THE NEW TARIFF BILL.
Pa p E r

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-The Demo
cratic tariff bill has been given out.
It's provisions fulfill every expecta-
ton Of those who predicted It would
be IL measure of radical reform. In
many respects it is a surprise to the
Democrats, as it is unprecedented in
many provisions. The free list is OF
liberal scope, sufficient to satisfy the
noat radical n lvocates of reform, aud
the Reputation OF the principle Of
reciprocity is decisive and emphatic.
Thus the bill, in addition to the tariff
reforms, will, if passed, necessitate
the read ustmeut Of treaties with
South American countries which
enjoy practically theoretical reciproc-
ity with the Uuited States. The
bounty on sugar instead of being re-
ptaied ut once, will be repealed by
easy ~graduations, and will not reach
full effect till after the close of the
present century.
Cloths and dry goods are put at
forty per cent. and clothing at forty
five. These rates we're higher than
tue committee desired, but it was
deemed a temporary necessity because
oar manufacturers have so long been
excluded from tWo-thirds of the wool

We are pleased to hear that change
has taken place in the superintendency
of the state portage railway at cascade
locks on the 1st of January. The new
incumbent is Mr.. G. C. Hobert of
this city, a thorough gentleman, and a
man with an experience in railroading
which will qualify him to give the pub
lie perfect satisfaction in that position
Mr.. Hubbard was for many years mas
ter mechanic of the q. P. r. at The
Dalles, in which capacity he never failed
to exhibit the type of generalship when
it was required of him in the event of
any emergency arising, and at the same
time not lose sight of the fact that where
the spirit of mutual accommodation pre-
vailed there was the greatest success
achieved. We have not the slightest
hesitation in saying that if Mr.. Hobart
bad been superintendent of the portage
railway the past year very much better
showing might have been made than
has been made under the management
of Mr.. Ryan. We shall now feel that
there is some foundation for the hope
that the results of the railway invest
ment at Cascade Locks by the state, may
be more fully appreciated.
