Tariff Rates-
The f aimer should recollect
on
election day that a revision of the tariff
is one of the main issues cf the present
campaign. That the Democratic party
nre pledged to such a revision and re
duction of the tariff laws, as shall ad-
iiit the necessaries of life as rearlv
free of duty as is consistent to raise a
revenue sufficient to defray the current
expenses of. the Government economi
cally administered, leaving the heavies
burdens to fall on such luxuries as aie
not ahstlaUly necessary for the peace
ful eniovn:ent and haniu.ess of the
-working clasfes cf our people.
It has ever been the'tratlition of the
Democratic mrtv when in power to
Am
collect no more tariff duty than '
- . A .1
absolutely required to detray t.ie run-
iiincr exnenses of the government. So
pronounced was this tradition of the
Democratic arty, that when General
Jackson, during his administration
found a surplus revenue collected in
the treasury vaults, he not only ad
' vised a reduction of the duties, but
that the surplus which had already ac
cumulated be distributed to the several
States.
The Republican party are pledged
o maintain the present high protective
tuift". which has already, in a great
measure, destroyed our commercial re
lations with the most favored nations
of Europe, and virtually closed their
ports against the products of our soil,
as it has closed our pores against maay
cf their necessary productions. Tho
. w
present tariff notwithstanding tbs
crease 1 expense, waste and peculation
o ' gov ru mental i ffdirs,bas g thered up
the currency of the country, until to
day there is not money enough in cir-
c hit ion to transact the daily routine
o: business, while thousands of tons of
the precious metal? are stored iu
government vaults.
the
So uriiust and discriminating has
men the tarin svstem not only to our
, farming community, but . to other
nations witlr whom we trade, that
thev are iorceu to retaliatory measures,
and England to-day is enco
and stimulating other countries to pro
duco her brradstuffs, while Germany
absolute!, refuses lo eat our beef or
r
pork.
These are the reasons why the mer
' .chant cannot pay vou a remuneiative
price for your grain: A ship-master
who goes from Liverpool to Sidney,
with a full cargo of merchandise, can
carryback to England a full load of
, wheat for just one-half the price ho is
forced to charge the American farmer
for carrying ' his grain to the same
..market, whpn forced to sail his ship to
our ports under ballast. The' Austra
lian farmer has the advantage of price
of just one-half the rate of tonnage
over the American wheat grower, as
his profit on the production of his soil.
Resides, he gets his goods, , wares and
, machinery free cf duty, and ac greatly
reduced prices which go far toward in-
, creasing his profit.
Ilaixjo aa a Know-o thing.
A subscriber writes the E.xaminpr to
know what proof it has that Mr.
Ijlaine was formerly a Know-nothing,
jto which it replies. lie wes editor of
the Kennebec Journal from 1852 to
1857, inclusive. That paper wa3 a
bitter and uncompromising advocate
during those yers of native American
principles. It denounced foreigners,
r called them "thieves and felons," "the
. offscouring of Europe" and similar
, epithets. If Mr. Blaine was not a
, Know-nothing, his paper was, and an
, editor is presumed to be of the same
faith that he preaches, and Mr. Blaine
preaches Know-nothingism. Notwith
standing all this, Republican papers
tell us that Blaino wiU corral the Irish
. vote. It is not likely that many for
eigners will voto for a man who hates
, and denounces them.
Others may talk of there lieing no
use of an organization of the Democracy
of Oregon, bat the chairman, at;Jeast,
'.should give orders for a. contest :
One thing 13 certain, either Mr.
Jeffreys should let the public know
that he is chairman of the Oregon
Democracy or else resign.
A reward should be offered for the
Democratic party in Oregon. It
either strayed, lost or stolen,

jBlaine's Foreign Policy. '
"We hav looked long and earnestly
i , .
at the public prints aud carefully
studied out Republican exchanges to
; . . o
find out; what is intended by Blaine's
"foreign policy." We have asked our
Republican contemporaries for an ex-
planaticn, but have been unable to
learn anything definite as to what they
mean by the stereotyped phrase which
is going their rounds of "Blaine's vig
orous foreign policy." It is used in so
many contradictory articles. tht from
many or tue leading editorials under
the above caption, one might infer that
he intends to wage war upon England,
liberate Ireland, force Germany to cat
our pork, dam up the mouth of the
Nile, blockade the passage of the Black
hea, and parcel out all Europe to his
retainers. But when one finds them
selves electrified with the boldness of
his designs and ready to ioiu the mar-
tial crusaders against the Germans and
English, we find all our military ardor
damped by the announcement of Black
Jack the virtual mouth-piece of the
jfiumed .ivmgut. mat we are to cut
off all foreign tradc.stop the emigration
to our shores and withdraw within our
own domain and shut ourselves up like
a cloister, independent of tho outside
world.
Take either horn of the dilemma and
this vigorous foreign policy of Blaine's
is different from the broad and literal
sratesman-like policy always acted
upon by the Democratic party, first in
augurated bv Jefferson, enlarged and
improved upon by Monroe and Jack
son.
Jefferson, in his second inaugural ad.
dress, delivered on the 4th of March,
1805, gave expression to this beautiful
sentiment :
"In the transaction of your fore-gn
affaire, we have endeavored to cultivate
the friendship of all nations, and es
pccialiy 01 those wrtii winch we nave
the most important relations. We
havo donethem justicejon all occasions,
favored where favor was lawful, and
cherished mutual interests and inter
course on fair and equal terms. We
are hrmly convinced, and we act on
that conviction, that with nations, as
with individuals, our interests soundly
calculated, will ever be found insepa
rable from our moral duties; and his
tory, bears witness to the fact, that a
just nation is trusted on its word, when
recourse is had to armaments, and wars
to bridle others,"
A Good Thinsra
We have read many Republican
comments upon Governor Cleveland s
letter of acceptance. It is a compli
ment to their intelligence and unusual
development or iairness to presume
that they have read it all. Charity
constrains us to grant it so. Some
complain thit it is too short well,
that is a good sign. We never cher
ished and fondled a real good iced julep
or sherry cobbler in hot weather; but
what we thought the straw was too
short, or the bottom of the glass too
near the top. Even life is short, but
very dear, and sweeter still to those
most happily situated. We sometimes
think that we cannot get too much of
a good thing. At all events have tried
and so far failed. When compelled to
let go on something particularly palat
able, we have oft times felt as seem
ingly did the lamented Gray :
'For who to dumb foretfulness 4 prey,
This pleasing, anxious being e'er resigned,
Left the warm precincts of the living day,
Norcastone lonaing.lingeriuglook behind.'
So with the Republican journals in
leaving Cleveland's letter; they read
it, they like it, and mourn because
there was not more to read. But to
our Jiighjy perfumed sable brethren,
do not despair. We will all hear from
the young and gallant leader next
March. His inaugural will be brief,
but most excellent, and then we will
hear from him at proper intervals until
the close of his great, successful unci
happy administration. Truly, there is
a good time coming, and Republicans,
as well as we old patriot Democrats,
may rejoice therein.

DiSMGUSATIG PLATP02X
The Democrats party of the Union, through Its
representatives in National Convention assembled,
recognizes that a the nation grows older new issues are
boru of tirae-and progress, and old issues perish, but
the f undamental principles of Democracy, approved
by the united voice of the people, remain, and w ill
ever remain, as the best and only security for the
con muante offiee government, ine preservation 01
personal rights, the equality of all citizens before the ;
law. the reserved rights of the states, ami tne supre
macy of the Federal Government within the limits ol
the Constitution, will ever form the true basis of our "
lilierties, and can never be surrendered without de
stroying that balance of rights and powers which en
ables a continent to be develoed in peace and soci-il
order to be maintained by means of local gel. -government.
lint it is ini!is;)ensab!e, for the practical applica
tion and enforcement ot these lu-.Maineiitai prin
ciple, that, tlie Government should not always be
controlled by one political party. A frequent change
of administration is as necessary as tne constant re
currence to the popular will; otherwise, abuses grow,
and the Government, instead of being carried on for
the general welfare, becomes an instrumentality for im
posing heavy burdens on the many, who are governed
for the benefit of the few who govern. Public ser
vants thus become arbitrary rulers.
This is now the condition of the country.
Hence a change is demanded. Tha Republican
party, bo tar as principle is coucerned, is a
remiiiS'-tiiee; in practice, it is an organiza
tion for enriching those who control its ma
chinerv. The frauds and jobbery which have been
brought to light in every deprtutent of the Govern
ment are suftioient to have Killed for reform within
tin Republican party; yet -those in authority, made
reckless bv the long possession of power, have sue-
cumbert to its coriuiitisisc influence, and have placed
in nomination a ticket against which the independent
portion of the party are in open revolt, ihcrefore a
change is demanded. Such a change was alike neces
sity in 1370, but the will of the people was then de
feated by a ftViud, whiidi can never be forgotten nor
condoned, gain ir' 1830 the cha nge demanded by
the people was uefe.i.ted by the lavish use ot money.
contributed by unscrupulous contractors and shame
less jobbers, who had bargained for uiilawiul profits,
or for high othce.
The Republican party, during its legal, its
stolen, and its bought tenures of ivwer, has
steadily decayed in moral character and political
capacity. Its platform promises arc now a list of its
past failures, it demands tha restoration of our
navy; it h is squandered hundreds of millions to cre
ate a navy that does not exist It calls upon l5ongress
to remove the burdens under w hich American slapping
has been depressed; it imposed and has continued
those bnrdens.
It professes the policy of reserving the publiu lands
for small holding by actual settlers. It has given
away the peoples' heritage till now a few railroads.
and non-resident aliens, individual and corporate, pos
sess a larger area than that of ail our farms between
the seas. It professes a preference for free institu
tions; it organized and tried to legalize a control of
State elections by federal troop3. It professes a de
sire to elevate labor; it has subjected American work
ingmen to the competition of convict and imported
contract labor. It professes gratitude to all who
were disabled or died in the war, leaving widows and
orphans; it left to a Democratic House of Represen
tatives the tfrst effort to equalize both bounties a-'d
pension?. It proffere a pledge to correct the irregu
larities of our tariff; it created and has continued
them. Its own tariff commission enfessed the need
of more than 20 per cent, reduction; its Congress gave
a reduction ft less than 4 per cent. It professes the
protection of American manufacturers; it has sub
jected them to an increasing flood of manufactured
goods, and a hopeless eompet tion with manufactur
ing nations, not one of which taxes raw material. It
professes to protect all American industries; it has
impoverished many to subsidize a few. It professes
the protection of American labor; it ha.s depleted the
returns of American agriculture, an industry followed
by half our people. It professes the equality of til
men before the law. Attempting to fix the s.ntus of
colored citizens, the acts of lis Congress were overset
by the decisions of its courts. It "accapts anew the
duty of leading in the work of progress and reform;"
its caught criminals are permitted to eseaje through
contrived delaj s or actual connivance in the prose
cution. Honeycombed with corruption, outbreaking
exposures no longer &noeK its moral sense, its hon
est members, its indepedent journals, no longer main
tain a successful contest for authority in its counsels
or a veto upon bad r.ominatons. That change is nec
essarily proved by an existing surplus of more than
100,000,000, which lias yearly been collected from a
suffeiing people. Unnecessary taxation i3 unjust
taxation.
Wo denounce the Republican pa: ty for having failed
to relieve the people from crushing war taxes which
have paralyzed business, crippled industry and de
prived Ubor of employment and of jnst reward. Tha
liemocracy pledges itself to purify the admin
istration from corruption, to restore econ
omy, to revive respect for law and to re
duce taxation to the lowest limitconsistent with a due
regard to the preservation of the faith of the nation,
to its creditors and pensioners; knowing full well,
however, that legislation affecting the occupations
of the people should be cautious and conser
vative in method, not iu advance of public
opinion, but responsive o its demands, the Demo
cratic party is pledged to revise the tariff in a spirit of
fairness to all interests; but in making a reduction in
taxes, it is not proposed to injure any domestic indus
tries but rather to promote their healthy growth. From
the foundation of this Government tho taxes collected
at the Custom house have been the chief source of
Federal revenue. Such they must continue to be.
Moreover, many industries have come to rely upon
legislation lor a succcs-tni continuance, so that any
change ( law must ba at c cry step regardful of labor
and capital thus involved. The process of reform
must be subject in its execution to this plain dictate
of justice All taxation shall be limited to the re
quirenieiits of an economical Government. The
necessary reduction m taxation can and must Vte af
fected without depriving American labor of the abil
ty to compete successfully with foreign labor, and
without imposing lower rates of duty than will bo
amole to cover any increased cost of production which
may exut in consequence of the higher rate of wages
prevailing hi this country. Sufficient revenue to pay
an ttje expenses oj tna reuerai uoveriiinent econom
ically adnutiistcred, including pensions, interest and
principal of tha public debt, cm be got under our
present system of taxation from Custoit -house taxes
on fewer imported articles, bearing the.heaviest on
articles of luxury and bearing lightest oil articles of
necessity. We therefore denounce the abuses of the
existing tarilf and subject to preceedinglimitation, we
demand that Federal taxation shall be exclusively for
public purposes, and sh.sll not exceed the needs of the
government economically administered. The system of
direct tix aim,' known as the "internal revenue," is
a warlax,and so long as the law continues the money
received therefrom should be sacrcdlv devoted to the
relief of tbc people from remaining burdens of the
war, and be inade a fund to defray the expense of the
care and comfort of worthy soldiers, disabled in the
line of duty in the wars of the Republic, fviid for the
payment of such pensions a Congress may from time
to time grant to such soldiers a like fund for tho
sailors having been already provided and any sur
plus should be paid into the treasury.
We favor an American continental policy, based
upon more intimate commercial and political relations
with the fifteen sister Republics of North, Central and
South America, but entangling alliances with none.
We believe iu honest money the gild and silver
coinage of theconstititution and acirculating medium
convertible into such money without loss.
Asserting the equality of all men before the law
we hold that it is the duty of the Government, in
dealings with the people, to mete out equal and exact
justice to all citizens, of whatever nativity, race, col
or or persuasion, religious or political.
We believe in a free ballot and a fair count, and
we recall to the memory of the people the noble
struggle of the Democrats in the Forty-fifth and For-tv-sixth
Congresses, by which a reluctant Republican
op)xsition was compelled to assent to legislation
making everywhere illegal the presence of troops at
the polls the conclusive proof that a Democratic
administration will preserve liberty with order. The
selection of Federal officers for the Territories should
be restricted to cit izens previously resident thereof.
We oppose sumptuary laws, which vex the citizens
and iutefcro with individual liberty.
We favor an honest civil service reform in compen?
sation of all United States offices by fixed salaries, tho
sepai-ati-m of Church and State, und ihe diffusion of
free education by coinm n schools, so thatevtrv child
in the bind may be taught the rights and duties of
citizenship.
While we favor all legislation which will tnd to
the equitable distribution of property, to the preven
tion of monopoly, and to the strict enforcement of
individual rights against corporate abuse, we hold
that the welfare of society depends on a scrupulous
regard for the rights of property as defli.ed by law.
We believe that labor is best rewarded where it is
freest an.', most enlightened. It should be fostvred
and cherished. We favor the repeal of all the laws
restraining the free nttion of labor, and the enact
ment of laws by which labor organizations may lie
increased, and of all such legislation as will tend to
enlighten the people as to the true relations of cap
ital and labor.
We believe that the public lands ought, as far as
possible, to be kept as homesteads for actual settlers;
that all unearned lands heretofore iiuprovidently
granted to railroad corporations by the Republican
party should be restored to the public domain, and no
more grants shall be made to corporations, or be al
lowed to fall into the ownership of alien absentees.
We are onjMised lo all propositions which, upon any
pretext, would convert the general Government into
a machine for the collection of taxes to be distribute.!
among the States or citizftns thereof.
In reaffirming the declaration of the Democratic
platform of 1SJ6 that "the liberal principles embodied
by Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence, and
sanctioned in the Constitution, which makes ours the
land of liberty and the asylum of the oppressed of
every nation, have ever been cardinal principles in
the Democratic faith,', we nevertheless do not sanc
tion the importation of foreign labor, or the admission
of servile races unfiled bv habits, training, religion or
kindred for absorption into the great body of our peo
ple, or to the citizenship which our laws confer.
American civilization demands that against the immi
gration or importat ion of Mongolians to these shores
our gates should be closed.
The Democratic j-arty insists that it is the
duty of the Government to protect with equal
fidelity and - vigilance the rights of itscitizens,
native or naturalized, at home and abroad;
and to the end that this protection may be assured,
United States papers of naturalization issued by
Courts of competent jurisdiction, must be respected
by the executive and legislative departments of our
own Government, aud by aH foreign powers. It is
an imperative duty of this Government to efficiently
protect all the rights of persons and the property of
every American citizen in foreign lands, and demand
and enforce full reparation for any invasion thereof.
A.n American citizen is only responsible to his own
Government for any actdont in his country, or under
her Hag and law, only to be tried therefor on her
g -P, and according to her laws. No power exists in
this government to exnatriate an American citizen, to
be tried iu any foreign land for any such set.
This country "has never had any well-defined and exe
cuted foreign policysave under a Democratic adminis
tration; that policy has ever been, in regard to for
eign nations, so long as they do no set detrimental to
ectetCiaM&ftw 'fNni u- 1 n inn.
the Interests of the country or hurtful to our cititens,

this policy we recall the acquisition of Lou

Mexican territory by purchase alone, and con

Republican administration" of nearly a quarter of a
century. '
The General Government should owe 'or
and improve the Mis3issppi river and other great water
ways of the Rupublic, so as to secure lor uie nver.or
utates easy and cheap transportation to uae-water.
Under a loner neriod of Democntic rule and policy
our merchant marine was fast overtaking, and on the
point of outstripping, that of Great Britain. Under "iO
years of Republican rule and policy our commerce has
been left to British bottoms and almost lias the Ameri
can flag been swept off the high seas, instead oi
the Republican party s British policy, we demand
for the people of the United States an American policy.
Under Democratic rule and policy our uierenams auu
sailors flying the stars and stripes in every port, suc
cessfully searched out a market lor tne vaiiea yio-
Hiift of Amwrirein industry.
Under a quarter of a century of Republican rule

all other nations in high-paid labor, favorable
climates and teemimr soils despite the freedom of
trade mong all these United States, despite their
lat.lim hv tha foremost races of men-and an an

j ears of ieace, that Republican rule and olicy have
jiir.un.rnil to surrender to Great Britain, along with
mir S.nimnr t.h font.rol of the markets of the
world. Instead of the Renublican party 's British policy ,
t, iifiiimn.i in behalf nf the American Democracy, an
American policy; instead of the Republican party's
discredited scheme and false pretense of friendship to
American laber, expressed by imposing taxes, we ue
miiiiil iii hehaif of tha Democracy, freedom for Amer
ican labor, by reducing taxes to the end that these
United States may eomiwte with unhindered powers
for primacy among nations in all the arts of peace
anii fruits of lihprLv.
With profound regret we have been apprised by the
venerable statesman, through whose person was sirura
thut blow at the vital nrincinle of toe republic ac
quiescence in the will of th3 majority that he can
notnermit us airaiu to Place in his nitidis ti.e leader
ship of the Democratic host, for tho .;c;i that the
ai-hicvemciits of reform in the admin'rU a' ('i of the
federal Government is an undertaking now hovy
for his age and failing strength. - Rejoicing th.t hi
life has been prolonged until the general judgment oi
our fellow countrymen is united in the wish that the
wrong were righted in his person for the Democracy
of the United States, we offer to him in his withdraw

and esteem, but also that best homage of freeman,

EWith this statement of the hones, principles and
purposes of the Democratic party, the great issue of
reform and change in administration is submitted to
the people in calm confidence, that the popular voice
will nronOunce in favor of new men. and new and
more favorable conditions for the growth of industry,
