SATURDAY MARCH 29. 1890 RESULTS OF PROTECTION. There is a serious disagreement be tween the practical and the theoretical free-trader, says the S. F. Chronicle. The latter is constantly assuring peo ple that the tendency of protection is to repress production, and that the United States can never become an exporter of manufactured products on a large scale until it adopts the free trad policy. He points triumphantly at our table of exports, and asks ns to contrast its figures with those of Great Britain. But he fails to note the fact that ail our energies ere taxed to sup ply the demand of a rapidly increasing home market, and to draw from it the sensible inference that we are not ex porting, because we do not need to do 8a In other words he is too obtuse to perceive that nations, like individuals, do not go abroad to find customers when they have them at their doors. If the theoretical free-trader is be fogged on this point his practical brother is not. By a practical free trader we mean an Englishman who recogoizi's that his country has gained such headway in the business of man ufacturing many articles that no pro tection is needed. Free-traders of this kind sometimes -see with great clear ness of vision the effects of protection, and not having any theories to har monize they speak the truth as they understand it Among these practical free-traders we may include the editor of the Iron and Coal Trades' Review of London, a British publication rec ognized as authority when the prod' nets named in its title are under dis cussion. In a recent number of this English journal we find an article on American iron which will probably astonish some - of our theoretical free-traders.' The writer says: A dozen years ago the production of pip iron in the United States was only about 2,500,000 tons as against 6,300,000 tons produced by Great Britain; now America has become almost as great a producers of pig iron as ourselves, for our own output lost year was under 8,000,000 tons the largest on record and it can onlv be a question of time when she will outstrip us in the production oi crude iron, as she has already outstripped us in the production of Bessemer steeL The rate at which the iron industry has developed during the last de cade in the United States is unparalleled in the history of modern industrial develop ment, and that the progress thus made is destined to continue for many yearn to come perhaps in an even greater ratio is shown by the large number of metallurgical enterprises which are now coming into ex istence in the Southern States. r'ere is unequivocal testimony that protection has not repressed the iron industry, for the admission is candidly made that, we will shortly outstrip . Great Britain in its prodnction. The writer, too, does not fhare the free trade theorist's opinion that protection will prove an obstacle to the businees of exporting iron and its products, for . in the next paragraph he distinctly af firms that exports must follow as a re sult of protection. Here is his lan guage: . . At this marvelous rate of progress, and fostered as the industry is by a rigid sys tem of protection, it would be strange if America were not in a position soon to sap ply all her own wants in the matter of pig iron. Indeed, she will be able to do very much more, and it cannot be doubted that at no distant date we shall have to compete with American iron in markets which we are now apt to regard as almost exclusively our own. That is the plain lesson of the present vast expansion of the American iron industry. Hot only does the free-trader admit that protection has wonderfully stimu lated prodnction, and that it will re sult in an export trade; he has also discerned that it has cheapened the process of manufacturing to such an extent that even with the advantage of low priced labor which England en joys she cannot long successfully com pete with us. This is the way he ex presses that idea: Americana are not only greatly improv ing, but reducing the cost of their processes of manufacture, and that, although wages are still considerably lower here than in the United States, thi s advantage, for the rea son mentioned, is not so great as it may seem. We are, therefore, forced to con clude that, just as in trie case of crude iron, steel and certain descriptions ot manufact ured iron, the United States will shortly be completely independent of ns in other re spects. That market valuable as it un doubtedly was but a few years since is be coming of less importance to us day by day. We do not fancy that the logic of facts will' be accepted by our college professors as more conclusive than the beautiful theories of. the text-books, but common sense people will . be apt to think that American statesmen were justified in adopting the protective system . when the results which the Iro- and Coal Trades' Review . pre dicts shall have been reached, as they will be at no distant day. There has been a little wrangle in the Republican party in Portland be tween two factions, one led by 'Joseph Simon, the professional politician and wire-puller, and the other, by James Lotan. The county committee con sists of seven members, and by reason of tho death of Hon. Marion F. Mul key a vacancy - has occurred. -Mr. Simon has desired to name the man and Mr. Lotan has been actuated by the same wish; but the 'voles stood three for" Simon's man aud' three for Lotan's. The county committee met yesterday afternoon and Lotan handed in twenty-five names, either of whom would satisfy . him. : Mr. Carson, J a Simon's lieutenant, chose A. H. Tan ner as committeeman, and harmony prevailed. We are sorry that the Re publican party has such a boss as this man Simon, and we would almost be willing to suffer defeat to down him forever. If such politicians never con trolled the organization it would enter .nearly every campaign a solid phalanx, and b) almost certain of victory. As it has been for the past lew years, the tat has dona .homage politically to I Portland, and Jo. Simon has dealt out the crumbs to cringing supplicants as it suited his inclinations. This can not last much longer, and if Portland and Jo. Simon attempts to control the politics of the state hereafter there will be such a falling off in the Re publican vote of Western Oregon that the bosses will be engulfed in the ruins of tl.e structure raised by their own hand?. The people of The Dillfs should not be disappointed if thrt bills for the boat-railway and for the public build ing iu this city are d-.'fnattil in the house. There may be txpcled a lib fral appropriation for the locks at the Caricade?; but the way the work has been carried on for the past few years little progress will be made towards completion. If the present generation sees an open river by mrans of the proposed canal and locks very many wiil bi dieappoiuted, and if our merchants are interested in the project, the best plan for them to adopt is to organ:zj a People's Transportation Company. If $3000 a year could be raised for fiariug advertisements, we believe fear times the amount would be pledged to place boats on the mid dle Columbia; and especially so when the fact is known that more than the auiount would be saved every year in freight rates. If The Dalles expects to grow and prosper in the future, she must not depend upon government aid and outside capital to help her in her onward march, for she has sufficient wealth of her own to develope her re sources. We can rest satisfied that nothing can be done in railroad matters this suinmer, and Uiis should impel our citizens to open the river by means of a line of opposition boats. This is perfectly feasible, and if we commence work in earnest by the time the wool clip is ready to move there will be boats on the river to do the carrying trade. The inauguration of such an enterprise will show to the people out side that we are alive to our own in terests, and outside capital will invest their money in The Dalles with greater confidence. However much wa may boom the town by flaring advertise ments, it will r.ot do one-tenth tie amount of peroianent good as that of arousing our. own dormant energies. At the last meeting of the board of trade it was stated by leading capital ists that railroads could Lot be built by local capital, and if that is a fac, let thi business men do what they can for their own salvation, and the most available enterprise is a People's Transportation Company on the mid dle Columbia.' It is time our people were prepar ing to receive the immigration of the coming spring and summer, and to do this properly manufacturing industries should be commenced to give employ ment to home-seekers. It we receive an accession of 1000 during this year we should have something for them to do; for all will not be capitalists. Of course, we might induce them to sett among us, and sell them land; but it would be much more encouraging if wj had work for the honest and in dustrious, as well as town lots for the wealthy. We do not want the lazy and shiftless; for every town on the coast have as many as they desire of these now; but the honest and thrifty, however poor, we should welcome, we must stir all our latent energies, start lactones, and indicate that we are awake ourselves if we desire to sttract the desirable class cf im grants who are coming west. Mr. Henninn is working hard to make the appropriation for the boat railway a special measure, and to this end has united with congreesmen from other states to further similar plans. With the amount asked and placed in the River and Harbor bill, other im portant interests in Oregon would suf fer. By the plan adopted it can be passed as a separate hill, and other congressmen, having similar measures, will aid Mr. Hermann in procuring an apprporiation for a boat railway. The estsmate of the engineers was for three millions, but Mr. Hermann thinks he will have more chances of success if this is reduced to one mill ion. We have never had a more ard uous and indefatiguablo worker for our interests than Mr. Hermann, and if he is successful in the plan he has adopted l:e will be entitled to a great deal of credit. The Democracy always becomes very tender towards the laboring classes as election - time approaches. and tho words of Democratic orators during- election campaigns are very mellifluous and flow as quietly and as calmly as a rivulet. Our attention was called to this fact in looking over our exchanger; for tbos? of the Bour bon persuasion, without exception, make loud and long complaints against the "robner tariff," and never tira cf talking of the sufferings of the oppres sion of poor by corporations. This talk is simply bait thrown into the pool of politics to catch votes. Next June will repeat the lesson of two years ago, and will demonstrate the fact that the electors think for themselves, and act as their judgment dictates. Gen. Crock, who died in Chicago last Friday, was one of the most suc cessful Indian fighters in the country, He was the only general who quieted the troubles in this country in early days, and was feared by the aborigines as much as he was respected by his fellow citizens and soldiers. For many years he commanded . the U. S. forces employed against the Snakes in this and Grant counties, and was finally instrumental in driving these murder ous savages out of Eastern Oregon, and opening np our rich lands to set. tlement. , If the good are the salt of the earth, certain portions of the world need sea- soning very much. EASTERN OREGON. An item in Wednesday's Oregonian, evidently the result of an interview by a reporter, makes many misstatement In such expressions as "The Dalles is pretty near to Portland after all,' "Eastern Oregon proper," that there is a "disinclination to support Moody,' "Hood River had the speakership of tie Ir st house and The Dalles tho United States district attorneyship. we can readily hear the intonations of Sir. J. C. L;;asure. who. because he did not secure the prize for which strenuously worked the United Slates district attorneyship appears to wa a bitter war against Hie Ualles an surrounding country. The appointm?u of Sir. Mays as district attorney or elec tion of Mr. S uith as speaker of the leg iidature cannot be counted to the credit of this ci:y or Eastern Oregon in apportioning candidates at the comin election, and as for The Dalles bein considered a suburb of Portland, we can with moro reason call Pendleton precinct of Walla Walla. We do not know why this portion of the state should be satisfied with one or two candidates, and believe we are entitled to more. If the counties east of the Cascades are satisfied with what Portland and the ring desire to give them they will receive very little; but if the area and Republican majorities are taken as bases for favors Wasco county should be second in the list. Eistern Oreeoa has never fur nished but one senator and one mem ber of congress, while Portland and Western Oregon have been almost con tinuously represented at Washington City. vv e do not believe in quietly submitting to any plan that Portland may adopt, and when tin stale convention meets we shall cope that the delegates east of the Cascades will demand Recognition of their rights in the apportionment of candidates on the ticket. A Democratic exchange talks to the farmers in this way: "If the farmers wish to do themselves or their country any good,"they will, with one voice de mand two things. First, the reduction of monopoly duties on the necessarif of lis!, and second; the transfer to th free life of every article which has been made the subject of a trust. Our considerate brother forgets the sugar-planters of Louisiana and Miss issippi when he demands the reduction of duties on the necessaries of life. Such action would drive these earnest Bourbons awav from the fold. As re gards the transfer to the free list of all articles in the sale of which trusts have been formed, the worst we have to day is Standard oil.aud it has never been protected. Is sugar were placed on the free list to morrow, the refiners would form a monopoly, and keep up the prices as they now ere. England is one of the brightest examples of free trade, and there are as many trusts in Great Britain as in America, The Democrats are very anxious to prove themselves in harmony with the laboring classes or the coun try, and especially the farm ers; but the history of the coun try proves they favored slave labor in the south, made 'he most distinctive caste rule in one portion of the United States, and when the homestead bill was before congress fought it to the bitter end. Only for political pur poses do the Democrats desire to affil fate with the working classes, and when they have secured their votes they have no farther use for them Anything to beat the Republican party and secure positions at the public crib, is the motto, and to accomplish this any means will be considered justi fiable. Hon. Binger Herman has a difficult task before him in the lower house of congress. The eyes of Eastern Ore gon are snxiously watching him re garding the appropriations, and he has a host with whom to contend. The east is almost solid against the River and Harbor bill or special measures for the expenditure of revenue, and with out Mr. Hermann unites with the west and south he will not be success ful. In the senate Oregon is equal to the most populous state; but in the house she has only the roinuium of representation one while New York, Pennsylvania and the eastern states have from 34 to 20 each. During the past year the machinery for woolen mills havs been purchased by the cities of Salem and Albany, and tney will both lie in running opi r atcn t'sis summer. The Dalles han dles more wool directly from produc ers than any city in the United States and this should be a great inducement 'or a factory. If a woolen mill were es tablished in this city, it would receive a large portion of the clip of the In land Empire, and the amount of money which this would send in cir culation would be considerable and the enterprise would be a great factor of development Little would be known of the third party movement if . Democratic papers were not so eager to spread broadcast the proceedings of very convention held by these malcontents. The ob ject is easily discernible. Every new party will attract more from the Rt publican ranks than from the Demo cratic, and every disintegrating force is applauded by those in the minority, hoping thereby to grasp victory from the jaws of defeat. The Louisiana lottery received t black eye in the North Dakota legisla ture; but the hard working citizens will spend a great portion of their earnings buying tickets in the great humbug. We are not . aware if Ed ward Bellamy, in his ideal state, in terspersed a few fools and scoundrels among the pre-eminently good and wise men of the year 2000 .. The McKinley tariff measure is un satisfactory, and it will . not surprise any one if it shares the late of the Morrison or Mills bills. There is not a community in any portion of the country but desires special protection for some local industry. It would cot be a reduction of the tariff if these wibhes were acceeded to, and the statesman has to carefully discriminate in the matter. While selfish interests are at stake, there will be diverse opinions on any tariff mpasure which may bo introduced in congress. It appears strange that two persons in Portland should have ihe success or defeat of the Republican party under their dictation, end thebo men are Joseph Simon and Jamrs Lotan. If they unite and act in harmony dur ing the approaching campaign the state will bo Republican several thousand; if not, victory may be ex pected to perch upon the banners of Democracy. This state of affairs is greatly to be deplored; but it cannot be remedied while the present plans are followed in politics. Our board of trade should take sufli cient interest in the matter of the erection of a public building to collect statistics of our population, and the amount of mail matter distributed at this point. This would be a great help to Mr. Hermann in securiug the passage of the bill. We need such a structure equally as much as Salem, or as Portland does another building or the coast lighthouses. We n.ust make our wants known if we expect to re ceive recognition at Washington. It is not surprising that Democrats Bhould feel a sympathetic chord in their being towards the new party. It is not so many years ago since they ad vocated the payment of the national debt in greenbacks-in other" words repudiation and was quite in love with the "rag baby." A party who has not had a national principle for twenty-five years is well adapted to flirt with every new ism which may emanate from the fertile fields of fancy. A most disgraceful scene was en acted in the Washington legislatur Tuesday, in which, during a quarrel, Assistant Sergeant Ehman struck Brown, of Spokane Falls, three times, the last blow breaking his nose. When our eastern neighbors read the account of this little unpleasantness in the leg- is'uture of Washington, their ideas of the wild and woolly west will be not very complimentary. It does not appear to be all harmony between Simon and Lotan, notwith standing the compromise, and the primaries will undoubtedly be in teresting. If the Republican party in the state were not liable to suffer from this fight of the Portland bosses, we should desire that the quarrel would result after the style of the Kilkenny cats. It is intimated in the Oregonian Wednesday that Mr. Hermann may be a candidate for governor. This will be news to many, and will not receive much credence, as it is generally un derstood that the gentleman would rather remain in Washington City for two more years than take' up his residence in Salem for the next four. It is encouraging to young ladies to know that frosts have not destroyed the orange blossoms in Florida; but a greater calamity than this has hap pened in the shortage of the gum crop. If a failure of both of these crops had occurred it would have been a terrible calamity. Prince Bismarck has bid good-bye to Berlin and has retired to private life..

Evansville, Iod., March 25. Pro fessor Owens, the well known scientist, was fatally, and A. H. Fretagoet serious ly poisoned last night by taking a drink from a bottle supposed to contain mineral water, but which really was embalming fluid. Prof. Owen was one of fnnr sons ot the Scotch philanthropist, Hubert Owen, known all over the wr-rld for his learning and benevolence. Prof. Owen's brothers, David Dale, the eminent geologist, and Kobeit Dale, the statesman and scholar, were also of world wide reputation. Prof. Richard Owen was celebrated as a scholar, scientist and soldier. He was born in St-otluud and educated abroad, afterwards coming to this country. Alter serving in the United States geological survey be became a captain in the Mexican war. He was lifter wards state geologist for In diana and professor in Blooruington uni versity.

Search of his house revealed thousands of dollars worth of jewelry, money and plate hid in the cellar. Tuthill and his prelty wife are in jail. His former friends think he ia the captain of a robber band and that his wife wag a trusted lieutenant. Tbey were both highly respected in Moniclairc and good church members. DERAILED AND BURNED. Helena, March 25. Early this morn ing east-bound train No. 2, on the North ern Pacific, consisting of ten coat hes, was derailed at Naxoo, six miles east of the laalio line. The disaster was caused by a broken culvert, over which No. 1 bad safely passed a few minutes before. The mail, express, baggage, two colonial sleepers, two second and one first class coach fell over the embankment, while tl.e dining-car and two first-class sleepers remained on the rails. The wrecked cars caught fire and were soon destroyed. Engine 433 was badly dmaged, and the water tank turned up side down. Two tramps who were riding under the cars were instantly killed, and Express Mestenger Charles Miles lost his lite by being caught in irons between the cars wbile making his escape. When the cars piled upon each other a fire broke out and the messenger was burned to death. The mail and express matter were con sumed in the flames, and are a total loss. One-half of the baggage was saved. Six persons were injured, none serious1?. A wreckage train was sent from this city and the road was reported clear last night. Later. A dispatch received from Mi.-sou!a at 11 o'clock states that five people were killed in the Naxon disaster. No names are given except that of the express messenger. A MURDER LAID BARE. Astoria, March 25. The mysterious disappearance cf JensF. Fredricksoo and wile from their borne near South Bend, Wash., which has been puzzling ibe people of that vicinity since the 1st ot February, seem likely to be cleared up very soon. That the couple met death by foul play seems well established, and the busy neighbors and officers, who have been working up clues for nearly two months, have now. reached a point where the law has stepped In to claim and punish the guilty parties. The history of the case goes back to a time, some years ago, when three men filed on a claim of 160 acres adjoining the fine farm of Rose, who keeps a hotel at South Bend, Pacific county, Wash. In a short time these men, who were ignorant foreigners, abandoned the land because of serious threats made spamst them. After ward some interested persons claimed the land, but did not enter it regularly These men were supposed to be acting in behalf of Rose, who wanted the land for bis son George, not yet of age, therefore not quauhed to take and hold a claim Jens F. Fredrickson made a regular filing on the claim, and about two months ago filed a notice of contest in the land office, which was set for besring February 24 At this point one Jack Edward?, employed as cook in Knse a Lotel, turns up. Kose and Edwards have been arrested, and a man by the name of Johnson, at Astoria, is being enadoweu by the po - lice. lrtJRDEK AT PORT BLAKELET. Seattle, March 25. Fred Freeman, head tallyman of the Port Blakeley saw mill, was struck on the bead with a gas pipe yesterday afternoon by J. C. Wil liams, an employe cr the mill, and died this morning at Providence hospital, in this city from the effects of the blow. Williams was arrested, brought to this city and locked up, as the feeling is very strong against him in Port Blakely aud lynching was feared. ' Williams and Freeman becamo involved io a quarrel over where some lumber should be placed, and Freeman called Williams bard names, whereupon the latter picked up a gas-pipe and struck him on the back of the bead, crushing the skull. The coronet's in -quest was held this afternoon, but no verdict rendered. It wiil be continued to morrow. Freeman has been a resident of the Sound over twenty years, and was highly respected.

Dispatches from those counties in Kansas which were devastated by prairie fires Sunday and Monday report the fires subdued. The number of tanners included in the fire U about fifty-two, and the number of houses, with surro-jnding barns and sheds, about the same. Not a single human fife was lost, so far as reported. The loss ot live stock was not heavy, but great quantries ot farm produce was uestrnyed. The total loss is estimated at a quaiter of a million. Growing wheal is reported to have escaped all damage. The greatest of the tires was the one which swept over Rooks and Phillips counties. It devastated fully 25,000 square miles. CHINESE ALLIANCE WITH ENGLAND, London, March, 25.

HORRORS OF SIBEAIA. Kansas Citt, March 26. An associ ated Press dispatch 'rom St. Pctesburg this morning stated that Madame Mary Tsebrikova bad been arrested for sending a personal letter to the czar, and would probably be exiled to Siberia. It was said that the Russian authoities intimated that this letter threatened the czar with the fate of bis father unless he modified bis reactionary policy. George Kennau was seen by an Asso ciated Press reporter to-day, regaiding the matter, and told an interesting story.
