A DISHONEST SCHEUK.
The Tlme-iUouoifr says:
"But, are fortiori woolen goods as much
of necessity as sugar, one of the constlt
uent elements of every human being? V.
think not. It has been proved that the
United States can manufacture as cheaply
the fabrics which are necessary for pro
tection against tne inclemency ot the sea
sons as England, and is it not advisable, al
conditions being equal, that we give the
preference to our own citizens and not
take the bread oat of the mouths
American laborers and give it to those ol
foreign nations, who have no Interest 1
the perpetuity of our Institutions or form
of government? Protection is simply
what it says, and not prohibition."
Woolen goods are a greater necessity
than suear. Poor families, rand they are
numerous throughout the length and
breath of our country ,) find by experience
that woolen goods are a far greater ne.
cessity than sugar. They are necessary
to life and health, while sugar can largely
be dispensed with. Then why is it that
protectionists hasten to give the people
free sugar, and at the same ti.ne increase
the average duty on woolen goods from
67 to 91 per cent? There is but one reason
for this and no one knows It better than
theJ.lonTir. That reason was stated In
these columns before. The JIcKinley
bill was constructed on purely a partisan
and sectional basis. Our cotemporary
gives the whole case of protectionism away
by 6aying that the United States can man
ufacture as cheaply the fabrics which ore
necessary for protection against the in
clemency of the seasons as England. Then
in the name of common sense and decency,
in the name of the great body of the con
sumers of the country, why did McKlnley
increase the already enormous duty of 6S
per cent on woolen goods to 91 per cent.
It was not necessary topretection,for, if it
costs a6 much to make woolen goods in
England as here, how can English goods
be shipped here, pkylng freight, insurance,
interest, and oilier charges, and then sold
In competition with our own products. It
is absurd to think to. Even under an
average dulyoffi? percent.English woolen
goods were shipped into this country dur
tnF the vear ended lune 30, 1SS0, to the
amount of $52,681,48356 worth. Upon
these goods the duty in dollars and cents
was $35,373.3.7.5- The 'people in this
country .who bought and used these goods
paid the enormous tax of $35.37J37-5-The
tax paid by those who used the home
produced goods would amount to ten times
the above amount, and this tax went into
the pockets of the protected classes. Of
course no American citizen would refuse
to give preference to our own citizens all
conditions being equal. But every patri
otic Amerlcan'should resent the scheme to
tax him 47 percent on nearly every thing
he eats and wears in order to make these
conditions equal. This proposition o! the
MomilahtTcr Is a grevious insult to every
laboring man In the country. Tax the
consumer 40 to 100 per cent to make con
ditions equal Jbetween the foreign and
home manufacturer and then have the un
abashed audacity to ask the consumer to
prefer the home manufacturer. There is
not the semblance of honesty or fair deal
ing in such a scheme.
A. man : Would the encouragement of
the dairy Industry help to build up the
country? would it bring more capital
here', would there be more readv sale for
land?
E, man: Yes sir, as soon as you demon
strate what a model dairy will do, you
have also at the same time demonstrated
what thousand of eastern people want In
formation about, and ask every day.
Eastern people know that Oregon is a great
grain producing country but most of these
people must be taught that they can make a
good living on 50 acres or less, not on 200 rr
300 acres.
Now my friends, here is a great point.
A great many can buy 50 acies and pay fo
it but not 200 or 300 acres. Suppose we havr
a thousand families today with money enough
to buy 50 acres of land. Could you place them
and arrange it so that they could make n good
living? No sir, you could, not they would he
dissapointed as a great many have been before
them and they ill tell it in letters to ll.er fam.
iliesand friends at home. But on the other
hand friends, if you will establish a model
dairy, show people how to carry such a busi'
ness on from the one end to the other, assist
all new comers wilh good advice and every in
formation you w ill accomplish a great deal 01
noble work. Lay aside small differences in
politics and unite together and it ill prove to
be a wonderful enterprise for Albany and f-r
Linn County and bring more linn one hundred
fold on investment. C H Schmidt

For Albany ar.d Linn county A dairy
Association and model Dairy Farm.
An Albany man and an eastern man
discuss the above subject.
Albany man: What Is a model dairy?
Eastern man: A model dairy is such a
dairy as we would like to see cstablised in
great numbers all through the Willamette
valley taking the place of our unprofitable
wheat growing.
A. man: Mow many pounds of butter
will a good dairy cow produce in a year?
E. man: 200 or 300 pounds and too
acres in good cultivation would raise food
enough to keep 50 cows the year round.
A. man: How much income could be
calculated on from a model dairy?
E. man: A well appointed dairy farm,
well mamged in the Willamette valley
would pay 10 per cent at least on invest
ment while our wheat farms on the aver,
age do not pay any interest.
A. man : Would a dairy tann benefit the
land or be hard on the land?
K. man: It is a very Important question
you have touched upon here," my friend,
because it is one of the greatest drawbacks
to grain growing and grain selling that It
is actual wholesale robbery of the soil.
Wc find therefore, also, even in this fertile
valley, that a continuation of wheat grow
ing and wheat selling l a sure road to de
struction of our beautiful land. It has
come to pass In many places that half of
the cultivated lands have to be summer
fallowed eery year in order to insure a
good crop. Dairy farming with rotation
of crops would dc away with the summer
fallow and a fill! crop on every acre can
be raised.
A. man: How do you account for It that
the selling of butter would not impoverish
the land ?
E. man: Butter takes away only ele
ments which we have In abundance in the
nlr and In the water, and cost us only a
trifle to bring to our land, while wheal
takes away the very costliest of plant food.
A. man: Is the Willamette valley well
adapted to butter production?
E. man: Yes, you can travel through
the United Siales and E,uope and you v ill
find '.hat you have almost In every respect
the finest country for establishing a very
prosperous dairy Industry,
