RIGHTS OF TIaE NonT1,wEsr

We uueL lnat no TeaQer OF the TRIBUNE
has failed to read the speech OF Mr. Wash-
burnc, delivered before the Farmers Conyen.
ton at Morris, and printed in the news col.
umns Of yesterdays paper The speech pre-.
sents most clcar aud forcefnl statement OF
the complication Of evils under which the
Inhabitants Of the great producing region, The
Northwest, are laooring, and suggests the
most practical, and perhnps the ouly possible
remedies.
The burdens which now weigh heavily upon
the great producing class in the Northwest,
and prevent them from rcapins any of the
advantages which other sections of the
country, and other classes even
In this section, are ard have long
hecn realizing from m uncommon demand
and redundant currency, are In good part
the results Of erroneous md sectional leeis1a-
tion by the Federal Congress. The first aud
most prominent fact Is that our prod
here IN the Northwest exceed the capacity Of
al The means of transportation. It costs
threefomths to get one-fourth to market.
Threc-fouths Of the valus goes directly into
the pockets Of small number Of corporations
and spectators, who thereby become rapidly
dch and powerful, while only the remaining
one-fon1th Is distributed among the vast
humber of producers. who, as consumers OF
the manufactured product that returns
In exchange for the crop, are those
who actually pay all the revenue which the
government derives from either the tariff or
The tax on manufactures. The character Of
that economy which wou1d refuse 10 change
this order Of thlngs-whlch would combine
with the spectators and ths shoddy corpora
ions to prevent such legislation as would dis
tibute the. three-1ourths among the producers
and &cave only the one-fourth to the non-pro-
ducIng cormo1ants-is not difficult to under.
stand. And yet this Is the yery sort of econ
omy that Congress in arranging the
present tariff law. and many features
Of. the internal revenue law, while It
has declined, on the plea of poverty. to
do anything toward increasing the trauspor
tation Of the great producing West, has Der.
sisted in ca11ying out.
Mr.. Washbu.ne indicates The secret of this
false and one-eided economy when he states
the fact that the Committee of yars and
Means which had the planning mud
arrangement of this all important mat
ter, WIS composed of two members
from New ENGLAND. two from New
York, and two from Pennsylvania and
New Jersey. while the ryrcaf Northwest with
eight millions Of inhabitants, had not one rep.
resentative upon that committee! The entire
arranecnent of the tariff and the
manufacturing and speculative interests

nta, willie the producing and consuming West
