DEMAUOGT WILL NOT WIN.
Major McKinley Is making the supreme
effort of Ills life to be elected governor ot
Ohio. This effort he owes to the party
that placed him before the people ot that
state for that office. But he is under no
obligation to his party to resort to the
tricks of the demagogue to gain rotes. In
his speech at Nile opening his campaign
he said:
UA revenue tariff such as the democrat
ic party advocates can benefit and encour
age and build up no domestic industry.
It does not encourage labor save in foreign
countries. It supplies work for foreign
labor and takes it from American labor.
It was well conceived to benefit every
other nation but this. A revenue tariff
would fail to supply the revenue wants of
the government, and the failure of th
government to secure sufficient revenue,
would result In direct taxation. Not alone
would this result, but the ludustries of
this country would be destroyed and la
borers forced to farm and become farmers'
competitors. A protective tariff Is one
which keeps the treasury full of money,
builds up Industries in this country and
furnishes employment for labor and at
better wages than can be secured any
where else or under any other system.
Under a protective tariff the public debt
has been reduced nearly two-thirds, and
state debts have also been reduced. The
tariff has not Increased mortgages. It has
nothing whatever to do with the question.
More than this, the protective system Is a
preserver of the home market for the peo
ple at home. Reciprocity Is a provision
which in no way encroaches upon the
protective prlnclple.nor can it In any way
destroy or undermine the protective tariff.
The statement that the sugar bounty is
more burdensome than the tax Is untrue.
The bounty will encourage the production
of sugar here instead of destroying the in
dustry. There has been much criticism
about the duty on tinplale and fully as
much misrepresentation as criticism.
"A revenue tariff does not beneSt and
encourage and build up any domestic in
dustry" says McKinley. Well, it is not
one of the duties of the general govern
ment to promote and build up men in their
business callings. If It be the duty of the
government, In legislating, to encourage
and build up one industry, then it should
build up the industry and calling of every
citizen in the land, for each citizen is en
titled to all the privileges and immunities
vouchsafed to all other citizens.
ThS) statement may be safely made that
now here In the constitution of the United
States can be found the shadow of warrant
authorizing congress to so legislate, by
placing restrictions on trade and com
merce, as to foster and build up one man's
business at the expense of another. This
scheme railed protection is violative of
the very basic principle of the constitu
tion, the eqnality of all men before the
law. McKinley presumes to say that no
domestic industry in this country could
thrive unless 6urrounJed by a Chinese
wall of protection. To every true Amer
ican, burn with the spirit of American
manhood in him, and having faith in
Ameilcan pluck, skill, energy, a-d inde
pendence of character, such presumption
Is the sheerest nonsense. It Is not true
that "a revenue tariff would fall to supply
the revenue wants of the government,"
for, unlike a protective tariff It would be
o adjusted as to result In a healthy trade
with a consequent sufficiency of revsnue.
Revenue would be the chief coi.cern in
stead of protection, hence this statement
is not supported by a single reason. "A
protective tariff Is one which keeps the
treasury full of money," says this apcstle
of protection. Indeed, such arrant non
sense is unworhty a sixteen-year-old school
boy. McKinley's protective tariff bill
found over one hundred million surplus
money in the treasury, accumulated there
through the rigid economy of the demo
cratic administration of Grover Cleveland,
but in les6 than six months after the pas
sage ot McKinley's ideal protective tariff
bill this surplus was swept away and today
Charley Foster is in a most perplexing
quandary to know how he will pay even
the small sum of $30,000,000 to redeem
bonis to become due the second of next
month. It would be Impossible to keep
the treasury full of money with any but a
tariff for revenue so long as the country
Is sujected to the rule of a billion dollar
congress led by Reed and McKinley.
"More than this, the piotectlve system is a
preserver of the home market for the peo
pie at home," snys this defender of the
system that robs I'ctcr to py Paul. Hut
the truth Is that importations are larger
since the passage of the McKinley bill
than before, so th'.s protective tariff has
not preserved the home market for home
people, for If It had, Importations would
not have been increased.
"Reciprocity Is a provision which In no
way encroaches upon the protective prln
clole, nor can it In any way desroy or un
mine the protective tariff." This is true,
If McKinley Is speaking of the reciprocity
provided for In his bill, for If Mr Maine
should exercise the full extent of his au
thorlty under the reciprocity piovided for
In the McKinley bill he could not fevnit a

country free of duty that is not already on llit

in duty should he made on any article tf im
port no-.o on Ins dutiahle Int. 1 he only au.
thoritv which he has is to Impose a duty

McKinley Is right. Reciprocity as practiced
by Blaine in making treatlen Is like the
handle of a jug all on one siile. It In a
sham, a delusion, 1. snare. The only effect
ot any treaty made under il Is to benefit
the great inas of consumers of the foreign
country making t', and our on man
ufacturers. "The statement that '.he
sugar bounty Is more burdensome than
than the tax is untrue" says Mc-
Kinlcv. Here. then. Is an open, un
qualified acknowledgement that the tariff
on sugar was a tax. , Verily the campaign
of education Is banishing the clouds from
even McKinley's mind. But, now, what
does McKinley say about the tin tax?
Ileielrts: "There has been much criti
cism about the duty on tin plate and fully
as much misrepresentation as criticism."
How lightly he touches It. He handles It
in just the wav one would w ho knows that
such a burden on the people Is absolutely
indefensible. Demagogy may meet with
temporary success, hut It will ultimately
fall.
If "our" Senator, John H Mitchell, should
respond to the Macedonian cry of McKinley
to come to that state to help elee the great
apostle of protectionism, he would find him
self in a very awkward predicament. McKin
ley denounces free coinage and tikes up the
gauntlet for the gold bugs. He boasts that
he will make free silver coinage a more prom
inent issue than the tariff. Now, our senator
is known as one of the great leaders in tne
free coinage movement, and the question arises
how will he treat the free coinage question.
His course will be watched with much inter
est by Oregonians.
Discussing the magnitude of a "million
bushels of wheat," a broker is quoted as say
ing: "If 1,000,000 bushels of wheat were
loaded on freight cars, 500 bushels to a car,
it would fill a train over fifteen miles long If
transported by wagon, forty-four bushels on a
wagon, it would make a row of teams 142
miles long. If made into bread, reckoning a
bushel to every sixty pounds of flour, it would
give each man, woman and chile1 in the Uaited
States a two-pound loaf."
The electric light, which has been utilized
to grow flowers and fruits by night or on
cloudy days, has recently been employed with
good effect on board a West Indian s'.eamer,
to keep alive and flourishing some exotic vines
and other plants which weie being transported
to the West Indies for acclimation.
