AN ALMOST HOPELESS MUDDLE
It seems there is a clash between
the Oregon and "Washington and
Idaho representatives over the pro
ject of improving the dalles of the
Columbia. The Washington and
Jdaho representatives favor a portage
road on the Oregon side of the river.
Messrs. Tongue and Moody are op
posed to a portage road, the former
on principle, as being the opening
"wedge for government ownership of
Tail ways; the latter because he be
lieves a portage road would not
afford much relief on account of the
cost of transferring freight and be
cause it would tend to prevent the
building of a canal or boat railway,
which alone would permanently meet
the demmds of the tributory ttatlic.
On the other hand Representative j
, ; . , leges equal to those enjoyed by the
..... . ' most favored
4i built and not operated, its vcrv
construction would accomplish the
state. And why not? Our experi
ence with the little state portage at
the locks lcikds us to believe that the
people of Oregon would get back, in
the form of cheaper freights, the
whole cost of construction within a i-
year.

FEAST.

Whatever modifications of exist
ing tariff lavs may be demanded by
present conditions the Republican
party is not ready to have the whole
American system tumble about our
cars like a house of cards. Yet this
is precisely one of the things indirect
ly involved in the Puerto Kican
tariff bill. American producers have
no dread of Puerto Rican competi
tion. It is that of the Philippines
they fear, and with good reason. If
congress has no power to impose
tariff restrictions on Puerto Rican
products they can impose none on
those of the Philippines. If they
can impose no restrictions on Filipino
products they can impose none any
where, and the whole system of
custom duties falls to the ground.
This is no idle dream. Every in
telligent free trader in the land
knows it. Every well-informed Re
publican knows it, or ought to know
it. Hence the bitterness of Demo
cratic opposition. Hence the obsti
nacy of Republican persistence.
Only a word is needed to place this
matter in its true light. Under the
treaty recently negotiated with Spain,
that country is to enjoy in the Phil
ippines for ten years the same trading
privileges as the United States enjoys.
If the constitution goes to an Amer
ican territory befoie It is sent there
by congress the constitution is already
in the Philippines. If it is there it
has carried with it the right to free
trade with the United States. It
follows, therefore, that if we can
place no restrictions on our exports
to the Philippines we can place none
on Spanish exports to these islands.
But the United States has treaties
with all the great nations of the earth
which guarantees to them, in all
United States territory, trade privi-

Amid all the froth and

a long-suffering people over this

A right ot way adapted to any of
