During the meeting of congress just closed, the important . ques tions which constitute the bases of both political organizations have been fully and ably discussed by the leading minds of the nation, and the positions of the two great parties clearly defined. The peo ple have been particularly anxious regarding the tariff, which is a dis tinctively American doctrine, and both parties have made pledges to the country. That the Mills bill the democratic measure was not satisfactory was clearly shown by the defeat of Mr. Cleveland during the last presidential campaign. His administration, during the pre vious four years, had placed itself in favor of free trade, or as nearly so as was possible to meet the ex penses of the government. On the contrary, the republicans ad vocated protection to American industries, and it received the ver dict of the ballot box. In 1892 the democrats will en ter the campaign opposed to the McKinley tariff and the silver bill passed by congress, and the repub licans will have these as the shib boleth of success. Of course the Lodge Election bill will be inde cently discussed in the canvas; but even if the republicans stand on this which was not passed there is no fear of defeat. The sentiment of the nation has been tested on several occasions, and there is no contradicting the state ment that it is intensely Amer ican, in favor of a convenient cur rency and equal rights to all citi zens. On these vital questions the republican party has placed itself on record, and there is no reason for it to stulify itself at the ballot box. The McKinley bill may not be suited to all classes in the United States, and it is hardly within the range of possibility that any measure, however care fully drawn, could be; but it meets the wants of the industries and producers of the nation nearer than any one presented in con gress for many years. As regards bi-metajlism, the measure passed by republicans is more nearly the desire of gold and silver men than anythin ever introduced by democrats. Mr. Cleveland held ' the doctrine of gold bugs, and was almost universally opposed by his party. Harmony has been secur ed in Republican ranks on this question, and we believe the peo ple are satisfied. Forfeiture of unearned land grants will no lon- gerbe a matter on which partisans j can make unfulfilled promises to the voters. Thanks to the repub lican congress this has been strick en from American politics, and the public domain is as it should be for the benefit of the home-seeker and home-builder. The next fight will not be waged on this question; but on the issue mentioned, and the republicans have made a glor ious record for themselves, of which they need not be ashamed. Several of the Jail states have been heard from, and the princi ples of the party of progress and protection are still triumphant. We predict the same result in those yet to be heard from, and these prognosticate the future. The republican party, so far has paved its way to the White House in 1892. and we can see no reason why the next presidential cam paign : shall not be as successful, and even more so, than any the republican party has enjoyed dur ing the last quarter of a. century. Times-Mountaineer. AROUSE, YE There is much truth in the fol lowing, which is, in a degree, ap plicable to Corvallis. There is in our city a drowsy element which enterprise must drag from its mossy habitues, very tenderly sponge from its eyes the accumu lations from a Van Winkle sleep, then accelerate its movements by holding, in front of its bewildered gaze, a bag of shining twenty-dollar peices. It seems necessary to manage this element much in the same way that the teamster in duced the mule to advance by suspending a wisp of hay in front of the creature. It is the purpose of the Gazette to arouse these snoozers from their apathy so that they may not be a stumbling block for enterprise. The Astorian says: 'Rapidly onward toward a glor ious success many a city is march- mg steadily along, oecause 01 tne live men within her borders who act in unison on every movement for the general good. Here in As toria where many are inclined to sit quietly dozing, because they believe that the industrious people of the world will of necessity come here without urging, as we have so many natural advantages, the procession marching "toward a glorious success" is moving slower than if keeping time to a funeral march. Even with all our natural advantages, without put ting forward earnest effort, the do minion of Satan will freeze hard enough lor a skating pond before Astoria will become a big city. Work and energy alone brings success, either to an individual or to a city." Taxation without representa tion is an evil in any free country, and representation without fair or equal taxation also merits con dem nation. The latter appears to be the trouble with Oregon, and some remedy should be applied at the next session of our legislature. There are hardly two officials m the state who follow the same rule in assessing the value of property. We understand that some divide the actual value by two, and some by three, etc. This makes the burden of taxation unequal in dif ferent portions of the state. A convention of assessors might formulate some plan to be adopted by the legislature which would equalize matters in this regard, and be perfectly satisfactory to tax payers. We have no doubt the assessors attempt to do what is right; but nntil a uniform rule is adopted there is certain to be in equality. Times-Mountaineer. Positive action has been taken by the directors of the New York Central railroad against the Knishts of Labor. Vice -Presi- dent Whh W arss nim.n lar to the various heads of depart ments of the road requesting them to inform their men that they can not remain members of the Knights of Labor and be in the employ of the road. The reason given is that the recent action of that order has heen 6uch that the officials of the road do not believe a member of the Knights can be of efficient service to the company, and all men who desire to remain in the order will not be kept in the employ of the road. Astor ian. At Bridgeton, New Jersey, there are six large canneries, and they pay to their 1000 employes and for vegetables and fruit $500, 000 a year. The district surrounding Salem is by far a better fruit and vegetable country, and the can nery business here "will grow in a few years to larger proportions than there. Talk about Salem's growth. It hasn't got half started yet Daily Statesman. A Brooklyn paper advocates free postage as a means of getting rid of the surplus. It is hardly necessary to say that their idea is not republican for it entirely disre gards the plan of devoting the sur plus to wiping out our debt. Al bany Herald. FRUIT RAISING. There is no doubt that the rais ing of wheat will continue to be, for many years to come, the main reliance for revenue of the agricul turalists of Oregon. But those who have only small holdings would do well to turn their atten tion to the raising of fruits of all kinds. As is well known, there is no part of the United States where the soil and climate are so well adapted to fruit culture as in the Willamette valley, and in South ern Oregon west ot the Cascade mountains. AH but tropical fruits nounsn wen, ana tne vieia is someining remarKame. mere is an immense market opening up for fruits right in front of us, to the eastward, which if we do not i 1 11 m make an effort to supply will be occupied by the enterprising or chardists of California. Between Oregon and Lake Michigan there will soon be a population of from five to ten millions that will be mainly dependent upon other sec tions for their supplies ot fruit, for which millions of dollars will be expended. This field should be supplied from Oregon, which has the advantage over other sections of the country in being situated nearer to the market, and is of course its natural source of supply. Fruit-growing can therefore be made a leading industry, next to that of wheat, in this valley. The demand that the cannery in Salem has made in one short season of an indifferent yield is a revelation to many people, and the result will no doubt be the stimulation of an industry that has been neglected of late years. There should be five hundred or a thousand car-loads of fine fruit sent to Chicago during the exhibition year, the effect of which on the future prosperity of Oregon would be incalculable. Statesman. An exchange says official reports indicate that the United States treasury's supply of small notes has given out, and though $9,000, 000 in $10 notes are now being printed, the sub-treasury in New York has been directed to ship no more small notes south or west for some time to come. Some people complain that their supply of both small and large notes has given out, and they will sympathize with the treasury. The undertakers of Oregon will meet in Portland on the 20th. Their organization was formed to reap the expected harvest of moss backs. But they have been disap pointed. The mossbacks of Ore gon are all getting well. They are beginning to take allopathic doses of enterprise and the moss is dis appearing. Statesman. Associate Justice Miller, of the U. S. supreme court, died of paralysis on the lSth inst. He was 74 years of age, and had been on the bench twenty-eight years, having been appointed by Lincoln in 1862. Justice Miller was re garded as the best authority on constitutional law in the United States. After eluding the officers of several counties in Alabama, many of whom have some of his lead in . their bodies, Rube Bur rows, the notorious outlaw and train robber has been killed. The dispatch says the outlaw's death has caused much excitement. Instead of excitement, great re joicing should be indulged in, for Burrows was superior to Jessie James, in that he was more blood thirsty. The appropriations made by the first session of the Fifty-first Con gress were $361,31 1,503. The per manent annual appropriations for the year 1890-91 amounted to $101,628,453, making a grand total for the year of $462,939,956, an increase over the Fiftieth Congress of $40,313,613. General E. N. Belknap died in Washington on the 13th, of heart disease. General Belknap was secretary of war under President Grant. SKINS ON FIRE with Itching, Burning, Bleeding Eczemas Instantly Relieved by Cuticura Remedies. Our little son will be four years of age on the 25th inst In May 1S85, he ws attacked witu a very paiuful breaking out of the fekin. We called in a physician, who treated him for about four weeks. The child received little or no good from the treatment, as the breaking out, supposed by the physician to be hives in an aggravated form, became larger in blotches, and more and more dis tressing. We were frequently obliged to get up in the night and rub him with soda in water, strong liniment, etc. Finally, we called other physicians, until no less than six had attempted to cure him, all alike failing, and the child steadily getting worse and worse, until about the 20th of last July, when we began to give him Cuticura Re solvent internally, and the Cuticura and Cuticura Soap externally, and by the last of August he was so nearly well that we gave him only one dose of the Resolvent about every second day for about ten days longer, and he has never been troubled since with the horrid malady. In all we used less than one half of a bottle of Cuticura Rk solvent, a little less than one box of Cuti cura, and only one box of Cuticura Soap, H. E. RYAN, Cayugo, Livingstone Co., 111.
