THE NEW TARIFF.


proceeded far enough with its labors
in framing a tariff bill, that a pretty
correct idea can be formed of what the
tariff law to be enacted by the extra
session of congress will be. So far
has the work progressed that the Or
egonian has made the following edi-
torial comment upon the probable
general features of the bill:
ssThe schedules published seem to
foreshadow duplicate of the Nc
Kinley law, with some increase OF
duties for the sake of revenue or to
meet special cases of foreign compe-
tition. If the whole bill we're to be
constructed upon this system, it would
not be satisfactory to the country.
The country wants the Mckinley bill
no more than the Wilson bill. Moderate
protection so adjusted as to yield ade-
quate revenue is the demand of four
out of five of those who voted for Nc
Kinley. There was too much protec-
tion in the Mckinley law. There is
too little revenue in the Wilson law.
The country wants something different
from either.
sit is not necessary yet to despair
of getting reasonable tariff bill from
the Dingley committee. The schedules
considered so far are of no great i'm
portance. The agricultural schedule
is used mainly for buncombe purposes;
to keep campaign pledges and prove
to the farmer that he also is sharer
in the benefits of protection through
duties on his products. This is a
harmless fiction, which perhaps,
Schoolmaster Wilson was not wise to
ignore.
SIN point of fact, however, duties on
agricultural products have very little
effect upon the people of this country,
and whether they are high or low
makes very little difference, except to
q small number of farmers and ranch
ers living on the Mexican and Cana
dian borders. Few of these articles
are imported, and of many we have a
surplus for export. Price is made
therefor either by the home demand
and supply or in the markets of the
world. Neither can be affected by a
tariff upon products of the farm, though
a general tariff which sustains a
manufacturing population, and so in
creases demand of non-producers for
food, undoubtedly tends to increase
price.
"The original Mckinley theory was
that these duties on farm products
were compensation to CONSUMERS of
manufactured goods for increase of
price of the latter by protective duties.
The Wilson bill on the other hand,
undertook direct relief of the consumer
by reduction of the tariff on manufac-
lures. This principle was popular as
we'll as wholesome, though it was i'm
perfectly realized in the Wilson law.
1t could be recognized to advantage in
the Dingley bill, and there are signs
that it will not be overlooked.
."The important schedules are those
that contain duties On textile manufac..
lures and those of iron and steel.
These embrace the great bulk of
articles manufactured in the United
States for home consumption, heavy
hies on which put a burdensome tax
me consumers. Most of the

AINEES AND CIVILIZATION

Especially since the Nevada legisla-
ture enacted law licensing prize
fighting, haye the papers both of this
coast and the east been overlooking
with unkind thrusts, clubbing it a de-
serted mining camp. and in their
denunciation some of them have been
rather extravagant in hurling
abuse upon mining camps generally,
even going so far as to hold up mining
as disreputable, disgraceful calling.
These papers seem to forget that gold
and silver mining has been leading
industry in this country many years,
and that the miners have been the
pioneers who paved the way for subdu-
ing the wilderness in the west. Even
little Nevada has had her prominence
as a great wealth producer, and may
yet reach an enviable standing in the
mining world, that will give her
standing above what she enjoys today.
The surveyor generals report of
Nevada shows that in the western and
southwestern portions of the state,
where formerly was the bulk of
Nevada's silver and gold mining car
ried on, is experiencing as much of
revival as elsewhere. In Esmeralda
county the Silver Star mines are pay
ing their owners a good profit, and
Silver Peak is proving to be a good
gold producing camp. In Big Indian,
Mariette, Mt. Granite and Hawthorne
districts the mines are all making
good showing. The output for the
state shows an increase over that of
1895, of 81, ,121 .499, or q total for the
year past of s3.0O3,695 in gold and
silver. The increase is principally
due to the counties OF Lincoln, Esmer-
elda and Elko. This is substantial
evidence Of renewed activity among
gold properties and the best evidence
in proof OF the theory that Nevada can
produce gold ii necessary. That min
ing is the principal source of the pres
ent wealth and Importance of tho
western and Pacific states 10 ref1cctiug
and candid person can deny. That
even now it is the leading productive
industry, vit.lizine and stimulating all
others, is equally true. 1t gives 20 the
world a yearly bullion product Of many
million dollars, supplying the bases
for sound. safe and certain currency,
when carried in accordance with the
constitution of the government. No
business is more honorable, no indus
try more useful than that of the miner,
but clear and palpable as this may be,
it has become fashionable in some |
quarters to sncer at and condemn
mining. Reposing securely in the
wealth of f1ocks, herds, lands, vine
yards, orchards, blocks in the city.

in his wisdom, to set aside the verdict
of the juries in the cases of the United

the defendants have twice obtained
verdicts from Juries composed, sup
posedly at least, of honest, fair.minded
men, for damages which they will sus-
tain by their land being condemned by
the government by. the passage Of
the proposed boat-railway through
their promises. The verdict in each
case was rendered after fair, impair
tial trial before competent jury, after
having heard all the testimony pro-
duced both by the government and for
the defendants, and after the different
juries having personally examined the

why tho Manufacturer Do Not Desire Ono,
To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: Wheel
makers are not sad and disconsolate because
the shows are not to be held this winter. The
action of the Cycle Board OF Trade In this re-
spect was the result of the overwhelming de-
mand of the exhibitors at the Eastern show held
in the Central Palace in this city last winter; in
fact. 1t was with the greatest difficulty that tho
demand upon the directors for immediate action
was avoided. More mature elaboration has,
however,. only served to fix the determination of
the trade, and the action of their board has met
with their hearty approval.
II the makers are indeed yearning for shows.
why does the promoter OF the proposed Chicago

looked for.
The demand for shows cmanates. not from the
mahufacturers but from the professional show
promoters. A successful and representative
cycle show cannot be held without the sanction
or the Cycle Board OF Trade, and these pro-
motors are dcceiving the public when they claim
that any considerable Number of manufacturer
Of repute will participate in their ventures. II

an earnest request from several Of the most

carefully keep their names from the publicf l

There are many good reasons for abandoning
