REAcH OUT.

CORVALLIS, Or, June 10, 1895.
ED. GAzETTE:-It is an admitted fact
that the division of the county very ma
terialIy impaired Corvallis in her business
and trade. Now the question is, how can
that loss of business and trade be made
good? l answer, by building free wagon
bridge across the Willamette river within
the corporate limits of the city. The very
best portion of Linn county lies directly
east of US and is naturally tributary to this
city, but on account of the expense and de-
lay in ferrying across the river, that trade
is driven off to Albany and other places.
Albany built fine bridge from their city
into the north end of this county to get the
trade from that portion of our county, now
let us return the compliment by building a
like structure into the south end of Linn
county. A bridge can be built at Corvallis
for less than half what tho Albany bridge
cost, for the reason that the river is only
about half as wide, and there is good, high
banks On both sides. 1t may be said that
times are hard and money scarce; grant it,
yet we ought to make the stronger effort to
improve the trade and business of our city.
II the county would appropriate ten thous
and dollars and the city the came amount,
the bridge could be built, for good sub
stantial bridge like the Madison street
bridge can be built for twenty five thous
and dollars. Let our business men and
property holders make an intelligent effort
| in that direction and see what can be done.
| ''The Gods help them who help themselves. y
| It seems strange to me that this city will
tarn away from the rich offering held out to
us by our neighbors across the river. AL
most enough wheat from Linn county alone
can be saved to fill our mills and ware
houses. JOHN BURNETT.

SPACE has been refused this week
to several correspondents who have
their ideas on the college salary question.
All of them gave their attention to the
personal habits of the professors in the
way Of their private expenditures; mat
ter that is really of no public interest.
It is probably true that some of the pre-
fessors are models of penuriousness, but
many of them are liberal and public
spirited citizens. But these qualities do
not effect their efficiency as instructors,
and are not proper subjects for news
paper discussion.

DEMOCRATIC TARIFF INCONSIS-
TENCIES.


The more this country gets of the
democratic tariff the more its pusatis-
factory qualities become apparent. The
latest reports showing details of its oper-
ations indicate that the people of this
country who paid duty on 4I per cent of
the foreign goods brought into the
country under the Mckinley law are
paying duty on 81 per cent of the
goods brought in under the new demo
cratic tariff. Of the goods which came
in free of duty under the Mckinley law,
IS per cent were articles of food, such as
everybody must have, while of the goods
which come in free of duty now only IS
per cent are articles of food.
The articles of voluntary use, 1uxuries
etc, which now come in free of duty are
nearly four times as great in quantity as
under the Mckinley law. Manufactured
articles ready for consumption, which
under the Mckinley law formed barely
IS per cent of the importations are now
practically double in quantity what they
were, and form larger percentage of
the whole than before. The importation
of 1uxuries has increased over so per
cent, while the articles of food imported
have fallen off twenty-five per cent.
During the seven months ended April
I, the importations of articles free of
duty only amounted to $2o4. .ooo,o 900,
against $2I7, 900, 600 in the corresponding
months of the preceding year under the
Mckinley law, while during the same
period the irnportations of goods on
which duty was charged were $22I, 900
600 against only $I53, 600 600 in the cor
responding months under the Mckinley
law.
Such are few of the inconsistencies
of the democratic tariff, which ended IFS
eighth month on May Ist, but the details
of whose seventh month, ending April
I, have just emerged from the bureau OF
statistics of the treasury, which makes
them public with extreme hesitation,
and only because it is duty, once be-
gun, not to bo abandoned.
In one particular only has the new law
redeemed its promise, that of free raw
material. The importations in this line
have nearly doubled. Yet the manufac-
turer and workman will learn with inter
est that the importation of every class of
manufactured articles has increased enor-
mous1y, both under the free and dutiable
List Under the free list the manufac-
tured articles for use in manufacturing
increased So per cent, as they did also
under the dutiab1e list The manufac-
tured articles for consumption increased
about fifty per cent, both under the
dutiab1e and free lists. AS for the arti
eles for voluntary use, 1uxuries, ETC.,
which really are manufactured articles,
the increase has been something enor-
nous, especially under the free list On
the other hand, the articles of food
which come in free have been cut down
almost one-half, and the quantity COM
ing in under the dutiable list more than
doubled. So the working people who
were dependent upon the manufacturing
industries of the country, directly or in
directly, for support may as well under
stand that the manufacturers will have
IN increase of so per cent, in foreign

CORVALLIS, OREGON, JUNE Is, 1895.
LACK OF CAPITAL THE CAUSE.

Not xithstanding the second failure OF
the carriage factory of Corvallis, facts
demonstrate that the business is paying
one although it must not be expected
xifat It can be. run only on the capital
necessary for a first-class blacksmith
shop. The trouble in both failures was
the lack of sufficient operating money.
In both instances the entire capital OF
the concern was exhausted in the pur-
chasing and development of the plant.
the returns for their output were not
received fast enough to pay their running
expenses and meet their obligations.
The present owners have not lost faith
IN the enterprise. They say it is not the
fault of the business, nor the field, that
they were compelled to assign. They
were counting on capital for operating
expenses that failed to materialize at the
moment of need. They will endeavor to
secure funds and take the business out of
: the hands of the assignee at an early
date.
The business is very important one
to Corvallis, and indeed to the North
west. The plant is fully equipped one,
and when running at full force employs
one hundred and fifty men. The work
they have turned out is of the finest de-
scription, and commends itself wherever
1t goes. The new management had just
begun the use of Oregon woods, which
they pronounce superior for the purpose,
and a plant just begun operation at Non
roe for supplying felloes to the carriage
factory. Other enterprises would have
gradually developed under the growth of
business that would have aided materially
in the development of the valley.
1t is hoped that the gentlemen who
now control stock in the corporation will
be able to weather the difficulties and
themselves take it out of the hands of
the assignee and conduct it successfully.
The resident owners are agreeable and
public spirited citizens and the people OF
Corvallis hope they will be able to re-
main.
