SEATTLE. WEDNESDAY,. APRIL IS
DEMOCRATIC DESTRUCTION Oh
AMERICAN INDUSTRY.

The Democratic proposition to make
binding Irvine free and cotton bagging free
means the destruction of two valuable
American industries. The present law
calls for duty of seven-tenths of cent
per pound on binding twine. This twine
is made from foreign products, manila,
sisal grass and jute, and from an Ameri-
product, hemp. The raw materials of its
manufacture are free.
Under the protection afforded by the act
1858, PA cents per pound, an American
industry was built up. and we now have
tl.irty-five cordsge and binding twine fac
tories, that pay out in wages to American
workmen the sum of 100000 annually.
Before protection the farmer paid IL cents
a pound for his binding Irvine, he now
pays ~ cents, and his entire supply is
furnished by American manufacture.
Even the Mills bill placed protection
of equivalent at present prices to cents
pound on binding twine. To put cotton
bagging on the free list is to destroy an
American industry without advantage to
the consumer, but to his disadvantage,
because it puts him in the power of foreign
monopolists. Cotton bagging is made
from jute, an Indian product, which is on
the free list. Prior to 1870 cotton bagging
was imported. The act of 1888 imposed
duty at the rate OF IL and 2 cents
per pound. The existing duty is 1
cent per pound. Under the influ-
ence of protection home indus
try, largely Southern, has been built
up. We have now sixteen mills in opera
ton, nearly one-half of them in the South.
We have invested a capital of over $780,
0O0 We can make the entire home supply.
While capital has thus been utilized and
kept at home and labor employed, the con-
sumer has been benefited. In 1872, cot
ton bagging sold at 1871 cents per pound.
In 1880 1t had fallen to 81 cents pound,
and since the passage of the Mckinley
bill it has rated at 81 cents, where it now
stands. Its price never has been 50 low
before.

which the duty was s2.37, whereas In April
he had sold similar plates, upon which the
duty was $1os, for 1882 box. In other
words, when the duty was raised SIS
box his price dropped s1.10-a way for
eigners have of paying our tariffs"
In other words, the foreign price OF TIN
plate was lowered by the foreigners at the
cost of their labor in anticipation of the
loss of the American market. and OF COM
potion with American producers. Great
Britain knew that we had the capital and
could manufacture our own supply and
she answered by dropping the price OF the
foreign product; the multiplication OF the
home industry will reduce the price OF the
home product. Under the Mckinney tarln
foreign raw materials constituting in whole
or in part the substance of American
manufactures are now substantially free.
As President Harrison, in his speeches,
has more than once pointed out, custom
duties collected on such at the time OF
their import are now refunded to the ex-
tent of so per cent. at the time of their ex-
port The New York Sun Dem admitted
the truth of this statement when the presi-
dent made it, and as Tildeu Democratic
protectionist approved of it as part of the
wisdom of the existing tariff. Reciprocity
under the Mckinley tariff means free
trade in non-competing products. like
sugars, molasses, coffee, tea and hides, and
asks foreigners in return to admit our
agricultural and other products free, or at
least upon terms that shall be considered
fair concession. The Democracy pro-
proses to mutilate the Mckinley tariff by
enacting free wool and reducing duties
upon the manufactured products.
The Democracy resisted putting sugar
on the free list, of which we could produce
less than an eighth of our needs. Of wool
We produce less than half our needs. and
under protection have the ability to pro-
duce it all, and yet the Democracy, "the
farmers friend" bowls for free wool.
The Democracy tells the farmer that the
Mckinley tariff has lowered the price of his
wool, and at the same time tells the con-
sumer that free wool will give him cheaper
woolens, and propose to destroy an Ameri-
can industry that employs 100000 men,
and whose preservation is important to the
wool growers of Eastern Washington and
Oregon

have caught salmon from the Columbia river
bar to the headwaters of the river, and have
studied their habits and manner of spawning.
They always select shoal above heavy rapid
Nature seems to have endowed them
with that instinct. The only reason /
can give for this is that they can
defend the spawn bed to better advantage
than at any other place. The spawn bed is
formed by scooping out a hollow placesin the
bed of the river, similar in shape to gold pan,
the sides being made very smooth so as to admit
the ova to roll to the center of the bed. The
female then takes her position over the spawn
bed to deposit her ova, which generally occu-
pies from twenty-four to forty-eight hours,
according to the Interruptions which generally
occur by the male, which often has to fight
some intruder away. At times there will DO
three male salmon engaged in battle over one
spawn bed, as there are always more males than
females at the spawning grounds.
1t is one OF the most interesting studies that
can be pursued, but in fact do not think there
are fifty fishermen on the Columbia river that
have ever made it a study, hence their Ignorance
in regard to the supply OF salmon. Perhaps il
they had they would take some steps to have the
three hundred machines that are now employed
in destroying our salmon, in the shape OF wheels,
traps and seines removed. The time is fast
coming when they will have to take some action
or quit fishing. There are not enough salmon
allowed to reach the spawning ground to keep
up tina supply and of the few that reach there,
nearly thirty per cent. get killed or de- es-
pecially the females.
Undoubtedly a large number of fish return to
the ocean after spawning l have caught them
late in the fall returning without any ova, hay-
ing examined scores of them Just to satisfy NV
curiosity and can demonstrate without a doub BIT
that they were genuine Chinook salmon, not
dog salmon or steel heads, as some of the fsh
commissioners would like US to believe. Another
fact that remains to be demonstrated in regard
to salmon not returning to the ocean is why do
they all disappear from the spawning grounds
after the season 10 over? You cannot find a
single one remaining. unless it is a few
that have not strength enough left to keen

be put into jack pots or collection
plates-though the Rev. MI. Dorwart's
plate shouldn't even get a rake-off.
The only serious drawback to the
Dorwart costume would arise in the
mosquito season because the naked
man would have nothing to protect
him. Perhaps he might get educated
UP to it in time. but he might die
under the infiction. Life wouldn't
be a picnic, at all events.
Dean McNulty, when spoken to
about the matter, said there vas no
rule of the Catholic Church requiring
the removal of the flag from the coffin
and he was greatly surprised at the
Rev. MI. Dorwart's action.
Perhaps it would be a good idea for
Mr.. Dorwart to move out from under
the folds of the old flag? There is
room for him, doubtless, outside of
the United States. Africa might be q
good place for him. The people
not only come into the world naked,
but they stay in 1t as near naked as
possible and they go out of it naked.
Africa is evidently a paradise for the
Rev. Mr.. Dorwart, and the sooner he
gets there the better. Being a celibate
he wouldn't have any Eve to bother
him with fig leaves and other samples
of ready made clothing.

A Queer Priest.

The Rev. George III. Dorwart, rec
tor OF the Church of the Holy Com
munion, at Paterson, may be a very
good priest, but he certainly is lack
ing in the patriotism that should ami
mate the heart of every American
citizen, even if he be not lacking in
the brains that should fill mis- head.
Samuel Urmson, a veteran of the
Union Army and a member of Farra-
gut Post, No. %, died a few days ago,
and his companions took charge of
the funeral. Naturally, as it was a
semi military affair, an American flag
was placed on the coffin. The Rev.
MI. Dorwart took exception to this
and refused to allow the coffin to be
brought into the church until the flag
was removed. The dead mans
friends complied with the order
rather than there should be N
scandal or trouble about the funeral,
but when it was over they expressed
their minds pretty freely ON the sub
ject.
When the Rev. Mr.. Dorwart was
spoken to on the subject he said he
had no objection to the flag as a flag,
which is certainly very kind of him,
and the old flags defenders ought to
be greatly obliged to him, but he OBJ
jected to ornamentation OF any and
all sorts at funerals.
MAN came into this world naked,
and he should go out So" said the
priest, doginatically.
But to pursue this idea to its
sequence, if man, coming into the
world naked, should go out of it
naked, why shouldn't he &C bobbing
around naked, al Snterlnaa Just
think what a pot of money he'd save
on tailors' bills if he lived his allotted
three score years and tent And the
time he'd save, too, that is snow wasted
