a m lite gtmmt FRIDAY OCTOMBER 2, 188B rOTF TfN AS THE Fitllll. An exchange in treating of the pro tection which high tariff men claim is afforded farmers hy the present tariff law, says that it is still claimed that protection fives the farmers a ready market for their produce. A good many other people have said the same thing, but not recently, ' Most intelli gent protectionists have abandoned that ground. It is so battered aad riddled by the truth that only the misinformed would think of resorting to it. Pro tectionists who know what they are talking about have long age given u p the attempt to convince the American farmer thst he profits by being taxed. These protectionists should be informed by Mr. Henry Cabot Lodge, whe is a revenue reformer in principle and a protectionists for votes, that the high tariff energies are now to be directed to proving to laboring men that 10 cents a day is a princely income,snd a higher oae thsn they would set wire it not for the present tariff. The farmers, next to the workingmen, are at the bottom under the protective system. By reason of the natural growth of the agricultural interest of this country their crops are greatly in exoeas of the demand of the home mar ket In the fiscal year 1884, the farm ers exported 15,247,510 bushels of Indian corn ; 27,256,427 bushels of oatmeal : and 70,349,012 bushels of wheat. Nor do theee great quantities represent all that the American farmers tent abroad. Protection baa not yet succeeded in building up for the farmer a home market for the produce of his laud. On the contrary, under the low tariffs between 1850 and I860, the home market consumed a much greater percentage of the products of our farms than is now bought by our manufac turing towns. The consequence is that the price of wheat and other agricul tural products is fixed in Liverpool. In the price of the exported surplus la to found the result of competition with the world. The protectionists! W a - . l nave bad no care or concern for the farmer. They protect against compell ing American labor to compete with what they call foreign pauper labor. They are not sincere even in this, for American labor is as poorly paid and more highly taxed than any other labor in the world, and the very men who pretend to the possession of philan thropic feeling for the workingmen induce cheap labor from Europe to oorae hither to compete with American workingmen aud to lower their wages But granting that they are sincere in their assertions that they deaire pro. taction in order to sur tain higher wages, they have no such friendship for the American farmer. While they have been building up a wall to give the control of the market to the manufac turers, they Lave permitted the farmer to suffer from competition with the eheap labor of Southern Russia and with the ryots of India. Under cur protective system, the farmer pays a sex of abaut 40 per cent, on what he buyj in the way of clothes and machin ery, an 1 competes, in Liverpool and here, with the natives of India whose clotbinz is a yard of cotton for their loins, and whose abundant fcoi is rice. The assertion jaVSwrOteclionists that the? "are working for the interests of the laboring people of the country baa lon been shown to be baseless, and of all men the farmers are they who are taxed for the building up of private fortunes without any cempensation. The American farmer bays in the. dear est market and sells in the cheapest. A HAPPY UVK CUT SHORT T f ,-; Roicoe Conkling has been in Ger many more than eight weeks, but he has not forgoUen his native tongue. He writes to a friend that, in his judg ment, "the republican party will never win another national victory." The ex senator is, in all probability, quite right. Unless there is s much larger democratic defection than we think there is, or is likely to be, the republi can victories of the future will be con fined to isolated school districts. Tbe democrats of New York last week nominated David B. Hill for goy. ernor and Roswell P. Flower for lieu tenant governor. Flower declines. Hill is the present governor. Tbe Stoats Zeitung a German democratic paper bolts Hill and will support Davenport tbe republican nominee. The dispat ches, (which are to be taken with con siderable allowance,) bear a tone of cer tain coming democratic defeat. We hope not, but all does not look hopeful in that state. Tbe democrats in that stata are sadly divided and if they do not heal all divisions they will meet with defeat. Beecher comes out in suppoit of tbe Republican ticket in New York. If tbe Republicans succeed in that state,it will be in consequence of the influence which th it gentleman wields. It is aafe to say that tho Republicans could not win without his influence and we hope they may not be able to do so with it. By the way, have our repub lican friends forgotten how bad a man Beecher was last fall? Tbe Orggonian calls him a man of "ill-repute ;" but we beg leave to say thst it takes just such a man as Beecher to bring success to be Republican party. AIAM?Cn The New England veterans of the late war went en an excursion the other day to Harrtsonborg, Virginia, whore they were met and very courteously and kindly treated by confederate veterans. Now all this was bad enough in fact a mingling with disloyalty that is truly reprehensible, but when these New England veterans deliber ately marched out to a confederate cemetery and strewed rebel graves with flowers, the offense is one absolutely too grievous to be borne. But since we think of it, this aet is not offensive to men who twenty-five years ago took np arms and fought the batttes of the Union, but it is only offensive to those men who, hearing the call to arms in 1862, began to make exousee and put themselves in the rear to speculate up on the misfortunes of their country. But now after the war has ceased end become a matter ef history to eight out of every ten voters in the country .these valiant gentlemen come forward te open up the war again, and when any thing like this strewing of flowers on eoufedetate graves by union veterans takes place these men who are always bloody minded in time of peaoe and carry a white flag in time of war, are np in arms at such scandalization of the union cause. IXTEBMal MMMK An esteemed contemporary insists that the Internal Revenue Bureau be "wiped out," because it is "an odious, oppressive and undemocratic institu tion." None need pay the taxes on whisky and tobacco except such persons as consume these commodities , hence it is difficult to see in what consists the oppressive character of this method of taxation. If the voluntary taxes which men pay for their drink and smoke are undemocratic, in the estimation of our contemporary, it would doubtless re gard the Custom-house as an altogether lovely Democratic institution. But if the Internal Bureau were wiped out, as "an undemocratic institution," it would be curious to learn whence are to come the $130,000,000 of Treasury receipts which are now drawn from whisky and tobacco. How could the large Treas ury deficit be covered after losing this revenue and refunding forty or sixty millions of dollars to holders of whisky and tobacco on which the taxes have been paid? Must the duties on tea and coffee be revived? Increase of protective duties would result in loss of revenue, and a general reduction of duties to tho revenue standard would encounter the fiercest hostility from all the protectionists in the country. It is besides, evident from the condition of the public finances, that the Internal Revenue Bureau must stand for a long time to come, no matter what may be the result of the efforts in behalf of tariff reform. The revenue from im ports are no; sufficient to meet the or diaary expenditures of the Government and to pay the interest on the public debt. The internal taxation ef whisky and tobacco was, it is true, imposed as a war measure, and it will still perform its functions as a war measure so long as its proceeds are applied to the ex tinguishment of the national indebted ness. So far from being odious and op pressive, there are no taxes which the people pay so cheerfully and feel so little as the taxes on what they drink and smoke. Yet it is a curious fact that there are persons who declaim against their voluntary taxes, and yet regard with the utmost complacency the taxes that are wrung from the necessaries of the family. It is much better to pay taxes on luxuries than on necessities. This fact must address itself to the con viction of every reflecting Democrat. Bsxsasix We would call attention to the fact that any person desiring to make final r i ... . . prooi on nis or ner nomestead or pre emption claim may have the notice published in the Democrat if be or she desires. Tel! tbe Register to designate the Democrat and be will do so. This applies to Roseburg and Oregon City districts. OORRBSPONDBNOE There has been quite a stir here in the Chinese quarters. Last Saturday night one of the section hands was robbed of $650. From the best infor mation we can gather here, it is thought nearly all of the Chinamen here are guilty. Two left as soon as the robbery was committed and have not been seen since. Diligent search has been made by the Marshall and others. No trace of the two missing up to te-day. The Marshall,McNary, has gone south to look after them. The Chinaman that was robbed was the best of the lot in Halsey. He is a Canton man and all tbe others are from Hong Kong. There has been no good feeling between them for some time. Oalcville. Farmers are busy sowing their fall grain, and the rain of the last few days is a great benefit to them.

The sentiment here soems to be unanimously against an extra session of the legislature, so far as tbe same is expressed. It is not believed the end will justify the heavy expense that will attach to an extra session. The weather is truly fine and the grass is growing like spring of the year.

A Safeguard. The fatal rapidity with which slight Colds and Coughs frequently develop into the gravest maladies of the throat and lungs, is a consideration which should impel every prudent person to keep at hand, as a Household remedy, a bottle of AYER'S CHEERY PECTORAL. Nothing else gives such immediate relief nnd works so sure a cure in all affections of this class. That eminent physician. Prof. F. Sweetzer, of tho Maine Medical School, Brunswick) Me., says : "Medicai science has produced no other ano dyne expectorant so good as Ayer'b Cbbrry Pectoral. It is invaluable for diseases of the throat and lungs." The same opinion is expressed by the well-known Dr. L.J.Addison, of Chicago, HI., who says: "I have never found, in thirty-five years of continuous study and practice of medicine, any preparation of so great valueas Aran's CuBBHY Psctobal, for treatment of diseases of tho throat and lungs. It not only breaks up colds and cures severe coughs, but is more effective than anything else in relieving even the most serious bronchial and pulmonary affections." AYER'S Cherry Pectoral Is not a new claimant for popular confi dence, but a medicine which is to-day saving tbe lives of tho third generation who nave come into being since it was first offered to the public. There is not a household in which this invaluable remedy has once been in troduced where its use has ever been abandoned, and there is not a person who has ever given it a proper trial for any throat or lung disease suscep tible of cure, who has not been made well by it. AYER'S CHERRY PECTORAL has, in numberless instances, cured obstinate cases of chronic Bronchitis, Larnygitis, and even acute Pneumonia, and has saved many patients in the earlier stages of Pulmonary Consumption. It is a medicine that only requires to be taken In small doses, is pleasant to the taste, aud is needed in every house where there arc children, as there ia nothing so good as AYER'S CHERRY PECTORAL for treat ment of Croup and Whooping Cough. These are all plain facts, which can be verified by anybody, and should be re membered by everybody. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral PREPARED BY Dr. J. C. Ayer 3c Co., Lowell, Mass. Sold by all druggists. POISON AT THE No article entering so generally into the fo(d of every family has been found more villainously adulterated than baking powder. For the purpose of underselling the " Royal," whose absolute purity and wholesomeness has never yet been questioned, hundreds of dealers are putting up baking pow ders with eheap and adulterated cream of tartar, which contains lime, earth, etc., adding strength by the free use of alum. . These adulterated powders are "shoved" upon the" pub lic with the greatest persistency. They are first given away left in samples at private residences, with circulars containing bogus analyses and certificates, and false repre sentations as to their value, etc. This fact of itself is suffi cient to condemn them. A first-class article will sell on its - ". SJ merits. No manufacturer whose goods are of value can afibrd to give them away, and none but the cheapest make and most inferior or unmarketable goods require to be distributed free in order to get the public to use them, and this method is adopted only by parties who have failed to dispose of their wares through the ordinary and legitimate channels of trade. Free samples of articles of food left at the house should be regarded with suspicion. There is no 'guarantee of their wholesomeness, while there is real danger that they contain a fatally poisonous compound. Many instances of poisoning from tho use of such samples are recorded. The Royal Baking Powder is never given away, sold by means of lotteries, nor accompanied by chromos, spoons, crockery or other gifts, except the gifts of absolute purity, wholesomeness, full weight and superlative leavening power. These gifts are guaranteed with each package. Its own merits have been its chief advertisement, and they have se cured for it the constant patronage of the American people to an extent beyond the combined sale of all other baking powders. 1 The Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure and perfect Grand Opening OF THE ALBANY OPERA HOUSE, Wednesday, Thursday and May Evenings, OCTOBER 7, 8 AND 9, 1885.
