Congress- bill has been introduced
INTO the House of Representatives for
the immediate occupation and lorma-
ton of a territorial government in Ore
gon, giving 640 acres of land TO new set
tiers, with l6O TO each child.


The bill TO reduce the rates OF The
present tariff it is thought will pass the
House, and is not without strong hope in
the Senate. We are free to confess the
opinion that the present tariff rates as a
whole ought TO be reduced The fact
that prices have fallen is attributable TO
other causes than protection, according
to the bes, logic we are master of, how
ever obvious it may appear that compe-
,ition al home may be adequate Of itself
TO reduce prices. The main object Of
tariff, revenue, would doubtless be as
much furthcred by red duction in which
protection was regarded less rs pr-
mary object and more as an incident.
while that protection would no, be the


less real or effectual.
