WHERE IT HITS THE FARMERS.
When the democrats were plan
ning their tariff scheme they
were loud in expressing their de
termination to open "the markets
of the world" to all American
products. They Avere especially
strong in their promises to the i
Council Proceedings.
An interesting and well at

SURRENDER OR FIGHT.
The controversy between this
nation and England seems to be
narrowing down to a definite
issue. It is somewhat difficult to
arrive' at the real status of the
affair, for in the telegraphic re
ports so many surmises and con
jectures are mixed in with the
real facts. However, at the pres
ent time It seems that either one
or other of the two countries
must recede from its present
position in order to avoid war.
If the most authentic reports
obtainable are true England says
it wont arbitrate, while the United
States declares England must
submit to arbitration the territory
at present in dispute or reliu
quish all claims thereto.
We have been taught that war
is a terrible thing, a national
calamity. We have realized that
such lessons are true. We are
even yet in the shadow of the
war of thirty years ago, yet it is
doubtful if the average American
would not rather welcome a call
to arms and find sweet music in
the alarum of the army bugle.
The mildest mannered of us
would certainly prefer war to a
back down on the part of Uncle
Sam.
A SILLY MATTER.
legislature was in his seat. In
farmers, picturing the nations of i addition to the regular business
the world drawing on the surplus
from the great industry of Amer
ican agriculture. It has been
shown that under the new order
of things American manufactur
ers have lost some of their foreign
markets, and at the same time
have had to compete with greatly
increased importations of foreign
manufacturers. The farmers
have fared even worse, and no
small portion of the present agri
cultural depression can be traced
to this source. The Gorman
Wilson tariff law went into effect
late in August, 1894, and, there
fore, a comparison of the figures
for the year preceding and the
year following September 1, 1894,
gives a fair idea of the operation
of the McKinley law and the
democratic "bill of sale." The
following table tells the story:
In the last issue of the Gazette
appeared an item concerning Mr.
Ixmis South worth in which that
gentleman was quoted as believ
ing that the county division was
an unwise movement. A paper
calling itself the Lincoln County
leader comes at the Gazette
with a wonderful deluge of vile
English and the most daring of
ungrammatical sentences. It de
clares to the Gazette a few
facts which we are most truly
thankful to know. It obligingly
informs us that the county di
vision is an accomplished fact.
The editor of the L,eader is a
profound student and points out
the page in the session laws of
'93 wherein may be found the
act. He tells the Gazette that
this paper "can not turn back
the scroll of time and obliterate
from the pages, of history this
actual fact."
We have never tried. We,
however, accept the editor of the
Ieader as authority on the
"turning back" proposition as
he has very little to do but ex
periment. The leader rather
unwisely indulges in what it
Intends as sarcasm concerning
"broken down political hacks."
Such an attack on the pillars of
its county is downright treason.
What else was Lincoln county
organized for but as an asylum
tor a tew homeless and worn out
politicians? For shame, Mr.
Leader man;don't smite the hand
that feeds you!
However, all this is absolutely
illy. That little Toledo oyster
paper can't see beyond the rock
it's clinging to. Mr. Southworth
was not the spokesman for the
Gazette. He has a right to
his opinions and is a man worth
quoting. ie saia ne was sorry
01 the county division and he
certainly has a right to be sorry
if he wants to. But what has this
to do with the Gazette ? This
paper was left on the east side of
the division line and has no
proper cause for kicking. We
are not kicking, and don't have
to kick, the little Leader to the
contrary notwithstanding.
The Gazette has no fight
whatever to make on Lincoln
county. This paper is always
ready and willing to aid the de
velopment of our sister county
by any means at our command.
It has ever lifted up its voice in
behalf of the completion of the
Yaquina harbor improvements,
T ' . . . .
.Lvincoin county certainly nas a
bright future but it needs several
things that will aid it materially
on the road to prosperity. It
should have a newspaper that is
liberal, enterprising, capable and
respectable. One that is not
owned by the little coterie of
petty politicians that attempts to
control the destiny of the county.
; It should also rid itself of that
self same set-the ring that man-
ages the affairs of the county to
their own aggrandizement. j

it was expected that some action
would be taken lookinsr toward
the removal of the chief of police
and nightwatchman for their
extraordinary misbehavior on the
night of Nov. 30th. This brought
a number of interested spectators
to the meeting conspicuous
among whom were numerous
aspirants who are anxious to fill
the vacancies should the present
police officers be removed
Among those present who are
said to be willing to dou the
official garb of the chief of police
were Frank Turney and C. B.
Wells. The position of night
watchman, however, seems to be
more eagerly- sought after there
being at least seven candidates
in the field. Those spoken of in
this connection are Fred Oberer,

Here is an increase of nearly
100 per cent in. the imports of
articles coming into direct com
petition with the products of
American farms, and coupled
with it is a loss of nearly 20 per
cent in the export trade. The
direct loss to the American farm
ers' market from this source alone
is more than $125,000,000.
Small wonder that agriculture is
depressed, when in a single year
it is deprived of the sale of that
amount of produce. The farmer,
as well as everyone else, is pay
ing a big price for the experiment
with democratic management.

The projectors of the Wilson-'
Gorman tariff bill prophesied
that at this time the country
would be in possession of a com
fortable surplus. Instead of that
there is a deficit of $70,000,000.
When they said "country," they
must have meant some other
nation than America.
Charges have been preferred
against the chief of police and
the nightwatchman by a number
of reputable citizens and business
men. The matter is now in the
hands of the men who are sworn
to look after the interests of the
city. The accused are entitled
to a fair trial and will no doubt
be given every opportunity to
prove their innocence, but if the
evidence sustains the charges it
is believed that every councilman
will do his whole duty.
Taxpayers of Benton county
will consider the burden of a
regular session of the circuit
court a seriously heavy one as
they examine the bill of ex
penses. There seems to be an
unnecessary waste or extrava
gance somewhere that business
like methods can cure. The
county court is not responsible
for under the present system it
has little or no power to even
audit the bills but must oav all
claims as sworn in. The circuit
judge certainly should look after
this matter of expense a little
more closely. He is in part to

Editor Gazettjc:
Notwithstanding the intent to keep from
public mention the erection ofa residence on
4th street, allow me to me express thanks
for your very complimentary notice. The
many left-handed comments flung at mo on
account of the venture, certainly call for
some explanation. I do not object to mild
and just criticism, but when on is repeatedly
reminded of his short comings by such en
dearing throws, as: "I thought you had
more sense than to build these hard times!"
"You must be crazy!" - "Who' going to
get this one?" 'I admire your energy, but
butdisaprove your judgment,'? and soon, in
such admirable terms ss has caused me to
wonder what inventory of words can relieve
the monotony, and such unearned persecu
tion. To these I would say. it is I who
should be surprised at your stupidity. Any
one, whoso head is not filled with sawdust.
must surely have (either by exDerienco or
observation) realized that we have had near
ly three years of democratic hard time and
idleness, that can only be replaced with re
newed prosperity, so wa are told, by a return
to republican rule. This, no one can doubt.
as evidenced by the recent elections in the
east. Bob Ingersol has said, when Kentucky
goes republican he can be converted to Chris
tianity. With Eobert a Christian and Ken
tucky republican, what fears havo we that
great waves of prosperity will not follow.
O.'ye republicans of much faith, why stand
yo idle? Do away with your pessimestie
and disgruntled ideas. You old cheese, get
a wiggle on yourself and prepare for tho
rush. We hoar aiready the roaring sound
1116 dashing waves against the eastern
slope of the reckies, and should they not
meet with the fate of being snow-bound and
find an unwelcome grave in the depths of the
many great canyons, by the floods of melt
ing snows in the early sunshine of spring,
we must expect to be deluged with the long
promised and much desired return of pros
perity." j
In conclusion it might bo well to add that
the structure will be pushed to compleeion as
rapidly as possible, and should the exoected
wave fail to cross the summit, oj meet with
serious delay, I will contribute the building
to the use of a home forthedisamointed and
and dissatisfied democrats and republicans
whose erring minds have so fitted them for
the asylum by becoming populists.
