Old Bceswnz Reads the Paper.

Mr.. EDIToR.--In the issue next
to the last of your paper, | see
communication from one B. Rea-
gan. the great burden of whose
complaint against tbs Sub-Treasu-
ry bill is, that ii requires the gov
eminent to borrow money at 4per
cent and loan it to the farmers at
1 per cent, at a loss of 3 per cent,
thereby making a loss to the gov
eminent to be made up by taxing
the people. Now if he is correct
the bill is a very bad affair. L
think L have read the sub-treasury
bill, and certainly did not see it
as did Reagan.
Not knowing Mr.. Reagan 1 con-
eluded that he was an old, one sus-
rendered hayseed that depends
upon some one else to do his read
ing, and is ready to believe any
thing that he hears; scouts the
idea that the earth reyolyes be-
cause that would empty his tank at
every top.
In your last issue l see reply
to Mr.. Burns. The first thing |
saw in that communication that
stretches my imagination so yio-
lentIy is that S2410 last January
was tho greatest per capita circu-
lation in the history of the nation.
Frontiers poor sheep man great
ly excited my sympathy until 1
happened to think that the tariff
enabled him to sell to us his wool
at 10 cents more than its real
worth. My tender sympathies
were also round in old Rogers and
COOLERS. Then ] reflected, old
Rogers could have the bill amend
ed.
Frontier assume that Macune
is to manage the finances all by
himself, and thqt none of the rest
of the boys are to have anything
to do.
But the most remarkable part of
this whole thing is that live n.
c. man which Frontier discovered,
and stranger still are the wonder
full statements said Tarheel made.
Great scottsl What has poor Polk
done to carry HIM down to the I'M
fashionable depths Of degradation,
beyond the recdgnitioa Of the
grand old parties? Now honeAtiy
Frontier, you hoaxed. That tar
heel is contending for the 'Annias
and Sappira belt" and what is
more he has won it, as the people
Arson and Union counties, N. c.,
are dead sure to award it to him on
his last statements
Now Mr.. Frontier don't talk SO
20
loud about free coinage and tariff,
lest your died-in the-wool democ-
racy be found unorthodox, or at
least not suitable to the latitude OF
New York and Pennsylvania.
Don't you remember the position
of the mogul of democracy, Lord
Cleveland on free coinage? Don't
you remember the position taken
by the Randall wing of the demo-
cratic party on the tariff?
Dou't talk SO conidentially OF
platforms Of parties, for the people
think they are made to catch votes
and to be disregardedl afterwards
by our politicians.
Don't talk of the people govern
ing parties, for we don't know that
it has been done in the last twenty
years.
Mr.. Editor, 1 have been reading
the News ever since l came t.
this county, and 1 am glad to say
that [ thinklt has vastly improved
within the last two months. Bye
Bye. ScATTERGUN BEEswAx.

JEFFERSON AS A PRoTECTIONIsr.


Among the resolutions passed at the
Spokane Democratic love feast was the
following:
We renew our pledges of devotion to the prin-
c1ples OF constitutional government as origl-
mated and advocated by their author, Thomas
Jefferson, and as enunciated by the national
convention OF the Democratic party in 1854 and
1SSS.
Let Us see how Jefferson stood as pro-
tectionist. The Democratic missionaries
who addressed the annual Spokane seance
maintained that the tariff of Jefferson
averaged only ~ per cent. These mis-
sionaries are evidently not familiar with
Jefferson's tariff. In the eight years Of
Jeferson's administration the average
ad valorem rate on all imports, free and
dutiable, were 1915. In 1904, In the midst
of Jefferson's administration, the average
rate was q. 40, not ~ per cent. In 1920
the average rate was 22.29; in 1880, 1871;
in 1910, 15.45; in 1850. q. 16; in 1860, 1857;
in 1870, ABB; in 1880, 29.7; and in 1890,
20. IL.
These are the average rates upon all arti-
cles both free and dutiable. Under the
act of 1789-s'the tariff of Washington
the duty on common salt was 10 cents per
bushel, and later in Washington's time
salt was increased to 20 cents per bushel.
Under the law of 1890 it is less than cents
per bushel.
The duty on coal under the Washington
and Jefferson tariffs was equal to $1.40
ton; while the tariff on coal under the new
law is IS cents a ton.
The duty on coinage under the Washing
ton and Jefferson tariffs was cents and
"a cents a pound; under the new law it is
~ cents pound. The duty on nails I'M
der the tariffs of Washington and Jeffer-
son was cents pound, and under the
new law it is cent pound.
The duty on Irvine and pack thread I'M
der the tariffs of Washington and Jeffer-
son was cents pound; under Madison
cents pound, and under the new law it
is from ITO of a cent to ~ cents pound.
The duty on raw cotton under the tariffs
of Washington and Jefferson was cents
pound; under the new law it is free.
The duty on molasses under the tariffs
of Washington and Jefferson was cents
and cents gallon; under Madison it was
10 cents a gallon, and under the new law
it is free.
The duty on sugar, brown and raw, un-
der the tariffs of Washington and Jeffer-
son, was 21z cents a pound. Under the
Madison tariff it was cents pound, and
under the new law it is free.
The duty on loaf sugars under the
tariffs of Washington and Jefferson was
cents pound; under the Madison tariff it
was cents a pound, and under the new
law it is half cent pound.
Under the Washington tariff there were
but seventeen articles only free Of duty, as
follows: Saltpetre, tin in pigs, tin plates,
lead, old pewter, brass, iron and brass wire,
copper in plate, wool, dyeing woods and
dyeing drugs, raw hides, beaver and other
furs and deer skins.

The Tacoma papers display great good
feeling over the cordial way in which
Seattle turned out to the exposition on
Saturday. The Ledger of Sunday says:
cone would hardly have believed Seattle
had so many people in it. Posi-
bly, Porter and Prosch were right about
that census, but it never seemed so till yes
terday. They came as the leaves
come when forests are rended. They came
as the waves come when navies are
stranded. If Seattle ever needs
big delegation from Tacoma for
any purpose except election pur-
poses. she only needs to send
over" The Globe of the same day
says: "When our sister city met her great
misfortune, not many months since, Ia
coma proved her sincere sympathy and
kindly feeling by being first upon the
ground with financial assistance. Our
nelghbors have not forgotten it. This
fall, when Tacoma prepared magnificent
exposition of the resources, products and
industries of the state, all sections of the
state joined with her cordially, and few
more warmly than Seattle Yesterday.
which was designated as Seattle day, Ia
coma and Seattle were practically one.
The bond of friendship and fraternity was

he knows that most of this will be pro-
duced here under the protection given by
the new tariff law, and knowing this he
did not speak seriously when he asserted
that the tariff on farm products cannot
possibly help the farmer, but his spirit OF
humor tempted him into testing the
capacity of his audience for swallowing
flapdoodle, which is defined in Peter Sim
pie as ''the stuff they feed fools on" 1t is
pleasant in politics to find a statesman
with more humor than Senator Edmunds,
who has nothing but salt rheum. Senator
Esheiman is a more versatile and less
acrid humorist than our own Edmunds,
for he always manages to divert both of
the great political parties when he makes
a speech on the tariff.
Bynum, of Indiana, is another promis-
ing Democratic humorist, for he is the
author Of that current political pleasantly
that the increased duty On wool is the
cause of depressed prices, and yet in the
same speech he maintained that the tariff
is tax. Of course Mr.. Bynum is too
bright and well-informed a man not to
know that while the Mckinley law has
given the wool grower better protection
than he ever had before, the Mckinley
law does not fix the price of foreign wool.
The Mckinley law cannot keep the wool
of the world from falling in price; 1t only
defends the American wool grower
against wool produced on cheaper lands
and by cheaper labor in other
countries. OF course Mr.. Bynum knew
all this. but he INDUCED his humorous de-
sire to test the credulity of his audience,
even at the expense of his reputation for
intellig ence and veracity.

THE STATE PRESS.

Paiouse Gazette: "a bad man Is worse when
ne pretends TO be saint.
Paiousa Gazette: cit would seem that the
Democratic circus now showing on the Pacific
coast would have a better field OF operation in
Ohio where diversions of that kind would be at
least nearer q real issue than in the state OF
Washington"
snohomish Eye: "a great deal of wind broke
loose at Spokane last Wednesday when the
democratic orators uncorked themselves. IL Is
not our intention to say that the speakers pres
ent were any more windy than ordinary poll
tcians, but the necessities of the situation COM
PEELED them to speak, they had nothing to say,
and the result was we have remarked-wnd."
Centralia N7rs: "No good, well regulated
newspaper can very well get along and not be
picked at The Neus does not claim to suit
every body. We don't try to. We would even be
foolish if we attempted it, No matter whether
paper is run independent, Democratic. Repub-
lican, or for revenue only, some one will kick,
and therefore the Ners will deal only with facts,
in its own legitimate way, and those who do not
adhere to our line of thought are welcome to
think as they please. Thank Godl America is a
free country and We have a free press"
Fairhaven Herald: estate Senator J. T. Eshel-
man, of North Yakima. had the astonishing au-
dacity to assert in a speech at the recent Demo-
cratic love feast at Spokane that at was ours to
assist in the emancipation of the black slaves of

reverend senator desire to confess ignorance of
the Charleston resolutions OF 1860, of the whole
contemplate record of his party, as party, dur
ing the war. and of the platform of 1864, which
expressly declared the war q failure, demanded
cessation of hostilities and denounced the adj
ministration Of President Lineoln7 Possibly If
the senator was better posted upon the record of
his party he would not be q member of it."
Cathlamet Gazette: attorney General Jones
has decided that the reading of the Bible in the
common school is strictly religious exercise
within the meaning of section IL, article 1, of
the constitution, which expressly states that no
public money or property shall be appropriated
for religious worship or instruction. This
opinion will settle forever the mooted question
OF the Bible in the school-room. While we are
loath to admit that the use of the Bible is
against the best morals OF the scholars, still, in
justice and fairness to Liberals, Roman Cath
olics, Israelites and Protestants alike. who were
they In the majority in any sections, would
naturally enforce the use of their particular
creed or religion, it Is to the best interest of all
concerned that no religious exercises be in
dulged in. The home is the place for the foun-
dation and growth of religious life in children"

The charter revision committee last
night took up the question of the annual
tax levy, proposing an amendment which
will meet the difficulty. The question
was raised by Mr.. Shipley that the fiscal
year began on April L, and that therefore
the tax levy should be to cover the period
between that date and March 81.
The language is not very explicit
but it is to be hoped they do not conflict.
The necessity of an immovable date for all
city accounts is paramount. 1t is imma-
terial on what date the taxation begins, as
there is always sufficient time to collect
the taxes for the years expenses. Under
the old charter the year ended in June for
accounts, but the taxation began on April
/, as now. This is to meet the state law.
if the city retains its regular year, a change
in the state law would not result in throw
ing the city's accounts into partial con-
fusion.

ished production a. home and less employ
ment for home labor, and finally no employ
ment at all, and with that comes poverty TO the
people, which limits their capacity to buy
abroad, and following that, comes diminished
importations and diminished revenues, and then

And then there inevitably follows direct taxa

that the Republicans have righted that
wrong of the tariff of 1883, which the
Democrats refused TO right, Mr.. Bynum
declares that the increased protection to
wool has lowered the price and robbed
the farmer. 1t is hard to satisfy the DEM
ocracy. When the wool duty was reduced
by the tariff of 1888 il was robbery of the
farmer" Today, when the wool duty IS
increased, it is still robbery of the
