Newspaper Page TextDaily Democrat A Hl'KSTION BUT NO AXSWEK. The Ongoniaii in armver to some very knotty iuetion put to it by a correspond ent says : "The ciuclkm is often asked why, if certain articles of home production are cheaper than those of foreign productions protective tariu is necessary, aimpiv to prevent the foreign manufacturer, who has cheaper .aoor, troni greatly underselling llie American product, which he would do at a loss to himselt till ne nau snut up tne American factory, when he would imme diately advance the price so at to make up Ins looses and a great prom besides. It protection were removed the English trusts canlcl and would attack in detail every pro ductive industry in the I nited states, and greatly cripple, if not utterly destroy, very many ot them. iiov, impatient a candid, logical person In search of truth and the reaton of the tirifT law must be to be met with such bla tint demagogy as the above. Labor, Whether hijh or low is a pait of the cost production, and if, after the article product-J, our home production can be sold Cheaper than the foreign article, why is a protective tariff necessary on such article ? Tiiis is the qucslion asked the Oregonian "by its correspondent, but it dodged it en tirely. lf, as is claimed by republicans, our nunufactursrs.after receiving the fostering Care of a protectij e tariff for a number of J ears, arc enabled to produce an article as Cheap as a foreign manufacturer, then.why the necessity of retaining a protective tariff any longer upn such article ? Does the Qregmuan assent to the proposition that the purpose of a protective tai iff is to enable our home manufacturers to sell their pro ducts for a higher price than they would be able to do without such tariff, and that this selling for a higher price is brought about by increasing the cost of the foreign article to the extent of the amount of ail or a part of the tariff levied upon it and thus Cripple competition to that extent ?If it docs, 1: must inevitably concede that when the time arrives that a home article can be pro duced as cheaply as the foreign article then the necessity for a tariff on that article no Imget exists. And It would be as credita ble for that paper to candidly confess it as 3t It discreditable now to deny it. In 1SS6 in the United States Senate presi dent Harrison, then a senator from Indiana, said: "I do lift up a hearty priye.- that we may never have a President who mill not either pursue and compel his Cabinet advisers to pursu; the Civil Service policy pure and simple and upon a just basis, allowing men accused to hi heard, and deciding against them only upon competent proof and fairly either have that kind of a Civil Service or, for (lod's sake, let us have that other frank and bold, if brutal, method of turning men and women out simply for political reasons. Let ut have one or I lie other." ltut the president's prayer is now unanswer ed, and the "brutal method of turning men and women out simply for political reasons' againt which he then inveighed so earnestly is practiced every day and every hour by his own cabinet officers and w ithout any protest from him so far as the public knows. Fourth class postmasters are being daily removed by the hundreds for political reasons only and the president looks on approvingly. It is plain that the president has adoptedthat "other frank and bold brutal method" of decapitating dem ocrats without tiial. rKIMI.NAl.S KOK OKI-ICE. A Washington dispatch to the Man chestcr(N. II.) ('m'oii&ays : "The reports' that arc coining in from all quarters in re gard to the character of the federal ap pointments under the republican adminis tration art; most c ttraordinary . It seems incredible that so many men with criminal records should be provided with places.No president has ever before been imposed upon to such an extent as has Mr Harrison, provided it be assumed that he desires good men to be selected in all cases. Senator Kenna of West Virginia, who is here, said that he felt it to be his duly to visit the president this week and call his attention 1 lO inc apiKJlIHIlldlls niliv.ll I1UVC UCCI1 made in his state. He feels that it is only ordinary faiiness and decency to apprise the president of facta of which he seemsto - be ignorant. Nearly all the men who have bien given places in that slate have crim inal charges pending against them. The assistant district attorney, who will have charge of the prosecutions in the United States courts, is the defendant in a suit for $8000, which lie is alleged to have embez zled while commissioner of schools in West Virginia. His name is Burdette. Daw son, the principal United States deputy marshal, stands indicted for bribery in the last senatorial election. McDonald.the su perintendent of repairs on the public build ing in Charleston, stands ind'cteJ for bri bery in the same election, and if. will be Hurdette's duty to prosecute him. Still another federal appointee, named Ray,ad mittcd to an investigating committee of the legislature that he tiad attempted to bribe a member named Shclton to tell his vote for senator for $1603, testifying that a man named C Matthews had offered him $300' to control Shelton's vote, and he thought he cou'.d make $1400 out of the (eration, Shelton,wlio made the charge, was not even called at a witness by the committee which reported Ray's confes sion to the legislature. This it the tort sf men who are obtaining the bett places in West Virginia, and lf Harrison has any sense of decency, he will require them all to be dismissed at once. The prospect is that, when the senate mcets,the republican senators will have their hands full in de fending the character of Harrison's appointments When (.ieneral Andrew Jackson visited Concord, N II, after his presidential term had expired he was entertained at Cass Hotel, at that time the leading hotel of the slate. The proprietor, wishing to do hon or to his distinguished guest, provided a banquet and arranged to serve it with con sidcrablc style. With the first course the (ieneral surprised the waiter by ordering crackers and milk, and refused all other dishes, much to the digust of the proprie tor, Cass Hotel was the great resort of stage drivers and it was at this hotel Vice Tresldcnt Mortoa boarded when a young nan and engaged as a clerk in the dry goods business. One of the leading mer chants of Concord, r.ow in active business, was a boarder at the hotel at that time and occupied a seat at the same table. For I and niadc-harncos gnln 1. L. Power Russia is passing through another epidemic of terror. The Czar dares not trust himself to the people; the people look with suspicion on every officer of the Czar. Dynamite bombs are found in the most unexpected places, The prisons are full to over flowing, and the Siher ian road more crowded than ever. It wat hoped that with Count Tolstoi's death a change would come.but the hope has not been verified. Fire-proof buildings are becoming more and more common, but an earthquake proof building Is a novelty. The San Francisco Chrotiidt is erecting a new abode for which both of these advantages is claimed.
