The people,' who are so earnestly
laboring for reform, should not for
get the character of (ho enemy with
whom they are contending. Monop
olies iilwaVs attach to there service
men who are crafty, subtle and skill
ed in every art of cunning villainy.
Such men, alone, are useful in the
councils of those who worship at no
other shrine than that of Mammon.
Those who aid the monopolist to car
ray out his designs in a frank, bold
manner are simply dupes. The ene
mies of the reform the people1 aro
striving to inaugurate may, therefore,
bo classed in three groups, viz: First,
the monopolists, or, to distinguish
them by a more comprehensive title,
the licensed, public marauders.
Second their satelites, the knaves
and third, the fools. Let ub illus-
Mr. Holladay, with his sub-
built with other
people's money, porsonates the suc
cessful financial buccaneer. Mr.
John Hippie and the ring of bribers
in Portland represent the sleek, foxy
knaves, and every loud mouthed ad
vocate and defender of these two
classes, met with any where, may
safely be ranked at the tail of the
column as wanting both self respect
find common sense.
This is the material of which the army
opposing reform is composed. Like
the hosts of Pharaoh they swarm on
the people's track, and unloss their
progress is soon checkod it will ro
quire an interposition as miraculous
as the Bed Sea delugo to preserve a
single vestige of Bepublicail freedom

TV'e have cited the Ring of eomip-
tiomsts in Oregon as an example be
cause our readers are acquainted with
their disgraceful acts. The same
class of men control every Depart
ment of the National Government.--The
fountain of publio virtue is
poisoned and tho deadly vims per
meates every channel of the National
service. Those who should bo tho
servants of tho people have become
their masters. Witness tho refresh
ing boldness with which members of
Congress declare the popular indig
nation, caused by tho' salary steal,
only "the clamor of an irresponsible
rabble." It is true that Congress bus
responded to that "clamor" by re
pealing the obnoxious law, buj they
made a clear profit of sixteen hun
dred thousand dollars in tho transaction.
The boldness, of Grant and his sup
porters in Washington has inspir
ed the loaders of the liopublican par
ly everywhere with an audacity that
would bo startling to tho friends of
free government wore it not that
their faith is still strong in the pur
pose and power of the people to ro
CUT Off HIS CONTINUUM'S.
Sirica Congress has 'repealed the
baok pay steal, so far as it relate to
themselves, it is surely only justice
that tho salary of the President should
likewise be reduced to what it was

Boise City now hasa great religious

The Sticke?n mines excitement is
the Republicans in Congress will hot
permit them to do this, then let them,
at least, go to work at tho reduction
of the President's "Contingent Fund,"
iwhich Mr. Dawos estimates to be$70,-
000 a year, and which is generally con
coded to be as much as $50,000, thus
making tho President's actual pay

For instance, one of the President's
military secretaries some months ago
accepted a position in private life, and
it was supposed that he bad retired
from publio office. Now the state
ment is made that his resignation has
never been accepted. It is tho duly
of Congresa to ascertain whether he
has drawn his pay as an army officer
and military secretary. Another in

President, hold tho rauk of lieuten

The people of Oregon will soon be
called upon to express their opinion
regarding tho shameful nets of Grant
and his subservient followers. ICvery
art that unscrupulous villainy can do
viso will be resorted to for the pur
pose of deceiving the people and se
curing control of our Stalo govern
ment. Thoro is but one hope of suc
cessful opposition to tho corrupt
combination seeking to forage upon
the substance of tho people, and that
is iu the triumph of the Democratic
party. Whilo wo regard that hop'o
equal to a certuinty we cannot refrain
from wishing to see a majority rollod
up against the corrnptionists of such
magnitude as shall carry demoraliza
tion into their ranks from which they
cannot again rocovcr. Let honest
men of whatever past political faith
remember that the issue before tho
people of Oregon at tho approaching
election will bo Democratic success
and an honest State government, or
Republican succoss with a repetition
of tho disgraceful history of Sam.

The highest rate of faro on any
railroad iu the country is ten cents a
mile, and there nra but few Htage
linos Unit charge that rato. Vet Con
gress allows its members twenty cents
for every mile of travel, What
would a merchant think of an agent
who should charge double his travel
ing expenses? Such a man would be
dismissed as a swindler. Iu the days
of homes and stage coaches tho rato
of twenty cents a mile was excusa
bk, but with railroads penotratiug to
vory inhabited corner of tho land
tho allowance is absurd.
How tifE GitANOEits Wor.K. Au ex
cellent illustration of the good ef
focts of tho Grangcrj' systom ,of or
ganization is afforded by their re
ported action in Wisconsin, in foil
ing tho plans of a ring of w heat op
orators. It appears that the ring,
buying wheat to storo in railroad ele
vators, determined to givo no more
than oeventy-oight cents pur bushel.
Thereupon the Grangers promptly
appointed men to travel through the
country where this game was being
played, in tho vicinity of St, Croix,
nifd whenever noccs-tity compelled a
fanner to sell, to pny him ninety
cents por bushel. At ouco tho spec
ulators offered ninety-live couts, and
their nefarious attempt to swindlo
tho farmers out of about twenty per
oont. of the valuo of their grain fell
through hopelessly. No such cor
rupt practices can succeed where the
combined strength of tho Granges
oan bo brouglit to bear for tho pro
tection of tho farmers.

Now, wo want to givo tlie Oregon

it claims, but we can't holp wonder
ing why its editor wasn't thrust into

ing secession sympathies, if the
above wero his sentiments then.
Well, tlie Oreyonhln takos a common

it is a good indication of returning

Tho State Grange of Indiana has
endeavored to fix the standard V just
how much farming a man must do to
be entitled to membership, and have
finally decided that he should rely
more upon tho products of the farm
for his income than any, other occu
pation. It appears that this will bo
a difficult measuro to determino, but
tho uocessity for some rule seems so
imperative that it is likely this will bo
generally approved.
The recont Sluio Convention of the
Farmers' Association of Illinois adop
