based upon what has already been

Of its 10000. 900 acres OF agricul-

has been taken oi the dairy products
Of the territory. which come almost
entirely from the ranges.
We have no means OF ascertaining
how much wealth l. taken from the

must be immense in proportion to the
population, as prices for all farm
products range comparatively high
and we have 10000 people TO sup

gether with the value OF lumber and

4rARlrr W.. TAX :


The Herald OF Sunday treated lis readers
to a real article on the tariff question. We
are glad to see this The people have
right to know what the views Of newspa. |
pcrs are on suclsnll absorbing questions and
the reasons that sustain these views. II
quotes literally from the. New York Press
to show that manufactured goods are as
cheap and, in many cases, s,cheaper In Eng
land than In the United States. y does this
for the purpose Of meeting the demand
made by the democratic party fer cheaper
clothing and other necessaries Of life II
says common suit of clothes In England
costs $3.50 and the same here. An all-
wool $40 suit of American manufacture
costs just the same In England. Il says
also that all knit goods, especially Jerseys
and the common grades of stockings and
socks, ere cheaper there than here. And
that the price of blankets here and In Eng
land are practically the same. We do not
admit the correctness of these prices, for II
they are true foreign woolen goods could
not be imported into this country ataii'
How could an importer import from Eng.
land a suit Of clothes that cost him $3.50
then pay the duty Of $3.50 and the freight
besides, aud then sell Il In competition
with similar suit OF American make that
costs $50. II cannot be done. Neverthc-
less last year there were imported ovei
forty.two million dollars worth OF woolen
goods upon which, besides the freight, an
aggregate duty of more than twcnty-nine
million dollars had to be paid. These goods
OF wool, wholly or in part, were sold In
competition With the home producs,a thing
that could not, nor would not, be done II
they cost as much In England as they do
here. But for the sake OF the argument
out OF which truth should conceive viii adj
init that the Yeyaia's prices are true. Then
why the necessity of duty at all on such
goods The whole superstruciure Of that
amonstrous bundle OF iniquities and ah.
surdities called the tariff law" as the Orc
goHissa calls Il, Is based upon the idea that
foreign goods are made much cheaper than
our own,and the tariff is laid expressly for
the purpose OF compelling an increase Ia
the price of the foreign article when placed
upon our markets, In order that onI home
man ,facturcr may compete with the for
eign article. But II the foreign article cost
as much in the foreign country as arhome
article does, then Of course no protection Il
needed at ali. So that which ever horn oi
the dilemma the Herald ehooses to take, !
viii find itself In an inextrieable snarl. III
own statement of facts proves that there i
no necessity for any duty upon the articles
named.

A LITTLE FTeURTNG.

From Albany to Harrisburg in Linn
county Is twenty-five miles by rail- II re-
qnires 400 tons of steel rails to lay rail-
road track that far. The duty on steel rails
under the present law is SIT per ton, or
total duty on the rails necessary to lay
twenty-five miles Of track Of $37,4oo. The
Mills bill reduces this from $37.4oo to Sz4,.
200. The duty on the rails necessary to
lay one mile of track is Sf496. The rail-
roads do not pay this in fact, but the farm
ers, merchants and other people who pa
tronize the road il freight or travel. When
we consider the duty on all the other iron
and steel appliances used by railroads, this
tax will amount to $1,000 per mile. No
wonder there IS constantly growing de-
mand for reduction of the tariff.
