' a (From Thursday's Daily.) t The speech of Secretary Shaw at Morrisvllle, Vt.. on the lth of August, was an epoch In the campaign of 1?02. Its Importance and its significance can hardly be overestimated.1 The.country was ready1 and willing for such a speech by the Secretary of the Treas ury. More than. ever, after reading this speech, will the, country congratulate itself and the administration upon the retirement of a very feeble and Ineffl dent minister of finance and the in stallation as his' successor of a man ot brains, a man' of mark, a man who knows something . besides how to lend other people's money, a man.who has studied economics While studying finance?; and" has accordingly learned the important truth that a sound eco nomic condition is an 1 indispensable condition precedent to a sound finan cial condition. What Secretary Gage did not know about the tariff and .Its relation to the general welfare of the nation would make up : a very large volume. What little he did, know he knew wrongly and for the most-part as a free trader knows it. i But here comes a man from Iowa whose horizon has not been bounded by a bank counter, who has seen a bigger world, a world of more consequence, a world of farms and factories, of mills and mines, of forests and fisheries, while at the same time he has not neg lected to look over the world of finance. Speaking as the fiscal mouthr piece of the administration, this wide open eyed man tells the country what it wants most to hear at-this time, and that is -that the thing "to consider Just now is the" prosperity we haveand bow not to fool it away on half-baked, pre mature i projects of - tariff reform and tariff revision. -White not opposing changes in the .tariff schedules when such changes are iTalnly called for by altered conditions.- Secretary Shaw would ?treslst the rrort of the opposi tion to reyisg the ehtire tariff law. thus paralyzmg business for a season." He doubts the wisdom of instructing or exacting "pledges from candidates, for Congress aa "liable to precipitate a pro tracted debate with very uncertain re sults." In his opinion no condition at present exists which calls for or Justi fies any disturbance of the tariff sched ules on any other than strict protection lines. -Most emphatically and specific ally he reject the plea that tarifT revis ion is necessary Ibecause of th trusts, or because somebody Somewhere thinks he would be the gainer by a reduction of duty rates ays the Secretary: . There ougTit to be 4me more tan gible reason for , such a dangerous ex pedient than the existence of a sent! ment in. certain local-Ues, now as al ways, that demands-a reduction of the tariff on articles there consumed and not produced, while It stands ready to fight to a finish any reduction on the things there produced. "I, for-one, must have a very bitter and relentless enemy before I will con sent to carry yellow fever germs Into my home town. Don't misunderstand me. I am not comparing the 'readjust ment of a schedule here and there to an epidemic. Rut I do declare that there has never been a revision of the tariff In the Interest of free trade or for revenue only that has not proven as fatal to business as the plagues of Egypt." Still more explicitly Secretary Shaw declares: , ' t ., "I am willing to-concede that condi tions change, and that the old Morrill bill of the sixties, for Instance, when the country was involved in war, would not be appropriate for us now, but , 1 will not admit that the tariff is the mother of trusts, nor will .1 that a tariff for revenue only wftl de stroy trusts .on any other theory than that a fire in a wheat field will destroy Canada thistles.! ' The precise attitude of the stalwart protectionists has never been more clearly expresd than in this state- rc"The protective tariff, - ays Mr. Shaw, "is not the mother of trusts though it is the parent of conditions that make it profitable for capita ; to combine and congenial for labor to or ganize." He adds:; "The Republican party in my state recently re-afflrrned the tariff p of I90L This has caused considerable comment. It has been "V ' not quite aa persistently, but in the same way. that the memorable speech of President McKlnley at Buffalo has been misrepresented, misquoted, mis construed and misapplied." The significance of this remark will be appreciated by those who have wil fully and falsely, sought to show that President McKlnley favored .relaxa tion or the principle Of P?1 apir On the subject of removing thef tariff on meat and cattle a a meansof cut ting down the current prices of meats Secretary Shaw Is cogent. Clear and locafHe demonstrates eolvelj that for this grievance tariff rtPPjn would be o remedy. It would hurt the fmerT'but would not hurt the Beef t for the Utter would still con TSe'to buy and handle al the cattle axd all the meat tns would corney in ?rom Mico and Canada and South S,c. even though the tariff irents a pound on meat and 27 Pt clnion cattle were whollr- removed Nothing now prevenU the fJ butchers from biylng .". J J from the fanners and selling It rect o consumers at lower than trust prices -that is. nothing but: the superior cap ital and equlomeut facilities 5 of the -reat packing concerns that k.1,f The trust; This superiority of capital, equipment and resources would after the tariff had been removed, and the butchers would be no better IMen than now in thelr-strugri against monopoly. Let Secretary Slw teU m reason for the present hgh price of meat wholly outside cf the operation of the protective tariff: "I have taken . occasion to look this matter up since rtaraas of these reso lutions, and I think I can ftnd reason for4 the present price of meat other than the protective taritt . I find that there w ?re received at the stock yaf in Chicago, in the one m or. rn of Juiy, 1W2. C3.C00 less beeves and 170.000 less hogs than In the same month one year ago. That means 7,000 less animals per day. " -. y.: . . "The Burlington road alone, during the entire , month, brought from the Southwest, where the corn crop was failure last year. 1.000 less fat steers r day this year than last. "Let no one understand this to be a defense of the packers or an extenua tion of their offer sea, A suit is now pending against them, and tt the alle gations of the "petition art sustained (and that seems probable) they are go ing to have trouble, and it will take a very touch more acute form than it would jto say to the farmers of the United States that their industry shall be opened to competition from the un limited ranges of South America.!. 'A world of wisdom is contained in the following illustration of the secret of prosperity: . . -. ; The senior Phil Armour told me that he got rich while a young man by watching the Iron and owl miners. "He said. Vher.ever these men were at work I used to pack every ham I Jcful. get mv hands on. and my old partner would say: phii. ycu win break us ud.' I would answer: 'No. chose fellows are working. But when the coal ar.d Iron workers were Idle. I used to sell everything I could dispose of. . . "The secret of American prosperity, gentUmea, can be 'couched. In four words "they are work:ng-jiow." And "they" means everybody--f armer snd artisan, mechanic and merchant, the man at the force and the man in the .leld "and they are all indecendent. -"Away back In ISiS Daniel Webster In the course of a three days" speech against - that most unfounata bill which repealed the protective tariff act w hl h bore the" signature of : Old Tlprecanoe, uttered this maxim, 'When theije is worklfor the hands, there will .be bread for the teeth. ' They are working now!" That is the 1 whole secret In four words. And Secretary Shaw asks the voters of the United States to see to It that this con dition is not changed. How not to change It? Compel all tariff reform ers, all tariff revisionists, all tariff tinkers of every Krt and kind to "go away back and sit down." Prosperity IS the Issue. The country has a good thing.. Let It alone.

The Kind You Have Always Bought S9 xear3 vae In Use For Over 30 Yearc PROGREES IN HOP YARDS Many Growers Will Finish Picking on Next Monday y THE TROUBLE pN THE IJOItES RANCH IS 8 AID TO HAVE BEEN SETTLED A CHINESE GROWER THREATENED BY HIS PICKERS TESTERDAT. From nearly all the yards come re ports of rapid progress, and a splendid quality of taopa. ' many of the yards the( crop will have been gathered, or nearly all Saved by tomorrow (Satur day) night, while some of the larger yards will have another ten days pick ing. In the north end of the "county the -yards smaller than those In "this section are being rapidly harvested, and there picking will" be generally fin ished by next Monday evening. Many of the pickers from Jhat section wfll then move this way, and attempt to se cure work ln the larger yard Tn Polk and. Marlon counties south of here. where tbe work is a trine later, and the yards are larger. The trouble in the hop yarda south of thi city, seems to have been. In the main, . amicably adjusted.' In a few esses there were some pickers sent out of the yards, bat by far . the greater portion of 1 them are at work. In the Holmes yard, south of Salem, run by T. A., Llvesley & Co.. the trouble was settled yesterday, and Mr. Llvesley. In speaking of the matter last night stated that he had sufficient pickers to handle his' crop, and picking was going on sat isfactorily. "Everything was quiet he said, and "that the disturbing element had been removed. In case of a short-, age of pickers today sufficient had been' engaged to come in and help handle the crop. This firm Is paying 40 cents a box. the ruling price of the season. Fpeaking of the trouble, Mr. Lrlveslcy deprecated the wMe publicity given thematter, saying that the trouble only expended to a small per centage of .the pickers, who have gone out. the rot having returned to work, and . there i now irace on the Holmes tnrh. Home of the pickers claim the trouble grew out of dissatisfaction with one of the bosses in the yard, and this culminated In demand for higher pay. From the Oliver Beers yard, eight miles northiof -this city, last night, ramd a report of trouble. The lessee of the yard Is a Cvlnaman. and hs has In his employ, a white "yard boss" and white pickers,: YeMerday, It H stat ed, the pickers demanded an Increase In pay, and in the dispute that result ed, the Chinaman and his white "boss? were ruriWT the place. They came to town, alleging their lives had been threatened, and laid their troubles before-the officers. It Is their intentloa to return to the yard this morning, and there settle up with and discharge the pickers who refuse to work for the pre vailing price of 40. cents. A deputy sheriff will accompany them snd will protect the Chinaman and his white companion from violence while- they settle with the pickers, y , At Beak Ranch. - LINCOLN, Or.; Sept. .-Your corre spondent and about 200 other Intelligent people are encamped on the Horst Bros.

There was some effort to orranlxe-a general strike for M cents a box. but it ended" In failure. as most of us did not sympathire with the move ment, though, most of th hoo people can well afford to pay the advance this season, because of the advance in price of hops. Many Salemltes are I here, prominent among thena being the ma jestic and picturesque 'Barney' who is earning, as far as I can see, fair wages. He will probably spend most of his earnings In .
