The art Of living seems to be one of

TARLEE PROBLEMS.
Democrats For Reduction, Republicans
Seeking to Substitute Abolition of
Internal Revenue.
WAsHINeToN, Jan, l6, 1888.

WASHINGTON, Jan, l6, 1888
The present prospect Of tariff legis.
latiOn may be thus stated ;,--
l. The democratic majority OF the
Ways and Means Committee are pre-
pairing bill which bill will be based
on large free list Of raw materials
aud combining with that tariff reduc-
tions on manufactures, so proportion
ed that in most cases the duty remain
ing will secure equal or even some
what grea,e er protection to manufac-
turers than they enjoynow, wi en- they
must pay heavy duties for rev mate
rials.
For instance, woollen manufactur-
ers have at present protective duty,
averaging sixty-eight per cent; but
they must pay an average OF thirty
six per cent duty on their raw mater.
isl, wool. Their net protection there
fore amounts to only thirty-two per
cent. But il the democratic tariff bill
should give them free wool and thirty
seven per cent protection on their
manufacturers, they would in fact bp
five per cent more highly protected
than now.,
DEMOCRATS FOR RETRENCHMENT,
This, in general, is the plan on
which the democratic tariff bill will
be based. The main object is to re.
duce the surplus revenue in snch a
way as at the same time to reduce ex.
orbitant duties and still secure tt
American manufacturers more com
pletely than under the present tariff
the control Of the home market.
To take wool as an example again
it is evident that with free wool and
and dye stuff and net duty five pei
cent higher than it now is, American
wo0llen manufacturers will muci
more completely command the home
market than now or ever before, anC
so far from the low duty on woollen,
increasing the revenue it will under
the circumstances be largely decreas

his reasons for this unconditional

the party is a crank who is fast
trcading his way to the asylum.
The Multnomah democrats, we may
add, are too greedy for the spoils to
work in harmony in any public
cause; they present to the minds
eye just the same gaunt and raven

striking realism in his cartoons a
few years ago. In Baker county
there il bitter strife over the legis-

nominated while the county is en-
