SUCCESS ALWAYS SUCCEEDS.
The Democrats attempt to support
their doctrine of free-trade by a
manner of subterfuges, and it is some
what amusing to read some of the ar
cu merits broduced. The saym" that
the tariff ia a tax upon the consumer
has become, stereotyped, and the party
appears to believe that the repetition
of this answers the lack of proof. Bu
it is nevertheless- absolutely false, as
ican be easily proved by reference to a
dozen imported article?, on which
'there is heavy duty, and which are man
utactured cbeaper here tban tne selling
- price in the foreign country. Of
course, the tariff in such instances, en
courages home industries, gives em
ployment to laborers, and, instead of
being, a tax on' the consumer, is a
' direct benefit to the poorer clus-wts of
the United States. Without prutec
' tion, the republic to day would be
dependent on European countries for
many of the conveniences and nrcessi-
ties of life, and the drain of coin
.would be - much 'larger than it is.
The principles of the American policy
are easily understood, and appeals
to the ; patriotism of." every citizen;
" They are the simple rules whi;h every
' intelligent man puts into practice in
hi own business, and without which
. there would be no attractions towards
family or country.' But, as has often
been stated, the test of experience is
i . -the
only one that can be applied lo any
- industrial policy. The rule of busi-
ness can be laid down b the young
man starting in mercantile pursuits
iAt, whether he will be successful in
accumulating a competence, amid the
- varying vicissitudes to which business
life is subject, can only be. ascertained
by actual experiment. The same is
true of every rule of political economy,
, and is as applicable to nations ., as to
individuals. When the United States
assumed her position in the family of
' nations, she begun. life on a protective
- policy, and during an eventful history
of over a century her most successful
. epochs, in a financial sense, have been
. those when the heavier duties were
imposed on foreign imports. When
, the Morril tariff law was passed -by
congress, a terrible financial depression
was prevalent. The south wasn
rebellion, credit abroad had depre
1 ciated, and an army, bad to be fed
from a depleted treasury; During the
past quarter of a century, by pursuing
a protective 'policy, these difficulties
have ' been overcome, the national
.' credit established by the payment of
the public debt as it became due, and
an era . of .' prosperity enjoyed by the
people never before realized. 'It is
. not worth the time to argue this
question on minor matters. The logic
of events, ' which are indisputable,
have proved protection the most suc
cessful policy for this nation, and
f nothing succeeds like success." v

TARIFF LOGIC.
Guod roads are anecessity in every
community, and the amount granted
by the county court to-day for the im
provment of the grade up 'f ygh hill
will receive the endorsement of every
citiz-n who takes an interest in the
welfare of Was-co county. The region
of country east of Tygh creek is di
rectly tributary to The Dalles, and
producers should be furnished with a
good thoroughfare to market. In the
columns of the Times-Mountaineer
for long years we have impressed upon
the minds of officials the importance
of good thoroughf ires from the interior
to The Dllen, and .believe that if this
matter had received attention long
ago, 'his city would bave retained the
trade of portions of the county which
have , gone elsewhere. There should
not be .the least hesitancy, when a
farming 'community desires 2, road to
market, in granting their request.
By so doing a city attracts business,
and for every dollar expended will re-r
ceive a hundred in return. The fer
tility of the soil is of little benefit to
the farmer if- he has no available
means of getting his produce to mark
et, and those who expect to receive
his trade should be generous in mak
ing the highways eafe and convenient
for travel.
There is no doubt that the doctrine
of.protection is growing in the west,
r.d Democracy, while it favors free-
trade, will lose votes in this portion of
the United - States. The following
from the Pomeroy Independent, edited
by Mr. Mayes, a southern Democrat,
is significant that that party is chant
ing its basis on this economic question
Protection is the watchword. Every
farmer and all laborers should be pro
tectionists, lnat is, they should
always vote to protect themselves and
let other folks do the same. It is the
height of foolishness for any voter in
Garfield county or the state of Wash
ington to cast his vote for protection
of some fellow in the east. That
fellow in the east will vote for him
self and against the laborer out here
every time. Good sense and sound
judgment would dictate to every voter
to cast his ballot in his own individual
interest. That is the only way he can
do and be a freeman and not it slave
to .money sharks and plutocrats.
Hear wbat we say and be a man in
voting tor the interest of . Garfield
county. '
The Democratic party has outlined
the tariff as its work for this week in
congress, and the time will be spent in
attempting to prove that the ad mis
sion of the product of English looms
is beneficial to citizens of the United

,very difficult, ibis is a presidential
year, and ' the least mistake will be
fatal' to the prospects of their" candi
dates, and' for this reason they are
actiag with great caution. 1 But how
ever careful : they may be in their
actions, the people are aware of their
position on these vital issues, and that
is free-trade regarding our industries
and unlimited silver as a circulating
medium. : On this' platform1 the De
mocracy will go before the country,
and it is safe to state that thev will
meet with overwhelming defeat.
The Democratic party will attempt
all manner of sophistries to overcome
the successful results of the protective
policy in their eagerness to inaugurate
British free-trade in this country; but
the facts cannot bo controverted,
However paradoxical it may appear to
Democrats, protection protects, and, in
many instances'; has decreased the price
of manufactured fabrics, while, at the
same time, it has enhanced the price
of American labor. Without the duty
on foreign imports, Americau manu
factures would not have come into ex-
istence; but, after once being inaug
urated, the spirit of competition has
been such that articles have been
placed oa the market at the minimum
price. Our Democratic citizens may
ask the question, why would not this
state of affairs exist under free-trade?
For the simple reason that the child
walks before he runs, and that a na
tion has to begin at the A B C of in
dustrial life before it can exist inde
pendently of foreign help. If, when
the United States first assume-d her
position as a nation, she gave no pro
tection to home industries, the people
would have looked to Great Britain
for every article of wearing apparel
and implement of agriculture, and
would have so continued. Protection
built up a home market, and said to
foreign countries, "Hands off, until
we can stand alone."
In the British parliament, on the
Oregon question, we believe, in 1848,
Sir James Fox, a member of the
House of Lords, stated, in substance, it
made little difference to the British
empire where the boundary line was
established. If free trade could be in
augurated in the United States every
coat. , worn by Americans irom tne
Pacific to the Atlantic would be an in
signia of British conquest, and every
plow or harrow used in the cultivation
of the soil would render tribute to
Birmingham and Sheffield, and not to
the New England or Middle States.
Continuing further, he -aid, "give ua
free trade in America for a few years
and we will throttle and destroy every
industry in tho republic, by the sur
plus products of our looms, and after
that is accomplished Americans must
pay us onr own price for the conve
Lnieoces of life." Protection has saved
the industries of this country from
this destruction, and, by keeping out
the product of foreign pauper labor
has given our own citizsns an opportu
nity, to build up factories, improve
machinery, and to study practically
the economics of industrial develop
ment. The American policy has given
an impetus to capital to bring in
to practical use our diversified natural
resources, give employment to labor,
and make the country self-supporting.
In many instances, by reason
of competition and improved machin
ery, the price of the manufactured
article has been lowered to
less than that in foreign countries.
Of course, those who desire to wear
French or Euglisb goods in preference
to American must pay 'the import
duty; but patriotic citizens are not
taxed f in this regard. - - This is
the simple solution of the apparent
inconsistencies in the result of the pro
tective policy in the United States,
and in this, as in other matters of a
business nature as we said in a pre
vious article "nothing succeeds like
success.' '
defendant and respondent, and it may
be exprcte 1 that the title to the rich
lands through which this road passes
will be decreed in the company and
those holding under it. If the de
cision is rendered in the same manner
as the one mentioned it will quiet the
title to a large area; while, if the lower
court is reversed it will work
very great hardship to many innocent
purchasers.
THE PRIMARY LAW.
Hon. Binger Herruaun appears to
be very hopeful that government
work at the locks will be changed to
the contract system, to be finished
within the next two years, and also
that an appropriation will be made for
a portage, road around the obstructions
above this city. If the expectations
of Mr. Hermann are realized, the In
land Empire will make rapid strides
toward development, and the growth
and prosperity of this region in the
future is fullv assured. While we do
j
not doubt the earnest work which has
been and is being done by our repre
sentatives in congress, yet realizing thw
opposition from the east and middle
s'ates to any large appropriations in
the River and Harbor bill, we do not
anticipate any such good fortune as
that implied in Mr. Hermann's dis
patch. .
Astoria is to have a railroad, and
this time it appears certain that the,
matter will not " die a-bornin " as it
did on previous occasions. That the
Columbia river is the great commercial
outlet for the Inland Empire cannot
be questioned, and that the city at the
mouth has superior natural advantages
as a seaport to points in the interior is
also beyond question. With a rail
road to the Willamette valley, the
grain export will 'seek the point near
est the ocean, and this will undoubt
edly impel the growth of Astoria be
yond anything which has happened
heretofore. Portfand will always re
main a large and prosperous city the
metropolis of the northwest; but this
is no reason why there should not be
a large and thriving seaport in Oregon
at tidewater.
The dispatches from London are
some --hat belligerent on the Bebring
sea question, and, as indicated, the
tories are attempting to do something
which will make them popular with
the peopla A war between these two
English-speaking peoples would be
very deplorable, and should be avoided
by every honorable means; but the
United States have ' certain rights
which must be maintained at all
hazards. .The right to the seal fishery
off the northwest coast of the continent
wasx purchased from Russia, and our
navy should protect these seals from
total destruction, even by Great Brit
ain or any of her colonies. Peace is
desirable; but if the emergency arise
the dignity of the country should be
maintained by a resort to arms. .
. ine .Democrats can bave no reason
to complain of the Associated Press
regarding the report of the tariff de
bate in ' the lower house of congress.
Democratic speeches have been given
nearly in full, while Republican re
joinders bave only received very
little mention. We have no fear tha
tbe party of protection can not ably
defend its position, and tbe Congres
sional Record, which will- publish the
debate in full, will do honor, to the
champions of the American policy.
If Mr. Salisbury will not admit the
modus vivendi to be in operation, and
the seals to be protected from slaughter
until the question of an open or closed
Behring sea is settled by arbitration,
it is feared thete animals will be so
far destroyed by poachers, that. the seal
industry will be of little benefit to
either , the United States or the Do
minion. It is difficult to understand
why such a careful statesman as the
premier of Great Britain should take
such a position, and it is conjectured
that he has been' misstated in the dis
patches. It may be many months
before the commissioners of the two
countries will -..bave arrived at an
agreement, and in- the meantime tbe
interests of all concerned demand that
the sealing grounds should be pro
tected.
TELEGEAPHIO HEWS.

ignored too much in our electoral
system, and it is a matter for congrat

senators by a popular vote. Conven

methods concocted by politicians

The Republican party has succeeded
in cementing the union -ot tbe states
and establishing , tbe national credit
against the determined protests of the
Democracy of the nation, aud is now
waging a hard fight to make the in
dustrial policy of protection so deeply
impressed on American minds that, in
the future, its present opponents will
acknowledge their error and attempt
to blot out their record on the tariff
as they have on state rights and re-
Even Democrats must
acknowledge that the world move's,
and if they do not "keep up with the
procession" they must be relegated to
the rear, in politick the same as m any
other question.
It appears that tho only paper ad
vocating the re election of Hon.' Binger
Hermann is the Klamath Star, a paper
published in Southern Oregon. Dur

Hermann has been in congress he has

Kearlnx u Crisis.
Washington, . March 8. The senate in
executive session, this afternoon, considered
the arbitration treaty in regard to the Behring
Sea. There was much opposition to it. The
body of the senators bitterly resenting the
idea of any treaty and holding the right of the
United States to the waters acquired from
Russia was bey nd question. They assert it
would be cowardly to surrender on the part of
this government or to submit its rights to uncer
tain decision ot foreign arbitrators. Attention
is called to the fact that one ot these arbitra
tor-: is the subject of a power with which our re
lations are somewhat strained Italy. Others
appeared to believe the approval of the treaty
to be a distinct gain in the diplomatic battle,
inasmuch as it committed ureat Britain to the
recognition of the fact the United States had
a claim to jurisdiction over the water of the
Behring Sea under Russian : title, a point
which she heretofore steadily refused to allow.
A third grojp thought the treaty should not be
approved finally, without the addition of a
clause renewing the modus vivendi; indeed
there was manifested a genaral feeling of
disappointment, growing out of the refusal
The past season was a most success I of the British government to accede to the
ful one for farmers in Eastern Oregon,
and the coming one appears equally
favorable. - Cheap rates from this 'city
to seaboard have been realized by rea
son of the opposition boat and portage
road at the Cascade", and a aiore favor
able opportunity never presented itself
for the inauguration of manufacturing
industries. ' The Dalles is not only at
the bead of navigation on the Colum
bia river, but is in a great measure an
ocean competitive point. With the
benefit of cheap freights to tidewater
articles could be manufactured here in
reasonable request of this government in that
respect. Some senators took the ground that
while the treaty might safely be ratified the
admin strat'on should be instructed in the
event of the continued refnsal of the British
government to insure the protection of seals
during the arbitration proceedings, to order
the vessels ot the United States to seize every
offending vessel without regard to nationality.
After considerable discussion the treaty was
referred to the committee on foreign rela
tions, ' .

Scienoe In Bread Making.
At the recent annua, meeting of lhe Ameri
can iuciiiicai .-ociety, nciu in w asnington,
D. C, the question of the value of carbonate
of ammonia as a leavening agent in bread, or
as usea in oaKtng powders, came up tor dis
cussion, in which Prof. Barter of the univer-
sity of Pennsylvania, and president of the
society; Dr. Richardson, late of the United
Slates Department of Agriculture in vVashing-
ton; Dr. Wm. McMurtrie, late Prot. of
Chemistry in the University of Illinois; Dr. E.
H. Bartley, late Chemist of the Brooklyn. N.
Y., Board of Health, and Prof, of Chemistry
01 tne ixmg island College, and others, took
part.
The concensus of opinion was overwhelm
ing in favor of the employment of ammonia.
It was stated as a fact that ammonia rendered
the gluten of the flour more soluble than the
original gluten, and that the bread in which
this action was produced by carbonate of
ammonia must be more digestible and hence
more healthful, and because of the extreme
volatility of carbonate of ammonia and its
complete expulsion from the bread in the
process of baking, it is one of the most useful,
most healthful and most valuable leavening
agents known. .
These conclusions are borne out by tne
very elaborate and exhaustive experiments
made by Prof. J. W. Mallet, of the University
01 Virginia, wnicn snow conclusively that
bread made with a baking powder in which
one per cent, of carbonate of ammonia is used,
in connection witn cream ol tarter and soda,
is not only o( uniformly better color and tex
ture, but a product more wholesome, because
the ammonia serves to neutralize any organic
or lactic acids present in the flour.
An appeal has been filed in tbe United
States circuit court of appeals, in which
the United States government asks that
the decree of the United . States circuit
court of Oregon in an action brought
acainst the Dalles Military Koad Compa
ny, the Eastern Oregon Land Com pan v,
and others, be set aside. The court found
that tbe certificate ol tbe governor of Ore
gon, declaring the road to have been con
structed according to specifications, was
made in good faith and without fraud or
misrepresentation on the part of anyone,
it found, too, that other defendants, pur
chasers of lands from Dalles Military
Road Company, did so without fraud or
misrepresentation, and it therefore dis
missed, the bill of complaint against
them. In appealing, the government
claims that the .finding of the court that
the certificate of the governor of Oregon,
declaring the road to have been fully con
structed, was made out fullv and without
representation, is contrary to the admis
sions made iu tbe defendant's plea, and
against the evidence nnd contrary to law.
It also claims that the finding that the
other defendants purchased the land in
good faith was contrary to )aw and the
evidence offered. 'J'he government, there-
lore, asbs that tbe decree be set aside and
that the land revert to the United slates
for the non-fulfillment ot the contract for
constructing the road.
