An inquiry is addreesed to the Oreiron-
ian by a pereonwho read its remarks of
yesterday on "Loes of the carrying
Trade.” The inquiry is as follows, via:
Since we produce all materials that enter into
shipbuilding, vis: timber, iron, etc., I am at loss
to determine wbat you reler to by remarking;
"But such are the duties levied on materials
that go into shipbuilding," etc. Will you please
explain In what manner »aid duties are levied
on home-produced materials?
«
Ttiis inquirer is misled by his own
confusion of terms. Though duties are
not levied on home-produced materials
that enter into shipbuilding, yet the cost
of such materials are enormously in­
creased by our system of protection. We
refuse to let in the foreign article, but in­
vite the producer of the home article to
make tbe price excessive, and “pro­
tect” him in doing so. Just as our tariff
on steel rails increases the cost of all
steel rail« in this country, whe'her im­
ported or produced here, so our tariff on
shipbuilding materiels increases the cost
of all materials of this class. Herein is
one of the causes why shipbuilders of
the United States cannot compete with
those of other countries. That we have
in our country all necessary shipbuild­
ing materials is a bootless boast, so long
as our tariff policy makes them so costly
that we cannot use them.
A duty ought to be laid on these arti­
cles which will produce a clear revenue
at least for collection.

Sugar is one of these.

It
is a tax for revenue, and is directly
opposea in principle and effect to a duty
imposed for protection.—Oregonian, Feb.
24, 1881-
The reduction of the revenue on sugar
proposed by the bill is $11,759,799, and
excepting the woolen schedule, is nearly
twice as much as are all others combined.

But on correct prin­
ciples of taxation there ought to be a
higher duty on sugar than on any other
article on the dutiable list.—Roger .Q.

can fives to frauds and so defeating the
object. Another thing, if we strike off
the one hundred millions of revenue an
nnally obtained by the national treaaerv
through these taxes, then no modifica­
tion of the tariff on imports will be pen­
si ble. There is a tax on the necessari m
of life amounting to probably $500,000.-
000 a year, which is paid by consumers,
of which, however, only about one-third
goes into the national treasury, while the
other two-thirds are divided as special
bounties among favored individuals and
corporation». Free trade in these neces­
sary commodities is not expected or de­
sired, but a reasonable modification and
and reduction of the rates of duty ought
to be granted. At any rate, whisky and
tobacco ought not be the only free arti­
cles which the American citizen is
allowed to buy and consume.
and means committee have been induced
to advance the rate by a statement from
I’ittsburg to the effect that if congress
will sufficiently protect the tin-plate in­
dustry “it will provide a livelihood for a I
large number of people.” But why
should our industry here be taxed to
create an industry at Pittsburg? Is it I
fair ? The Chicago Times states the ease
for us when it says: “If it will not pay
to make tin plates without protection, it
is because men can do better at some­
thing else and for no other reason that it
is possible toassign. It is much the bet­
ter way to let men do things at which
they can make a living without taxing
their neighbors. To take them from do­
ing those things and set them at things
at which they cannot earn a living with­
out the help of taxes paid by their neigh­
bors, is the same thing essentially ae
taking them from useful employments
and setting them at carrying buckets of

In convention assembled, renew their pledge«

First—We congratulate the democratic parq
in thia and other aiale» upon the signal victories
achieved in the last general elections in Iowa,
Ohio and Rhode Ixleud, and the municipal
election» held recently th'onghont the tlnlow;
and we bail their results as a certain harbinger
of the disintegration of that party which, oham
pioniug the cause of special interests »nd priv­

heaivehets of public plunder, and the prefer­
ment of that which has ever stood for the equal
rights of lhe whole people.
Second—We denounce the fraud by which th»
people of Montana were deprived of their
right of representation in the United States
Senate by senators of their choice.
Third—We believe in equal rights to all and
special privileges to none, and therefore favor
a tariff for revenue, limited to the expenses ef
the government economically administered, be­
lieving that more than this u class legislation,
