PROTECIIVE TARIFF.
. 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!
Government, industries were !

springing up all over the land

of our prosperity and glory." I v
CORPORATE REGULATION.
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. Unless
they do this, good health is impossible

that the paper is not new responsimei

, 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. V s
