FRIDAY, NOVEMBER IS, IWX tlAUEOAD TO rMIJS CITY Someone writing to the Mon mouth Tribune brings up the Iu dependence and Falls City railroad question, mid says the West 8uk, u year ago, was strongly iu favor of such road, but during the past year bad said very little about it, aiulthe writer favors the two pa pers taking up the question and systematically educating the public. It is true the VTkst 8idk favored a. railroad to tall timber, and what is more, the proprietor of the pa per spent time and money iu try im? to eet somethimr doue. We feel sure that 100 would uot reiut burse us for our delay. What re turn did we receive! e were criticised by our own people, and also bv those at Pallas. As fur as we eau see,our efforts were worse than wasted. In spite of tbsse discouragements we have not become convinced that the cause is a hopeless one, and we are willinc to work for a railroad to Falls City, or some other point iu the timlier, provided the peopU Mill work with us. and the whole community help pay the bills. In dependence, Monmouth, and Fulls City should work as a uuit It uu organization lie effected in these three towns, having us its.ubjee the building of a railroad. Let committee be appoiuted from each town organization, and let the com mittee meet, first iu Independence, next in Monmouth, and last in Falls City. Let the ieople of each town, iu public meeting, appear lie- fore the committee, and express their views ou what is wanted, and how badlv it is wanted. Let the expenses of this committee be paid foi- out of funds from the three towns. When the committee has obtained the uecessary information and knows just what help the peo pie can afford and will give, then the writer of this article is prepared to place before the committee the names of men of capital w ho will agree, on certain conditions, to build such a road. We feel confident tuat if we were to devote our time in canvassing among those interested, for thirty days, we could interest capital. But why should any one individual do thist It is a com mutiny s Interest. lne persons who will get the greatest benefit are such men as Mr. Henry Hill, Polk County land couipauy, and others at Independence; Judge Butler, J. B. V. Butler, and others at Mou mouth; and the Falls City laud company at Falls City; and even John Burns on the Luckiamute. If these interested parties do uot want to do the work, let them at least help pay the expenses by belong ing to a trade organization which can accomplish the result. It is the only effectual method of working. Nothing is so discouraging to those who wish deserving enterprises started, to have those who will In most benefited stand buck with hands folded, and let those who will not be benefited one dollar to their ten, do the work and pay the bills. During the two years Independence i had a board of trade, these mat ters were handled systematically, ami, to each member, very cheaply. Without some unity of action, no great success may be expected. The principleof protective tariff was believed by the republican par ty to be for the benefit of the labor ing man. The recent defeat of the republican party by a vote cast by those same men whom it desired to protect, means that either the labor ing man is mistaken, or else the re publican party is mistaken. We know the republican party was honest in its desire to make the lot of the laboring man easier. When he voted against protection, and in favor of tan It tor revenue, we believe he voted thus because he believed it would better his eondi tion. We do not agree with him in the premises,' but we want the democratic party to carry out ils promises. We do not believe the rfioTiinnratic tiattv is working to nnake labor free. The democratic ..nrrv in dominated now, and has iieen, by the South, and it does not ook reasonable that that party should desire to place the labor of the men who do the work in the South on a par with the landed pro prietor, and yet i't was the labor vote that has given control of the government to the democratic par ty, and it will be the labor vote that will have to be appeased. II tariff for revenue is a good thing,let Tib have it, aud have it at once. Tariff for protection may have been a mistake, nut taint mr revenue is a greater one, If tariff for protec tion Ls wrong, then all tariff is wrong, and this paper will come out fair and square for five trade, pure and simple, Not free trade 'between nations alone, or between states alone, but between indi viduals. If the party that advo cated protection mi vehemeiilly finds it Is mistaken, it will join the party Jthat favors alisolute five trade in merchandise and lands also. That party will not be the demo crat le party. It may lie the people's party, but up to the present time that party is not titteto its couvlo tions, and a party will arise in ml vance aud beyond that, party, tin less it advances, which will grad ually educate the people te see that the true haven for the laboring man is iu free trade, absolute and unimpaired no taxes of any kind. Labor to work with cnpital,aud uot against it. No such thing as mou oply in the land. The democratic party will never go that far in up lifting the laboring man, but per hai the newly-Hedged, and uu hampered people's party may. If it shall, then It will numlicr iu its ranks those republicans who wert true republicans, and desired the tailoring mau to receive the reward for his lalHir. Ounoosund Washington need have no fear of the results of the democratic tariff for revenue prin ciples, if that party will but keej its promises. While tariff for rev enue offers no advantages to the woikingman, us a woi kinguiau, does oiler many advantages to the jteople of Oregon aud Washing ton. I ant! tor revenue will ojwn our pods to the products of the world and it will compel us to de pend upon the markets of the world for the sale of onr product. The effect wilt he to stimulate shi building, and our immense forests and our deposits of irou will lie used in building those ships. Uu der protective policy our foreign trade was but a small item com pared to our home trade; but when our ports are open to foreign trade it will demand our home-built tdiiw siid thousand of men will be soon busy on Pugot Sound, aud along the Columbia river preparing the materials for the building of those sliipH. There will be an era activity in mat line such as our country has never seen. We, the producing class of Oregon, will supply that producing das.. of an oiner kiuu in v Hsiuugion; our products will lie in demand mid prices will lie good, Laud will in crease in value. Hut, in.u k yon readier, when the rush of this work is over the condition of the lalwr ing man win tie worse titan ever, Labor is the source of all wealth and when the laltoring population see their condition, as they itivila bly will, then will come the great battle of this nineteenth century. .Shitll it be free trade, free mauu facturers, free lands, no taxes; or a return to protective tariff! Nothing excite the ire of democrat in Polk county so iniicli as to hear republicans license them of not keeping their promise. If they believed their party intended bringing about tariff for revenue, they would not get angry when ac cased of belonging to a party which dare not, or will not carry out its principles, if the democratic parly does not repeal the protective fea tures of the McKiuley bill, it will not be fulfilling its promises to the people, and is doomed. If it doer carry them out, if may have an ex islence of a few years or so; but ill tiinately it will be overthrown by the very people who placed it iu power at I his election, viz: the la boring man. The republican parly is really in hopes that the demo crutie party will do iiothinji, and then in four years it will be de throned. If it carries out its policy of tariff for revenue, it will take longer to see, ils effect, but the re sult will be the sumo. MIiam. we have a Isiard of trade re-organ i zed, or shall we simply drift along and let our business suf fer through lack of attention! It was iu the last meeting of the board of trade, that the movement for im proving the roads leading into town started. It was there that the threatened discontinuance of a daily mail to Lcwisville was dis cussed and after an investigation of the benefits it was found that those along the line of this route were almost unanimous in the requst to have it continued. Citizens of In dependence if you are called upon to join such an organization do not hesitate and quibble over it but add your name to the list. If you do not attend the meetings you can at least help the good cause by pay ing dues which are only three dol lars a year. W K thoroughly belive the re publican party was honest in ils desire to benefit the woi kingman, and that the protective tariff was an honest effort in that direction. The republican party has not been a party of promises but one of achievements. It promised the workingnian, the laborer, the inim who makes a living by the skill of his hands or his, brain, protection, audit carried out that promise. It Is a party to be trusted. Wo are proud of the record of the republi can paity, and the party that shall emancipate the laUiriug man from the bond uge of the monopolist will be composed of men which are true to their principles like the republican parly has ten. Thr Whht Side will take no sides tn the coming city election, from a pni'tisaiistiindpoint, but will use its tnlliieiice towards having the very licet men for the offices, Irrespective of party. Heretofore our city elections have generally lioeu uo more than a ratification of the convention, and uo choice was given the voter at the polls. W.UIKS IX Fl KOl'K. Orrgiitilnn.l J. I).

And further, on account of said d ismdu tion, they are compelled to nixH-tfully rail on all parties who are in any way indebted to them to . make an early sett lenient They seldom make an appeal through the inm for money, aud they trust the public will understand and appreciate the situation, and , respoud promptly in this matter.
