DoIPh on the Tariff.

Senator Dolph made an elaborate
speech IL the senate "Wednesday upon
the tariff question. lie said lie had
been disposed, until it became ap-
paTeully the policy Of the adminis~
| tratioI, as well as by legislation pro
posed amaj0riiy of the house, that
eF,eTy leading industry OF the Pacific
coast was tLreatened with destruc-
tiOn, leave discussion Of the matter
IN which the revenues should be re-
duced to those better qualified by
long familiarity with the subject to
discuss it There was well founded
alarm among the people OF Oregon
and every where on the Pacific coast
at what they believed to be the
| threatened destruction OF many Of
their industries. The present admin
istTation came into power by the votes
of the solid South, and the hopes of
a continuance Of the democratic ad-
ministration was in the South. There
fore, when tie president eLdeayored
to force tariff policy upon the coun
try, it was necessarily a southern pol-
icy. Sugar Is to be protected to please
Louisiana, while wool and lumber
and the products and industries of
states from which there is 40 hope of
securing democratic votes in the
electoral college were to be placed on
the free list. He said the great in
dustry of the Pacific coast which
would be most disastrously affected
by the adoption by congress OF the
policy of the administration would
be the wool growing interest, that
California is the leading wool grow
ing state of the United states, and
Oregon Is fast taking rank beside
her; that In California and Oregon
there are S,G56, 72T sheep, nearly one
fifth of the whole number in the
United States; that no one should be
deceived. Free wool means that the
wool industry of the Uuited States is
to pc sacrificed for the product of the
cheap labor Of foreign countries; and
that millions of men are to be de-
priyed of their employment to fur
nish labor to wool growers and herd
ers upon the plains OF Australia, the
ranges OF South Africa, and the PAM
pas of South America.
lie said that by the Mills bill tim
ber and lumber are placed on the tree
list 10 secure a paitry reduction Of
revenue which might have been Sc
cured by reduction Of less than 2
per cent. of the present duty upon
sugar; that the forests of Oregon and
Washington We're an almost mex
hausuble mine of wealth; that the
numbering industry, if not destroyed |
by ruinous competition with the |
cheap labor and unlimited timber |
supply OF the British provinces. |
would for many years provide profit
able employment to thousands OF |
people
He mentioned fruit raising aud lead |
and other industries of the
OF the Northwest threatened by the
plan for revenue re.
duetion, aud that this threatened
bow at the prosperity OF the Pacific
coast was for the purpose of protect
ing the owners of n few sugar plan

,uarInG he profits Of their protected
industry with the men ;FhU manu- ac-
ureI the sugar, crush out every or

Senator Dolph, in his recent

Senator Dolph, in his recent
speech; urging adequate appropria~
tions for the removal of the existing
distractions to navigation of the
Columbia, pointed out that the en-
tire Union was Interested IN this
great work. Senator Dolph did not
exaggerate the situation. The Col.
umbia, with its great tributaries,
drain the state of Oregon, the terri
tories of Washington and Idaho, and
the extreme western portion of Mon-
tana. With an adequate appropria-
ton this great river and its branches
could be made the longest. finest and
most useful waterway in America,
except the st. Lawrence and the
Mississippi. The Missouri is a great
river, but since the building of the
great Pacific railways and their
branches it has ceased to be the
great commercial waterway of the
trans Mississippi region that is was
twenty-five years old Senator
Dolph, in his plea for an appropria-
ton proportionately to the magni-
tude and importance of this great
work Of improving the navigation IF
he Columbia. substantially repeats
the argument of Daniel Webster
made years ago N support of large
appropriations for internal improve
ments at the West.-Oregonian.

FORFEITURE.

WAsHINaToS, March I5.-AIthough
The house committee on pILiic lands
directed the preparation of q general
bill forfeiture railroad Hand grauia.
the whole subject wa5 opened TIP
a-Iresh to-day by the action Of the
subcommittee, which reported bills
for tho complete forfeiture of the
Northern and Southern Pacific rail-
road Land grants, and Il partial for
te!tur6 of the grant TO the Hastings
j Dakota railroad. the representa-
Of these reports occasioned a discus
sion from which it appeared that
there Was q misunderstanding, on
the part Of the members, of the pur-
pose OF the resolution adopted at the
last meeting Of the committee. With
a view to clearing thi5 au3 defining
the sentiment OF the committee,
Stone uf Missouri offered the follow
ing resolution: THAT ;i.c committee
adopt the principle Of declaring u
forfeiture of the entire grant where
the roads were not completed in the
cOntTC tine"
Herman moved as IA amendment
that the Northern Pacific be expected
from the operation OF the rule, and
argued that the committee should
first report bills forIeiting lands op-
posite unconstructed portions of tue
roads.
Thus the subject was carried back
to the position which it occupied be-
fore tie preceding meeting, and an
attempt was made to vote on it.

meeting.

ranging up so $500 az acre. Il is
n55 ordinarily expected that real es-

Many of our citizens have been

But a Yeritable boom is upon them
