A BASELESS ASSUMPTION. F An often repeated and alleged objection to the tariff is that it enables our manufacturers of ag ricultural implements to "hold up" the American agriculturalist for excessive, prices. This i3 intended to influence American farmers to oppose pro tection," but, since it is merely a baseless assumption, it fails to do much more than to display their ignorance or the demagogism of him who makes the appeal. P The facts are we manufacture the .greatest i variety, , the best made and the greatest labor-sav--irig agricultural implements made anywhere in the world. - They are the products of American in ventive genius. "No field for the application of new discoveries, nevt ', inventions ' has " received greater attention by, and been sq alluring to : inventive - genius. This is why wej'surpass the rest of the world in the manufacture of. agricultural machinery. , We have the field, we hav the cre- nius and it would be strange if we have not excelled. But: almost every labor-saving and desiraoie agricultural ma chine involves, in its construction, the use of many of the devices of the American inventor, and he is protected in the use of these by letters patent. The manufac turer must control the use of these either by outright purchase or by paying a handsome royalty to the inventor for the use of his invention. Examine our Combined Har vester and Threshers. . They are marvels of ingenuity, perfection and simplicity. We wonder why a machine of such apparent sim plicity of device and construction should be so expensive.' It is be cause it is the product of many inventions for which the manu facturer must pay large sums. It is true that having gained con trol of these he becomes a mo nopolist, not because of our tar iff laws. 'Our copyright and- patent laws are our only monopoly creating laws. The manufacturers of agricultural implements have no' need for much, if any, protection by tariff and as a matter of fact they practically have none. If a better Harvester than we make were imported it would only pay 20 per cent ad valorem duty. But none are imported for none are made. Binding twine and the. mate rials of which it is made are on the free list. If there is a "Bind ing Twine Trust" it probably proves that free-trade is not a panacea for the evil of trusts. , It is probable our manufactur ers sell mowers, reapers and threshers which, hy reason of re cent inventions have become un salable at home, to foreign buy ers very cheap. He must be rid of them, and Americans buy only the latest improved. YET UNEXPLAINED. ' The published reminiscences of Carl Schurz and the memoirs of O. O. Howard revive something of the criticism of the battle of Chancellorsville. For all this, however, we fail to see that any new facts have been adduced upon which we may re-arrange and modify our criticism of that historic battle. Howard had been placed in command of the Eleventh corps. This was the smallest corps in the army. It was but 10,000 strong, and probably did not carry into that battle more than 9,000 men." It was composed, for the greater part, of Germans and had been in command of Siegel, in whom the men reposed great confidence. How much a change . of commanders may have af fected the morale of the corps is not known, but the boast of the men, "We. fights mit Siegel," brought the stinging retort "and rurjs mit Howard." Howard was an abler and bet ter approved soldier than either Siegel who had commanded the 1 little corps or Schurz -who evi dently thought he was best fitted to command it. Howard was" warned to be on guard against a flank movement by the Confederates. . Whea the movement was in progress and he was advised of it he refused to believe it true, and ever since the battle he has sought refuge behind Hooker's .orders. . . We cannot conceive Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, -Thomas, Logan nor even "Fighting Joe Hooker" failing to exercise their own dis cretion in such a juncture. But these were military geniuses. Had Sedgwick' with themagnifi cent Sixth corps; and other troops under his command, promptly and energeticallypushed forward, after, capturing Fredericksburg, and joined the main army at Chancellorsville, Jackson's flank ing movement would have been too dangerous a piece of tactics for that indefatigable commander to have undertaken.- But Sedg wick did not do so though it was an important part of the plan of battle. Military criticism has not yet given satisfactory explanation for the loss of this battle. It possibly can not do so because it cannot explain just why the things which made for failure should have happened. , No other battle of the war was so skilfully and scientifically planned. It was closely modeled on one of Napoleon's victorious battles. The number of troops engaged, the movements, the distances to be covered in march es, the whole strategy and even the battle tactics were in very close accord with Napoleon's un der similar conditions. When Hooker had perfected his plan it was laid before President Lincoln and his cabinet and a number of our best military men. Hooker - explained it in detail. The military men examined it carefully and critically. All linir.prl in amirnvlnor rVio nlnn nnrl it was adopted. At the closing of the conference, Hooker said . tt 1 ., "Yes, gentlemen; God Almighty himself cannot prevent" me from winning a victory." There is little or no doubt that this statement publicly made years ago and never denied is true. If so have we not found why Chancellorsville was a disas ter ? But this is not in the do main of military criticism. NEW POSTAL AW. The United States Postal De partment has made new regula tions in regard to carrying sec ond-class mail matter (such as newspapers, magazines, periodi cals, etc.) the same going into effect January 1, 1908, and allow ing publishers to April 1, 1908, to prepare their subscription' lists in accordance with the new order of things. ' The effect of the change practically compels the establishment of new relations between the publisher and sub scriber of county papers.. The department ruling requires that subscriptions entitled to the second class postage rate shall not be delinquent longer than the following periods of time : Dailies within three months. Tri-weeklies, within 6 months. Semi-weeklies, - within nine months. Weeklies, within one year. The mails are not forbidden to subscribers who are in arrears longer than the time provided in the new ruling, but these sub scribers are placed m a separate classification, requiring a higher rate of postage, the rate being so high that publishers could not afford to send papers at the price of subscription. The reason given by the gov ernment for making this order is that second class mail matter is firmed by the following letter re being carried through the mails ; ceived a few days later by Dr. at a rate for postage thereon ' Withycombe: which is less than theost of I BanksOr., Jan. 23, 1908. carriage. The Gazette has ) heretofore been liberal in giving: to its sub scribers time to pay for their sub scriptions, by paying $2.00 per year for those past due and $1.50 per annum when the same was paid in advance. Having made the " difference in the past-due and advance rate has resulted in giving the "Gazette"- a larger portion of paid , up subscribers. This rule must now be changed according to Uncle Sam's order as the newspaper has no voice in the matter. 1 The Gazette invites its patrons to settle their dues soon. WING'S PHILOSOPHY. Farmers Get Most Out of Llfe r r Other Interesting Items From OAC. Joseph E. Wing, one of the best agricultural writers in the world, in an . address at the Ore gen Agricultural College recently said :' - ' ' - "I am proud of several things that I can do. I can pack a mule; I can cut a tree -so it will fall where I want it to mostly. I can hew a plank straight; I can strike a drill all day without strik ing the other fellow; I can rig a plow so you can' bold it with the thumb and first finger; lean walk five miles an honr; and -some other things I can do I am proud of. I am ptouder of the things I have done than the things I have said. It takes more brains to rig a plow right than to do a problem in al gebra. When you learn a thing you want to do it, and the man who gets the most out of life uses his arm as well as his brain." If Mr. Wing's philosophy is right, and it undoubtedly is, then it is possible for tne farmer to get more out of life than any other class, for brains and muscle are a necessary part of the' equipment ot every good ' farm, and there is abundant opportuniny there for the employment of both. In Mr. Sbepard's talk at the Short Course he made a strong plea for the growing of Canada field peas fori swine. He said there was no better grain for feed ing hogs, not excepting corn. In tbe province 01 Ontario some l7ooo cres of peas are grown, largely ior nogs, ana tne Canada bacon is of high quality. Peas will produce stronger, Wealthier hdgs than corn, and leaner meat. The writer has seen 500 hogs suc cessfully pastured on a field of ripe peas. Peas are known as nitrogen gatherers, and if hogs were allowed to harvest them the land would very ' quickly be brought under a high state of fer tility. Why not take Mr. Shep ard's bint and grow a better ar ticle of bacon than is produced in the corn states, and with a large enough supply packing houses would be in order. Mrs. Clara H. Waldo, in her afternoon talk-before the Short Course students at' the OAC, very pointedly stated the advantages of more co-operation among the women of the farm. Many ways were mentioned in which the lot of the farmer's wife might be made happier by a little co opera tion. At one home the sewing for the neighbarbood could be done; at another the baking and at another the laundering. This plan would, greatly economize labor and give the farmer's wife a little lime for recreation or read ing, for gardening or floriculture. If the bread didn't happen to be baked. just as mother baked it, there would be the compensation that the neighbors would get to gether more and come to feel that there are other duties as well as pleasures, than the baking and eating of bread. Dr. Withycombe made an ar gument in favor of the dairy farmer keeping his own feed store. He should produce all the food : .! r m. necessary on me iarm. ine speaker stated that the 15 lbs. of vetch hay and 40 lbs, of kale is practically a (balanced ration for the cow and more profitable re sults can be secured on such a ration than to patronize the feed stores. The above view was fully con-! uear on: I received your letter and was glad to hear fiom you. Yes, I received $207 from 14 cows in . I . l 1 : ti 1 j r j Kmc muuiu ui ivccemuer ana lea th em nothing but kale, turnips and vetch hayj The man that feeds chop would havetomake $237 to clear as much as I do In the month of November I milked 11 cows the first half aud 13 the last half and received $183 on the same feed and my cows look fine. - I can't give some ot the cows all they want as they would be too fat. I haven't had a speck of mill feed in the barn all winter. " " W. H. Wilson. Wedded Yesterday. A pretty wedding took place yesterday at high noon at the home ot Mr. and Mrs. . H. Fendall, on Fifth street. The bride was their daughter, Miss Lulu, and the groom George Wilson, of Alsea. f he ceremony was performed by Rev. Davis in the presence of 30 relatives and friends. The bride was attired in a becoming costume of brown Panama and was attended by Miss Lura Flett. The grooms man was Dave Fendall, brother of the bride. The rooms were prettily decorated with ivy and roses. Following congratulations a delicious wedding dinner was served, and at 1:20 "the newly married pair left for Sheridan, where they will spend a week with relatives. They will reside on the groom's farm in Alsea Valley, where they are followed by the good wishes of many friends. " Among the guests were Mr. and Mis. E. F. Fendall and fam ily ot Newberg, - and E. H. Fen dall, the bride's father, who came out from Five Rivers to witness the ceremony. Real Estate Transfers. J. B. Horner tojohn H.' Brown, lots 13, and 14, fcleck 19, Job's addition, $1. E. W.
