SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 28, 1SSU. A PARTI' OF PRINCIPLES. The Democratic press have nomi nated Harrison as Republican candi date in l$9 The nttionai conven tion which meets to ou-.line the policy of the pajty may or may not see fit to nominate the present incumbent as standard-bearer in the coming canvass. In the latter emergency we sympathize with our friends of the opposite politi cal persuasion for being premature in their calculations. The Republican ' party is a party of principles, not men, and it makes little difference who se cures the nomination, so that he up holds the great fundamental doctrines - of the organization. We cannot say as much of Democracy. In 13G4 that parly, in session in Chicago, resolved that "this war is a failure," oud this was at the time that Lee, with his Confederates, were cannonading Get tysburg. This party went before the country during that campaign on this iasue, with a Union general as their leader. The following campaign, -in 1863, Democrats raised the cry cf "equitable adjustment," "pay the na tional debt in greenbacks," and the patriotism of the people came to the rescue of national honor, and they were defeated. In 1872, taking poor Horace Greely as their candidate, they went before the country on a platform which attempted to consolidate discon tented Republicans and rebel Demo crats, and again met their Waterloo. A wild cry of "reform was the shib boleth in 187G, and again the Amer ican people voted against the party. The Democracy was defeated in 1880, and reaped success in 1884 by means or tneir candidate and a civil service platform. By following the history ot ihe Democratic party for the past quarter cf a century it will be seen that it has sever come be fore the people on a distinctive policy. In every instance it has resorted to expedients to ca'ch the unthinking masses. At one time declaiming that the war was a failure, and at the same time taking the leading general as its standard bearer; at another time, taking the man who had ma ligned the party more than any one, . for the simple reason of "attempting; to catch votes. And again, when the pressure of war times bore heavily on the people, as it must necessarily, to go before the country on a repudiation platform. Then again the empty cry of "reform" in 1876, and the same in 1880 and 1884. In 1888 civil service reform, and the party elected a man who belied every element of the and any quantity of American pnuts can be purchased for 5 cents. In this, as in very many othtr instances, the tariff has allowed our manufacturers to compete with each other, improve their machinery aud cheapen the cost of the articlr. In 'other words, pro tection has developed and built up the industrj in the United States, which never would have been accomplished if foreign prints were on sale in our markets. Again, a great factor of development in Pennsylvania is the manufacture of Bessemer steel rail.", and the first duty to encour age the industry in this country was 23 per ton, and this his had the tendency to develope the industry to such an extent that the tariff has been reduced to 17 a ton, and steel rails sre now cheaper that they were when England manufactured them for the world. We might mention other ar ticles to illustrate this principle of pro tection being alike beneficial to produ cer and consumer, but these are suffi cient to prove the correctness cf the doctrint.1. Past experience has proved that anything which can be manufac tured to advantage or is adapted to our climate and soil can be developed and c'leapened to Mm consumer by protect ing the infant indusiry; but if, like sugar, it cannot be grown in sufficient quantity to supply the local demand, any tariff is a tax on the consumer and only benefits the few to the detri ment of the many. With proper dis crimination, there cannot be much doubt that the policy of protection is the better one for a new country and a free people. be established,- and advertisements of our advantages to hou:e-&eek?rs spread broadcast over the east. An agency should be atablished in ih large cities, and a bountiful supply of pamphlets and paper-i descriptive of the countrv furnished. livery dollar soent in this wav will brinsr several in return. The east is over-crowded and the peopie are tuixiously lookin; toward the west for homes. Next year the army of immigrants will be as lar'e as ever, and the fertile valleys and plains of the couutry east of the Cascades w ill receive her proportion of home-builders if the people interested extend them a welcome. As this mat ter is of the most vital importance to our growth and prosperity, something 1 should be done this fall and winter so that we shall be prepared for active work next spring. APPREHENSIONS ABROAD. The European press are very much alarmed at the formation of a "United America,"' and have grave fears of the consequences. W hiie toreigners nave a market for their surplus fabrics they care little for this continent or its in habitants; bui when they see an effort at consolidation the alarm is sounded and the fearful result depicted. The leading papers of France, Sain and Austria-Hungary, have all publishi d editorials against the unifiaction of the American countries, aud in terms plain and concise state the reasons of their complaints. The Vienna 'rem deublatt voices the real cause of th antagonism in the following article : The United States government lias invited all the governments of 11 new world to take part in a congress. to be held in Washington under tl watchword of "United America," and specially America united against Eu rope, u inform weigntx, measures anu coinage are to be introduced, and court of arbitration appointed to set tle disputes between the American states, ihe encroachment of the r-u ropean states in connection with American a flairs is to be jointly op - t .

PROTECTION PROTECTS. The sophistry of the Democratic doctrine of tariff-reform is made ap parent by an attempt to make it ap pear that the duty adds that amount to the price of the article to the con sumer. This is not true only in those cases in which the proJuct cannot be raise i in sufficient quantity to supply the local demand. For instance, not If our workmen desire to help these I foreigners by opposing the federation scheme and working for their wages, they should support Democracy and free-trade ; but if they believe in pro tecting their homes and families, the Republicans flaunt the banner under which they should marshal their forces.

Annual exhibitions of agricultural and mechanical products are beueh cial to all clasrea of a community, The farmer is educated in the adap tation of soil to grains and plants, and the mechanic in the advancements made iu his vocation. But the direct benefit derived is not alone to these persons. All branches of art and in dustrial employments receive a stimu lant m their various vocations, and by an interchange cf ideas should bs made more proficient. The show of stock raised in the vicinity en ucs a. lauda ble ambition to improve breeds, and this is beneficial to flock masters in more ways than one.

Our citizens may well feel proud of the fair. grounds. To b: successful exhibitions must be patronized by all citizens, end this will require an effort on the part of those intensied. The farroer should select some sample of grain or fruit, and bring to the fair; the mechanic some product of his handiwork, and the art ist some work of beauty or tkill. By such means a fair becomes a subject of personal interest and personal ad vantage. This year we cannot expect a very good showing of grume, but our fruits should be very excellent, as this has been an exceptionally good season. Another annual meeting may find Eastern Oregon with the ' usual good crop?, and if the people man ifest proper concern in such mat ters each -succeeding fair will be better than the one preceding. Agricultural and . mechanical exhibitions aid the growth and development of any coun try, an! the different associations in j Eastrrn Oregon will undoubtedly have th's tendency. Ia a fe.v years it is servance, but as a sanitary measure, should be of universal observance. The rest is necessary to the business man, the mechanic and laborer, and all sliouH be wiihns to relpase the mind from its burdens and the body from its toils one day in seven. The speech of (inn. Gordon at the grand barbecue and permanent organ- zatiou of the Cuickamauga Memorial Association, at Chattanooga yesterday, breathed the true spirit of patr;o'is:i), and if he uttered the sentiments of the survivors of the late Confederate army, the memory of the struggle will not have the effect "to bring to mind any of the old bitter feelings. Gen. Gordon said: Speaking fur thsse I am called upon to represent, I pledge their earnest co-operation in tbe sacred mission which con venes yon, and ia all thing3 whieh pertain to the welfare aud unity ot tie American people. In their name I proclaim their eternal fealty to the American constitu tion, to the American republic and to the Aoicricaa Union of ftarf, from which they withdrew for their saiety, but wLich, now t' tit the causes of the dissensions are gone, they will loyally and bravely de fend for their fature protection. We are here to unit.: -with you iu a fital and eter nal sepulchre of sectional hostility. The voice of the Democratic press in Washington is not very pronounced iu favor cf the constitution and state hood. They appear to base U eir op position upon the lender hope that thpy wi 1 hive a U U-r ojp;'i-ium! in the future to tecure a victory. But the constitution will In cdopled ui d Washington march into the galaxy of the union under Re.iubli -uu colors. Our esteemed .: ,., uiary, the East Oregunia:i, says thai Mr. Campbell, the Democratic ni minee for governor cf Ohio, "stands for a great company of men whom discussion and investi gation have converted from timid pro tectionism to Democracy." How could Mr. Campbell or any other man be converted from protect ion ism to Democracy if the Democratic party is not anti-protection or free-trade. George Franci3 Train, who calls himself "Citizen" Train, Las been ar rested in New York on a judgment cf 1000. As he refused to take the poor debtor's oath he has been re manded to jail. George Francis lias many eccentricities, but not paying his debts cannot be considered on? of them, for this has become so gei.eral that it is no longer an eccentricity or peculiarity. reasonable to expect that better breeds of Lors:s, of cattl of sheep, and finer agricultural products will be seen in the Inland E.npire as the natural re sult of ihi annual meetings of the dis triet f.ssoc.'atio.is. The opinions of Chairman L'rice coincides with thosa of ex-rresident Cleveland on the status of the Dem ocratic party in the future. In an interview he sys: "Cleveland has in dorsed the platform adopted by the Ohio democrats. 1 heartily join in the endorsetn .''.. The Ohio demo cracy's sentiments ia the matter of tariff reform are my own. My senti ments in regard to the tariff have not seen a change by defeat. As chair man of the national committee 1 cannot presume to express the opin ions of the committee, but I am free to give my own opinions, which are expressed in the fullest way by the Ohio platform." If his views have not been changed by defeat, and the members of the party adopt such a platform in 1892, there is another Waterloo for the party that year. The Republicans are perfectly satisfied with this anti-protection doctrine of the Democracy, and are willing to ght national campaigns on that issue for many yars to come. There is to be a political tourna ment in Seattle next Saturday, be tween prominent speakers of both parties. This discussion of the issues involved in a campaign is very desira ble, and it enables electors to arrive at an intelligent conclusion. We hope the good old plan of discussions on the "slump" will again become popular.' The greatest satisfaction is mani fested by the Democratic press of the country because poor, crippled Tanner has resigned his position as commis sioner of pensions. It is tiue Cor poral Tanner was a little loquacious, but he was honest and patriotic, and Republicans "love him for the ene mies he has made." ' The harvest in the Inland Empire, .now that the gram is threshed, is much better than expected. There is no denying the fact that this has been the dryest season ever experienced, but the crop is fV.r from being a failure. This has never happened before, and, very probably; ui ni ver happen again, Mrs. Robert Ray Hamilton has bean sentenced to two years in the penitentiary for the unprovoked as fault upon the innocent servant girl. Th? only objection that can be made to this is. that it was not made ten instead of two. The removal of Capt. Priestly, agent at the S'nicoe Indian reservation, is causing comment by sonic of our Democratic cotemporarie?. While no one disparages Mr. Priestly' record as soldier, yet .his appointment was contrary to the language of the na tional platfornr upon which Mr. Cleveland w as elected, ,wLich expressly stated that oflieiuls in the territories should be residents, and Capt. Priestly was a citiz -n of Wisconsin. There were any number of Democratic resi dents of Washington, who could have tilled the position of Indian agent at Simcoe, and by so doing the president would not have violated any of his pledges to the country. As it was it could not be expected that President Harrison would keep in office one who was not a citizen of the territory and not identified with its growth and de velopment, hen there are many of his partizans, old citizens, who were perfectly competent for the position.
