"DISTINCTION AND IUKKEKKNuE." Under the above caption, the Qrtgonian attempts a reply to the article In the Den ocrat a few days since showing that il audi vast benefits accrue to the people as a result of putting sugar on the free list then these benefits should be enlarged by putting salt, lumber, coal, woolen goods, binding twine, jute sasks, tin, etc., on the free list. It says: ''Protection of sugar will not stimulate home production of the artl' cle to any appreciable extent. A dutv on sugar, therefore, is a tax on the coasumer, with no compensating advantages result ing from development of a home Industry" Butourcotemporary falls(as propagandists of protectionism always do,) to take Into consideration the very Important fact that the consumer has a compensating advant age resulting from placing a tariff on sugar, for as most of the sugar used lu this country is Imported, the tax collected goes in to the treasury of the United States where It becomes the common property of all tha peop'e, including these consumers, but where the tariff or tax is levied on that classof goods the market for which is supplied altogether, or neirly al together, by home manufacturers, then there Is absolutely no compensating ad vantage to the consumer,for he is made to pay a higher price for his goods while the tariff or tax goes into the pockets of the manufacturers, thus leaving nothing for the government. For the fiscal year ended June 30, tSoo there were imported into the United States 3,934,011,590 pounds of sugar valued at $96,094,532 the duties on which amounted to about 6S,ooo,ooo all of which passed Into the treasury to be tsed in mee'ing the enormous expenses of the governrrent as now administered. The protection argument is, that by ex cluding foreign importations by means of a high tariff the manufacturer of home pro ducts will be greatly stimulated, creating competition among home manufacturers, finally resulting In such Improved methods of manufacture as will result in reducing the prL-e of such products to a point lower than foreign manufacturers can sell fcr. It is noticable however that after long years of protection on iron, coal, wool, woolen goods, etc., our manufacturers still come up asking for more protection, and protectionists usually agree that they shall have it. Take woolen goods ai an ex ample. For years the duty has been very high averaging 58 per cent under the former law, Even the Ortpnian says that Europe cannot now compete with us In cotton or woolen goods except those of high finish on which a great deal of labor must be expended and yet In view of this admitted fact that the McKinley bill, responsive to the Imperious demands of New England manufaclurers,increased the average duty on woolens from 58 tc 91 per cent. It will be asking only what Is fair and right, that, when the point Is reached at which American manufacturers can sell as cheap or cheaper than the im ported article can be sold for, the tariff duty should be removed and allow the con sumers, (the great mass of the people,) to have the benefit of their cheap competitive prices. They were taxed to create them and they should have the benefit of them, but they are not only denied them but the tariff tax is going up in many cases, nota bly in the very articles in the sale of which the Oregonian says Europe can not com pete with us. It Is noticable that whatever position the high taxer assumes his own words are sufficient to drlye him from it. Woolens have been protected for many yearsyet we do not produce nearly as much as we use. The value of wxls and woolens imported for the year 18S9 was over seven ty one million dollars, the duty upon which was over forty one million dollars. We are surprised that so Intelligent a paper as the Orcgonion will still cling to the thread bare claim that the tariff-tax isaprotecdon to our labor people. Wages arc governed here as tl.ey are everywhere else. They are such as employers choose or are com pelled to pay. This truism is known the world over. Protection In so far as It en ables the seller of an article to demand an increased price and compels the buyer to pay such Increased price all for the benefit of the former Is open robbery and the peo. pie, through the campaign of education arc fast finding out this truth. The state of Xew York provides free schools. but (lesmte this illiteracy is increasing, owing largely to the great proportion of foreign born and poorly educated classes, who do not see the necessity of education for iheir children. A law obliging all of school age to attend a certain length of time each year unless pre- vented by sickness is now proposed and will probably be passed. The inteiest of the pub lie in educating all the citizens of the slate is greater than all other considerations, certain ly the state cannot afford to provide free schoo s and then have its work fail through neglect of the people to lake pioper advantage of them.

The OrtgoHttiH writes a long article saying that the democrats are trying to lli'ow the election of president into the house in 1S92. It says they cannot elect by the people hut if default in the election by the pwple can be brought about then the democrats are sure to elect as the election would then go into tl home. It declares tint the democrats wi encourage the organization of alliances in the hope of dividing the republicans thus throwing the election in the house. Our contetnpory is wide f the mark The democrats not oaly hope to, hut feel quite confluent of electing in the popular election The new paper to be started, in this city is to be, it is said, a daily, instead of a weekly, and independent in politics instead o! republi can.
