Primary meetings will bo he'd at the
voting places in the several precincts on
Saturday, April 8th, at one o'clock f.

quest that every Democrat attend the
primary meetings so that a full expres

obtained.

Wo would call tho attention of Bern
ocrats to the call in another column for
a County Convention to be held April
1 1th, for the purpose of electing dele
gates to- the State Convention and nom
inating a county ticket. The matter of
electing delegates to tho State Conven
tion is important. Good, reliable dem
ocrats, and those only who can attend,
should be ehoaen. The indications ate
that democrats msy ee able to carry-
the state in view of the acrimonious di
visions which exist now, and which will
doubtless continue to exist in the ropub
liean party. Bene we ehduhl have a
strong candidate for Congress and fr
Supreme judge.
As he a eoanty ticket it is only
cosearv to eav that the rank and file
of the party demand the nomination of
a ticket composed of men who come up
to tho standard of the Jeffersonian tost
of honesty and capability. For Sena
tor a man should be nominated who is
in full sympathy with tho people on
these questions of taxation and economy
which will demand so large a share of
attention at the next asm ion of the leg
islature. The same may be said with
reference to the candidates for the lower
house. The eoanty will be entitled to
six members in the lower house, hence
it would be well for democrats in all
parts of the county to discuss the fitness
of all who easy be proposed for these
important nosxtions. Lot all no m in a-
e
ticsM for county officers bo esado upon
tho ground of fitness. Every Democrat
is in tore ted, hence all should attend the
primaries and assist in the election of
reputable citizens ss delegates to the
County Convention.

Portland is determined to have tho
next Congressman so tar as tho Repub
lican party is concerned. The Repub
licans of Multnomah have two purposes
In view. One is to elect a Congress
man who will ho a faithful and devoted
servant to her snd the railroad interest
as against any other interest which the
state, or tho people of the state msy
have. The other purpose will bo to
elect a legislature that will mske a
great many radical changes in our as
sessment laws. Among the changes
which the republican leaders of Port
land want are these : Repeal cf the
mortgage tax lsw. Repeal of the law
whioh taxes money.
Repeal of the law that taxes note s
account, and other credits. Repeal of
the law that allows the tax payer to
deduct his indebtedness from his asses
tnent. How do our republican friends in the
counties" like this program ?
Will they submit to it ?
thorn. .
Not sll of
An attempt will be mode in the Re
publican State Convention to place an
anti-monopoly plank in tbs platform.
It ie said that the Portland bosses will
hsve no objections to tho plank, if they
are allowed to name the candidate. But
what a farce, end how ridiculous it
would appear to place that party on an
anti-monopoly platform after having
been tho fast and devoted ally of mono
poly and corporate power for the last
12 years.
Fur the sake ot the truth of history
we are called upon to say that the
Supreme Court of the United States
did not ''solemnly decide"io the Dred
Soott case Inat "the negro bad no
rigrfats which the white man was
bound to respect," as stated by Judge
Boise In his address Wednesday eve

The Oregontan of the 14th inst. has a
ong editorial m which the utteetton
of taxation is treated in suae a amy
as to ehow that our laws upon -that sub
set ought to encourage our people to
run in, and remain in debt, and that
usurers and money lenders are the
it friends of the people, and that
their property ought not to be taxed.
sjs , . s w
In vindication of the euperior tights of
this class that paper says ;
"Taxation of loans, mortgagee, sad
other credits is, in itself, a hoary blow
to industrial development and commer
cial progress " And again , "A more
efficient STttem to pauperise the tate
ooul d not be devised."
Now, it is aaid that tho Scotch Cow
patriae have loaned in this State $2.-
500,000 moeUy on farms, snd it is alao
alleged, on the testimony ot actual ex-
porienoe of the last few years, that tbe
borrowers have not made to ex need
ner cent on this money. So. the usurer

This process is gradually but surely
rooting out the farmers of the country, n place which Cannot bo supplied by any j representative of yourself, your per

soil from the rut.l districts, to the
money lwidor, of our own state and t.r-1
eign .anas.
Thie credit and mortgage system is
surely but certainly tending to pauper-
ise the great meases of agrioultunste by I
making the many poor and toe few
rieh.
Daniel Webster once aaid that any
country whose lews encourage the ac-
cumulation of prefer tr ie tho heads of
the few at the expenoe of the many
ooold not loag maintain fee institutions,
And yet this would be the inevitable
result of exempUug money, mortgages,
and other credits from taxation, which
the Ocegoiian so unceasingly ad ro-
catea. j
Thsre is no truer saying under the
sun than thst the borrower is tho
vant of the lender. And thie ia Mtion hia effure lor the improvement and
halt hidden secret to tho borrower, lie
continually feels that he is such seen ant.
Oliver Cromwell, fresh from the great
victory at Dunbar wrote to the indue-
tries of tbs country to bear all the bur-
dens of taxation. No, the only sals,
fair, equitable uniform eyetom of texa-jhia
tioa is to tax all property, whether land
mortgages, notes, money or other pro I

erty oi vsiue, ana an io oe aaseaeeu H
its true value. In this way, and eni
in this wsy, will taxation be uniform
and equal. As before sai l, the Oreg
nian system is based upon the idea that
the credit system is a benefit to the
country. Experience, and common
sense as well show, thst U ia a bright
upon all industrial, commercial at.d
agricultural presincta. We bdirain
tho system announced by the grangers,
to discontinue the eosdit aystm, the
mortgage system, the fashion system,
and every ether syatetn te.odtog to prod
igality snd bankruptcy. Adam S ui h
in his "Wealth of XatinV Lapp down
certain elementary principles which our
people would do well to con aid r. Ho
says that "the enbjeet of every state
ought to contribute to the support of
government aa neatly as puamMe ie
proportion to their respective abilities
that is, in proportion to the revenue
which they respectively . enjoy under
the protection of the state"
Cooley in his excellent work on tax
ation says, that "tbs protection of the
government being the consideration for
which taxes sre demanded, sll parties
who receive or are entitled to that pro
tection may be called upon to render
the equivalent ' ' Tho Oregpnian woo Id
violate both these maxims by exempt
ing money, notes, and credits generally
from taxation and pises ail the burden
upon land. That ppor would also not
allow any indebtedness token from a
persons sssessment, thns placing the
whole burden of taxation upon the
land owner.
Such is the system of taxation which
capitalists would impose upon the prop-
. But will they submit to it t We
opine not.

Among the means provided for de
veloping and increasing the efficiency
of the public schools of Oregon, none
hsve been established capable of afford
ing the teachers and schools -more
benefit than the Teacher's Institute.
These meetings afford teachers an opj
portanity for the discussion and inves
tigation of matters constantly demand
ing their attention in daily school-life.
The teacher is bore brought into con
nection and close communion with
m v a . at -
many professional worsen who are
enthusiastic snd earnest in their several
views and methods, and who are acets
tomed to criticise the soundness of any
view, and tho practical application of
any new method. The young teachers
may here catch thie spirit of investiga
tion, and thus new Ufa may be infused
into their school. The Itv teacher ia,
alwsys found in attendance at the
Institute ready to measure himself in
tellectually and professionally with
others. Ho does not remain isolated
within the limits of one domain there
to become a mere pedantic pedagogue
filled with his own self-sufficiency and
daily becoming more narrow and set in
his own wsy, but he comes to the
Institute and is brought into contact
with those of equal snd of superior
ability, and is, in this way, enabled to
make a more aco urate eitimate of his
own capetity a. ottaehen Nov is this
the only advantage gamed by teafneri.
They are ens bled to consult wit b each
other, to.becaaw acquainted socially,
and to fdhn intimate Aid metlUg ac-1

Institute is the feeling of professional
pride .that is awakened and that is
necessary to success ia any business or
profession. The teacher comes to see
the real extent of bit work, end to tf
realise tho responsibilities tat root
upon binv and is stimulated to more
earnest exertions, snd more thorough
preparation for the better performance
of bis whole duty. Again, the special
end general dieoussions touching on
school work; that will be placed on the
program of the coming Institute, win i
afford all teachers, both old and young, 1
the opportunity of expressing their I

hardly equaled ia any other. selling

despised for the reason that no profee-
sioo is more shamefully abused by
sseny of the olaaa who should defend
its honor and uphold its dignity, jet in
i true purpose and in its legitimate
results, it receives our respect and
admiration. lathis, as io every pro-
iession, there are drones ood laggards,
but the irm teacher is quick to appro-

work. He adapts himself to all. He
mav see his instructions disrettarded.snd

Now what you want. mostly to know
ie when the rood will be built to if
ajsjina Bay. Saddle your horse and
travel to Y equina Bay. and you will
then understand what progress is being
Tbs iron horse will bo en the
banks of this stream before the summer
is gune. There hsve been many things
to be performed in quiet, without eef-
Uag 00 you in all things, as we have
endeavored to do on all proper oceamous,
and it is this whioh has caused doubts.
Two years ago the question wee asked
in this room, why were not those rafts
that were to be need ha the
of the road brought in if there
water 10 the Bey. Then Y equina wee
merely a domestic port, and we could
not have taken them in ; but since then
we have made of tho Bey a port of sue
try, and now It has its collector, tie
inspector and other offiosrs. We have
carved out of tho Bay what wo have a
right to, 00 account of our oommercie
advantages, aod we will resist every
effort now betas made to take from ue
this port of entry and consolidate
with others. In order to take imported
goods into a domestic port, or from
another pert, it would have boon
eery that the transfer bo made ot
ed bottoms, and we would have bad to
bond each individual
have boon equal to all
have been equal to tour. We are now
delivering those rails into Yaq-ina Bay
as a pen of entry with He
bouoe. It has boon said, until
a few weeks, that the officers of the
road bars friends with more money than
sense ; but when it became necessary to
supply a lies of stoamers from San.
Francisco wo foe ad the saooey,emd this
gentleman (pointing to Col. Devia) was!
Of the fools, and these who furnish
ed the money bae aatd, "what fools t
havo boon that we did not place millions
there years ago, instead of the few hnn
dr. -da of thousands." These sre the
foots we .want to welcome hove. Oa all
occasions in which you could aid us ws
hsve come to you, but you ooold not
aid US in obtaining these steamers, and
we thought beat to hoop silent. Your
first knowledge of thorn would have
been their en trance to Y equina Bay,
but thie was prevented by the staving
in of the stealer YaAuina at New York
City, and the am got in the papers and
you immediately knew all about it. j
The gross capacity of this vseael is 2100
tons. She is now laden with materials,
being a hundred daye out from New
York, on her way to Yaquins Bay, snd
she will either go tn or so seething
will happen. This steamer ie the easel,
lest aad slowest of the line of steamers,
and when the road ia completed snd
thsy sre run into the Bay we will lead
passengers from San Francisco in thirty
hours, in Portisnd in 44 to 48 hoars,
end them you will hays a chance to see
Portland blessed with a proper high wsy
to hsr.
I did not come here for a big railroad
talk, but principally to see yon, shake
yen by the hand again, aad look in the
fanes of those who have been say friends
ia the past. I have never disparaged
of assists 000 since tho read started, end
have obtained it many times from Linn
county. I Will single but one instance
in whioh a business man ia your place
has stood by ras. In 1870 I had nn.
folded, to some of your business men the
objects intended by those having the
proposed construction of the road in
