The most -objectionable work of the present Congress is the pas sage of the Tariff Commission bill, and one of the worst acts of the administration vis the manner in which the positions on the Com mission .lias been filled. There is nothing partisan about the ac tion of Congress, for each party is divided on this question ; the Dem ocrats will make political capital by showing that the Republicans, being in power, could have legis lated differently had they been so disposed. The revenues of the federal treasury are one hundred and'fifty million dollars in excess of the annual requirements, aud the' schemes ta absorb the surplus aro''dcveleping the most gross cor ruption. The people are over taxed, and relief is due them now, but 'they will not receive it. The whisky tax cannot be reduced be cause the whisky lobby is too pow erful to allow that until present stocks have been worked off which cannot be for several years.. All internal revenue, taxes cannot be abolished, because that would ne cessitate the dispersal of many thousands of active politicians and wire-pullers wh o are drawing sal salaries for the government, and looking after the political interests of the managers who keep them in office. The tariff cannot, be touched because it would prevent various favored capitalists from making a profit ranging all the wav from thirty to seventy-spven per cent per annum on their in vestments. ' Because of these strong but diverse inl-Tosts, there seems to have jteen a compro mise for the purpose of securing delay. The President might, to some extent, have neutralized the effect of this scheme by appointing'' the right sort of men as commissioners, but ho has done nothing of the sort. Host of them' are special advocates of protection to the in dustries they represent, who will naturally keep the tariff as high as they can. There is a te mblance of geographical distribution in the appointments, but thf Pacific coast is entirely ignored. The protective tariff is not designed to protoct anything so far away from the existing seat of political power, on the other side of the continent. We do not know that any line of business here is so weak that it cannol exist without protection, but if the profits of capitalists in the East are to be enhanced by legislation, so should the profits of Pacific Coast operators be in creased. There might have been chosen a commission ot men who were not advocates ol any theory or concernod in any protected in dustry, capable of looking at tho rights of consumers as well as those of manufacturers, and con sidering the welfare of the people as a whole, whose report would carry with'it respect, but there is nothing oT the kind. There is'tio need of any coin mission in order to find (nit that there should bo heavy reductions '. in the tariif, in order to savo the people from extortion and imposi tion. Whero protection, so called, is tho greatest, the profits are the largest and ' the exactions upon working people the greatest. Five million dollars paid out in wages, in steel works, returned to the proprietors a profit of some twenty millions; that is not the sort'of protection which can make the American people prosperous . or happy. Fifty per cent has - often been earned on capital in- .: j..VPs,:? n tne protected industries in New England. To maintain that, the Tariff Commission was created and has been "packed" bj' the President. Such facts as we -have alluded to'aro better known in most of the Eastern States than 'they areliere, nndjt is no wonder that the -workers are striking for higher pay and anxious to get a larger share of the benefits of the laws which are said to protect American labor.- There is no mystery about the causes of the discontont which pervades the country. If radical changes of tho tariff arc not effcotcd before tho next Presidential election, wc be lieve that the candidate who can be relied upon to stand by the people will be chosen, without re gard to the source of his nomina tion. The trifling and the dishon esty which Congress always shows on this subject, is . not going to last forever, and if reasonable mod ifications arc not granted -willingly, they will be obtained in a less satisfactory manner. What Xow. Axent the present immense immigration, the New York Truth is moved to sav: "It may well be qucstiniM-d whether the coming of as many a, one hundred thousand emigrants a month will prove beneficial in its effects. Land owners will be en riched wherever the emigrants settle, for lands always incroaso in value with the increase of popula tion, but workingmen will find it harder and harder to gain the means of subsistence. "When labor is striking all over tho conn try becauso rents and provisions are high and wages are low, the evil is likely to be inercasl by such a great inllux of foreigners. An increaso of a million a year is certainly more than we can asi milate. If it goes on we may be compelled lo take tno same measures against European emi gration that were recently taken against the Chinese." The Chinese come without wel come and leave without regret. The European is of our own race and assimilates here as tile waters of the Columbia blend impercepti bly with the groat currents of the Pacific. Hut a good mauy people are asking, "when is this thing going to stop?" Generally, they are those who got over here lately themselves. A ship left Astoria a few days since in ballast, bound for Puget Sound, to load a cargo of lumber for Australia. It is humiliating to think that this must be, and that our mills cannot furnish suf ficient lumber as well as wheat for export trade. Our citizens have done well this year in build ing barges and steamers, but let us exert ourselves a little morf and have another large saw-mill run ning by the new year. Tt should be done. - At a New Orleans entertain ment one of the tableaux is io be "King Arthur discovering tho re mains of his brothers." The brothers are supposed to be Mr. Conkling and Me Too.
