THE MOUTH OF COLUMBIA RIVER

We have received a pamphlet containing cer-
tain articles and letters, which have appeared in
the W ashington "Union,'' and which, relates to
the harbor at the mouth Of the Columbia. These
productions are by Commando Wilkes on the ore
side' and Lieutenants Knox and Reynolds and
passed midshipmen Blair on the other. Both
parties are quite personal in their remarks, and
the commercial interests of the country are not
likely to he much benefited by the discussion
Commander Wilkes, who had the command Of the
exploring expedition, has a very poor opinion Of
the harhor in which the United States ship Pea
cock was lost, while the other officers, who actual
surveyed the harbor, speak of it as being quite as
good as the average. They say that, naturally,
the haTb0r is as good and safe as that of New York,
and that by means of bnoys. lighthouses, &c. &C.,
II may he rendered as excellent as any harbor on
the Atlantic coast. Their opinions are given at
length, and fortified by certificates from several
other officers of the expedition. and by the opinion
OF Mr.. John magnin, president Of the New York
association of pilots, made mp from an accurate in
spection of the chart published by Mr.. Wilkes.
As before remarked, there is much personal fee ling
between the parties, hut from the pamphlet it
would appear that Mr.. Wilkes, having in his mind
the unfortunate loss of the Peacock, and having
little practical experience of The harbor in question.
with lis breakers, channels and landma rks, and
without any Of tbuse safeguards with which mod
ern science has defended the mariner, has greatly
exaggerated The dangers Of the mouth of the Col
umbia, and has been hasty and dogmatical in ex-
pressing his opinion. His letters betray the same
spirit which is apparent in his record of the ex-
plorIng expedition, and which is TOO apparent in
those volumes to need description.
We may add that the commercial interests Of
the country call for a foil description of The cOas!
which will some day or other become Of so much
Importance TO our merchants and seamen. This
description should be detailed and accurate, made
up with due reflection, and without exsggeraiing
either the merits or defects Of it's subjects.

HON. THOS. II. BAYLY'S SPEECH ON
THE TARIFF-

In looking over the admirable speech of this
gentleman, on The subject of the Tariff, delivered
IN the HOnse of Representatives on the 3Otb of
July, 1916, in order to refresh our mind. We
were forcIbIy attracted to this sentence which. in
that rich array of incontrovertible argument
stands prominently forth, challenging and defvipo
all The arguments Of the wing sophists, and tariff
supporters to cOntrovert it. 1t stands in our vie W
as a bold and iinpregnable argument against all
mat can be said by our opponents, in favor Of tax
ing the whole t,renty millions Of this country for
the PROTECTION Of some eight hundred thou-
sand manufacturers, capitalists, EMPLOYERS and
employed, included. He was combs ttioo tbe
faIIacIous idea advanced by Mr.. Collamer. Of
Vermont, and it is one that is pressed tbror,bor,
the country by shallow but wordy tariff par,iz,,s
that a protective tariff enables our manu- rers
to sell their goods cheaper. Mr.. Bayly saws
But let rs examine this proposition q l,,lo
more narrowly. IF this strange effect is prodnced
how is it? The price of an article is composed
of three Ingredients: first, the price of the raw
material second, the wages of labor; third. The
profits Of The capitalist. For instance the price
OF the coat | have on is made up of The price of
the wool the wages Of the labor which has con.
Vefted ! into lis present shape, and the profit
whlch the capitalist has made. Now, if the effect
OF the tarIh is to cheaper the price Of cloth, il
must be by cheapening the price of some one of
these component parts of it. Well, which is il

that it is necessary TO enable him TO carry on his
business. These gentlemen bring themselves to

street TO street, compelling them to surrender
Monterey with all its supplies of ammunition, pro.
