EFFECT OF FREE COMPETITION.
From "Protection- and Prosperity"
wo extract the following. Mr. Corliss,
the author.'haa given much space to this
subject nd his treatment is convincing
and conclusive:
The rain which roust befall oor coun
try while ruling through the transfor
mation 'from oor vast industrial system
to tho conditions imposed by an applica
tion of feo trade principles, is most
appalling to contemplate. In order to
Hold our home market, we must at once
be reduced to the level of Europe as a
producing country, and thus cacrifice
billions of dollars In wages and submit
loan incalcnable ehrinkage in values.
But while this is taking place, our indus
tries could not be kept intact. Our sys
tem of doing business on credit is eo
universal that shrinkage in values
would ruin every manufacturing estab
lishment and in turn wreck every bank,
and in its destructive influence woul d
reach every depositor and every home in
the land. We should be left with a
bankrupt people attempting, without
capital or credit, to resuscitate and read
jnst our industries to a condition under
which, if they were continued, they
would yield meagre returns to labor and
capital. This process hu actually be
gun. The calamities of the last three
yearn are but a shadow of what inevit
ably follow if tbe warfare is continued
and the designs of free traders aro put
fully into practice.
The Gorman-Wilscn bill directed its
attack against the woolen industry by
reducing duties to an average ad valorem
rate of less than 50 per cent,' which by a
system of undervaluation that lis made
possible, reduces the protective duty
still lower. Tbe busy woolen mills of
England and the idle woolen mills of the
United Stales, with the Increased im
ports of, woolen goods, show that the
death-dealing process is doing ita wcrk

In 1877 the average ralne of the hay
crop in the United States was $5.60 psr
ton. The following year it dropped to
$7.20, and in 1S79, the year next ensn
ing, it jumped up to $9.32 per ton.
Again. In 1S91, when this country
was firmly on a'gold basis, tbe axcrage
ralne of the hay'crop was (S.40 per ton
in lbSCn leu to foV73 per ton, and in
1833 it rose to $3.63 per ton. Last year
tbe average value was $3.56 p:r ton.
AEsnming that tbe fall in prices is doe
to the "crime of IS73," Low are thete
fluctuations to be accounted for? Will
some Bryanite explain also why it is that
tbe average value of the hay crop per
ton was greater in 1895, when we were
on a gold basis, than it was in 1S73,
when gold was at a premium?
Hay has undoubtedly declined in price
since 1S73, but why should it cot hare
done so? Apart from cheaper methods
of production and cheaper rates of tract
portation, tbe annual hay crop increased
Irora 25,0S5,1&0 tons in 1S73 to 65,766,
15S tons in 1S33. Last year it amounted
to about 47,000,000.
At tbe same time the cumber of
bones in the United States increased
only irom 9,222,470 in 1S73 to 15.S33.31S
in 1S95. It is estimated that there are
nearly 1,100,000 fewer horses in this
country today than there were three
years ago.
These plain frets and figures should
not be hard to comprehend. Let tbe
farmer study them before he allocs him
self to be hoodwinked by free silver dem
agogism. Oregon-drown Peaches.
A large quantity of Mori peaches are
being shipped to market from E. E. An
derson's orchards near Talent. Tbe
peach crop has almost been a failure in
all parts of Southern Oregon this season,
on account of the late frosts, but there is
an occasional orchard that has a partial
crop. Mr. Anderson expects to market
1000 boxes from his orchard. The crop
shortage has, of course, raised the price
considerably for borne consumption, lo
cal prices having run from Vi cents to 3
cents, where they are usually about 1
cent per pound. Tbe peach trees will
hare a good rest this year, and will be
prepared to do good work next year.
