TARIFF A TAX.
The Oregouian sometimes forgets
itself and lets the cat out of the
bag. In its issue of the 28th, it
has a very sensible article on the
tariff. It admits that the tariff is
a tax, and says that it is unwise to
raise too .much revenue, for the
raising of it would .be but "in
creased taxation." It does not now
intimate that "the foreigner pays
the tariff." It suggests that the
tariff Bhould be arranged on scien
tific principles, as the people would
resent too marked favoritism to
trusts 4C. The "science" to be
used means that the people must
be "scientifically" swindled, so
that they will not know when
they are hurt. The article pleads
for a moderate and apparently
equitable tariff, but the animus of
the plea is not that the great
masses of the people may be bene
fitted, but that they may not know
that they have been taxed - to
build up favored monopolies. This
is not the honest advice of a great
newspaper, but is the plausible
plea of an unscrupulous corpora
tion attorney which is the true
status of the Oregouian.
Russia is putting forth an effort
leading to an agreemeut between
the principal wheat producing
countries of the world, to fix
price on wheft which will be uni
formily through various seasons of
overproduction and unsatisfactory
crops, caused by drouth or con
tinued rain, and thus make the
principal grain staple upon which
three millionsof consumers depend
for food, almost as unchangeable
in value as gold itself boa become.
This would -enable the producer,
in the event of an unusually large
crop, to store his wheat and obtain
thereon a loan that would tide
him over until wheat was in de
mand in the world's market, when
he would get a full and fair price
for it. Ex.
The commissioner geheral of
immigration, in his annual report
shows that during the last fiscal
year the arrival of immigrants in
this country aggregated 343,26(5, or
which 310,4(18 were landed and the
remainder debarred and deported
at the expense of the various
steamship lines by which they
came.' The statistics .at hand, the
commissioner general states, "do
not justify the conclusion that our
alien population is growing in un
due proportions."

SIB MEMORY AT FAULT.
1 heard a very runnv stnrv of the late
Judfw Black unit David w! Sellers, the
well-known Pennsylvania railroad solici
tor, the othar day, relates a contributor
of the Harrisburp Telegraph.
The Judge and Hr. rMleiuwern or piped
on the eanie side as eounecl, ina prom
inent ease to be tried in Harrislmrg, and
both met by appointment at the aarne
hotel. They consulted all the afternoon
and about four o'clock Mr. Kellers re
narked that ho was very hudgry and
.aegaated dinner.
The Jud:o said that was n cnoil sufj
ostton, but Insisted on poln.?' to a res
aurant tor dinner, to which Mr. Boilers
consented. Five o'clock arrived and
, jollers grew Impatient
"I'm very hungry, Judge." said ho;
" let's get that, dinner."
"All right, Dave," was tho Judge's
roply, "sot ma my hat and come on."
The twain-atartcd out toether, the
Judgo having hold of Mr. Hollers' arm,
talking all along about the enso they
were engaged on. Sown Market street
they walked until they came to the
railroad.
I dont see any restaurant here," said
Mr. Sellers.
" Must be on the other Bldo, Dave,"
said the Judge, looking about him.
They crossed Market street and walked
up as tor as Third, halting on the Telegram
corner.
"Well, Judge," aald Mr. Sellers,
"whero U iUt restaurantr I'm very
hungry."
"I dcclsrj I didn't see It," replied the
Judge; "oil, now I know whore It is.
Up this way," and he led Mr. Sellers up
Third street.
They wit on and on until they got
to Fine, waea Mr. Sellera again broke
forth:
"Come, Judge, produce that restaur
ant. I'm very hungry, and this delay Is
positively annoying !"
"Hold rn, Dave," said Judge Black,
"I 8M-l'vn made a mistake. That res
taurant Is down this way. Yes, now I
have It (or certain. It Is down this
way."
And he led the half-famished Mr. Sel
lers, down Third street, past Market,
until their slow pace brought them to
Chestnut street.
" There'6 no restaurant here," said Mr.
Sellers.
"Why, yes," said the Judge, looking
up at the Reformed Church, "this must
be It, but it s shut up. Mo, this is not It.
This is a church, Dave. It's a church."
" Well, I see that for myself," was Mr.
Sellers' answer, and then he remarked :
"Judge, I'm very hungry aid tills delay
Is positively aggravating."
The Judge stood in the middle of the
pavement twirling hla tobacco box In an
absent-minded way. Suddenly he turned
on Mr. Sellers and a bright light suffused
his broad countenance as he said :
"Why, Cave, I've made a mistake.
That restaurant I am bunting Is In Bal
timore! Yes, it's in Baltimore, Dave,
and not in Harrlsburg. On Eutawstreet,
In Baltimore, and here we've been hunt
ing It all the afternoon."
Mr. Sellers was speechless. He said:
"Come on, Judge, let's go back to the
hotel and get a cup of tea," .
And they went. . '
