The grain bag traffic on the Pacific coast
last year amounted to 33,000,000 bags, and
the Indications now are that 2,000,000 more
will be required for the wheat crop tins
season. The prospect for a large wheat
yield never was better. The entire bag
capacity of the California Jute Mill Com
pany is about 1,250,000 per year, and not
more than this number can be produced by

tin. The great bulk of these goods.or over
V . U nnnul ft-AITl
30,000,000 nags, comes iu
Pnlrntm Portland Journal of Commerce.
So, according to this statement which
mnv hi- relied on. 12.1:00,000 of the sacks
necessary to handle ihe farmers grain on
the Pacific Coast this year comes from Cal
cutta. The duty on these sacks is 40 per
cent of their cost at place of purchase, that
U.fhr everv S100 worth of sacks imported
the importer has to pay $40 duty. This is
added to the nrice of the sacks when sold
tn the farmer. Then how much duty do
the fanners of the Pacific Coast have to
n.-iv on the I2.coo.ooo sacks f That depends
upon their cost abroad. If they cost 5 cents
a piece the entire cost would De $1,025,000,
and 10 ner cent of this amount woutd be
the duty or tax which the fanners would
have to pay .which would be $650,000. Let
farmers reflect what a burden this enor
mou tax is, and then say whether they
would have a reduction ot taxation or not

Judge Edson, one of the most prominent
republicans of Southern Indiana and a can-
didate for the Supreme Judgeship before
the recent convention, replying to expres
sions of regret concerning his defeat,sald
"I am not to be condoled with.but rather to
be congratulated upon my defeat after
General Hovev was nominated for Oovern
or by the convention. Hovcy's candidacy
makes the canvass in Indiana a defensive
one on the part of the republicans instead
of an offensive one. A you must have
been aware, I went before the republican
convention a6 a candidate for Supreme
Judge.for the purpose of compelling Bruce
Carr, Auditor of the state.and the 'slick six
gang of Indianapolis to show their hands.
They were under certain pledges to me, be-
cause I held the casting vote of this district,
which made the delegation to Chicago solid
for Harrison. . - The convention has lost the
state.and probably the National republican
ticket."
Probably the most unique petition ever
filed In the House in favor of additional
protection to America? industries was re
ceived the other day from Representative
Anderson, of Iowa. It reads as follows
"Being profoundly impressed with the
gravity of the occasion and the magnitude
of the matter at issue,in that all my worldly
possessions are invested in two dozen hens,
and realizing that there should be no dis
crimination in regard to the protection of
American industrles.and being advised that
there were some i6,c 00,000 dozens of eggs
imported into the United States in the year
1887, therefore I would respectfully pray
vour honorable body to pass a law to pro
tect my interest against the infernal activ
Ity of the pauper hens of Europe. Your
most obedient servant, T. II. B. Millen
Cambria, la."
Articles of incorporation organizing the
Seattle and Southern railroad company
were filed with the County Clerkat Seattle
Saturday. The object of this organization
is to build a railroad from Portland to
Seattle. It is said to be simply another
name for the Southern Pacific. A contract
has been entered Into by the company with
the Moss Boy Iron & Steel Co. to make
30,000 tons of steel rails. Delivery of rails
to commence July 1st next and end Jan.

I nt tl,i. farmers of Linn countv reflect
upon the fact that the duty levied by the
tariff laws upon the sacks necessary to
handle their grain this year will amount to
between $25,000, and !p3o,ooo. 1 111s is 1
sheer imposition as the government need
not the money.
The democratic party i the party of pro
tection, of protection to Americans instead
of Englishmen. The war tariff and the
shipping laws have destroyed the Ameri
can ocean-carrying trade and laid us under
tribute to England for the carrying of our
products to markets for $2oo,c jo.oooayear.
Down with the system of protection to
Englishmen. Let us give Americans a
fighting chance.
The river and harbor bill became a law
without the signature of President Cleve
land. The President says that it contained
Items which he could not approve, yet the
bill as a w hole was of such vast importance
to the country at large that he would not
be justified in vetoing it.
The tariff demand of the Republican
platform is for "such revision of the tariff
laws as will tend to check Imports of such
articles as are produced by our people,"
J h! Is not a call to stand by protection as
it now exists, but a demand for still more
ultra-protection, amounting to prohibition
