The Republican party has en joyed the high privilege of en7 acting, cherishing and defending the protection tariff laws en acted and often amended, while the Democratic party has stren uously opposed the protective system. The following is an extract from the remarks of the pen of the late Wm. McKinley of Ohio, delivered in the house of representatives, and printed in the daily Congressional Record of May 7, 1890: ' 'We have now enjoyed twenty nine years continuously of pro tective tariff laws the longest uninterrupted period in which that policy has prevailed since the formation of the Federal Government and we find our ' salves at the end of that period in a condition of independence and prosperity the like of which has no parallel in the recorded his tory of the world. In all that goes to make a nation great and strong and in dependent, we have made extra ordinary strides. In arts, in science, in literature, in manu factures, in invention, in scien tific principles applied , to manu factures and to agriculture, in wealth and credit, and national honor, we are at the very front, abreast with the best, and be hind none. In 1860, after fourteen years of a revenue tariff, just the kind of a tariff that our political ad versaries are advocating today, the business of the country was prostrated, agriculture was' de plorably depressed, manufactur ing was on the decline, and the j poverty of the Government itself made this nation a byword in the financial centers of the word. We had neither money nor credit, i Both are essential. A nation can i get on if it has abundant reve-! nues, but if it has none, it must '. have credit. We had neither, i as a'legrcy of the Democratic revenue tariiT. We have both i now. We have a surplus : reve- j nue and a spotless credit. I need not state what is so fresh in our i minds, so recent in our history, I as to be known to every gentle-1 maii who hears me, that from' inauguration of the protective1 laws of 1861, the- old Morrill tariff which has brought to that j veteran statesman the highest' honor, and give to him the proud- j est monument this changed ' condition. Confidence was re stored, courage was inspired the Government started upon a progressive era under a system ; thoroughly American. With a great war upon our: hands, with an " army to enlist ; tind prepare for service, with j untold millions of money to sup- J ply, the protective tariff never j failed us in a single emergency, ! and while money was flowing j into our treasury to save the!

Those who form hasty conclu sions, rush into public print, mis lead the public by intemperate language and spirit; accusing our, President of threats toward any class or portion of the people or industries under our govern ment, do the President an injus tice.. The President's recent message to congress says: "When we come to deal with great corporations, the need for the Government to act directly is far greater than in the case of labor, because great corpora tions become such only by engag ing in interstate commerce, and interstate commerce is peculiarly the field of the General Govern ment. The National Govern ment alone can deal adequately with these great corporations. To try to deal with them in an intemperate, destructive or dema gogic spirit would, in all proba bility, mean that" nothing what ever would be accomplished, and with absolute certainty, that if anything were accomplished it would be of a harmful nature. "The American people need to show moderation, good sense, the earnest desire to avoid doing damage, and yet the quiet deter mination to proceed, step by step, without halt and with out hurry, in eliminating what ever mischief or evil there is to interstate commerce in the con duct of great corporations. They are acting in no spirit of hostility to wealth either corporate or individual. They are not against the rich man any more than against the poor man. On the contrary they are friendly alike toward rich man and toward poor man, provided only that each acts in a spirit of , justice and decency toward his fellows. Great corporations are neces sary and only men of great and singular mental power can man age such things successfully. But these corporations should be managed with due regard to the public as a whole. Where this can be done under the pres sent laws it must be done. Where these laws come short, others should be enacted to sup plement them. " Thus it will be seen that the language of the President indi cates moderation, patience, step by step, regulating the corpora tions by law eliminating the evil to the public in the conduct of the great corporations, instead of the fiery, intemperate language and implied threats of govern mnt ownership suggested. Doctor Could Not Help Her. "I had kidney trouble for years, writes Mrs, Raymond Conner of Shelton, Wash., "and the doctors could not help me. 1 tried Foley s Kidney Cure, and the very first dose save me relief and I .am' now cured. I cannot say too much for Foley's feidney Cure." It makes the diseased kidneys sonnd so they will elim inate the poisons from the blood.

I . .a nMrl AOtiWUl that the paper is not new responsimei for any opinion jiere expressed. , A vFew Questions, Editor Gazette: We read General T. J. Thorp's verv in teresting and able appeal to the patriotic citizens of Oregon with much interest, and while we bave not the ability to write as General Thorp we would like to ask a few questions: Gen. Thorp infers that the railroad corporatious were power behind the Democratic National Convention that nomin ated the late Democratic candi date for president, this is doubt - less to a great extent true, but alter the nominations were made were tney not periectly easy as regards which of the two leading candidates were elected? Is there one particle of evidence that they made any special effort to elect . not perfectly one more than the other; if there s,we have not been able to find it; fact of the matter is they were not afraid of being hurt by either, so they were perfectly easy and we had the quietest and most in different election that has ever been held during bur recollection of political campaigns. How different from the one when the Democratic party had a different man' at the head of their ticket that was aggressively fighting and contending for what no doubt he believed to be to the best interests of the masses of the people, and. what was the power behind the throne that de feated W. J. Bryan andplaced William McKinley in the presi dent's chair. Was it the people or the corporations? Again, what political party has had control of the Govern ment, in fact practically all of the time for the last fifty years and that has fathered, mothered and nursed this oligarchy of corpora tions, trusts and ccmbines until they completely control every act of legislation both State and National, or nearly so, and if any act does happen to pass not controlled in their interest it is defied and therefore void of good results. We think in the matter of the two leading political parties, the pot has but very little reason to call the kettle black, or vice' versa. ' How was It last summer in Republican Colorado? Were ever i people more basely or inhumane-! ly treated in anv country on earth than the people of those mining districts their furniture smashed to pieces, their co operative stores sacked by mobs cf people called citizens and soldiers, women insulted and mal treated and not satisfied with this mines and a depot were blown up and a number of non-union miners killed for no other reason than to create a sentiment against the striking miners; and was there ever a voice raised or an effort made to protect the miners in their rights or bring the guilty parties to justice? We are of the opinion that if the strikers had pursued such methods that they would have made short work of it and they would have been shot down like so many beast? ot prey. General Thorp's statement of conditions is true in every sense of the word, only it barely touches them as the railroads are by no means the whole influence that is bad. We have the coal trust, mining trust, liquor trust, and are working thousands of our children to death annually witnout tne snaaow 01 an excuse for such conditions, only that capital must have its pound of flesh, and these things will and must be changed, but when done it will be through a new organ ization or party, brought into power to meet the conditions for the reason that the parents sel dom murder their children and through air the world's history we have no record of a political party reversing conditions that grew up under its administration and the chances are we never will but when brought about it will come by a new alignment of parties composed of the patriotic people of this countrjr aligning themselves together for a com- tnon cause and one common pur pose. - . . Some patriotic people have been pleading for years for the people yto stop the conditions, complained of and so ably point ed out in Gen. Thorn's article. u"'"U punuwi iuatTui, 1 listened to the trfuufs of those who think more of party ties or political favors than they do of any principle or policy of govern ment, and while they may wish for better conditions they ' will cling to the dear old party until conditions become absolutely un bearable.
