i nr it" y h BLUNDERING, L. E.BLAIN'S COLUMN, HOW DO YOU DO? A H KSS. The HtraM makes a very feeble at tempt to bolster up the crumbling itructure of terlff protectionism. And, in the effort, it makes a regu.'ar "mess" ot It. It says that "free traders," (meaning democrats,) are calling upon farmers to tear loose from the party of cut throats, (meaning the re publicans,) and join In with them, as "free trade" Is the sure road to high priced wheat for the farmers. Now, really here Is a density of lack of knowledge on thic subject that is fearful. The "free trade" orators, (democrats,) will tell you that not a single one of their number lias ever promised that the price of wheat could be increased by the adoption of "free trade," (tariff reduction.) On the contrary, they "t.ttve always contended that the Increase or reduction of the duty on wheat could In r.o case affect its price. The reason of this la, that our firmer are compelled by cir cumstances over which human legislation can not possibly have any control to go inta foreign countries to find a market fo that product of their weary ami unremitting toil. No foreign wheat is shipped Into this country for sale. There can be no competi tion in American markets between Amer ican and foreign wheat. Hence the price of American wheat can not possibly be in creased by imposing a duty on imported wheat. In no one matter are tne false pre fences uf the republican leaders more clear ly brought to light than in this matter cf protection to wheat growers. "When Mc Kinley constructed his tariff bill, he in creased the duty on wheat 25 per cent on the rate then existing. This was the signal for every republican crgan in the land to glorify McKinley as a real benefactor to the farmers. The fact of this increase of duty was heralded from one end of the country to the other, and the McKinley bill was proclaimed to be the farmer's bill. That down-trodden class was to have the benefit of tariff legislation. The eastern manufacturer was no longer to be held the pet of tariff legislation. The Interests of producers next now to b sacredly guard, ed and benefitted . These shouters did not tell the dear people that at the same time McKinley increased 111 duty on wheat from 30 to 35 cents per bushel, he increased the duty on woolen goods, (one of the greatest necessaries of life,) from 6S to 91 per cent. It was taken for granted that the people would never be able to detect the difference between the effect of In creasing the duty on these two articles. The common herd were supposed to be Ig norant of the fact that for the year 18S9 there were imported into this country but J946.V bushels of wheat upon which a duty o' $39.35 wss paid whlle,durlng the same period, there were Imported woolen goods valued at $52,681483,56 upon which a duty of $35373.fo7-5 was paid. It was in this way that farmers were protected. The eastern manufacturer secured much the best ot the bargain because the duty for him wj placed on articles that are largely imported into this country. But if the McKinley bill was gotten up in the in terests cf farmers by placing a duty on wheat why is It that the price of that arti cle has been less since the passage of the bill than before. The Herald quotes an article from the Farm and Home showing that the prices of corn, wheat, etc. is ad vancing as an example ot the benefits of McKlnlerlsin, but it Is very unfor.una'.e In selecting its proof, for the editor of the Homt expressly says that "the supply ot cereals Is less than for several years at this juncture," thus showing that the advance in price was caused by a scarcity of supply and not on account of the tariff. No, the doom of protectionism Is near at hand. Did it ever enter lh mind of the average tax-payer in Oregon that the Northern Pa cific and Southern Pacific raiirouls are abl7 and earnestly irpresented in the United States 8:nate by the two senators Irom Oregon? A shrewd republican informs the Democrat that such is the case and that this load will be heavier than his parry can hear in the next state election. He says th next legislature ol Oregon v.'ill lie democratic and that the next senator eleUed by this state will bs a demo crat. So he it. Where, oh where, is Ihe cheap sugar that the "poor" people were so gratefully to thank McKinley lor on the first of April? Tne sugar trust has the answer to this question locked up in that provision of the Mcknlcy tariff law that oflotOs the sug,.r refiner raw sugar free, but places a duty on refinel sugar This en ables the rcliners to inonopolie the sugar trai'c and compel consumers to pay such prices as the refiner choo-cs to exact. Such are the blessed beauties of MKinleyistn President Harrion expresses himself as very strongly oppo-cd to any further agitation Of the taiifl question. Well, really it must he very annoying to a man who holds nn ill-gotten swag to have people discuw the ro:her scheme which nude him the o sssor of it. But Progress and Reform keep stead ily in the direction of the rising sun. Like revolutions they never go hackwaids.

The Capital Journal has a remarkahly facile way of blundering about democratic platforms. It says. Governor Hill stands upon the tariff dodg inp democratic platforms of 1876, 1884 and iSSS the tariff reform platforms while his letter ignorss the t.iriff for revenue only plat form of 1883, upon w'.-lch Hancock was ue feated. For the first time has it been charged that the democratic platforms of 1S76, 1S84 and 18SS were dodging platform). Co over the files of any republican newspaper published during the campaign of iSSS, and there in every issue of such paper w ill be bund the allegations made substantially but with great particularity that the democratic platform was a free trade platform. The Jourwrs charge that the platform of 1S76 was a dodging plat form is without the least reason. It expressly declares for a tariff revenue for only. So does the platform of 1SS0. Governor Hill expressly places himself upon the platform of iS76which declares for a tariff for revenue only. The trouble with the Journal and all other repub lican organs of protectionism lies in the fact that ihev insist on measurinu the views of democrats on the tariff question by "fre e trade" as they define it. Of course Gov Hill, when he uses the phrase"frec trade" means a very different thing fiom that conveyed by theseoreans when they us; it. If the Jourmtl finds itself in a hole dug by itself, on it own shoulders rests the blame. In reason, as well as in law a man is supposed to intend the necessary consequences of his own act.
