HAVE W. a "REvEsrg TARifF."

Every man in any degree ia
millar with our present tariff and It's
operation knows that II Is weighted
with anomalies at once absurd and
fraudulent. Many articles upon the
list aroprotscted by prohibItive duties
which take countless millions OF dol
lars annually out OF the pockets
OF American consumers for the
sole benefit of favored monopo-
lies that do not employ, all told, a
hundred workingmen.
BY way OF example, rice Is subject
at present to duty ofs5 per cent.
Diamonds pay only 10 per cent.
Now, will anybody tell Hs how the
countryIyould be ruined II the poor
mans rice pudding was reduced 10
half It's present cost, and the rich
mans brilliant solitaire made some
what dearer?
American copper mines are so well
"protected' against competition that
our manufacturers are compelled TO
pay more for the crude article than
1t is sold for in Europe after being
carried, from here across the Atlantic.
OF course, scarcely pound OF copper
Is imported here, and the Govern,
ment consequently derives no
revenue frcm the article.
The duty on fine laees Is only 35
per cent; the duty on the poor mans
blanket is 100 per cent, making 1t
cost him just twice Its market vaIus
for the sake ofa few radical miiI-own-
ers in Rhode Island and Massachu-
setts, who employ but fow hundred
"hands," and grind these down 10

Revenue aud protectlen absolutely
exclude each other. They have
nothing in common except that they
have been combined by law. The
people of tho United States submitted
to taxation, because they thought II
necessary for revenue, and tho pro.
tectlonlsls seized the opportunity to
load the truly productive industries
Of tho country with heavy burdens
which give the governnen, not ono
cent OF revenue.
Any tax which acts protectlvely
keeps imports out andlhey produce no
revenue. Hence, protection and
revenue exclude zach other. The
tax thon falls on the pe9ple, but the
revenue all goes TO tho protected
producer.
In 1877 the imports of copper were
$50 in value, and they paid sii.5e
duty, The tax was therefore 3sl
per cent. ad valorem, and was pro-
hibitory, and the tax TO that amount
paid by the people TO the American
copper miners, who have The richost
and most accessible mines In the
world, produced no. cent of revenue
The imports of copper manufactures
were $50 600, and the revenue $40
900, or 37l per cent, which shows
that the tax was almost prohibitory
but also that the tariff was IDEAS
loss to the copper and brass manufac
turers. II the copper aud bras
manufacturers could hold the marke
with less protection than the raw
material had, they could hold ID with

BULLY FOR BILL WATKINDs.

For years the editor Of tie OreJoAia1s
and other Republican newspapers and
stamp orators have been calling the no
torious W. III. WAtkinds thief, liar,
svindlsr, ETC., charging that he was dis
honest in his management of the peni.
tentiAry during Mr. Growers administra-
tion. w. Stanley, the pet of the celebrat-
ID now odious, investigating committee,
also took up the fght, and in letter in
the Oregonian charged that Watkinds
stole from the State Sl16,52 10. The
redoubtabls William bided his time and
waited until his suit with the state came
to . close, which, when it did come,
eGectually disproyed all the charges
made against him. Then it was his
time. He first secured the indictment
Of ''the pet" Stanley on the charge Of
libel, but District ATTORNEY Caples
managed it SO that this gentleman slip
ped through the clutches of the Law and
was not tried. Watklnds then brought
his artillery to bear on larger game and
instead Of standing a suit for damages
The 0regOnian institution now rolls at
his feet and makes the following abjsct
apology:
During the absence of the elitor of
this paper Ia the year 1880 communi-
cation written by ". Stanley was inad-
vexteRtly admitted into its columns,
chargingI w. III. Watkinds, formerly
superintendent of the Oregon peniten-
tiary, with having stolen the sum OF
$116,528. 40 from the state, which
money, it was alleged was largely used
in corrupting membsrs of the legislature
and buying their votes to secure the
election of L. z. Grover to the United
States senate. Upon les face the charge
was utterly absurd and false, and Mr..
Watkinds was informed that it had been
rrintedby inadvertence, and without the
beast design of injuring him. lie has
attempted to obtain redress against the
writer, which has failed, because, as be
says, the district attorney refuses OF
asglects 10 prosecute Stanley upon any
indictment against him. he therefore
thinks it only just and fair that, mas
much as the charge against himself was
printed in this paper, it should be fully
retraeted by it. We are entirely will
ing to do Mr.. Watkfnds this act ot
justice, and have from the FIRST assured
ham that it would be done whenever he
desired it. Under the circumstances
above detailed it is How due to him
and hence the explanation, with ths
retraetion, is made.
And still the end is not yet. We
cannot refrain from swinging our hal
and yelling at the pitch of our lungs
*sBully for Billy Watkinds Punch

they are at executing. . 1t is an easy
thing to build structure in one'a head
