" a RATURDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1880. WILUAnMX JTCOlt, EdUan. rBBCTSADB.; JContimied bom last week.) What then is this 'Protection that is necessary to sustain what is not self-supporting t Throwing aside all the com plications and specious pretexts it just omes back to the original point it is the farmer the unprotected paying ont xtra coin to nourish the protected. If Protection were an overt and direct tax imposed upon the farmer, the whole ag ricultural body would rise en masse, and protest and vote against ft But because it comes indirectly, insidiously, the raven ing, insatiable' monster, Protection, is allowed to filch the hard earnings from the pocket. " How is this t The goods bought are increased in price. The tariff exeludes goods from the market altogeth er, er else runs them up to such a high figure that the domestic manufacturer can under sell him, and still realize enor mous profits. "The advance which the consumer pays on the imported goods goes to the government; the advance which he pays op the domestic goods goes to the manufacturer." Thoroughly di gest that fact, and it is evident that the higher the tariff, beyond certain limits, the lest revenue the government obtains from it, and the greater the tendency to enrich the capitaliat. Let us give a familiar illustration. A pair of good for.eign-made blankets can be landed in New York for $3. This is the natural pi ice of the article, the specific and ad valorem duties amount to 85 per cent., figuriaglip say $2.25. Thus the protec tion price becomes $5.25. Hence the consumer in paying 5.25 for his foreign made blanket, pays really $3 for the blan kets and $2.25 for the government Of course to the patriotic citizen there is some satisfaction in this, as he is thus swelling the revenue of his country. But, remember, he also pays $5.25 for the home-made blanket, bein? $2.25 for the manufacturer's tribute, and the Government gets nothing. Again, to earry this further, suppose the tariff is increased to $, being 100 per cent., the foreign-made blanket must sell for $6 or pot at all. The home manufacturer baring enormous profit at $5.25 can thus exclude foreign-made blankets from the ountry, and the Government does not receive one cent of revenue. Every time the ' fanner buys a blanket then, he simply donates $2.25 to the monopolist manufacturer. It is on record that last year (1879) the value of imported blankets was only $1453. The .tax thereon was $1233. About $20,000,000 worth of blankets bought annually. So the citizens paid in that year "to the dozen manufacturers of Massachusetts and Rhode Island" about $17,000,000! ! Behold the beauty of Protection! Further: the home pro duction of cotton fabrics for 1879 was about $250,000,000. Average import duty 38 per cent The tribute to manu facturers was thus about eighty-seven million dollars, i. e. when the govern ment obtained one dollar, the dear, good helpless manufacturer obtained just seven. And the farmer, principally, pays it ! (To be continued.) It is one of the anomalies of our gov ernment "by the people and for the peo ple," that heads of departments are re sponsible to no cne for purely ministerial acts. If Carl Schurz, as secretary of the Interior should cancel the homestead patent of any man in Umatilla countv. for any alleged reason, there would be no redress. And this is no imaginary ease. It has been done by this same Carl Schurz, in the case of one Thomas McBride of Utah. Two years after h homestead patent had ten issued to him in dps form, the Mormon Legislature in erporated the City of Grantsville in cluding within the city limits 14,400 acres of -the public lands of the United .State - this city of modest dimensions iwas the kosiestead of- McBride. And .because 4t was within the city limits Cexl Schurz canceled his patent He ap .peeled to the Supreme Court; but as far , aa we have been able to learn did not Moeed in regaining his title to his land. There is something too arbitrary about proceeding to be in strict harmony with ojy .fqnn of government Senator Pennington introduced a bill to obviate this difficulty by .giving cabinet ministers seats in the House something after the manner of the British -Cabinet This or sen similar measure is needed. Wheat has touched 80 cents at Amity .and jet the farmers wont sell. A Salami Railroad Pass. CENTEKVILLE, Umatilla Co., Or, Nov. 19. Editor Statesman : As there is rumor afloat that the O. R. & N. Company contem plate sending ont a survey in this county to make a final location for the line of railroad running from the Columbia river into the Grande Rondo Valley, aud as previous sur veys have not hitherto been successful iu find ing a good route, I desire to state in your col umns, as the medium most likely to catch the eye of the tnagnntcs of that corporation, the fact that there is a good natural road to be found via- the Cold Spring Canyon. This j route runs as follows: Commencing at the month of the canyon a few miles above Uma tilla Landing, then running np suid canyon a distance of twenty-one miles to the HambletU place on the North Fork of Cold Spring, where there is a low cut leading into the Greaswood Prairie; thence down Greaswood to the Hale place where another low cut unites it with Holman Gulch, or Sand Hollow, as it is pop- nlarlv known; from the Helman Gulch down to Spring Hollow on Wild Horse Creek tiiera is the best kind of natural road all the way. It the route outlined above should be sur veyed and the final stakes located there the road would intersect the heart of the richest, largest and most fertile portion of the agricult ural districts of Umatilla county, as it would have fifteen miles of solid settlements on eith er side of the track throughout the whole dis tance. Grcasewood is already cultivated to the Summit, and over 200 locations have been made this summer on the Cold Spring Prairie, and from this time on there will be a stampede thither ss those who know every foot of that country, from Vansycle to the Umatilla farm, are giving it a thorough advertising in the press of the State. Furthermore, the location of the road over the route suggested, w ould facilitate the im ports and exportation of the products of the lich scope of country surrounding Ceuterville and Weston, for th.jse places havo to ship goods vp the river and receive them in & round about way, over the Blue Mountain road, where, as there would be a saving of time. distance and freights, if these places could snip to or from a point below them on the Col umbia river. A. F. P. PE.JLETX ITEMS. Pesdleton. Nov. 24. 18S0. Editors Litader: The snow on the hills is two inches deeD and seems to stand the warmth of the snn well. The weather is quite cold, and all tin. men hug something, if it is nothing but an overcoat. Umldinir still continues lin, the snow and frost tend to retard it. Th people of the Baptist church have built quite a neat parsonage; and we learn that the Kev. Win. rruett will probably ocennv the The M. E. Church has also built a parsonage. So it seems that the good people of Pendleton uon t expect their ministers to live without houses, snd subsist on the winds. In last week's Tribune, iu rentv to mn statements made by a correspondent, of the .leader, irom this place, I find the following: "We have failed to see anv exeitenutttt. ' about choosing city officers except among' two or three men like the Leader's informant.5' Well, now "bub" of the Tribune, is it true toat you did not see a largely attended mass meeting convene in the court house a few eveuings prior to the appearance of the cor respundenco mentioned, for the are wed pur pose of nominating city officers? Did you not sea honest men stand up in that meeting and ask the question as to whether they would be considered morally bound by the acts of the meeting if they remained present?- Did you not see a leading Republican stand up in that meeting and move that the Chair appoint a committee of ten whoae duty it should be to nominate city officers. Did you not see an esteemed citizen have the moral courasre to stand np in that meeting and say, "It may be tnat l was misinformed, but I understood that the ticket was all put np on the street corner and that we had nothing to do but come here and vote for that ticket? Don't vou knnw that the meeting, after considerable "jostling," aajournea witnout accomplishing the ot.ject for which it was called, and without agreeing to anything except to do an indefinite thing in an indefinite manner at an indefinite time? Don't you know that all these things tended to aud did create considerable excitement? If you do not know any of these things, please tell us, if you know, how much moonshine it will take to make a cow a bonnet. In conclusion I would suggest that the self- snflicient and far-seeing Tribune wiiuld be showing more wisdom to attribute "starry" correspondence to some other man than Mr. Walker; not that that gentleman is apt to cars whether it considers his acts "stsrry" or moony. No small amount of talk has been in dulged in as to whether or not our union of states is a nation. In this connection it worthy of remembrance, as showing the design of the founaors cf our govern ment, that when Alexander Hamilton proposed a strong government, after the model of Great Britain.. Oliver Ellsworth, of Connecticut afterwards Chiof Justice of the Supreme Court, moved, in Con vention, to strike out the word "national" from the Constitution, and it teas agreed to without debate. ' Gen. Schofield, it is rumored, is to be removed from his position at West Point, and Gen. Howard put in his place. It may be that the report of Gen. Schofield on the Whittaker cadet case is not satis factory. The report laid all the blame on Whittaker, the colored cadet, ond ex. onerated all the. white ones. It is well known that Gen. Howard is a warm friend and admirer of the jcolored man and brother. FHOM CECTEKTIUE. Cektebville, Nov. 24, 1S80. Editors Leader : There is a little talk of -starting a newspa per at this place, but we are inclined to think it will fail if we judge our business men right Messrs. Coppick and Adams are determined to keep up with the times, so tliey are having rustic put entirely around their large stable. The room belong to A. J. Lockard adjoin ing his store is being fitted up for a store-room also. ' . . : C. ' Mr. C. C. Myers began a writing school on Tuesday evening. It is said he has a good attendance. Judging: by his specimens we would say he is competent for his prolessiun. lne leoternlle Lyceum met last Friday; evening. After considerable discussion the question was submitted and decided that fire is more destructive. On next Saturday night they will proceed to discuss and decide the momentous question of the age ; and, they expect it to be a final decision for all time to come. The question is, Resolved, "That there is more pleasure in pursuit than possession." Leading disputants are Mr. Moore on the affirmative and Mr. Lee Howell on the negative. . , , : Since election it has been in ordei for those wishing office by appointment to be after it; and we find our little place is not without its silent worker. An intelligent hightoned, gentleman, has beeu trying to affect a change of postmasters at this place, but having neith er influence at home, or friends abroad, his arms were a little too short and the result is, that a certain would-be postmaster "hi.pin and trustin," as Naay would say, goes about with guilty downcast countenance. Sonny, our advice to you is hereafter, when you want a postoflice lot your friends work it np for you if you have any, if not, let it out W. T. Cook, our efficient postmaster,' is honest and faithful; he numbers as many friends among the Republicans as among the Democrats, and it is not likely that the pres ent feeble opposition to bim will succeed in giving him the "grand bounce." Doc Irvine contemplates a trip to La Grande during the coming holidays. We are ignorant as to the object of his visit, but suspect he is going to purchase machinery for his "Mills," which he. expects to have in operation, early in January next. s She said to the stately and anxious bachelor "six weeks." He said with lugubrious coun tenance and a deep sigh. "Oh ! that will be away along in December." Tableau closes. Our school is prospering under the control of Prof. C. P. Davis. I understand he has been employed for the next term beginning some time in the first of December. The school numbers now about 50 and is constant ly iucreasing. CmzEsl STATE KEY. S. The Dalles operator has left his office and many creditors. A party of immigrants lately settled in the vicinity of Wappito lake. David Holmes, of Polk county, has been committed to the Insane Asylum. Since the railroad is coining to Browusviil there is quite a business boom at that place. People having grain .tored along the nar row gauge road to Lebanon are impatient be cause they cannot move it away. W. C. Myer, the Btock breeder of Ashland, Jackson county, is thinking of removing to Eastern Washington Territory. .. ' Deer and bear have come down into the foothills earlier than usual this season, and some predict a cold Winter by reason of this fact. ' , . A good deal os Fall wheat has already been sown, and that which has made its appearance above the ground looks good enough. . " Harley, the assayor, still clings to the mud hole silver springs, and says they assay $8,000 to the ton, and believes they will prove a big thing yet. Mr. Brenner, of Albany, bought potatoes of Mr. Finlayson, to pay double price for them when Garfield was elected, and now he has discovered that potatoes has "rir." L. N. Liggett writes from Hackleman's ranch, Ochoco county, to the Albany Demo crat about turnips 30 to 35 inches arouud, and says they can raise anything there but a mort gage. We understand, says the democrat, that the Lebanon railroad has been a paying in vestment for its owners so far. It will have the effect of largely increasing the acreage sown to grain in the Santiam valley. U. P. Eoise, judge of the District, has gone Kast to attend the annual session of the Na tional Grange. When such men as Judge Boise give their time and talents to forward the interests of the Grange the final result cannot help being beneficial to our tanners. There is no community however pros perous but will at times feel the need of borrowing money. Ours is no exception to the rule. But owing to the action of the late lamented Legislature, those hav ing money to loan are indisposed to part with it on the terms it provided. It is an undeniable fact that nearly every one in our midst having any money to hire, avails himself of the more liberal law of the adjoining Territory on this point, and loan their money there This neces sitates those in need of the "needful" to go to Walla Walla for an accomodation. The extra expense thus incurred makes the price ef borrowed money a hardship to the people of our county, and a bene fit only to our neighbors. Besides this they will be obliged to pay their share of the loss arising from the reduced interest on the school fund. Thus it is a detri ment all around, with no redeeming feature iri it that we can see, unless it is to make a usury law so obnoxious that our next Legislature will wipe it from the Coda entirely. OUR WASIIINGTOX LETTER. Washington, D. C, Nov. 13. 1880, The return of the twelve tribes of Israel to Jerusalem will be nothing to'the inroad of politicians on Washington the coming winter. The movement has al ready begun and minor lights by the hundred and major luminaries by the dozen have put in an appearance. Among the .latter are the Hon. Win. Kasson. ' Minister to Austria, and Congressman sleet from Iowa, and Mr. Porter, Gov ernor elect ofTndiana. It is said that Mr.. Kasson has come ostensibly for the purpose of receiving orders from the State department previous to his departure for Europe, while wiseacres assert that it is solely to iay pipia and pull wires having the Speakership of the next Congress in view. It is thought that his chance is a pretty good one, but politics are very un certain just now. - As for the appearance of Governor elect Porter it is conceded that he has come here on general princi ples, as being the best thing he could do under the circumstances. The report of General Schofield in the case of Whittaker the West Point Cadet, the subject of an alleged assault meets the approval of army officers generally 'in this section. It will undoubtedly have the effect of preventing to any ex tent the appointment of colored cadets to the Military academy. The whole testi mony goes to show that the whole thing was a fabrication on the part of Whit taker and exonerates the cadets from vaj complicity in the matter. ffi The President and bia Cabinet have been at Fortress Monroe for the past few days to witness a review of the Navy in Hampton Reads although a very com olimentary account of; the aflair appears in the New York journals, yet it is a Bourse of dissatisfaction that our Navy is such as it is, useless for either offense or defense. It can neither run nor fight, being slow in speed and weak in the com ponents of warlike effeciency. . The blacks who were convicted of the murder of an inoffensive man by the name of Hirth will expiate their crime on the gallows next Friday. It was fear ed that Executive Clemency would be invoked to prevent their execution, but the President has declined that to inter fere except in the case of one whose sen tence has been commuted to imprison ment for life. It is a very fortunate thing for the safety of life and property in the District of Columbia that theae men are to be made a dead example of. Had such not been the case one's exis tence here would hardly be Worth the asking, as there are so many reckless men among the blacks in Washington who only want the opportunity to either rob or murder in order to take advan tage of it. The bronze statue of Admiral Farra gut executed by Mrs. Vinnie Ream Hoxie and erected on Farragut Square of this city will ba unveiled on the tenth day of December next There will be a larg-. attendance of the Naval Attaches to take part in the ceremonies. The approaching society season will be a long one, and promises to be remark able for gaiety as well. Lent does not begin until March 2d, but even then the season will not be considered closed, as so many cf our citizens do not observe that as an occasion for any special chango in their demeanor. Then again, a3 the inauguration takes place on the 4th of March, it is certain to be followed by festivities of various kinds, both public and private. Alreadyjalk is heard of an inauguration ball, and should it take place it will doubtless be one of the most splendid of its kind ever given here. As if in anticipation of what is coming, Pennsylvania avenue and all the fashson able up town streets already present a most animated appearance, filled as they are every fine day with elegant equipages, while the side walks are thronged with handsome men, beautiful richly dressed ladies, and lovely children, out for the enjoyment of such a climate as is pos sessed by no other city in this country and by few places in any part of the world.
