The Herald makes feeble attic npt to

du,y under the Mckinley bin l. two aud

This is a specific duty. The pres mi duty
Is 40 per cent al taiorem. Every one
knows that the price of jute sacks in India,
from whence nearly all importatlons come,
ranges from ~ to 4 cents each, a new
sack, OF good quality, weighs a pound, SO
under the Mckinney bill, the duty on each
sack woul be two and two tenths cents
Now Il a sack cost cents IN Hlndostan
ana the duty Is two and two tehths cents,
what Is the rate per ceat dntys Ii Is
mere question Of arithmcllci Every seheo
boy Knows Il to be 7Sti per cent This
then would be the duty under the Mckin
! lev bill while the present duty Is 20 pe
cent. Mr. Weatheriord Is right, In saying
the Mckinley bill increases the duty an
tits folly TO attempt 10 cover this matter u
with c.oud The HeTaiFS statement

the duty under the McKinley bill Is tn

BROWNSVILLE, May 22nd. 1890.
Last weeks issue Of the Brownsville
Times stirred up quite hornets nest In
our quiet little town. IL, as well as all
the other purely independent papers In
this valley, has announced itself In favor
Of Oregon's iayorite Governor, Sylvester
Pennoycr. Several ol It's republican pa
irons took exception 10 this movement,
but most all conceded that this IL free
country and that one has the right to
vote for wbomsoever he sees fit. However
one, w. IL. Kirk, president of the Eagle
Woolen Mills Co., determined TO sit
down on any such work. So with majes-
tic stride and with blood Ia his eye he
appeared at the Times Office and demand
cd Il retraction. On refusal he grew des-
pcrate in behalf Of his chief, { Thompson,
and ordered his paper stopped, and iurth-
or ordered that the small nd. OF the
Eagle Wooien Mills be removed. Such
are the methods adopted by Thompson
and those actively engaged in his interest
to secure his election. Mr. Kirk Is des-
perate since he has found the Times did
not Immediately succumb to his mandate
| and swears vengeance. To the credit oi
the Board ot Directors of the Eagle Wool
Ell Mills Go. bc II stated, they very en-
| phaticly informed boss Kirk that the
Woolen Mills were not political ina
chine In any ones interest, and as firmly
set down on the would-be political bose
| Republicans generally do not endorse his
action, and many OF them cannot endorse

boycott WAS made. The Times still lives

the Young man Is that h. has not yet

formation we will explain. q specific
duty l. one computed on the yard, number
ofartlcles imported, sizr. weight etc, With
out regard to quality or value. An ad
volem duty Is one placed upon the COS OF
the article imported without -egafd TO sizc,
weight, number, quality or quantity and Is
always an unvarying FER cont OF the cost.
The present duty on jHte lacks Is an ad
valorem duty of 20 per sent oi the cost.
The Mckinley bill, as the Hrrdii alleges,
places the duty at two aud two-irnths
cents per FOUND. Now then Il Is impossi
bic for these duties TO be the same exeep,
when pound OF ju,e sacks cost just FIVE
and half cents in the foreign market
from whence imported, for tao and two
tenihs is exactly 20 per cent OF iise and

cost from az TO cents each. Under tho
Mckinley bill II sacks cost ~ cents the
rate of duty Is IS per cent. When they

Farm H0IsE BURNED.

Fridayforenoon the large and handsome
farm residence of Mr. T. q Cox, six miles
from this city, was discovered on fire by
Mr. Jos Bilyeu,w summoned the neigh
bors, and an effort was made to at least
save some of the household goods; but
only an organ and sewing machine were
gotten out, when the flames became too
hot TO get anything else. The building
and everything else in it were entirely
consumed. The large barn, though on
fire several times, was saved by hard
effort. The house and contents were
worth at least $1,000, the place being one
Of the best in the country. An insurance
Of $1,000 in the State OF Salem, will parti-
ally cover the loss. At the time OF the
fire Mr. Cox and family were in Albany,
having come in early in the morning.
The fire, ii was thought, started from the
fire place having probably communicated
with the carpet, thence to the wood work.
