THE JUTE BAG TAK1FK.
Of all the various kinds o impositions
which farmers have to submit to on ac
count of our high protective tariff, none is
such an 'inexcusable folly and iniquity of
that whole monstrous bundle of Iniquities
and absurdities called the tariff law,"as the
duty upon jute bags which farmers have to
use so extensively in handling their grain.
When we reflect that no jute is raised in
this country, and that not one in ten of the
jute sacks used by our farmers is manu
factured here, what must be thought of that
vicious policy that imposes upon the farm
er a tax of 40 per cent on these sacks when
he can scarcely make ends meet in raising
wheat in competitio.i with the pauper labor
of India. Let us view all the circum
stances and condition's under which protec
tionists claim a" protective tariff is demand
ed and see if any one of these conditions
exists as to jute sacks. A protective tariff
will produce revenue for the government,
but, as the government needs no revenue,
then the tariff on that account is Jnot justi
fied. A protective tariff is said to be need
ed to protect the "infant industry" of jute
production, but as jute is not raised in this
country we need no tariff for that purpose.
A protective tariff is needed to protect the
"infant industry" of jute bag manufactur
ing. Out as not one in ten of the bags used
in this country is manufactured here,- nor
the raw material out of which it is made
grown here, then there is no excuse for
taxing the farmers of the country millions
every year to keep a few sickly jute mills
running. The farmers of the country could
make money by buying out every jute bag
factory in the country ,allow it to stand idle
and decay, and pension every person en
gaged in performing labor at such factories
if they could in return have the duty re
moved from imported jute bags. But let
us go into the details of this duty. It is
estimated that there will be three million
bushels of grain harvested in Linn county
this year. To handle this grain will require
one and a half million sacks. The duty
upon each sack amounts to from one and
three-quarters to two cents. The duty on
one and a half million sacks at one and
three-quarter cents would be $26,259. This
enormous tax is imposed upon the farmers
of Linn county every year without any
reason or excuse whatever. The Mills bill,
as it should, provides for putting jute sacks
on the free list, and we hope the Senate,
whatever bill it may pass, will do likewise.
Every farmer can make his own calcula
tion as to what this tax will coat him each
year. If he raises six thousand bushels of
grain he will need three thousand sacks,
and the duty would be $52.50. If he uses
one thousand sacks this tax on him would
be $17.50. If he should use five thousand
sacks his tax would amount to $S8.5o, and
so on.
An old gentleman, a republican, worth
many, many thousands of dollars, living
near AIbany,was heard to say on the streets
of this city four years ago to-day, when
some ardent democrat assured him that
Cleveland would be elected : "Well I
wouldn't mind it if I could be assured that
he would not pay the rebel debt when he
got in." Another republican was heard to
say that the worst result to follow the elec
tion of Cleveland was the re-enslavcmen
of the negroes. Another felt as though
'he country would be ruined if Cleveland
should be elected, because he would then
pension all the rebel soldiers, and so on the
song of lamentation was kept up. The
first gentleman is well-known to nearly
everybody in and around Albany and his
sincerity and candor were unquestioned,
though his credulity was not an object of
envy by any democrat or sensible republi
can. But he believed then that the dire
calamities predicted by republican papers
would Inevitably follow the election of Mr.
Cleveland. He was to be commlsseratcd
of course, but what must be thought now
of the same old man who shudders as he
sits mournfully on a dry good's box And pre
dicts, and cyen now asserts, as a fact,that in
case Mr. Cleveland is re-elected financial
ruin will sweep over the country as an
angry besom of destruction, our manufac
tories yill all be shut down, wages of labor
ers reduced to a level with those of Europe,
and the country generally go to the dem
nition bow-wows. Gentle rcadcr.it is upon
such scares as we mentioned in the first
part of tills article that the republicans at
tempted to carry the election in 1SS4, but
you know the result. They arc now trying
10 scare the people into electing Harrison.

We have received from Siegel Cooper
& Co,, of Chicago, Illinois, a fine large pic
ture 22x28 Inches of Cleveland and Thur
man, Mr. Cleveland being on the left and
on the right Thurman, while the center is
taken up by the democratic platform
Washington, the father of our country J cf-,
ferson and Jackson, the founders of the dem
ocratic party, are shown in conspicuous
places, so is the American eagle, and the
stars of the original 13 slates are not for
gotten, The ensemble is surrounded by a
wreath with 49 stars, in the center of same
is given the name and number of electoral
votes of 3S states with names of 10 tcrri
tories and the District of Columbia. The
picture is sent to any one postpaid for 50
cents.
Senator Beck says : "If this were not
presidential election year I think that I
could name over half a dozen republican
Senators who would vote for the Mills bill
I believe Ingalls, Davis,Sabin,Cullom, Far-
well, Plumb and several others would vote
with the democrats in passing a bill which
would approximate the Mills bill very close
ly. On our side there are only two men
who might vote against it McPherson and
Brown but 1 don't think even they would
vote against the party if the bill could be
brought up."
