Would turn their energies to reducing the

principles be applied to the management of
...).!... afraiMfii TilYIIMAIIIllMnAlir.
The above may be the democratic
doctrine, bat it hardly meets the re
quirement of the times. Would it
not be better to raise- more revenue
and at the same time curtail the car
rent running expenses of the adminis
trative machinery as much as possi
ble T Oar con tempore ry seems to have
forgotten that it was the democratic
"tariff tinkerers" of the Wilson, Qur-
man and Brice school that brought
the present calamity upon the country,
and reduced it from a state of pros
verity to want and poverty.
But. says the Times-Mountaineer,
"In dull times managers of private en
terprises cut down expenses by re
ducing the number of their employes."
Exactly so, but no employer ever re
duces bis fcroe so long as he has work
for them to do at a profit. But bow
it a country to prosppr without era
ployment for its people T In the ease
above referred to the employes are the
ones who suffer, because their em
ployer, by the act of the democratic
"tariff tinkerers," has not the market
for his goods that be formerly enjoyed
under a protective tana, an J conse
quently his force of workmen must, of
necessity, not only be reduced numer
icallv, but those who remain are obliged
to work for lees wages than before, or,
tierbana the factorv forced to suspend
business altogether; and to ca,p the
climax the foreign manufacturer.
whose goods being placed in competi
tion, duty free, with those of the home
manufacturer, deprives the govern
ment of the revenue which otherwise
would accrue from that source, and at
the same time discriminates against
oar mechanics and tradesmen and
gives the employment to people of an
other country.
Hence foreign goods made with
cheap labor enter this country free of
duty, by reason of which oar factories
are forced to suspend business; by
reason of which our workmen are
thrown out of employment, and by the
whole of which the government does
not receive sufficient revenue for cur
rent running expenses, no matter how
economically administered.
JACKSON AND CLEVELAND.
The democratic convention which
nominated Grover Cleveland for presi
dent reasserted its adherence to the
doctrine of Andrew Jackson, a thing
always probable from that kind of a
convention. But Jet us see now tne
doctrine of the two great democratic
leaders harmonize. Jackson was a
protectionist, in fact it was during bis
administration that a tariff bill was
passed increasing the duty from 33J
to 40 per cent., and what was the re
sult In a short time the government
had sn immense surplus; indeed so
fast did the surplus increase that the
statesmanship of the nation was put
to the test of devising ways and means
for decreasing it, and at one time
thousands of dollars of this surplus
was distributed pro rata among the
slates. Business was good in every
channel and the country prospered as
it never had before, which demon
strated anew that the idea of protect
ing American industries and laying
duties on imports was a substantial
and safe nolicv for this republic.
What do we find to be the policy of
the democratic president of today T
During Mr. Cleveland's former term
the country was again agitated over
the question as to how to dispose of
the immense surplus which bad and
was sccumulating under republican
tariff laws which bad been in effect some
years. The president recommended
free trade, or tariff reform, but the
senate being republican declined to
pass the Mills bill, and consequently
prosperity continued.
The next national election again
placed a republican, Harrison, iu the
White House, and also gave to that
party both branches of congress. So
loud were the demands at this time
for a revision of the tariff laws that the
McKinley law was enacted, reducing
the rate of duty on many articles of
necessary consumption and increasing
the rate, generally, on luxuries, and
nrosoentr still reigned supreme.
But this increased taxation of lux
uries did not suit the wealthier classes
and in the national campaign of 1892
the McKinley law was misinterpreted
from almost every rostrum and Mr.
Cleveland was again elected president
on a tanff-forrevenue-only platform.
The democrats also secured control of
both branches of congress. President
Cleveland recommended a tariff for
revenue only law with free raw ma
terial. The Wilson bill, therefore, was
framed, and passed by the house but
when it reached the senate the "free
raw material" clause was stricken out.
For this action the president refused
to sign the bill bat permitted it to be
come a law without bis signature.
In leas than one year thereafter, in
stead of an overflowing treasury left
by bis republican predecessor, Mr.
Cleveland found it necessary to neg
tiate the sale of bonds to defray the
running expenses of the government
and to maintain the gold reserve, de
pression and business failures ran
rampant in all parts oi the United
States, and instead of devising ways
to dispose of a surplus the humiliating
scene of wrestling with a deficit was
witnessed by all. Bon-1 issues have
taken place at intervals ever since,
wrestling with the deficit still goes on;
yet the administration refuses to
change its policy.
To liken the democratic party of
today with the party of Jackson is like
comparing the climate of Dakota with
that of Florida.
In glancing over the pages of that
model trade journal, the New England
Grocer, of Boston, the efforts pot forth
by the proprietors of the different
brands of food products are conspicu
ously displayed on every page, stys
the Astoria Budget. Why are not the
popular brands of Columbia river sal
mon set forth T Are the cannerymen
making all the money they waul, or
are they content to allow - the Alaska
and other outside fish to supplant their
trade? Uuless they (the Columbia
river cannerymen) wake up, they will
find that their more energeiio com
petitors have elbowed themselves into
the supposed impregnable position so
long held by them. A business in
this age which don't need the use of
printer's ink, judiciously applied, to
extend and keep its merits before its
customers is a nine day's wonder.
Ik the closing month of 1S12 a Brit
ish force of about 1200 men, with 200
Indians in addition, marched upon
the town of Buffalo, N. Y and cap
tured it after fifty of its American de
fenders were killed. The settlement
was then burned, with the exception
of one residence and a blacksmith
shop. Buffalo is now a city with over
300,000 iubabitanta. while the towns
on the Canadian side of the river have
grown but little. The village that was
wiped out oz years sgo could furmsb
a large army if an emergency would
require it
A exact definition of international
law has been in request since Lord
Salisbury declared that it does not in
clude the Monroe doctrine. In a let
ter to the London "Saturday Review,'
Prof. Gold win Smith, the Canadian
writer, supplies one of these words:
"International law is a law without a
legislature, without a policeman, with
out a judge. Its highest court of ap
peal is the cannon." As long as the
United States backs it up the Monroe
doctrine will be as good international
law as any.
Chiha is unfortunate. It can neither
fight nor make the European powers
jealous of each other. The result is
that England, France and Bnssia are
carving it up without the slightest
ceremony. If China kills a single
Christian, indemnity is promptly ex
acted. The sultan, on the other hand,
murders Christains by the thousand,
and yet feels perfectly secure as the
pampered pet of Europe.
It seems that the Multnomah dele
gation are about the only members of
the late lamented legislature who are
anxious for an extra session of that
body. Multnomah county must have
accumulated another batch of "jobs"
tbat the manipulators are desirous of
having become laws. However, it
seems hardly probable that an extra
session will be called at this time.
Ehglakd has added ships so rapidly
to her navy tbat the supply of sailors
has run short. When the Magnifi
cent and Majestic were put into com
mission recently, crews were taken
from other ships, which will now be
manned with inexperienced seamen.
The political complications in Can
ada are not likely to strengthen the
ties between that country and Great
Britain, bat are most likely to some
what strengthen the sentiment in favor
of annexation to the United States.
Every city should have a health or
dinance. It would prove of great ben
efit in case of contageous diseases, and
not an expensive ordinance to main
tain. Why not prepare for emergen
cies in this particular.
As a matter of occupation on the
side, England will reach this year for
the continent around the south pole.
If there is such a place as Antartica
the British flag will go up over it, and
don't forget it.
Campos offered $34 apiece for all
horses in Cuba, with the view, it is
said of mounting his infantry. The
effectiveness of an infantrymsn on
horseback is at least greater than that
of a sailor.
Canada's trade with the Unite1
States last year was greater than witl
Great Britain. Canadian imports from
the latter fell off $7,500,000 and from ,
the United States increased $1,500,000.
VERNONIA VARIETIES.
Vishohia, Jan. 16. The young people
bad a dance at Webster's ball after tbe pop
ulist club meeting Saturday night. Music
was furnished by Messrs. Adams and Nick-
erson and Misses Besseman and Allen.
Some one is liable to get Into trouble if
the cases of dog poisoning continue. Tbe
last case was a fine bound owned by Beube
Seaseman. There is some excuse for
farmer who has sheep, to shoot strange dogs
if they come snooping around, and there
is a legel way to pnt a stop to dogs which
are let loose to run deer, but there is no ex-
case for the sneaking scoundrel who throws
poisoned meat to a dog that is tied up in
bis master's yard. In many cases valuable
cattle dogs, which are not allowed off tbe
farm, bave been poisoned by these parties
who are either insane or unfit to run at
large.
A literary society wss organized Tuesday
night which promises to be a grand success
A meeting of tbe society will be held every
Friday evening at Zillgitt's hall. At tbe
last meeting a very interesting programme
was rendered. Especially entertaining was
tbe talk by Prof. Dow. on "How to make
the literary society a success," and tbe se
lect reading by L. W. TaaDyke. A feature
was an extemporaneous speech by T. J.
Brink, subject given bim by tbe chair after
be took tbe floor. This will be passed
around.

Tallabussss, Fla Jan. lA Sensational
stories are afloat here tonight. Governor
Mitchell, at tbe request of the war depart.
men! In Washington, has ordered Adjutant-General
Houston to see that the Klor
ida military be placed In, readiness to take
the field at a moment's notlca. The gov
ernor, it is reported, will call the militia
together tomorrow. In tbe meantima, the
adjutant-general la quietly issuing orders.
Similar requests, it is reported, bave been
sent to the governors of other Southern
states. The story bas become generally
known and is causing exciuaieut through
out the South.
Governor Mitchell and Adjutant-General
Houston were asked In regard to It, but
they refused to talk. General Houston
bas been In bis office all day, and has sent
telegrams to all battalion commanders in
the state. Majr Turner, of Jacksonville,
ooramandliig the First Florida battalion,
baa received several messages from Gen
era Houston. The battalion commanders
at Tampa and Tensacola have alto received
messages from General Houston duriug tbe
day.
It Is stated. as coming from the executive
office, that the Washington authorities have
reason to believe that a deal is pending be
tween Spain and England for the sale of
Cuba to the latter; that the United States
is preparing to resist the transfer of lbs
island, and that the flying squadron is
coming to American waters to be ready for
the war with the United States, which will
inevitably follow au attempted cession of
Cuba.
Dispatches from various cities in Florida
report that the troops are gathering and
that the war fever is higher now than the
day after President Cleveland's Venesuela
message.
Strength of Oregon's Mill tla.
8alsm. Or. Jan. SO. Telegrams reached
tbe governor's office today from Eastern
newspapers asking the strength of the Ore
gon National Guard, and how soon the mi
litia forces eonld be mobilised in case Eng
land shall purchase Cuba. Governor Lord
said tonight: "
"If it la a fact that England has purchased
Cuba, it must be regarded as a menace to
our safety, and furnishes much stronger
reasons for the enforcement of the Monroe
doctrine than the Venezuela case."
Tbe governor is not averse to war. Tbe
adjutant-general being absent, the governor
telegraphed to General Iteebe, who ans
wered:
"About 1600 men, Including two batter
ies, can be rendezvoused in Portland within
43 hours."
POINTED AND PERTINENT.
It would not hurt the republican party to
have a Tom Reed in tbe senate for a while.
Perhaps the senate will manage to get
tbat Monroe doctrine through befote it gets
aeaaiocaea.
The failure of the qneen of Korea to stay
dead may result in seriously complicating
luuiern anaars.
France is not doing any hurrahing over
the recoaciUiadon between the Kaiser and
his grandmother.
Old man Gladstone displayed his good
sense by refusing to talk when be lacks the
power to back bis opinions.
Why doesn't Mr. Cleveland Invite Jos
Pulitzer and Charlie Dana to eat a reconcil-
liation dinner at the White bouse.
Sarah Bembart can give most of her
younger sisters lessons in tbe art of acting
as well aa In tbe getting ot tree advertising.
Washington has lately spent a great deal
of time upon skates. Perhaps that may
account for some of tbe congressional news.
Maybe there is no understanding betweei
Mr. Cleveland and the Morgan bond syn
dicate, and maybe there la. It'a a ten to
one shot thst the syndicate gets lota of
tnose oouos anyway.
Now tbat our sympathy for ths poor Ar
menians is, in some cases, being accompan
ied by cash contributions, there is reason
to how thst some practical good will be
aone in spite oi ine sultan.
It is evident that some republican sen
tors are counting too much upon tbe cinch
the party bas upon tbis year's national elec-
uon. l ne people want toe repuDiican party
returned to power because it baa always
been known as the party ot action, not ot
Obstruction.
It now appears thst Mr. Cleveland hss
become jealous of the Olney boom for tbe
democratic nomination, and bas instructed
lends to throw cold water on It br
daring that tbe late Secretary uresbsm,
and not sir. Ulnev. originated tne Vene
zuela policy.
If a man insnlted another and tben as
soon as the other fellow showed fight, should
say: "Oh I I insulted yon during a mo
ment oi irritation, which nas now passed."
what would usually be tbe result T That is
the manner in which tbe German Emperor
explains his insult to fengiana.
Senators would better do something to
wards increasing the revenue of tbe govern
ment, or else do less talking about increas
ing tbe navy. I be navy can t M increased
without money. Let the aenate pass the
House taritr bill, which would add 140.000,
00 a year to our revenue, then it might be
n order to spend some more money on our
navy.
