Till. OREGON MIST Davis bros., publishers. Mtei States and Comity Official Paper. FRIDAY, JANUARY 6, 189. ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR MISTAKE. ISsiysthe Portland Evening Tele gram i "There is a great deal of rot iu this cry about prospective Urifl' refotm being llio cause of business do pressioo. Practically it uiakcs but lit tle difference whether the MeKinley t the Wilson Urifl' it in operation, so long as all the money is being locked up in bank vaults. Let congress do ttomelhing vo force the money into cir culation. That is the immediate de mand of the country." Just so; and the way to stop further hoarding of juouey, and get tiiat alreadj piled up in the banks into circulation, is for he democrats to give the country some kind of a financial policy and a tariff that will protect the producer mini manufacturer alike from east and west without discrimination as to loca tion, or what he produces or manufac turer. The democrats may call it rot or anything else they like, but it islUeJ ....... e i4.. .....: .:t J certainty of democrato tariff tint A ing that frightened all the nioney infc 9 f hilling, closed all the factories and mines, turned the multiplied thous ands ont to starve, and caused this tin parelled business depression ; and it is the muddled, unsystematic maimer in which the dominant party continues to tinker with the tariff that keeps the money out of circulation and paralyzes the couutry. By all means let con gress Jo something, and let that some thing be to kill the Wilson tariff bill as soon as it is presented for its con sideration. With a definite financial policy and a protection policy this country could be prosperous, even under a democratic administration, and it would be much more generous aud graceful for them to acknowledge their mistake and give us these things, than to continue the mad policy of sticking lo its platform at the expense of the prosperity of the country and the comfort and happiness of the people. If we had a few more men in this state like Pennoyer, eastern people would think that it is worse here than it is in the poverty-stricken sections of Bussia. In bis recent letter to Cleve land he says that two-thirds of the peo ple here are without employment, and one-third are absolutely destitute. We don't think that a half million dollars expended in setting forth the resources -of our ever-prosperous state would hare attracted so much attention as this one ntterance of "Our Sylvester," as the associated press sent it to every comer ol the land. This letter is an insult to the people of the state, and will do no little injury in the way of keeping immigration from here. If Feunoyer must growl, let him go to Kansas where there are some calmity- howlers to accompany mm in aia foolish lingo. . .."' The Charleston Gazette, the leading democratic paper of West Virginia, aays of the tariff bill : "Unless we are greatly deceived, if this bill is adopted as reported it means West Virginia's (-tectorial vote for tbi republican nom inee f ir president in 1893. Indeed, perhaps it would not be too much to auy that it is an assurance of national republican supremacy for many years to come. And surely the democratic party need never agaia to hope to suc cessfully appeal to the people of West Virginia for indorsement. No, never again. Thus all the struggles and sacrifices the people of this state have made to free themselves from republi can rule, the victories won on hard fought fields, are lo count for naught. 4iod save the party." Thb rounty judge of Josephine county, VwlDey Colvig, at the meeting of the state board of equalization, in a 'few remarks relative to the assessment of that county last year, touches the populist assessor in this manner : "Our county assessor made a general reduc tion in the valuation of farm lands throughout the county. It is my opin ion that he assessed it at about 50 per vent of its real value. I also believe it was done for political effect in order to Jielp the side bo belongs to at the next -election. He also knew that the county ' court would be compelled to levy a higher tax iu order to raise money to run the county another year. This 'would tend to make the court very un popular with the people just what lie desires to be done." Whkhbveb a member of eongress arises to remark "I am a democrat," the question should be propounded at once, "What kind?" and be should be tagged accordingly. Whether for or against queen making, for protection or for "taiiff for revenue only," for an income tax or against it, for protection to sugar to please Louisiana, and a kick at pig iron to punish Pennsyl vania and Michigan, ;tnd ell the other questions of a more personal nature to )iis royal highness, who, more than any president who has preceded him, assumes responsibilities foreign to his turtles. Thkv tell this story on A BlulTton adventist who prophesied that the end of the world would come ut a . certain date : "lie put on his ascension robes, climbed to the top of a straw-stack, and waited for the crack of doom. Got ting tired lie fell asleep. Some boys saw the man and touched lighted match to the straw aud awoke him. Casing at the flames on every side he cried out 'In h I, just as I expected.'" When a million persons have beon inducted by a tariff into the trades that fall under the head of brass, glass, sine, tiu, nickle, copper, lead, wood, leather, paper, cotton, and wool, it is gross injustice for the government to come along and ask them all to quit their shops and go to teaobiug school or farming. As a result of the democratic admin istration the public debt is piting up. This is due, not to iucreased expendi tures, for they are less than a year ago, but a falling off in the custom-house receipts, due to the holding back of im ports for lo wer d u ties. Thb English press says that the Wilson tariff bill is "a wise and patri otic measure," which gre.tly honors democratic statesman. They even go to far as to name Wilson as a good choice for president. No wonder they like him. One would suppose from the fre quency of the slaps in the face which the administration gives the demo cratic senators that it had no need of their support Thb Oregonian has received a postal card from G rover Cleveland, saying: "Please tell Governor Pennoyer to at tend to his own business, I will attend to niiue." Thb woolgrowers and wooldealers of San Francisco have taken steps to fight the Wilson tariff bill in congress . "icAPpbosKT" The New Year was ushered in very quietly at our burg. Bad colds akin to la grippe are epi demic at present. Mr. and Mrs. Will White are spend ing a short lime here with relatives aud friends. The roads are in a bad condition. Why not plow and scrape them up in the spring? A. Barber's bouse was entered the other day and something over a hund dred cold dollars stolen. No clue. Several of our young people bravtd the elements and went overland to the New Year ball at St. Helens. D. C. Schtll and wife have been visiting relatives here for the past week, and returned home to Albany Saturday. The entertainment and supper at the church on the 29tb, was a com plete success. Big and little had a splendid time until a late hour. In justice to Mr. A. Stump it should be stated that he was in no way con nected with the McKay-Sunderla.id trouble on the Steamer Kehani, as staled in last week's Mist. The all-round improvements in The Mist of late, are noticed by all. Everyone should lend a hand to help the home paper for such a paper 18 a necessity as well as luxnry. DEER ISLAND. Hon. Norman Merrill and family were viiii ting here during the holidays. Herman Reitner has completed a good , strong bridge across Merrill crack, near his mill. W. D. Connell is bnilding a new barn 30x00 feet, including sheds all around for stock. No one can say hut what this is beautiful winter weather, although we have consider able rain. Swan Nelson and wife, of Woodland, Wash., spent New Year with Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Merrill. There appeared an item in your jonrnal a week or two ago which called the open expression of about all who came within our knowledge of "That beats the devil." Tkere are ways for people to get notoriety. The railroad company had the section foreman place cross-boards about sixty feet each way from all railroad giade crossings, so in running the snowplow over the track they can tell where thecrouings are, thus leaving the planks down all winter. Road Hunervinor E. Merrill made a thor ough inspection of the old county bridge across Merrill lake last week, and found il iu such a rotten condition that it is unsafe for a doe to cross. He will report his find ing to tbe county com t this week, and it is expected they will do something for the safety of life and property. JMAYGEK. 8. H. Trvon, oar efficient M.
