THE OREGON SCOUT., City and 0)unty Official Paper. Friday, Sept. 80th., 1887. FARMKUS AXJ) TAXATIOX. MIow can a nation that is ns yet unable to fully supply its own market Mici'Chfully complete for t lie control of othors?' ' Senator Jhttrcs. It is difllcult to inmino what tlic honorable senator was driving at when lie delivered himself of tho fore going, though it is fair to presume; that lie thinks America is yet ;m in fant that would starve to death unless fed on protection pap. Carried out to its logical nud inevitable eonelu- . Bion Senator Dawes' idea would total ly destroy all couiiuunicalion between people of different nationalities. It , would hum every ship that sails the ' ocean and make every nation a little i world o'it self. .Senator Dawes hopes to sec the day i when our manufacturers will supply the home market and have a surplus ; to be sent to foreign countries, and there sold for cash, tho ship returning empty, for it will be observed that we ' arc all to supply our o"n markets, ; nud no foreigner is to laud unylliing'oii our shores to nwap for what we have. That is not ( lie way the world's com- ! metre has been regulated in the past, j and trade operates tinder the same i laws that governed it when Isaac mar- ! ried Rebecca. Here is Cuba that has a large sur plus of .sugar, ami Minnesota has u large surplus f flour. Cuba wants llom and Minnesota wants sugar. They arc ready to swap and both be benefited, leaving sugar enough in Cuba and flour enough in Minnesota to supply everybody, but .Senator Dawes and other protectionist step in and say: "That it is ruinous , we cannot trade with other nations until wc produco everything in this count ry that wo want. " When thai time, como-i and nobody but un old granny thinks it will ever come what tho devil will be the occasion our trading with anybody? No other people will have anything wc want, for wc will be over supplied with everything. Protection is losing ground in this country. Except in Virginia, North ern Alalmina and Middle Tennessee the democrat party is demanding a re ductionnot revision of the tariff. Even in Pennsylvania .Sam Randall Service rules, upon which they have could not hold his forces in line, but j been engaged quite a while, in tho ef wati compelled to kits Hill Scott's rod I fort to adjust them to existing cir and iigipe to a platform (hat demand- i cumstances in the several departments, ed reduction. In Ohio democracy Inn ' It is not improbable that the age. limit )htnteci itself firmly upon a policy of ! a feature that has provoked most cheaper necessaries of life instead of J criticism will be modified in such a cheaper whiskv and tobacco. In Iowa j the democrat voiceis equally emphatic i uiul the late republican convention of that state favored n reduction of (aritf taxation. The President of the United j Stiilcs mill Ii'h f-ccrelnrv of treasury recommend a reduction of the tariff u inn proper means or reiluciui: tlic . treasury surplus, The sentiment is growing every day and ll.o people inny expect relief before the expiration of the llrsl scxion of next congress. Let every farmer keep u sharp eye on hU representative in Congress. If he votes for a reduction of the tariff ap plaud him; if he dodge discard him and if he votes for a continuation of iniipiity that piles tip SlL'0,000,000. surplus annually that ought to bo in the pocket1 of the people, rebuke him, mid keep him at home next year.

It is well that the eyes of tho nation 1 arc now directed on Philadelphia, where 1 are assembling tho chcif men of the country to testify anew their admira tion of and devotion to the cardinal ; principles of American liberty, as em bodied in that costitutiou , which the old world apostle of republicanism, ' (Jladslono, pronounce? the most per- j j feet work of man at a singlo stroke, of '' ' whhh time has proved the almost in- j inspired wisdom and patriotism of its far seeing founders, who buildcd wis j er than they new. As tho Centennial I of tho Declaration of Independence I put our people to pondering on the spirit and teaching of our character of ! liberty, so will the celebration of the Constitutional Centennial invest with new interest, and induce them to stu diously analyze the principles of tho 1 constitution of tho United States. There is much speculation as to Hie success of Kx-Assistant .Secretary of .State Porter; though nothingis known it is considered probable that the new ollicial, as did his predecessor, will hail from the South. Mr. Raynrd, it it is said, claims the right to name his assistant, owing to their intimate of ficial and personal relations being also mindful of his unpleasant experience with hisJnst associate, with whom he had no friendly parting. The .Suivcyor General of Arizona reports extensive land grants, engin eered by the railroads in the iutcrst of their own stock holders, and other speculators, and involving an urea of 80x100 miles of land in that Territory. Those valuible lands will doubtless lie rnnlnimpfl lit flu. imvnrmnnf m rittfti ' cd to entry for bona fide settlers. The chief of tho foiestry division of the Agricultural Department, after a careful survey, estimates that the for ests owned by the government, rep resent a capital of $80,000,000. and (hat tlic annual loss thereon by fire is 8,000,000. To avert this loss, To avert this loss, the ! surveyor purposes that the government ' make accurate surveys of the wooded (area, and withdraw it from sale or prcmption, and that experienced for esters be employed to protect this property from burning, as well as from the destructive inroads of timber depredators. These suggestions seem practical and worthy of serious con sideration by Congress. The Commi.vsionors have nol yet completed the revision of the Civil manner as to remove all the objections ti at have been urged against it . It has been arranged that clerks in the, departments who desire to do so, can go homo o vote, provided tho time then lost is deducted from their annual leave, or if none is due them, icave, wjinoui. pay , win no jrrnniea n (sw .Int.

The annual repot t of tho Commiss ioner of Pensions shows that at the com of the lust fiscal year there wero ti'O.UOlI pensioners on the rolls, .rf. l 171 having beun added during the veur 1 on original certillcales the largest I number on record in u single year, i The average annual amount of each ! pension was .i;!0. 10. In closing his t report, the ConiuiHsioner makes sev eral suggestions and rcccomendatioiis. The next statue to grace the Capit al's great collection of noble works J W. .11 . , . 1( ul.l will be the monument to the most pntriotii of Frenchmen T.afay- I olte. Congress has appropriated .lo, J (00 for the purpose , and the contracts have been very appropriately award , od to French artists.

India and ( Southern Russia arc now producing wheat nt prices with which wc cannot at this grcnt distance from tho Euro pean markets, successfully compete. We must, turning our fino resouiccs of soil and climate to account, develop production in the forms in which com petition cannot he universal. Fruit,1 hops, live stock, dairying, etc., must supplant the wheat industry. The Eugcdc City llcjistcr issued a neat and attractive daily during the county fair, recently held at that place. Lane county may well be proud of her annual fairs. The large list of prem iums awarded for the product of every conceivable line of industry shows that the people are deeply interested in these exhibitions. Wc wish that Union county would get up similar ones. It could easy enough if more attention were paid to the products of the soil, and less to horse racing. .
