Politic Ooy, l'enuoyer'a Hpeech Annie l'lsley-Major dates - The Hotels, From an Occasional Correspondent, Pokti.ani), May 6, 1888. If tho Democrats oxiect to carry this State in Juno, they must bo up and doing something. Tlio ltopublicuns of this city have plenty of coin, and they aro going to uho it. Tlioy uro already beginning to feel tro pulse of somo weak-kneed Demo crats b llcring them somo Inducements to supi" t a certain jiortion of the Repub lican leg...latlvo ticket. Speaking in re- ?ard to tin- matter tho otlior ovening, a democrat s .Id to tho writer: "You must look out lor yourself. Wo have threo dully Republican pajiers ami any amount of money." Tho only issue of any imixirtunco bo foro tho jicoplo now Is whether tho gov ernment shall bo run on war taxes, and tho loor become (oorer, and tho lich grow richer. The present administration wants to reduce these taxes in tho inter est of tho poor, and if tho laboring classes do not unite to sustain such a reduction thoy huvo only themselves to blame. Cleveland has saved millions of acres of public laud from tho grasiiing monoiiolles to tho poor settler. '1 ho laboring classes aro just beginning to see that tho admin istration is their friend, and thousands aro mini- to vote tlie ticket tills year to sustain It who have lieen voting with inonooly on tho Republican ticket. Tlio sneech delivered at Pendleton tho other day by Governor Pennoyer was a muster stroke oi siutesmuiisuip, in which he surpassed all his previous etibrts. It was free from all demauoulsui. presenting only facts and figures in their broadest sense, und so plain that any ono who can i ' .i i 'i'i... ... i. i.... i.i real! cull uiiueieiuiiu. aiiu rjivtLiiniiwuiu Im nut In tlio hands of every voter in Oregon who may see how this govern ment has lM.en run when in tlio interest of moneyed corjKirutions for tlio last quar ter of a century, and that tills present administration projiosos to bring It back to lirst principles. Governor Poinioyor's sjieech will make a good Presidential campaign document, and 1 doubt not it will lo used us such throughout tho coun try. Somo of tho Republican papers call hiiil a crank, but llio country would bo letter oil if it had a fow moro such cranks. Governor Pennoyer lias made himself u record by this sjeecd whlcli will show to tho country that Oregon has a statesman of no mean calibre. 1 went to the Now Park theater Mon day night to see Annlo Pixley. lu eon- , sequence of her being connected with ono of tho llrst families of this city all the . scats woro taken long before the night of tho opening. Sho may well feel proud of her reception, for )hu theater was jammed with tho fashionable of Portland. The ' plav was the "Deacon's Daughter," which is said to bu ono in which sho ex- I eels. Annio Pixloy is a very good actress, and when that is said that is about all 1 thero is ubout It. Sho has no particular merit beyond u great many other act- esses. Sho is rather a handsome llimro. und dresses with good tasto. It seems to me sho is deficient in emotional powers, when sho attompts' to portray grief or disappointment sho does not change her countenance as sho should. My opinion is that her greatest merit is iier singing. Sho has a very sweet voice, and has full control of It. Sho sang one- song which repaid mo for tho dollar I sjiont. Her engagement will, no doubt, bo a success ful one. Immigration is coming at tho rate of from loU to i!00 a day. A groat many uro going to Southern Oregon. That country must bo hotter adveittsed than tho east ern H)rtion. A good man has gone from among us. John Gates, mayor of Portland, Is dead. His remains are at rest lu Riverside cem etery, on the slope of the mountain over looking tho broad Willamette, on whoso bosom he basso often traveled whllo con nected with tho O. It. A N. Co. Gu tho day of tho funeral nearly all kinds of business was suspended, and thousands of Portland's citizens camo out to pay tho last tribute of respect to tlio dead mayor, which was evidence that ho was loved by thoso whom ho presided' over. Poitland has lost a good citizen, whom sho w ill not soon forget, and ono whom she could not well part with, but grim death Is no re sjiector of persons, and wo all huvo to travel tho same road. Tho grand hotel to bo erected on tho Villard foundation is said to bean assured cortaiuty, tho requisite amount being raised, or so near that tho building will go ahead. Now glvo us a good theater and wo will all bo happy. W. It. S. ftn.NATOIl NLATKK'H HPKKOII. A Clear and Forcible 1'resentatlon of the KTllsoMllch Taxation. Hut a small audience was present Sat urday ovening when Mr. Slater began Ids address, but It gradually inciouHcd until J 1 10 room was pretty well filled. Mr. Mater is one'oi Ilia best Informed men' in tho country on tho subject of which ho treated, and was acknowledged to bo so when in tho United States Senatu. Tho logic of his facts und llgtircs Is irresistible to ono who will candidly und studiously listen. Tho following is a brief outline of Mr. Slater's lomurks: Ho started out with a proposition with whlcli ho believed all men would ugreo that all taxation should boar eutially ; that A should not lo taxed for It's ImuioIH, Tho tntalamount of import duties paid by the iKioplo of this country is (1)8,000.000, or fit fur every man, woman and child. Under tho low Walker tarlll', from 181(1 to 1817, tho country was moro prosperous than ever leforo or since. Hitcliauaii found u full treasury, with twenty mil lions of surplus, and tho Republican Houso reported in favor of still lower tarlir, recommending a reduction whlcli would make thorn lower than at any time since 18-1. Hut in 1801 tho war broke iioii tho coun try, and money must bu had. in conso- quenco of which tho war-luxes wero Im posed. After tho war was over thoy should huvo hren repealed, but Instead of that thoy wero increased, Tlio census reiK)rt still plainly tho wonderful story 'of tho dlllereuco to tho people Isitween high and low turiil's. liven maiiufaetur ' lug industries thrived Isiller under this ' low turiir.

"0 ier cent, tlio tarill commission of 188:i recommended a re duction of twenty ier cent., but the re duction made altogether amounted to only ono per cent. Up to within the last year or so, tho surplus could lie used in pay ing off bonds, but since then no IkjikIs liuvu fallen duo, und tlio government can not nay them excent by going into the market and purchasing them in comiieti tion with private individuals, und paying a premium. Tlio surplus revenue is increasing at tho rate of from ten to fifteen dollars er mouth, In 1847 a panic was caused by a surplus of only forty seven millions; and romemlerliig this tlio President wisely recommends a revision of tho taiill', Tlio farmers of tho country under this high tuxution huvu lieen growing tela lively tioorer. Tills is not becaui-o of a lack of industry on their part, not Ijccuiiso of frequent failures of crops, nor for want of transportation facilities.
