CONCESSIONS ALREADY WON
FROM FREE TRADERS
Eight years ago the Democratic
party made a flaunting declaration
that protection was unconstitutional.
It. mattered not that Jefferson, Madi
son, Monroe and Jackson had stated
the direct reverse; that Polk had ad
mitte the justice of “incidental pro
tection;” that Buchanan had voted for
one protective tariff, and signed an
other. The convention was reckless.
Republican division foretold an easy
victory. It was safe to talk nonsense
and the platform was so nonsensical
that the New York WJorld presented
the constitutional argument for pro
tection in its editorial columns. No
one has, so far as we know, denied
the oft repeated assertion that Wood
row Wilson long ago stated that
whether one liked or disliked pro
tection its constitutionality was be
yond dispute. The Democrats were
sure to win in 1912, and if they put
an absurd plank in their platform
that was no new experience.
Bu$ once in power they had their
troubles. They had the votes, they
could and did put through a tariff bill
designed “to increase importations;”
still the Democratic vote might de
crease. Hence there was a note of
warning that nobody must dare to
shut down his plant, to reduce out
put, or to lower wages. The tariff
of 1913 was declared to be a good one,
and manufactures were forbidden to
act otherwise. However, one of the
first to reduce his -working force was
Eugene M. Foss whom the Democ
rats had elected governor of Mass
achusetts. Day by day passed over
his head. No federal officials hand
cuffed him or threw him into a dun
geon, or hanged him on Hannan’s gal
lows,—in fact the threats were at a
discount. We had a reduction of
manufacturing activity and an in
crease of unemployed so marked that
President Wilson ceased to threaten,
and mildly remarked that it was a
psychological conition. All talk of edn
spir&cy stopped. The Democrats con
ceded that industrial troubles had
followed the tariff of 1913 though they
denied that it had caused them.
Timidly and foolfhhly some of them
made statements about the snuperior
ity of the west to the east. What
were the facts? A European who
sent goods to our seaboard could un
dersell a producer Within five miles
of the port, but if he tried to open a
market a thousand miles to the west
the railroad freights helped to pro
tect the American industry. Of
course the interior felt the impact less
than the seacoast. Here again was a
reluctant concession.
Next came a proclamation. The
wives and daughters of Democratic
congressmen would never, no never,
wear any dress goods that were not
American. We had solemn assur
ance to this effect, and all of the
r
women in the country were urged to
be equally patriotic. The dread of
losing votes was so great that wom
en at jink teas, at card parties, at
luncheons and dances were urg^d to
say something, to talk as if they were
as resolute as the Bostonians who
would not drink tea. Little may be
heard of these pledges now, but foi
a time they were covered by many a
headline.
When the war came it cut off
Europeans tours and money had to be
spent here. It kept Europeans here
from sending money home, and they
saved or spent their earnings on this
side of the water. German imports
shrank almost to a vanishing point,
and British imports were greatly re
duced. Then we heard tha >• boast
that the tariff had not shortened the
pay rolls and lengthened the bread
lines. No law, good or bad, will be
very effective if circumstances pre
vent it from working. But no cam
paign speaker ventured to ask votes
on the ground that he washed to in
crease importations. The traiff of
1913 did not and colild not do us much
harm during the war because compe
tition shrank to a minimum.
Yet how? the Democrats feared the
tariff! What a ghost it was!! How
impressively w^e w’ere told that there
would be anti dumping lawrs to keep
cheap labor products out of our ports. .
The government would find out how
much it cost to make whatever w'as
brought here, and if there was an at
tempt to sell articles below cost, the
president or the cabinet, or somebody
would prevent such wickedness. All
this sounded well, but nobody be
lieved it. The government could
hardly ascertain the cost of produc
tion in a European or Asiatic town.
Perhaps the foreign manufacturer
would not understand English. Per
haps he would be averse to publish
ing his trade secrets. Perhaps if he
made out an itemized statement the
mail service would be tardy. Howr
little wre now hear of the anti-dump
ing. It is as dead as Mr. Redfield’s
plan of feeding the seacoast popula
tion on mussels and dog fish.
We have not space for the reports
of the tariff commission which prac
tically concede the entire argument
for protection. Nor is it possible
l
here to review the attempt to slaugh
ter the Louisana sugar industry, and
the sullen yielding w’hen it became
evident that the plan wrould not work.
Where is the Democrat wrho ventures
to blame President Wilson for saying
that we must protect the chemical in
dustries newdy called into being?
Throughout its history the Republi
can party has contended that protec
tion is necessary to shield old indus
tries and to start new ones. Have
not its opponents been forced to ad
mit that fact?

PEPPERMINT GROWN
COMMERCIALLY OREGON
LA GRANDE, Ore., Aug. 26.—The
mint industry, although carried on in
a small way in Grand Ronde valley,
seems to be profitable. Two years ago
Angus ^Shaw of Summerville, one of
the largest landholders in the valley,
planted eight acres of lowland to pep
permint plants. Last year from the
plants on the eight acres he pressed
out 32 gallons of oil.
Although there was no mill near by j
for Mr. Shaw to use, there was an old
mill which had formerly served to j
press the oil out of pine needles for
medicine, after which the needles were
used in the manufacture of mattresses
and other articles. This mill had been
out of service for the last ten years, j
In using this same mill Mr. Shaw j
found that he could not get away from
the fine needle oil flavor, and so built
a small mill at Summerville, where he
finished his work. He has been of
fered $64 a gallon for his mint oil.
A wire has been received from
Chester Spencer, deputy marshal at
Fort Yukon, by the marshal’s office,
stating that a man named Burns had
been missing in the Fort Yukon dis
trict for some time, and that it is
feared he has perished. When last
seen Burns was near the mouth of
the Chandalar river trapping musk
rats. His dogs been found there in
a starving condition and it is thougW
that Burns must have broken througn
the ice and perished.
For the first time in modern his
tory, the water in 'the Kantishna
river is so low that the river can
only be navigated by launches or row
boats, and by launch Tom Aitken
must get his ore to the river. The
launch Kestral, Capt. Andy Living
ton, left Nenana on her last trip of
the season to Roosevelt, where the
Aitken ore is landed on the Kantish
na from the mine. The launch has
made two trips this season,- and with
the barge Budweiser, has hauled 1200
sacks of ore each trip, and this is her
last trip. She has 180 horsepower
and does the best she can, but she
can’t bring out all the ore Aitken
would like to get to the smelter this €
year.

REVOLUTIONISTS BEING
SURROUNDED BY TROOPS
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Zamora, the Mexican
revolutionist, is reported to be sur
rounded by federal troops. He is still
holding one American and one Eng
lishman in order to obtain the guar
antees he demanded as a condition of
surrender.
DIXON LEADS ALL IN
RACE FOR GOVERNOR
HELENA, Mont., Aug. 26 (by Asso
ciated Press). — Incomplete returns
from the primary election for state
officers give Joseph M. Dixon, former
United States senator, a lead of 9,000
in the race with six others for the
Republican nomination for governor.
FAILS IN ATTEMPT TO
SWIM ENGLISH CHANNEL
DOVER, Eng., Aug. 26 (by Associ
ated Press).—Henry Sullivan of Low
ell, Mass., who started last night in
an attempt to swim the English chan
nel from Dover to Calais, was taken
from the water 10 miles from the
French coast, according to reports re
ceived here.
FIRST OF FISHING
FLEET REACHES ’FRISCO
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 26 (by As
sociated Press).—The first of the
Alaska Packers’ Association fleet en
tered the harbor with the season’s
catch. The catch is said to be almost
as light as the record one of last year.
The association’s entire Bristol bay
fleet is homeward bound, and other
vessels there will start home soon.
TURNSTILES BARRED
PLACES AMUSEMENT
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25—The inter
nal revenue bureau has announced that
turnstiles which register the number
of persons admitted to places of
amusement when used in lieu of tick
ets will no tbe allowed by the tax col
lecting agencies of the government.
CITIZENSHIP IMPLIES
LOVE OF COUNTRY
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26—(Special
Correspondence).—Speaking as a
member of the committee on immi
gration and naturalization in the
house of representatives, Representa
tive Isaac Siegel, of New York, says
that United States typifies love of
country. “Citizenship implies desire
and will and obligation to give all
you possess in behalf of the coun
try in which you live. As far as the
immigration committee is concerned,
it is determined upon one thing—
that in the United States there is
not going to be room for a living
creature, no matter how small he can
be, if he is not willing to stand by
America 24 hours a day. It is only
in the last two years that the immi
gration law really provides for illit
eracy test and examination both
physically and mentally. It gave the
government all the power it could ask
for to effect the deportation of un
desirables. The astonishing feature
of our investigation has been that
we find that the man who cannot read
English or any language in fact, is
the very man who is willing to listen
to people who have no love for Amer
ica.”
POLLUTION OF STREAMS
WILL BE PROSECUTED
THE DALLES, Ore., Aug. 26.—In
order to stop pollution of drinking
water and prevent disease here, the
state board of health has issued a
drastic order that the city’s water
shed must be kept free from cattle,
horses, sheep, goats, swine or other
grazing animals; that persons must
not trespass within its boundaries, and
that fishermen must cease whipping
Dog river and Mill creek, trout streams
running through the land furnishing
the city’s water supply.
The order was necessary because
pollution has come through persons
md animals using the watershed for
fishing and feeding grounds. Viola
tion of the order will bring immediate
irrest and punishment.
The Daily Times Job Plant is well
quipped for all classes of commercial
printing.
