TARIFF ABsIRDITIEs,

The Hon. Abram s. Hewitt, In q
recent interview with reporter OF
he New York Herald, furnishes some
very sensible aud incisive views in
regard to our present tariff system.
Mr.. Hewitt among other things said:
am extensively engaged In get
hing out Iron ore. There Is duty OF
20 per cent. on iron ores, and would
have that duty abolished, both upon
principle aud for exp0diency. In.
ported ores arc useful fords In mix.
ing with our own, and the benefit
would be reciprocal. The duty acts
aIan obstacle 10 tho best interests Of
this industry, yet IL the proposal Is
made to abolish II, Ii will meet with
active opposition from the minlng
furnaces Of Pennsylvania, Virginia
and West Virginia, because OF tho
popular ignorance of tho subject.
My friend, MIR. Randolph Tucker,
as free trader, would find his views
IL opposition to those of his constitu-
encles, aud his vote might aflerward
lead TO his defeat al the polls or Ia
convention, whereas with u full dis
cussion of the matter the facts Of the
case would be- made plain. Again, /
have interests in the manufacture OF
steel rails, upon which there Is n
duty of SIS per ton. When 1t was
imposed English steel rails were
quoted ut Si50 per ton, and tho duty
was, therefore, about twenty per
cent. Tae English rails are now S32
per ton, and the duty now amounts
TO about ninety per ceut Last year
tho demand was In excess OF tho sup
ply. so that tha American manufac-
turers could demand and receive
about the entire protective duty oi
ninety per cent, but with the In
evItable domestic competition the
cost OF the home article viii rapidly
fall, until, as | am convinced, after
the lapse oftwelve months tho in
creased prlce will be only sll per
ton, duty. | had inteaded Offering
a bill reducing The duty, rs the duty
was reduced on qulnine without ref
erence To oshez features OF the tariff,
but frankly,as told you, the effect ol
domestic competition will practically
D. TO reduce the price on rails with
In n year 10 tho point nj which my
bill would bring Ii. | am, however,
quite ready to advocate and 10 vote
| for bill reducing tho duty on steei
rails TO Sl4 a ton. THIS reduction
would not interfere in the slightest
degree with the growth ofthls manu-
facture. One mill for the manufac'
;are of steel rails in this country
with capital Of =, 100000, made 4
profit In one year Of 81, 900, 900
The "American Register adds thal
"lf there Is anything moro absurd
than this eternal howl for "prolec'
lion 10 American industry" wo have
set to hear OF II; and the fact stated
By Mr. Hewitt, that ''one mllf" en-
gagged in tho manufacture IF '-s.ee
rails" protected by duty Of niAoiy
per cent., "with capital If i've
millions, made a profit, IN tne yesr
OF five millions of doIIsr!" is cen
elusive evidence OF the fraud whloi
marks the whole system.

PAYErrB VALLEY, Jan lith, 1882
Editor Democrat
Thinking perhaps few remarks
from this part Of the wilderness might
be of some interest TO your readers, /
will send y'eu the following
Our quiet little village Is situated in
the heart of Payetto Valley, and con.
sists of ono general merchandise store,
one office, ono hotel, one saloon, two
feed stables, where tho weary traveller
can got his hsrse fed, and at the Pay
ette Overland Hotel he can get the best
meal that the country affords. We also
have in connection with tho above oAs
blacksmith chop, city ball, and a good
school house, whore We new have good
school, ably conducted by Miss
W.
This Valley is about 50 miles in
length, and from 4 to miles wide and
has all tho farming qualities necessary
for growing wheat, oats and barley.
But the great drawback ia that tho soil
will not produce very great yield with
out irrigation, which can be done by a
little labor and a small capital to push
she thing along.
This country IL being taken up very
fast. Col stevasen IS 90 have recently
taken up 2,50o acres in tho antiripa
ton Of having the railroad depot on
their land. As the IT, L. Il. X. is now
surveying the permanent line from the
mouth OF Burnt River cast 70 Granger
Stock in this part OF the country il
looking fine, and is fat enough FOR bee
and as yet have not been fed particle
Our cattlemen feel happy at tho pros
pcct Of good round ~ in the Spring
Cattle arc worth from SIG to % pei
bead according to ago.
Some OF the young blsods at Wuser
City got on IL jambsreo last SUNDAY ov
aning and concluded TO take in the city
but Sheriff Grey interrupted them anl
gave them good chase. But there werI
too many of the boys for bis majesty
and after cxeban ging few shots b
vas compelled TO give Up tho chase
Strange TO cay no one was hurt. One o
the deputies here was: shot in the nech
As yet 40 arrest, have been made.
Oar stages are delayed considerable,
Of late on account OF 30 much slush &c,
in the Snake River at Olds ferry. Yes
terday's stage was delayed six hour
trying to ct through the ice.
Weather clear aud cold abon
Two inches OF snow on the ground.

Col Elliott spoke al Scio en- Friday
afternoon, Jan. Goth, and by request
continued his remarks in the evening
At the close another League was organ.
izod with f. Bames as President and
o. l.. Hsldridge, Secretary. The fol.
loving preamble and resolutions were
adopted
WHEREAS it is the gdesirs, Of this
League to encourage the rapid develop
ment of our young State, and as the
building of railroads, when conducted
on correct business principles, are the
most benefeient agent inaccemplishing
such ends, and
WHEREAS, the sngrafsing of stock
gambling and other fraudulent devis o.
on the railroad interests of the State,
have astendeney to retard healthy do
velopment, and stock watering and po-
litieal control of tho State 20 hand in
hand, and
WnERrAssthe farmers and producers
Of Oregon are being robbed of the pro-
fts OF their labor by an organized ring
that is seeking to control the Offices of
the State through the political parties;
therefore be 1t
Rssotred, Thatit is the aim and object
of the League to agitate the question
of the necessity Of the producers in
forming themselves Of their rights un-
der the law, and to use their influence
by active participation in the primafs
and county convention of their respcc-
tive parties to the end that good and
true.msn may be elected to olfiee.
ResOIved, That we favor the protec-
tien of railroad interests, as when men
put money into such enterprises they
are entitled to fair return on the
amount invested.
ResolUed, That we condemn all at
tempts to defraud the people by mana
gers of roads obtaining donations 10
said roads and then violating the
pledges which they made to secure
said donations.
ResolOed, That railroad corporations
being created by laws passed by the
people, arc to be controlled in the in
terest of those who grant the special
privilege under which such bodies con-
struct and manage railroads and that
there shall be no discrimination of any
kind by such companies.
Resolved, That freights land fare On
railroads are subject to the control of
thc State, and that no device of the
stock gamblers shall be permitted to al
low freights and fares to exceed an
amount in excess of fair return on
the money actually used in eonstruc-
tion of railroads

WATsGS-MALL0RY.

We do not think the reason given by
the press for postponing the removal of
Mallory good one. The facts do not
point that way. That Attorney Gensr-
al Brewster should have tslegraphed
Mallory to go on with the duties of the
otfice until the election is over, in order
to keep it open to the best political
servant, is very thin canard. There
Is determination to retire Mallory. Il
was this feeling that led Mr.. Watson
to go to Portland in answer Is re-
quest to take the Office of District At
torney if rendered to him. Congress
man George did not favor Mallory
There was no oae urging Mallory's
name for the position. When Mr.
Watson left Portland it was thought
81 would resign at once, and he looked
about and arranged for his successor
This part of the program was not only
well canFassed, but aroused Mallory to
more thorough defence. He became
candidate for Congress, which Mr..
George could well understand. From
this moment opposition of Mallory
ceased and Watson's claims were drep-
rei. Behind all this is the fact that
Mallory must go. He certainly sees
this. His political harrangues will
not save him. The future incumbent
may not be Watson. The court is
supposed to be In the interest of Gibbs,
aad George is in the interest of FL. z.
Thompson. There are others who have
no political sympathy with the Ump-
qua candidate. The harmony of the
party viii not admit of a change now.
George cannot urge it uI4til be is seeure
IN his seat for another term. The pub
lication Of Brewster's dispatch would
b very proper now. Ben Brewster
oss MT bslong to that class Ct birds
hat saved Roma hence We viii never
80 ts4t dispatch. The whole thing Is
n open question yet and no cne can
name the successor to Mallory.

1t Is now d settled fact that the rail-
road will be built south to connect with
the California line, thus giving rs an
inter.coast road from Portland to san
Francisco. Instead Of one passenger
coach passing each way daily, we win
have a train from one to eight coaches,
and every town ON the line Of the road
will be benefited by this extension.
The tide of immigration that now runs
into the Columbia river, will be
changed to the overland route. where
facilities will probably be given by
which paasengees.may stop at different
points and examine the country.
While many now como 10y sea, there
are thousands that will set k the cars

men to encourage immigration. The
