Flaw in the Tariff Bill.

NEW YORK, Aug. ga special from
Washington says: In addition to the
long list of errors found in the German
tariff bill, the surprising discovery has
been made by the treasury department
officials that ho appropriation has been
made for putting into effect the income
tax provisions. Collectors of In,ernal
revenue can do nothing under these cir
cumstances In the direction of prepariog
to collect the tax. The treasury officials
claim 10 be blameless, for they for
warded request to the appropriation
commit ee more than q month ago for an
initial appropriation of 100000 to be
used during the curren, fsca, year in car
ryiug out the income tax provisions of
the tariff bill if it should become law
Whether by accident or des gn, neither
the house nor the senate appropriations
committee paid any attention to Secretary
Carlisle's estimate. Commissioner of Iu
t.rnal Revenue Miller is hopeful thar
when the two houses meet in December
the amount of his estimate will De TO-
cluded IN the urgent deficiency appro-
priation if the new law can be made
possible"

The testimony before the Labor
lCommission still continues, and E. V
Debs, president of the American Rail
way Union, was heard yesterday.
This investigation IS giving to the
| people a new light on the causes that
led to the recent STRIFE, and hereafter
they will be more intelligent on the
subject. Mr.. Pullman and the rail
way managers will give their views of
the matter, and, after hearing both
sides, the public should be able to in
telligently arrive alta conclusion. The
verdict of the American people may
have 10 beneficial result on corpora
tions, for the directors who control
these great com binations of capital
are as autocratic as the czar of Rus
sia. and care less for the common mas
ses. In a free country in which SOW
ereign:y is supposed to rest with the
masses those who have dealings with
them must exhibit some degree of con-
scientfeus regard for their rights, or
else republic is no better than
monarchy, M and freedom and free peo-
pie are meaningless terms. The pub
LEGATION of this evidence in the daily
press has the effect of making citizens
better acquainted with the affairs of
bread winners and the manner in
which railroads deal with their en-
ployes. This will he means of edu-
cation, and if redress cannot be had
by other means the resort will be had
to the ballot box. in which corpora
tions will be at disadvantage.

DEMOCRATIC LEADERS.

1t is very amusing to read some OF
the severe criticism made upon the
senate before the passage of the Will
son bill. which would incline one to
believe that the house had the full
sympathy of the Democratic party.
This is what the Baltimore Sun said
twe days before the senate defeated the
house. "horse, foot and dragoons:" :
"Hov much longer does this COM
b,natlon of weak and guilty senators
propose to keep the country on the
ragged edge of suspense and anx.esf :
The Democratic senators VIA foolishiy
surrendered to the beaayers Of The,
Democratic party now have an oppor-
tunity to break loose from their de-
grading chains and prove their man
hood and fidelity. Manliness, hon
tsty and loyalty are the qualities of
the plain people of the United States,
and these are the qualities that legis-
tors must possess to command their
respect"
Another Baltimore paper, the Nescs,
published the following: at is the
party, the house. the president, the
PRESS on the one side, and the senate,
trying to add to its stature by num-
bling about caucus agreement, on
the other Who can doubt the issue |
whether it will he no bill or the Will
son .bill9 The people are the arbiters
and they in such struggle have never
sided with the senate"
The president, in his letter to Mr.
Wilson, was very severe in his criti-
cism of the action of the senate; but
the members accomplished their pur-
pose. and even Mr.. Cleveland will no.
dare to exercise his prerogative of the
veto. Great credit must be paid to
the leaders in the senate for the mas
terly manner in which they managed
the legislative campaign. Opposed by
the press, the rank and file of their
party aud the executive, they won a
complete victory over their opponents,
and have shaped legislation for the
Democratic party for the next four
years German, Brice and voorhees,
are leaders. and they will have con-
trolling influence in the campaign of
1896

THE II E. CHURCH.

! The conference in session in this city
comprises members of'a chureborgan,
/ II sIi0r l,blss-tas tU'seh identified With
the history of the country since it was
established by Bishop Asbury IN 1884.
Although the episcopal features of the
Methodist organization we're not fully
endorsed by Mr.. Wesley. it was
deemed expedient to establish the
Methodist Episcopal church in
this country as soon as peace
was established after the Revo-
luton, and Rev. Thomas Coke
was ordained by him for that purpose,
with instructions to ordain Rev. Fran
els Asbury as joint superintendent.
When the appointment was made As
bury declined unless he was chosen 10y
his brethren, whereupon he was unan
imously elected bishop, and wa, con
secrated by DR.. Coke on December
20, 1874. Bishop Asbury devoted
his time and talents to the church un
til his death in 1916. The growth of
this branch of Methodism has been
wonderful in the United States, and
the number of communicates
exceeds all other demo nlnations except
the Roman Catholic. The M. E.
church has now conferences and ad-
herents In Europe, Asia, Africa and
South America, and these are offshoots
from the parent organization in this
country. In 1874 1t divided on .he
question of slavery, and since that
time the M. E. Church South has
maintained separate organization.
The northern branch of the church
has always maintained an unflinching
opposition to human slavery, and dur
ing the dark days of the rebellion no
religious denomination was more un-
swerving in its loyalty to the govern
msnt. As pioneers in religious work
Methodists have only been exceeded
by the Jesuits, and in many instances
Methodist ministers have braved the
hardships of frontier life to plant
the cross Of Christ in places
where the influences Of civilization
where before unknown. This is true
in the history of Oregon, and to this
church our people are indebted for its
first church, school house and univer-
sity. The enterprlsing spirit Of Meth
odism, its opposition to human slavery
and its sterling patriotism in the dark
at hours of the nations existence en-
titles it to the lasting gratitude of all
,omiHg generations. |

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22-Senators Aid.
rich and Qlay we're WORK this morning
endeavoring to smooth the way for the
passage OF house bill through the senate
that corrects the errors made in the tariff
bill relative TO the rebate on alcohol used
In the arts and sciences. Such acuon.
owning to the absence of a quorum, can
only be had by unanimous consent. 1t
Is understood If the bill does pass the
senate it will go back to the house 10 u
very different shape from that in which
II left. The sugar men. it is said, will
amend 1t by tackIng onto It as rider
the Mt Kiniey bounty or bounty for the
crop of 1894, and ii is not probable other
amendments looking to the protection of
the same industries that suffered by
reason OF the tariff bill will be made to
the bill. The intention is to give the
house the alternative of agreeing to these
amendments or permitting the errors re-
garding alcohol to go nncorrected.

TOO PREMATURE.

TOO PREMATURE.
Bro jackson, OF the East Oregonian,
is free trader, pure and simple, from
A to q, and from Alpha to Omega.
He does not believe in custom house
in any nation, and considers that trade
between nations should be ss unre-
stric.ed as the air we breathe. This
TO him Is the golden rule. and to i'm
pose tribute or tariff on any nation in
their commercial relations with an
other is relic of barbarism lie has
no religion except absolute free trade
and single taxation. If these princi-
Piles were carried out fully he is frmly
convinced that the lion and the lamb
would lie down together, and little
child could lead them; that the nations
of the earth would beat their spears into
pruning hooks. and their gatling guns
into plow shares; that the white
winged angels of peace would f4p
their pinlons over the nations of tine
earth, and they would learn war no
more. 1t must be supposed that to such
person the Wilson bill, with the
senate amendments, is not the one
thing desirable to dictate an economic
policy for the United States; but not
with landing it's weakness in regard
to free trade in yesterdays issue the
East Oregonion had the following:
at is quite surprising that wool,
since 1t has been put on the free list,
is in greater demand than ever and at
increased prices. To judge from the
tone and predictions of the protective
tariff organs one would have imagined
the sheep all dead and wool absolutely
without value Immediately after free
wool was law and a fact. But
prophets are without honor in their
own country"
Now our cotemporary knows that
the bill has not become law, and it
will be some time before it will take
effect regarding wool if the president
signs it or it goes into operation by
limitation of time. The country must
wait patiently to see the re-
suits of the Wilson bill. By
reason of the fact that the Democratic
party was expected to change the Nc
Kinley law the disastrous effects IN
business have been felt during the
past year, and these will not be bet
tered by the fears entertained by man
ufacturers being realized. In the
history of the country, for the past
century, every attempt to modify the
tariff to anything approaching free
trade basis has been injurious to trade,
and we have every reason to believe it |
always will be. While there was hope
the Democratic measure in congress
would be defeated wool in this market |
kept at fair price; but since the bill
has every prospects of becoming law
no one desires to purchase the product. |
Protection is selfish; so is patriotism,
the family relations,a and preference for
any town or city. In fact there is
nothing that stimulates ambition or
enterprise that is not selfish. With
out it man would never strive to sue
ceed in life, and would be satisfied
with the position which his ancestors
occupied.
