The fact that James G. Blaine predicted the exact condition of things now prevailing in this country, and as accurately showed the causes which would lead op to it, is re called by the Toledo Blade. Read the words of the greatest of the lalter-day American statesmen, and see how clearly the drift of vents indicated to him the evils that were to come: " I love my country and my countrymen. I am an American, and I rejoice every day that I am. I enjoy the general prosperity of my country, and kpow that the working. men of this land are the best paid, the best fed, and the best clothed ol any laborers on the face of the earth. Many of them have homes of their own. They are surrounded by all the comforts and many of the luxu . Ties of life. "I shudder, however, at the thought that the time must come when all this will be changed, when the general prosrity of the country will be destroyed, when the great body ol workingmen in this land, who re now so prosperous, will hear their wives and children cry for bread ; that the day must come when the great factories and manufactories of this land will shut down, and where there's now life and activity there will be the silence of the tomb. " And the reason why this must be is this: The great southern wing of the democratic party are determined to establish the doc trine of free trade in this land. They will be assisted by their northern allies. There is great body of visionary but educated men, who are employed daily in writing free trade essays and arguments in favor of the doctrine, which find their way to every newspaper in the land. Tiie great body of our people have never experienced, them selves, the sufferings which always result when the protective principles are laid aside. " Poisoned and excited by the wild state ments of these writers and the demagogic appesls of the democratic speakers, the re sult will be that in the very near future these forces which are now working will be strong enough to defeat at the polls the party advocating the doctrine of protection. It must inevitably follow that uncertainty and doubt will ensue. The business men of the country, fearing the destruction, will decline to engage in business, consequently mills will have to shut down and the work ingment will be thrown outof employment, "The people will then see, as they have not seen before, that they can't be prosper ous and have work while this principle is threatened, in the midst of theirsufferings they will learn that the only way they can be prosperous and happy is to vote for the parly that has built up the industries by which they have gained a livelihood; be cause they will then see clearly that when the manufactory is shut down there is no demand for the only thing which they have to sell, and that is their labor.'' power for gixnl in loss HpuIous precincts, audit will grow amaningly. With this be ginning a president and secretary may be chosen, and correspondence opened with the Young Men's Sinte UepuMican club at Portland, which body will cheerfully for ward all necessary information, including hints for a constitution and by laws, vie. Every voting precinct should have Us club, that its inllucnce for good may be doubled. Each of them should form a republican club and get in touch with the great move ment of the times, w hich is organising to defeat incompetent democratic rule and re store prosperous government The dis patches yesterday say that in New Hamp shire the trend of public opinion is even (wing shown In town elections, some or the towns w hich have been democratic for years swinging into the republican column. This is right. Wherever there is a chance to show disapprobation of democratic meth ods let it be done, and even the smallest precinct is not too humble to exhibit the proper spirit. The first step toward this end is organisation. Manx of the people's party men of this county w ho wished to see Will H. Walker nominated for the reason that they believe him to be capable to (ill the ottice in an acceptable manner and thoroughly honest, are criticising the query of the chairman of the convention who asked ostensibly for information if Mr. Walker did not run be hind his ticket two years ago. To this ques tion do tliey attribute Mr. Walker's defeat and the utter lack of recognition which was accorded Clackamas county on the state ticket. As Mr. Walker was within two votes of Judge Boise on the first ballot it is, they say, not out of place to conclude that Accokiuno to the West Side it is a curious fact that our populist orators show that hard times existed under free trade for the past hundred years, but say it was caused by a svaivily of money In each and every case. The treasury remrts show no great change in the per capita of circulation be tween free trade and protective tariff, ex cept that it Is steadily increasing each year, hut in one case it shows it to have lulu Idle in the banks, while in the oilier it wus be ing paid out to our people in good wages, tiive our Idle mm work, and when the wheels begin to turn scarcity of money will not be so prominent. OKtiANir.ATioN of republican clubs to work during the coming campaign is of the ut most imiHirtance, since through orgnnlxed effort much more may be accomplished than by individual action. Republicans have a cause worthy of their best efforts, since they are committed to such a policy of administration as will best inure to the renewal of business prosperity. Clackamas county has already a goodly number of live clubs which are doing good work, but the places most needing organisation and speakers are those rural communities far back from the tow ns and railroads. These should not be neglected either at this time or subsequent to the meeting of the cotv vention. The key note to success this year is organization. the question coming from the chairman of the convention, and from a man in Mr. Walker's own county, was sufficient to de feat his candidacy. It his been hinted that the chairman was in sympathy with the machine gang who put up the trades in the convention. Be Ibis as it mav Clack- mas county, the cradle in which populism was first rocked, was utterly ignored in the formation of the ticket and members of that party can chew their cuds. Hox. Thos. B. Rkkd, in a recent speech, gives bis reasons why times are hard. He said: "There is no way to put money in circulation except through wages paid. Issuing government bonds doesn't make circulation. The laborers must earn and spend it, and that will make it Hush. The statisticians say the 20,000,()0 laboring peo ple in this country earn w hen they are at work from $30,000,000 to $40.1X10,000 a day. The Wilson tariff bill will cut these wages from 10 to 25 per cent The 10 per cent cut amounts to HOOO.000 a day to laboring men, or $l,2OO,U00,0OO in a year. A twenty five per cent cut in wages will take $.1,000,- 000,000 out of circulation. One-third of our labor is idle now. The idleness is costing as probably 10,CO0,OnO a day. I do not wonder that the times are bard and that money is tight There is money enough in the banks. They are glutted, but labor isn't getting it It will slay there till labor gets it out." Rki'i bi icas who desire to have the slnte government administered in a safe and fconoinic manner w ill lind none of the can didntes mentioned in connection with the otllce of governor so well calculated to se cure wise, conservative and economic ad- ' ministration nf the hiiti,a it tit .tutu m John T. Apperson ol this county. While not penurious he is careful, upright and fully aware of the importance to the eople of having every exienliture watched with the closest scrutiny so that not a dollar of the people's money would go out without a full return for value received. Tin Newburg Graphic says: Une can very easily get a few lessons in roadmaklng 'without a master" by taking a trip nut in any direction from town. You will Invari ably find that where the water has been al lowed to accumulate in pools at the side of the road, there you will find the most mud holes, and where the water is conducted off rapidly there the roads are best. Prainage and gravel are the two things essential to good roads, and while either will prove ben eficial, both must be had to secure the best results. Tin Eugene Guard sizes up the populist candidate for supreme judge as follows: R. P. Boise, people's party nominee for su preme judge, is an old party hack who held office under the republicans for the greater part of his lifetime after arriving at his majority. Beaten for a renomination two years ago, he drifts into the people's party. Anything for office. That f.'LVIO a year would be very accepteble for this prac tical politician.

There are over two hundred persons in this house, counting sinners and saints, crooked and straight, big and little, male and female, not including the cry babies. If each per son here tbinks my sermon worth a glass of beer or a nickle cigar, five red tenth parts of a dime, let Ihem pay that amount. If each pay a nickle it will make a total of ten dollars this evening. This repeated every week would pay my salary. A sermon that isn't worth a nickle isn't worth coining to hear, and the person that will beat the Lord, the preacher or the printer, is a goat of the most odorferous kind.1' Tut death of Louis Kossuth removes a prominent figure, who since 1H.12 had Iden- I tilled himself with governmental reform land the cause of freedom from tyranny. His ; was an eventful and honored life which will not fail to live long after his ashes are laid to rest. J Tin Marion county democrats seemed lo j have ignored the brethren in this end of the joint sena'orial district, since they have nominated Geo. K. Allen for joint senator. The Portland Tomahawk gives this in formation anent the populist division in Multnomah: Another populist paper bas sprung into existance in this city. The Leader made its appearance on Thursday, March 1st, with Rev. Joe Waldrop as editor. There are now two journals in this city de voted to the principles of the Omaha plat form. The People s Party Post a resuscita tion of the Farmer's Journal ; has been tmb lished for the past mouth. The two fight each other more bitterly than the news papers of the old parties. There are two wings of the new party. One is for Gov' rnor Pennoyer and the other is against liim. And these factions are represented by the two organs. How much longer the squabble is to continue cannot be learned. However, it is certain that one or the other must succomb before the party can perfect an organization in (bis county. But this is the history of all movements based on wind and enthusiasm. Personal interests gain the upper band just as soon as there is the slightest chance of success. An exchange notes that a practice com mon to country postoflices, is for persons whobave lock boxes to try tbeir keys in other person's boxes, to see if it will (it or if the box is lockd. Very lew know that by doing this they lay themselves liable to prosecution and fine. This act is a viola tion of "Uncle Barn's" postal law, and Is punishable as such. A case occured re cently where valuable mail was taken from a box at a postoflice by parties unknown. A young man was arrested for the theft, and although tbe crime could not be proven it was shown that he was in the habit of opening boxes without permission, and he wa-i fined $.'100 and given one year in the penitaatiary. rKKSS C0MMKNT. The Dalles Chronicle gets at the root of the matter when it urges organization as follows: "The Chronicle wishes once again to urge a matter it bas many times previ ously urged the formation of republican clubs in every precinct in the county. A thorough organization throughout the .county by those who believe in republican crinciples will be a source of vast benefit. There is no discouragement in small num fcers. A club of half dozen will become a Jddoe McBkidk, if be has not already done so will probably resign without further delay as soon as he bas completed a peru sal of these concluding lines of an article in tbe Pacific Journal against a recent deci sion made by the judge in a fishing case. "We may remark" says the Journal, "'for the benefit of the Oregon jurist, that this law has been held constitutional by a judge whom is as learned, if not the equal, of the Oregon judge, and his name is Judge Lang horne." filiould tbe article from which the above is taken come before the supreme court no further argument would be required to get a reversal. A rew days ago, according to Etchings In the Chronicle, I met a good democrat who exclaimed with fervor, "don't this beat V" " No, it doesn't said 1, " It beats you and helps . But I have one satisfaction you can't have; 1 did not' vote for it and you did." He looked at me queerly tor an in stant, and said, "Well, I never thought of it that way before. I'll never vote for it again myself." That man will be carrying a republican torch during the next cam paign, and will wear out bis lungs trying to shout louder than he did one night two years ago when, with a rooster on bis hat, he paraded the streets with a crowd of luna tics, and shouted himself hoarse over the election of Cleveland and tbe beginning of his own linanciai ruin. Post Chronicle; The Oregon City Enter prise names Cait. J. T. Apperson for gov ernor. Every paper in the state is putting forth good men and it will not be hard to make a selection wben the time conies. Statesman : Let the state republican con vention pass a resolution to abolish all the commissions and then nominate men who will stand by this plank of the platform. Reporter: It Is telegraphed from Wash ington that 0. N. Denny, who was there last week consulting the Oregon delegation, has decided to let his name go into the list as a candidate for governor. Present indications are that Denny and Apperson will divide the Yamhill delegation as prime favorites Eugene Guard: The people's party has al' reudy fallen into the bands ol politicians and time-servers. Alter months of agitation in favor of free coinage of silver, and Inci dentally tariff reform, neither Is mentioned in the plutlorm adopted at Oregon City Tbe people will not trust power to a party that thus, almost at the outset of its career, ignores the most important principles 011 which it was founded. Time-serving and political expediency never were successful. Astoria Herald: The populists at their state convention adopted a platform In which they provide that mortgages shall be taxed, but no mortgage shall be foreclosed for two years, and shall not be sold unless It brings 80 per cent of its value; no attorney fees are to be charged. Just how much money a man can borrow on a scheme like that can be best ascertained by conversing with men that loan money, A more fool' ish and absurd proposition could not have emanated outside ti e brain of a crazy popu list.
