"TIDINGS. OF GREAT JOY
We leara from the esteemed Statesman that Coneress
man Hawley has wired that he is working for the resubmis
sion of the Fordney tariff bill with the items unchanged and
that therefore a tariff on cherries is assured and the pros
perity of Oregon growers thereby certified.
. "All of which is tidings of great joy. If it wasn't for
Mr. Hawley's occasional telegrams to the Statesman, we
wouldn't know we had a Congressman i for we never hear of
him otherwise. It is a source of great satisfaction to know
.that Mr. Hawley is still in the land of the living. Although
in Congress for many years, no law bears his name and no
i one. has heard of him except through his own wires since
the good old days when Uncle Joe Cannon ruled the roost
and commended him as a 'Me-too Congressman.
' ','Of course there is a fly in the ointment the Fordney
bill only places a three cent a pound tariff on cherries when
it might jusut as well have been thirty cents or three dol
lars, as far as effect on the price received by the grower is
, concerned. But the intelligent reader must understand this
; is not Mr. Hawley's fault and the defeat will probably be
remedied later when the real thing in the way of a tariff is
enacted.
" ''America must not become the dumping ground for the
cherries of a war ruined Europe. Germany might pay her in
demnity with cherries and devastated France might be re-
habilitated by shipping us cherries -and Bolshevik Russia
might re-establish her departed commerce with cherries i
J the emergency is a great one. but we can rest easy, for a wise
Congressman stands like Horatia at the bridge to check the
'. therry invasion. t , :r
r...rrui course last year, without -a tariff -to save ourcher-
a pound. ..This year,-the outlook is that, no matter how high
the tariff, the cherry crop will not bring half of last yeaPs
.figure. It will be remembered that when there was a high
v tariff on prunes under the Payne-Aldnch act, prunes sold a
4 less than half the tariff duty. But there is nothing like puil
Ing yourself up by the bootstraps and that is what! the
; Fordney tariff attempts. Even the stand-pat Oregonian pro-
; "It Is just as well for Mr. Hawley. to srold-brick the or-
chardist along with the farmer, for as Barnum says, peopl

I producer, his support is secured for a tariff to enrich the
trusts and that is the milk in the cocoanut."
profit ; providing there is the proper marketing arrangement
made in advance. ....
Talking of enriching the trusts: The trust that nas Deen
enriched at the expense of our cherry growers is the maras
chino trust ...
And surely our own producers should be considered oe
Italv. SDain or anv other country; surely it
will not help the Italian growers to allow both themselves and
our own growers to be impoverished by the maraschino
trust - . : . . ,

perity through a protective tariff than if fret trade were
continued and our producers and manufacturers and labor
ers allowed to be dragged down to the Oriental and European
evels. ,
This is no iokinsr matter, if you are a cherry grower, or
any other kind of a grower or dependent upon the growers;
and we all are; for theirs is the foundation industry upon
which our whole commercial structure must be Duiiaea.
There is onlv one way under heaven by which our in
dustries in this country must be saved: our laborers kept
from being impoverished; our whole country Kept irom De-

And that is through the protective tarni, wnicn, inanK

gency bill to be spread on the statute books in a little over
two weeks. nd. second, by the main tariff bill, to become a
law a short time thereafter; and to the work of Mr. Hawley,
espaciaily in the latter regard, the whole country will fce in
debted.
The prune story of the esteemed Capital Journal is also
a lemon; a joke. The duty on prunes under the Payne-Al-drich
act was 2 cents a pound. The idea that during the
vears when it was the law prunes sold for less than a cent a
pound is a pipe dream. It was in force from August 5, 1909,
till October 3. 1913. when the present Underwood Democratic
free trade law took its place. Even under the present law,
there is a duty of one cent a pound on prunes.
and there was no profit under
he sun.
'Therefore I hated life; because
he work! that is wrought under
the sun is grievous unto me; for
all is vanity and vexation of
spirit.
"Yva. I hated all lahor which
I had taken under the pun; Ins-

Mr. Hawley is a large figure in Washington; he is among
the fifty, yea, the dozen leaders of the House, and he is so
recognized by the best authorities. About the first of the
year, for instance, the New York Journal of Commerce, sym
pathetic with the importers (the free traders) of the coun
try, interviewed a number of the Members of Congress and
'Senators on the prospects for a protective tariff bill and in
