CORVALLIS, OREGON, Dec. 16, 189S
Secretary Bliss, oi the Depart
ment of the Interior, has resigned,
an J there is talk of Binger Her
mann being appointed to the place.
Uivlc Sam stands ready with
hatchet and nails in hand to spike
the American H;i on the mast of
every vessel employed in the mer
chant, marine as soon as congress
gives him permission.
John Sherman is opposed to ex
pansion. There was a lime when
he wieided a power! ul influence
in the affairs of the nation, but that
time has long since passed. lie is
ijow 77 years 01 age and cannot he
expected to exhibit the vigor of tor
nier years. McKinley did a wise
thiiur when he paved I he w:iy for
his resignation as secret ary of state.
He never ought to have been lit his
cabinet.
President McKinley is showing
good statesmanship in putting our
new possessions under control ol
the military arm of the govern
ment. It will prove a boomerang
to the many politicians who expect
sof t jobs and good pay.
Our new territory will be treated
justly under this plan. Enemies
of good government will meet
with prompt rebuk and prompt
punishment for crime. The weal',
vili be protected against the av-:i-
ricious and strong and affairs
will be so efficiently administered
that thv resp60! and. Obedience ?t
all will soon bo obtained.
Tlie nation Will ltrirn to appreci-1

prosper without fear of being
robbed of the results of their bus

to block the car of progress, but
they cannot stay the hand ol

AN URGENCY MEASURE.
The platform upon which President
McKinley was elected pledged the Re
publican party to a protective tariff.
That pledge has been redeemed by the
prompt enactment of the Diugley bill,
which has done much towards accom
plishing the ends sought by the meas
ure, namely, to open the mines and fac
tories and furnish employment for the
idle. It has don- much more than its
staunchest supporters had even hoped
for it, in enabling our manufacturers
to not only furnish our home markets
but to sell in foreign markets the fruits
of American industry. This grand re
sult has been attained during the past
year, evidenced by a balance of trade in
our favor f $61$, 000,000, the largest in
our history.
One pledge in the platform adopted by
the National Republican Convention at
St. Louis ard indorsed by the president
in his letter of acceptance, as yet stands
unfulfilled. That i", the plank referring
to the protection of the American tner
chant marine. It is as follows:
"We favor restoring the early Amen
can policy of discriminating duties for
the upbuilding ef our merchant marine
and the protection of our shipping in the
foreign carrying trade.
Mr. McKinley stood upon tl-;is plat
form, and in his letter ef acceptance of
the nomination mentioned it in plain,
unequivocal language in these words:
"The uoliev of discriminating duties
in favor of our shipping, which prt-
j vailed in the t-arly
years of our history,
' shon'd be again promptly adopted by
congress and vieorouslv supported unti'
our prestige and supremacy on the seas
i.i fully attained."
The voters in November, 1896, sanc
tioned the utterances of the Republican
party and its nominee for president by
a large majority of both the e'ectoral
college and the popular vote, aHd elected
a congress with the largest Republican
majority in sei r.ral years. The instruc
tion to carry oxt this policy was empha
sized by the entuusiam ot the masses
of our countrymen when the news
flashed across C-.e land thr.t McKinley
was chosen the executive of the nation.
The platform represented the crystal
ized sentiment of the Republican party
OH the subject and the party eanuot say
have faithfully administered the trust
committed to our keeping if it shall fal
'.short of ndoptitig such a liberal policy
jand making it effective by proper legisla-
tive enactments as will fully restore our
Merchant marine t? the important and
highly useful position contemplated in
the utterances of the party at !nt Lsnis.
There is no half way ground, no tem
porizing, no unnecessary delay or com
promise measures that will meet ti:e
requirements of the case or satisfy the
demands of the cainitry, much less coit
viuce the adherauts of the party that
they have uot been trifled with.
This pledge must be speedily and hon
estly redeemed. The policy of discrimi
nating duties has made England mistress
of tha seas.
The need for the discriminating duties
favoriug our merchant i-.iarine is far
more important now than when uttered
at St Louis.
Our domain has larg .ly increased as a
result -f the Spanish war. Our trade will
consequently iusrease, and this large
trade must be carried in American ships
flying the Stars and Stripes. Instea. of
allowing foreign vessels tb carry eighty
per cent of our exports and imports,

all this ii'imet;s freigi. ;

thus putting the party square on its p blic
utterances before tht country.
An Answer.
Editor Gazette I would like
s jace in your valuable publication
for a few words in self defense.
In an article over my signature
I in tha Gazette of November IS, I
! made a statement regarding a row
: between two young l.-d of this
j place. In it I did not place blame,
j neither did I -side in" with either
! I kept in the middle of the road,
' so far as the fierhl was concerned,
i and only took a stand in the right
j direction when I called attention
(o certain acts of the father, an ex
preacher.
I stated in my notes, the follow
were bought, and lastly I men
turned that the father was an ex
preacher. Each and every o e of
the above statemenis are true and
annot be successfully contradict
ed by anyone, and furl her, they
are the statements contained in
my ariicle of November 18. It is
not "one side". It is a correspond
eni's report.

When become to the fourth and
j lifih, he finds facts he cannot
jdeny, so begins to abuse, and latvr
to try to pass the whole business
oil as a jest. Yet mv every slate
ment stands, and can be proven
before a jury if need be.
One truth he adds which is, "a
reporter stands as a juror before
the people," tc. For over ten
years, I hav.?, in a poor way
i possibly, given different papers
: the news as I find them, not one
I sided, but as near as possible in
I the unprejudiced opinion of a juror
and I have always been upheld 111
my interpretation of passing events.
Even the opinion of a jury, almost
without exception, is one sided to
him who receives the lean end ol
the verdict. I did not take sides
with either boy as my article will
-he w, but I did call down the pa
rent for his little school boy talk
and threats, and so I do again, and
in doing so, I huvo behind me the

In lie future, I shall strive as in

wrongs, ana. in so lar as possible,
good, readable items of all trans
