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.

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.

DERAILED AND BURNED.
Helena, March 25. Early this morn
ing east-bound train No. 2, on the North

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

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. He was unmarried. - Wil
liams was a young man and unpopular
among his associates. He came here six
weeks ago from San Diego.

HORRORS OF SIBEAIA.
Kansas Citt, March 26. An associ

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.
He stated that Madame Tsebrikova was
a cultured Russian lady, wbo bad Ions
been known in herewn country as a tal
ented, writer. She resided in" Paris for
some time up to this year.
Kennan had a letter from ber under
date ot January 26, in which she said she
was about to send a memorial to the czar
which would probably lead to her arrest
and exile as toon as she returned to ber
native countrv. She enclosed a copy of
this memorial to Kennan, from which be
makes extracts. It does not menace the
czar, but seems to be a calm, reasonable
review of tbe existing state of things in
Russia, Coupled with an earnest appeal
lor a more uuerai policy.
In tbe letter to Kennan she says ber
mends tell her sho is foolhardy, but
sue cares not. one does not think favor
ably ot revolution and bloodshed
though she doubts not that it will some
day come, unless there is a change. It is.
however, far distant.. Tbe letter and
memorial throughout are of a high tono,
and Kenan says be desires to place them
before tne public as a refutation of the
charge of Russian oflioials that "Western
writers have idealized the nihilists beyond
an semoiance to reamy." -
