The Tariff Q,ues1ion; The tariff question is one that has entered into the politics of the nation to a greater or lees extent fur the pat forty years, and it seem3 to be one of those Jssaes that.inyst , bo discussed, over and again, at every Tecurring con tezt. Keally there should be no argu mint on the subject this year in Ore gon, for both the party platforms have aiopted almost tlio 'same resolution the Albany , platform announcing that the Democrats are in favor of a tariff on imports for a revenue alonej and the Portland resolutions deolaring in favor, of a taiff for revenue, , but discrimi- .natmg in favor of domestic manufac turesj so as not to diminish its efficien cy for" the, purpose of revenue. In dis cussing " this question Democrats use Jhe argument8,Jn part, made years ago against the prohibitory tariff or a tax levied, not for the purpose of revenue, but for theLprbtedtidff of homcmanu actures. They lose sight of one im portant doctrine tf the old debaters on .1 " ' -o power to lay and collect such duties as they may dec in necessary for the pur poses or me revenue; ana wtthtn these limih so to arrange these duties a in idenj,(tlhj 1 an d td that f exten t to gi ve protection to the manuacturer. ; This the 'old doctrine, held by the advo l?ateqof.a low tariff, and isthe, policy 'announced by the Itcpublicans in Ore- gon today, so that, really . ticre is no ditTerenc between the two pnrties when Ye jrtfurros. are the index! The difference is made by the public speakers ..... , i - , . i. Mr. Hoyden,' in his ppcech here this week, as wo thought,; really made no point against the llcpublican position on thie subject, but simply held up to the odium of liis audience tho prohibit htory tariff, which question is not in is sue. He also extolled the English and French tariff laws, that levy taxss on the productions of thasoil, while ours discriminate in favor of manufacture? and mining. lie thought our system in this respect should be changed. lie did not state that tfiose nations had firmly established their factories and possessed many skilled operatives, to carry them on, and can now stand alone I or that their agriculture is the branch of industry to be encodraged. On the other hand, our farmers, possessing uew and rich soils, need no protection though our factories are the .new cuter prises to le built up. This we believe to be the true statement of facts. It is curious why Democracy shouli have such a prejudice against our man ufacturing interests when ic is admitte'd by all that a nation should have, with in its own; borders, all the elements that go to make up a perfect nation; one that should be independent in every respect of its neighbors. If Mr Hayden's indicated policy should ob tain, and the tariff on imported manu factured articles should be removed and placed upon the products of the field, we would in fact h avo no reve nue, but would be compelled to resort to a direct taxation to carry on govero ia?ntafiairs. This really is the secret de ire of the Democratic party, but it is a plan condemned by all political economists as being one particular! I 1 . i . il 1 m . . . uuruensonic 10 me - people. Jt is the well settled principle of statesmen that revenue for the support of the govern meut should be raked by that method that will least be felt by the people. and direct taxation is considered to be the most burthensome. Mr. Hayden is traveling out of the records, as the lawyers say, when ho wishes to have the tariff taken from manufacture.! ar tides and laid on the products of the soil, and he knows that not one bushel of gnin or pound of fruit is imported into the United States. He wishes to defeat the very policy that his party is in favor of, as it in its platform has an- nounccd. The Picpublican party, like the Dem ocratic, wants to raise a revenue from foreign imports, but desires that a dis crimination be made in favor of home factories, so that in case of necessity we may rely entirely upon our own re sources, having, in tho meantime, plac ed ourselves upon a firm bash and ed ucated a large class of skilled opcra tives. ' ;We think that it is a mistaken idea to suppose that, manufactured articles of consumption will be cheapened .by the removal of the tariff on imports. One instance to prove this position comes to mind : When steel rails be gan to be intro Juccd on our railroads, factories at once sprang up in the UnU ted States to supply the demand. The enterprise was a new one, and Ameri can steel rails were very expensive. The duty on that clas3 of rails was re- movod. Onr factories were at once obliged to cease operations Tho price of foreign rails at once advanced, and before a tariff could again be levied on steel rails and our tactoric3 re-commence operations, our 'railroad companies ex pended hundreds of , thousands of. dol lars more than they would have ,done if the tariff never had been . removed. Ve honestly - believe that" all this op position by Democratic orators is mere ly high sounding words, intended to captivate those who ' have never given this subject a fair and thorough inves tigation, for . if, they had, wq cannot conceive of any other conclusion to be reached than that free trade is a falsity, got up by foreigners for the purpose of making a market for their wares. .Democratic orators desire the people to ieturn Democrats to tho Legislature, because some railroad company is liable to attempt to bribe the members. Wonder if tho next Democratic Leg is. laturo will' bo any less liable to brib cay than the last one? -That story is old, and wc would thiuk that. Demo crats would bo'tho'last peFsons" to' usa1! it, especially m view ot :the past.; ' Z j assess Mr. Powell's Speech. Tl To'candidatcs fpr District lAttor ney in this District made? the - opening spevcuvH oi? mo campaign acre rasr cdndEd ay evening. Mr. Powell, .Re publican caodidatej i led off in a short pe ich, telling if' the origin bf the two parlies of tho day. lie proved that the old Democratic party died with the def?at of Mr, J: Douglas, in 18G0, and tnatthe "present Democraticparty Iwasr organized by a minority of tho old party that split joH from the true party and nominated jBreckenridge ; and that thdi present Republican party was form'cd ; in 1 SGI, under the name of Union, When these pointsj were cs tahlished, ho paid his respects to the Albany platform and gave a history of th ) passage of the celebrated- 8th reso lu ion. He provedcontlu lively that it meant repudiation, and wa? o stated in the original draft ;. but that tor pol io;,' it was changed to "equitable ad justment." That only one man in the Convention opposed repudiation be cause it was wrong. Mr. Butler's remarks were short, at d, as; his opponent afterwards said, wire excellent considering the material h6 had to work upon. The speech was one "of the olden typo, where the eale I , i ... s iars, ana soars, and and, lit on Dad s wpod-pilc. tqentb and He denounced the Thir Fourtcen th A me nd men ts, ajid the tariff, thus kicking over the 1 6th resolution of the Albany platform. Ie opposed tho banking law, the pre miums given to inventors, and desired le people to cut loose fron party and cast their votes for measures and men lat they conceived to be right. Mr. Powell, in a short reply, made excellent points, explaining the bank- ijig system and proving conclusively that a tajjiff that incidentally protect home manufactures is. what the nation must have to insure prosperity, and fiat it was to the interest of every farmer to , have these factories, ihat a home market for his products may be established j Mr. Powell's remarks were temper ate, reasonable aud candid, and mre food for thought, calculated to lend the masses out into the broid field of in vestigation, where seeing the rirli? they will dare do it. The Herald aud Repudiation. The Herald is out for the Fay con struction of the 8th resolution of the Albany platform, and in answer to an argument, made by the Oregon iun, to to the effect that the-repudiation of the debt would annihilate two thousaikl millions of property, makes use of the fallowing argument to sustain his rc pudiatlon sentiments: When a proposition to destroy sev eral hundred millions of slave property in the South by an emancipation nroc- i.tmauon, was urst .advanced, nianraa- pers on the Democratic nie predicted that all sorts of convulsions would re suit, andjthat peneral disorder and ruin would bej entailed. The proclamation was, however, issued, and at one swoop moro than two thousand millions of values were wiped out of existence. iNow, while tho results of this policy wero serious, they did not entail the extent of ruin and misery upon the country that was predicted. Our pur- .it...i: i.. ii f. .! i ' . ju in uiiumu iu mis ojj niairca just now is to exhibit the similarity of the prophecies made in regard to the abo lition of slavery, with those uttered now by the Radical papers in recard to the equitable adjustment of the public debt. : ' - 1 : When! the emancipation proclama tion was made it was a necessity of warv and one that had to bo made to save tho life of the country. Again, negroes cro not money ; tbey were not destroyed, but the ownership of them wa3 only transferred from the former masters to the negroes them selves.. .-' ; .. The wcalth'of a nation lies in three hings the amount of money or prop erty, the number of laborers and the incentive to work. It makes no differ, ence how often capital changes owners so that it, is, not destroyed or taken fromthe country. The argument of the Herald is fallacious, and tho propo sition to repud iat e the whole or any part of ; the natienal debt is not a par allel case with the emancipation of the negroes. The number of laborers was not diminished ; by the order scttin them free. but. on MiA"ntfimi t,n.,,i i,A incentive impelling them to labor 'was greater han before, and the nati. nation was really. enriched thereby. On the other hand" the Jferald, by its repudiation doctrine, proposes to annihilate a large portion of the capital of the United States now used in trade. The result wo-uU be impoverishment and would be felt to the remotest corners of the Republic. Political Xotee. Says the Orecjonian: Ta spite of all assaults' by f'ictionists upon Presi dent Grant, his Administration at this mom3nt stands higher in the esteem of people of all classes than ever before. Demagogues may think to de ceive, but the people recognize in Pres ident Grant's Administration the great jpowcr which has restored peace and Hiarmdny and placed the country on the high road to prosperity Were the flection of a President to take place now, Gen. Grant would go in again by a larger vote than before;- and if he lives there is no power that can pre vent his re-election iu 1872. A fiercefand bitter war is raging be tween the Albany Democrat and the Herald. The former paper has the best of the argument, as this extract proves: Again, the article says : "Ry repu diating the terms of their contract the bondholders have 'invited an ivestiga tion into their affiirs;" and "the Dem ocratic party,, looking to the interests of the people, joined issue on the neio plea and advanced the equitable adjust ment system as a successor to the prop osition to pay greenbacks," and "we will cause your affairs to be adjusted according to the rules of equity." Now, in the name of cnninon sense, if fhe bondholder is the plaintiff, demanding coin for his bonds, how can he, as a matter of law, enter "a new plea," or any other kind-offa plea in the prem ies? Defendants, rift pliimiff, file plea?, in a court of law. lint suppose n plaint iff could file "a new plea," how is it that the dt fi ndant goes at "once into, equity? Was there ever Fuch a transition heard of in a eowrt of law ? The rule h that .o long as a man" has a legal remedy he cannot go into equity at all. Then how can there bo an "equitable adjustment," a the 7era?d undcrtand it, long as the boudhold cr has an action at law? The New Vork Times, a paper which U prorcrbiully moderate and careful in all its statement, considers the fulject of internal improvements in an ajtie!e from which the. following is an extract : The fact U indisputable that the ap propriation of large portions of . the puhlio domain lor the encouragement of railroads htn resulted in tho vast iron network which 'is one of the mar rls of dho Wcst. Thousands of mile? of railroads have been constructed, which, but for the Government grant had been impossible; and thousandsof miles are now in progress .with land grants as the foundation of their flnan eial operations. The effect upon the newer States and Territories is pro aigious. Their settlement is greatly facilitated and hastened. The develop ment of their resources proceeds ' at a pace lhat has no parallel. The value of their products and the comfort of thjdx-pcople are enhanced. And the (government is amply repaid . for it? bounty by the marketable value which is imparted to adjacent portions of the unsold domain, and by the, addition whiclj the rapid growth of the States makes to the revenue. Thus, what at the ontfet seemed to be inexcusable prodigality is shown by events to have been tha highest wbdum. The gain to the country far exceeds its les. Instead of making war upon the sys tem, then, and rejecting all applica tions for fresh or further grants, '.it would seem to be the duty of Congress to discriminate between applicants, and to surround new grants with the guar antees against abuse which experience has shown to be feasible and necessarv. There arc railroad ; projects of great national importance, which trust re main in abeyanco uuless Congress ex tend them assistance. In Mr. Butler's speech, last Wed nesday night, he laid down the broad doctrine that, tho people could do no wrong in their collective governmental capacity. ? In speaking of tho Four teenth Amendment, ho said it toot away tho liberties of the people, and was a great wrong. Inasmuch as the people adopted that" amendment, Mr. IJ.'s position istims stated. The people has takon something from the people that the people could cot take. r Democrats affect to be much alarmed lest an amendment should, be made to the State Constitution, allowing tho State to go into debt in a greater sum than $50,000. Considering that no amendment to the Constitution can bo made in Jess than four years, it is evi dent that the people will have ample lime to consider them after they are NEW AD VFRTISEMEXTS. - ' " 1 '" 1 ''"", Faniiers AUcnUon ! flUIE UNDEnsrONED HAVING HAD JL nearly twenty years' practice in making wagons in Oregon, wo feel confident we can do as good work as can bo had in any part of the State..
