A Portland man has been fined
fifty dollars for whipping his dog.
l'hose who whip their wives get
off easier. East Oregonian.
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.

says make the most of the first. All our seeds are
tested and warranted reliable and pure. If your

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

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.
