OFFICIAL PAPER FOR BENTON COuriTY
THE DEFEAT TUESDAY THE FORERUNNER
OF SUCCESS IN 1S84.
The election returns from most
states where Arthur, Grant, Conk
ling, Cameron boism had interfered
to substitute machine politics for the
wishes of the people, show large and
increased democratic gains. These
several proprietors of the "306" ele
ment cannot learn without an actual
demonstration in a personal way as
. was had Tuesday that their political
. machine is worn out and no longer
wanted under any consideration.
The democratic party although in
clined to rejoice deserves no particu
lar merit for such large gains, because
they have offered nothing new to the
, people,, neither have they performed
anything so strikingly meritorous.
The cause of so great a change is to
be found in the ranks of the republi
can party wberent-tbe "bosses" seek
to substitute their obnoxious and
disgusting system of "bossism" for
well established republican princi
pies, having lor their object the pro
motion and perpetuation of the mer
cenary system of continuing them
selves and their henchmen in public
position, for the purpose of deriving
the benefits of the obnoxious spoils
system. When Garfield was nomi
inated over the vote of the "306" and
elected president as a conservative
man, under promises to the country
to weed out and exterminate from
republican politics "bossism" and the
organized system of plundering
through official position. After all
of this the chiefs of the "bosses" saw
proper to vote to each of the "306" a
brass collar for their steadfastness of
purpose in that contest.
If such a rebuke as the result of
laat Tuesday's election does not have
the effect ta legch the "necessary
but humiliating lesson" that their
services aro no longer wanted in the
manipulation of their political ma
chinery, it will probably be just as
weir, if not better, for the manage
ment of the government to go into
the hands of the democratic party,
for in that event the respectable and
patriotic portion of the republican
party will no longer be held respon
sible for the misdeeds of the officious
bosses and their lackies. It is, how
ever, nceaiess to entertain any ap
prehensions that such a task will be
forced upon the democratic party,
because with the achievements of the
republican party in the past and with
its well known policy of reform ad
vancement and in keeping progress
with the time?, it is pretty certainly
the case that there exists in the great
republican party more than an over
whelming sufficiency of patriotic
sons of this republic who will stand
by the inchangeable principles of
truth for the good of their country
until these vampires of "bossism" are
taught the severe lesson of expe
rience that they are no longer wanted
by politically laying them and all of
their henchmen on the high shelf
there to remain until Called for. It is
fortunate for the republican party the
presidential election is so far in the
future. Before that time arrives
sufficient opportunity for reflection
among the masses of the people will
have transpired so far that the lesson
will have been taught in unmistak
able terms which will have the effect
in 1884 to nominate a republican
.candidate for president who will car
ry into effect such plans as inaugura
ted by Garfield and he will be elec
ted. Then if the "bosses" don't kick
up another row for the purpose of
vindicating their schemes and there
by excite some crazy fool to assassi
nate the new president the country
will likely proceed nicely. And

THE LAW WHICH CALLS A DEBT SECURED
BYIHOETGAQE LAND.
The Oregonian of last Saturday
oo "Hams an arucie enuuea a JP utile
Effort,"' and is upon the subject of the
bill passed by the last legislature to
tax. mortgages in the county where
they are recorded. The article
alluded to proceeds upon the theory
that the bill was framed with the
riew ot oppressing the lender by re
quiring him to pay the taxe in the
county whore the mortgage is- se
cured and that the effect' of it will
prove burdensome to tri3 Borrower
nstead by being forced h r the lend
er to pv the taxes or elss fail to sc
c.V3 he loans-and- thai be Icnlr
burden upon lenders unless it is
claimed that these class of Portland
men do not pay any taxes under the
old system on their capital loaned.
Any other solution of the problem is
hardly conceivable because the taxes
in the borrowing counties are as t
rule, much less than they are in Mult
nomah, where, it is claimed by the
author of the article, that the money
comes from which it is sought to be
taxed by this law. Then we have it
that the first objection is solved be
cause the present law requires i
horde ot financiers to pay their por
tion of taxation when under the old
law they escaped it because if they
are disposed to pay their taxes like
honest men it cannot hamper them
to require mom to pay it m some
other county besides Multnomah.
The otherjdifficulty that the borrower
will have to pay the burdens im
posed by this law because the lender
is master of the situation and can
therefore dictate such terms as suits
him, is certainly untrue; because for
nearly two year.4 p.tst it has as many
times as otherwise been a favor for
the lender to get the opportunity to
place his means out in proper loans
and during that time borrowers hav
ing first class securities have dicta
ted terms about as often as borrowers
have. In fact for some time past
there has seemed to be quite a stir
plus of money seeking loans. Th
tables have changed how long it
may continue it is difficult to tell,
but it is evident that in Oregon there
is much more money to loan than
there are borrowers with first-class
security to take it.
The object of this law as we under
stand is not for the purpose of re
qnireing lenders or anyone else to
pay any unjust tax, but was intended
for the purpose of relieving the diffi
culty which has become so common
. . a . - a
among oiner tilings where a man
buys a farm agreeing to pay $8000
for it and pays down at the time
$5000 of the purchase price and bor
rows from the lender in some neigh
boring county $3000 with which to
pay the balance of the purchase
price, in a tew weeks after the pur
chase is made the assessor arrives on
his annual tour and values the laud
in the usual way at abont one-third
of its value, amounting to a little less
than 2700, and when he gets
through taking down the list of pro
perty and calls for the indebtedness
lie finds that the $3000 plaster whole
ly takes the farm out of considera
tion besides it somewhat reduces the
valuation from some of the personal
property. Whether the law under
consideration, however, affords the
best manner of remedying the diffi
culties for which it is intended, cer
tainly admits of much doubt. The
bill is certainly very bunglesoraely
framed. One would suppose at a
glance that it might have been much
improved upon. However a closer
examination might present "difficul

AN ALBANY DEALER IN REAL ESTATE.
The Albany Herald of last issue
says: "We would like" to trade off
the 17 bolters who betrayed their
party, for the dirt under Hon.
's little toe nail, and to
make the trade anywise agreeable to
Mr. we would be willing
to throw in the 'Gazette.' " And so
it seems some people will continue
displaying symptoms of great liber
ality about things that don't belong
to themjor in which they have no in
terest or 'concern. But fortunate
enough to all concerned the one who
becomes so recklessly liberal all at
once has no more trading interest or
control in the 17 alluded to than he
has in the Gazette:, and that per
haps more than anything else ac
counts for this iritable disposition so
much displayed during the last sixty
days. If the dictatorial of the one
who now displays such a reckless
desire to trade the 17 off for so little
dirt (but strong) had been taken by
them in full satisfaction to their con
science that they would have done
their duly to their constituents by
acting in accordance with such dic
tation, all would no doubt have been
peace and quiet over in Linn and

have felt happy. But when the 17
"bolted" from such dictation in or

their constituents all was wrong.

the people who sent them there.

Northern Prcific Prospects.
Vice President Oakes, of the Northern

people here in the metropolis of Montana,
for it assures me that the Northern Pacific
will do a good passenger business from this

main objects in building the road. Laugh

Washington," Nov . 6 The following self

been sent to the sugr firms of New York
by acting secretary French of the treasury
department. "This department is in re

the enclosure in relation to the admission
of sugar from the Sandwich islands anil
requesting that some other tribunal than
the collector of customs at San Francisco
decide as to what sugar may be imported
free of duty under the treaty with the Ha-
waaian government. In reply I have to
state that the report on the subject has been
requested from the collector of customs at
San Francisco, but that now he is author
ized by law or instructions from this de
partment to- decide whether the sugar to
which you reler as imported at New York
shall be treated as covered by the provis
ions of the treaty and a decision will be
made by the department after the facts
in regard to the matter has been ascer
tained." -
Washington,. Nov. 6. Dispatches re
ceived by the acting secretary of the navy
this morning from the commander of the

serious state of affairs there growing out of
the dissatisfaction among the sugar planters.
The planters have formed a protective union
andriKade'a protest to the king against the
selection of his cabinet. They urge a more
liberal and progressive policy: than is indi
cated by the king's movement. The king
in replying recognized the right of all to
make suggestions if they entertained any
grievance and assured the members of the
union that their appeal would be consider
ed. In the meantime there has been no
change in the situation and the king has is
sued a proclamation that he will be crowned
February 12th. The report further says
the matter will probably drift along until
coronation day-when the "indications point
to disturbances if the alleged evil is not
remedied. Complaints in the meantime of
the members of the union appear that the
general policy of the government is not suf
liciently liberal and they urge a better op
portunity for bringing labor and an adop
tion of a course to insure a continuation of
the reciprocity treaty with the United
States which is acknowledged has added so
largely to the wealth of the planters. The
