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

growing every day and ll.o people

Washington, .Sept. Writ, 1887.
! 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

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,

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.

on original certillcales the largest
I number on record in u single year,
i The average annual amount of each

t report, the ConiuiHsioner makes sev
eral suggestions and rcccomendatioiis.

Washington
The Oregonian Bays: Tho farmers I
of Oregon must soon recognize the
fact that wheat is down to stay, and
that they must seek future profit in
other forms of product. 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. .
