Tho old saying tlmt "nono nrc so
blind ns those who will not sco" novor
hnd a belter exemplification thnn the
following from tho Baker City Ulude :
"Democratic journals aro busily en
gaged in increasing the cost of almost
everything by comparing old and now
duties. If they would comparo the
prices at which goods arc told to the
consumer they would learn that tho
Belling price of goods has not in
creased." If tho editor of tho Blade will take
tho trouble to interview the merchants
of liia town ho will find that the price
of nearly every articlo of home con
sumption, particularly thoso used by
tho poor man, have been or will be in
creased in prico from ten to thirty per
cent, by reason of the passage of the
McKinley tariff bill. Merchants who
had good stocks on hand prior to the
passago of tho bill can sell them oh"
at tho old prices, but all goods they
ouy ncreaiter they will nave to pay
tho increased duty on, and in conso
quunce must raise meir price., wo
nro connected with a mercantile linn
in this city, and during tho past wee!
or two letters have been received from
nearly every wholesaler witli whom we
deal stating that while our patronage
is solicited they aro compelled to in
form us that no nioro goods can be
bought at tho old prices, on account of
tho provisions of tho McKinley hill
Tho prices they quote us vary, accord
ing to tho article, and aro increased
from ten to thirty per cent. We know
that every other morchant in town has
received similar notifications. It is
tho natural outcome of tho republican
idea of protection and could i'ot result
in any other way. Tho McKinley bill
prohibits compet.tion and enables tho
manufacturer to chargo an increased
prico for his waros. Tho wholesale
morchant pays this advanced price
and sells to tho retail dealer with tho
advanced prico added. Tho retail
dealer is forced to mark his goods
up accordingly, and tho poor man
waiKH up to tuo counter and pays
Ins tribute to tho republican party and
tho monopolistic manufacturers, while
his wife and children are, in many
cases, suffering for want of tho clothing
ho cannot buy, and the bread he is un-
nblo to procure Thoro is no man so
poor that it will not cost him several
hundred dollars more each your to
livo than it has heretofore. But it
seems that such a lesson is needed to
bring tho masses to a realization of the
sophistries of tho protectionists and wn
Aro really glad that tho McKinloy hill
has boon passed. It is a practical los'
ion and ono that will open tho oyes of
tho masses as nothing elso could.
Tho McKinley, tariff bill has gone
into effect and workingmcn who have
been led to believo that it would inaug
urate an era of better times arc begin
ning to roalir-e that it is acting just
tho reverse. It will bo another case of
hope deferred making tho heart sick.
Already the beacons of disaster aro
(laming ominously in tho sky. Eu
rope is handing togcthor in a practical
boycott of American goods. Hitherto,
we havo both bought and sold with
mutual advantage. Tho republican
fiat has gone forth and wo shall only
soil. Austria and Germany have said
that if wo will not buy, wo shall not
sell. Holland and Italy threaten to
join coalition, and it may notatop even
there. Tho "homo market," of which
republican leaders have ko loudly
prated, seems likely to be our only one,
or if wo retain any foreign market it
will ho not by the graco of tho "pro
teetivo policy," but by making con
cessions that are directly antagonistic
to its principles and fairly in lino with
tho abhored "free trade." Nor is tho
fact that the republicans are confining
American consumers, who wish to buy,
and American producers who wish to
sell, to a limited marked, whero
brazen monoply regulates both tho
prico paid and the price demanded to
subserve its own behoof, the worst of
it all. By closing our markets to
European cheap goods, wo throw
European cheap labor out of employ
ment, and it is beginning to pour in
to this country in a mighty stream to
compete with tho American workman
in his own territory, to enter tho strug
gle with him for employment and
sealo wages down to a starvation point.
!' o now tariff law prevents tho
American woikinnn horn buying
tho cheap goods of Europo and com
pels him to pay monoply prices, and
then by lobbing him of his employ
ment, makes it impossible for him to
purchase either the ono or tho other,
but turns him loose on society, a pau
per, a tramp, or a criminal. Great is
protection! Great ia republicanism!
Great is hum bug !

discretion will servo him well. No
man can bo blamed for harboring a
fooling of supremo disgust for a saw

with a buzz saw.
President L. Samuel, of tho Oregon
Tress Association, has called a mooting

exhibit. In selecting this committee,
ho has been careful that it shall bo
composed of gentlemen representing
every section of tho Stato and both
political parties, hb ho is anxious that
neither sectionalism nor polities shall
bo introduced into the question.

tation between the Union Paciho road
and its eastern connections, except
tho Chicago &, Northwestern road, in
tho matter of billing freight through,
has wont into effect, freight, whenever
possible, being forwarded by other
routes. At Council Bluffs, Iowa, it
must bo robilled over tho Union Paci
fic. This break applies to and from
point between Omaha and Salt Itko
and does not extend to coast freight.
Tiik Clovt'liuid, (Ohio) press has

And now it seems that tlio world's
fmr is to bo classed with tlio numer
ous things injured by tho now tariff
law. Tho latest European advices say
that tho majority of manufacturers
rofuso to 6end any exhibits to Chicago,
taking tho ground that it would bo a
useless oxpendituro of money for them
to do so, us tho duties imposed by tho
now tariff law aro so high na to practi
cally shut their goods out of tho Ameri

A Tax, proporly speaking, is a bur-
don with ix benefit. You pay so much
wator, polico or school tax, and rcccivo
its equivalent in aqueducts, watchman
ami education. Jut wncn you pay
$1 on a thing and another dollar as
duty on it, what do you get on that
extra dollar? Strictly speaking, thcre-
foro protectionist orators aro right in
saying tho tariff is not a tax, It is a
burden without a boneflt, just as if tho
monoy had bcon lost or stolen.
