FKIDAY, OCTOBKU 2, 1900. THE AMERICAS SYSTEM ASD THE ESUL1SU. There tin always been a sharp cim - trat between l he American yiteto of collecting revenue fur dtfraylag the expense of admlniaterlnir the government and the English.. W have laid duties on import with view of protecting our douieatlc Id dudirlea, while our neighbor have laid duties so as to produce the most revenue, paying no aMeniioo to low they will effect the home aealth pro ducers. In the race of the two na lions, England realises (hat the United States is worsting ber. Only few weeks ago, the EngtUb cabinet went to pieces on the tariff question Chamberlain sees merit In the Amer lean system, and wanted to adoj, some at least of our Ideas, while Bsl four ol'jecled. Chamberlain and hi friends reaigned. Balfour has not yet filled their elation?, and, indeed U fluiling itno easy matter to do so. The public press is diHCusslng the policy upon which the two statesmen divided. It is probable, too, that an apptal to the country will hare to be made. Diitcuiwlng the Issue, the London Telegraph, of September 9th, has long editorial that is a bit of interest log literature, relative to the tariff debates that will claim attention In both countries within the next year The Londou editor says: A century ago about 4,000,000 white people lived In the United States, or approximately as many as live at present la Bulgaria. At that time Great Britain had 17,000,000 In habitants, and In wealth the United mutes stood In about the same tela tlon to Great Britain as Bulgaria oc cupies at the preseot day. Since then the relative position has greatly altered. At present the United States bare about 80,000,000 inhabi tant, as compared with only 42,000,- 000 inhabitants of tbee (stands, and the United States are unquestionably "the luortt powerful, the moat pre per ouh, and Industrially the most pro gressive country in the world. Such progress in power, wealth 'and numbers stands unparalleled and unapproached In the history of man kind, and it should afford cause fur serious reflection to all who deiire to see a similarly rplendld development of the British Empire In the future. It has often been asserted by prom inent Americans that the enormous progress of their country was as much due to Its fiscal policy as to its vast natural resources. The moment appears opportune, therefore, to in vestigate the fiscal policy of the United States, so that we may learn from their example. Though all civilis countries, ex cepting Great Britain, have taken up Protection, it would be rash to con elude that Protection was also the more popular policy, for we must not forget that continental nations are ruled either by bureaucratic gov- ernments or by personal monarchy, subject to Parliamentary criticism. The rulers may be, and In some cases assuredly are, to great extent, out of touch with the people. Therefore, it might be contended by Free- Traders that the fiscal policy of Ger many and France is directed by the few for the benefit of the few, and to the harm of the broad masses of the people. As the United States pot sew, and have alwsys possessed, the moat democratic government In 'the world, they cannot be suepected of having, for more than a century, fol lowed a fiscal policy, which, accord ing to the British Free-Trailer, robs the masses for the benefit of lhr capi talist. Therefore, the fiscal policy of the Uuitrd States have maintain ed Protection for more than cen tury proves Its popularity with dem ocracy, and disproves some of the declamations of the Free-Trade thro ris's. in E.agiisn books or history we read that we lost our North Ameri can Colonies bt cause we taxed them sgaiust their will; from American sources of history we learn that the American Colonies shook Ui i selves free, not for this cause, onlj, but also because they were not allowed to protect and develop their own indus tries, and it seems that the Ameri can explanation is the correct one. Sum. Otherwise, the United State would always remain a poor and backward agricultural country. B. J. Pengra a uoted figure in Lane county J led last wok at an advanced age. It la claimed be published the first republlcau paper in the slat, the Eugene Journal now owned and edited by Ex.-Sec. of State Klncaid Pengra'e life work waa to promote the building of a railroad from Port land to Ban Francisco.

The Unions are also great uph jl'iirsof the law, I hst Is if they make the law, and it favors their side. Some of tho briuhiest and best men on the labor side ot the contro versy take the stand that President Roosevelt is right, and it soems to be merely a trick on the part of political opponents to endeavor lo gut the la bor people tangled up in the next campaign.

It is gem. we ask no man's permission when we require him to obey the law neuner we permission or the poor man nor yet of the rich mad. Least of all can the mau of great wealth af ford to break the law, even for his own financial advantage, for the law is his prop and support, and it is both foolish and profoundly unpat riotlc for him to fail to give hearty support lo those who show that there Is in every fsct one law, and one law only, alike for the rich and poor, the great and the small." YIKTltS OF IEVY TAX LAW. Long before the seceosion of our olJ Colonies, the constant complaint of the North American producers had been that their Industries were f trangled by the free Importation of manufactured goods from England. Therefore-, it came about that Ihe conviction waa firmly Implanted In the minds of Ihe founders of the United States that native Industrie should tie encouraged, fostered ami promoted by the Protection of the The virtue of the new tax law Is shown In the fact that the total as sessment of Ihe state of Oregon this year will reach 1176,900,000, com pared with 1150,000,000 last year. Lntli the uew law was passed, and hich was framed by Senator Booth, of Lane county, the counties vied with each other In seeing which could reduce Its assessment lovest In order to escape state taxes, ontll the slatf ' t tl assessable property was reduced from $168,000,000 In 1893 to $117,000,000 in 1900. ' ' During the legislative session 1901 the Booth bill was passed which pro vides that state taxes shall be appor tioned among Ihe counties at a fixed ratio. The beneuficlal results of the new law were sn at once when the assesnmenl of 1901 was $141,000,000, and in 1902 it bad grown lo $143,000, 000, and each county was paying its exact proportion of state taxes In stead of some counties, especially Multnomah, shirking payment of their rightful part In supjort of state government. The new tax law has been of more benefit to the state than any other measure paved by the legislature for years. By degrees the taxable property f Oregon is reaching the figure It should and the state levy wHI de- rreawin proportion. Ea ene R"g-! jslrr.

Melien who has been at the head of the operating department of the North Pacific railroad, has re signed and is lo be president of Connecticut road. His successor has not yet been named. Several have been suggested. There is Bunn a favorite with J. J. Hill but his se lection is not favorably commented on by N.

He comes from another company and would be unprejudiced es between "w i-u luwin. iuuu mere is iooper i preseut general manager of th N. P. who might be advanded to Ihe presidency. He would be an active promoter of N. P. interests but per haps for that very reason ho will be most unlikely lo get the raise.
