The Eugene cannery put up about 13,000 pounds of cherries and received one order for 2,000 cases, or nearly eight times the amount of their pack. There is no trouble abont a market for Oregon cherries. At Plymouth, Pa., on the 20th ult., the Edwards- tin plate plant began operations. For the pre sent one-set of baths is employed, turning out 500 boxes of roofing sheets a week. Other baths are under way, however, and the num berwill be increased to six, so that the total capacity of the plant will be 3,000 boxes a week. The fact is not so well known as it should be that there is an organ ization known as the Women's ltepublican Association, which is doing work for the cause in this campaign. Mrs. J. Ellen Fuster is chairman, and the headquarters are at the Elsemere Hotel, Wash injrton D. C, where all letters concerning its business should be addressed. Whex a hen lays an egg she cackles. When a man gets on a new stock of goods it is human for him to crow over at. When a hen cackles people know that she has laid in some stock and feels rather proud of it. When the merchant opens op his new 6tyles and blows his trumpet in the newspapers, people know that he has something on hand worth advertising and patronize liim accordingly. Ex. Republicans in this campaign will remember the words of James G. Blaine: "The resolution, en ergy and persistence which marked the proceedings of the convention at Minneapolis willT if turned against the common foe, win the election in November. All minor differences should be merged in the duty of every republican to do all in his power to elect the ticket this day nominated by the nation al repnblican convention." There is at least one man in the Northwest that deserves praise, and he is the- marshal of Eugene. He has posted notices, saying: "Notice is hereby given to all property holders that they are re quired to cut all thistles on their property, and in the streets adjoin ing, immediately. If they neglect so to do, the thistles will be cut by the marshal, at the expense of such property holders." Every road overseer should post the same &nd of a notice on his road dis trict and follow up the notice with execution. The: democrats are already try ing to "hedge" on the free trade planjc of their platform. This was made-manifest to all by the selec tion ef William F. Harrity, of Pennsylvania, to be chairman of their national committee. Harrity was prominent among the sup porters of the late Sam. Kandall, the uian who kept the democratic party off the free trade rocks for so many years. Republican man agers smile at this acknowledge ment of weakness, and will see that the free traders are not allowed to sneak out of the issue they deliberately made. The governor of Oregon receives $1500 per year salary. No one xnmKs or. mm as being a poor down-trodden laborer who is op- pressed by the iniquitous McKinley law, and yet there is not one of the 325 men whose wages were reduced by the Carnegie company who" was not receiving a third more salary than the governor of Oregon and some of then were re ceiving more than three times as much. , The barons of labor in this instance' seem to outnumber the "barons of capital." There may be instances where labor is down trodden, even in our own country, hatthisis certainly not a good illus tration of that condition of affairs. ALL FOR PROTECTION. Wherever there has been a re publican - convention this year, there has been an unanimous voice for protection. In every county, in every state, and in the great national assembly of the party the same unity of sentiment was shown. In each then the tariff was made the central plank of the platform, and the words "Protec tion" and "Reciprocity" were written. in letters of living light. Reciprocity rests upon pro tection and is dependent- upon it. With free trade there could be no reciprocity. Protection, therefore, is the main support of the com mercial policy of the republican party, and the unanimity with which it has been everywhere supported is impressive in the manifestation of popular harmony. It is not without good cause that this harmony prevails. Protection has filled the country with mills and forges and factories, has opened mines and built railways, has created towns and cities out of the soils of prairies and out of the turf of woodlands; it has brought, the republic, in less than half a century, from the condition of that of the. poorest to that of the richest ot civilized nations. In the brief interval when free trade, or anti-protection, legislation has been in iorce, panic has swept the country and, want has sat beside the scanty fires of wage-earning house-holders. But whenever protection has been dominant work has been plentiful,- wages satisfactory, wealtll move equita bly diffused than in other coun tries, and prosperity has been uni versal. The evidences of the benefits of protection are around us on every side. We can see them abroad by contrasting the poorly paid English laborer with Ithe well-to-do American working- man. We can see them at home by contrasting- the condition of those states where there is no diversity of industry and where the people rely on low wages for home work and import all their manufactured products; with those other states where the industries are diversified, wages are high and all classes of the people pros perous. The prosperous states are republican states. They are for protection. It is with gratifi cation that we can include onr state among them. Our people know what protection has done for them, and knowing it they will join the grand multitude of Amer icans whose harmonious senti ments have been expressed in the national platform of the republi can party. San Jose Mercury, . The people of the drouth-afflict ed districts of Texas are calling for assistance through Governor Brown, who declares that famine will be inevitable unless relief be received. Of course it is prosaic and unromantic to send relief to our own countrymen. It appeals more strongly to the dramatic in human nature to dispatch a steam er across the ocean', previously blessed by a posturing preacher, to be received at its destination with salvos ot artillery, banquets and gifts of silver and gold; but while doing this we should not forget the plain, practical charity at home. Calamity has been rife in America this year, and has not received the attention it deserves. , Our own countrymen have been neglected in their distress while relief has been sent to a foreign land. The governors ot several states have ap pealed for aid, the last appeal comingfrom Texas. No notoriety nor silver presents await the one who works to send aid to the 'famine threatened people of south western lexas, but such a stimulus should not be needed. Canada knows by this time that when the president threatened to retaliate- for the unjust discrim ination against American vessels using Canadian water ways, he he was not making a "bluff," but was giving - a friendly warning. Congress has, practically without opposition in either house or sen ate, passed the bill authorizing the president to retaliate upon Cana dian vessels by levying toll or by shutting them out of St. Marys Fall Canal, as he may deem best. The new law is a harsh one, or it may be made such in its bearings upon Canadian interests; but it is still in the power of Canada to I take such action as will . prevent the President exercising the authority just conferred upon him. The sower has no second chance, common sense says make the most of the first. All our seeds are tested and warranted reliable and pure. If your dealer does not keep our seeds, send to us. If he does handle our seeds HE HAS THE PROOF, ask for it. A BAD YEAR. All the evidence at hand shows this is going to be a bad, sad year for the calamity prophets of both parties. Their occupation is gone and there will de nothing for them to do in the campaign but to pre- 1 ! 1 ! serve a -decent suence or uewan the country's universal and exas perating prosperity. There is simply nothing for them to grumble about. The business of the country is in a provokingly healthy and flourishing condition. Imports during the fiscal year-ending June 30 were .greater than those of any former year, amount ing to $833,000,000, while exports also exceeded the highest record and reached the enormous aggre gate of $1,027,000,000. Railroad earnings for the first six months of the year are greater then those for any similar period in history, and the output of manufactures has been greater than ever before. Business failures for the first half of the present year have been 1000 fewer in number and $40,000 000, less in gross liabilities than they were during the correspond ing, period of 1891. New indus trial enterprises for manufacturing iron, cotton and woolen fabrics are going into operation in various see tions, and while the margin of profits is small business is on a solid foundation, and the outlook in' every direction is hopeful and encouraging. - The grain crop is promising, money is abundant and collections are easier. In the face of such a condition of things the calamity howler must remain silent. His howling will scare nobody, not even him self, for he is too smart not to realize that the coun try is in a marvelously prosper ous condition, and likely to continue so, no -matter which party wins in November. No party can undo the work of nature in the harvest fields or destroy the splendid accumulations of enter prise and business sagacity. The country is so large and parties are so small as compared with the influence of the commercial insti tutions of the nation that the sue cess of this party or the defeat of that one can no longer be re garded as a disaster, or a threat of disaster, to national prosperity. The country is all right, and if any thing is wrong it is one party or the other, or both. ' A campaign free from gloomy forebodings and solemn warnings will be a refreshing change from the contests of former years. It will be a spirited, reasonable, cheerful struggle between men who are sensible enough and pa-inf triotic enough to acknowledge that the country will not go to ruin in any event, and that her destinies, institutions and manifold interests will be just as jealously guarded by one party as by the other. . The pessimist, accustomed to admonishing us that things will go to smash unless their particular party wins, will not be heard, in tho campaign. They can find nothing in" the present condition of the country to justify or excuse the smallest cawrhity howl. They can't shout against universal prosperity, and their massive silence will be A one; of the pleasantest and most' eloquent features of the campaign now about to open. N. Y Herald. In an article in the May Forum Edward Atkinson says: "There never has been a period in the his tory of this or any other country when the general rate of wages was as high it is now, or the prices of goods relatively to the wages as low they are to-day, or a period when workman, in the the - strict sense of the word, has so fully se cured to his own use and enjoy ment such-a steadily and progres- sively increasing proportion of a 'constantly increasing ' . product. That is the way the tariff works. Tested and will grow. 20S and 2IO A well-informed business man of Western Pennsylvania writes to the New York Tribune: "Business has taken me to England many times from 1880 to date. I ob served that many things supposed to cost more in America than else where because ot the protective tariff are really as cheap here as in England. Notably, carpenters' tools, farming tools' and builders' hardware. To satisfy myself I brought with me last month a lot of samples bought at three differ ent hardware stores in a town of 12,000 in an agricultural district. On comparison 1 find that in farm ing tools American prices are about the same . for better goods, in builders hardware a lower price lor better goods, and in carpenter's tools, where possible to compare them American prices are not higher than the English." That is the kind of evidence which convinces voters of the utility of protection. . The home industries flourish and v offer diversified em ployment to a population that needs it. The prices of carpenters' tools, building hardware and farm ing implements are often lower here than they are abroad, and never higher. The producer has the trade of the home market, and the consumer has the benefit of the low prices. Nobody is taxed and there is work for American workmen, That is the outcome of what the democracy condemns as "a system of public robbery and jobbery." The craze which an epidemic often starts is one of the curios ities of mental energy. Let a dis ease become general, and means be taken to prevent its spread, and a popular feeling of opposition is aroused which develops into pos itive enmity for the officials who are striving to preserve the public health. This is seen in small-pox cases and when diphtheria is prev alent, when attempts to isolate the stricken patients are resisted some times to the extent of bloodshed and murder. The cholera is at the present time quite prevalent in Russia, and in one city the infuri ated people rose against the doc tors and nurses, killing them with out mercy, releasing the patients and destroying the hospitals. The people appear to have gone clean crazy with the excitement of the situation and have been guilty of horrible atroc ities. It can easily be believ ed when one considers how excit able the ueoole are. ana how in j- j- more enlightened districts this same phase of mental aberration affects people. When these waves O;rmonf nrA roll in r in. noth i v VAVitviiiviih - v 7 ing can be done but allow them to subside and for reason to re sume its sway. Then, and only then, may steps be taken to over come the disease. The condition of the people - where this insanity prevails is indeed deplorable. Democrats have been arguing that the product of the Homestead mills is protected, and therefore protection is responsible for the riot and bloodshed there. There is free trade in the Droduct of silver mines. Therefore free trade is re sponsible for the riot and bloodshed among the silver miners of Idaho according .to. the. arguments of the democrats. : Democratic editors ought to be at work showing why no measures should be taken against the intro auction of cholera. Such steps can be shown to be "ag'in the Oonstitooshun." Besides it inter feres with natural law to set up quarantine stations against the im portation of this cheap foreign Droduct. If we are to have free trade let us be consistent. A SUCCESSFUL REMEDY FOR RHEU- MAXISM.
