INTRODUCTORY.
Extracts contained in this paper
are editorial articled tuken from the
Oregonian, covering the period from
1880 to 1887, incluaive. They
ompriBe only a part of much that
that paper has had to say during
the time mentioned on the subject
f protection and tariff reform, and
In exposure of the impolicy and in
justice of the present system. They
demonstrate the soundness of the
tlews contained in President Cleve
land's tariff mease ge, and are in
perfect accord with all the essential
features of the Democratic position
n the tariff. They show conclu
sively that wool and lumber should
be free, and that the tariff n sugar
is ' a tax for revenue." Those ar
ticles expose in advance the fallacy
f revonue reduction, proposed by
the Republican platform, by abol
ishing the internal revenue tax,
thus making whisky ard tobacco
free, while the necessaries of life
are ma le dear. In short, these ar
ticles are unanswerable arguments
In support of the policy of the
Democratic platform and candi
dates upon the tariff questiou.
Aside from their intrinsic value,
as a contribution to Democratic
ampaign literature, these artioles
havo a sptcial value as an expres
sion of the opinions of one of the
ablet t and best known Republicans
tn the Tueifln Coast upon the vital
questions of the canvass, made
during a series ot years
when these questions were not in
Issue between the parties, and when
their consideration was not biased
by the prejudice of party politics.

An Inquiry la addressed tottie Oregon

This inquirer is misled by bis own
confusion of terms. Though duties are
not levied on home-produced materials
tliat enter into shipbuilding, yet tbe cost
of such materials are euortnously in
creased by onr system of protection. We
refuse to let in the foreign article, but in
vite the producer of tbe home article to
make the price excessive, and "pro
tect" him in doing so. Just as our tariff
on steel rails increases lite cost of all
steel rails in this country, whe' her im
ported or produced here, so our tariff on
shipbuilding materiels increases tbe cost
of all materials of this class. Herein is
one of tbe causes why shipbuilders of
tbe United htates cannot compete witb
those of other countries. That we have
in our country all necessary shipbuild
ing material is a bootless boast, so long
as our tariff policy makes them so costly
that we cannot use them.

(Pally Oregonian Febnrary M, MM. ) .
Again the principle known as fne
trade does not contemplate tbe total re
moval of duties. 8uch a result would
not be contemplated, even if it were for
any reason desirable. Revenue must he
had and no method for raising revenue
bss ever been devised which has, on the
whole, been so satisfactory as levying
duties on imports. The whole question
at issue turns on tbe principle npon
which these duties are to be imposed.
A duty ought to be laid opon these at ti
des which will produce a clear revenue
at least for collections, Sugar is one of
these. Coffee and tea are also admira
bly adapted to the same end, though our
lawa blunderingly exempts them from
duty. When such articles are taxed the
whole of tbe tax goes into the public
treasury. It is a tax for revenue, and is
directly opMed in principle and effect
to a duly imposed for "protection." The
object of those laws is not revenue, but
prohibition of importations, in order to
give tbe home market to the protected
class at high prices. The members of
tbe Iron and Kteel Association profiting
immensely under this system, under
stand its effects well enough, how much
soever their orgsn may attempt to dis
guise tbein.
Fortunes tor the Few.
Dally Orrgonlan February 2, im.
A limited class have conceived and put
tn practice the doctrine that It is a good
scheme for them to make the great body
of Uie people pay high prices for commod
ities which tbe comparatively small class
have to sell, and tbe government is
called into rob the many for tbe benefit
of the few. This is "protection" and
all there is of it. On no other subject is
there so much effort to mistify and befog
people. rrbss tbe reason is that it
pays to do so. It mnst le owned, too,
Hint tbe beneficiaries of the system are
highly successful in tin practice ot their
duperies on the people at large.
Thus our labor suffers from a sys
tem of rubbery, disguised under
forms of quackery for the pretended
protection of American labor. The
stupidity that doesn't see it, particu-
larly on this eoast, where the produc
ing classes are so plainly the victims
of it, is phenomenal and perhips
hopeless. Daily Oregonian, Oct. tl,

The proposal to stilish internal taxes
while keeping no the excessive and even
prohibitory dutiea levied under theeiia
taling svnteui of "protection," means
cheap whisky and dear clothing; an un

of which, however, only alout one-thinl

other two-thirds are divided as special

sary commodities is not expected or de
sired, but a reasonable modification and
and reduction of tbe rates of duty ought
to be granted. At any rate, whisky and
tobacco ought not be the only free arti
cles which the American citisen is
allowed to buy and consume. '
" Great Britain pays higher aver

The lunder duty it the most in

The Lumber Tariff. '
I Dal'. j Oreronlan, February 23, 1S8S.
The lumberman of this country, so far
as liieir views nave lound expression,
care nothing one way or another abont
tbe question of free lumber. Tbe busi
ness is here so well adjusted upon the
proper basis of supply and demand that
they have no fear of competition witb
British Columbia. In any event, there
is no danger of over supply or reduced
price. But in the old northwest there is
much division ol sentiment. Lumber
men are opposed to removal or reduc
tion of tbe Uriff because, ther rsnkly
say, it will bring Ca.iada lumber into
the country and reduce the price, t rom
the point of view of the consumers of
lumber, who outnumber the dealers sev
eral hundred to one, these are excellent
reasons for reducing or removing the
duty. From tbe point of view of tbe
national good, without reference to the
cost of the. article, a change in the law
which will increase the importation of
lumber, and check the rapid consump
tion of our own pine, is most desirable.
The lumber duty is the most inexcusa
ble folly and iniquity of the whole mon
strous bundle of iniquities and absurdi
ities called the tariff law. It cuts two
ways. It taxes the consumer to encour
age tbe destruction of the forests. Lum
ber is a peculiar product, in that it is
limited in quantity, and. once the sup
ply is exhausted, cannot be replaced for
several generations. Hie law should
study the preservation of tbe forests in
stead of encouraging their extinction,
should stimulate instead of prohibiting
the importation ot supplies from other
countries.
44 The unprotected classes not only
supply the whole country with their
products free of bounty, but export
ed a surplus exceeding fSOOfiOOfiOO
last pear, turning the ; 6aianc of
trade heavily'' in our favor, paying
off our foreign indebtedness and dif
fusing prosperity over the land in
defiance of the high tariff handicap
ping of pampered greed, which, like
the horse leech's daughter, cries
always for more."

Dally Orvronlmi, January 2S, UW2,

Thus it appears that ninety per cent,
of our exported products are ot the
"non-protected" and only ten per cent,
of tbe "protected" clana. Fifty millions
ot people are taxed constantly to the ex
tent of -10 to 100 per cent, on all tbe man
ufactured goods they consume. This
tax is collected of the consumers w hether
they un iuiK)rted or domestic manu
factures, and was imposed for the pur
puee of giving to the capital aud labor
of one-tenth of the ' people a special
bounty and subsidy nudor the falla
cious pretenae that it would add to
the wealth of the whole conntry. Yet
out of the nearly ISOO.OOo.OuO aurplus
products of the country exported to for
eign nations this subxidiaed and pro
tected rlasa contributed less than ten per
cent. The unprotected cUeees not only
supply Uie whole country with their
products free of bonntv, but exported a
surplus exceeding 100,000,000 Uat vear,
turning the balance of trade heavily in
our favor, paving off our foreign indebt
edness and diffusing prosperity over the
land in defiance of the high tariff, handi
capping ci pampered greed, which, like
the hor.-v'.eeclt'a daughter, cries always

44 Why should our industries here
be taxed to crtate an industry at

The Tin-plate Tax.
(Pally Orrfualaa, Jauuary JO, lso.)
There is an induatry here that is very
much interested in tin-plate. It wants
tin-plate to be aa cheap aa poaaible, so
that something may hv made out of the
canning bimineM. ' Therefore the prop
osition to double the duty on this article
is not a pleading one. I'ortland's board
of trade and Astoria's chamber of com
meres have protested. Mmilar proteata
have ben a.t.lreaaed U Congress Irom
other quarters. Many newspapers Lave
juiuttl in the effort to prevent the in-
oi ue uiuy. it see ma lbs ways
snd means committee bave been induced
to advance the rate by a statement from
Pittsburg to Uie effect that ii congress
will sufficiently protect tbe tin-plate in
dustry "it will provide a livelihood for a
large number of people." But why
should our industry here be taxed to
create an industry at Pittsburg? Is it
fair ? The Chicago Times states the case
for ua when it says : "If it 1 will not pay
to make tin plates without protection, it
is because men can do better at some,
thing else and for no other re8mi that it
is possible to assign. It is much the bet
ter way to let men do things at which
tbev can make a living without taxing
their neighbors. To take them from do
ing those things and set them at things
at which they cannot earn a living with
out the help of taxes paid by their neigh
bors, is the same thing essentially aa
taking them from useful employments
and setting tbem at carrying buckets of
water from Lake Michigan to Lake Su
perior." A far greater industry will be
taxed by the increase of the duty on tin
plate than can possibly be created by it.

uThe mass of the people want jus

A Lire Question. j
(Dally Oregonian. Mar U 1SSL) I
' a a
; Less than a hundred capitalists en
gaged in the Bessamer steel ring make
two or three hundred per cent, profit on
their money invested, but tbey pay their
workmen only the average wages, which
provide a bare subsistence. The same is
true in other protected industries. Tbe
tariff question csn no more be smothered
than could tbe slavery question a quarter
of a century ago. The mass of tbe peo
ple want now, as well as then, justice in
place of swindling, freedom instead of
monopolies. If just and real reforms are
denied the refusal will only intensify the
Irritation which will presently sweep
away a system which, whatever may be
Said in favor oi its moderate and tempo
rary application, is seen to have become
the means for gross abuses and system
atic robbery and oppression. . i
"What doea Senator Edmunds
or Mr. Blaine think to-day about
their pet theory that a protective
tariff makes a ' home market ' for
the American farmers' wheat, corn
and pork' by keeping out foreign
goods? Does the American farmer
eeriously believe to-day that he is
specially enriched by a protective
tariff which promised to make for
him a 'home market.' It looks
very much as if wheat rose and fell
without any reference to our pro

iarmeraoi me uniieu states would to

their wheat than thev now vet wn It
not for the protective tariff of 20 cents a

44 Our system now tends to foster

"You vright as well say that if you
cut off a dog's tail and ears the same
day he has reason to feel highly
amused, enUrtaened and grateful, as
to sag that a tariff on, coal, which
enables the coal combination to re

cially puts up the price of coal, thus
swelling the cost of the workingman'
fuel, was 'protection' to labor."
44 He is for protecting one and all
and dauntltssly advocates the great
principle that we can all can get

14 The time will come when men
will find it as difficult to conceive
that this obstructive and absurd
policy could ever have prevailed .
they now find it to account for the
petvtrsity which once denied free
dom of speech and press, or the in.
fatiation which believed in witch.

44 We ta x; the raw materitils of the
woolen manufacturing industry in
a way that protects nobody. It
keeps out foreign wools ' that we
need to mix with our native fleeces
and by restricting the variety of
fabrics which can be made here,
limits the demand for American
wool."
44 Manufacturing industry is fas
tened as a leech upon agricultural
industry and is gorging with the
profits." ' '
Thus our labor suffers , from
system of robbery, disguised under
forms of quackery for protection of
American' labor. The stupidity
that doesn't see it, particularly on
this coast, . where the producing
classes are so plainly the victims
of It, it is dhonomihal and perhaps
hopeless. Daily Oregonian, Octo
ber 2i, mi. '' 1 1 ,
"No imposition is too great to
catch stupid people, and herein lies
the great strength of our 'glorious
protective system." Protection is a
legalized form of robbery which
makes tht farmer foot the bills oft the
manufacturer."
44 But these men must be hypocrites
for they leave the American laborer
to starve while they run their mills
wiih 'paupers' imported from Europe.
This is protection for the master and
not the man. ;
44 There is no phase of protection
that will bear examination. Ev
ery part of the system is as weuk
as the argument for the protection
of wool. The system is through
out a shbrt-sighted game of greed,
