FOREIGN LABOR.
There has been no time in tha
History of this country when the
labor question was in need of such
careful and immediate attention
as at present. Thousands of very
poor and incompetent laborers are
already saving their scanty earn
ings in order to come to America
in 1893, if not before. Chicago is
already overrun with a horde of
lazy and ignorant Hungarians,
Italians and Poles, who have not
come in search of an opportunity
to earn a living, but to prey upon
the visitors at the great fair. The
time has passed when the United
States can be the asylum for the
blind and deformed, and still worse
the morally deficient, who are cast
out by their parent country. The
natural effect of this clanish horde
that is daily pouring into our
midst and mingling with our re
spectable labor, is to lower and
degrade our own citizens and
deprive them of their rights, inoc
culate them with the spirit of
anarchy and lawlessness. The
time has come for the bars to be
made higher and the gates more
closely examined.
On account of the weight of this
easily handled mass that this na
tion gives the ballot, it is becom
ing next to impossible ior an
American workman in the large
cities to obtain labor. And for a
government to allow, not to say
invite, this element to our shores
to the impoverishment and degra
dation of its citizens is almost
criminal. It is a breach of the
implied contract a nation makes
with every one of its citizens. A
unrinn. na well as an individual
must be just before it attempts to
be generous. And no government
can claim to be just so long as
lionest and competent labor is
imem ployed, and unprotected Irom
such contamination as must result
from the assimilation of this lazy,
vermin-infested, anarchy-breeding
scum from the scrofulous and lep
rous nations of the earth. It is
time to awake and act or the day
is near at hand when labor in Free
America will not be respectable.

HIS NAME IS DENNIS.
Sylvester Pennoyer, the govern
or of the state of Oregon, is indeed
a curious conglomeration of ideas.
He has exercised his power to veto
bills right and left, but has not
been consistent. Two years ago
he approved the district fair bill
with an appropriation of $3000
each, annually. This year when a
bill of the same nature appears
repealing the old law and creating
a western district composed of the
counties west of the Willamette
he vetoes it. His veto does not
effect the districts already created,
as the old law is still in effect
regarding them. His veto simply
kills the western district. He ve
toes the bill because of "local
reasons." We would like to know
by what process of reasoning he
conciliates his conscience to veto
ing . this bill and approving the
portage railway bill. In both
instances the state funds are appro
priated for local purposes. While
we all acknowledge the fact that
the portage railway will be of ben
efit directly to the section of the
state tributary to the river, why
won't the district fair be of benefit
to the state in the same proportion
as the amount appropriated. He
also vetoes the free road to Tilla
mook across the Coast range of
mountains. From the mouth of
the Columbia to Yaquina bay there
are many roads, but all are toll
roads, and in the building of some
of them the state has appropriated
as high as $10,000, and still allows
the roads to remain in the hands
of the people who built themand
the people who travel to and fro
over them are taxed so much per
mile for theiu pleasure. But when
this section desires to open a land
way of commerce not a water
way and asks for an appropria
tion for $7500 to build it with and
thus make a free road to everyone,
at all times of the year, and by far
the most practical route across the
mountains, this crank which we,
as democrats, supported for the
position which he now holds, ve
toes this bill and thus pays into
the hands of a monopoly thous
ands of the hard earned dollars of
the honest and law-abiding farm
ers and business men of Tillamook
and Yamhill counties, as well as
the other indirectly benefited coun
ties of the state. If Pennoyer
objects to -the- appropriation of
state funds for local purposesvwhy
does he support the portage rail
way? If the opening of the Colum
bia river and the opening of the
free road to Tillamook are not both
local matters to the sections of
country directly benefited we
would be pleased to have the
astute and abstract Pennoyer ex
plain why the free road is and the
portage railway is not. The hand
writing has appeared on the wall,
dear governor, and in letters ' of
Roman, "Your name is Dennis."

PRICE OR CHEAPNESS.
It is becoming generally known
that low prices and cheapness are
not synonymous terms. The dif
ference between the standards of
the democratic and republican par
ties is well marked. The demo
cratic policy is that everything
should be cheap; cheap . labor,
cheap goods, cheap schools,
cheap men, cheap talk. The . re
publican plan is to give the labor
er pay for his work sufficient to
enable the purchase of good goods.
Not the dollars and cents expend
ed, but the amount of time and
labor needed to purchase an article
is that upon which its cheapness
should be judged.
The facls are that Americans
buy and use more woolen clothing,
meat, wheat bread, etc., per capita
than the citizens of any other na
tion. They do hot do this because
things are so much cheaper here,
but because they have the recom
pense of their labor with which to
buy. More American citizens have
a little saving for the time of need
that is liable to come to all human
ity; more men have a competency
saved before they are past their
prime than those of any other na
tion. In no other nation is it im
possible to distinguish the laboring
men from the wealthy by their
dress, when not actually at work.
The American, as a rule, is a well
dressed prosperous appearing man.
It has ever been the policy of
the democratic party to bear a
false standard, and at present that
standard is cheapness. In every
time of great and unusual compe
tition, prices fall, and those who
must sell are the losers. The work
ing man must sell his labor, and
at what is offered by the purchas
er. He is farthest from market
who has nothing to sell, hence the
necessity of a market for all labor,
as it is the sole capital of the work
ing man. Globe-Republican.
ARE THEY UNAVOIDABLE!
The number of accidents caus
ing the death of scores and hun
dreds of human beings in a sin
gle moment have been so great
that one cannot fail to wonder if
there is not some general cause
tor these oft repeated, disasters in
every sphere of active life. Ac
counts of mine horrors, railway
collisions, destructive, floods, loss
of life by fire and tailing buildings
form a large portion of the matter
in our daily papers. Is science
failing to provide a way to guard
against the ner and constantly in
creasing dangers of life and prop
erty that arise with every great
invention, or are we, as a people,
becoming careless of our lives in
our struggle for wealth and posi
tion; are we failing to recognize
the natural laws known to all, and
growing more refdy to take the
chances of paying a heavy penalty
for their violation?
Towering structures in our large
cities now count their stories by
the dozens, and one has hardly re
moved the debris caused by the
fall of one before another of still
greater height is building upon
the same Spot. Year after year
come the same heartrending re
ports of loss and destruction by
floods and broken dikes, and
scarcely has the flood subsided ere
the remnants of families are re
pairing or rebuilding their destroy
ed residences and factories, striv
ing hard to complete them in time
for the next flood to complete the
work of the first. There is an un
doubted " error v: somewhere, and
natural causes - are not willing to
take the blame.
It costs five ceuts to swear in a
certain Grand Rapids factory, and
the box which contains the fines,
and which is now nearly full is
soon to be sent to the heathen. It
is strange that it has not occurred
to the home missionaries to devote
the contents of the box to the
work of converting the profane
employes: of the Grand Rapids
factory, so that there may be no
use for such a receptacle hereafter.

m CAPFUL PSORIASIS
Covering Entire Body with White
Scales. Suffering Fearful.
Cured by Cuticura.
My disease (psoriasis) first broke out on
my left cheek, spreading across my nose,
and almost covering my face. It ran into
my eyes, and the physician was afraid I
would lose my eyesight altogether. It
spread all over my head, and my hair all
fell out until I was entirely
bald-headed; it then br ike
oat on my arms and shoul
ders, until my arms were
just one sore. It covered
my entire body, my face,
head and shoulders heiiig
the worst. The white scabs
fell constantly from my
head shoulders aiid arm?;
the skin would thicken and
be red and very itchy, and
would crack and bleed if siratched. After
spending many hundreds of dollars, I was
prouonnced incurable. I heard of the Outi
cura Remedies, and after using tno bottles
Cuticura Resolvent, I could see a change;
and after I had taken four bottles I was al
most cured; and when I had used six bottles
of Cuticura Resolvent, one box of Cuti
cura, and one cake of Cuticura Soap, I
was cured of the dreadful disease from
which I h:td suffered for live years. I can
not express with a pen what I suffered be
fore using the Remedies. They saved my
life and I feel it my duty to recommend
them. My hair is restored as good as ever,
and so is my eyesight.
