Ueltcpii.es to the Democratic At lucks Upon Him. Tlio, Dalles Times-Mountaineer has ile following report of Hon. D. P. Thompson's campaign 8ecoh ai that place: On the liuifl' question lie hUd seen practical illustrations of the workings of free trade and pro tection in other cotintties, and was Hi inly convinced that a protective policy was the better one. Ho had seen 70 bushels of wheat raided to the acre In Egypt, and labor cost only 15 cents a day. This could be shipped to Liverpool much cheaper, than grain from America. On tin shores of the Rlack sea 40 bushels to the acre cculd be raised, and wages IS ccutauday. In the grain-producing portion of India the crop were enormous, and labor command ed le.-s price than tho countries mentioned. Theso nations had cheaper transportation rates than the United St-ites, and by adopting fiee trade would not in urea u tho priceof the product until wo could get the grain to market as cheaply as other countries. In all free trade countries ho found laborers Illy-fed and poorly paid: and In protected countries the conveiSe was true. The American waue-carners are belter-fed, better clothed than thoo of freO trade states, and our people have tho privilege- of acquiring an education. Mr. Thompson said consientiously as a patriotic Ameri can citizen ho did, not believe It woultHJuLfor the nest Interest of tin1 United State To change tho presold policy ot the country. Mr. Thompson '-aid on his head -i5?.- had lull en most of the abuse of Democratic speakers ami papeis. Gov. Pennoyer had been paiadedas treeing the state from indebtedness. The facts in this matter are that when he took his scat the state was onlj in debt r0,00u, and this was pilncipally clue from the sale of swamp lands. Dining tho excellent administration of Mr. 'A. K. Moody, the lliiauces weio in good sliape, and every debt was In pro cess of liquidation. Since Governor Peiinoycr's teim of olllce bewail he has received S2.j0.000 from the gen eral government by tiniply signing the receipt. These claims were hunted up by fiecietary McHiiilo and pressed by our delegation hi congtess. Pennoyer found the stutc tax 1 1-20 mills and is now six, being an increase of over four mills. Mr. Thompson has always been a filend to ballot leform, and was1 among tho llrst to lecouimeud the adoption of the Australian system by the legislature. Ho Is satisfied it w mild woi k great good, and be means I of purifying polities His recoid on this Is known to the ballot reform league of this state, and they will substantiate his statements. As! regards the assessment law, ho bo lieves in changing the present one. It would be belter to allow no hi dcbtcdnoH than the maimer In which this exemption from taxation is ii-ed now. I telle vm In tha ap pointment of a board of equalization by the governor or selection by the lo'dslatute. If elected by the peo ple, there would be the- same dif ficulty that there Is now. This board should cjuall.u the taxation Ol HlOhfUlO. ' WAtJIJN liOAiws. Dining the lust legislature', dlll'ur- j out portions of the stale bad iiHked ' for aid to coiistiucl uagon loads. One In Wallowa county and another j from Loiik Creek lo Iloppuer lie hud supported and voted for; hut Governor i'oiuioyer kept them In his fsieket and permitted them to become laws by lupc of tune, Tho i Hull-iuii uuter tilll noii-tuxablu . , he had vo'ed for, lietMiMhehollovod it whs for the lutire.1 of Ills eoiistl-: tiionts. Gov. Puuiinyur vetisd , this bill, but approved iho uuii-tax-' abltf bills two years Imfore. If iIium bills aro taxable thuinonoj U 1 1 go out of Iho statu, and isuistMjueutly no taxes will lie n-oelved on them.

As regards dock privelagati, Mr. Tiiumiii said Iib was never at any ttma owner of a ono third uilureat in tliw tilar bhk, aud furthar, tha mayor hud nopowvr whatever In tba mutter. Hehd laaruad of an aetlon of thw ox wait J ve with whluh the sxple sb'Hibl m oonvorMMnt. CVrtalu Indfinnlty lauds were allowed by tho general government by reason of several school sections be lug Included hi the Warm Springs reservation. These should havo been selected contiguous to the reservation, instead of which n syn dicate of three or four persons had been formed, nnd these had selected tho well-watered lands in Morrow, Gilliam nnd Wasco counties, to tho amount 30,000 acres. Tho land of fice nt Tho Dalles refused to "list" these. 'Rut they had been bargained In advance for $.1.60 an acre, when the state was only allowed $1.25, making n clear gain of $2.23 an acre, or ?07,r00 for tho whole tract. Gov. Pennoyer spends about 100 days in Salem, and receives $15 u day, which is fair wages. As regards tho water works, in this city, Mr. Thompson said hi owned one-half of a quarter interest in them; but never had anything to do with their management. They wero now for side, aud could bo purchased by the city if desired. Mr. Thompson mado a very favorablo mpresslou on the audience, and was frequently applauded. He Is a clear, concise speaker, and evinces clear judg ment aud good practical sense in everything lie says. At tho close of Mr. Thompson's speech the meeting adjourned amidst the wildest en thusiasm. TtIK ri.ACl-UAlSINO AND l'OI.ITICS. All the people felt n thrill of pa triotic satisfaction over the raising of the stars nnd stripes over the public school May 1(1. The way people turned out nnd tho Joy all felt in the great successor tho occa sion for the time annihilated all po litlcal aud leliglous distinctions. All pure-minded cltl.eiis felt a great pleasiiie that even the fat ho. lie population, who aie sometimes wrongly charged with enmity to w aid our free school system, tin ned out en masse to attest their love for the cause of patrioti-m aud piiblio education. It was sigiiillcaut that the only Catholic college In tho county set t Its college baud at their own expense to furnish music, and their strains mingled In playing the national airs with those of the band from the Wcbljtui college In the only fiee air of tho continent that of the Uniud States, n country where the teim religious toleration is almost an insult, but religious freedwin 'hud equality ltran estab lished fact. Stilt there nro always a few per sons capable of harboring narrow and bigoted sentiments on tho most sacicd occasion. An occasional per son of demented political proclivities Insinuated that this ilag-ralslng was apolitical move got up to further the Grand Aimy organization and In the Interests of tho republican patty. Such aspersions need only to be stated to be annihilated. Re fill tit imi Is supcriluous. If theio aie such persons they are not republl cans and no other party would own them. There may have been such democrats In times past that had a well-accredited standing in their party In Oregon, but they havo not now. There uic too many loyal democrats who would not during the war, and will not now, allow the Hag to be trailed in the dust, to give such a cranky individual 11113 harbor in that political party or allow them to shelter their tieasou able sentiments behind the shield of Unit party for 11 moment. If an.v such individuals imagine that such iews have any following oven In the demociiitlc pally, they would be dislluslotiled by taking a poll ol that party, and they would not (lud enough to form a body guard fur their funeral. In tho republican party they would llutl none but hands ready and willing to glvo them luiiuedlato burial. it is not necessary to go Into any passionate discussion of this matter for the demagogical purpose of mak ing political capital, 'I lie reenrd ol the icpuhllcan party Is all light towaid the tlag. Ko Is the record of the great northern wing ol democracy. Ho far as the rest are concerned they havo accepted th" lessons of patriotism m they wen taught on the bloody fields of battle and only a person of defective loyal ty e: Intellect will call that arbltre incut III question now. It would have been a good thing for the na tlon if the euatom of llag.ralslug on tho school houses had been lustltut ed long la-foru the civil war w;is nee MMury to teach tho American peop e the necessity of one Hag, one nation and one government. Let the Grand Army go on In Its noble work of planting a Hug 011 every school house In the nation. The people will uphold it. A HOT CAMI'AKl.N TI10 polilloil caiiiHilgu In Oregon U getting hot. The democrats start ed in on a canvass of ersoual attauks, making Hon. D. P-Thomp. Mm, the republican candidate for the governorship, (he target of their abuse. Mr. Pennoyer mukes u spesichof two hours In length :Mid when he In not uugaued in Usmlrch lug the character of id opponent, he Is employed In mi ultuck nil the republican party for thirty yean back, trying to make nut that It hua always been one w-ethlng moxs of IKiIltloal corruption. Much in the corrupt Inn line inljht be retorted on the democrats, wen we Inclined ! to engago lu it. Tho Jouh.val ha9 been disposed to discuss Mr. Pen noyer ou his merits. It; was tho only straight republican paper In tho state to prlut his speech accepting tho democratic- nomination. It has boon taught that Governor Penuoy crroso abovo tho rank of a mere partisan, and wns a friend and champion of tho working inau and tho farmer aud an antl-motiopollst. To a certain extent wo believe this and nro wllliug to givo Mr. Pennoy er credit with bctug a more than average honest democratic ofllclal. Rut he must kuow that there Is a limit to personal attacks nnd abuso of republicans. As that is tho kind of a campaign tho democrats havo Inaugurated they nniBt expect the rule of glvo and take to apply. While Mr. Pennoyer may Jie a good enough governor forany democrat to vote Tor, wo do not believe that he has been such a suirlor, second-George-Washington kind of n inau that any republican ought to vote for him. Wo publish in this paper n letter from a democratic oitlclal of Iho land department, which Is a part of the llles of that department and the autheuticity of which Is not dis puted, which sets Mr. Pennoyer out In the light of a land-grabber, and declares lu so many words that Mr. Pennoyer Is a member of n state house land ring that has, by con nivance and collusion, secured thou siindB of acres or school lands by withholding them from the public and bidding them In nt ?1.2." 1111 aero and selling them at $3.50 an aero and pocketing the dlHerence. This letter from this deniocratlo olllclal Is very explicit. Wo publish It lu full. We have not seen nny adequate explanation or detail of (ho state ments in this letter. Mr. Peii noycr's friends in tho press hoot at the idea, and Mr. Pennoyer throws himself busk on the fact that tho ic puhllcan secretary of state Is 11 ineiu ucruf the slate council, etc. We do not see that It makes any dIH'ereiice who Is a member of the state house laud ling. If what Is charged in the letter of this ditno cratlstrue, Mr. Pennoyer Is gully of a land swindle 011 a largo scale, and wo would not for a moment try to screen a republican who was guil ty of tho sumo tlrjiig. Rut Mr. Pen uoycr 1h heldiiftjfa,-n suporllhV pa triot, and Is nrtfcerihor Titld 'ft Wero critic of others, and tho facts as set forth on tho faco of this letter from a prominent member of the Cleve land administration do not bear It out. it is In order for the democratic party to clear Mr. Pennoyer of this charge or faco tho cliarpo of fraud aud corruption lu the management of the public lauds. We piint also the speech of Mr. Thompson on tho subject, and wo shall hope to hear of a complete vindication of Mr. Pennoyer from all complicity In u state house laud ring. Till! lKKi: SlIflAU 1111,1, I'ASSI.'ll. The now Republican Taiiir Hill has passed the house! It received every republican vote in congress but one, and that was from the only sugar-producing statu lu the nation Louisiana. The free sugar bill was opposed by uvoty democratic- vols in congress, lu splto of deniocratlo pretensions that thelr's is a paity In favor of taking the tarlfl' tax"s ofl tho poor man's necessities of life. If the new republican tariff bill pauu's the senate It will make sugar at least one-third cheaper. It will break up the sugar trust that Is now srddled on the nation, collecting millions ofl' the people annually. It Is a shame that sugar was not put ou the free list long ago. If tho senate defeats tills bill that shoddy American house of Lords may as well prepare to emigrate. Tho people havo stood tho sugar tax as long us they propose to. The lepubllcau party deserves some credit for tho coinage to defy tho sugar-Importing trust, and putting sugar 011 tho free list. The same bill which has passed the house gives more 'implo protec tion to agricultural products. It places the tin-plate Industry in a fair way to become as great an American Industry as the manufacture of steel rails. Now let the senate meet its duly and pass this hill at an early day and the people will sustain (hem III doing so. Any quthblipg or time serving conduct lu tho interest of tho preferred classed will lw resented by the American peojtlo in 11 way tout will retire from publlullfo those engaged lu It. Lot the senate lake warning and give the people 11 free sugar bill. Astorlau; Hlx thousand buckut shops three weeks ago did nine tenths of the stook exchange deal ings of the country.
