Let Germany and Franc pet thoroughly established within themselves as good ma chinery as England now has, together with ber factory system, and nothing but higher wages in those countries or a tariff in their own will ever save the English peo ple from ruin. I-ord Armstrong knew what he was doing when he esteblished an Eng lish Iron manufactory in Italy with English appliances and Italian labor at half price. No.no; tarill does not make the blind ee, the lame walk, nor does it raise the dead to lite, but it is a good, sound, sensi ble policy lor the United States for its growth in riches and civilization, and if it is stricken down the peope who in their secret hearts will think us the most shortsighted will be the foreigners who profit by our folly. There is still another argument which I desire to present out of the large number yet unused. What has made England rich ? It is the immense profits which come of converting raw material into manufactured goads. She is the buge workshop, doing the most profitable work of the world; Changing material to finished product. So long as she can persuude the rest of the world to engage in the work which is the least profitable and leave her the most en riching she can well be content. Let nie give one item, and the figures shall be furnished by the gentleman from Alabama, who told me in your presence that the value of all the cotton raised in the I". S. was only $.7jn,OCO.O0, while the finished J product of that cotton wbs $I,7.)O,OXi,0i;O. When cotton leaves the field it is worth r?rfl,0nn,0; when it leaves the mill it is worth six times as much. On our own cot ton crop alone we might In time make the profits on a billion and a half of manufac tured goods. Xor is there anything to pre vent such a result in a protective tariff. Some men think indeed, this bill and its author's speeches proceed upon the suppo sition that the first step towards gaining the markets of the world is to give up our own, just as if s fortified army, with enemies on all flanks, should overturn its own breast works as the first preliminary to march into the open. Such is not the history of the world; such is not even the example of inland. Tariff duties, whether levied for that purpose or for revenue, become a dead letter when we are able to competa with the outside world. We are the only rival that England fears, for we alone have in our borders the popu lation and the wages, the raw material, and within ourselves the great market which insures to us the most improved machinery. Our constant power to increase our wages insures us also continuous proKress. If you wish us also to follow the example of Eng land, I say yes, with all my heart, but ber real example and nothing lens. Let us keep protection, as she did, until no rival dares to invade our territory, and then we may take our chances for a future which by that time will not be unknown. Applause on the republican side. Tom Heed's Speech in Congress. ale's committee. The changes In this di rection, indeed, were so great tluit Senator ltrlcc, who was opposed to the measure when it came from the house, and pre di'Med, or was said to have predicted, its defeat if it were not altered, now snvs that he Is fairly well satisfied with it, and proph i esies that it will receive the solid democratic j vete of the senate and the support of the populists of that body. It is significant, however, that Itnce puts the duration of the senate's deliberation on the bill at two months. On April 2 the sen- ale will begin work upon It, and according to the Ohio statesman's reckoning it will not leave that body until after the begin ning of June. The chances are that if this I forecast errs it errs in making the time loo short Instead of too long, (ienerally the senate is a slow body, and there is no rea so to assume that it will alter its hahits in this respect in this case. Several influen tial and resourceful democratic senators are still opposed to the bill in some of its im portant features. Hill is one of them, and his record as a tighter and stayer counts for something. He will not vote against it when it conies up for final action, but will In (he interval wage war against the income tax and certain other leatures of it, and this con test means delay, and in a time and under circumstances when delay will be peculiarly harmful to the parly. The president is nat urally anxious that the bill be passed at the very earliest possible moment, but the indi cations are that June will be pretty well ad vanced before he gets his hands on it. rULYLV STATED.

Itefere another Issue of the E.nthri'Kisx the primaries throughout the county, and the county convention, will have been held. Just sword relative to the primaries mav not be amiss. As principle and party are of more importance than persons the ut most freedom of expression within the party ought to he allowed In the selection of delegates to the conventions so that the best men may be placed on the ticket to I which we as republicans expect to invite the suffrages ol the people in June. The ticket wants no loads in this year of our !xrd ISM, and il is probably equally true that no man aspiring to office w ants a nom ination to be defeated. The republican party owes no man within the party any thing, except that it has come to be recognized in a way that where a man has done good and satislactorv work as an officer that he shall be renominated for a second term. But this is not imperative in practice, nor is it always observed. In in application the people and not the office holder must be the Judge. While s man, as a life-long republican, who has worked for the good of the party, may be entitled to consideration in making nominations it does not follow that he has claims upon the office which cannot be ig nored. The people composing the republi can party are eminently fitted, if given an opiortunity to express themselves Ireelv, to say whom they want to do their work in the j county offices; and if they prefer one man to another it is poor politics to attempt to! force them to swallow the one whom they i do not want. In conclusion, shaking as a' republican desiring the success of the entire ; ticket, the E.xtkkpmsk would urge upon 1 republicans in the county the importance ol i going to the primaries on Saturday and se- ' lecting the best men in the party for j delegates. If these delegates are put up in ! the interest of any one man it is apt not I only to disqualify them to ai t well and im partially in the selection of the other candi dates, and may, in case they lose sight of every thing else in their desire to win, do the party and the man for whom they are work ing an injustice by placing him on the ticket April l.q.

It Is worthy of note that never in the history of the republican party w as it necessary for men to orgnnue for the purxse ol marchingon the Nation's capital to demand work. It is true that not any ol those w ho constitute the armies are men who would work, but the times have shortened the pickings for the army of tramps and added to its number till the ag gregate is more than can well liesupported by a people whose means ef support have J liecn greatly shortened by the curtailment of w ork and the shrinkage of values. The remedy is a return to sound and sale Im.i ness principles in the administration of tl s affairs of the nation and in the making ol law. This the democratic party has shown itself utterly incapable of doing. Tumi is much force in the follow ing from the Portland Chronicle: While populist and democratic demagogues are laying their heads together and considering how ! best they can defeat the republicans in the June elections, the intelligent voter is ask ing himself the question, "How shall I work and vole so as to bring about speedy return of good times?" That Is just now the real question at issue. The one great thought that now perplexes the minds of most men, is not whether they will fuse with this one or that one, but where the next dollar is coming from, snd few men will care who they elect so long as Ihey can get a chance to earn a living. Mere politics don't count for much in these days; but wherever elections have lieeu held so far in this year of grace. It would seem that a large majority of voters look iiion "republican success" and " returning prosperity" as synonymous terms. only to sutler defeat at the polls. THE WILSON BILL. ine repon mat me president Has ex pressed bis approval of the Wilson bill is probably true. While it is reasonable to sup pose that he liked the measure better when it was in its original form, it is altogether safe to say that be will sign it if it passes in its present shape. As It left the hands of the ways and means committee it did not contain the Income tax, this feature of the present measure having been annexed to it afterward. Mr. Cleveland, of course says the Globe-Democrat, like all the other Democrats of his section, is opposed to this impost, but he is not going to veto the bill if it contains this provision when it reaches him. There are democrats, to be sure, who would be glad to see the whole bill killed if ihe income tax is kept In it, vet the more sensible and practicable of the democratic foes of the tax Bee that the party's interests would be better served by letting the bill, even with the objectionable feature, become law even at the earliest practicable time. This necessity for speed in the passage of the bill is what is going to give the president trouble. It will give him trouble because nothing like speed is possible under existing conditions. The bill even now is objection able to many democrats apart altogether from its Income-tax schedule. Changes were made in the finance committee with the hope of meeting the objections, and As it is generally conceded that Geo. C. Brownell will be the republican nominee for senator It will not Interfere with the as pirations of any other candidate Ifhls fit ness for the position is referred to at this time. While Mr. Brownell has not been for a long period of years a resident of Clackamas county be has in the time that he has been here thoroughly identified himself with our interests and has shown bimseirin full sympathy with all that will promote the good of the most people in the community. Mr. Brownell is a poor man having lost his accumulations by the fail ure of crops in Kansas and as he was brought up to know the vicissitudes of poverty, his sympathy, early training and experience in life all tend to make hitn view economic and poliitcal questions as a poor man rather than from the standpoint of the capitalist. He is in hearty sympathy with the people, popular and capable. As s man of affairs he is fitted by reason of bis long and intimate association with people to know their wants and has had experience and marked success in his dealings with men. While he has not been Jong in the county he Is very popular as is shown by the demand for his services all over the county whenever a politncal meeting is held. As the nominee of the party for the first place on the county ticket he will bring into the campaign such life and activity as will insure the party many votes that might not otherwise be secured, and as senator from Clackamas he could be relied upon to guard carefully her interests and the wishes of her people who would be well and ably repre sented in the senate chamber. While other counties have found it nec essary to maintain committees of 100 it is worthy of more than passing interest to note that Clackamas county has not found it necessary to look to any such committee. Although there was appointed by the pop ulists a committee of investigation long since they have failed to report any startling discoveries, and the partial report which they issued concerning the affairs of the city for the purpose of backing up the mayor In his ill advised fight against the council wag so lacking In point and so crudely drawn as to cause one to almost think it was written before the author reached the city limits on his way to be come a resident of the city. One would hardly think that it was inspired by a native webfoot such for instai.ee as the pres ent mayor 01 we city. TiiKSuletu Democrat says of the Marion com ty democratic convention which met in that city on Tuesday of last week that it was one of the most disorderly and noisy gatherings of the kind that has been wit-nes-ed in Marlon county since the celebra ted '." This was due to the fact that a number of heretofore party bosses, having failed to carry their own precinct at the primary election, secured proxies and In sisted on delivering orations at their own funeral. Like a lot of kicking buhies they refused to take their medicine, and when it was forced down their throats they resisted with all their little might and succeded In convincing the delegates from the country that they needed a spanking, and it was ad ministered without much regard to parlia mentary tactics.

Bkioiit man, the mayor!
