quite frequently refer lo the Industrial
evil and economic disturbance which
come upon the country under republican
rule, rot for the purpose of showing that
the tariff policy ol thc country necessarily
bring those evil upon us, but for the pur
pose of showing that the boasted protection
policy of the country cannot prevent their
coming. A an example : It I a misfor
tune to the Industrial Interest of the coun
try that strikes tgrdnst a reduction of
wage In large manufacturing establish
ment like Carnegie' should take pli.ee
similar to the one .tow going ctt, whereby
thousand of poor men with large families
dependent upon them for bread and butter, '
should lake place. We refer to this strike j
not a the result of the tariff policy of the
country, I ct lo show laboring men and
misguided farmer that these strike will
occur in ftpl'e of Ih's boasted "protection
policy of the country. In truth and In
fact the moot stupendous und far-reaching
strike that have ever cccurrcd in the
country have taken place under the high
est rate of tariff that the country has ever
had. ' During the latu camralgn republi

that If Cleveland should be elected the re
verse of all these would be entailed upon

reduction In wage that has taken place
tnce the election, not a a necessary re
sult of protection but to show up the un
fulfilled promise and rcdlctlont of these
republican leader. Thc Monnlitineer say
the Democrat I wedded to free trade. The

come to the conclusion that the Aemtfm'if
' mutt be driven to the wall and left
without argument when coin pet led to re-
tort to such (Illy misrepresentation. The
Drmh rat ha had In tim's pat some

All the money collected by General Govern
ment go into one Treasury, or public account.
Theie i no separation of the revenue. When
there i a surplus it result from excessive taxa
tion in te aggregate. And wbea the revenue
b to be reduced the only question are, Whs'
Uxe can best be pred? What reduction
will give the most relief lo the greatest number
ofjieople?
A monopoly organ persistently urge that
legislation to reduce the urplu should begin
with the internal tase. They are denounced
a war taxes, "JuF l J points," or more-lhart
30 per cent,, of the present tariff are war taxes
Io; " And three fourth of these are levied
upon the necessities of the people, whilo all of
the remaining internal taxes are levied upon
vice or indulgence namely, ujwn spirit and
tobacco.
The trouble with part legislation to reduce
he surplus is that it ha began with the inter
nal taxe and for many year has stopped there.
Of all the intricate tystera built up during the
war only the taxes on whisky and tobacco re
main, anJ the procetd of these.oppressing no"
body, just about pay the war legacy of interest
and pensions. If the lurplus has a particular
source it i in the tariff, which now average 47
per cent, against 33 per cent, at the beginning
of ihe war, and produce $225,030,000, against
a 1 79,000,000 at the close of the war.
The Democratic policy of tariff reform look
to relief Of the Treasury and a relief of the
people at the tame time. To cut off the re
tnnant of the intemkl taxe would be simply to
throw away revenue for the purpose of perpe
tuating the Trust (ottering and burdensome
high tariff.

There is proof that honesty ('ill prevail in
managing public institution. Let all doubter
examine the management of our ttate peniten
tiary and they will find that under it present
management the running expenses are several
lluiuMml lets than under the republican uper-
mtenilcnt, George Collin. How in it that a
democrat can run the penetentiary for several
tliout and dollar less per year than a republican
although the institution ha about 80 more con
victs? lt republican tax payers open " their
eye to thi imjiortant fact. To republican
voter and tax payer I would tay, i it not
strange that most republican leader after hav.
ing held office a while become bankers, merch
ant, railroad magnates and even millionaires?
Look at the management of the penitentiary
under George S Downing. He will (how you
what honest management means, A writer in
he East Oregonian gives hi view s of the man
agemeot of the penetentiary after having care
fully investigated its workings. He is a detec
tive and iscompetent to Judge. Here is what
he says: "I think the Oregon penetentiary is
one of the best managed institution! in the
United Mates, Irons are never used here on
he shoulders or leg of prisoners, nor is soli'
tary confinement resorted to except in cxteme
cases. 1 o my surprise, the prisoners all work
faithfully under the superintendence of Warden
McKinuon. - The successful way he controls so
many criminals is worthy of public notice and
commendation, r The condition of the Oregon
penitentiary has surprised the traveling detec
tives who make a business of secretly . investi
gating the prison affairs of different States. I
have had over twenty years experience in deal
ing with criminals, more or less; yet the way
McKinnon handles most of these men, without
tons or brutal treatment, is sometimes a mys
tery even to mv Superintendent Downing is
an unassuming man, but a perfect man for the
work he has to do. ' His rules and svstem of
government have been ' considered as models
by detectives and visitors from other and older
Statcs.aud the people of Oregon have reason to
be proud of the conduct of this institution,
u naer Mr uowning s superintendency it is no
doubt unexcelled in the United States. AU
the officers of the prison are deserving of praise
in their several stations. They are; George S.
Downing, superintendent; M J McKinnon,
warden; George Barr, clerk. The rule of the
institution are strictly enforced. No cuardis
allowed to use profane language to any prison
er.norto abuse them in anyway. Nor are
they allowed ongage in drinking and gum
bling when on or off duty. Honesty, sobriety
and strict attention to duty are the qualifica
tions of guards in this prison, The . manage
ment is a credit to the state." Scio.
