"KEUUCTIOX" AND "tthHOKM."
The Heraid says that during the late
campaign the democrat! accused the re
publicans of being opposed to tariff reform,
and now cites the fact ot the passage of
the Senate substitute bill to sho that re
publicans are not hostile to tariff reform.
The Herald misstates the fact t here
was never any doubt in the minds of dem
ocrats that republicans were in favor of
"tariff reform,'.' but they did doubt that re
publicans were in favor of"tariff reduction,"
and they doubt it yet, and the passage of
the Senate substitue bill confirms that
doubt. There is a very wide difference
between "tariff reform" and "tariff reduc
tion." "Tariff reform" is a meaningless
term. The man who favors raking the
duty on any one or all the articles now on
the dutiable list is a "tariff reformer." The
man who favor "tariff reduction" is one
who would make duties less instead ut
more. In the bill which the republican
Senate has just passed the duty on woo ,
tin and nearly all kinds of woolen goods
has been largely increased. This proves
republicans to be in favor of "tariff reform,"
and at the same time proves that they are
hostile to "tariff reduction." The Herald
unwittingly admits this distinction when
it says :
'To illustrate the difference between
tariff reduction and revenue reform, the
Finance committee of the Senate framed a
substitute for the Mills bill which should
tend to reduce the revenue and yet pre
serve the principle of protection to home
industries."
Here is an open confession that the Sen
ate bill is made sotely to reduce the reve
nue but not the tariff. The democrats
have contended and yet contend that the
Interests of the millions of consumers
should be considered as well as the hun
dreds or thousands of manufacturers in
this tariff legislation. To illustrate the
difference between democratic "tariff re
duction" and republican "tariff reform" we
would refer to the action of both parties
on the sugar question. The democrats in
tut Mills bill made an absolute reduction
of about 25 per cent and gave to the con
sumer the full benefit of this reduction,
while the republicans made a reduction of
50 per cent, and then in the way of a bonus
or bounty gave back about 30 per cent to
the makers of sugar and this duty i to be
paid out of the people's money thus de
priving the consumer of the greater part
of the reduction made. This is one of che
complicated contrivances resorted to to
deceive tne people. So far as the consum
ers as well as manufacturers of augar are
concerned, the Mills bill makes a greater
reduction on sugar than the Senate bill.
The remains of the Confederate rain Merri
mac, that, for the prowess of the Monitor, might
have changed the course of events in the strug
gle for supremacy between the North and the
South, liavejust been sold for old iron. The
Merrimac was run ashore and blown up to
avoid her capture by the Yankee blue jackets,
and when the war closed she became a war
relic.
A sixteen-year-old boy in Kansas City at
tempted to steal and carry away a saw mill one
day last week. He first stole a horse and
wagon and was busily engaged in taking the
mill to pieces preparatory to loading it upon the
wagon, when the mill owner appeared on the
scene and gathered him in.
For months past crows, to the number
of from one million to three million, have
swarmed in the eastern end of Douglass
county, Illinois, feeding in the fields in day
time and collecting at night. About dusk
these birds gather in from the surrounding
country in myriads, and the noise they
make is deafening. Frequently they alight
in such vast numbers on the trees that
large limbs are broken under their weight.
One day last week a black cloud of these
birds was crossing the railroad track, when
the smoke from the engine blinded them.
They flew against the side of the swiftly
xnoying cars,and persons who watched the
strange sight counted nearly two hundred
dead crows.

The feelings of the Oregonian is terribly
worked up because as it says there are a
dozen or so of Astoria pilots at Salem us
ing the money they make out f high pilot
charges to prevent the Legislature from
reducing pilot charges. The Orcgontin
should not whine when it has to swallow its
own medicine. This work of the pilots at
Salem is exactly similar to the work per
formed by protected monopolies last fall to
prevent a reduction of the tariff duties.
A Washington telegraph operator re
cently remarked : "You see wonderful
spelling among the high officials frequent
ly. I once sent a telegram from Gen.
Grant in his own hand writing which be
gan : "I regret that I shall not be able to
serve as a paul bearer."
It is gratifying that the republicans in
the Senate have decided to reduce the duty
on pearls from 25 to ioper cent ad valorem.
If there is a similar lifting cf the burden !
upon diamods it will drop a coroma of light
and gladness about the huts of toil.
The prospect of the near distribution of the
spoils of victory has not brought out that spirit
of harmony in the Republican party that w
were assured with such emphasis existed in its
ranks at the close of the campaign.
