Captain Bell must not have bad a very
high conception of the intelligence of
Dalles audience when he had the" hardl
hood to tell us last night that England
is perfectly satisfied with, the American
policy of protection because it is the
means by which that country is able to
maintain the commercial supremacy of
the world. If any one thing connected
with this whole tariff controversy
clear it is that Eneland is very much
dissatisfied and has ample reasons
for
Mr. Hermann made some excellent
points in his speech on the river and
harbor bill while that bill was under
general debate. He commenced by as
serting that if any., objection could be
made to the bill it would be that the
' sum provided was entirely inadequate
for the commercial needs of the country.
Continuing, he added : "It should be
$40,000,000. The engineers of the gov
ernment urgently ask for $69,814,954,
while we allowed but $21,290,975. The
proposed expenditure of such insuffi
cient sum is not economy, but
may be properly characterized as ex
travagance, for experience proves that
limited sums means costly work. Of
ninety '.new projects favorably recom
mended and supported by incontestable
showing f public worth, only twenty-
. five were allowed. The time has come
when -such policy must cease. Public
sentiment favors liberal .appropriations
for the waterways of the country.
An unreasonable per cent of the pro
ducer's 'toil goes into transportation.
The people understand this, and know
that no money is so well spent as that
for its waterways. In reply to Holman's
criticism of'the contract system, Mr.
Hermann -said this was the' greatest re
deeming feature of the bill. It assures
the country that at last the government
proposes to do what any wise business
nan would do in his own concerns. He
referred to the unprecedented success at
Che mouth Of the Columbia river, where, .
by having liberal sums and the contract
system for most of the work and mater
ial, tbe government had saved $1,347,- j to European needs
being so. Our protective policy has
closed Americican ports to numerous
articles of British - manufacture.
has shut down hundreds of her mills and
factories, closed many of her mines
rendered their operation unprofitable
and thrown thousands of her artisans
out of employment. Even Lord Salis:
bury, much against his will no doubt, is
compelled to acknowledge this. In his
sDeech at Hasting on tbe 18th of the
present month he is reported to have
said "A danger is growing up. Foreign
nations are adopting protection and ex
eluding us from their maikets and try
ing to kill our trade. The important
point is, while other nations are negoti
ating to obtain each others commercial
favors, none are anxious about the favor
of Great Britain because Great Britain
has stripped herself of the armor and
weapons with which the battle
fought." He complained most of the
United States but fully recognized that
no retaliatory measures could be adopted
against us because England couldjnot
eet along without "articles which are
essential to the eood of tbe people and
raw material which is essential to Eng-
lish manufacturers." Here is a wail
from the British Iron Trade Circular of
January 7th, that is far from indicating
British satisfaction . with the American
policy:' "It is seemingly but a few
years ago that we made all the rails that
America needed. It was the Welsh rail
which linked the Puritan north to the
Cavalier States of the Sputh, which
crossed the great pampas and wastes,
bringing the Mormon into control and
helping to subdue the impetuous red
skin, and bringing, we may add, the
granaries of Chicago and tbe great in
dustries of Pennsylvania as tributaries
What do Iwe now
300, and secured a depth of thirty feet) make? iNota solitary rail goes from
at low water, which was formrIv onlv I Wales to the States ! Ironmasters once
nineteen feet. He referred also to Phil
adelphia, where the department esti
mated a -saving of $3,600,000 on a project
estimated to cost $4,800,000; and a sav
ing of $700,000 at Galveston, and nearly
$1,000,000 at the Sault St. Marie canal.
o soon as the Cascade locks are com
pleted and The Dalles obstructions are
overcome, he predicted that within three
years thereafter 30,000,000 bushels of
.grain will pass without break ot cargo
from the wheat-fields east of the Cascade
mountains to the high seas. He recited
thought that the Americans could not
make steel rails. They have now beaten
our record, we nave dreamt that we
only can make tin plate ; that there is
something in the coal and iron we have
different to others. This is only a
dream. The shrewd American, a pro
duct of the keenest of every kind many
expatriated for the fact that their quick
brains were not under moral discipline
will be sure to meet home demands with
home supplies."
j A well authenticated rumor is said to
I have been current in Portland a couple
the supreme value of liberal appropria-.j of daJ-8 as0 t0 the effecfc that, the resig-
tions for his state, for, he said, "where
competition is possible, combination
will be impossible, and when we appro
priate for our waterways we appropriate
Jor the. people." There have bean given
in lees than forty years 200,480,387 acres
of the public domain to railway and
wagon road companies, while in nearly
a century of our existence the expend
itures for the nation's waterwavs do not
exceed $204,000,000.
The cry about the billion dollar con
gress has happily died away into a still
ness as palpable as the cry itself was
demagogic and partisan. The people
are far less concerned about the mere
amount of money devoted to the running
of the government machinery than they
are concerning the use to which it is
pnt Democrats have discovered by
aetualexperience that a billion dollar
-country cannot be run on ten cent ap
propriations. In spite of all their efforts
to economize, under the controlling in
fluence of the prince of economists, Hol
man, himself, the appropriations of the
first session of the present congress have
exceeded those of the first session of the
"billion dollar congress" itself by $33,
000,000, not including in this amount
$26,000,000 authorized for contracts on
rivers and harbors or $15,000,000 still to
be added for pensions and sundry civil
appropriations. .We do not refer to this
in any spirit of fault finding. The large
contract appropriations have been made
in the interests of true economy and the
party in . control of the house deserve
much credit for having been able to lay
aside party traditions and make appro
priations measurably commensurate
with the needs of the country. Liberal
appropriations for internal improve
ments is a settled policy of tbe republi
can party and they cannot consistently
find fault if the democracy are giving
practical indications of a tardy -conver-rsion
to the same policy.
nations of Senator R. M. Veatch and J,
H. Slater, the democratic candidates for
congress, were in tbe hands of the dem
ocratic state central committee, to be
acted upon as soon as a similar docu
ment is forthcoming from Will H. Wal
ker, the candidate of the people's party
for supreme judge. The deal is said to
be a play of Governor Pennoyer to
catch the alliance vote for George Cham
berlain, the democratic candidate for
attornev-general and Judge A. S. Ben
nett, candidate for supreme judge. Tbe
people's party candidates for congress are
said to be acceptable to the majority of
the democrats of the state. They will
certainly draw their main strength,
whatever it may amount to, from the
democrats and Veatch and Slater would
have nothing to lose, as there is no prob
able chance of their election. It is quite
likely there is no real foundation for tbe
rumor, but, on the other hand Pennoyer j
is shrewd Deyond question and it would
surprise nobody to find that he has been
quietly working his schemes while Her
mann is attanding to his business in
ashington.

BKPORT OF T1IE GRAND JURY.
In the matter of tbe final report of the
Grand Jury for the May term, 1892: We
respectfully report that we have now
been in session four days, and have found
and returned into court two true bills,
and two . not true bills. We have been
much annoyed and considerably delayed
in our work by tbe absence of witnesses.
This was caused by certain subpoenas be
ing returned-unserved, which necesitated
their being sent out the second time. All
this was due to the neglect of the deputy
sheriff at Antelope, and we were finally
compelled to pass upon the case with but
little evidence before us, which necessi
tated our finding not a true bill
We have also inquired into tbe offices
pertaining to the courts of justice within
the county, and also the public prisons
the county and the county hospital,
We find the prisons unoccupied by pris
oners, but hnd them neatly kept. W e
found two inmates in the county hospi
tal properly and well kept and provided
for, and the hospital well kepi and man
aged. We find the office of the sheriff in
good order and well kept and managed ;
and further find that the office, books,
and accounts of the county clerk's office
are in excellent condition and are neatly
and skillfully kept. We would, however,
recommend that the county court take
some steps to furnish better facilities for
storing away old records, which have ac
cumulated to such an extent that the
vault is in a very crowded condition,
causing delay and annoyances to the peo
ple having occasion to examine the old
files of record. We find the books and
accounts of the county ti ensure r well
and neatly kept, and in all respects cor-
uy judge i. A. aioore candidate lor su
preme jndge, Hon. H. B. Miller, of
Grant's Pass and Judge J. C. Moreland,
! of Portland. He was introduced by Mr.
J. B. Huntington and spoke as - follows :
He was glad to have another opportun
ity of getting acquainted witli the peo
ple of The Dalles who had always treated
bim with marked kindness, especially
so when he had, as on former occasions,
come before them to ask their suffrages.
He was not going to speak of the past
record of the republican party. It had
been, to a large extent, the history ef
the United States for more than thirty
years and the newspapers of the country
which all read had placed his audience
in a position to be as familiar with this
record as he was himself. He was- not
not going to ask the support of . the peo
ple for the republican ticket because
of the party's record but on the
ground of the principles enunci
ated in their platform. Four par
ties were ' before them asking their
suffrages. First, the republican party
of which he was proud to be a member ;
second, the democratic party, repre-1
sented by his friend Slater, of Le Grande ;
third, the people's party represented by
his friend Luce from the John Day
country, and fourth, the . prohibition
party, represented by Mr. Bright of
Sherman county. The'republican party
came before the people with a platform,
as well as a record that no man need be
ashamed of. The 51st congress, in
which the republicans had a majority,
passed the anti-trust bill, the anti-lottery
bill, the dependant pension bill,
and last but not least, the McKinley
bill. The democratic party had - suc
ceeded by falsehood and deception in
obtaining a majority in the present con
gress and now that they have been at
work since last December what have
they accomplished? They have been
digging so long at a bill that contains
between 700 and 1,000 items and yet
have actually attacked only about half a
dozen of them. The first of these was
the clause that related to pearl buttons.
The democratic'party thought the duty
on pearl buttons was too high. Then they
attacked tin, because they had discovered
that the working man's dinner pail was
taxed 5-12 of a cent. It was estimated
that the McKinley bill saves annually
to each family in the United States
about $3. Admitting that the laboring
man paid 5-12 of a cent, tax on his din
ner pail he was still $2.90-7-12 ahead.
The wool tariff had been attacked. He
believed wool should be protected. He
did not believe in a tariff for . revenue
only. He believed in a tariff for actual
protection, not incidental. Democrats
wanted to place the farmer's wool on the
free list and protect the manufacturer's
cloth 39 per cent. Why should the
Rhode Island manufacturer be protected
and the wool grower of Oregon exposed
to competition from Australia' and the
Argentine Republic? Extracts from a
published letter of Mr. Slater were read,
in which that gentleman took the ground
that this country does not need the rev
enue from wool, it was more revenue
than it wants, and declaiming against
the wool grower because he asks protec
tion for bis wool from a government
that gives him free pasture for his sheep.
Mr. Ellis held that the country needed a
England, while generally spoken of as
free trade country, collects over $100,
000,000, a year of taxes on imports. But
England's idea of tariff is just the oppo
site of our. She levies a duty on arti
cles she cannot produce herself. We,
on the other hand, levy duties on arti-
cles we can produce, allowing those we
cannot produce to enter free. Hence in
England the tariff is always a tax on
the consumer, while in this country,
unless the article taxed is an import, 'it
is uy no means ordinarily a tax.

The silver miners are fighting for 'free
Silver for all there is in it for themselves.
The product of the silver mines of the
TJaited States for 1891 was 58.333,000
ounces of the commercial value of $57,
, 630(030, or of the coining value, in silver
dollavs of $75,416,565. The silver men
expect that a free coinage law would
" create a market for their product so
that with an output similar to that of
last year they would be able to pocket a
net -additional profit of $17,786,535.
With a free coinage law the silver men
expect to get a dollar for 68 cents Worth
of silver. No wonder they are all in
favor of free coinage. - -- ..

case when a telegram was received by
the attorney the railroad mak
ing a proposition of settlement. A
few -. minutes conference with the
plaintiff and the sum offered by
the company - (said to be $500)
was accepted. The rest of the afternoon
was spent in hearing arguments on
duniurrers. This morning the grand
jury brought in a true bill against Kerr

till tomorrow morning to plead. Shortly
after the opening of the afternoon ses
sion today, it was found that no cases
were ready for trial and the jury was

W. H. Taylqh, Foreman, j . Our British cousins were doing the
same thing. He read an extract from
the London Engineering Nctet in which
the writer said that the McKinley bill
Was entirely satisfactory from an Ameri
can point of view. It was doing the very
thing it was intended for, namely : to
stimulate and build up American indus
tries. The speaker hoped a change would
be brought about by .the restoration of
the democratic party to power, when the
"sting,", the protection feature, would
be abolished. "It is for this reason." he
adds, "that the hopes of the democratic
party are so largely shared by the Eng
lish people." The speaker said these
hopes would be crushed when Oregon
would be heard from on the 6th of June.
When the tariff is narrowed down to a
question as to our best interests, or those
of the people of England, it is easy to
make choice. Hit, were even a question
that related to the interests of Oregon
on one hand, and New York on the other,
he would decide in favor of Oregon, first,
last and all the time. He was even in
favor of a law with a 'sting" in it. Eng
land never hesitated to sting this, or any
other country, to subserve her interests.
The republican party were in favor of
internal improvements. . The democrats
were opposed." In this respect they had
abandoned Jefferson and followed G ro
ver Cleveland. The speaker favored
liberal appropriations for internal im
provements. He believed in the open
ing of the Columbia river, not because
he was a candidate and it was expected
of him. Those who knew him knew
that he had always been an earnest ad
vocate of the scheme. If elected he
would do everything in his power to this
end. With an open river Eastern Ore
gon, would take the place that belongs
to her, a place she will never take till
the Columbia river ib spened to the sea.
He was entirely in favor of letting the
work by contract and would be proud to

quered the astonished waiter. "Yes,"
replied the nonchalent guest. "Do you
see that stake out there in the water ;
well, I put that there last night myself,
and it is exactly sixty feet from the dry
sand." "Humph!" indignantly inter
polated a curious guest, who had by this
time come over to the window to take in
the sight, "you must 'be a greeny; if
that rule worked the river has risen six
miles at my place!" Then he wished
to explain the method of water measure

work for that object.
Democrats had raised the cry of econ
omy, but this was a billion dollar
country and proof was being made every
day that it could not be run by a ten cent
congress. Democratic economy was well
illustrated when a bill was brought be
fore the senate recently to refund the
dollar and a quarter per acre excess paid
by those who had pre-empted or com
muted lands inside of railroad grants
that wer afterwards forfeited to the gov
eminent. Every republican in the sen
ate, save one, voted for the bill. Every
democrat, without exception voted
against it. And what was their excuse?
They pleaded that an election was com
ing on and that they must practice
economy. "That money," said Mr.
Ellis, "belongs to the people by right
and justice and would be theirs today
out tor a democratic congress.
Another class of politicians ask to be
put in office -who are going around the
coon try preaching what Chauncev
Depew calls the gospel of dispoir. They
tell us the country is going to destruc
tion and that our banking and financial
system is the worst in the world. Mr.
Ellis was old enough to remember the
character of our banking system, before
the republican party came into power.
Money, was not only hard to get but if
one started to market with a ten dollar
bill, worth its face when he left home,
before he got his purchases made it
might not be worth ten cents. Every
merchant in those days carried a little
book called a bank detector and when
you presented him with a bank bill he
took out bis little book and told you how
many cents on the dollar your bill was
worth. Thanks to the republican party
every dollar in the country, whether in
gold, silver or bank notes, was on a
parity with every other dollar. He had
no sympathy with the school of dispair.
Luce who is preaching to the people be
yond the raging John Day, tells them
(figuratively speaking, he supposed) that
the tarms of Oregon are plastered with
mortgages six feet deep. Mr. Ellis had
attended court .recently in Mr.
Luce's own county and out of
eighty cases on the docket
there was only one mortgage foreclosure.
He knew Gen. Weaver years ago as a
zealous .republican and Weaver's zeal
for republicanism never left him till the
party refused to elect him governor.
Then, all at once, he discovered some
thing wrong in the party and he joined
the greenbackers. . They rewarded him
by running him for president. After
ward as half-and-half greenbacker And
democrat, he was elected to congress.
Then he went over to the democrats
again. Then be turned prohibitionist
and, now, iit partnership with the man
who has been trying to prove that
Shakespeare didn't write his own plays,
he is preaching calamity and woe and
blaming the republican party for it all.
If elected to congress Mr. Ellis would
vote with his party on all party ques
tions, but his first duty would always
be towards his constituents. He would
be tbe servant of all without respect to
party. He had told his hearers where
he stood and if they believed their in
terests and the interests of the people
would be safer in the hands of Mr.
Slater or , Mr. Luce or Mr. Bright, it
was their duty to vote that way. The
party to which he belonged had been
entrusted with the people's interests
since 1861, saving fqnr short years.
Four years of democratic rule was found
to be enough. He believed tbe re
publican party would be retained in
power and if so, the interests of the
people would be best served by one in
harmony with the administration. If
elected to the office to which he aspired
his highest ambition would be to serve
the people in an acceptable manner. .
Judge F. A. Moore was then called on
but he said the ethics of the judiciary
precluded him from saying anything.
The next speaker was Judge J. C.
Moreland, who said he had drank in re
publicanism with Horace Greely in the
dark ways of 1856. He believed in the
record of tbe republican party. If the
democratic party had ever done any
good for the country he would like some
one who knew what that good was. to
get up and tell it. The democratic
party had no stable policy. They had
been the enemies of the country's pro
gress and had fought this progress at
every stey. He expected to stick to the
republican party as long as that party
leads in the path of public progress.
The war tariff started in 1861. In 1883
a republican congress reduced tbe tax
on wool and every democrat in Oregon
raised a howl. In , 1888 the "Stuffed
Prophet" said wool should be free and
the democrats bowed in meek' submis
sion. . If the Chinese are excluded because
they cannot be assimilated, because our
laborers cannot live on Chinese wages
whv permit the products of the pauper
labor of the world to come here free and
compete with our higher paid labor?
He believed in a tax sufficient to im
prove onr waterways. With .an open
river the Inland Empire Is capable of
sustaining a population of va million in
habitants. Democratic economy had in
duced Cleveland to veto the river and
harbor appropriations, and thus put
back public works for two years. Man
made the railroads, but God made the
rivers, and we need money and means to
open them. He urged his hearers to vote
for the party that had helped them in
tbe past. That party came before the
people with a platform and candidates
that no man need be ashamed of.
He had known Judge Moore for 20 years
and hod known him to be a clean,
honorable and capable man. Every
candidate on the ticket was as good a
man, at least, as his opponent on the
democratic ticket. The eyes of Ihe
United States are fixed on Oregon. As
Nelson said at the battle of Trafalgar,
"England expects every man to do his
duty" so the republican party all over
this broad land expects every Oregonion
to do his duty. . He believed their expec
tations would not be disappointed.
The last speaker was Hon. H.
B. Miller, of Grant's Pass. Mr.
Miller said the great question
between th rival parties was largely an
industrial one. Four parties are in tbe .
field ; but three of them may be lumped
together as far as this question is con
cerned. Judging the democratic party
by its platforms reminded him of the
answer given by a negro to his colored
brother as to the meaning of the word
platform. "It was the plank used to get
from one car to another, but it was dan
gerous to ride on the platform." It was
dangerous to ( the democratic party
to judge , it by its platforms.
The speaker then read extracts
from tbe various national platforms
of the democratic party from 1 856 down
to 1888 showing the vacillating policy of
the party on the protection question.
The republican party had held to pro
tection, without wavering during all the
years of its existence. The same vacil
lating policy with regard to internal im
provements was poipted out in a similar
manner. In 1S56 the party declared
that appropriations for the purpose of
internal improvements were unconstitu
tional. The same .opinion was reaf
firmed down till 1SS0. In 1884 the party
declared in favor of appropriations for
the Mississippi and "other rivers." The
republican party had always been in
favor of internal improvements.. No
nation can ever become great wilhout
developing all her resources. During 500
years England maintained the severest
protection laws ever known in the his
tory of the world. Free trade will suit
us when we are in a position similar to
England; when our resources are all
developed and we have to send abroad
for bread to sustain our people. . The
McKinley bill had reduced the tax on
every trust product. It hod taxed agri
cultural products for the benefit of the
agriculturist. Since the bill became a
law the importation of agricultural pro
duct's have decreased fifty millions. We
have the most magnificent resources of
any country in the world, but we
need protection to fully develoje them.
It was the laboring man who drove back
the Chinese hordes, not any
particular party. Why should
we admit the - fruit of their
labor free when we refuse to admit
themselves? He had seen Chinese gran
ite used as paving for the streets of
Portland. He advised his hearers to ,
study the platforms of the parties and
vote where their interests and the in
terests of the nation lav. The foregoing
from Mr. Miller is the barest outline of
a very able address.
Mr. Huntington then announced that
Hon. Chas. W. Fulton of Astoria would
