The issues ot the riext national
campaign are very clearly outlined
and the people have been quite
thoroughly educated in them.
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.

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

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

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

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,

lief, permit rest and sleep, and point to a
permanent and economical (because so
speedy cure, and not to use them, without

inhumanity. tiO greater legacy can be be
