In the first place, the writer tauftchc a bread- side at the ministry by char. teg rtew yM dfre prtpheftlet and gUamy fore&otHnf which he at tempts to prove art entirely g-roundlc. Speak ing or me utu or our dviiiMUon, e tayt; "ah thlt, those gloomy prcphcM say, e leavened wW a rottenness which muvt brfng the rrwgnmceat ttructurp to.rutn," That rottennete In the four). datton of' any structure, If left aloae, will effect Itt final overthrow no one can deny! and thM Jt cxitta In the political, moral and tfnnnclal cle ment of our todety is dearty dcmonsiralrd by the neveT-endlng details of crime and wicked. ness which -ditlty and hourly nosh over the ray "tell-tale wires" that Ihe writer dies, among other things, to prove the excellent moral condi tion of todet ,at the present time. He con tinue: "Thing are laul enough, but they are certainly much better llwn they were jo year ago," and then he attempts to prove that crime were ol as frequent occurrence centuriri ago as now, the only difference being that the means, of communication were then so limited that many of thorn were never made public, and hence never became a part of history. Now, it Is one thing to assert and another lo prove, and U these ancient crimes were never pUced upon record, I should like to ask how die learned gentleman came Into poitctilon of the knowledge that they were ever perpetrated? Further on he say; "The astodated press and the ieclal telegram are a vigilance com mlltre from which there Is little etiance of rsctpe." I am ready to admit that, with all the present facilities operating agalntt him, the flee ing criminal has little hope for escape; but, to quote again, "The age ha changed," and tlie main point It no longer so escape capture, but to evade justice, and tlie culprit who Is fortunate enough to have a "barT, or wen a jug, and knows how lo use It, can usually obtain his re lease, with a legal (?) license to go and repeat hit crime. Certainly a greater degree of corrup tion never did or could prevail anywhere. Again. "If an individual withe to enter the arena ot public life, he knows his character wit) be thoroughly ventilated.' etc "Whal of thai?

That there has been great Improvements In some re spects lo the hut half century is a self-evident fact, but another well-known fact Is that when good increases evil alio increases in equal If not greater ratio. The American people are possessed of grcai genius and have made some wonderful and use ful Inventions, useful in a genera! way, but there have also been many plant laid by designing persons which are detrimental lo the public good; new evils are constantly being developed, and evil men grow more bold every year. Look at tlie long record of crimes committed by tramps. and the almost innumerable one directly trace able to ttrong drink; at the vast number of fraud ulent transactions in all kinds of business; at the pollution In political affairs, ami the bribing, the counterfeiting, the balkrt-lwx stnAing, etc., that are earned on with impunity, and then tell me lliat our moral condition maintains a higher lUmi-vril now than It did JO years ago The good hat grown better, Ihe Vvd wortef but who can reckon the account and tell us on which side Ihe UU.WCV will fall? JUSTICE. THE WOOL TARIFF. Senator Slater vs. the Wool-Growers et Oreoa. 'John Mliito hi tlie Oregontan.J Senator Slater, in answer to the demand made upon him- by llie resolutions of tho Columbia nvrr wool-growers fur a certain line of action in regnnl tu a restoration of tariff on wool back to the schedule of rates which existed from 1S67I0 tB8j, certainly writes a strong letter from the standpoint of free-trade politician. He had some reasons foransvvenng buck sharply because of tlie Injudicious use of the words "we deraind." He returns a Roland for rut Oliver, however, in ihe wont "monopolars." Now, withtag 10 avoid ugly words, but yet beilevlng that Senator Slater's teller docs not tell it Ul, I wish to call attention lo some of the statements in older lo see if they do support each other and make a true and consistent de fense of the senator's jvoslllon or positions. Ills first position Is that the late reduction of tariff ou wool deducts from tlie income of the individual wool-grower 3 cents per pound of tits product and distributes dial sum among 49 ol tils fcllow-cltlicns, according to the amount ol woolen they wear, the aggregate sum leing .$9,'." 000,000 to the wool-wearing eople of the Uni ted States, the wool-grower (according to the senator) being "1 in 50" of the people, while Uncle Sam loses nearly $300,000 for his share in the change. The next position of the senator Is that low tariff or 110 tariff makes high prices for domes tic wools. Tlie senator claims this lo tpvc been repeatedly demonstrated in the history of larifl legislation In this country, and quote authorities In proof of the fact that it has not only tnen so in the United States but In France and Great Drltaln also. Thelolcof thl position seems to me to be that in refuting to restore the tariff the senator thinks he It blessing the woot-growtj with a certainty of higher prices "for the domes tic product," but as the price of ihe wool must gu into the prlcu of Ihe clothing the 49 consum er must also pay higher for clothing. Now there mutt be some fact lost sight of or tacking somewhere that' is necessary to make the two diverse position consistent with eadi'other, and consistent with the results of the tale disturbance of the tariff of 1867. Te omitted fact will be found In a fuller statement of Ihe effects of low or no tariff periods of American legislation iin American sheep husbandry, first causing the ar rest or destruction of wool-growing tn the Uni ted Slates to such an extent as to give foreign wool denier control of the American market, Such vvat the utmost uniform results of tow tariff policy. It was after a long experience of such results that the National Woo Manufacturers' association was formed, The publication of the National Wool Manufacturer' liullelin was re solved upon, vllh John I- Haye at edltort for the sole purpose of making common cause with tlie American fanner in securing tweh a rate of protection at would enable them to keep sheep with a fair profit, so that a supply of the domes tic product could be had for domestic manufac tures without submitting to the extortion of for-' elgn wool dealer. Thtse bulletins were scat lered with great liberality In west nnd southwest and Pacific states, as these were tlie section of the union where it was, possible with due encour agement that wool growing could be developed mptdly to meet the requirements of the national wants and make u a a people Independent of other countries for necessary doming. How wa It nl the end of the period (mentioned by Senator Slater) from 184 to 1864? TheTlrst half o? tliat period wo a time of tariff tinker ing destructive to wool growing- In the middle Jtfrfffr'lfehfaiteafital wat freely empteyed m tome ef tfi then chief stale of wool growing) M trnvlMt tsp sheep and Iambs, fat and lean alike, 4 slaughtering them for what they would yield wool, pell and tallowy and feeding the resf dne o the hog. Thl wa done cxienslrdy In 'Wchlfan and Ohio, then, a now, fine wool growing state. Of course the cause which led to this mode of gelling rid of sheep which It was not profitable to keep produced almost at dlnaitrou results by a general neglect, tattled ftich metl as the late Edwin Hammond lo seek and Improve the heaviest fleeced Merino In or der to continue keeping thcep. These periods of destruction tcned tho purpose of giving the foreign wool grower and foreign wool seller the control of the American wool market, and llie price of wool wa raited on Ihe American man ufacturer. Of course, what little wool wa of "domestic growth" rote In cormpondence with he price exacted by the Kngtish; but foreign doth and American factoiy cloth and clothing were correspondingly high also so much so that very Utile of such cloth was worri by farmers home-made bdng the common wear. The American manufacturer was at a disadvantage had, in fact, abundant cause of br.ng afraid to venture for lie could never tell what the demo crats of tliat day would or would not do with the tariff. There are still some of the old kind left. Uut the dvll war came Upon us M a people, ami we had to depend on Europe It. Dull, main- tf, for bating out of which to make national flags, for worsted lace by which the common soldier' might distinguish hi officer, for blanket and clothing for all parties and grades tn the strife, much of which, wa filthy rags and glue. There waa a jaltriotlc object answered at well as torpe busfnes sense manifested when the Na tional Woolen Manufacturers' association asked the co-operation of the National Wool Grower' association to help frame a tariff which would meet the requirements of the future, and not be excessively burdentome to any Interest. The tariff of iBGywas the result, and it has had suck good effect that "the; general results, as between the old democratic policy and that which framed and preserved the tariff of 1S67, is; In, i860. 31,000,000 of population produced 60,000,000 pound of' wool; In 1W3, 50,000,006 of popula tion produced 300,000,000 pound. In i860 tlie nation prrjluced lest than two pounds per capi ta; in 1883 the product was near six pounds per capita. The estimated requirement is nine pounds per capita. The tendencies of the old democratic man agement of this question and the republican can le seen in' the above figures, but a glance at them from another point of view may not be withdut Instruction. From 1840 to 1850 popu lation increased over 33 per cent. From 1840 10-1850 sheep Increased 3 per cent From 1850 lo i860 population increased 35 X per cent. From 1850 to 1660 sheep a little less than 15 per cent, At the bdnntng of that period tlie foremost British statesman was such because be believed it was the destiny of England to dotbe America, arid favored all politics lending to thai result. Are not the above figures sufficient proof that those who controlled American affairs were "wotking to his hand." But the foregoing statistics do not even indi cate all the diflerences between the diverse bnes f policy. Previous to i860, though the United State was one of the best markets in the world for a doth merchant, the depressed condition under which American manufactures labored rendered it a very uninviting field for skilled la bor to come to. Since, i860 the contrary has bjea the ease, and though It b Impossible to es tiilie the flvpney value of the accession of 4,K1 labor received by Immigration, I do not tHnk that its money value could be covered with the sum of J330.ooo.ooo, which the people of the United States paid 10 Europe fur clothing between 1840 and 1863. These workmen leave their various native places and transfer their allegiance to belter their condition. The common laborers from Germany and Ireland do tlie same. In order that they may succeed in doing so, the American wool growers are willing to protect them in ihdr en deavors, by stopping the influt of cheap Chi nese laborers, the effect of whose coming would be to degrade the condition of American labor lower than that of the country they left lo come here. They are largely democrats, nnd the ques tion for them to settle is whether they wish to support the free-trade wing of thdr party, repre sented by Senator Stater, or the younger kind, rrprsented by Randall, who have learned some thing by the past trade history of the nation. Mrs, O. K. Moore of Coaledo created a sen sation among her acquaintances in this vicinity last week by deserting her hmband and home and eloping with one Nelson Martin. They took passage by List steamer as I. Erlckson and foavlly. Mrs. Moore took with her her two chil dren, little girls. When she Idt her home It was under llie pretext of coming to the bay to visit friends, and she had with her about $150 in mon ey, for which her husband had bartered cattle, that his wife mtgb: refurnish thdr residence to her liking. Soon nfter the departure of the steamer Moore was apprised of the conduct of his recreant wife, whenhecameto thebay and is reported to hare Idrgraphed to San Francis co to have the faithless pair arrested, that he may follow and recover his children. Martin is represented as an intemperate, improvident, f!Ood-for-noihing sort of man, and much surprise s expressed that Mix Moore went away with him. A. G. Atken came near being killed at China Cnmp creek about a week ago. Hewnscraploy- ed at tlie'pile driver in use at the new bridge be ing built there. A handspike, used In a Span ish windlass, had been left In such n way that the hammer of Ihe pile driver struck it In coming down and the othir end of the stick flew up and Struck Aiken a powerful blow on the side of his face and head, by which he was knocked sense less for a time. He bled freely and at first his Injuries nppeared worse than they afterwards proved to be, Aiken was removed to a house near by, and after his revival lie was taken to tils home at Coqullle City, and perhaps by this time lie is again on duly at tlie badge.
