of a product manufactured in this
country, but when a man gets up and
claims that high tariff is a sure pre-
ventive of panics and hard times, he
simply shows his own ignorance OF
else he is preSumlng on the ignorance
of the people who listen to him. The
facts of history simply does not bear
him out.
For instance, Duncan cited the
Walker tariff of 1916 as an example
of the dire effects of a low tariff. He
told of the hard times of 1857 and
the depleted condition Of the United
States treasury in 1860. To be per-
fectly fair it should be said that at
least half of the years that the Walk
er tariff was in operation we're the
years of perhaps the greatest pros
perity the country ever saw prior to
the Civil war.
The advocate of low tariff might
just as consistently point to the years
from 1849 to about 1856 as showing
the beneficial effects Of a low tariff,
as to have Duncan point to the years
1857. 1858, 1859 and 1850 as show
ing the dire effects Of the law.
Neither one Of them is correct. The
good years we're caused by the won-
derful production Of gold in Cali
fornia, beginning with the year 1S46,
aud the bad times were the result Of
wild speculation and a miserable cur
rency system.
1t must also be acknowledged that
one of the most disastrous panics the

Tom MCNeaI on McKlnIey's Speech.

drich crowd of the Republican party.
Recommending on McKinley's speech
Mr.. McNeal says:
1t has always seemed to me that
the high tariff advocate tries to prove
too much. He is like the vender of
a medicine, who claims for it SUPER
natural powers and insists that it is
a certain remedy for all ailments that
af1ict both man and beast; that it
will cure consumption, TYPHOID fever,
diptheria, yellow jaundice, cancer,
Inflammation Of the bowls, ringworm.
bone SPAWN, spinal meningitis,
diseases of the scalp, warts and in
growing toenails.
Now most people in this country,
or at least a majority Of them, l think
are in favor of giving reasonable pro.
lection to home industries wherever
that protection is needed, and are
willing that tariffs shall be levied
which equal the difference between
the cost of producing foreign manu-.
featured product and the same kind

country ever knew occurred in 1873
under a high protective tariff and
that the panic Of 1907 was really no
'louoh of panic, either, as is now
generally acknowledged.
1t seems to me that Duncan's
speech would have more weight if he
were honest and fair aud consistent
and did not make claims that simply
cannot be reconciled with each other.
He claimed that the high tanff was
the cause of the high price of food.
Stuffs in the United States and within
10 minutes after he had made tina!
assertion be stated that the price of
foodStuffs had risen all over the
world.
He dwelt on the prices of corn and
wheat and hogs during the
operation of the Wilson bill, but pos.
sibly did not know that the only
time corn ever sold in Kansas for IL
cents d buShel and was actually burr.
ed for fuel was in 1899, under high
protective tariff.
For an hour he argued that lower.
Ing tariff rates always brought dis.
aster and then spent Is labored min

and decreasing audience that the
Payne-Aldrich bill made great reduc.
tons and brought marvellous pros.

Who can prove both those statement:
in single speech and make the
audience believe both of them, is /
daisy.
But the leading criticism to b.
made on the speech Of Mckinley wa.
that it never touched the real points
Of controversy. People are not ar
guing much about the general prin
ciple of protection. What they ar,
complaining about is the fact that th,
schedules Of the tariff law are moi
fair; that they were framed in the in
terest Of and at the dictation o
certain highly protected manufactur.
erS, that these manufacturers car
nothing about the interest of tn

LARGE SALE TIMBER
BY THE GOVERNMENT

MEDFoRD. Dec. 12.--The largest
timber sale ever made by Uncle Sam.
with the exception OF the one in Mon
tana, has just been closed. the tim
Der standing in the Crater national
forest. The deal provides for the
transfer of 14s.Oo0,O0O feet Of tim
ber to the Pelican Bay Lumber COM
pany at a consideration OF $sG5,460
The local office handled all OF the
details Of the affair.
Under the present law the coun-
ties In which a reserve Is located re-
ceive % per cent OF the amount Of
the receipts from timber sales. This
25 per cent Is divided among the
counties according to their area
within the forest. In this manner
Jackson county receives 80 per cent
OF the 25 per cent OF sales In the
Crater forest. Thus jackson coun-
tvs share Is $73,10s, klamath
county receiving s1s,277. This sum
goes into the road and school fund
Of the county.
Last year oregon's entire share
in sales made by the government
only amounted to sss, 900. 80 the in
crease this year will be large.
The Pelican Bay Lumber company
will start work at once In milling
the lumber. The payments are dis
tributed over period OF five years.
For several months the local Of
flee has been engaged In preparing
reports on the timber Just changing

TO ERECT MONUMENT
TO ABRAHAM LINCOLN

| WASHINGTON, Dec. lO.-The
erection OF monument in this city
IN honor OF Abraham Lincoln will be
urged upon congress for approval by
Senator Cullom (republican, Him
ois). He believes that Lincoln has
been too long neglected and that a
memorial should be erected without
further delay and regardless Of ex-
pense. Whether the cost should be
s2,OOO,O00 or 100000, Senator
Cullom said should not be given con-
sideration In the selection of suit
able design.
Cullom was close friend of Lin
coin and thus the personal element
as well as his admiration for Lin
coins greatness enters into his de-
sire to see the emancipator properly
honored.
Provision for the erection OF a
memorial" he says, "is wish
cherish as duty which I hope may
be fulfilled before / end my service"
The project has been pending In
congress for years but failure Of the
statesmen to agree upon a site has
prevented legislation.
Two statues of Lincoln now grace
the streets OF Washington. One shows
him in the act Of striking shackes
from a slave and the other Is small
statue Of the war president standing
on a high pillar Of stone. The de-
mand, however, is for grand men,
orial and Senator Cullom believes
that conditions are favorable for get
ting action by congress this winter.

TEST CASE OF FISH
LAWS TO BE TRIED 18TH

Whether or not trout is a MI
gratory fish and other test questions
relating to the troubled matter of
enforcing the fish laws of the state
were not settled Saturday, as 1t was
expected that they would.
Saturday was the day set for The
trial OF A. II. Mock, constable-elect
for Grants Precinct, on the charge
of catching trout within six hundred
feet OF a fishway, but the matter
was postponed until December IS
because District Attorney Mulkey is
occupied with several murder trials
In Jackson county and could not
spare the time to prosecute this case.
The case has aroused considerable
discussion over the town and many
people were eagerly awaiting the
trial, because II was rumored that
this was to be case where many
questions were to be settled '
II has been contended by many
interested in fishing that the statute.
which forbids and imposes a penalty
upon catching salmon or other mi
gratory fish" withing six hundred
feet OF fishway, does not apply 70
trout, " II is claimed, is not
migratory fish. Such fish is de-
scribed as one which moves from one
part OF stream TO another for the
purpose OF spawning at certain sea-
sons.
The state officials contend that
they have all the authorities on fish
on their side to prove that the trout
is a migratory fish, while the other
side asserts that there is plenty OF
evidence right here in Grants Pass
TO disprove the theories OF Wash
ington officials and college pro-
fessors.
The defense. II Is said, had sub
poenaed all the fishermen OF Grants
Pass, while the state would rely on
the testimony OF the master fish
warden, the game warden, superin-
tendent ~ Fisheries OMalley Of the
United States bureau Of fisheries
and other officials and authorities
to maintain the proposition that flsh
are migratory
II is also contonded that the dam
iust below the bridge, where, II ls
alleged, the fish were caught 81 not
an obstruction 10 The travels Of trout
or other flsh and that therefore Il
Is no violation Of law to catch fish
within six hundred feet Of a. u l'
said that n this line Of defense IS
adopted the state will take the mat.
ter out OF the Justice court and
bring II before the grand Jury.

SCHOOL LEVY RAISED
TO 8 MILLS THIS YEAR

A tax levy of nine mills for schoo
district number seven. the Grants
Pass district, was voted Saturday al
the taxpayers meeting.
This is fifty per cent more thar
the levy OF last year, which was ST,
mills.
The sum to be raised is $4,000
which will be used for the equipment
Of the new building and for other
improvements and for running the
schools for the ensuing year. This
amount will enable the school board
to employ four more teachers in ad.
dition to the staff now employed.
The district will receive from the
state irreducible school fund, from
the county fund and from all other
sources about $1S,700.
This leaves s21,sOO to be raised
by district assessment.
The property of the district is as
sessed, in round numbers, at $2.5OO.-
900, making it necessary to levy a
tax OF nine mills in order to meet
the expenses Of the district.
The attendance at the meeting did
not break any records and the school
building where the election was held
at ten o'clock Saturday forenoon
was not taxed to its capacity. Ac-
cording to most reports, there were
ten people, supposed to be taxpayers,
present at the meeting. At any rate,
each person at the meeting placed
a tax Of almost a mill on all the tax
able property Of the district.
The school law, modelled after
some ancient pattern, provided that
notices of the annual school meeting
shall be posted in three public places.
The school board called the meet
ing in accordance with the law
very strictly in accordance with the
letter Of the law. II only ten people
lin the town knew that an election
was to be held, that was their look
out. The law said post notices In
three public places-just like they
used to do in the olden time before
Johannes Gutenberg invented type
in 1445. Where the three "public
places were nobody seems to know,
judging from the attendance at the
annual meeting.
There has been some grumbling
around town because OF the scruplu-
Gus effort of the members Of the
school board to do nothing which the
law did not require them explicitly to
do. Some Of the taxpayers who would
have liked to participate In the
movement to give Grants Pass good
