IT HAS long been aa American doctrine that it wee Justifiable ' and politic to M the nation's taxing power in aid of worthy "in ; feat" or "struggling" industries, on - . the theory that the interest of all is ' the interest of any on of all, and that ; it is best to make or produce as much - aa possible of what we ntc-To this extent Clay and Webster were protec . tionists, and later Lincoln and Gree " ley andCArfitld andotheYiTbut Gai field said that the right kind of pro tection was that which would lead to ; freer trad, o'-' V"T;r But the more modern school of pro tectionists hare lost sight of or . abandoned the original intent and pur pose of protection, and now the main object or at least result of protection is to benefit great , combinations of capital engaged m monopolistic , in-1 'dustrial enterprises, and In return the! party .of protection ,haa been accus tomed quadrennially or biennially, to use the phrae-of the late Senator -. Plumb of Kansas,' to "fry the fat" but Of the protected interests, The farm ers, the mechanics, the ordinary busi , aess man, workingmeajrenerally, pro- tectioa protects or benefit not at all. , ,v But it has become - such a -fetich with larg proportion of Repub lican Ieadera that they ascribe every- . thing good-r-all our prosperity, all .our-achievements, aH-our progress to protection. If there are bountiful crops, if there arc good prices, if there is great development, if the great land in which we lire ia moving rapidly upward and ;: onward to a greater and an incomparable destiny, it is all due to protection, a system of indirect taxation by which the many are forced to contribute many tens of minions year to the favored few. Protection has helped, tr hiM -up scores of trusts, that . are plundering the people, most of whom, however, re tolerably prosperous in spite of it. and this is its main purpose and re ault today. ' ' . ,' ; WASHINGTON IN FRONT. ITH a,, perversity thst" great west " many heart- aches, natural phenomena for years persisted in permitting themselves to ; b discovered ia the east . Giaiys, petrified and ossified; midgets, nat ural and unique; animals of apochry- . phal -origin; and other monstrous .products of prehistoric origin and present-day -advertising- value were . found and classified and boasted of beyond the Rockies. , The great west ern heart felt pretty sore at all this. ." Indeed, it would be feeling that way nowt if it had not been for Wash- ington. v In the. past few months that atate has come to the rescue nobly, and the natural phenomenon that escaped the watchful vigilance of the hunters of the wonderful has' hsd to be very speedy, indeed. . It is not so. long ago that's party ' of trout fishers made the highly inter, csting discovery of "a natural mint Julep wefl in the neighborhood of ' Seattle. The underground flow of ' the " beverage was ' singularly sweet and pleasant, and careful ' analysis showed it to possess all thefi ingred ients of the manufactured concoction with one exception. , It lacked Jce. " TBis"exrraor'dinary"erslght on the fart of nature ' caused : some harsh criticism from' people who were in- !ired to Seattle in the neighborhood cf the mint julep well, and the price ef lot decreased. v ' " : But a few weeks after the bottom appeared to hav fallea out of Seat tle's Julep boom, the glad tidings of a anaed chicken farm cam from Ta eoma. Prospectors declared ' they tad discovered ft great aataral re f 'reretor, about seven (Biles In ex- perfectly seasoned chicken. ' Eminent- scientists wer. engaged to ex amine the contents of this larder, and asserted that they were nothing but the best product of - the packing houses. ' Microscopic I Scrutiny re vealed the fact that the fowl was of the Leghorn variety. -Unfortunately tor the ptuylc wlio purchased Iota in the many townsites near Tacoma and the natural larder, the packing house scandals spread their bad odors over the land and further " immigration was somewhat discouraged. ; Now the interesting . news . comes from "Spokane that a great ice farm has been found in the neighborhood. I IrwaTdisWVeredrTCe a Sunday school who were blackber rying in the beautiful wood near Spo kane where a year before they had enjoyed a picnic The superintend ent recalled that last summer he had dropped aome aeed ice, and the-fer tility of the soil was so remarkable that a splendid crop of congested dis tilled water was the result Accord ing to reports made by experts, this ice, has a fine hardiness that repels the sun's rsys and consequently it lasts much longer thaa ice found else where. , . The Spokane press" speaks in very temperate manner of the discovery, and calls attention to the fact that the price of -lots in the neighborhood of the ice farm will not be increased. The ice grows luxuriantly, and aa the light aeed flakes are blown about like thistle down, it is hinted that the growth may become a nuisance in the hot weather. , Spokane may pass laws to prevent the spread of the ice to the lawns .and gardens. ; MRCANNON'3 MISTAKES. S PEAKER CANNON, Remarks the Baltimore News, alluding to his Danville speech, "says the same old things that have always been said by protectionist, orators; repeata the aame old errors and half truths. He says the periods of pros perity have alwaya been under protec tion and the perioda of adversity un der free trade or tariff for revenue only. This in spite of the fact that the panic of 1873 and the subsequent long period Of depression every bit ss bad aS the panic of 1893 and the subsequent hard times occurred ' in the very middle of unbroken Repub lican and high tariff rule; and in spite of the fact that under the low tariff of 1846 the country was so steadily prosperous that 10 , years thereafter there was practically no opposition to a further lowering of duties. Our la bor. Mr. Cannon saysrcccirea double the compensation paid to - labor in Great Britain and three timea the compensation paid on the continent of Europe. But if this is aa arga ment to show that protectionist America owes its higher wages, as compared with England to protection, it ia equally ao argument that Eng land owes to free trade ita superiority of wages to those of the continent of Europe However these considerations will make no impression on the standpat protectionists. They care neither for facta nor for logic, Ia another column The Journal publishes a communication which may interest those who have beea wont to read with reverence and bated breath the .oracular -editorial utterances of the Oregonian. . Our correspondent calls attention to an instance of flag' rant piracy, a deliberate literary theft An article published 33 years ago in Scribner's msgazine was republished last month by the' Oregonian as an a SB. ... , a - . . original editorial. Doubtless our contemporary supposed that the lapse of 33 yeara since the original publica tion made the theft perfectly safe.1 The Democratic congressional cam paign committee, after calm and cool deliberation on the personal, politic! and mental make-up of Mr. Roosevelt, gives the result in these words: ""He is a faker"; "be, is . a . four-flusher"; "he is ia collusion with the trusts." We have no hesitation in saying that such language comes under the head of Fighting Talk, and hereby warn the country to be prepared to be stunned by the most dignified silence that ever shook the White House. It is to be hoped that the rumors of two new opposition steamers to be put on the San Francisco route are well founded. More steamers have long been urgently needed, and Mr. Harriman's man Schwerin haa treated Portland shabbily, not to say shame fully in this matter. The new steam ers ought to get plenty of business from the first. . ' i' "' Senator Beveridge opened the Re publican congressional campaign at Portland, Maine, last night, and, atat ing that the only issue in the contest was th policy of Roosevelt's admin istration, "dismissed the tariff in, a parenthesis." .

But. to elt one flagrant example, on July It last the Oregonlan- published a long editorial entitled The Lost Dog." moat of which waa clipped from a Bcrlbner Monthly magasine published IS yeara ago. The stolen squib was published In 8crlbners under the caption, "The American Gen tleman of Leisure." . r. ....'"..'.,,...,- . The Oregonlan tagged It differently. "The Gentleman of Leisure" became "The Loot Dog." but It still retained its original entity. "The Gentleman of Leisure" may be found on page ttS of the December, UTS. Scrlbner's No, T ef the bound volumes). Behold the deadly parallel: . . (From Oregonlan Editorial Page, July is, isos. , s . The Xoe Dog. ' .. .'

The loas of his place In the world, and the loaa of hla objects of loyalty, personal and official, have taken the significance out of his life and the spirit out of him. He haa become a dog of leisure. , Most of the remainder of the editorial many sentences are copied word tor word, (From the Oregonlan, July II, 10I.) : The American young man ef leisure hss beoome a sort of .a lost dog. Our people are so busy, they have ao long associated personal Importance with action and use ruin ess, iai u is all a man's life Is worth to drop out of active employment It is Impossible that toe later, or man of leisure, can ever hold a desirable position where labor holda Its legiti mate rank and place . From th foregoing It can be seen thst th Oregonlan la an' MUterary thief, whoa reputation rests In great part en matter filched from others and printed as lucubrations of It own Inspired genius.

San Francisco will be rebuilt, and will eventually beebme a greater and bet ter city than ever, but while it is do ing 'so Portland will make long strides forward, and will become city of a quarter of a million inhabitants, or more. President Roosevelt really seems to imagine that the Panama canal sit uation ia all right, and to suppose that he caa make the rest of the country believe so by ssying so. But with all due respect for the president, he is sometimes seriously mistahewi and all the evidence at hand goes to show that not one third the amount of work has been accomplished that ' the money spent should have produced.' Mr. Thaw is prepared to try to prove that immediately be fore and immediately after he shot Whit he was sane; snd that the pe riod of his insanity Fasted just while he pulled the trigger. , This leaves District Attorney Jerome in a very unfortunate position;' he can convict Thaw of vagrancy only. : " .
