Our neighbor, the Argus, I evl
dently chargrined that he was caught
gaxlng at prosperity's procession. He
loes not exactly deny ihat one town
in the state, Heppner, will receive
1200,000 this year more than was
taken In last year, but he tries to
throw discredit upon Mr. Black-
man's report of the prosperity of that
section by charging that Mr. Block-
man Is a Carlhle democrat. How
that Is going to effect the fact of pros
perity is not clear unless the editor
supposed that'lMie charged Carlisle
democracy upon hJUn. tljew: public
would not believe hi reort of pros
perity. Last week the' Ixdf.pkhu-

fact he had to. acknowledge that
limes are better than they were es
pecially In his old home. While In
Portland this week special Inquiry
was made touching the politics of the
gentleman. Alii agreed In saying
that he supported Bryan, and .some
were not choice in their words fir he
is an appointee of Mr. Cleveland,
and they thought he in all po'itlcal
houesty ought to loyally support
(he administration that gave him of
fice. Others thought he might have
teen hedging looking ahead to Ihe
election In '98 when hi senatorial
district will choose a senator to the
'tat legislature. To illustrate one
man related Ihat In 188.S, Blackmail
wagered 3200 on Cleveland's election.
He came down to Portland and boast
ed to some extent how much he
would win on Ihe election. ' Sol

personal friends though political op
ponents, took him to his private of

mat ne nail made het that were
based on a "local market" and a

to hedge lay wager on Harrison's

It i suggested that the 1'ingley
bill oe amended by the Incorporation
in It off discriminating duties so as to
brotect American ships. This i a
logical suggestion.
The first tariff act of the United
States contained a discriminating
duty proviso. Every general tariff
act since then has; contained a slmil
lar proviso. The tariff act of 1883,
the McKinley bill and the Wilson-
Oorman bill all contained a discrim
inating duty proviso. It still is to
be found in sectious 16 and 17 of the
Dlngley bill. But It benefit have
been nullified by treatise and acta of
congress, a shown in those ana in
Ihe subsequent section.
The republican party has prom
ised to adopt the early American
policy of discriminating duties and
the people have Indorsed that prom
ise. The Elklna bill would redeem
tbat tpromlse, if it were substituted
for sections 16, 17 and 13 of the
Dlngley bill.
Whenever discriminating duties
are adopted, they will be a part of
the tariff. It is loglcat, wise, coura
geous and patriotic to place them in
the tariff act while tbat act Is being
framed. It would be Illogical, on-
wise and unpatriotic to defer doing
so until another time, when It may
be too late.
The new tariff Is the Inevitable
place for the Elkins bill and the
time to place It there is now, while it
will not disturb or unsettle the tariff.
But any attempt to amend the tariff
act, after It la In successful operation,
would be vigorously opposed. The
Dlngley bill Is the logical and neces
sary place for the J-Jkins bill, and
the prosperity tbat Is expected will
not be fully restored until both are a
part of our laws. They belong to
gether and should go together.
American Economist,
The manufacturers and employee
engaged in the output of gold lewf,
silver leaf, aluminum leaf, and 1 Hitch
metal, which U a composition leaf,
have petitioned the United Stales
Seuate to afford protection to their
industries by specific duties. The
slition show that the ad valorem
rates of the existing Gorman-Wilsou
Tariff have reduced the wage of
gold leaf workers from 115 down to
IS per week, of the silver leaf work
er from 112 to 114 per week down to
nothing, because all the factories are
closed, and of the aluminum leaf
workers from 112 to lit down to
and IS per week. The wage of the
girls working in these industries have
len reduced about one-half; more
over, the factories have been running
only about two thirds time since 1894
owing to the general depression in
business brought about by the ex
isting law. The request for a restor
ation of th McKinley rates of 1810 ,
or their equivalent in specific rates,
should be granted without hesitation .

Alaska cedar is the best wood In the

the subject of Alaska timber it
might be well to state that no tuna,

Another Oregon paper baa broken
out on the subject of tea and the tar
iff. The Eugene Ouard says:
"User of tea are experlenceinr the
blessings of a tariff, and have about
come to the conclusion that the con
sumer, Instead of the producer, pays
the tax. The tea Importers are. not
waiting for the new tariff of 10 cents
pound to go Into effect, but have
advanced prices 3 to t ceuts a poOod.
The teadrinker has found out who
pays the lax." The Ouard evident
ly cousiders this an argument
against a protective tariff. Th fact
is that the question whether the con
sumer pays the tax or not Is wot con
cerned in the tariff on tea in any re
spect. Tariff on tea and coffee are
levied for the purpose of revenue

"If the new tariff bill passes con.
grcss as It has been reported to the
senate, the revenue resulting from
the duty on tea alone is exiected to
reach 110,000,000. Poor people must
give up such an expensive luxury as
tea in the coming days of high tariff
prosperity." This Is from the H use
burg Review, a paper that hereto
fore ha favored free trade and now
when it gets one item it is dissatis
fied. Would matter be mended ny
imposing a duty on coff.-e, too? Free
trade lay duties on those imports
tbat enter largest into consumption
and are not produced here. No oue
has a right to complain of that tea
duty except protectionists.
By reading the democratic papers
of tb enintry, oue Is led to believe
tbat the Dingley tariff bill would be
a very bad thing for the republicans.
But then the actions of the democrats

and show the utter inconsistency of
such claims. If they actuallythought

In general it may be said that on

reduction of duties. The discrimi
nation may help Hritlsh interests as
to textile goods and some other mis
cellaneous manufacturers, and it will
not lie over lioked at Washington
that the deliberate intention of this
tariff Is to restrict trade with this
country and bring In Hritish goods.

infloence when the question arises

has been remarkably favorable for
th growth of corn. Potato planting
is about finished, except lo portions
pf the coast counties. Early planted
potatoes are being cultivated. Gar
dens ate all showing rapid growth,
and peas ar plentiful in the market.
Strawberries ar ripening rapidly, es
pecially in the southern counties.
Gooseberries aud currants are in the
markets.
Tb condition ot the fruit is really
hard to determine. Some correson
denls report that the cherry crop
will be short, but that apples, pears,
prunes, etc., will be a heavy crop;
others report tbat tbe frosts of the 6th
Inst, injured prunes, but nothing
else. It Is thought tbat as a rule,
and the section as a whole, that Ihe
fruit crop will be heavy. In some
portions Italian prunes have been
somewhat Injured by the frost, In
others the cherries, In others winter
apples; but there is no general report
of Injury to any single variety of
fruit, except possibly to Italian
prunes; other varieties of prunes ap
pear to be uninjured. The injury
from the frost ia confined principally
to the northern portion of the Will
amette Valey. borne correspondents
especially those lu Douglas, Joseph
ine, and Jackson counties, report
that fruit will have to be thinned out
by hand, for tbe tree are too much
laden. The present condition might
be briefly summed up: Grain, grass,
stock, garden products, never more
promising; truit above the average
except Italian and French pruner,
and in portions cherries, which will
not be an average crop.
