THE il'KINLEY BILL.
When the McKinley bill was being
discussed last year, the main argument
against it was that it would restrict our
foreign trade; tbat the levying of in
creased protective duties wonld keep out
foreign goods and that, as a result, for
. eigners would buy less of our ngircultural
and manufactured products. This was
the argument and the public was asked
to wait and see if results did not justify
it. Now, as to the results: The official
statement issued by the bureau of statis
tics at Washington, comparing exports
and imports for the seven months ended
July 31, J891, under the operations of
the McKinley bill, with the correspond
ing seven months of 1890 under the
operations of the old tariff law, has just
been printed. Figures are dry reading
but it is necessary to understand them
in order to comprehend results and we
ask our readers impartially to review
the figures and base their own judgment
upon them. They show that during the
seven months ended July 31,1891, under
the McKinley bill, thiscountry imported
$11,000,000 more of merchandise than
during the corresponding seven months
' of the preceding year under the opera-
tions of the old tariff law. During the
seven mouths of this year fifty per cent,
or cne half of the merchandise imported
was admitted free of duty ; while during
tle corresponding seven months of 1890,
"under the tariff law, only thirty-three !
Ier -ent. of the total imports was ad
mitted free of duty. So that the Mc
Kinley bill, during the seven months of
its operation for which we have official
statistics, resulted in increasing the vol-
unie of imports by $11,000,000 and ad-
imitting seventeen per cent, more of for-
eigu imports free of duty than were ad
mitted under the operations of the
former tariff bill. Are these statements
denied? Foreign trade, so far as im
posts were concerned, was increased.
How was it with our export trade? The
passage of the McKinley. bill, it was said
. wJd not only cut down our imports,
but -would also cut down our exports,
because foreign nations would only buy
-from us if we bought from them? Offi-
figures for the 6even months men
tioned show that during that period in
-1891 tl? exports of domestic merchan-'-'dise'were
increased by over $34,000,000
beyond those of the corresponding seven
vmomlhs in 1890 under the operations of
iihe old law. None can dispute these
'figures. They prove that the McKinley
bill has not - injured American trade
with foreign countries. On the other
band, a little more than half a year's
- experience with the McKinley bill has
increased our foreign trade nearly forty
three and a half million dollars over
what it was during the corresponding
period while the old tariff law was in
" -operation. We have said before that
partisanship should not be mixed up
with the discussion of the tariff ques
tion. We should all be good enoueh
Americans to support any policy which
helps our business interests, no matter
whether or not there is a partisan out
cry against it. The results of the Mc
'. Kinley bill justify the arguments in its
favor. If they had been otherwise we
should not have hesitated to say so.
Frank Leslie's.
Mugwumps and free traders would be
happy if they could only satisfy them
selves and others that it is impossible to
produce tin and make tin plate in the
United States, and also that the con
eumer of sugar as well as the grower of
sugar beets is benefitted, directly or in
directly, by the bounty paid. ' They
determined to oppose any such enter
prises, Tut time will determine their
success. Meanwhile, the work of pre
paration for the making of tin goes on,
find the longer the people enjoy cheap
sugar the better they appear to like it.
No one has as yet, says the Astorian,
fathomed the reason for Mr. .Brgue's
summary dismissal as impracticable of
the one side of the portage railroadques
tion, but there is a pretty general belief
that somewhere concealed is "a nigger
in the fence." That he should oppose
building on the Oregon side because the
road ' ould in some places parellel the
Union Pacific, is certainly not a valid
reason, and calls for a fullerjexplanation
of the suppoped difficulties which at
present are invisible to all ! t Mr.
Bocue himself.
BBIEF STATE NEWS.
Benton county is well represented at
the Industrial Exposition. It has one
of the best displays of fruits and cereals
ever collected in the state. - ..' " '
A .daily paper ' called .the Effort, has
been started at Lebanon by William M.
Drais. As the days . roll by the editor
will discover how "appropriately named
is his paper.
: John Mcintosh, of Pendleton, who has
been putting in the summer umpiring
base ball games, has just fallen heir to
510,000 by the death or nis latner in oi.
Thomas, Canada.
According to official reports tobacco is
raised in fourteen counties in Oregon
Linn being the banner one. . In point of
average value ' per acre Oregon stands
third among tne states.
The Echo Milling Company are build -iug
and . have nearly completed two
warehouses with a capacity of 150,000
bushels. The mills have a daily output
of from 125 to 140 barrels, and have con-
cracted for 100,000 bushels of wheat trom
the Walla Walla valley.
There are a great many deer being
killed in the Coast range, along the line
of the Oregon Pacific, and. taken to the
Portland market for sale. , The passen
ger train brings out from six to eight
nearly every morning, and occasionally
the carcass of a big black bear adorns
the baggage car.
The Corvallis Times says : "There is
only one vacant residence in Corvallis
waiting for an occupant, and this is not
a very desirable, place it is the county
jail. This speaks volumes for the law
and order . of a thrifty community.
Every available corner is rented, arid
others would locate if they could find a
place to live."
Umatilla county farmers were obliged
to abandon their, intention to have a day
of jubilee and speech making at Pendle
ton, October 15." President Polk of the
National Farmers' Alliance and Indus
trial Union, is ill at his home in Wash
ington, D. C, and will be unable to ful
fill the appointments made for his in
tended visit to Oregon and Washington.
Grace Bradley, the little daughter of
the Union Pacific depot agent at Athena,
the other day found a check, payable to
bearer and signed by the Oregon state
treasurer, for f 3500, in the north part of
town. It was turned over to the bank.
Who it belongs to or how it came there
is a mystery, says the Athena Press. It
is more than likely the check is a clumsy
attempt at a forgerv,- as checks bv the
state treasurv are not usually made out
to bearer.
A few weeks ago a man visited Pendle
ton, giving his name as H. H. Downs
and business as representative of the
World's Fair Publishing company. He
wore good clothes and was a man of per
suasive address. Pie proposed to illus
trate Pendleton in his paper. Several
business men gave orders for cuts of
their buildings at $15 each, and paid the
money. Mr. Downs called on the city
council and so impressed that body with
the beauties of his scheme that cuts
were ordered for abird'a-eye-view of PenJ
dleton and public buildings at a cost of
$75. The next morning Mr. Downs left
the city. Telegrams to Chicago obtained
replies disclosing the fact that a very
slick swindler had been among them, j
umer towns are warnea to iook out lor
him.
Historical Reminiscences. .
A Boston man was pricing an old sofa
in an auction-rooni.
. "This sofa," said the anctioneer,
"came over in the Mayflower, and is ful
of reminiscences."
"Yes, pa, there is one now crawling
up the back of the sofa," observed the
would-be purchaser's little boy.
""Yep, it seems to be alive with histori
cal reminiscences," remarked the gen
tlemen, punching the corner of the sofa
with his cane. , '
' TheElght-Hourlaw Carried. ,
Sydney, Oct. 16 The , government
yesterday opposed the motion to the ef
fect that the government bill, regulating
mining laws, "be returned to the commit
tee in order that the . eight-honr la
bor clause, which it contained, - might
be eliminated. The motion carried by a
vote of 49 to 41 . It is understood in
consequence of the defeat of the govern
ment the cabinet will resign.
Business of tbe I'an-American Congress.
St. Locis, Oct. 16. The only business

Pan-American congress yesterday after
noon was the.appointment of an inter
continental committee reresenting Mex

Spanish West Indies,' Argentine Repub
lic, Chili and Uruguay. .-"
S. L. Adams, one of the proprietors of
the Silverton Appeal, recently purchased
a $40 interest in a shell game at the
state fair at Salem. . Served him right,
A country editor with $40 in his pocket
should have better sense than to go
monkeying around a stale fair. He
should buy a railroad or a bank with it.
