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.

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.
