Sunday evening about s o'clock as Mr..
e. Wolford of Marion County, was returning
home from Silverton, where he had been
with his two daughters to attend the dedi-
cation services of the new NJ. E. church, the
horses became frightened and ran off a
bridge about four miles from that place.
The carriage was upset by the tall, and
Gertrude Wolford was thrown under the
horses feet and she was tramped to death.
A little nine year old daughter of John VOL.
ford was also an occupant of the buggy, and
sustained some INQUIRIES. The balance of
the party escaped unhurt. The little girl
and the remains of Miss Gertrude were carr
ed to farm house about two miles further
on. The unfortunate lady was about 21
years Of age. The funeral took place at
Silv@ton yesterday.-Standard.

Chinese Murder er.

Some Weeks ago Dewar, tax-collector
at Kamloops, British Columbis, was missed
from his post and it was suspicioned that he
had been murdered for his money. About
two weeks ago suspicion pointed toward a
Chinaman, nicknamed ''Smart Aleck, who
disappeared ooincidently with Dewsr. A
search of the chinaman's cabin finally re-
vealed the murdered body of Dewar buried
ten feet bslow tho surface. The murderer
had run a drift from his cellar into the bank
and carefully concealed the opening Smart
Aleck was heard from in the vicinity Of
Fort .Colville and special constable went in
search of him few days ago.

Washington, Nov. 20.-The argument of
| the Metropolitan Industrial League before
the tariff commission, prepared by Chas.
s. He'll, of the state department, has just
been issued from the government printing
Office in volume of 200 pages, supplied
with diagrams showing the degree of infiu-
ence that the several conditions affecting
the results of thetariff have in the principal
countries of the world. Mr.. Hill recon-
mends a rational reduction and abolition of
the duplex system IN cotton goods, an in
crease of rates in hemp, jute and flax, pro-
lection to American wines and brandies
against foreign adulterations, material
changes in rates in metals and minerals,
and that duty of 81 per ton be placed on
iron ore; also slight notifications in bread
stufffs, provisions and animals. The exist
ing average rates of sugars are generally In
dorsed- But abolition of the duplex rates
is strongly urged. Silk culture and reeling
is also recommended; the abolition of duty
on lumber is likewise advised. In wool and
wooden goods simpliication and consis-
tent revision contemplating change from
the duplex system to an ad valcrem is rec
ommended. A duty of ten per cent on qui-
zine is advised. To the free list is added
25 articles heretofore rated, among which
are spirits OF turpentine, sponges. crude
salt petre, rosin, asphaltum and nitrate of
lead. material change is recommended
in the internal revenue tax involving the
abolition of the tax on most articles now
specified. Referring to the revival of our
merchant marine, Mr.. Hill says: "ln our
industries at home as well as in our credit
abroad there is no source of personal en-
plooment and national pride SO great as
ship building. Congress properly should
give subvention to our mail transports and
the demand for American ships will imme-
diately prove the fallacy and absurdity of
the saying that Americans cannot build
ships,' and the foolish assertion that tariff
of five per cent on ships cost for crude
material could affect the conditions of our
shipping community. A tariff tribunal
composed of the U. s. commissioner of Gus
toms, representative selected from the
merchants or manufacturers, and third
Arbitrator selected by both, similar to the
provision of the tariff law of France, il ear
nestly recommended.

ORIGIN OF FREE TRADE AGITATION.

During the Presidential campaign
of 1880, the claim that free trade
was advocated in the interests of me-
chanics, artisans and factory hands
was effectually exploded. The howl
ing against the tariffs as vehement
as ever; but, if the motive of the out
cry be asked nowadays, one is told
that the interests of the Western
farmers are being trampled upon by
the protectionists. The free traders,
who were so full Of compassion for
the oppressed working men of the
East, have suddenly wrenched their
sympathies away from that class
since the said Eastern workingmen
voted solidly for protection, and have
transferred their compassion TO the
Western farmers, who are rather
unpromising subjects for sympathy
since they do not appear to realize
their misery. According to the free
trade theorists, a Western farmer
should be weary looking man in a
chronic state OF encouragement,
whereas, in fact, he is an energetic
good uatured fellow with no idea
that he is being imposed upon. Now
why this waste of pity? Why this
excessive anxiety concerning an ap-
parently we'll satisfied class? The
explanation is in the origin of the
free trade..doctrine. The free ira
ders of America are professional
howlers. So says the Walla Walla
Union. They are smart Alecks
whose only way of attracting atten-I
ton is advocacy of some new theory.
They are by turns Greenbackers,
Prohibitionists, High License Men,
Civil Service Reformers and nothing
long. Does it ever occur to these
fellows that England has free trade
policy, and yet, of the hundreds of
thousands of workingmen who have
come from that country to this, few
have gone back? All through the
Western states are colonies OF Eng-l
lish farmers. Farm iaborers they
were in England, farm owners they
are here. They would not choose
The Unitef States for their home if
hey were not better off here. As a
matter Of fact, not one English work.
ingman in twenty ever returns to
to live, after years stay
in America. He is far more likely to
90 to England for brief visit, and
bring back with him to the United
States all his kith and kin. Since
with the free trade policy, England
is not 80. desirable a residence as this
with its protective legisla-
Lion, what is the sense of immitating |
England in this matter2 |
