MORE FALsEHOODS.
AS evidence of the extremity of vice

As evidence of the extremity of vice
to which the free trade party in
America, says the Inter-Ocean, has
descended, we copy these questions
and answers from so called "Protec-
tion Catechism' which is being sent
free of cost to many country newspa-
pers, and which has been published by
too many of them:
Q. What tax is levied on the ex-
change of mill products for farm prod
ucts? A, No tax is levied in many
cases. ard only very low free-trade
tax Oh all, except peanuts, rice, cane,
juice, hops and wool.
@. With what result2 A. That
the export of agricultural products de-
creased from $3.50, 1874, ,943 in 1881 to
S5Oo,S40,OS6 IN 1888, with corre-
spending increase in the exports of
mill products. The farmers lost 80
per cent. of their foreign market, and
the mill owners made gain of 46 per
cent. in their foreign market.
@. What was the percentage on
our total exports2 Il. In 1880 our
agricultural exports were S3 per cent.
of the total; in 1888 they were 73. In
1880 c1r mill products were 9 per
cent; in 1888 they were l9 per cent.
Observe the ingenious misapplica-
tion of fact in the statements concern
ing the loss Of "their foreign market"
to farmers.
Every farmer knows that home
market is most profitable to him. 1t
being more to his advantage to sell his
wheat at 90 in the Din than at 90 in
village two miles off; much more is it
profitable to him to sell at, say, 9S in
village two miles off than for the
same price in one ten miles off; much
more to sell in America than in Eu-
rope. The question really at issue is.
did the farmer sell more in 1888 than
in 1881? We take few figures from
the report of the commissioner of ag-
riculture:
In 1881 the farmers of America
produced l,l94, 900 bushels Of
corn. In 1887 the product was l.
4t6, ,1Sl,0 600. In 1881 they raised
3S3, ,2SO,000 bushels Of wheat. In
1888 they raised All. $4,000 bushels.
In 1881 they raised 100, ,l45,594 bush
els Of potatoes. In 1888 they raised
l34,103. 900 bushels. They raised 4l6,.
481 900 bushels Of oats in 1881, and
70l, ,735. 900 in 1888. A like increase
is notable in nearly all farm products.
They were all sold or consumed on the
farm. Surely the people who growl
about Liverpool fixing the price of
grain" should rejoice that while the
American farmer continually sells
more he continually grows less depend
ent upon Liverpool as tile consumer of
bis surplus.
Really and truly our exports Of farm
produce have far mere than doubled
in quantity in the last twenty nine
years; though, fortunately, they have
decreased in ratio of percentage to the
total crops of the country. Our agri-
cultural exports for the fiscal year
1889 were:

Astoria is in earnest about her rail-
road, and it will be built. The city
needs it for development, and the bus
mess men are alive to their interests.
A railroad will bring the city in direct
communication with the wheat-pro-
ducing Willamette valley, and will
divert large portion of the trade to
that point instead of Portland. This
means wealth to merchants, and they
are not at all back wards in UNDER
standing what factors they need to
develope the city. But Astoria should
not forget the great Columbia river,
which, if opened to navigation, would
make large portion of the Inland
Empire tributary to her marke is.
The railroad is necessary, but the great
natural artery of commerce for the
northwest must not be forgotten.

Our senator's in congress have intro
duced bills for two bridges across the
Columbia river, and little difficulty
has arisen regarding which shall take
precedence. The dispatches do not
state where these are to lie constructed,
and the location can only be conjec-
tured. If we mistake not, Mr.. Dolph
introduced a bill, and which finally
passed, for a bridge ecross the river
near this city; but as we have heard
nothing of the project for some years
We presume it died in very early in
fancy. 1t is hardly possible that one
of these bills now before congress is
for the bridge in which we are inter-

upon God and his attributes, and the

Once upon time q certain man got
mad with the editor and stopped his
paper. The next week he sold his corn
at four cents below the market price.
Then his property was sold for taxes, be-
cause he didn't read the sherifrs sale.
He was arrested and fined So for gong

didn't know it was Sunday, and he paid
$3 for lot of forged notes that had
been advertised two weeks and the public
cautioned not to negotiate for them. He

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The Southern Pacific will be the
heaviest loser by the severe weather
this winter. The road has been block.
AIDED for a long time, and no through
trains have run between Portland and
Sun Francisco for many weeks. The
traffic of that road must be excellent
the coming summer for it to bs in
nearly as good condition as 1t was last
year.
The Sioux Indian reservation has
recently been thrown open for settle
ment, and the mad rush for land is
equal to last April when Oklahoma
was given over to the public domain.
These land-seekers will have their
highest expectations sadly disap-
pointed in few months, and will then
desire to be back at their old homes in
peaceful communities.
Representative Wilson, of Wash.
ington, when he wants anything for
b state is not ashamed Co ask for it
in unmistakable terms. These are the
kind Of men the west wants, who are
not inclined to be mealy-mouthed ed
about requests. If we mistake not,
Mr.. Wilson will stand high with his
constituents, if not popular with the
department officials in Washington
City.
In Arizona the mad waters have
been on q rampage, and several per-
sons heve been drowned and much
property destroyed. The disaster is
not equal in fatality as the one in the
Conemaugh valley last summer; but in
both some one blundersd and innocent
victims suffered. If water is to be
damned, it should be done substan-
TALLY, and careful outlook should be
kept against the possibility of acci-
dent.
The location of the worlds fair in
1892 will come before the house this
week, and an interesting .ime may be
expected. Chicago, with her true
western pluck, will attempt to win the
rrize; and New York, with her pres
tig. Of being the metropolis, will fight
hard to secure the location. The west
is the progressive part of the country,
and will show to visitors the develop
ment of the country better than old
Knickerbocder New York.
Stanley advises the reopening Of the
Soudan by building railroads. The
6rst question will naturally be if they
would pay. The United States can
offer some points regarding building
railroads in desert countries and trust
ing to the roads to make business fos
themselves, but the advance OF the
American settler is a more promising
factor in such problem than the pos
sible adaptation of the people of the
Eastern Soudan to civilization.
Railroad rumors are rife in this
portion of Eastern Oregon. The
Hunt or some ether system will, with
out doubt. build down the Columbia
on the north bank, and we may expect
one or more local roads to be con-
structed from this city to the interior
or to Goldendale. The iron horse
will be active this season in exploring
new fields, and in q few months we
may expect that very little of the
northwest will be unknown to him.

We can't expect much done towards

We can't expect much done towards
completing the locks at the Cascades
this session of congress, for the reason
that public building has to be built
in Portland, and the entrance to the
river has to receive the lions share Of
appropriations. Perhaps this is fair
and honest; but we never could view
it In that light. 1t may he all right
for our congressional delegation to
talk loudly for an open river, and do
little for the most important improve
ments in the navigation of the Colum-
bia east of Astoria. Perhaps our peo
pie should not expect the locks COM

General Fiske still continues bis

The weakness of Germany is univer-

ism cannot stand where the people
read and think. There is great love
of country in the German race; but
whether this is strong enough for the
people to willingly bear the arbitrary
rule of Count Bismarck appears
doubtful. This is an age of progress,
and the cobwebs of superstition which
had dimmed the vision regarding per-

the English, the Germans act slowly;

cations are that the public mind has
taken step towards free government,

The Albany Democrat is mistaken
when it says We made mention of the
recent floods in the Willamette valley
in a spirit of malevolence and narrow
minded jealousy because that rich and
fertile portion of Oregon had sur
passed Eastern Oregon In growth and
prosperity. We must acknowledge
that while writing the article the echo
of some unfavorable comments made
by the Albany press regarding the
drought which this country suffered
last season, sounded in cur ears,
in which they greatly exaggerated
our m;sfortunes to our injury: Last
harvest Eastern Oregon suffered as
nearly failure in crops as i. had for
about forty years, and the Willamette
valley during the winter was visited
by the most destructive flood known
for quarter of century. Both of
these districts are rich in natural re-
sources and will soon recover the losses.
