THE NEW SILVER PARTY.

A few silver men have formed what
they call a silver party. They hope to
gather all the believers of a freer coinage
of silver under one political banner
They say that nothing can be accom-
plished through the old parties, as they
are under the influence of the gold-bugs,
and the only hope for silver is through
the independent action of its friends.
They have had a meeting, and have issued
a call for a general convention to meet
in Philadelphia soon.
Political history teaches us that the
proposed movement is foolish and
vain one The name of the new party
condemns it. No one-idea party can
ever succeed in the United States, no
matter how 1neritorious and equitable
the principle it advocates. The freedom
of the negroes was not accomplished by
the abolition party. Wherever prohibi-
tory laws were placed upon the statute
book of state It was not the prohibition
party that secured their enactment 1t
will be impossible for the new party to
frame tariff and other planks that Will
meet the approval of all the silver advo-
Gates It must be borne in mind, that
while the financial question is great
one, it is not the only important political
question before the people.
Instead of strengthening the cause of
silver, the formation of new party will
simply divide the strength of the advo-
Gates of more general coinage of the
white metal and postpone the accom-
plishment of the desires of true bi-met-
alists. The proper and the only rational
method of procedure, is to force the old
parties to come out squarely and strongly
for bi-metalisn. Proper agitation will
accomplish this. Recent events of the
national congress show that the silver
sentiment is in the ascendency in both
the republican and democratic parties.
It will be foolish to expect many republl-
cans to leave their party on the plea
that it will do nothing for silver when
most of the leaders of the party are de-
clared supporters of silver coinage.
There is no possible excuse for silver
party in Oregon. The state government
has nothing to do with the coinage ques-
ton. This is strictly national matter,
and as far as Oregon is concerned hel
representation at Washington are as
strong friends of the white metal as the
silver party itself could propose. The
republican party in Oregon at last is a
silver party, and it is beyond question
that no good can possibly be accomplished
by leaving it and chasing after new ven
tures When the next state republican
convention meets it will declare for silvel
in terms that can not be misunderstood.
Along with the silver plank, however
will be a declaration in favor of protec
ton to home industries and other good
old republican doctrines, that all repub
1icans can support readily and ever
enthusiastically. The new party will fnt
little encouragement for organizing il
Oregon.

Sol King, one of Benton's thrifty ant
enterprising farmers, and who has larg
orchard of various kinds of fruit, has beel
making some experiments IN growing
peaches. The Alberta, which is said to b.
well adapted to our soil and climate, wa
the variety selected. One tree planted
closeto the house on the south side, ha
been in bloom three weeks and is making
strong, thrifty growth. A tree set out a
the same time on the north side of tn
building, however, has not yet bloome'
nor has it made such vigorous growth al
the other one. The cause is attributed b,
Mr.. King to the blighting influence of tn
cold north winds and he is of the opinion
that peach orchards should be invariabl
planted in sheltered localities where tn
trees are protected on the north.

"TARLFF REFORM'' UP TO DATE.

A page could be filled with list of the
luxuries of the rich upon which the taxes
have been reduced by the new tariff.
Here are few reductions: China re-
-duced so per cent, glass plate and stained
glass 40, gold pens I6, clocks 28, hats II,
knit fabrics 72, flannel 6S, silk 40, gloves
80, comfts, jellies, etc, laces, enlbroid-
cries, ETC., I6, woolens and silks 10 to 20,
owing to ad valorem instead of specific
duties. Under the present tariff the rich
man of fashion wears his superfne for
eign boradcloth, superhne linen, silk hat,
kid gloves, fine silk umbrella, sips his
costly glass of rare old wine, at from 20
to no less that 70 per cent. less than the
former duty upon these superfuous
luxuries. His grand dame plays her fan,
hourishes her embroidered handkerchief,
displays her exquisite laces, and arrays
herself in superb silks at equal reductions,
with many smiles and thanks to the
newly arisen friend of the people, the
charming and brilliant young West Vir-
giaian, who apologies for his failure to
reduce the duties upon the champagne
she offers him, explaining that this was
not his fault as his bill originally pro-
vided for its reduction also. Hundreds
of fancy articles made of wool, silk and
linen are now under reduced duties.
These reductions, as we shall see later,
embrace articles de luxe which furnish
two-thirds of the entire revenue from the
tariff Not one workingman in the whole
land uses these 1uxuries. Such is tariff
reform" up to date, and thus is the 'bur
den of taxation removed from the masses
of the people" Strange delusion! The
taxes are removed only from the rich.
Tariff duties as follows were collected
in 1892 on foreign importations of the
1uxuries of the rich:
Wool manufactures ........ $50, 2o3, ,6oo
Silk manufactures. ..-....... 10, 9o5, o37
Cotton manufactures. ....... I6,436,733
Flax manufactures ........... 10000, o3o
Glass and China. ............ TO- o33o,ooo
Wines, liquors, etc -.......... S,935,ooo
Tobacco and cigars. .......... II, I,oo2,557
Here are $Io6, 900, 900 of revenue from
seven classes of 1uxuries, and here are a
few others which netted more than $S,
100000 additional-jewelry, carriages,
artificial flowers, clocks, brushes, paper,
perfumeries, musical instruments
ing $I14, ooo, 900 revenue collected from
imports out of the total of SI77, 900, ,ooo
To reduce duties upon articles which are
all luxuries of the rich, furnishing two
thirds of the whole tariff revenue, is the
ehief result of the Wilson act.-Forum.
