IS THE TARIFF A TAXI
Nearly, it Dot quite all freetraders, and
"tariff for revenue only" advuoatea, claim
and insist tbat our present tariff is a tux
and that must of this comes off the work
ing and farming olueees. Let us see.
Tbe working girl uses a liandkerobief
tbat is taxed 6 eeuts per yard, bat bicb
sells at i oeuts per yard retail ; tbe labor
er's print sbirt, taxed 5 cents per yard(
' retail prioe 5 cents per yard; tbe poor
man's blanket 95 cents, or 105 per oeut,
but sells at 90 cents retail; salt 83 8-5
cents, or 120 per cent, onsts retail, per
barrel in tbe states, 28 cents; wire nails
ere taxed 121 p r cent, or $2, yet tbeii
regular retail prioe is only $1.65, with
freight added to tbis seotiun of ooursejj
s iw files are taxed 75 cents per dozen, or
106 per cent, yet tbeir selling price in the
retuil market is not over 6 cents, unless
they want an unusual profit; cigars are
taxed 3 07 per box of 60 eaob, or 2( 6 per
cent., and anyone knows that a good oi
gar, retail oy the box, aim be bought for
less money than tbe tariff; bd euchre
deck and oase is taxed 50 oeuts, or 163
per cent., yet it oosts iu Heppner 2j
oeuts; the dress that is taxed $1.79 oeuts
sells at SI 80; tbe material for amoruiun
dre.-s is taxed 9 oenis, but sells for 7
ceuts; tbe cloak that is taxed 103 per
oent , or $5.15, is selling for less mouey;
the oalico aprou is taxil 111 per oent, or
5 cents per yard, yet it retails, less freight,
for i ceuts ; tobacco taxed 10 oeuts or
115 per oent., sells for 10 cents, three
packages for 25 oeuts; a rug taxed 105
per oent, or $1.05, Bells for $1, and so ou
Uharge not to tariff, extortion which
should be laid at the door of the retailer
It in true that the message to ooiigrrSH
in 1887 bore this: "Those who buy im
ports pay the duty ohurged tbereon lutu
the publio treasury, but the flreat mnjor
ity of our citizens, who buy domestic ar.
tides of the same class, pay a sum at
least approximately equal to tbiB duty lu
the home manufacturer," Now is n
the case?
The fuot is that even on imported good
our people do not always pay the duty
The foreign manufacturer generally re
duoes his prioes sufficiently to allow f"i
our tar.ff, But ouly a very soihII purl t
the tilings the Aiucriiau pe pl use an
imported. The great muj rity of on i
people, especially working people and
farmers, never see uny imported good
exoept iu the shop windows, Those
who buy them are the wealthy; andeveu
if they did pay the tariff on them, the)
otiKlit to so lung as they think American
goods are not good enough for them.
Besides, every cent of the tariff goesiutn
the public treasury to pay tbe expense
of government, thus relieving other more
patriotic citizens, who are oouteut with
the produots of their fellow oouiitrymeu'e
labor from luxation lor the Biipport ol
the government.
FOR THE BEST.
Many say tbat siuoe we save $48,000,
000 per year through free sugar, why uot
make other things free and save many
times that amount.
There is no earthly analogy between
the tariff on sugar which was a revenue
tariff aud the tariff on wool, fur in
stance, whlob is a protective tariff. The
former sustained no domeetio industry
of auy moment, gave praotioally no em
ployment to Amerionn labor and capital.
Under it nearly all our sugar was import
ed, and wbeu it was abolished there was
no collapse of doniestio industry. The
few snitur producers received iu exchange
for the tariff a bounty, under which they
prosper even more than before. But re
move the duty on wool, which now sus
tains the immensely important industry
of sheep husbandry, aud you oarry death
and desolation amuug thousauds of now
fairly prosperous flookmasters. Austral
ian aud Argentine wools would 11 od our
markets till the American fine wool in
dustry was no mure. After that we
should have no guarautie that we would
get our wools any oueaper than uow. We
should be obliged to take our chances ou
that score. But about the losses we
should austaiu iu the slaughter of Mucks
fur their tallow, as occurred before un
der a low revenue tariff ou wool, there
cau be no manner of doubt.
Even free sugar would nut, perhaps,
be receiving the encomiums prouonueeil
upou it ou every baud bad the Ain-rioaii
sugar iudnntry not been securely pro
rcted against disaster by the bouuty.
For, in that event, the cry of distress
which would ere this have reached us
troui the Louiiiiaua plantations would
perhaps, onuse us tu pause aud consider
whether it was wise to impuverisU even
few of our people.
To guard agaiuat such a calamity tu
the wool iuterest, if we are to carry out
triotly the comparison with sunar, we
should need to provide for a bouuty ou
Amerioan wool suflioieutly liberal to take
tbe place of the existing tariff. But, un
der that arrangement, not a caul would
be saved to the people, for the amount
of bouuty we should have to pay would
t least tqual aud probably exceed the
amount of wool duties uow collected, In
the oase of sugar, since our borne produc
tion was less than 1 pound in 10 of what
we import, abolishing the duty of 2 ceuts
pouud ou the 10 imported, aud paling
2 oeuts out of that saving on the 1 im-
ported pountl, resulted in a net train to
the people of 18 oents, or about $48,000,
000 in tbe aggregate. So we see that, no
matter from what point of view, there is
oo likeness between sugar or revenue
duty, and wool or protective duty. We
trust tbat oar friends will guard
against these free trade fallacies in the
future.
In this county, tbe tickets have been
printed with I be name of Nathan Pieroe in
two places. We learn that this baa been
done in other counties, but it certainly
is not right. From the same standpoint,
all four of tbe democratic eleotors
had resigned, tbe partv then endorsing
the populists, their names would appear
twioe, both as democrats and populists.
fhis is not in accordance with the spirit
of tbe Australian ballot system nor do
we believe with the strict letter of the
law, though it may be democratic.
fbere are only fifteen eleotors in tbe
Qelil, while the tickets show sixteen,
four of which must be voted for.
The American Protective Tariff league
recently Bent letters to persons in
control of industries which, it is claimed,
have been established or increased by
the MoKiuley tariff, asking information
of tbe number of persons employed,
character of products, etc The replies
taken together show that 37,385
persons have found employment in the
industries referred to. while the increas
ed capital employed amounts to $40,399,
059. Reports, it is said, are incomplete.
and tbs Ame ricBn Economist olaims
about 75,000 persons are dow employed,
in industries actually established or
iucreased by tbe new tariff.

IT INJURES WOOL.
From the Eagle.
Iu another column of this issue
publish a oomm aoication from Frank Lea
to the Heppner Guz tte, in whioh he de
nounces the use of red tar or paint in
branding sheep, giving for bis reason
tbat tbe wool does not command so good
a price by one cent per pound when tbe
sama is used.
Mr. Lee is the Boston salesman for tbe
wool commission merchants, Christy &
Wise, of San Fiancieco, aud having many
friends in the interior oouuiies of Oregon
including Grant county, be makes this
slight damage to wool known in order
tbat our sheepmen oan in tbe future take
advantage of euob and be in a position
to reap better prices.
It is almost absolutely ueoessary tbat
our sheepmen use a brand or mark of
some nature, but if using the BBrue is a
great financial detriment, it appears that
another oourse of marking or branding
sheep could be pursued tbat would fully
auswer tbe purpuse of a tar or red paint
brand.
Mr. Lee suggests tbat if it is absolute
ly necessary that such a brand or mark
must be used, that it would be much to
tbe interest of tbe sheepmen it each
ould, when shearing, olip from each
fleece, the marked or damaged parts,
One cent per pound is a small amount,
but on the whole it will aggregate many
thousand dollars, and tbe Eagle hopes to
see tbe sheepmen get every cent possible
from their wool sales.
