their demands at tho iolls, aud tho edict
of tlio ballot-box overthrow ltepublican
ism and installed Democracy in the seat
of government.
Vo havo had now neatly four years of
Democratic rule. It has not differed
materially from previous Honublicau ad
ministrations and why? Decatiso tho
woik of reform in our tarill' system,
whore all and tho only iiiiiKntaut reform
is needed, has not begun. Our legisla

and almost
not allow of
any attempt oven to sift tlio lailll ques
tion, because of sonio learitu "atlvun

yon ask, what has brought about this
slate of affairs? Simply this, and noth
ing more: Tlia larilf question has never I
yot boon brought bquaroly lx-foro tho jieo-1

at tho poll, whether jn their opinion 1

'ie-iug thov have 11e.tr Ixcn fctveu an
opportunity to decide. It is not strange,
then, that their representatives at Valt
ington should take advantage of the situ
ation, and attempt to servo their and
their Ihishcs' own personal interests, ami
to pay nioio attention to tlio welfare of
tho party than to the wolfaro of the peo
ple. Hero is whore the dlilleulty lies: but
let mo tell you, reader, that that dillb
unity will soon ho obviated, tlio knotty
tnrllf problem solved. How? Let me
explain:
I havo said that in the past tlio tariff
question lias nover been put before the
musses us an issuo, in the many contests
for supremacy Iwlween the two croat par
ties. 1 have oven doubted mvself if it
could over bo plated in such a light.
Happily, my doubts havo lieen dissolved.
It is plain to see that thu coming Presi
dential contest will bo fought on this is
sue, ami It alone. Democratic Stuto con
ventions tlntiugbout tho nation aro put
ting staunch tariff-reform timber Into
their platforms, whllo Hopublicans aro
just as determinedly adopting resolutions
condemning President Clovelund, and
favoring, in words meant to bo soft and
misleading, but still with obvious mean
ing, a continuation in substance of tho
piesent exorbitant tat Iff rates. Farmers,
merchants, laborers, and producers gen
erally, aro becoming interested, and are
siding tlio matter as they never did bo
fore. And let 1110 tell you, this "protec
tion" deceit cannot liear their close scru
tiny. Tliey uro (hiding out that through
all thco yearn they havo been led astrav
by tho subtle and euphonious words o'f
deceivers. They aro discovering through
tho medium of hard, solid facts that tno
so-called "protection" of American labor,
American industry, and Amciicau funn
els is a fraud, it delusion, a snare. They
at last aro believing tho truth that for
every article necessary to their existence
they pay an avenigo of forty-seven per
cent, above its true valuo that this per
centage is thu "legitimate" profit of
trustH, mono)iolies, and rich iiianufactur
ervuml that this unequal and unjust
taxation Is a result of our present admira
ble "protective" tariff.
The question will ho face to faco with
tho voter this coming election. Republi
can pupors, leaders and bosses have en
rolled themselves under the banner of
"protection," ami will mako strenuous
efforts for tho success of their cause.
"Tariff reform" will bo the glorious stan
dard unfurled above the Democratic
hosts. At last wo have an issue wortli
tho striigglo It costs. I liellovo it will
tako no prophet to foretell tho icsiilt. I
believe that the causu now championed
by Democracy Ih as righteous us that of
the Kepublicuns iu 1801, and that tho
Domocrutio party will In turn earn tho
title of "Savior of thu Nation" ftom u
peril as deadly as the one which threat
ened it during tho War of the ltolielllou.

John M. Dcntley has proven true to tho
taxpayers of Umatilla county, Ho tin
made tlio best tax collector, and has ce -talnly
shown no discrimination in ids
work. This lias not been denied by any
one, aud taking tho county's financial and
moral condition into consideration, no
former slierlll has equalled the adminis

Kasteru Umatilla than ho received two

It has beon stated that V. M. Itamcoy,
candidato for Circuit Judge of tlio sixth
judicial district, Is a railroad attorney and
a "curiKjt bagger." Ah to the llrst alle
gation, wo have taken tho Double to look
up tho records and find that Mr. Itaiimey
lias never beon ictained in a single case
by any railroad corioration, but on the
other hand bus been engaged as counsel
against such corporations. This is tlio
plain truth, ami can easily bo proven by
the public record. This Htatoiiiunt is
mado for thobenollt of a certain iiiushioom
liepuhlican publication, which has seen
fit to vilify and abuse ceitaln Democratic
