The proposal to abolish internal
taxes, while keeping up the excess
sive and even prohibitory duties
levied under the existing system of
protection" means cheap whisky
and dear clothing; an untaxed beer
barrel and an excessive tax on iron
in every form; free tobacco and
dear salt; cheap cheroots and
high-priced printing paper. The
purpose of all this is to assure
continuance of enormous profits to
eastern iron masters, salt boilers,
wood pulp proprietors, and the
whole train of monopolists who

exactly the thing for a people situated as
We are here to have the tariff maintained
at prohloltory rates, so that we can buy
none OF the cheap goods which Great
Britain has to sell, and take the little
money We get for our wheat, which must
pc sold at a low price because, as we
Will not trade with our customer, We
cannot get ships enough to carry it away
and buy OF our protected" eastern
manufacturers the goods which we must
nave at the high prices which the tariff
enables them to exact. This is a good
policy to pile up the profits of the pro-
tected monOpolist, but bad one ior us
out OF whom these profits are drawn. 1t
compels us to part with our products at a
low price and buy what we must have at
high prices. And this is just what is the
matter with Oregon at this moment
Every item which enters into the pro-
duction OF wheat is taxed for the benefit
OF eastern mohopolists, even to the
farmers harness leather, harrow teeth,
the very bags he puts his wheat in, and
the iron rails on which it is carried to
TIDE water; and then because the ships
OIL our customers are allowed to bring
nothing to the country, but must come in
ballast. and therefore earn enough in
wheat charters to pay for the entire trip
around the world, our farmers can get
but little for their wheat, and that little
they are obliged to part with in buying
protected" goods at protected" prices.
This may suit the Salem Statesman, but
1t does not please those who have the
comprehension to see through the sophis-
tries OF the so-called protective system
a system expressly devised and NAM
tanned to enhance the price of American
manufactured goods, and to force non
communities, like our
selves, to buy them, who otherwise
would buy cheap goods from anybody
offering them. The political power
which maintains this unjust and oppres-
slve system is in our great eastern states,
and the victimized have not strength to
abolish it. But at least this power
should not cozen and hoodwink the vic
tim into the belief that the wholesale
robbery which it legalizes and maintains
Tor its own profit, is just the thing We
ought to be satisfied with. 1t is too

The Lumber Tariff.
daily oregonian, February 2l,. 1888

lbohy NitBoiiAit 1898.
The lumbermen of this country, SO far
as their views have found expression,
care nothing one way or another about
the question OF free lumber. The busi-
ness is here SO well adjusted upon the
proper basis OF supply and demand that
they have no fear OF competition with
British Columbia. In any event, there
is no danger of over supply or reduced
price. But in the old northwest there il
much division of sentiment. Lumber.
men are opposed to removal or reduction
of the tariff because, they frankly say, it
will bring Canada lumber into the coun-
try and reduce the price. From the
point OF view of the consumers of lumber,
who cutnumber the dealers several hum
dred to one, these are excellent reasons
for reducing or removing the duty. From
the point of view of the national good,
without reference to the cost of the arti-
Gle, change in the law which will in
crease the importation of lumber, and
check the rapid consumption of our own
pine, is most desirable. The lumber
duty is the most inexcusable folly and
iniquity of the whole monstrous bundle
of iuiquities and absurdities called the
tariff law. 1t cuts two ways. 1t taxes
the consumer to encourage the destruc-
ton Of the forests. Lumber is a peculiar
product, in that it is limited in quantity,
and, once the supply is exhausted, can
not be replaced for several generations.
The law should study the preservation
OF the forests instead OF encouraging
their extinction, should stimulate instead
of prohibiting the importation Of supplies
from other countries.

An inquiry is addressed to the Oregon,
ian by person who read its remarks Of
yesterday on Gloss of the Carrying
Trade" The inquiry is as follows, viz:
"Since we produce all materials that enter
into snip building. viz: timber, iron, etc
l am at a loss to determine what you refer to by
remarking: But such are the duties levied OF,
materials that go into ship-building. etc. viii
you please explain in what manner said duties
are levied on home-produced Materials
This inquirer is misled by his own
confusion OF terms. Though duties are
not levied on home-produced materials
that enter into ship-building, yet the cost
OF such materials is enormously increased
by our system of protection. We refuse
to let in the foreign article, but invite the
producer OF the home article to make the
price excessive, and 'protect" him in
doing SO. Just as our tariff on steel rails
increases the cost of all steel rails used
In this country, whether imported or pro.
duced here, SC our tariff on ship-building
materials increases the cost of all mate
rails of this class. Herein is one of the
causes why ship-builders of the United
States cannot compete with those OF
other countries. That We have in our
country all necessary ship-building
materials is bootless boast, so long as
our tariff policy makes them SO costly
that We cannot use them.

Thus our labor suffers
from a system of robbery,
disguised under forms of
quackery for pretended
protection Of American
labor. The stupidity that
doesn't see it, particularly
on this coast, where the
producing classes are so
plainly the victims of it,
is phenomenal and perhaps
hopeless. ---Daily oregonian,

INTRODUCTORY.

The articles contained in this
paper, and credited to the Oregonian,
are editorial articles taken from the
files of the Oregonian, covering the
period from 1880 to 1887, inclusive.
They comprise only part Of much
that that paper has had to say dun,
ing the time mentioned upon the
subject of protection and tariff
reform, and in exposure of the inn
policy and injustice of the present
system. They demonstrate the
soundness of the views contained in
President Cleveland's tar& mes
sage, and are in perfect accord with
all the essential features of the Mills
bill. They show conclusively that
wool and lumber should beu free /;
that the tariff on 4gs1 is
"a tax for revenue, and is directly
opposed in principle and effect to a
duty imposed for protectiqh," and
contain, therefore, complete ans
wer to the charge that the Mills bill,
which takes nearly $12,OOO,OOO of
of sugar, is partial and sectional in
favor of the Southern planters.
These articles expose in advance
the fallacy of revenue reduction
proposed by the Republican plat
form, by abolishing the interna
revenue tax, thus making whiskey
and tobacco free, while the neces
saries of life are made dear. In
short, these articles are unanswer
able arguments in support OF the
policy of the Democratic platform
and candidates upon the tariff ques
ton. .fTs
Aside from their intrinsic value
as q contribution to Democratic
campaign literature, these articles
have special value as an expires
sion of the opinions of one of tn
ablest and best known Republicans
on the Pacific Coast, upon the vita
questions of the canvas, made from
time to time during series o
years when these questions wer
not in issue between parties ant
when their consideration was no
biased by the prejudice of part
politics.

Sugar, Revenue and Protec-
ton.
Spaily oregonian. February "a, 1881.

= aaily Oregonian, February "a, 1881.
Again the principle known as free
trade does not contemplate the total re-
moyal OF duties. Such a result would
notbe contemplated. even if it were for
any reason desirable. Revenue must be
had and no method for raising revenue
has ever been devised which has, ON the
whole, been SO satisfactory as levying
duties on Imports. The whole question
,at issue turns on the principle upon
which these duties are to be imposed.
A duty ought to be laid upon those arti-
cles which will produce clear revenue
at least for collections. Sugar is one OF
these. Coffee and tea are also admirably
adapted to the same end though our laws
blunderingly exempt them from duty.
When such articles are taxed the whole
of the tax goes into the public treasury.
It is tax for revenue, and is directly
opposed in principle and effect to duty
imposed for protection" The object OF
those laws is not revenue. but prohibit
ton Of importations, in order to give the
home market to the protected class at
high prices. The members of the Iron
and Steel Association profiting i'm
mensely under this system, understand
its effects well enough, how much soeyel
their organ may attempt to disguise
them.

A Great Discovery,
daily Oregonian. November ~, 1882

lDhhy OIcBohinl, NoScmptT ~, looS-
All the taxes that spirituous liquors
and tobacco can be made to pay should
be collected. That is, the taxes on those
commodities should be kept at as high
a rate as possible without creating in
centives to fraud and 80 defeating the OBJ
ject. Another thing, if we strike off the
one hundred millions of revenue annually
obtained by the national treasury through
these taxes, then no modification of the
tariff on imports will he possible. There
is tax on all the necessaries of life,
amounting to probably $500, OOO, 600 a
year, which is paid by consumers, OF
which however, only about one-third
goes into the national treasury, while
the other two-thirds are divided as
special bOunties among favored indi
viduals and corporations. Free trade in
these necessary commodities 10 not ex-
pected or desired, but reasonable modi-
ficatiOn and reduction of the rates of
duty ought to be granted. At any rate,
whisky and tobacco ought not be the
only free articles which the American
citizen is allowed to buy and consume.
