Frank Hurd, the free trade congressman irom OhiOj thinks the attitude of the protectionists in congress just now "presents some ridiculous features. In an interview this morning he said ''Here we see, for instance, protec tionists m the house and senate clamoring for retaliatory measures against uermany oeoause mat coun try has seen fit to adopt the Ameri can system of protection for its hog products, in order to give common farmers and stock raisers better prices tor their products than they could obtain if brought in competition with the hogs of the united States. "On the other hand here is Mexico anxious to take all the raw material and manufactured articles that we caii send them, the only stipulation being that jwe shall not levy any duty upon Mexican raw materials or man ufactures. Almost the only manu factured article that Mexico can send us is sugar. The protectionists are now using every exertion to defeat the reciprocity treaty upon the ground that the introduction of Mexican'free sugar will destroy the .production of American sugar. What a' spectacle the United States must present to an intelligent foreigner! r can imaeine such a person contem plating the attitude of the protec tionists in congress, and wondering what would possibly satisfy the American peopla If foreign coun fries adopt the American system of protection, statesmen in congress aro indignant, and call for retaliatory measures. If the country asks for reciprocity, for mutual free trade, upon a basis which will help both countries, the protectionists are equally indignant on the same ground that it would destroy our industries." In response to a question as to what he intended to do about it, Mr. Hurd said: "I propose simply to mike manifest the absurdity of the protectionist theory, as applied to the case in instance now before con gress. I want to see consistency. There is no middle ground. If pro tection is right for this country, then the protectionists must admit that it is right for every other country and they cannot be justified in complain ing because Germany administers to them a dose of their own medicine. Ti wo want to sell our surplus prod ucts to other countries we must give them an opportunity to sell their goods to us with as little embarrass ment as may be. Our ooinmittee on ways and means will try to do some thing to obliterate the absurdities of the present tariff system, and unless lam greatly deprive! the tariffjjiil which we shall report will be one which the intelligent business inter ests of the country will approve." j m What Gould Thinks. New Toek, Jan. 17. Jay Gould be ing interviewed on several topics. Said: ''The Northern Pacific is all well enough. The projectors of the enterprise are the ones to blame. In the first place, Villard is a man un Jniown in railroad circles, who at tempted to engineer the construction of this gigantic thoroughfare, of whose cost neither he nor any of the interested parties had a correct idea. As anaitiial consequence, the com pany found itself, even before the completion"bf the road, saddled with floating debt of $18,000,000 or more, in addition to bonds issued. Of course the creditors soon began to .'clamor for .their money. It was not forthcoming, and there was but one ending, disaster. I think the North .ern Pacific itself, as soon as its local business can be developed, will be fiome exceedingly valuable property. How it could have cost so much I cannot understand. We built the TSouthwtern system about the same itime for20,000 per mile. The .Nortn- ;ern Pacific cost, I believe, $25,000 per 'mile at first; and in addition to this $18,OCO,000 in secondary mortgage tbonds were issued to finish and equip ihe road. Ignorance of its cost on ""the part of the projectors, was the cause of the Northern Pacific col- Tlapse. I, Suicide at Salem. SaiiEM, Jan. 17. A man whose name was registered as John Blaik commit ted suicide at the Beed house to-day ' by strangulation. He came up from Portland last Saturday evening, and " engaged board and room. On Mon day last Tie took an overdose of chloral hydrate, and Dr. Kinney's services alone saved him from death at that time. Since then he took his meals regularly until to-day, and drank but twice at the bar. He did not come down to breakfast or dinner to-day, and about 6 o'clock this evening his bedroom door was forced open, and he was found lying on the floor with hwieet against the door. An ordin ary bed cord was tied around his throat in, a peculiar knot which pre vented its' slipping, and an end was , tightly "grasped in each hand, which he tightened sufficiently to cause strangulation and embedded the cord some distance into the flesh. Life was extinct Coming Events. Sak Fbancisco, Jan. 17. A letter from Port Orford, Oregon, published last evening, stated that Jay Gould had -purchased a large water front - tract at that place. Captain Tichnor, a large property owner at Port Or ford, at present in this city, stated to day to an Associated Press represen- - tative that the announcement was f premature. Negotiations have been going on with eastern capitalists for - the sale to them of a large water front- age and other property, but nothing as yet has been consumated. The object, as stated, is to connect Port Orford, which has a good summer harbor, by rail with the Oregon and California railroad, making it an out let for the graia trade and other pro dacts'bf southern Oregon and north ern California.

There are a number of theories for the origin of the Amer ican dollar. One is that it is a com bination of U. S., the initials of the United States; another, that it is a modification of the figure 8, the dollar being formerly called a "piece of eight," and designated by the char acter of 8 8. The third theory is that it is a combination of H. S.. the mark of the Roman unit, while the fourth is that it is a combination of P. and S., from the Spanish '"peso dura," which signifies "hard dollar.'' In Spanish accounts "peso" is contracted by writing the S. over the P. and placing it over the sum. But the best origin of the sign is offered by the editor of the London Whitehall Review, who once propounded the question at a dinner party, at which the American consul was present. As no one could tell, the editor gave the following explana explana teon: "It is taken from the Spanish dollar, and the sign is to be found, of course, in associations of the Spanish dollar. On the reverse of the coin is a representation of the pillars of Hercule3, and round each pillar is a scroll, with inscription 'Plus Ultra.' This device in course of time has degenerated into the sign which stands at present for the American as well as Spanish dollars 8. The scroll around the pillars represents the two serpents sent by Juno to destroy Hercules in his cradle." Private advices received here from responsible sources in New York con tain" assurances that all rumors to the effect that a receiver is to lie applied for on account of Oregon and Trans continental are unwarranted and false. The rumors are started mainly for stock jobbing purposes. There is no material obligation of the company unpaid, and th company has suffi cient funds to meet all maturing obll gations. Oreyonian.
