FRIDAY FEBRUARY 1, 1S84 With candidate for the platform, the nomination is a declaration of prin ciple. Texaa cattle men are hard pushed Coin worth $20 to $36 in good timet ere telling for $10. In four years Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana and Texaa have doubled their railroad mileage. Since the clote of 1878 the amount of the gold in the country bat increas ed nearly $$50,000,000. m m. It it reported from Rome that anoth er American Cardinal is to be created before the end of the year. We are having five eclipses this year not including that of the Republican party, which will be visible in all parts of the country. About fifty colored school teachers of Missouri met recentl? in Jefferson City and organised a State Teacher's Ateo eiation. Fourteen of the twenty -two cities in Massachusetts will licence and eight prohibit the sale of liquor during the coming year. . m It is estimated that it costs $3,000,- 000 a vear to support the churches of mt mm New York City, white the revenue o the theatres is set down at $7,000,000 per annum. Mississippi has gained 100 per cent in fire rears in manufacturing indus tries, having at this time $7,000,000 invested in such enterprises. There are 80,000 more women than men in Massachusetts : and there is about the same number of men in ex cess of the number of women in North ern Mini e ta and Dacota. There are 3,000,000 of manufacturing laborers in this country and 6,000,000 of working men. So vast an aggre gate of social forces should give them some influence in the affairs of the Gov ernment. The Democratic Legislature of Ohio has elected a colored man to an impor tant clerkship. No Republican Legis lature has ever done anything of the kind in a Northern State. The largest locomotive ever built is now being made in Sacramento by the Central Pacific Railroad. The engine and tender will weigh 105 tons, and will be 65 feet 5 inches long. The total cost of the State Capitol at Albany, N. Y., according to Gov. Cleveland's recent message to the Leg islature np to December 14, 1883, amounted to $15,318,680.57. And the building is by no means finished yet. The increase of cotton manufactur ing at the South during the last three years has been remarkable. In 1880 the value of tho manufacturing cotton was a little over twenty-one million dollars ; now it is between thirty and forty millions. m m m The failures throughout the United States for the year 1883 foot up the enormous sum in liabilities of one hun dred and seventy-two millions, being an increase over the year 1882 of seventy-one millions. The failures of 1883 exceeded any year since 1867. Democratic clubs are being organ ized in various parts of Eastern Oregon. Why do not Democrats in Linn Coun ty begin to make preparations to or ganize for the Spring and Summer campaigns. Who will be the first to move 1 The Republican State central com mittee has been called to meet at Port land on tbe 21st of February t fix the time and place of holding the next Re puLi'oaQ State Convention. The Daily. (Salem,) Talk under the editorial management of Mr. Taylor is getting to be a sprightly, newsy, news paper. The Republicans in Congress are becoming frightened at tbe wide spread sentiment among Republicans in the northwest in favor of tariff re vision. Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Mich Igan, Wisconsin and Nebraska are in favor of it without regard to party pre- diliction. . Pnblic salaries and private wages are absurdly low in Switzerland. Tbe President of the Confedertion receives only $3,000 a year ; few judges get more than $1,000, while there is hard ly a bank manager in the whole coun try who earns twice tbe latter sum in a year. During the year the Government has collected revenues amounting in round a - AAAA AAA AAA V numoers kj boo,vuu,uuv, ana ex pended, inclnding interest on tbe pub lic debt, $265,000,000, leaving a sur plus in the Treasury of $1 34,000,000. Does this not show that the people are overtaxed ? It is very soldom that Americans go to England to grow up with the coun try, yet a New York dispatch assures us that two editors, Oakey Hall and W. H. Hurlburt, late of the World, have gone to London to reoruit their shattered fortunes. One is to marry a Duchess and the other an actress. high WAGES. Time upon time again, havo we been told that one of the greatest benefits derived from the laying of a high pro tective tariff is in the high wages whioh it affords the laboring men of the coun- ry. The fallacy of this argument will appear from whatever standpoint the subject it viewed. In the first place the price of labor is regulated and de termined by the supply and demand, And not by the willingness of manufac turers to pay a high price for labar in return for tbe protection whioh they receive in oonsequenoe of tho lsytng of a heavy duty upon imported articles of the kind whioh they manufacture. These manufacturers employ thecheap- est labor they can get, without regard to the fact that each one of them is protected at the expense of every other man, woman and child in tho United States. If it bo true that wages are higherin the United States than they are in England, as claimed by protec tionists, that fact is not accounted for in the fact that manufacturers of pro tected articles generously pay high wages in return for this protection, but is accounted for in the fact that the price of every artiole consumed by the laborer is high priced in consequence o heavy duty. Thus, it will be seen that while the American laborer may receive higher wages than the English laborer yet the former loses all this advantage in higher prices which he pays for a! he consumes. In Other words, he taxed heavily on all the necessaries o life for this advantage ot high wages hence his condition is no better than him who gets less wages, but whoso ex pense of living is corresjtoBdingly less. No, the manufacturer goes before con gress and there pleads for a high protective duty that he may pay his laborers good wages, and when be gets the law he then goes to Europe and makes contracts with the "pauper la borers" of that country whereby he agrees to pay their expenses to this country, which is part payment ef their wages here for labor after they arrive. Petitions now are being circulated in Pennsylvania, requesting congress to prevent tbe importation into this coun try of foreign laborers under contracts made abroad, and are receiving many signatures of workiugmen throughout that state. As an evidence of what is transpiring in regard to this matter we call attention to . tbe following state ment as showing that laborers in the hands of eastern manufacturers are in many respects the slaves of their em ployers : Tbe cotton spinners of the Clark Thread Company, Newark, are fighting against a proposed reduction of their pay of 10 per cent in the new Kearney mill and 15 per cent in the old Newark mill. They are told by Superintendent Thomas Poole that the reduction is necessitated by the sharp competition offered by Clark's Mile End Spool Cot ton Mill, whoae superintendent is im porting cheap labor from England, and by several New England cotton mills that are doing the same thing. Tbe Mile End mill is new, and is not run ning vet to its fall capacity. It is run by the Clarks of -Glasgow and an American stock company. The Clark O. N. T. mills are run by a Paisley firm of that name. The spinners in both milts work by the piece. In the O. N. T, mills they get $3.66 for every 100 pounds of yarn spun, which is about $15 for a week's ork. The old spinners in the Mile End mill are paid $12 a week, and tbe new ones usually $10. The other hands in the business are wage workers. They work- fewer hours than the spinners, and receive less wages. This class in the O. N. T. mills will not be reduced in pay. N Tbe notice of reduction was read to the O. N. T. spinners a week ago, after twenty-one Englishmen and one Eng lishwoman had cone to work in the Mile End mill at $10 a week. They called a meeting and appointed a com mittee to consult with superintendent Poole. A reduction of 15 and 20 per cent was first announced, but the Su perintendent agreed to make it 15 and 10 per cent if tbe men would not strike. They told him they would answer to morrow. A less red action is proposed in the new mill because the machinery there is more improved. The cotton frames have a greater number of spin dles, and more yarn is spun than in the old mill. CANDIDATE. This biennial growth seems to be now making its appearance, snd the harvest promises to be an abundant one. Crops of this kind, as well as wheat, never fail in Oregon, and especially in Linn county. While portions of this crop are sometimes "frozen out," yet there is never a failure in the crop from this cause. The "rust" never strikes this crop that is candidates never become "rusty." There is never much "sum mer fallowing" done in growing this crop for the simple reason that time is precious to the crop. When tbe crop is ripe the people generally "thrash" about half of it. There is one thing strange about this crop ; it is generally "measured" before it is "thrashed." This crop is sometimes "sold out." When being harvested it is often "shocked" at the turn of things. Some people think rotation in crops is best, but candidates do not think so. This crop is generally planted in the spring, but sometimes it starts in tbe fall. The crop this year will doubtless be abun dantly sufficient to supply the demand of the public. ratals prrtensn. No one trait of character is more commendable in politics than candor. It strengthens a party even In tho estimation of its opponents to be can did. Among the voters of the coun try it inspires confidence and faith a tho party that exercises It. The oaders of the Republican party have, ovor siace 1870, boon proachlag and teaching to the people that thoro was and Is a great necessity of reforming the manner and way clerks and other subordinate officials in the employ ment of the Government shall be ap pointed, and for what reasons they be discharged. They have planted themselves upon the doctrine that employes of government in subordi nate positions should hold their posi tions during good behavior that so long as capable persons were doing good faithful service they should not be discharged simply because the party In opposition to their own has succeeded. This has been the Shibboleth of the leaders of the Republican party for years. United Slates Senators Sher man, Hawley, Hoar, Dawes, and in fact all of them stood up in their plaoee last session of Congress and gravely i ft - . a declaimed sgatnrt removals of govern ment employes with out 'cause. John Sherman, whose pathway of polities life ia literally traceable by tbe evidence of deceit and double dealing, partiou larly called the attention of the country to the better and more elevated views entertained by Republicans than demo crats upon this subject. This rule all well enough to these Senators who assumed such superiority of virtue, when there was no taaptation to vio late it. But what a change came over tbe spirit of their dreams, when an oppor tunity presented its self of ousting a dozen or so democratic clerks in the U. S. Senate. When that body convened first of last month it was officered by Democrats clerks who were all ac knowledged to be faithful competent and honest. Ndt a fault had been alleged against them. Thay were just such clerks as the senate needed and wan ted, except they were Democrats. Here was a slight sprinkling of the spoils of office whhh called aloud to tbe cupidity of Sherman, Dawes, Hawley, Edmunds and others who have talked equally loudly and abowily about civil service reform. Without any com plain: against these clerk, these grave and virtuous Senators turned out these true, tried clerks and put in their places inexperienced ones, simply because they were Republicans. When called upon for tbe reason for turning these faith ful clerks out of their pieces these Sen ators sat dumb and. opened not their mouths. Now, the objections is not to the mere fact of dismissing a few Democratic officials and putting Re publicans in their places, for generally the country will not obsereve the difference, but the objection is to the hypocritical pretences of these Re publican leaders that they are not par tisan in reference to appoint ments te the civil service, when in fact no party ever existed which was more partisan than these leaders at the bead and con trol of the Republican organisation. The Brewery property in the United States is valued at $150,600,000. jcwr no. Tbe depths of political degradation are at present exposed in New York, in tbe fight between tbe Democratic factions, Tarn many Hall and the county democracy, for the possession of tbe plums in tbe board of aldermen. KellyH is really master of the situation, and true to his cbsracter,he would not leave his opponents even the crumbs. He wants his man Kirk, an illiterate and exceedingly vulgar owner of a common rumsbop in tbe lower part of tbe city, to be made president of the board of aldermen. Albany Tl troll. Yes, tbe depths of political degrada tion were reached in this way. Tam many Hall wanted to elect Kitk president of the board, but the regular Democrats would not vote for him, but tbe Republican aldermen came boldly to Tammany's rescue and voted for "Kirk, tbe illiterate and exceeding ly vulgar owner of a common rumsbop in the lower part of tbe eity." How doea our contemporary like it. TUm ESftANCWINBB) SABNSJfT, Political information from Washing ton City is to the effect that Republi cans have decided to-open up (he next presidential campaign by tbe use of the "bloody shirt," in order to avoid a general discussion of the tariff question They now see that they will lose the west and Northwest if they rely upon their protective tariff issue. This is evidently true, and it is equally true that they will lose the east if they rely upon the bloody shirt ; so betwixt the two they will find themselves in a bad political plight so far as electing the next president is concerned. FORFEITED LAD CBAIKTS Tho resolution of Congressman Rol- man, (Dem.,) of Indiana, instructing tbe committee on public lands to report bill to the effect that all unearned railroad lend grants should revert to the government,and providing against spec ulators grabbing up such lands came up for passage on Jan. 21at.
