Ihe ettt$ctt. All p;ulv the democratic club In Salem numbers one hundred and ninety mem bers. The democratic club in Alban y num ber o. We expect to give our energetic support to tirover Cleveland, should he now re ceive the nomination of the United dem ocracy. New YorkSWw. The Pretdent,accempanied by hit wife, Secretary and Mrs. Whitney ,and Col. and Mrs. Lamont, left Wednesday on a visit to the exposition at Jacksonville, Florida. They will return to Washington Friday. The President has appointed Rev. J. C. Price, (colored,) president of Livingston College, North Carelina,mlniter resident and consul-general to Liberia. The Senate Judiciary comsaittee has re ported favorably on a bill to repeal the law prohibiting ex-confederates from holding poftitiens in the army and aavy. Here Is an opportunity for another huge bloody shirt shriek, and it will doubtless be given. Senator Sherman Is straining his voice In clamoring for an "honest count." We presume his Idea of an honest count Is the returning board count of 1876,10 wnlch he had a finger In making up the tally lists. "When any person becomes a public charge who Is not a resident of the state, the County Court wherein he or she be comes a public charge shall provide for such person, and the expense thus Incurred ahali be refunded to such county bv the state.' Hill's Code, Sec. 305 wmmBSEssszmmm It should be borne In mind that the re publican party Is more explicitly pledged to a reduction of the surplus in the treas ury by revising the tariff than the dem ocrats are. They said In so many words in their last national platform that they would reduce the surplus by revising the tariff. Now they back square down, and seek to make It a party question. The main thing to be kept in mind is the fact that the taxes on liquors and to bacco ought not to be removed, at least while we pay taxes on sugar,salt,clothlng. coal, iron and a thousand other articles of absolute necessity for daily life. Orege- , Nov. 15th, 188a. A republican cotetnporary tells about how the democrats of the South are divi ded on the tariff question, and how, in consequence thereof, several Southern states will support the republican candi date fr president. It is strange how soon some people forget, but we would say to our cotetnporary that this same story was telegraphed and published all over the country 1784 times in the campaign of 1884, and yet not a single Southern state voted for Blaine. We suppose there is much consoling comfort to republican leaders to nibble at these little crumb, but they are not to be depended on ia a polit ical campaign. The farmers started in i860 with one half the total wealth and one-half the pop ulation, and in twenty years increased their wealth $4,123,588481 ; the other half of the population increased their wealth $3.359.974.85i, or, to put it in a more graphic form : Farmers gained in wealth. .. 4,1 2j.5S8.4S1 The ether half gained 33,359.974,851 This proves, of course, that the farmers are getting rich through bearing the brunt of an unequal and inequitably ad justed system of taxation. Daniel W. Martin, Postsnaster at Oak ford, Howard county, Ind , was arrested a few days ago on a Federal Grand Jury warraut charging violation of the postal laws, and his offense is a peculiar one. He ia accused of withholding a letter contain ing the appointment of John W. Croussore, a democrat of Kokomo.to be his successor. Suspecting that the letter contained his own dismissal, he stuck it in a pigeon-hole and there it remained. Martin continued In office and finally the department made inquiry why Croussore had not taken charge. The letter containing that gen tleman's appointment was then returned as uncalled for. The Eleventh Congressional District of Michigan has just held a special election ia which the republican candidal : has won by 300 plurality. In 1886 the republicans carried this district by 2,243, and in 1884 by 7475. In 1834 Blaine carried Michigan by a plurality of 3,3oS. If the Eleventh District had givtn him only 500 he would have lost the electoral vote of the state by over 3,500. That district alone pulled him through. It is a great lumber-producing region and the President's recommeada ions in favor of putting lumber on the free list have doubtless been used there for all they are worth. The astonishing de cay of the republican majority is a presage of democratic victory this fall throughout thi entire Northwest. General Sheridan has been interviewed by an agent of the associated press at Washington City with reference to his be ing a candidate for the presidency ,and de clares his unalterable purpose of not ac cepting the nomination should it be tend ered to him. It is evident that the many republican papers that have declared for Sheridan, did so for no other reason than that they thought he was the oaly man they had that could be elected. No man of good sense would ever think of choos ing Sheridan in plucc of such men as Sherman, Hawley, Greham and Allison, if he thought the chances of any of these latter for election was as good as Sheri dan's. The East Oreaonian says the Willamette Valley papers are very much interested in Eastern Oregon, so much so that they want that section to have the next Con gressman. And this it says is done for the purpose of enabling the valley to claim the Senator to be elected to succeed Dolph. So far as we know, the democrats of the valley feel that if a democrat can be found in the valley who can be elected.and such a one cannot be found in Eastern Oregon, then they will demand the nomination of the valley man and vice versa. And the same about the Senator. But suppose the democrats can elect the Congressman and cannot elect the Senator. Then the sec tion that gets the congressional nomina tion is in luck, (may be.) If the East Ore gonian can name a valley man who can be elected, name him and we will demand his nomination, whether it be Mr. Bilyeu,Mr. Wcatberiord, Mt. Gearin or any other whom that paper names. MET Til EKE HE HARMONY. The notes of preparation for the state and national campaigns are now begin ning to be heard all along the line. Clubs of both parties are being formed In various parts of the state. Democrat In Multno mah and Marlon, the two strongest repub lican counties In the slate, are actively at work In organizing for the coming fray. This is significant, and should have the effect of diffusing some of the old time spirit of democracy among the members of the party throughout the state. Let democrats be up and doing, for the cause of democratic reform in the financial and other departments of the general govern ment calls for devotion and aggressive work. Let all past differences and dissea slons be laid aside and let us organise for an old-time victory. Let the democrats of Linn county awake and put on the armor of battle. Let by -gone dissensions and differences be sacrificed and wiped out for the general good. United and earncst.we can carry the county by 300 majority. Di vided and Indifferent, we will lose it. While our frieads,the enemy.arc saying nothing aloud that would iadlcate preparation for the coming contest, yet Indications come to light every day that show them to be quietly busy making ready to take advan tage of any mistake that democrats may make. It is the duty of every democrat aad independent la the state to stead up and strengthen the hands of the national administration that has been so exception ally pure and honest. STICK TO THE ISSUE. The republicaa Senators aad newspa pers evade discussion of the "condition" that called forth the President's message and direct their attention to a "theory" that Is wholly irrelevant The main question is the surplus. The Treasury balance is over $85,000, 000. The Government is collecting $500,- 000 a day, $15,000,000 a month and $180,- 000,000 a year In excess of its needs. Shall the surplus e stopped or spent ? If stopped, how ? This is the question and this the Issue. Why do not the republicans meet it in stead of shouting "Free Trade f They know and the country knows that a tariff 20 per cent, less than the present war maximum would be adequate for both pro tection and revenue. Their last President and their last two Secretaries of the Treas ury urged a reduction. Their own Tariff Commission recommended it and their own Congress promised it. By dodging the issue the republicans confess the weakness of their case. The democrats have forced the issue. Let them now force the fighting upon it. TARIFF. The Weekly Pioneer, republican.publlsh ed at Astoria, makes the following sensl ble talk on tariff revision and revenue re ductlon - "The more carefully and dispassionately President Cleveland's message is studied leaving partisan consideration on one side. the more surely convinced will any honest critic become that its opinions and sug gestions are in line with the best interests of the country from every material point of view. The threatened congestion of the national treasury has made this matter plain. It is generally conceded that the government revenues must be reduced and the only question is whether they sha'.l bs recuced In the interests of farm ers, working men and the non-manufac turing class, or solely in the interests of mill and factory bosses. We are confront ed with a huge surplus in the treasury, constantly growing. The tariff alone dur ing the "fiscal year yielded $217,000,000, whereas ten years ago it produced but $ 1 30,000.000. One-half of the present custom taxes would be amply sufficient with the revenue from other sources to meet the necessary expenses of govern ment. We think that the American man ufacturer should stop pleading the baby act, and stop invoking government protec tion for "infant" industries aad take his chance with a tariff that is revenueThere should be no special laws for aaybody that do not contribute to the general good." Spiceb, Feb. 2tst, 1888. Editors Democrat t I have read what has been said in the D k Moce at by the correspondents and the editor in favor of vive voce way of voting in the coming County Convention, and I am convinced that that is the right way to do. Democrats here all say they are in favor of it. But, now I want to ask who is to make the rule f Delegates who are elected are nearly always pledged to one or more candidates, so they will not be in favor of the rule unless they are instructed by a vote of the primary meeting to favor iis adoption. So, you see, Mr. Editor, that all your talk about the rule will amount to nothing unless the primary meetings in struct the delegates to favor the adoption of the rule in the County Convention. I would like to know whac you think about this ? Fairplay. We think "Fairplay" is right. The County Convention is net at all likely to adopt vive voce voting unless the delegates are instructed to do so in the primary meetings. From what we learn from democrats in various parts of the county, the sentiment is almost entirely in favor of the rule, but the adoption of it depends entirely upon the action of the primaries. -Editor. All the taxes that spirituous liquors and tobacco can be made to pay should always be collected. That is, the taxes ton these commoditieb ought always to be kept at as high a rate an possible without creating incentives to fraud and so defeating the object. Another thing, Jf we strike off the one hundred millions of revenue an nually obtained by the national treasury through these taxes, then no modification of the tariff on imports will be possible. There is a tax on all the necessaries of life, amounting probably to $500,000,000 a year, which is paid by consumers, of which, bow ever, only about one-third goes into the national treasury, while the other two thirds are divided as special bounties and subsidies among favored individuals and corporation". Free trade in these neces sary commodities is not expected or de sired, but a reasonable modification and reduction ef the rates of duty ought to be granted. Oregonian, Nov. 27th, 1882. And yet the Oregonian will not say such sensible things during the coming cam paign.

Teachers should bear In mind the fact that the Institute will be held In this city, commencing on Wednerday aftornoon, March 14th, and continuing during the two following days. Tha benefits accruing to young teachers from attendance upon these meetings seem not to be fully un derstood. Teachers of long experience know full well that their experience Is of far greater value to them In teaching than mere theoretical knowledge, and, this be ing the case,lt Is of great importance to the young teacher that he should be put In possession of the experimental lesson of old teachers. We think the people every where would do well to encourage teach ers to attend these meetings. Profs. Mc- Elroy, VanScoy and other leading educa tors will be In attendance and lecture dur ing the evening sessions. LOOK AT THIS. The tariff rate on plate glass last year was 57 per ceat. Plate gla Is used main ly by the rich. The tariff rate oa common window glass was 92 per cent. This kind of glass Is used largely by the poor. On silk dress and piece goods and silk ribbons the rate was 50 per cent. The rich use silks. On shawls the rate was 73 per cent. On velvets and vel veteens.used mostly by the rich, the rate was 40 per cent. On woolen cloths the rate Is 70 per cent. Woolen goods are a necessity to the poor. Oa jewelry, used mainly by the rich, the rate is 10 per cent. On woolen and worsted yarns 69 per cent. On "fine feathers" the rate I 31 per cent. On steel rails 84 per cent. It it any wonder than anywhere you go now yon find people talking about the tariff Well may thev talk.too. The more the better. DEMOCRATS, ATTENTION. The primary meetings to elect delegates to the County Convention will be held March 17th. It is the duty of every dem ocrat to attend and see that sound, safe, ju dicious men are selected as delegates. Re member that not only a state but a nation al campaign Is pending. Already demo crats all over the state are organizing for the contest. Clubs have been formed In Baker City, La 'Grande, Pendleton, Port land, Salem and other places,and the signs of the times point to a more fiercely con tested campaign on the part of democrats than we have had In Oregon for year. Let every democrat keep both eyes open ELECTRIC LIGHTS. The city has entered Into a contract with Mr. N. H. Allen for lighttng the city with electric lights. It has been suggested by a number of citizen that the county should light up the Court House and jail yard with these lights. It would certainly be a great convenience to the people of the county when attending Court and other official business to be able to find their way to the Court House without running chances of breaking a leg or a neck on un certain sidewalks. But the greatest bene fit would be derived from llghtfng the jai and jail yard, where so many attempts have been made to liberate crimlnals.The suggestion we believe Is a good one. A Massachusetts journal declares that all Eastern wool manufacturers would openly advocate free wool if they were not airaid of the opjujMUon of the wool growers to the duty oa manufactures of wool . This statement is probably correct , and it Implies no reflection on either the consistency or the good sense of the wool grower. His right to all the protection which the tariff can rive is as clear and indefeasible as that of the man who con verts the wool Into cloth, yarn or blanket. Astoria. Here is the tame old fallacy. Formerly, protectionist demanded a tariff in order to protect the "infant Industrie" of the country. Now, they are demanding one to protect the laborer of the country. But here comet the woolen manufacturer and propose to advocate free wool, If they can retain a protective tariff for themselves, and the wool men would sacrifice every interest of the laborer if they have to give up protection on wool. Bui while these protected gentlemen are about to fall out among themselves, what consideration is to be given to the million of farmer, me chanics, laborers and other non protected people who pay all these war taxes and get nothing in return ?
