Facts are constantly cropping out,
even In the official publications OF this
free-trade administration, which deal
staggering blows to some Of tho most
precious and dearly. cherished theories
Of free-traders According to a press
dispatch from washington. the recent
report from Consul General Mason. at
Frankfort. Germany, which will soon
be published by the state department,
furnishes some facts OF this sort. One
theory to which free-traders most ten-
naciously cling, is that protective
tariff crlpples and curtails the export
trade OF a country. In his speech In
London few months ago. Chairman
Wilson, Of the Ways and Means COM
mIttee said in substance that the
tariff reformers" Of the United States
were tearing down the barriers raised
up by the protectlonlsts, not only in
order to encourage and increase the
importatIons Of foreign goods, but also
to encourage and increase the export
trade Of the United states, That the
latter result has not yet been obtained,
the ofIicial reports OF the treasury ef.
forts clearly prove. II may be argued
that the time has been too short since
the enactment OF the existing tariff law.
That argument. however cannot be
urged IN the case Of England, which,
for a half-century has enjoyed the
blessings and reaped the benefits Of a
free-trade policy. adopted at time

II the clipping from yesterdays sa-
lem correspondence to the oregonian,
which we reproduce in another column,
is anything like correct outline OF the
fish bill agreed on by the committee II
may be safely predicted that 1t will
never become law Of Oregon without
the most strenuous opposition. It
seemed very good and practical idea
to appoint special committee on this
important subject OF legislation, and
then to have that committee visit the
principal fishing points along the river
for the purpose Of gathering facts re-
lating to the industry, but IL the com
mittee proposes to recommend any such
bill to the legislature as that described
in the Oregonian, II Is plain that the
time supposed to have been spent In
the investigation was worse than
wasted. While It is natural to suppose
majority of the committee knew nc
more In the first instance about salmon
fishing than they did about whale
catching in the Arctic ocean, 1t would
seem that they might have obtained
some smattering of reliable informa-
tion from the people they saw or might
have seen on their tour OF travel; and
1t is great mystery how such non.

formation could have passed the scru-
tiny Of the Ciatsop members of the
committee, who surely ought to have
some acquaintance with at least the
prominent facts pertaining to the sub.
ject. The proposed bill should be an

concerned. the bill simply guarantees
