)e lower Lrancli of congress
yUrated and steeped up to its
VU tariff eloquence. There
een a deluge of tariff talk this
j Speeches follow each other
) rate of from six to tea each
'oar or against the Mills tariff
S mtj be. On Tuesday there
!x speeches, three for the bill
ree against it. On Wednes
1 orators held the floor huc
. Jy. Yesterday several long
es consumed the day. To-
)Bsn. Randall, McKinley and
.Vsnridge, of Kentucky, will
ant their verdicts, and on Sat.
1 rtjl the prominent republican
Jwr front Maine, Mr. Reed, and
hilt all to theiuselvcs, and with
their gpecLes, it is uiulorf lood, the
debate on the bill will close.
The report han Wen current at
the capital that after the general dis.
ciission on the bill lias closed, its
consideration by sections, and tiuitl
action upon it will lx allowed to go
over until after the democratic nn
tioual convention at St. Louis. Ilie
purpose of this, it is Mii.l, would m
to get ft declaration on the subject
from the convention, which will
bind every member nf the party in
congress to vote for the bill, ami
thus secure its passage. Still, no
one knows what will be done about
the matter nt this time, nu.l it i
hazardous to venture a prediction.
A speech by liepic bcutatit o lut
teiwottli, of Ohio, against the Mills
tariff bill, was the feature of the
debate on Tutsday last. lie ad
dressed it full house- ami much at
tention w;t-p.tid him for an hour or
so after he had finished. He ac
filed that a tnntf was not, stiictlv
spuaking. a tax; it was a trade reg
ulation relating to that part of a
nation's business which extends to
the productions of other couittiies.
He said lie could not iituterntand
how any ltih Amei icau could stand
here as the closest ami most earnest
ally of Kngland, who was uttempt
iug to do to this country wh:rt the
had doue to the Irish across the seas.
He created a good deal of laughter by
reading an extract from the London
Times, declaria the only ' time
England has any use for au Irish
man is when he emigrates to Amer
ica and votes for free trade,
which he iuvaribly es.
The senate has been slowly doing

the committee that the senate had
no right iu such a case to question
the regularity of members of state
legislatures, and lwdieved that ex
ceptional case's might arise wherein
the senate should not so broadly re
linquish authority. This led to a
long discussion. Iut this remiss j
body has made a number of special

three bills for tho admission of

Is the Protect! e Sjstf.j a Correct
One f
(By an e -Con federate In Texas.)
I- rom a manuscript with the above
title, which has been submitted to
ua, and from which we make ft few
significant extracts, it will be seen
that Mr. Edwards, of Knois, Texas,
is not tbe only ex-confederate who
is not of the same rniud as his fellow-citizen
Chairman Mills. These
extracts show the drift of the
writer's argument.
The tariff is a question of more
importance than slavery, which
quarter of a century ago the country
was called upon to settle by war.
Shall lbs United States discon
tinue the tariff', or modify it so that
we shall have tariff for revenue
only?
If the purpose is to reduce the

be a false step. One of two con
clusions is inevitable; either make
protection absolute, or declare free
trade. There can bo no half way.
In the United States we have an
undeveloped country , with avenues
for investment of more capital than
wo have to spire, and are constantly
borrowing from other nations. Oar
capitalists will not lend at two or
three per cent., because f hey can use
their money to Itetter advantage.
The workiugiuan is not forced to
accept pauper rate of wages, be
cause h ran do better by farming.
Hut is it expedient for the United
States to abandon manufacture and
rely upon her farming for support?
Is this going to make a prosperous
country? It inav do well for New
York mid lSouton, but how would it
affect the South, where money is
worth ten to twelve per cent, per
annum? Will it, not necessarily
stop nil development aud drive into
bankruptcy all who have already
engaged in the opening of our in-
jdtisttial resources?
J The writer concludes with an
'appeal to congress: "You must not
lose sigiii oi me i.ici mat li lias
taken many years of thought and
care to improve our sluep up to
their present condition. It has
cost enormously to purchase the
pure-blooil rams that were necessary
to use in gtaditig up the common
Mexican coarse-wool sheep to fine
merinos. All these years of labor,
care und expense have been under
gone by a worthy class of citizens
who have invested their all in sheep.
The welfare of themselves and fami
lies depend on the issue of the
tariff question. Are you not bound
to consider whether you have a
right to destroy this great in

The Klamath county (Oregon)
Star is a newspaper run for revenue
only. Atthe head of its editorial
columns it flies loth the pemocratic
and Republican tickets. It has sold
two parallel columns on its first
page for the campaign one to the
republican county central committeo
and the other to I he. democratic
county committee. One is headed
in bold black letters Republican
Column," and the other is bended
Democratic Column," in exactly
the same kind of tjpe. At tbe top
of each column the editor candidly
announces that he has sold the
space below or the campaign, and
is not responsible for anything np -pearing
therein. While the two
opposing columns conduct a wordy
and acrid warfare, the editor sits at
the receipt of customs, ami lakes
the pelf of Istth parties with equa
nimity ami it clejr conscience. This
feature of journalism is unique, but
it has its merits. The readers have
a fair opportunity of rending hide
by side what the opposing parties
have to say, aud can form a pretty
fair idea of what is sense and what
is nonsense. They also understand
that what they read is purely part-
izau and honestly paid for; there is
no deception, and everybody should
bo happy. With the subscribers it
is dimply "You pays your money
and you takes your choice." The
editor, lw ing a newspaper man, is
supposed to have no principles; ho
takes the money and makes no
choice. Hi method, however, is au
effective squelcher of the campaign
liar. That nimble rascal can't crawl
off the farm without being nailed.
While the Irish are sending from onu
hundred to two hundred thousand dollar
yearly to the poj, he sends them in re

strange that while money is being col
lected in New South Walt and other
pkicc for Ireland, she sends this much
to the pot?

A correspondent having asked the
Rural Yermonter certain questions
of interest to wool growers, it made
statements which brought the
Springfield Republican to it feet
with tho question why it was that
with a high wool tariff New England
had lost over COO.OOO, or one-third
of the sheep it had before tbe tariff
went into effect. The response of
the Vermonter is of interest to Cali
fornia wool growers, in considering
the question of wool on the free
list. The Veruionter quotes first
the allegation of the Republicaa
that "with the exception of a few
southwestern ranchmen woolgrow
ing with us is a mere incident of
farming." The Vermonter then
proceeds to
show, from
official
and 1800 a low wool tariff prevailed,
and the increase of sheep in the
United States was per cent. Uut
between 18(50 and 1870 a protective
tariff prevailed, and the increase of
sheep was 27 per cent., while be
tween 1870 and 1SH0 the increase
was about f 1 per cent, The increase
continued up to 18811, of both sheep
and wool product, when a reduction
of ten per cent, on tho tariff on
clothing uml combing wools was
ordered. Immediately there was
not great change, the wool aud
sheep industry indeed gained a little
during 11. but from the latter
date up to 1SK7 there was a sready
decline, until it itmouted to a falling
off of f. 1100,000 sheep. Had tho
protective policy as to wool prevail
ed, the ratio of increase in tho pre
ceding years, justifies the conclusion
that instead of a decline in 1887,
there won hi have been rt gain of
ti.OOO.OOO sheep. Tho importation
of wool bad risen from 78,000,000
pounds in 188, to 114,000,000 in
1887, when, according to the latio
of protection years, it should have
sunk to 40,000,000 pounds. It is
scare ly necessary to support the
Ytrmontet's case by giving the
reasons for these fluctuations.
They must bo apparent to all intel
ligent readers. When tho wool
industry was protected, aheep
raising was engaged in in order to
grow wool, not mutton. When the
protection was withdrawn, shecp
raisiug dediusJ to just about ilia
level of mutton furnishing.
A Hoy llreaks Info Store at Wash,
on Krai ami Takes Money and
Stamps.
List Friday night tho postofTice
at Washougal, W . T., kept in the
store f deary A. Herzig, was en
tered by a Fl-year old boy named
Chris. Ooebel and robbed. The
boy stole a sum of money, a quan-
tity of postage stamps, cutlery and
other small bhelf goods contained
in the store. Ho then went to La
Camas, where he stole a small boat
used for transporting tho mails from
the landing to the O. It. k N. steam
er and crossed over to the Oregon
side.
From this city Monday he return
ed a coat belonging to the Wash ougal
postmaster, stating that he
sent it buck because be could not
use it. At present the youth's
whereabouts is not known; but the
following w ill show that he is natu -rally
a criminal: Last summer be
stole a horse and rode it off to Van
couver, where he made an unsuc
cessful effort to Hell it, but before he
could consummate his purpose be
was arrested and taken back to
Washougal. Ho was placed in jail,
but broke out and got away. How
ever, he soon returned, but was not
prosecuted. If taken this time,
though, which is highly probable.
it will go pretty hard"wlth liTH!
COLLEGE JOURNALISM.
Cornell rii'.v.ndty to Have Hnrh a

Ithica, May 21. Cornell Univer
sity is soon to have a department of
journalism. Classes are soon to be
formed, and l'rof. Smith will give
lectures on newspaper work in the
great cities, aud the work of a re
porter. Classes will then be organ
ized, very much as the staff of a
large newspaper. Prof, Smith will
act as managing editor, and assign
subordinates to various fields to
gather news. Young men will also
be taught how to write headlines.
The relative value of a piece of
news to different papers, as well aa
its relative value, will receive noma
attention. There will also be some
thing in tho way of editorial writing.
The professor will think himself
successful if ho can teach his class
to get news instead of rumors.
