PROTECTION AND PROGRESSION.
The price question has been settled
thoroughly, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean, and in favor of protection to
; American industries. It will be the
turn of the protectionist speakers and
writers to quote prices during the com
ing campaign. The free traders never
. have been able to use them effectively,
' for, almost universally, protection has
lowered prices when it has had time
' to operate. Where it has failed, as in
the case of sugar, it has been because
the manufacturers benefited by it have
been too apathetic to avail themselves
of its advantages, and their apathy
properly has led to removal of proteo-
; tion from articles whose production
was not stimulated by it. . The Demo
cratic gains in 1890 were not made by
quotation of what prices really were
"on account of the tariff," but by
false prophesies of what they would
be "on account of 'a new tariff. These
prophesies now are matter of ridicule.
They cannot be used again.
But there is a fine field of education
now to the advocates of protection, in
. which may be displayed the philosophy
of tariff operations. The voters may
be educated into a knowledge of how
protection lowers prices by increasing
', production, and the American Econo
mist has been the first to enter this
field. The figures that we are about
to produce are gathered from it
. The McKinley bill gave incresed
protection to many grades of silk and
lace manufactures,and it largely added
to the tariffs on velvet and plushes,
and increased the duties on many
qualities of hosiery. Everybody re
members the malignant joy with which
the Democratic press predict-d the in-
ability of any, save the very .rich, to
buy silks or plushes or laces under the
provisions of the McKinley bill, and
. the rapture with which it insisted on
the need of the people to wear patched
socks and stockings, "on account of the
tariff" ' Equally well doas everybody
know that silks and plushes and ho
siery and laces are cheaper to-day than
when the Democratic press was mak
ing its alarming predictions as to an
immediate and permanent rise in the
price of them. But as to the reason
why everybody may not be so well in
formed.
It is this: Since the passage of the
McKinley bill sixteen new factories
for the production of these articles
have been established in the United
States. Sixteen new American com
petitors for possession of the Ameri-
can market have made tbeir appear
' ance. One of these is paying f 4000
. week in wages,another is paying $1500
a week, one is paying $25,000 a year,
another . tlD.UUU. i. he wages run
. from $3 per week for girls to $10 for
skilled operators.
There were Democratic complaints
- of duties on cotton ties, tools and ma-
. chmery, but seven new factories for
the production of these things have
been put in operation since the passage
V of the McKinley bill.
. As to tin-plate, the American pec
pie have heard much from the Demo
: cratic press, and even now an unusual
' ly audacious free trader will venture
' to say that no tin plate is made in the
t ' United States. The American Econ-
' omist, however, notes that the Wal
lace Banfield & Co. works at Irondale,
Ohio, are giving steady employ ment
to 700 men, and paying from $7 to $9
per . day for tin " workers, and from
$1.20 to $3 for iron workers, for this
firm rolls its own steel and plates be
,fore coating them; it is producing
, 108,000 sheets . of tin-plate daily.
Seven other firms are quoted as actu-
' ally engaged in the manufacture of
' ' tin-plate. All these are creations of
' the McKinley bilL
Besides these, three tin works have
. enlarged the sphere of their operations
. since the passage of the bill, and this
' is true of thirteen lace, silk, plush and
hosiery firms, in addition to the six
teen new ones j already . mentioned
These are bat a few instances of the
development , of American industries
, since the enactment of that law which
the tree traders viuhed as a measure
of oppression.
The Eugene Register gives forth no
uncertain sound regarding its political
faith, and this is the way it voices its
sentiments in favor of the grand old
party of progress, protection and pa-
. - . nTH T"
u-iousm: lira . xMjpuuiicao party is

lieves that it is right to protect the farm
er, or producer of raw material, as well
as the manufacturer. In short it is the
party of the people, demanding equal
rights for all and oppression for none,
and on this ground it will make the
fight of 1892 and come out victorious.
Let every Republican stand up for
these principles and elect a ticket that
will carry them out."
We did not read the organ of Sat
urday, nor do we desire to, and have
the most utter contempt for the fellow
who edits it, whom we consider lack
ing in every element that constitutes a
gentleman and in the ordinary at
tributes of honor and integrity; bnt

nd not the tools of any faction or I
clique. This was the reason that this
paper rejoiced in the result of the pri
mary election, and the county and state
conventions. When we ascertained
the faot that a faction in this city was
attempting to inaugurate Cffisarism in
the politics of Wasco county we gave
the whining in clear and unmistakable
language, and the people responded
nobly at the polls in every precinct
A ticket, very acceptable to Republi
can voters, was placed in the field, 2nd
representative men elected to the state
convention, made such district nom
instions as will receive the full
support of the party at the coming
June election. The Times-Hount-
aiseek has always opposed bossism in
politics and factional rule in business,
and has never, in a single instance,
advocated any idea, political or other
wise, in its editorial columns, that the
editor did not fully endorse. This is
journalism. It has applied heroic
treatment to a selfish faction in this
conimuniiy, because it has witnessed
the butchery of several enterprises
at the hands of its members
that would have tended to impel the
growth and prosperity of the city and
vicinity. Whatever we have said in
this regard can be substantiated by
facts, well known to all old residents,
It has, fought classes and not individu
als, and only these in the instances in
which the purity of the ballot was im
perilled and the advancement of the
city impeded. ;
OUR FOSITION DEFINED.
The position of the organ in this
city is that of Ishmael whose hand
was against every man, and against
whom was every man's hand. . This
situation cannot be attributed to the
present editor, as he is but the man
whom some one or more of the stock
holders or directors chose as a mouth
piece. Wben toe paper was started
Mr. -T- TT. fji-Arilntianofi nn nf TTnnH
RW w engaged editor, and it is
a well known fact that he resigned his
position rather than become responsi
ble for a policy which consisted in
personal persecution and the publica
tion of distorted facts and utter false
hoods'. - The water question was prob
ably one of the most potent factors
that stimulated into life and being the
Chronicle. We always have and still
do believe that Mr. Moody was honest
in the position he assuned. Almost
two years' investigation had shown
it impossible to secure gravity water
outside the Thompson supply, and he
considered the purchase of the plant
unwise at the price of $50,000. ' He
therefore announced himself in favor
of pumping from the Columbia river,
and nn thin nlatfnrm wan -rpalpfr.Ad.
def
city who favored the purchase of the
old plant. After election he stood by
his opinion in spite of popular clamor
aroused by the misrepresentations of
those who, for personal reasons, wished
to accomplish the purchase. The de
structive fire of last September,
the increased indebtedness of $25,000,
and the present and prospective con
dition of the city's finances show that
his views-were sound and prudent.
For his adherence to his honest con
victions he was subjected to outrageous
persecution, the Chronicle anxious to
convince tne people that self interest
swayed Mr. Moody's judgment Not
content with the purchase of the water
plant, this paper has relentlessly
hounded Mr. Moody ever since, and has
gone so far as to denounce every pro
nounced friend of his, ani to assail the
integrity of men of the highest stand
ing in the community because they
did not join the hue and cry. Where
legal penalty forbade assertions.infin
nations were made, and thus lias, the
matter gone on until any prominent
man who is not intimidated by the
organ is a shining mark for its vili
fication. ' . . '
The present attitude in regard to
the Republican ticket may be Gour
lay's own. If so, the Republicans
who own stock in the paper should
free themselves from suspicion of dis
affection. Without an atom of reason
the Chronicle has chosen to take the
position that the Republican ticket
now in the field is a Moody ticket.
The fact is, as every one knows, that
it is a ticket which was made by an
opposition on the part of Republicans
generally to the self-constituted bosses
ho proposed dictating all nomina
tions with the full knowledge and con
sent of the Chronicle. . We are strong
ly of the opinion that jealousy end
consuming desire on the part of de
feated candidates to oppose and beat
the ticket stimulated them to cast
about for an excuse for such opposi
tion. The long-time plank of "Anti-
Moody" seemed to them the most
available, and,' so with this narrow
platform they evidently propose to
slaughter a ticket which from top to
bottom is made np of men represent
ing all localities and varied interests.
If the Chronicle Publishing Company
approye of this course they should
direct Mr. Gourlay to come out and
state that the paper.for certain reasons
of its own, would not support the Re
publican ticket, abandoning the insin
cere pretext that such action was due
to Mr. Moody's connection with its
being placed in the field. ;
We shall support the ticket heartily
and let Mr. Gourlay hammer away as
his venom moves him, calmly confident
that his spiteful inventions are harm
less and will return to plague their
inventor and defeat his ends, as the
history of the past year has shown. -
Speaking of passes to delegates
to state conventions, it mar be
veil to state that the faction was
the only one that offered them. As
usual, the railroad company gave a
red uc tier, to those attending this con-
yentioo, when accompanied by certifi-
of election. Bat still it mast be
understood that the defeated boas
were tbe only ones who sought prox-
jea, and we have evidence to believe
...
offered money to purchase them.
FREE TRADE NOT DESIRABLE.
A Democratic exchange, attempting
to hide ' its free-trade opinion, pub
lishes the following editorially to in
duce the farmers to vote the ticket:
Tbe American farmers are ss much en
titled to tbe protecting care and favorable
consideration of tbe American govern
ment as is tbe protected manufacturer.
If not, why not? There are about two
thousand farmers in tbe United States to
one' protected manufacturer. Tbe farm
ers pay about the name wages to tbeir
workmen, and board tbem, as tbe pro
tccted woolen and cotton manufacturers
pay tbeir workmen without board. The
natural rights of farmers, to buy where
they can buy the cheapest, and to get
tbe most tbey honestly caD forwbat tbey
sell, are as clear and should be as sacred
as tbe rights of the protected manufactur
ers to do so. Farmeis produce wheat in
excess of borne demands, and that excess
is exported to countries where tbe de
mand is greater than tbe supply.
The doctrine of protection is broad
enough to guard all industries against
unfair foreign competition, and this it
does. Even the farmer is protected,
and the foreign product from cheap
labor India, or any other conntry.can
uot be brought to the American
market without going through tbe
custom house and paying duty. This
was found necessary because of the
fine grade of wheat produced in Man
itoba, from which better flour can be
made than from that grown in the
United States, and from the possible
importation from Egypt or India, dur
a year of plenty. But, in the effort
to cajole the farmer into the free-trade
ranks, the Democratic editor oversteps
the mark and demolishes in the. fol
lowing sentence all his smooth-sounding
words about the American farmer
being "as much entitled to tbe protect
ing care" of the government as the
manufacturer:
- A duty of $10 a bushel on wheat would
not affect its price one cent except in case
of ' a failure of the crop, and tben im
ported wheat would cost its foreign price
with the $10 per bushel duty added.
It is true that protection only bene
fits the farmer in the instances we
have named and the case stated by our
cotemporaay, and the Republican
party has wisely provided a duty in
case these emergencies arise. It could
do no more for the tillers of tbe soil.
But the logic of the Democratic
editor is fully illustrated in the follow
in8: ,
Farmers aod manufacturers send tbeir
surplus products abroad and sell tbem at
foreign prices. Tbe balance of tbe farm
ers1 wheat is not upheld by a tariff, and
it is only worth Its foreign price with
cost of transportation added. Tbe bal
ance of the products of the manufactur
ers are upheld by the tariff and they can
demand and obtain for tbem almost
double prices because of tbe tariff.
Our cotemporary admitted that pro
tection could not raise the price of
wheat except in case of failure of crops(
and the reason is, in ordinary seasons
there is a surplus produced over home
consumption. Of course farmers are
forced to "send their surplus products
'abroad, and no act of congress can in
crease the price per bushel in Liver
pool ' There are marked differences in
regard to manufactures and growers
of wool The "surplus products" of
all the looms of Great Britain are con
stantly seeking this country for a mar
ket, and if free trade were inaugurat
ed for a single season English goods
ould be placed on sale at ruinous
prices, and home industries would be
throttled and killed. This was tersely
stated by a member of the British par
liament in a debate on tree-trade- a
few years since, when he said: ' "Give
us free-trade with the United States
and we will ship the 'surplus products
of our factories to that country, sell
them at any price, kill American in
dustries, and then we will clothe Araer
icans at our own figures." Notwith
standing the tariff of about 12 cents a
pound, Australia will send this season
several shiploads of wool aggregating
several millions of pounds to tbe
Rnnrnn martpt. Tha i fant. ia onnarpnt.

"Only by union with the United
States can Canada get out of her
troubles," is the opinion of the rising
Canadian statesman and annexationist,
Mr. . A. MacDonald. Tbe tame
opinion has been entertained by the
more far-seeing politicians of Canada
for many years, or ever since the Mac
kenzie revolt over half a century ago,
says the New York Sun. The mole-
eyed provincial officeholders argue
against annexation; but they cannot
make the people understand why Can
ada hobbles along far ia the rear of
the high-stepping United States, or
why tbe subject provinces are forever
groaning under the megrims, while the
ndependent republic is always in the
best of spirits. "Manifest destiny"
was once a very familiar phrase in this
country; and it is time for the Cana
dians to try to comprehend it.
The New York Sun has this to say
regarding one argument used against
Chinese immigration: "The Herald ob.
jects to Chinese immigration because !
the Chinamen 'do not believe in oar
religion,' but are pagans. Let us look
at the 'American religion. We have
in the United States a number of pow
erful religious systems, including Prot-
estantism m all its varieties, Catholic
ism, and J jdaisro; while we have here
also, it must be admitted, a very large
number of people who are devotees of
irreligion, some of whom are organized
into societies of agnosticism. Then
we have Faith Curists, Spiritualists,
Ghost Dancers, Schweinf urthists, Mor
mons, Mitmbojumboist8, and what not.
Truly, indeed, the heathen Chinee,
whether Buddhists, Confuciusites, or
Mugwump Taoists, would find it hard
to pick out the American religion by
traveling over this country in Joseph's
coat of many colors.
From the splenetic effusion in Sat
urday's organ it is plain to see that
our disappointed contemporary feels
very bad indeed, and probably because
the people of Wasco county refused to
ornampnt the ticket with the illus
trious name of Hugh Gourlay, preach
er, spouter and mud slinger. This
same individual, in an eloquent speech
before the McKinley club some weeks
ago, in the full confidence that the
Farley slate would go, and that Gour
lay would be nominated for clerk on
firnt ballot, mentioned the necessity of
working on party lines , and declared
that for his part this seemed so im
portant that if a "yellow doe'' were
placed in nomination he would feel
bound to support him. The sudden
change of heart which he now evinces
is no doubt due to the fact that to his
sorrow and surprise the "yellow dog"
didn't get there, and is snarling
through the columns of the orin.
As (stated in a previous issue the
Times-Mountaineer does not make
war on individuals, but on factions
and classes, where these interfere with
the freedom of the ballot or act detri
mental to the best interests of The
Dalles. ' The editor alone is responsi
ble for articles in the columns, and
never publishes anything editorially
that he does not conscientiously, en
dorse. . To cover the whole ground, we
will state that the Times Mountain
eer is a journal and newspaper, and
has an onquallifiid detestation of per
sonal organs aod blackmailing sheets.
To Bro. Patterson, of the Heppner
Gazette, we say in all friendliness that
the Times-Moutaineer favorably men
tioned the name of Hon. W. R. Ellis
for congress in lbjO before Hon.
Binger Hermann was nominated. But
this is of no consequence, the T. M.
and Gazette will do their utmost to
elect Mr. Ellis the first congressman
of the sesond congressional district in
Oregon. '
The East Oregonian is a consistent
free-trade Democratic journal. It
does not believe in protection in re
gard to commerce or exclusion in rela
tion to the Chinese. But, Bro. Jack
son is not a candidate for office, and
therefore he can express simon-pure
Democratic principle without the least
restraint.

The Portland Di'palch tells the following:
Pacific office in tbi. city and paid tor a rii
h hA .tnin n i, mr frnm ' W hitman
to The Dalles tome eiijht years ago. The
amount was $6.60.
The man declined to
give hia name er to take a receipt for the
money. Every man that beats a railroad
company is not a tramp or a hobo, yet they
are looked upon and classed as such. The
man in question was undoubtedly an honest
man, bat was forced to steal the ride irom
dire necessity, and when fortune amiled up
on him, he like a true man, came boldly to
the front and paid bis fare like a gentle
man. Now then, let the Union Pacific take
an example from this man, and return tbe
money stolen from the people by extortion
ate overcharged rates.
Hon. William Stewart, of Payette Valley,
Idaho, reports that cattlemen out that way
are suffering a seyere loss through the agen
cy ' of a peculiar mineral poison which
exudes from tbe ground and deposits' itself
upon the feed. Stexrart, who has for 27
years been known as governor ot the Pay
ette, says that during the past week he bas
seen at least 2000 dead cattle within a
radios of five miles ot bis ranch, and that
npon one small green knoll he counted 300
carcasses. Wben it first became known
that cattle were dying of poison the drov
ers were much exoited, but tbe fact has be

The Cotton District Trouble.
London, April 12 Tbe efforts to settle
the dispute between employes and mill

be idle. A number of firms bave obtained
permission from tbe masters' union, on
condition ot paving large finep, to com
plete important contracts now under way
but after tbese are finished no more worn
is to be done until the dispute is finally
settled, by tbe enforced giving in of one
or tbe other contesting parties. Tbe
friends of tbe men continue to make un
official efforts to avert tbe stoppage,
wbich can hardly' fail to cause fearful
distress in tbe present state of tbe labor
market, but there seems to be no hope of
tbe success ot tbese endeavors, ss both
sides are determined and tbe leeling is
quite bitter. Elbven thousand spinners
ate directly affected, and 70,000 workers
in other branches connected with cotton

A. "New Phase of the Trouble In Wyo
nslnx.
Cheyenne, April 14. There Is great
doubt If any of tbe Pinkerton mercena
ries, who bave been smuegled into John
son county to shoot tbe ranchmen, will
ever come out alive. Tbe fight in Bis;
Horn basin is not, as bas beeo stated, be
tween tbe cattlemen and the rustlers, but
between tbe Dig cattle companies and tbe
ranchmen, who are fencing tbe fertile
land. Some cattle bave beeo stolen, and
tbis has been magnified to such an ex
tent that the people generally believe
that tbe inhabitants or the basio are
thieves. Now tbat the Pinkertons are in

tbat men are being killed there daily.
The sheriff of tbe county is a man who is
sympathy with the small ranchmen.
He is a man of great nerve, and if, as is
clearly his duty to do so, be should call
on tbe citizens to assist him in arresting
tbis armed force tbat bas, without au
thority of law, invaded bis- county, be
could qu.ckly gather about bim 200 to
300 cowboys wbo are familiar with the
country and at borne in tbe saddle, and,
in tbat event, there is little cbance of any
of tbe Invading partv getting out alive,
While tbe majority of tbe small ranchmen
are booest and industrious, tbey are all
desperate and daring, with but very few
cowards. And though bis invading
party may be only after a few of the
worst thieves, the small ranchmen do not
know whom tbey bave on their list, so
tbat it puts each and every one of them
on tbe defensive.
