfish, unmanly, unjust, and at a total
variance with Uiose immortal principle of
free government so Idiomatically formu
lated, as wetl aa carlv and forcibly ei
pressed by President Jefferson In his mem
ortble message to congress In which he
ssld: "fcqual and exact justice to all men
of whatever state or persuasion, religious
or political." If the protective tariff were
eadjutei as to afford "equal and exact
ustlce to all citizens' alike, then that ays
em would soon be done away with, for,
when the wool growers, manufacturers of
woolen, cotton, jute, and other goods were
compelled U pay back as much taxes to
the people as they now exact from them
under the protective system, they would
have no further Interest In mslntalnlng a
system that afforded them do special prir
fleges above oter citizens. The commit
tee put hides on the dutiable list and a few
cattle men rejoice, but the great shoe and
boot manufacturers protest against the
duty as being Inimical to their Interests.
Thus it Is, tliat, though now, the tariff Is In
the hands of its friends for revision and
reduction, yet their own committee finds
Itself dodging here to teer clear of Scilla,
only to find themselves stranded on
Charybdis there. Such must be the In
evitable fate of all who seek to legislate
o benefit selfish interests. Protection as
a f o'.icy should be put in a course of final
extinction. The educational processes are
now at work in the minds of the people by
which thfc robber svste.n will become a
thing of the past.

The "eimpslgn of education" which hat
been going on In the minds of the people on
the fully and injustice of our present high tariff
wsr taxes, hm, for months, created more com
motion, among farmers than any other class and
this commotion, this diipositionoit the part of
faimer to investigate into its inequalities and
injustice has been the csuse of fi ightcning and sl
srming the republican tcsders into the belief that
the greatest menses to their continuance in
power Is this study of that question by the
farmers. This is not surprising, though it Is a
matter of almost inexplicable wonder that
farmers have not studied these nutters more
diligently lonfc before this. As an evidence of
the fright of republican leaders it Is only neces
sary to refer to the various efforts being made
lo show to the farmers thst the war tariff has
nothing to do with the present depressed con
dition of agriculture. First comes Statist!
clan Podge in his March report of the depart
ment of agriculture and says that the low price
of corn and wheat is Owing to over production.
Then comes the Orrgoin with ponderous
editorial and vouch safes to the Urmer the
same rcsson for these low piics , Doth advise
the farmer to "diversify" his crops Dodge
says, (and the OrepeaiWa responds "me too,'
that the farmer should raise sugar, sni.nals and
their products, fibers, fruits, nuts, barley, leaf
tobacco and wines. These are; the panaceas
hich are to cure the disease of the agricultural
body politic. Every intelligent farmer will
justly and truely denounce those who give this
vlvice et demaeocue. Does not every one
know that If all our formers could diversify
their crops and thus produce the products
above named that the prices of these articles
would go down as has wheat and com? Caa
Dodge or the Orvfoani, with no experience
as farmers, set themselves up as teachers of
agriculture to farmers of life long experience I
They e'pect farmers to gulp down till advice

farmers are waking and propose to make their
own inquiries, inea comes uoipn, "our

tariff as affecting fanners. We are gravely
told that 20, 000 copies of this speech arsto be
distributed among the farmers of Oregon. V
hope it will be done. The demagogic fallacies
in the speech crop out so prominently that even
a casual reader will not fail to see them. The
whole burden of theena'or s speech seems to be
the "home market" stuff. He wants the farmer
to hsve the "borne market" for his wteat,cora

The subterfuge and dodges to which
the friends of protection have to resort to
make all classes of people believe that they
are benefitted by the war taxes now Im
posed upon them, are almost numberless
The farmer Is told that somehow, by and
through the Inscrutably mysterious Influ
ence ofthe high protective tariff he Is to
have a home market In wi tch to sell nil
his products at high prices. Now, for
twenty-five yers he has been walling
patiently for this hame market but It has
never come to him. Instead of having
this promised home matket, he Is com
pelled to export his wheat, corn, beef, pork
and bacon to foreign markets and there
sell them In compctlon with the nations
of the earth. Our cotcinporary, the er-
aAf, attempts to account for the low price
of wheat by saying that through the etab
llshment of cheap transportatiot. In Eu
rope and Asia, wheat rarlsed In those
countries is put Into the Liverpool mar
kets at much cheaper prices than hereto
fore, and that these prices have to be met
by American wheat. The attempt Is
made to show that the tariff of protection
has nothing to do with this low price of
American agrluutural products. The .at
tempt is a fall'ire. The price of American
products shows that the promises of good
prices to the farmer aa his portion of the
benefits of protection has not been
realised. The high protective tariff has
driven American shipping from the high
seas and American products are carried to
English markets In Er-gllsh vessels pay
Ing freights both ways, as ships coming to
the United States have to come In ballast
and the wheat shippers are charged high
rates to cover the trip both wave. In turn
the purchaser of wheat must reduce the
price to the farmer on account of lee
high freight expenses. In this way the
high tariff affects the price of wheat. At
tempts are dally made to blind the farm
ers to these truths but the "campaign of
edncation" Is going on, and the time
coming on apace when a tariff for pro
section for protection's sake will be regard
ed by all Intelligent freemen as the veriest
outrage upon the rights of American cUt
aenshlo.

The announcement by the republican
of the House Way and Mean committee
several days ago that the tariff bill was
complete has brought great deal of
