who are rallying to his support thu
time. It seems to be generally con-
seded that the incumbent, Mr.. Ellis
cannot be renominated, which practi-
sally gives an open field to Mr.. Leas-
ure. Unatilla, with her eleven biz
votes, will stand solid for Leasure, and
with the influence be commands
abroad will make him the candidate
practically by acclamation."
We have netting to say against Mr.
Leasure, personally or politically. He
is an able lawyer, has a good reputa-
tion In the community, and has alway:
been faithful 80 far as we know te
party principles; but there are other
matters to be considered in the nomi-
nation of congressman in the second
district. 1t is a we'll known fact that
che art of legislation has to be acquired
by actual experience, and this district
may as well have no representation In
the lower house of congress as to make
biennial change. Mr.. Ellis was
elected two years age, aud SO far has
given satisfaction to his constituents.
He has done we'll considering the OPP
psrtunities, and to replrce him next
June by new man would be great
injury to Eastern Oregon and per-
sonal affront to the gentleman himself.
The efficient work of the member from
the frat district is because he has been
in Washington City during so many
sessions that he thoroughly under
stands the moda1s operasdi of secur-
ing any favor from either of the de-
partments. Mr.. Ellis has neglected
nothing that has bsen entrusted to
him thus far, land as be bscoues famIl-
lar with legislative tact will become
more efficient.
It may be considered premature to
speak regarding the choice of the Re-
publican state convention, h ich
meets in Portland on April llth
next; but we feel confident that
Wasco and other Republican counties
in Eastern Oregon will send delega-
tions instructed to vote fol Ellis, as
the congressional nominee. The gen
tleman is entitled to the nomination,
and we are satisfied the Republicans
of the second congressional district
will return him to Washington City
by the largest majority that any cam
didate has received for many years.
Mr.. Ellis is an honorable, capable
gentleman, and in saying this we do
rot intend or imply any disparage-
ment of the qualifications of Mr..
Lsasure. or any other person whose
name may come before the Republi-
can state convention.

THE WOOL INDUSTRY.

MT. w OrtulngIon ". rOrui cuiei y
the bureau of statistics of the treasur
department, in answer to resolution
Of congress, has sent that body SOM
figures upon weel and the manufacture
of that article. From this, as re-
ported in the dispatches, we learn tina
while the American clip has trehles
since 1860, the Australa jan clip has in
creased tenfold, that of South Amer
lea ninefold, and that of South Africs
fvefeld. The report shows the veal
1892 gave the woolproducing inter est'
in oven the most favored countries, as
Australia, setback. 1t has been 9
we'll known Fact for many years that
the production of wool has been in
ereasing in tn. countries of the world,
and this has had tendency to cause
general declsnsion in its price in the
market; but this could not have been
the reason of the terrible depr ressisn
in this article in the Uaited States
during the last year, amounting al
most to an absolute inhibition of its
sale. A local cause, applicable to this
country alone, must have been In op-
Grafton to depreciate wool from the
fair price in 1892 ia Boston to almost
no sales at all in 1898.
If the figures of Mr. Ford are cor
rsct, and we have no reason to di i,pute
them, they furnish strong argument
for protection in the United States.
The tenfold increase in Australia make
it absolutely necessary for producers
to find market somewhere, and if
they can ship their feeces to this
esuntry they can afford to cell them at
lower margin than eur sheepraisers.
The same would be true of any article
of manufacture or growth. If the
increase In the growth of wheat had
been from l to 10 bushels In the
United States, to 3 in Australia and
l to 9 in Argentine, in The same tine,
the natural inference from this condl-
ten of things would be that bread
stuffs would be cheaper here than in
the other countries of the world, and
that our product could successfully
compete with the others. This fur
nishes the basis principle of protec-
tion, which aims to foster the home
article by tariff duties ON imports,
when advantages are possessed by for
eigners which make them the more
prolific producers. 1t aims to legis-
late so as to equalize conditions by rc-
strlctive duties, and thus place local
industries on an even plane with those
from foreign countries.
Mr.. Ford may he correct in his con-
slusion when he says that mo lsgisla-
tien short of prohibition can MAINTAIN
prices In the face Of the increase of
the worlds supply Of WOOL" but tariff
may so regulate the declension of the
price of wool in this country that
the decrease shall net be in greater
reason of competition by
,suntries where the increase of pro-
lucticn is more than three times as
arge-than in other nations. Those
sngaged in the business have reason to
sxpect this much from. congress, and
As citizens of the country and useful
factors in its development it should be
gwen them.
