HOW PROTECTION HURTS FARMERS;

HOW PROTECTION HURTS FARMERS,
The Baltimore Sun in reply to CORE
spondent recently. gave brief resume Of
our tariff rates for the past one hundred
years. From this ii is shown that the first
tariff law that Of July 4, 1859, levied duties
averaging s19 per cent. of the value of the
dutiable goods imported. Under the act
of 1924 the average rate of duty on dutiabe
goods was 81 per cent. The act Of 1916
made the average rate 25 per cent. OF the
value Of dutiahle articles. The effect Of this
reduction of the rate was 10 increase the rev.
enue from s26. 0OO 900 10 SAC, 600 900. The law
of 1857 made the average rate 20 per cent.
Between 1861 and 1866 the duty was put
high in order to get revenue with incl
dental protection for war purposes, and
these duties being favored by certain CAPT
talists were retained in the main. till 1890,
when they were greatly increased. The
average rate Of duty in 1888 was about IS
per cent. The tariff act Of that year IL
creased the average rate on dutiable articles
to about 4714 per cent. of their value. The
act of 1890 raised the average rate to about
60 per cent of the value.
Now let us see how this affects the farmer.
II is we'll known. TO start with. that while
be has to pay heavy tribute TO iron and
wool monopolists for every farm nipple
ment and every blanket or wooden article
of clothing he buys, he himself, when he
offers his products for sale has to DO in
competition with all the countries Of the
globe. There Is no real protection for
farm products, and all so-called protection
of that character is but a sham and delu-
sion for the purpose of deceiying the farmer
into voting the Republican ticket.
But his grievance does not stop here.
Suppose an American farmer desired to
ship his wheat to England for sale. When
he gets the money for it there he most likely
would like to invest in certain articles there
that he needs; but for every dollars worth OF
such articles that he buys he must spend
sixty cents before he can get il homo. In
other words he is forced to lose sixty cents
in order that some favorite child OF the Re-
| publican party may be protected. Nor is
this the worst; but he would have to IN.
dergo the same experience should he have
his money sent him from England. and de.
sire to make his purchases here, since this
average 30 per cent. of duty enables the
American manufacturer 10 add that much
to the cost of his products.
| Now hare YEA aaa M ,,lot,t-
can be seen, how the American farmer is
taxed by our Republican tariff for the
benefit of the monopolist, and yet now. Just
as the Democratic party secs light ahead
and there is a probability that it will be able
to relieve the agricultural classes of thi.
burden. Third party arises which
threatens, by weakening the Democracy, to
retain Radicalism in power. Was there ever
in the world such folly and blindness

WATSON. of Georgia, the man who ma
ligned and slandered the House of Repre-
sentatives, has returned to his home, and it
IS reported that he is very bitter against the
press. Very naturally Watson hates press
which exposes his hypocricies as much as
the thief hates the law that sends him to
the gallows.

Now that il is found that the negroes in
Alabama voted the Democratic ticket in
large numbers, the Republican party will be
more urgent than ever in demanding a
Force BILL and bill. too, that will force all
negroes TO vote the Radical ticket at all
times and under all circumstances.

IT will be remem bered that Mr.. Frick de-
clined to tell the Congressional Committee
investigating the Homestead strike, how
much profit there was in manufacturing
steel rails. 1t is stated that previous to the
introduction of improved machinery in the
manufacture of steel rails the cost of each
ton of rails at the mills was about 500 and it
is now said a ton OF rails can be made for a
trhe less than go. Steel rails are now
selling at $50 per ton, which leaves profit
of sl0 or 50 per cent. on the cost to the
manufacturer. Steel rails are protected

bill.

Wood, niece OF MIR. Goschen. Chancellor of

brick. a contemporary demands a much
severer punishment for such offences than
the law now gives. II says:
Legislation has for the last half century
tended TO lessen the penalty imposed for
these offences against the person. Begin
ming with death, the punishment has been
diminished until it is now but a term of i'm
prsonment. Public opinion Is. we believe
tending TO the demand Of a more severe
punishment. Capital punishment renders
convictions difficult; but if the crime con-
tinues as rife as it has been, mobs and
lynch law are certain 10 execute a righteous
penalty the law hesitates 20 impose. II is
to be regretted also that modern squeam-
ishness prevents the imposition of pun
ishment both deterrent and effectusl which
naturally suggests itself AS a fit punishment
for offences of this character"

that bees viii not go farther than two
or three miles for honey; others are
equally as sure that they will go
from FIVE to seven miles. Now, a
bees wings vibrate or beat the air at
the rate of 1870 strokes per second, a
curious fact demonstrated by Sir
John. Lubbock a few years ago.
Scientists claim that 100 strokes per
second would propel the bee forward
at the rate of a mile per minute
Conservative writers admit that their
velocity is at the rate Of at least
thirty miles per hour
Basing our calculations upon the
latter figures, and supposing that
they can keep up for twenty min
utes, no matter how heavily ladened,
on the return trip the rate of speed on
the outgoing, it would take them ten
or twelve miles from the home hive.

Lakes. While walking along the streets,
of Linkville, wooden sidewalks, Of
course, he was surprised to see dartingi
hither and thither snakes, little, big, old
and young, creeping, crawling every
where, into the hotels, dwellings, stores,
etc. Every knothole presented living
head playing peek-a-boO, or disap-
pearing tail doing the "whipcracker"
act. People do not kill them when they
invade their premises, only kicS them
out into the street as they would stray
dog or cat. Mr.. Gates says there are
millions of them, and he has photo
graph to substantiate his story. He saw
rolled into one mass bundle of reptiles
as big as a water bucket.
Every year the tosds by the hundreds
of millions hop along up from Lower to
Upper Klamath Lake. They can be seen
everywhere, and Linkville's snakes gorge
themselves from early springtime till
'holding up season in the fall. Mr..
Gates says if you turn one of them back
toward Lower Klamath he will make one
or two little half-hearted hops aud re-
sumo his pilgrimage toward Upper Kla-
math. This occurs year after year and
is another proof that oregon's wonders
are without end.-Heppner (Oregon)
