INTERROGATORY THE PORTLANDOREGONIAN ASKS SOME PERTINENT QUESTIONS Concerning Tariff Reductions. The "lowa Idea" is Spreading to the Pacific Coast. In Discussing the Matter, the Merits of the Case Are Avoided, and Glittering Generalities Indulged in- We arc told that the tariff should 1 accurately adjusted from time to time to the cost of production. No ons will preti'iid that the cost of production has remained stationary since the Dingley hill was passed six years ago. It is better, perhaps, to iav that the turifT should not he changed just before a presidential election, and let it go at that It is better not to wander far upon the quagmire of actual fact.

The tariff should be changed wherever and whenever necessary (that is to say, never), upon the basis of the difference in cost of production between this country and abroad. We make steel billets and deliver them in England about $3 a ton cheaper than the Englishmen can. This is the testimony of President Schwab of the steel trust. Accordingly we should pay a bounty of a ton 011 steel im- ported from Euiope, instead of allowing our steel men a bounty of $1 a ton on all steel imported in competition with their cheaper processes. Undoubtedly, it is said, there are inequalities in thu tariff, and they should I 1)3 corieeted wherevtr and whenever necessary (that is to say, never).

Hut what aie the inequalities? Is it not a little remarkable, come to think of it, that not one of the "stand-patters," from Manna down, or up, lias ever mentioned I definitely a single one of the inequalities to which frequent reference is vaguely i I made, and whose correction is cheer- fully promised from year to year nnd age to age? They are plentiful i enough in the steel, and boots and shoes, '1 and Implements, anil locomotives, and and salt, and paper and copper schedules; but neither Aldrich nor Aliii sun ever beanl of them. They are afraid if they do it will make votes the 1 democratic party. They ate more solicitous for their party than for common justice to the people. But we should not reform the tariff, I because tariff reform will not destroy the trusts. This does not quite cover the case.

In the words of the prophet, the lied is shorter than that a man may stretch himself on it, and the blanket is too abbreviated to cover him. I cannot buy you a watch, my son, for a witch will not keep your back warm in winter. There may possibly be other uses of tariff revision than to destroy the trusts. It is the idolized goal of the "stand-patters" to dissociate the question and the trust question. The trust question must stand on its own bottom.

So be it. The tariff may stand aIBO 011 its own bottom. The question as to the tariff, therefore, is not whether it will destroy any trusts or not, but whether in a'l its aspects it is right and just, sound and necessary. Tariff reform will not destroy bedbugs, either; but it will destroy old abuses and lift from the people lieavj burdens of unnecessarily high prices which they have carried long. Every inequality of the tariff should be correeted.

Well, is the tariff on steel equal? Oh, but this is a great aud glorious country. Well, is the tariff of 25 per cent on boots and shoes necessary? OSi, but we are the greatest manufacturing nation on earth. Well, is tiie copper trust not able at length to stand alone, without free copper and high duties on its finished products? Oh, but the tariff should be revised by its friends. Kindly show why the anthracite trust can endure free coal, but the steel trust cannot endure free iron. Oh, but our workingunen must be protected from the pauper labor of Europe.

Will the republican party ever revise the tariff, except to make it higher, as it did with the McKinley and the Dingley bills? Oh, but there is a presidential election approaching, and we shall need campaign funds from the protected corporations. If the tariff is a business question and is to be settled on reference to cost of production, cost of labor, why is it we never mention these industries by name and discuss the cost? Why is it that wo fight so shy of the merits of the case and reply to every definite inquiry with only the most glittering generalities? Is it because we aie afraid of too close investigation into the ability of our infant industries to stand alone? Eyea Htted by apeclalleU. GOLDMAN'S, Seattle. Wadding and engagement rlnga.

The charges were nad, which recited that the place was kept in tucli a disorderly manner as to be a menace to the moral health of the ity, and that it was a resortjof the lowest classes, male and female. The charges were preferred by Marshal Anstie, who stated the character of the house; that a house of ill fame was conducted over the saloon, and that robberv was a common affair in that place. Sherwood moved that the license be revoked, and the motion prevailed, and the marshal was directed to notify Holpa to close the saloon at once. The clerk was directed to draw a warrant for the unexpired term of his license. Ladue reported that the hose houses on Market and Hume atreets had had the stove pipes removed, and were made safe from fire.

The Carnegie library resolution was i again introduced, with the change from last meeting to the effect that one-third of the sum donated by Carnegie be used for books, fixtures and furniture.
