The arguments
nml Philinninn nnsn4 Imvc been made
in the United States supreme court
and tho cases have been submitted
for the final adjudication of the
court. To the ordinary lay mind
the constitutional question involved ,
appears quite simple. It becomes
complex and dillicult only when the
lawyers begin quoting authorities
and decisions whose relevancy the
lay mind is unable to determine.
As to the question involved there
can be no doubt. It all hinges on
the meaning of the first clause of the
eighth section ot the first; article of
the constitution, which reads as fol
lows :
"The congress shall have power to
laj' and collect taxes, duties, imports
and excises, to pay the debts and
provide for the common defense and
general welfare of the United States,
but all duties, imposts and excises
shall be uniform turought the United
States."
Reduced to still more concise di
mensions the thing to he determined
is, Whit did the framers of the con
stitution mean by the term "United
States?" "When this has been de
termined the controversy would seem
to be at an end. It was "We the
people of the United States" that
"ordained and established" the con
stitution. Who were "we?" There
can be only one answer. It was
only the people of the states united
who were privileged to vote oa the 1
uuupuuii ui me uuusiiuiud;i.
At the time of its adoption in 17SS
we owned, outside the states them-
selves, the vast national domain i
n. ah i . i
nins and the Mississippi river. A J
year before the adoption of the con- j
stitution the part of this domain
lying north of the Ohio river, and
comprising the present states of
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois. Michigan
and Wisconsin, had been organized
by the famous ordinance of 1787
into the Northwest Territor', with a
regular territorial government. But
no resident of thai territory, or of
the territory south of the Ohio had ,
any voice in "ordaining or establish
ing" the constitution.
The constitution was thus ordained
and ratified 1)3 the people of the'
stales that comprised the Union and 1
by thorn only, and from that hour to1
this the people of the territories
never have had a voice in making,
ratifying, amending or operating the
constitution. To a lay mind, there
fore, capable of construing a plain
English sentence, and not befogged
by the subtilties of the law, it
would appear that the term United
States meaus the slates united and
nothing more.
Matters ot great and
far-reaehiii"
importance to Oregon have been and
still are before the United States
senate. Vet .Senator Simon remains!
in Oregon, attending to his own J
private interests and, incidentally, .
for Joseph is very far from being a
philanthropist to the inteiests of(
his political paid and dupe, "the old
man of tho sea." Vet the big Port

The Porland organ of .Mr. Corbett,
when it copies from the linker City

views of that paper as the sentiment
