OREGON AND PROTECTION.
President Donald Macleay, of the
Board of Trade, testified that the com
bination of cheap railroad rates on the
Canadian Pacific and the duty had de-
stroyed the grocery trade with British
Columbia. Oregon and Washington,
he thought, were the natural food sup
plies of Il itish Columbia.
"What advantage does Oregon gain
from the protective tariff sYstem4' asked
Senator lioir.

eyes, yes; I understand" sud Sena-
tor Hoar with II smile, '.yet last year
Oregon informed the country with some
emphasis that shs was in favor of pro.
lection"
"My reference to protection was only
in connection with Oregon's dealings
with British Columbia. think under
a reciprocity treaty we could hold our
own in British Columbia as against a
subsidized railroad. Gov. Pennoy er
told me that his lumber would be able
to compete with British Columbia lum.
Der with the American duty off"
Hon. John Minto, w. A. Wilcox
and b, Goldsmith deeply feel that some
thing must be done to relieve the fall
ing off of Portland business on account
of low rates and high tariff.
R. Jacobs, of the Oregon City Wool
en- Mills, made Senators Hoar and ALI
son open their eyes when he said his
firm sells some of their product in Bos-
ton and Iowa. He said the existing
state oe affairs in Brisish Columbia
had barred them out of that country
and destroyed trade of about 81 1000
a year. He did not blame the railroad
SO much as the high duty for this state
of affairs.
From the above one can see at a
glance that the adoption of the Demo
cratic doctrine OF reduction of the
tariff is our only Lope for an increased
business on the Pacific slope with the
World at large. 1t is dangerous un-
dertaking to put Chinese wall around
our great coHntry in the form of pro-
tective tariff. However, the near fu-
ture will vindicate our views, and we
can afford to wait just a little while

THE rREsTDN1s BROTHER.

It has remained for President Har-
rison to make himself responsible for
the most>pfonounced act cf nepotism
in the history of tie government.
Gen. Grants record in this respect
was notable, but he never went so far
as to give an own brother an official
commission.
The appointment of Major Harrison
to Federal Murshalship is particu-
lat!y bold defiance OF public opinion,
from the fact that the popular dlsap-
proval of acts of that description has
been so clearly expressed of late years.
1t comes directly upon the heels of the
Centennial celebration of the inaugur-
alton Of Washington, who condemned
family appointments in ringing words
which, just repeated. are fresh in the
ears of the people. 1t matters not
that the man was the supposed choice
of the Republicans of Tennessee, or
that ne may be well fitted for the posi-
tlon-the president has taken direct
ground endorsing the principle which
is generally and justly repudiated.
His action perhaps is manifesto.
ton of the independence Of character
which, according to report, he has felt
himself called upon to vind:cat". 1t
would appear that he has shown him
self net tn he afraid to do an, thing in
the appointing line that suits him.
That he has placed numerous other
men III Office Oh account of previous
personal relations is III Itself very
prominent fact, but his nomination of
his brother EN- IA isz-s his tendency to
error III this direction in most
marked way.
Fortunately, it IS not likely that he
will break the force of the Washing
tonian and Jeffe. sCnian tradition. The
current of opinion Is irresistibly
against him and le has weakened him
self seriously in ne popular esteem

1t Is generally thought that this

The Democrat. (Scotland Neck, Halifax Co., N.C.) 1884-1896, 1889-11-07

1t has always been a matter OF
surprise to US Why State or county
fair cannot be run without the press
ence and aid Of professional gamh-
Iers. AS the country advances in
progress and intelligence it would
seem that gambling ought to be
more and more condemned.
But it seems to be on the increase
rather than on the decrease.
We have attended no fair this
year but the one at Weldon and we
are free to say that we never have
seen so much gambling to the square
inch at any fair, State or comfy.
Now, there are some things that
merit our attention in this matter.
In the first place, it is v source Of
great annoyance and displaasure to
many Of the best AMI most sub tamil
al citizens Of the county. We Lave
heard some of the hest men connect
e1 with The Weldon Far say, that
they have lest interest in it la-g
on account of the broadcast Samhl,
Ing that is carried on,
Then it is directly to the djsal
vantage Of the very class Of pco. le
for whose benefit fairs hit to he
kept up namely, the farmers and
the sons Of farmers,
They are the bone and sinew Of
the land and Its support. The gaUb-
ling stands are very prcjudicIal
against the interest of this class Of
persons. They are attracted by
them and lose sight ri the iii play
and the real purpose of the fair.
They ought to give their time in ex
aiming implements. displays Of
fowls, stock and farm prodl.t'.
But the average country bog or
young man will go to the fair and
stand around the gambling tables
all day and never see anything else.
But do all these people gambling?
Perhaps not. But suppose they do
not? II is the wrong eiucation for
the young. Instead of having their
attention directed to the great pos.
sibih:ies for the development of Il c
country and thus eleva'e by am i
tions for excellence in such things,
they are brou ght face to face with
the very lowest classes both Of men
and women that can be found.
When a man gives his son a ten dol
lar note to GO to the fair and have q
good time, he simply sends him out
with ten dollars in lis pocket where
a hundred robbers are making great
efforts in broad day light to get his
money.
The modesty of Sou them ladies' il
also shocked ct being brought in al
most direct conta.t with a class Of
women gamblers who doubtless take
this means Of a1vertisin1 themselves
as candidates for money making,
regardless of the manner in which it
Is obtained.
We have said this much in what
we consider to be our duty TO the
public as journalist, watching and
thinking and spe king for the public
good.
The day will come, we believe,
when professional gambling in our
fair grounds will be suppressed, The
public are now demanding it acd We
expect to see i.
