ACKNOWLEDGES THE CORN.

Tho Washington correspondent Of the
orrgoniap gives the following detailed
statemeutof the provisions Of Springer 4
bill revising the woolcn schedule Of the
Mckinley law;
There has been n substantial agreement
by the wool special committee Of the demo-
cratic majority q the ways and means com
mittee on provisions Of the wool bill, The
The changes made in the bill drafted by
Springer have not formally been made up,
but very substantial reductions will be made
In the duties on wo1len manufactures Of all
by the Springer bill. The ad valorem
including cloths. dress goods, carpets and
all other wooden articles imported under
the Mckinley law. and whOEe rates were
left unchanged by the Springer bill, have
been cut down wherever in exceas Of 40 per
cent. and the average rate Of duty proposed
by the new bin on wooen goods IL about
3 per cent below the uniform rate Of 40 Der
cent fixed By the Mills bill. Under the
agreement wool is nade free. as proposed
by Springer bill. All duties on wooden
manufacture. where they are 40 percent or
leas under the existing Law. are unchanged.
When they are more than 40 per cent they
are reduced 10 that rate 30 that no woolen
duties will be higher tan the Mills rate
and those on the cheaper grades Of goods
will be less under the Mckinley law, the
duties range FROM 30 10 60 per cent no that
a reduction Of ~ per cent is made from the
highest rate now imposed. and the average
rate is brought down to about IS per cent
on shoddies and waste. The agreement |
adopts the Springer rate Of 30 per cent
against the present rate Of 30 cents per /
pound. All compensatory duties, Of course |
are taken OF. as raw wool il made free, 20 |
the present per pound and per yard duties |
will be abolished If the bill become n law.
and only the nd ynlorem duties retained. |
The members OF the committee say the wool /
bill will be the principal measure reported.
and an examination Of its provisions Will
show not only no steps backward have been
taken IN tariff reform. but that step in ad-
vance Of considerable importance has been
taken, and that the wool schedule is regard.
I'd by all tariff refornsrs as the key TO the
protective system. The reductions made |
are greater than those proposed by the dem
ocrats two years ago.
This statement Ia 20 at variance with
what the 0regonfa" has heretofore alleged
% be the democratic position on the wool
and woolen goods tariff that we arc pleased
10 zee IL 80 openly and notoriously contra
dieted by its own chosen correspondent. II
has heretofore maintained that the demo-
ratio purpose was to put wool on the FREQ
list and to retain the duty on woolci 3. But
here il appears that the democrats propose

20 10 $50 per cent down TO s. and 40 per

'kindness" we take peculiar pleasure in
10 the 0regonian the wide dis
'repancy between its own and its cores

A WASHINGTON DEMOCRATS OPINION

J A.Ruhn, Washington's member on the
democratic national committee, who returned
home from meeting of the executive COM
mittee, says Grover Cleveland will not re-
ceive the democratic presidential nomina-
ton. He bases his opinion upon the minute
observations which he made ut various po-
litical centers he visited during his eastern
trip. He says the selection Of Chicago as
the place for holding the democratic nation

It means that a western man will receive
the party's nomination for president. and
that man viii be General John NJ Palmer.

Colonel George o Brown. one of the
editorial writers of the Baltimore SHH,now
here a, the poultry association convention
today said:
al tell you Cleveland will be the demo
cratic nominee. Hill has disgusted the
people of the south and Yves, by his polit-
ieai triekery. Ills calling of the conven-
tion so early as he did Is ,hs beginning OF
disgust even among the people In New
York. The democrats once plainly showed
that Tammany Hall did not rule the maa.
They will do 1t again. Cleveland has out
lined the policy upon which the success of
the democracy hangs, and inasmuch as he
has been president, and good one, he
will not be showed aside for a mere poll
tician. The people of the south want
Cleveland. They are going to the con-
vention to fight for him as only southern
ers can fight. This talk of Hills boom in
the south is poppycoek. You can put 1t

A proposal to return large proportion
of Russian peasants to a condition of serf-
dom is one of the sad results of the Russian
famine. 1t is said that the czar is seriously
considering the consolidation of estates un-
der many of the old conditions. The peo-
pie are so broken down by hunger that to
obtain bread for themselves and families
they are likely to submit to any terms the
czar may propose. The average allotment
of land is about twelve acres to each fam
lily. This since the famine does not provide
enough food, and the owners of these allot-
ments are in as sore distress as any. Yet
the authorities give aidonly to those who
own no property, and this inevitably forces
the starving owners of small places to sell
for whatever they are offered. Against this
policy Count Tolstoi vigorously protests, as
he sees that with the breaking down of the
small landholders the best hope of Russia
will perish.

ATTACK IN LErAlL

The policy of attacking the tariff in de-
tail has met the approval Of the whole edu-
Gated democratic press.
1t gives promise Of accomplishing some
thing Of reform at time when no reform
can be accomplished in any other way. II il
therefore practical policy, and il is oppos-
cd only by those impracticables who care
more for theoretical issue" than for the
actual accomplishment Of results.
Now that Mr. David A Wells. who repre-
sents tariff reform unmixed with party pol
itics Of any kind, has written letter to Mr.
Springer approving the policy of attack in
detail, perhaps. the impracticaties viii
graciously consent TO think little about
the matter before further condemning the
programme as an abandonment of reform.
