The branch asylum wMeu was to

ley lias been enjoined by Polk
county people across the river from
Salem. Ever since the legislature
provided for building the branch
asylum In Euttteru Oregon there
have been threats of this injunct
ion. It will delay the building of
the asylum aud may be the means
of preventing ltd construction alto

with the condition of a flairs know
differently. Salem eaunot allbid
to be so impolitic as to hike such a
Bte(. There is enough prejudice
against Salem at the present time,
in all parts of the state, without
arousing more, and her people are
in no wise unfriendly to the con
struction of the brunch asylum in
Ijtstei n Oregou.
According to tho above Polk
county must stand the odium ol
that injunction. Residents of 1'olk
county do you know what it
means! It means the united oppo

When we hear the statements of
our populist speakers on minuet
we wonder where they 'get their
authority for some of their figures.
As au example: L. W. liohertaon
said that in 1.M.7 there were $2,000,
000 U. S. greenbacks in circulation.
The United States treasury report,
which should be good authority,
says the total circulation of paper
money iu was only f 7l).1,'JK),
612, of which only $.'171,7S;$,5!)7
was greenbacks. Mr. Embree, at
Monmouth, stated that France has
S00, 000, 000 gold, $700,000,000 sil
ver, and f 1,000,000 in paper money.
The World almanac, a democratic
authority, says France has only
$81, 402,000 in uncovered paper.
L. W. Robertson said silver, in
England, is a full legal tender, and
the above authority says England
has no full legal tender silver, and
only $100,000,000 of limited legal
tender Bilver.

It is found by investigation thai
the meat markets in the large citii
of the United Stales are selling only
from two thirds to three-fourths as
much meat as usual. This means
an immense decrease in the aggre
gate consumption of meat as a re
suit of the hard times. Rural
North went.
Yes, aud when the wages of our
American workmen get down to
tho foreitrn wairea, they must live
- without meat, as they do.
A democrat, in Independence,
who depends on his labor for a liv
ing, says he has not had any work
since hop-picking time, and then at
25 per cent less wages than form
erly. The only question is will lu
still vote the democratic ticket, or
will he use his vote to return pros
perityt , '
The republican party should
allow no side issues to cause it to
leave for one moment its unswerv
ing devotion to the cause of protec
tion.
What is congress doing! asks a
reader. Congress is doing nothing
and seem to be incapable of know
Ing what to do.
FREE TRADE WAGES.
V'ry many nir:n in these United
States do not realize that tliere is a
vast difference' in Hie wages here
and in other countri. In fact
they cannot be made to believe
that a laborer could live on much
less than they are receiving, and
board themselves. To serve as a
comparison let us take a few lines
of labor and make a comparison.
