FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, vm. QRBKTIXG. Friends and reader of the W kst Bidr, I mu with you once again. I could find no place bo good m in dpndeuoe and Polk count; Without a comparison, it is hard to believe that there chu bo such a difference in the clu of people that are found in some part of Or tarou and Waabinirton, and Uuwe found in Polk county. Here you meet contented, happy, intelligent men and women, respected them elm and respected of others. Hera life is worth the living. Al though the toil may be hard which results in obtaining a competence, vet life under the circumstance surrounding it, in this favored pnrt of Oreiroo.ta worth the livitic You are blessed, people of Polk county, with a fertile soil, delightful cli mate, superior educational and re ligious advantages, and you should be happy. If you are not then we do not know where to suggest a place for you. . . The course of this paper will be .closely watched by many observer who have growu accustomed to its style while under the able manage ment of our predecessor. They will naturally ask what changes will be made. However, we ask you to read its columns and see for your self. In the first place, it will be a local newspaper. It will contain the local happenings of each day justs as correctly and inlouUly chronicled as we cau poaalhly ob tain the tacts. It will not be a partisan paper, although it will have a leaning teu denoy toward certain settled opin ions of its editor. We believe one of the principal advantages of a local paper is to defend its patrons, and readers, and the community In which it exists, against unjust and malicious slan der from rival papers, and the West Side will have its war paint ready to defend its people but we are not aggressive, and if let alone will not provoke any quarrel. ,,. We are better convinced thau ever of the bright future in store for Independence, and Monmouth, and Dallas, and Falls City, and, in met, all of Polk county. We shall take occasion time and again to impress upon the people of Polk county that they are living in a favored section of Oregon and re a cultured and intelligent peo ple; and while this may seem to you like flattery, we mean, it every word, and shall prove the truth of our assertions. We trust we may receive a lib eral share of the patronage accord ed our predecessors, J. It. N. Bell ft Son, and find many added sources of revenue to eke out an existence among you, striving to elevate and keep in tone with this people. Yours respectfully, E. C. Pe.vti.and. POLITICAL COM It INKS In all the states where the Peo pie's party has a good following and the Democrats are in a minor ity, the latter are doing their bent to combine with the former, for the purpose of carrying those states for Weaver, and thus taking their electoral votes away from Harri son. The object of this is to throw the election into the house of rep resentatives, where the Demo jrats have a very large and worthless majority, and thus secure the elec tion of Cleveland. While the Peo ple's party managers are no more anxious to defeat Harrison than they are to defeat Cleveland, they are willing to enter into any com bination that promises them elec toral votes since the more they secure the better will he their standing for future work. In Ala bama, however, the sentiment is different. There the one object is to defeat Cleveland and the regular aristocratic democratic organiza tion through whose gross frauds the People's party claims to have been counted out in the state election. It is now asserted that should Weaver electors be chosen in No veinber they would vote for Harri son in the electoral college, rather than have the election go to the house and Cleveland be chosen. If the People's party can put an end to the election frauds and intimida tion by which the South has so long been held solid for the democracy, it will do a work for which it should receive the gratitude of every loynl citizen, irrespective of party. Pur ification of our elections is of more mportaitee to the nation thau any other issue to Ihj found in the par ty plat forms, and this purulent Ion both the Kcntihtlcan and Peo ple's party demand. For this pur pose the Republican's might will combine with the third party in the South without any saci-tllce ot principle, and vote "a free liallot and a fair count' in spite of the iVmocratlc bugaboo of a force bill, 11 liNXKFirs run rnoDvvKn, It is one of the most persistent assertions of the lVinoerut that the tanner receives no bonellt from the tariff and that the duty on his pro ducts does not give him either a higher price or a better market for them. This ignores entirely the met that the development of great industries in this country, and the growth of large manufacturing cen ters, with their nou producing imp utation, supplies the farmer with a home maiket for his products, us well as creates a demand for a far ereatcr variety. Nine tenths of what our farmers produce is con sumcd in the United routes, Hut for the manufacturing industries, agriculturists would Hud their home market , far .less voracious, and would le coiiiw1IimI to place mow reliance upon growing staples for the foreign marUL ltut passing this phase of the sub ject, let us see if the tariff does not give our producers a better market aud a higher price thau they would have were the Ieinooratlo free trade programme carried out, espe. cially that selfish free-raw mated al scheme of the New Kuglaud manufacturers. The IVmocratio platform demands absolute free trade, aud condemns utterly the principle of protection. To this the iHmioerats of New Knglaud re fuse to subscribe, and demand in their platforms a continuance of protection to their manufacture and a removal of it Iroui (lie pro ducts of the farm, range, forest, aud mine. They insist upon free raw materials, as they are pleased to enll the products upon which the farmer sticutU so much toil and produces at so great expeuse, while still demanding protection for the products of liilnir in their own states. To show how utterly sel fish this is, the Democrats of Con necticut except tobacco from the raw materialn that should be made free, because tobacco is grown in large quantities In that state; yet tolwwco is as much raw material as the wool of Oregon, and thousands of men are engaged in manufactur ing it iu to articles for geuerul con sumption. ' If the tariff did not give them a better price they would not insist upon reUviniug it, and if placing raw materials oil the free list would uot result in lowering the price, they would not make such a stren uous effort to have the tariff re moved. To this sectional spirit Cleveland must Mnder if he entertains Iiojh? of carrying any of those tiiuniifuv luring states. The necessity fordo ing this and assuming au uttitude hostile to the plainest und most im portant declaration of the national Democratic platform, accounts for his delay in issuing his letter of ac ceptance. The delay is good poli tics, m the shorter the time for making the voters acquainted witli the true situation, the better his chances for receiving votos through the ignorance of the voters, it might as well be understood now by the people of Oregon that the election of Cleveland menus the placing of a man iu the White House whose programme is protec tion for the Rast and free trade for the West the complete domination of manufacturers over the produc ers of the country. Absolute free trade the people of Oregon might endure as well as other sections, hut they want none of the onesided protection of Mr. Cleveland ami his Democratic sup porters of New Kuglaud. Kvehv employe of the Wkht Side is a self-constituted reporter, and every item of news w hich our readers may have will be gladly "noted" by our energetic, and faith ful assistants. Ir is a pleasure to be back in Polk county once more, and if our readers are as gl id to have us with them again us we are glad to be with them, our relations during the coming years will bo the most happy. The Wkht Si db is indebted to Win. Wells, of Jluena Vista, for many interesting and valuable notes oh the hop crop of the county. As soon as we get our data in shape we will present some instruct ive statistics for the information of our readers. Governor Pknnoykk has re nounced the Democratic party, ac cording to his speech at Kosoburg last Saturday, lie nas joined ttie People's party, the party of reform and of plenty of money for the peo ple. He said that tue Jtuputiiican policy of protective tariffs was "Ha grantly unjust." Hero is what lie savi about the Democratic policy of tariff for revenue only: Such a tariff would have to be laid exclusively upon articles not produced within the country, for the plain reason that any tariff lev- led uKin auy article produced within the uatlonal domain would to a greater or loss extent afford lucldcutal protection. In this coun try, Uien, a purely revenue tariff would have to lie laid mainly upon tea, collide, sugar, and spices, With the tar 1 It so latd, the price or those articles would be so immeasurably enhanced as to bo a most positive burden upon the poor, if not actual inhibition to them against their use. With this, the most Just sys tem of taxation, everyone can dis cover Its manifest injustice. Under it the tKHir man with a lance family of children, if he uses tea, coffee, and sugar, would lie compelled to puy much more tor ttie support or the government in taxes mau ins millionaire neighbor, who has but hlmse.ll aud wile iu the family, Wit km General Shields was at the (). A. II. Kncampiuent at Washington, he expressed the opinion that the Uulon soldiers would not vote for Cleveland be cause of his repeated vetoes of peu s!on bills. He might also have said that Htcvensou has not en dcared himself to loyal men by his copperhead record during the war. The soldiers cau not forget for what they fought, and they do uot want those old iwuet brought np again by the nomination for office of men who were conspicuous in their uos tllity to the Union cause in the North. If the Democrat have none but such to nominate they would do well to tarry a few years until , the beards of some of the younger men are grown.
