Fairhaven Herald: "We must bend our

sources if we would see our cities grow ana
prosper. The chief source of state, national ana
private opulence is in the well directed and I'M

ever be proportionate to the increase OF the pro-

Good roads are an absolute essential TO the oe-

get them the sooner will the era OF our perman-
ent prosperity begin"

grades of pig iron are sold for less than the
English prices.
"our Reliance" bleached shirtings are
selling for So cents yard, although the
duty is AZ cents yard. Under the Nc
Kinley act the tariff on this grade of goods
was raised from to AZ cents. Notwith-
standing the increased duty the price has
declined x cent yard. If the tariff is q
tax il should be added to the cost of the
same grade of cloth in Manchester, and
this would make the price cents . yard.
But it is only 81 cents.
For these statistics We are indebted to
the Philadelphia Press, which concludes
its argument Figures and facts as follows:
The tariff promotes competition at home, and
thus reduces rates The average weight OF a
fleece of wool in Ohio twenty i've years ago was
three pounds. Under the tariff the improve
ment in sheep breeding was such as to bring
the average weight up TO six pounds to the
fleece The farmer could thus sell for lower
price and still make more money.
That is the way protection works. And thus
we find today prices lower all around than they
were when the Mckinley bill passed congress-

notes at the parity.of greenbacks and gold.
This silver Law contains a provi-
sion relating to the redemption OF the
treasury notes, issued IN payment
of the silver bullion, as follows:
''That upon the demand of the
holder of sany of the treasury notes
herein provided for. the secretary Of
the treasury shall, under such regulations
as he shall prescribe, redeem such notes in
gold or silver coin at his discretion, it be-
ing the established policy of the United
States to maintain the two metals on a
parity with each other upon the present
legal ratio or such ratio as shall be pro-
vided by law" This provision secures to
every holder of legal tender treasury note
issued for the purchase of silver bullion
the payment of the face value of the note
in gold if he desires it. OF the conse-
quences of free coinage, John Sherman
forcibly says:
With free coinage the market value of the bul.
lion fixes the value of the dollar. The Mexican
dollar contains more silver than the American
dollar, and yet the Mexican dollar is worth
about as cents, because in Mexico coinage is
free. and the American dollar 10 worth 100
cents, because in the United States coinage il
limited. so in all free coinage countries where
silver alone is coined il is worth its market
value bullion. In all countries where gold
cireulates the coinage of silver is limited but is
used as money in even greater amounts than in
countries where coinage is free. This Is the case
In France and the United States. The free coin
age OF silver in either would stop the coinage of
gold.
The immediate effect would be to give to the
producers of silver bullion sI.29 for each ounce
OF silver, now worth 100 cents, but the certain
result, and that right speedily, will be to de-
monetize gold and substitute the single silver
standard, and gold will be boarded or exported
and held at premium.

feet apart with but two vines to the pole and
but one pole to the HILL 1t takes $50 hills TO
make an acre. At the rate this compact block
OF land, consisting of sic hills, yielded, an acre
would yield 5592 pounds of dry hops.
Knowing that the yield was enormous and
that this statement m ght be questioned, nave
taken especial pains to prevent any mistake one
man was specially detailed to keep the account

General David A. Russell, whose monument
was unveiled last Sunday st Winchester, Va.
where he fell in battle September l9 1864, served
as a captain with his regiment, the Fourth U. S.
infantry, in Oregon and Washington for several
years just preceding the war. General Russell
was killed while rallying his division, which
had broken under the terrible fire of the enemy.
He had already received a severe wound when
his division broke, but he refused to leave the
field. and, riding forward, his lines were under
heavy fire reforming when be received his Sec

THE PROTECTIVE TARIFF NOT A
TAX.

Sugar was placed on the free list because
after a century of protection we produced
but s per cent. of the sugar we consumed.
The duty was clearly a tax, and hence the
Republicans removed il in face OF Demo-
cratic opposition, but in the matter OF ar
ucles which can be produced at home as
we'll IS abroad very different result is
shown. The figures concerning the steel
rail industry are Instructive on this point.
In 1867 the United States produced 2,777
tons of steel rails, and the price was Sl66.
Under heavy protection the production
increased in twenty years to 2,tOi. 904 tons,
and the price went down to $50 ton.
Steel rails are now selling. delivered on

say nothing of the freight rate. But steel
rails are selling for $50 ton in both
cities.
Pig iron is another object lesson for
those persons who are never weary of
shouting that 1.-The tariff is tax" In
lSSo the average price of pig iron in this
country was $3.50 ton. At that time
Great Britain produced considerably over
twice as many tons SIS the United States
Now We produce much more than Great
Britain, and the price has fallen 10 SIT a
ton. The tariff is 1872 ton. The price

The charter revision committee last
night took into consideration without
action an amendment to rectify the over
sight by which the word current" instead
of ensuing" year was used in reference to
taxes. 1t makes the necessary correction
and next September the levy will be made
for the ensuing" year. But what about
1892? The present tax levy is for 1891, the
next, as proposed, will be for 1893. Some
temporary provision must be made to au.
thorize making levy for the intervening
year

The Republican members of the city
council should not allow themselves to be
persuaded to repeat the mistake of defeat
ing the judgment fund ordinance. They
might very benefcially amend it by
making the interest on all judgment fund
warrants payable semi-annually; and that
provision would probably meet the OBJ
jections of those who are opposing it. But
in the present condition of the city defeat
of the measure would be very serious.

In imposing sentence upon a saloon
keeper convicted of selling liquor to a
minor at Walla Walla on Thursday, Judge
Upton said some very properly severe
things concerning this very common
crime. He was entirely right in charac
terizing the act as infamous and
in imposing penalty that will
be warning to saloon-keepers in his dis
trict. 1t is to be hoped that the good ex.
ample thus set will not be lost upon othe,
judges throughout the state.

There is no direct connection between
the two subjects of free trade and free sill
yer, but they are linked by inalienable,
although distant, commercial influences
1t looks to an observer as though England
desires to have the American market
thrown open to her products, but insists
upon payment in American gold. Her
fox-like policy is to educate US to believe
that what is good for the British gander is
good for the Yankee goose. 1t doesn't
follow.

The Boston Journal has this to say
Of Pennsylvania Governor: "Gover-
nor Pattison's Presidential axe must
be desperately dull that he is obliged
to subject the State of Pennsylvania
to an expense of $50, ,O)O for the sake of
giving it a grind. II the Governor
had really desired to punish offences
by executive officers he had two courses
before him, other than the calling of
the Senate in special session, and
neither of them open to constitutional
objection as to that. His attorney.
general could have been instructed to
prosecute in the courts, or he could
have convened both Houses with a
view to impeachment. But Deither
one of these would have done any
thing towards turning the Governors
political grlndstone."
