Eugene City Guard. BilUEDAY AUGUST 29. 1891. "A Tariff Picture." Tho Ht. Louis Urpublic cxjxwoh winie false cluiniH uh follows: A nfw York coiiU'iuiwrary founded by tho Ammidoun League of Protected I'lutomts iH very fond of "tariff iictures" of this kind: "A Fourteenth street dry goods liouso hiHt Sunday advertised Smyrna rugs of three sqimro yards each for Bale ut 249. Well, tho duty on those- rugs is 00 cents a yard and -10 pr cent, ad valorem, or 2 80. Wo again ask if the tariff in ft tax." Now, Smyrna is l.K-ated in Asia, and, according to this statement, 2.80 duty, fine, taA, or whatever you leaH6 to call it, ..iunt Ijo paid on a Smyrna rug of three square yards before it can get into this country. No mattei what you call it, you cannot get a Smyrna rug of that size past tho custom house without paying 2.80 on it. Then, according to the "tariff picture," you go off and give it away and in uddition make tlio xwni you give it to o present of 31 cents or the difference between 2.80, tho duty, and 2.49, tho selling price. Wo might ask our Ammidoun eontemprary to explain how this is possible, but that in unnecessary, as no merchant is ever silly enough to give away Smyrna rugs and as the Ammidoun organ is not likely to tell tho truth about it, at any rate. Tho truth, tho wholo truth, and nothing but tho truth, is that the alleged "Smyrna rug" sold for if 2.4!) is a forgery, a fraud, a cheat, that is probably not worth carrying homo at 50 cents. It never saw Smyrna at all. It was made either in New England, New York or Philadelphia. It is made of cotton and shoddy. Tho Republic knows of ono of theso frauds bought a full year after a real Smyrna rug of which it was a forgery. Tho Smyr na rug is still, as good as new. The colors aro fresh and brilliant. It has not lost a strand of its fringe. Tho fraudulent imitation is so worn out after its short service that it is not lit to put in tho laundry to keep tho washerwoman's feet out of tho slop. Fit for nothing else, it might do to furnish a photograph to illustrate tho tariff as a tux. Forty years ago tho millionaires could bo counted on the fingers of a hand. Now there aro 10,000 mil lionaires, and half tho wealth of GJ ,000,000 people is in the hands of 25,000 men. Acting on tho belief that vast wealth in tho hands of tho few would produeo traitors, Thomas Jefferson swept from tho statutes of Virginia tho laws of primogeniture. What aro tho poo plo of this day and ago going to do to stay tho hand of corporate jower from grasping tho entire wealth of tho country, and thus enslave the people? Tho tell-talo microscope reveals tho fact that while tho "Holy Coat" exhibited at TrevcB is made of linen, a piece of the samo garment exhib ited at Argentuil is made of camel's hair. But this Blioukl not shako tho faith of the truly faithful. Tho miracle that preserved tho coat for 2,000 years could easily convert lint of flux into hair of camel. Tho mi croscopist has no business to mon key with tho miraculous, Spokane Chronicle: Wheat is carried from Chicago to Buffulo, N. Y., 800 miles by water, or 500 miles by an air lino, for 1 cent per bush el, less than 35 cents jier ton. Transporting wheat from tho Pu louso country to tho Sound nt 5 per ton, costs tho Washington farmer 15 cents jier bushel. The fuc't demonstrated by tho of ficial figures that Alabama is pro ducing more iron oro than Pennsyl vania, and that tho total product of the South is now in excess of that of the whole country in 1870, must bo regarded as a very interesting and significant ono, says tho St. Louis Democrat. Tho enterprising newspapers of the east Bay it is to be in October that Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland's fam ily is to be increased. The news papers aro close figurers and before this interesting event occurs the public will undoubtedly bo appris ed of the Bex of tho youngster. "Ah, Joncsy, old man," said Bjenks, as he and Jones walked home from the club, "there's a light in your window for you. You mar ried men " "By George, so there is!" returned Jones. "Let's go back to tho club." Up to date the oople who have profited most by the wool tariff are the gentlemen who shear shoddy The men who shear wool are begin ning to find out that they are not in it. Oregon had advanced enough to be made a territory on August 13, 1818. Kstray Nolle.
