Our tariff is a system of duties paid at our Custom houses in money on goods brought into the country fronrforeign countries. The objects of tariff are twofold. (1.) One object is to raise ' money to carry on our government. This is a good object. (2.) The second object is to keep out of our country certain foreign goods, so as to induce men to make them in this country. Let us see in what way this ob ject is attained, and whether the result is good or bad for the American farmer. Of course, says the Free Trade Bulletin, our people who want a certain kind of goods must either buy them abroad or make them at home; and it is an inducement to make and sell them here, if the goods brought in from abroad are taxed by duties, while the goods made here are not taxed. This is a simple statement of what is called the doctrine of protection of home industry. To change that statement a little, the tariff duties which keep out, or tend to keep out, foreign goods, allows our manufacturers to sell their goods without foreign competition, and, therefore, at higher prices; and if the manufacturers can get higher prices from our people, they will, of course, be willing to make the goods for which high prices are. to be paid. Now, who gets the benefit, and who suffers the harm of these high prices? The man who gets the benefit is surely the maker of the goods, who sells them at the high price; and the man who suf fers the harm is the buyer of the high-priped goods. Such a man is the farmer. Let us give a very simple exam ple. A pocketknife could be brought over from Sheffield, in England, and sold in Chicago, if there was no tariff tax, for, say, thirty-five cents. Hut the import er find be "protected." The price of grain is fixed in the world's market and caTinot be ruled by the tariff of any particular country. For whose benefit, then, is the tariff of this country maintained? The manufacturers may profit b such an unjust arrangement, but certainly the farmer does not. Tie is taxed that others may grow rich. This is the whole tariff question in a nutshell, so far as it bears upon our farmers. Is it not about time that the farmers cracked the nut, and got his fair share of the kernel. Wanted. V 1'K Ix. Cannerv in isritt-li Columbia, ben ices required at :ice.

Recently a memorial was in troduced in the lower liouso of the Washington Territory, reciting in general terms the fact that there was no present indication that it was the intention of the N. P. II. R. Co. to construct the Cascade branch of that road, and praying congress to vacate the land grant heretofore granted to tin N. P. R. for the purpose of con structing said Cascade branch. The memorial passed the lower house "by a large majority," but was killed in the council. "The only ostensible reason" say: the New Tacoma Ledger, "which we have heard of as having been given, is that the people of Puget Sound are in no condition to make any demands upon the N. P. R. li. Company." We wonder what reason will be given the people of this place that the grant of land from rorest Grove to Astoria should not be declared forfeited. Tt certainly cannot be anything like the inso lent one given the people of the Sound. REAL ESTATE AUCTION SALE. Valuable Building Lots in Shive-j t ly's Astoria. Friflay, Hoy. 18111, at 11 A. I.

Therefore, to make a profit, a knife must evidently sell for thirty-five dents, plus fifteen cents, that is to say, fifty cents, when it reaches Chicago. Now, seeing this, the American maker of pocket-knives say.s to himself: I can make thy knife at a cost of thirty-five cents. J will then take my knife to Chicago, and as there is a tariff tax of fifteen cents on the Sheffield knife, but not on mine. I can sell my knife for forty live cents, and.still make a profit. He does so, and the farmer who wants to buy :i knife at Chicago finds that lift must do one of the two things, either buy the Shef field knife for fifty cenN or the American knife for forty-five cents. In the first case, the tariff has made the farmer pay fifteen sents extra, which has gone to .support the government; in the cecond case, the farmer has paid ten cents extra, which goes into the pocket of the maker of the American knife. But, presently, the man who brought over the Sheffield knife finds that he cannot pay the tax of fifteen cents and compete with the American knife maker, who pays no tax at all. So he imports few or none of the Sheffield knives, and the American maker is left with a clear field. The govern ment is consequently deprived of revenue, and the poor farmer must pay what prices the American knife maker chooses to exact.'. Now, let the farmer reflect that this American knife, which he has paid so high and unnecessary a price for,- is the symbol of almost all the goods which he buv.s for his firm and housphnlrl $ sUJek e 0A.A Uom Land ami Ruil- iMrm ana uousenota. mng As-soclotion of Astoria.

Tin: New Orleans Democrat tells of a place in the Gulf of Mexico between the mouth or the Mississippi and Galveston, about ten or fifteen miles to the south west of Sabine Pass, which is commonly called "the Oil Ponds1 by the captains of the small crafts that ply in that iocality. There is no land within fifteen miles, and yet such is the effect of the oil thus cast upon the waters by the lavish hand of nature that even in severest storms the sea in the Oil Ponds is comparatively -smooth, and so well is this known that when the mall vessels that trade between Calcasieu, Orange, Sa bine, Beaumont and Galveston fail to make a harbor at Galveston or Sabine, they run off for th oil wells, let go their anchors and ride out the gale safely. The oil covers the water in a thick scum and ap parently rises from the bed of th gulf, which at that point is not more than fifteen or eighteen led below the surface. A similar 11:1- ! tural phenomenon is obsetvabic off the California coa.t below Point Conception, where oil from sub marine .spring- covers with an iridiscent film the surface of the water, and however rough the weather, keeps a perpetual calm for twelve or fourteen miles.
