A Great Mistake.
President Arthur vetoed the
Chinese bill . yesterday. By so
doing tboTacific . Coast is lost to
the'Ref ublfcarf party at" the next
Presidential election. We speak
of facts that exist; that would ob
tain -whether they were com
mented upon or not. Every one
knows that the -Republican
Convention at Chicago in
1880 promised that something
should be done to stop this Chi
nese curse; everyone knows that
the Republican element in Con
gress did its best to defeat tho bill,
and crawfished in 1882 from what
thoy promised in 18S0. Every
one knows that had it not been for
the Democrats that tho bill
wouldn't havo passed; everyone
also knows that -this Chinese ques
tion was THE QUESTION at the
last presidential election; that
it was tho Morey letter
that carried .Nevada and California
for Hancock, and now to further
stultify tho party, tho President
vetoes tho Hill. No matter now
whether Congress passes tho bill
over bis veto or not, the mischief is
done,and tho Democrats have capi
tal enough in this silly business
"to carry the coast in '84.
In making up the returns tho Re
publican party leaders can trans
fer California, Oregon and Nevada
to the Democratic columns in the
next national fight. '
Necessary Legislation.
In conformity with our present
assessment law, says the Roseburg
Independent, each party is allowed
to deduct- from tiio valuo of bis
taxable, property the amount of
his indebtedness within the state;
in cousequenco of which, a large
proportion of the real estate in
most counties" pays' no tax into the
county treasury in which the same
is situated as most all extensive
money lenders or their agents, who
take mortgages on these lands to
securcthe payments of thor loans,
reside in Portland. Under our
present law theso holders of real
estate mortgages pay no taxes in
the county where they make
tho loan;, and in manv cases bv
somo pretense or other, escape
paying taxes on a large share of
their notes and mortgages in the
county where they do reside. The
result'h, that nearly all agricultu
ral, counties of the state contain
thousands of acres of land which
contribute nothing towards build
ing roads or defraying other
county expenses. Tho poor man
is tho loser,, nsuallv, -as he has to
make up tho deficiency out of his
scanty means.
Our asaessment laws should be
mended at tho next session of
our legislature so that each acre of
land will pay taxes in the county
where situated, which can easily
bo effected, without injury to the
borrower or mortgagor, by simply
requiring all moneys loaned on
real estate mortgages to be as
sessed inithe county where thoso
instruments, are now required to
be recorded or where the loan is
made. The people in selecting
candidates for tho next legislature
hould see that none aro nomi
nated except thoso who are in
favor of equal taxation and a just
system of assessment .that will re
quire the capitalists as well as the
small property owner to assist in
defraying the expenses of our lo
cal government.
Tho South Doesn't 'eed it.
The Galveston News is moved
to say that much relief may bo ob
tained for the anxious minds of
southern Democratic editors con
fronted at their very doors with
influential manufacturing interests,
if they will merely, open their eyes
to the fact that these interests, as
a rule, do not need the protective
tariff, but would eventually be
greatly'benefitted by an anti-protection
and liberal trade polioy.
Tho protection of the present tariff
system lias alwavs been of a
very stepmotherly character, as
the south wore concerned. The
children of its natural maternity
and true affection were elsewhere,
and, pampered and overgrown,
they have lorded over the "infant,"
stunted, ragged industries of the
south with a ruthless hand. Sweep '
away the protective tariff, lavc
men free from all needless "re
straints as to production and ex
change, and cheapen this way ma
chinery and other essential ele
ments of manufacturing enter
prises located in contiguity to
places whero the raw material is
produced, and such enterprises
will enjoy the best of all protec
tion in tho natural advantages of
their situation and surroundings.
Given these conditions they will
soon bo ablo to defy competition
froni abroad, to command tho
market at homo, and gradually to
expand until, in many of the
staple commodities of commerce,
southern manufacturers will lead
tho world.
A -well-known protectionist, in
a recent lecture in Brooklyn, de
claring that the American larnii-r
"produces forty per cont. moie
than enough for us," asked, "where
would the farmer bo if we dirt not
havo a manufacturing population?"
The answer is that he would prob
ably be, in the same place with
more than forty per cent, of his
productions for sale abroad. But
nno question suggests another.
What should become of the Ameri
can farmer if England should im
pose a prohibitory tariff on'Ameri
can breadstuff's? Free trade Eng
land is the best customer we have,
buying two thirds of what we
sell abroad, but as she buys
three times as much from other
nations, she could drop us entirely
at less cost to hersoll than to us.
It is very pleasant to bo protected
at home from foreign competition
and at tho same time sell to a free
trade nation, thereby occupying a
sort of a "heads 1 win, tails you
lose" positicfn; but it may not last
forever. A little application to
ui by England "of a doso of our
own medicine would soon open
the eyes of tho farmer when, in
addition to paying exorbitant
prices for the coat which covers
him by day and tho blanket that
shelters him at night, he finds him
self cut off from an open market
for his surplus breadstuff-, and
provisions.
