For the last three year the Orgoux hat been asserting that the Mill bill wa to adjusted as to faror the eastern manu facturer and agalntt the western feriner, and especially against the wool grower of the north-west. Time and again hat the atatcment been denied In these columnt and that paper challenged to prove lU at qrltorv, but it haa dodged thla denial but continued to repeat itt allegation. It thut pretumet that itt readertare Ignorant, and that thia Ignorance will enable It to etar discontented repubtL-ana In thetr part jr. Itt boast It that the Mills bill wat In the Interest of eastern manufacturera and against the wool grower while the Mc Kinley bill wat adjusted In the Interest of the wool grower and agalntt the Interest of the eastern manufacturer. Thla we deny. Then let ut examine the facta bearing upon thlt Issue. When Mills Introduced his bill, the then existing average duty on wool wat 34 per cent and the then existing average duty on woolen goods wat 70 per cent. The dif ference then in the duty for the wool grower and the eattern tranufacturer wat 36 per cent In favor of the manufacturer. MUlt put wool on the tree list and reduced the duty on woolen goods from ?o to 40 percent. He thut cut off 3a per cent pro tection from the wool grower and 30 per cent protection from the eastern manu facturer, a difference of a per cent In favor of the eastern manufacturer. Now what did McKinley do? He Increased the duty on wool, (average duty,) from 34 to 40 per cent and Increased the average duty on woolen goods from 70 to 91 cent. Thut Mills made a change of a per cent n favor of the eattern manufacturer while McKinley gave the eastern manufacturer a net gain of 15 percent over the wool- grower, thus showing that the McKlnlejr bill was moie favorable to the eattern man ufacturer than the Mil's bill. It should be borne In mind that the wool growers aad manufacturera constitute but a amail portion of the population of the United States. The consumers of woolen goods constitute the whole mast of the people. The whole mass of the people are entitled to greater consideration from the law making power of the land than a small portion of that population Is. The laborer who has nothing but his labor to depend upon for a living Is entitled to ail the pr.v lieges and Immunities of cillxenshlp that belong to rich eastern manufacturers or the owners of the sheep and cattle of a tnousand bills. But it Is the unl vei sal rule that when the advantages and disadvan tages of protection are discussed the pro tectionists entire! Ignore the consumer and laborer as though he had no rights that the devoteea of protectionism were bound to respect. The Ortgomiam In at tempting to explain the remarkable change In political sentiment In Rhode Island which change Is demonstrated In the faci that Jin iSSS the republican plurality wat 443S, and prior to that time It wat 6000 to Sooo and since which lime the democrats have secured pluralities at each annual election. It first tajra tliat thlt change In favor of the democrats arises from the fact that prop, ertjr qualification for voters being removed, added a large number of foreign born voters to the native born voters and the natural result was an Increase In the dem ocratic vote. Then that raper pretends to find another rtason for this Increase In the democratic vele, which Is that the Mills bill was very favorable to manufact urers which Induced them to renounce re publicanism and vote the democratic ticket. Tiiis, as shown above. Is not true, because McKinley favored these manufacturers more than Mills The truth It the Mills bill did not become a la w, and hence could not have affected the vote of Rhode Island like the McKinley bill did which become a law. That paper is rig' when It assumes that It waa the tariff question that caused the great change that has been going on in that state, aidjn fact that has been taking In all the states. But It It not manufact urers who have changed. These have been too abundantly provided for to kick. It la the great bod of consumers, the great matt of labor people who work to day to get the mone to pa for the bread rhey ate yesterday who have ceased to vott the republican ticket In Rhode Island, and In fact all over the country. And thla leaven c4 enlightenment Is not confined to Rhode Island. It Is making Itself felt In Iowa Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota and other northwestern states as well as New Eng lin l. To thinking men It It the hand writing on the wall that marks the dea'h of the curse of protectionism. Da b da the propagators of the scheme of taxing one man for the benefit of another will see It weakening until It shall be dUcarded by an outraged and Indignant public.

Ac first these had wooden handles fitting into the gun, but 1639 the socket gun was introduced. POSTAL rROORES!?, To realise the enormous progress of the postal service of the United Stales one needt to consult hlstor to team that the present ssteinot postal service originated In 1704, with Samuel Osgood at the first Postmaster-General. At that time there was not a dall mail. There were but too pottofnees, and but aooo miles of mail routes. The first car of the postal service the grost receipt! were $50,000. At that time the cheapest postage wat tlxcentt for each letter, one cent for a distance not ex ceeding thirty miles. The rate of pottage for too miles distance was 1 J cents per letter, and for all distances over 440 miles the rate was twenty-five centt per letter. In 1837 the grost receipts of the UnUd States postal service had risen to $5,000, 000, while in 1890 the grost receipts ag gregated $61,000,000. In 1S90 the mall routes travelled dall la this service equalled a distance fort one times the circuit of the globe. Eight thousand letters are dropped Into the mail boxes ever minute In the da, and 150,000 people ate emploed In the tervlce, both In the pott- officet and on the pott routet. The amount of business which an par ticular office reports during the ear Is a true inJex of the business of that commu nity. The N'ew York returns $5,000,000 per annum for the gross recelftt of Itt one postoffice, ChUago returns upwards of $3' 000,000, Philadelphia and Boston upwards of $1,000,000 each, St Louis upwards, of $1 ,000,000, Ctnclnnattl$Soo,Ooo, Urookln and San Francisco each about 1 700,000 and Baltimore $600,000. No office In the United States does to Urjre a business In comparison with the population as Boston. Thus the gross receipts of Boston being upwards of $a,ooo,ooo,showed an average of $4.50 for each member of the commu ¬ nity. New York thowt $3.30 per head average, Chicago $3.10, Si Louis $1.80, Philadelphia $a ao, San Francisco fa, Bat tlmore $i.5,Clnclnnttl $1.50 and Brook ln but te vent- cents per head of popula tion. The Boston postoffice shows a markable business, so far as grosa receipts and profits are concerned. Uncle Sam makes a wet profit out of the Boston post office of near! $1,315,000 per annum, the grost receipts being $3,070,314, and ex penses $847,619. The business of these great postoiTtces approximates more near) to a great ex rrets company than to anything else. It Is a huge business, which requires a bust , nesa administration, and those pottoftices are most successful! managed which are conducted bv the highest administrative ability. It Is surprUlru', when the amount of business is taken into consideralkn,how few mistakes there are la proportion to the number of letters handled. It is a fact that b lar the largest pecentage of errors In deliver at our Urge posloffket are caused bv carclesiness In directing letters b those who address them. WHO WILL IT BE According to several private communi cations received at Washington Gty from the south. Senator Gorman Is receiving good deal of valuable Information In the course of his tour. He has discovered that he la very popular himself because of his masterly management of the fight against tne force bill, but he haa also dls- wrered that the men at the "forks of the creek" and ct the "cross roads," who pile cp democratic majoritlea on election day, are almost solidly In favor of Cleveland for president. Of court e, 110 one 'thinks Mr Gorman made the tour of the south a this time to create a presidential boom fcr himself; but his frirnd, Barnes Com pton, who accompanies him, according to re port haa written a letter to a friend in Washington, in which he complained that the people of the south were not as appre ciative of Mr Gorman as they ought to be. The meaning of this Is plain. The people of the south are In favor of tariff reform and in favr Cleveland, and while they appreciate Mr Gorman's services, as all other democrats do, they are not yet In clined to accept dictatorship or to surrend er their rfght to think and act for them selves at the behest of a successful leader of a memorable political contest Ex-Gox. McCreary of Kentucky, one of the ablest members of the hcisc, said while conversing with your correspondent on thia subject, also: "The people out In my district do not think of anybody else for president but Cleveland. They believe in him. They have confidence In him. Some few of the politicians frequently talk of Hill, but you do not hear hit name mentioned once to the $x timet that Cleveland's is. There Is no doubt that the plain people of the country have abso lute confidence In Cleveland. I will be Lgreatiy mistaken if Clevelmd is not nom inated by acclamation In the next national convention. Of course there Is an 'if.' If the New York delegation to the con vention should be against Cleveland It would be an absurdity to ncmlnate him. No man has ever been nominated and no body ever will In a convention where the Relegation from his on state Is opposed to him. SKCTIONIL. Tbe provision in the McKinley bill relative to sugar went into effect on tbe lft instant, sad the effects on this article, which is of daily consumption, wi.l toon be felt. Cheaper sugar will be a great benefit to the poorer cUtses, and will be duly appreciated by them. Our people If they can have cheap food can anora 10 boy American clothing alts iw a a price as foreign to support borne industries. Mamntaifttr. But owing to the advantages of "protection" to the refiner roviJed for in Bill McKL.ley's bill it it highly problematical wbetlirr we shall have cheap sugar or not. But if free trade in sugsr will make it cheaper, and this cheapness is a great benefit to the poor, why not make, lumber, salt, coal, woolen goods, lin, bin Jing twine, jute sacks and other things free in order that they might alto be cheap? Would not the po-v duly appreciate such cheapness? The Mantn!iieer It purely partisan aad sectional. It is In favor of fiee trade in southern pro ducts and protection for no'thern products. In the Rhode Island election belJ last week Davis, the drraocratic candidate for governor received 22,349 votes, Ladd the republican 20,995, Larry prohibi ionist 1828 and Burton nationalist 384. In that stale an actual ma jority over all. candidates is necesiary t i elect. The election of governor and other state officer, will now devolve upon tli legislature. The legislature will be largely republican. The state is so "ger-j mandeteil" for members of the legislature that it is almost impossib'e for the democrats to carry that body, notwithstsiui ing tliey might have a large plurality on their state ticket. As an example: Twenty-three republican towns, with a population of 90. 983 have 23 senators. Thirteen democratic towns with a population ol 253,124 hare 13 ten ators.One republican senator under this gerry mander for every 3.955 persons and one dem ocratic senator hr eveiy 19,471 . Whtt a pity some scheme might not be adopted whereby this deviltry of ierrj mmdering might be crush rd out whether practiced by democoata or re publicans of which each seems to he equally guilty. .

It there It any one thing above another which the editor of the Oitgenian delight to do, it Is that of discrediting the worth and merit nt the infiucuce of dead demo crats. Hit chlclett pleasure It In making tctndalout attacks upon somn leading democrat ft the Instant of his death and before his remains are laid away to moldcr back to their kindred dust. But at these opportunities do not frctcnt themselves at rapidly as the insatiate and ghoulish appe tite of the OrtfoiUit editor demands. It becomes necessary for him to stalk abroad among the sepulchcrt of a century ago and there dig deep for the a shea of tome hated democrat upon which to vent bis spirit of hate. So It Is not surprising that Jeflerton should be made a victim. The editor says: 'Jefferson rendered the country a Rood deal of real tervlce, and did It an Infinite deal of harm, tilt merit at author of the declaration of Independence haa been much essece rated. Ml that la striking lit the document wat "convened" by Jef ferson from a declaration Issued at Meck lenburg. N. O.i some time before. The voice ol the colonics would have found ex pression had Jefferson not existed, and very probably In clearer style and better tstt It Is a well-authenticated historical fact that Jefferson was the aafAur of the Dec laration of Independrnce.though federalists and those who wanted and continue to want to tct up a ttrona government modeled after the form of that of Great Britain hove attempted to deny It. Those who favor a centralised government have always antagonised Jefferson and the great principles of constitutional liberty at ex. pounded by him. These cenlrallsatlonUte want a centralized government In order that they may divest the people of their right to regulate thclrown domestic affairs in theli own way. For this reason they seek to discredit Jefferson. The 0tgoM would deprive Jefferson of the credit due him at author of the declaration of Inde pendence by saying that "the voice of the colonies would have found expression had Jefferson not existed and very probably In clearer style and better form." Thla It nonsense. Just as well attempt to snatch the laurels from Washington by saying that had he not lived the liberties of the American colonies would have as certain ly leen secured. The "style and form of the declaration was such at to tuit the sentiments and tastes of a liberty seeking people who were then making ready to pour their life blood In the great cause of resistance to tyrants then Impending. It was not a matter of concern to Jefferson whether the "stjte and form" of the dec laration suited the royal tastes of federal ists or not. They were not regarded as other than half hearted Mends ol the sue. ccst of that revolution that was to be the beginning of the scheme to establsh the eqality of men, In the establishment of government of the people, by the people and tor the people. And when the con stitution was formed he believed that through It came to congress all the power which It might lawfully exercise. He believed that the constitution was made to be observed under a strict construction. He believed, (and no one ha even been able to prove otherwise.) that congress can exercise no power except that that Is del egated to It by the state through the medium of a written constitution. This Is a great catdlnal principle of represen tative government, the essential and chief prep of a free governme. The real Jlfferencv between the doctrines of Jefferson and Hamilton was, and Is thut the former believed that the government should be in the hand of the masse of the people whl.e the latter would have made a government of aristocrat. Jeffer. ton believed that their was a vast differ ence between the post' exercised by the people through the state governments and that exercised by congress. That exercised by the state It Inhercn, original power, while that exercised by congress is dele gated power. A strict construction of the constitution will a'one dertermlne the line of demarcation between these powers. Hamilton was a liberal const rtlonlst. He believed that under the general "wel fare clause" congress might assume to ex ercise powers not delegated, We can now tee to what thes e assumption lead. Where Hamil-on in.poted tariff duties of 5 to 10 per cent, the modern federalist btve raised them to 50 and ioa per cent, an.l more, until the favored classes are rich enough to buy elections and own Urth th legislature and the executive. Even tbe most besotted federalirt members 01 tne first, second and third con gresses would have been startled if they could have foreseen that, following and bettering their instruction, the fifty-first congress would a brief century later, appropriate a roun J bill on of dollars from the j-ockets of the people, already depleied by the payment of at leas an equil sum during the s.im; period, direct to the "protected" monopolies. Such are the natura' and necessary frui'.s ol federalism of loose construction tbst is, o givirgthe administration i' own head, instead of requiring it to follow the te".cr of tl charter None of those excetst is possible under the Jeffersnnian system. Tbe rovernment can take nothing by taxation but that wLich is ab tolutely necessary to i't economical adminis tration. It bat no right to levy upon (he earnings or the aecnrcula ions of one flats for the benefit of another. It can appropriate public m ney only to the oljects sp-cified in me const tut ion. 1 itey bemg lew and inex pensive tbe expenditures are necessarily very ugnt, economy, Irugaiity, simplicity, oirncia. integrity and legislative and administrative morality are the necessary outgrowth o( Jeffer son ian principles. IX A HOLE. Mr M M 1 1 an is, secretary of the Tammany societyof Portland, sayi: "Our prospects, ow ing to the tariff itue, are very good to carry Oregon. We shall mike our tight on tariff rcfoim; not on free trade, mind you, for that would ruin the country, out on necetsry and legitimate tariff reform. This means, it may be supposed, that the "fight" will he made to put everything thst Oregon proluctson the free list, r-ut to continue protection to the eastern msnufacture-s. This was whst was meant here by the democracy in the last po litics! contes', by necessary sad legitimate tariff refoi m,"-Orefonian. Why does no: the OrtaniiM have the or dinary honesty to tell its readers that McKin ley did much Utter for the eastern manufactu rers than Mills propoted to do in his bill? Mc Kinley wcrtaied the average duty on woolen goods from CS to 91 per cent, while Mills in his ill provided for a reduction of from 68 to 40 per cent. Tbe same partiality was shown in cotton goods etc. The Oreonim like all protection papers finds itself in a hole hen it talks about the tariff. There Is refreshing candor In the declar. allon cf Congressman Buuellc, of Maine, that the passage of the Australian ballot law in that state Is "one of the most dam aging blows ever given to 'the solidarity and majority control of the republican party." Honest voting would make Maine a doubtful State and wonld make New Hampshire democratic. Taomas Bedford of. Iiendrickl county, ndUna, claims to be the oldast living Odd Fellow in the woild.
