4. The Times-Mountaineer SATURDAY .....MARCH 12 1802 r 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 REPUBLICAN-DEMOCRAT. caucus, and should follow the idea originally intended of pure and sim ple reprf st-ntation of the twishes of those who elected them at the primar ies.

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 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.'

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. . The . sovereign people hav I en ignored too much in our electoral system, and it is a matter for congrat ulation that leading men in congress are advocating the election of U. S. senators by a popular vote. Conven tions, which are usually controlled by cliques, and? governed by machine methods concocted by politicians dominate candidates, and electors 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 ing the three or four terms that Mr. Hermann has been in congress he has .march up to the polls like dumb, j been very active in establishing post driven cattle and vote the party ticket, j routes, and has been mindful of tbe Place seekers, or those who attach I people's interests in other matters; but themselves to political organizations I he has been at Washington City long for the lucrative positions to be se I enongh for one man, without the peo- cured, haye . too much power in this I pie desire to give him the office during country, and it is time that this was life.

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, ' . Tbe Saltan's Nerve. Vienna, March 8.

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.
