J. II. BUUNS, Concluttor." ULOVEH AMI Jllr. HUM II Tilt AT I The existing duties on leather glove are all specific, and lange from $1.75 to It 73 'r dozen pairs, With addillou of ftoio 41) cents to 11.00 for lining and peculuiitie of Htlch and ornamentation. Theae rates are not experimental, nor ol doubtful necessity. They are the re sult of experience ripened to matur ity uuder preceediug taritf laws, coupled with thorough study and exhaustive discussion of all the con ditlous of glove manufacture here and abroad. Their avowed piiriae is to afford protection to American glove manufacture, but that tie pro tection given ia not excesaive nor prohibitory la abundantly shown by the flourishing condition of the trade In foreign gloves In this market. The principal .Kuropuan manufacturers have long miiinlHined branch houses here, and their business grow In spite of tho tariff. Hitch being the rase, It is "up to" those who wank Ihe French treaty confirmed to give an adequate reason for the reduction of Hie duty on leather glove. No such reason has been given, and we believe that none can he given. The plea that one manufacturer ought to be willing to lose a part of his business in order to help. another manufacturer lo get more business which waa voiced in anvil chorus by ultra reciprocators and free traders previous to the reel procity convention lias gone the proper way of the sophistical rub bish that It was. The only plea like ly now to Isi used ia that the propos. ed reduction of duty la "such a little one." IION. THOS. -A pry--,.??'.; ; . Reelected for the fourth Yea, it is only one-tenth, say, from 25 to GO cents per dozen. Further more, it only applies to one country, France. But if such a concession he made to France will not England and Germany demand similar Ireat ment? We import many gloves from both countries. Plainly, the great advantage given to French gloves would cause a demand for It exten sion, and wo could not consistently refuse it. One tenth 1 not much, but in this case it is a very Important Integer of the whole. One-tenth the height of a levee or embankment against' a flood inav not lie much, but a far smaller opeiilng has caused a ruinous Inundation. American glove manu facturers would feel tha reduction moat acutely on fine kid gloves, It is this class of tho business that has been moat difficult to establish here on a paying basis. The pn judiceln favor of foreign goods was general and almost immovable. Most of the leather had to be Imported. The highest skill was necessary in all parts of the work, and io cutting, particularly, those engaged in the art have been able to maintain wages at a high figure. We doubt if any in dustry can tie named in which the contrast between American and Kuropean particularly continental wages ia greater than In kid gloves. Under Ihe present duties Ameri can t; 'overs have demonstrated their ability to make the Quest grades of good and they have shown exqui site taste aa well as the first order of mechanical skill. This has liven achieved because tha tariff made it ' ' (6 l ' ' worth while. Obviously if the coat entailed wa such that the goxsls thus produced could not tie sold in competition with imported gloves the manufacture could not continue. It i to the advantage of the country to encourage the highest class of work here in order that the rewards to our artisans may be as large as possible. Again, kid gloves are a luxury, and as such tall naturally into the category of goods that should bear the highest ratea of duty. To bum up, then, there la no reason for cut ting down the glove duties, while there is aound reason on all hands for maintaining them aa they now are. THE STATE F11B THIS l'ALU What will Washington county do at the state fair? Thia will depend on the interest each Individual will take in furnishing products of the soil and by carefully cultivating that which may appear particularly promising. No one need fear that our county istnnot carry off the first prixe tor agricultural products over every other county of the state pro vided proper efforts be made, for none can compare with the quality of our soil. , Heretofore the county exhibit has been collected by one or two men, who for want of time, and without the slightest pretense to special cul tivation, took that which was near est at hand and at random, anJ not knowing where to loof for specimens frequently passed by better than waa taken. While In this haphazard way of collecting the exhibit we have al- H. TONGUE. time by increaaed majority. way taken a prise, but not the first, it can readily be seen what we could do, and the object of this article Is to forcibly suggest to each and every individual of this county to appoint himself a committee of one to plant, cultivate and produce something for the state fair this fall, give II good, rich soli and extra cultivation and you can be assured that Washington county's anil and Oregon's rain and sunshine will do the rest and pro duce such as cannot be duplicated elsewhere. When this has been done you certainly will have some thing of Interest to report to the committee having the exhibit in charge to whom you ran simply drop a card stating that you have something for the state fair and some member of the committee will call for same and label them as your product. If you should not be for tunate enough to have something of your own and see something of mer it belonging to your neighbor, in duce him to present the same to the committee. Don't make the mis take that has been responsible for our only partial, success, which is "someone w ill have something bet ter." In this way abundance of beautiful specimens are lost. Let the committee judge aa to their worth by comparison, since this is tha only method by which we van secure the bet. Take the time and care to save any good specimens you may have produced and you will be surprised at its apppearance when properly arranged for exhibit along with others of its class, and it will be Vontinmed ou third page.
