DEMOCRATIC ECONOMICS.
The Chicago Heralds professor of
political economy ia often very amus
ing? bat he never was more so than in
an article on '-Ihe Facts of McKinley
ism" recently from his pen, in which
he very gravely told his readers that
the protectionist's brag about increased
imports was all a humbug, and that
the public was led astray by the total
figures of our foreign trade, which ap
peared to show an increase in our iui-
ports. But the disastrous effects of
McKinleyism, says our amusing con
temporary, are to be found in this
. comparative table, the first column of
which shows our imports of ctrtam
. articles during the first ten months of
the McKinley bill and the second
those of the corresponding ten. months
of the year before the bill wont into
" operation:
Cotton poods $21.920,9S9
Woolen goods... . 29,4S0,705
Wines.. .-. 6,558,430
Tobacco 6,548,797
Provisions 1,331,475

-' And thia is what our Chicago con
temporary calls a restriction of trade.
Because we have taken steps to pro
duce in our own country many things
which we formerly bought from the
foreigner this remarkable economist
says we are restricting trade. The
California raisin producers aro dis
placing the products of Spain, but be
cause the people of Chicago are baying
. from California rather than the for
eigner the. Herald says trade is re
stricted. And yet we venture to
assert that in spite of the falling off of
imports of Spanish raisins the Ameri
can consumer is getting more and
cheaper and better raisins than he
' ever did before. So, too, of the other
articles. Because our imports of cot-
. ton " goods have fallen off, does the
Herald editor imagine Americans are
- wearing less of those ' manufactures)
If he does let him consult the tables of
consumption of raw material and he
will find out how badly mistaken he is.
The trouble with this economist and
, all free traders is that they don't find
themselves able to think of anything
as trade except foreign trade. But he
might as well make up his mind to
accept the inevitable and agree with
protectionists that it is the height of
folly to buy abroad what can be made
at home. For in the future we shall
leave to free.trade nations the blessed
privilege of patronizing the foreign
rather than the home producer.
CABINET GIRLS.
Having nothing else to make re
marks upon, the Washington Post, in
its usual able way, indulges itself and
delights the public in a dissertation
upon the cabinet girls. The word
"girl" is variously defined by Webster;
first, it is said that "the origin of the
word is not obvious," then it is stated
that a "girl is a young woman em
ployed to tend children, a word left
in England by the Romans; in
"ancient days," the lexicographer says,
which will be news to most people, the
"word was used among the Romans
for both sexes." .Those Romans must
have seen the dudes of to-day with the
vision of the prophets.
Coming down from the cold facts of
etymology to the warm regions ' of
social life it is necessary to explain
- that the "cabinet girl" is the unmar
ried female adjunct of the household
... of a member of the president's cabinet
She may be the daughter, an aunt, or
a cousin, it matters not which, nor
how old, nor how young she is; in any
case if she comes within the limit she
is a "cabinet girl." Thero have been
many notable cabinet girls. Not to
go ' back into ancient history Miss
Harriet Lane, the niece of President
Buchanan, and mistress of the White
House during his time, was most
notable; so, too, jumping the gulf of
years, was Miss Nellie Arthur, the
daughter of President Arthur; so, also,
was Mrs. Cleveland, the enly lady ex
cept the second wife of J ohn Tyler
who was ever joined in wedlock in the
White House. But none of these
were "cabinet girls" in the strict sense
of the word .
Cabinet girls, as the term is under
stood in the official circles in Washing'
ton, have, and haye always had, their
" lines cast in pleasant places. They
are hunted and hunted to be sure by
the dudes of the foreign legatious, but
. it is pleasant to know that as a general
thing they have been able to resist
. their nothingless. The cabinet girl,
upon the whole, is an American in
stitution in which we can all have
pride. ' .
International law will not permit
one country to harbor or fun.ish an
asylum for the outlaws of another, and
a case in point is Garza, the Mexican
bandit and revolutionist, who is mak
ing more trouble for the United States
and Mexico with bis few followers
than would a respectable army. Un
less our government takes vigorous
steps to either kill, capture or expel
him, Mexico will have serious ground
of complaint against us for harboring
filibusters. Of course the Mexican
government understands that we have I
no sympathy with Garza, but that is
not enough. We are supposed to be
able to maintaid law and order on our I
Bide of the border. A sudden irrup-
tion, or outbreak, may be excusable in I
finding our authorities unprepared, but I
this Garza infliction has now been go-1
ing on for days and weeks. Our reg-
nlara and the Texas rangers have
probably been active and zealous
enough, but they are at present too
few to properly patrol the border. By
their armed resistance to American as
well as Mexican troops Garza and his the outrages, the entire country would
followers hare completely outlawed have applauded the act; but now en
themselves and are entitled to no con- thusiasm has quieted down and di-
sideration whatever, except as bandits I
and criminals. If captured in Mexico I
they would be shot with scant cere
mony. They would be entitled to no
other fate if overtaken in arms on our
side of tbe line, although in the event
of their surrender thev would, of
courbc, We granted due process of law,
It is intimated that Garza has more
sympathizers in Mexico than is sup
posed, but that does not change the
complexion of his operations so far as
we are concerned.
At present politics are quiet, bu
the rumbling of the approaching con
test can be discerned, and undoubtedly
liefore 1892 is numbered with ihe past
there will be such an upheaval in the
political world that has not been wit
nessed for a loug time. There is no
denying that the Democracy is care
fully preparing itself for the great
presidential fight of next year. The
issues will be very distinctive, and one
party will rise or fall by reason of tbe
economic policy advocated. For
long period in tbe history of the re
public protection to American indus
tries has been carried into operation
by Republican administrations and
Republicans in congress, and the re
sult has been unequaled prosperity,
To change this now, when the country
is enjoying unexampled growth and
advancement, would be little short of
national suicide. Notwithstanding
this fact, the present congress will
attempt to inaugurate the opposite
economic policy, and if successful next
year in tbe election of their president,
Democrats will have progressed an
important siep toward making the
United States a British free-trade
nation. That the coming campaign
demands earnest efforts on the part of
the friends of protection is very evi
dent, and we do not believe that
1892 will witness any lethargy on the
part of this portion of our citizens.
The "Tin-plate Consumers' Associa
tion." which seems to be a free-trade
concern doing business under an alias,
may find an answer to its inquiry as to
whether the McKinley bill has had
any effect upon the price of rooting tin
in the United States in the following
letter: "
Peobia, III- Nov. 27, 1891. Editor
American Economist. A short time ago
we bought fifty boxes of Laufman's
American tin (terne) plutes, and are sell
ing them at f 1 per box less than Welsh
Dlatea ot the same grade. It is an excel
led quality of tin. We also bought a
large supply of Lautman s tin sheets, id
lengths of ninety-six inches; these we
make iuto eave troughs and conductors
eight lett ia length. We never have
been able to buy Welsh Theets more than
sixty iaches long, sad da not think they
are made as long as Laufinaa's sheets
are. Yours truly,
Clark, Quien & Mobsk.
By Chas. D. Clabk, President.
The new tariff on tin-plate has been
in operation for rather less than six
months, since July 1, 1891, to be ex
act, and here is an Illinois firm selling
American made roofing tin $1 per box
lower than imported goods, and get
ting it in lengths that the Welsh
makers never have put on the market.
Says the Chicago Inter Ocean: Gov
ernor Campbell, of Ohio, in an inter
view, calls attention tcJ" the fact that
all the Democratic candidates for
president for the last thirty years
haye come from New York, and in
the very nature of things Democrats
in other parts of the country are be
ginning to think that thirty years is
long enough to suffer defeat to glorify
one state. It is just possible that the
Democratic party may act on Gov
ernor Campbell's suggestion. Tam
many has become such a stench in the
nostrils of the people without regard
to political parties that no one outside
of Tammany cares to see it extend its
power to Washington. But what will
the Democrats dot They must have
New York, and they cannot have that
without Tammany. The tiger is even
more dangerous to the Democrats than
to the Republicans.
The Eugene Guard, referring to
certain papers that are early in de
nouncing the Australian ballot law a
failure and humbug, says: "The new
system has not yet been tried in Ore
gon except in the recent election in
Baker City and therefor we have no
reason to complain. In other states
where the system of voting is in vogue
it is pronounced excellent Our sister
state of Washington commends it
highly. Of course it is an expense,
but that amounts to nothing hen
free and fair vote is obtained. In
small precincts the law will probably
not be productive of better results, but
in towns of 1000 inhabitants and over
vote buying will be minimized. It is
noticeable that no state that i
adopted the system has repealed the
law.
J he senatorial contest in Uhio is
narrowed down to Sherman and Fora
ker, and the nation at large will de
sire the election ot Mr. Sherman in
preference to Mr. Foraker, notwith
standing the fact that the latter has
been true to the party, and has done
honest and good work for its suprem
acy. As a nnancier, senator bherman
has no superior, and was the origina
tor of tbe present financial policy
of the government. It is for the
best interests of Ihe Republican party
t,nat
the wisdom of . Mr, Sherman
should influence the councils of the
nation, and the Ohio legislature'should
pay attention to thia
Perhaps it is better that the trouble
between Chili and the United States,
at this late day, be settled amicably,
The dead sailors cannot be restored to
life, and the indignities suffered by
American citizens in that country
cannot be remedied. If, when the
howling mob of Spanish-Americans,
were killing our seamen and offering
insults to our flag, the guns of the
Baltimore had forced an apology for
plomacy, in its cool and compromising
manner, can have full scope.
HILL AND HIS BAZOO.
The elevation of Grover Cleveland
i.o the presidency brought into promi
nence David B. Hill, says the Chicago
Inter Ocean, who, in consequence of
that elevation, was himself raised from
the insignificance of the lieutenant
governorship of New York to the chief
magistracy of that state, the largest
a ad in very many respects the first
state in the union. Now, after an
incumbence of nearly nine years, he
goes from the executive chamber at
Albany to a seat in the United States
senate. In a formal farewell to one
office he sounds his loud bazoo on
national politics, doing it with a brav
ado suggestive of a Bowery boy or
Baltimore thug.
Governor Hill has the distinction of
being the only third-term governor of
New York since Governor Tompkins
went out ot office in 1817, who, except
the first governor, George Clinton, was
the only other one in the entire list to
attain fo long a lease of that high
office. It must be admitted that such
a man surely has some sort of special
talent Ho has shown no statesman
ship in word or deed, but in the pull
ing of wires he i3 an expert. It has
been said of Aodrew Jackson that he
was the best politician and the poorest
statesman ever in the White House,
and a somewhat similar verdict may
be passed upon David B. Hill. His
speech of New Year's eve was shallow
and thin, the only ingredient being the
cheapest sort of demagogism. It may
all Jbe summed up in this: Throw
principles and policies all to the dogs,
and set up a bowl over the billion
congress. .Again and again he uses
this term, as if iteration were argu
ment and vulgar blackguardiim the
scath of denunciation. He protests
against the passage by this house of
any Mills bills, Morrison bills, single
bills, general bills, or anything posi
tive in the way of legislation. He
would have the speaker and the chair
man of the committee on appropria
tions lock the national treasury and
go off with the key until March, 1893.
He wants both McKinley bills re
pealed, also the Sherman silver bill,
but ho protests against doing any
thing in those directions until after
the next presidential and congressional
election.
The fundamental assumption of Hill
is that the American people are an
ignorant rabble who may be wrought
up to a frenzy of indignation over the
magnitude of the appropriations of
congress, and who can be induced to
forget everything else in a fierce de
mand for retrenchment. Evidently he
intends to devote himself at Washing
ton to the urgence of this sort of poli
tics upon the Democratic majority in
the house.
It would be idle to speculate upon
the prospects of his success. From a
strictly Republican point of view noth
ing could be more desirable than that
Hillism should prevail. The people
have sufficient intelligence to under
stand the real facts in the case, pro
vided only they are nude prominent
enough to attract and hold general
attention. If used as a side issue, the
cry against the billion congress might
help the Democracy a little, for it cer
tainly seems like a very large amount
of money for even a nation like the
United States to collect and disburse
in two years, but if d velt upon until
really understood in its more import
ant details the public would appreciate
the fact that there was very little, if
any, extravagance, and no boodle
whatever in all that expenditure.
CHILI AND ARBITRATION.
The slow discussion of the Chilian
question is further embarrassed by an
official or semi-official proposition from
the southern republic to submit the
cause to the arbitration of a friendly.
power. The proposition, says the
Chicago Inter Ocean, comes strangely
from the only member of the group of
Latin republics that refused to assent
to that clause in the programme of the
late Pan-American congress which
provided that all disputes between re
publics - on this continent should be
submitted to arbitration. Whether
Chili shall be given the privilege of
arbitration in this matter without en
tering into the general covenant be
tween the republics of the Latin races
and that of the United States may be
worth consideration.
Under any circumstances, there are
some things not adjudicable, for adjud
ication implies doubt The measure
of penalty may be adjudged upon a
confessed offense, but the fact of of
fense can . not be adjudged after its
confession. Until the report of that
strange and secret bureau which in
Chili ia known as the criminal court is
published no one ia this country can
'say whether there is or is not doubt of
the penal liability of the Chilian gov
ernment for the acts of its citizens.
If tbe reports of the judge of crime
amount to a confession of the liability
of his government, then the question
of fact is not subject to adjudication,
though the measure of damages may
be. If, as is probable,- the report of
tbe judge of crime be a special plead
ing framed to create doubt as to fact,
then the question aiises: "Shall the
United States consent to an arbitra
tion of a frivolous plea framed to dis
guise a fact?' It is well to be cour
teous, but in national affairs dignity
counts for something.
Meanwhile, it is gratifying to know
that the newly inaugurated adminis
tration of the Chilian republic has
abated somewhat of the insolent tone
of its revolutionary predecessor.
A Democratic exchange says: "The'
Democratic majority in congress pro
pose to inaugurate the era of retrench
ment by doing away with the clerks of
committees that seldom meet and have
but little business to transact. This is
a movement which the overtaxed peo
ple will appreciate. It will be fol
lowed by retrenchment all along the
line." This is Democratic economy,
and, further retrenchment will be
made in cutting down the River and
Harbor bill to the lowest minimum.
This coin will be locked in the
treasury, and the vaults will be barred
to the people's demand for money to
ease the pressure of hard times.
The hoarding of this surplus will do
the country no good, as money lying
in the treasury is absolutely useless to
the nation or the citizens.
PROTECTION OR FREE TRADE
WHICH t
Not in the United States alone is
protection to home industries product
ive of greater prosperity to the mass
of the people than is given by free
trade. The statistics of France bear
like witness to those of our own coun
try. Mr. John Morley, one of Glad
stone's stauncheat supporters in the
British parliament, speaking to the
Amalgamated Society of British En
gineers, declared:
It is an awful fact really not ahort of
awful that in this country, with all its
wealth, its vast resources, all its power, 45
per cent. that is to say nearly half of all
the persona who reach the age of 60 are or
liaye been paupers.
This terrible indictment of the con
dition of the English people under
fre trade is framed by an English free
trader, and by the very one who is
most likely to be leader of the Liberal
party after the death of Gladstone.
Another Englishman, after quoting
Mr. Morley, says:
Such is the state of things in free trade,
Protestant, liberty-loving England. In
republican and protectionist France we find
a very different state of things existing, for
M. De Foville proves from statistics of death
duties that only 12 per cent, of the adult
population who die fail to pay by their ex
ecutors legacy duty to the government.
Legacy duty is paid in France for 450,000
out of every 570,000 deceased adults.
That is to say, Mr. Morley confesses
that 45 per cent, of the people who
reach the age of 60 years in his free
trade country are or have been pau
pers. M. De Foville proves that 88
per cent, of all 'adults who die in his
protected country leave "property be
hind them on which their successors
pay duty.
It is asserted in Omaha that the
compact between tbe Union Pacific
and Northwestern roads is shortly to
be ended. This report is based on the
fact that the Union Pacific road has
issued a secret circular to all its agents
calling attention to the fact that Un
ion Pacific trains now make close con
nections with the Milwaukee fc St.
Paul The Union Pacific has only
recently changed its time card so as to
make these connections, and report
has it that the near trans-continental
train service to bs shortly estab
lished will be over the Milwaukee and
Union Pacific roads from Chicago
westward and that the Northwestern
will be left out
.ine state ooara ot equalization is
receiving some severe criticism, and
whether censure is merited or not,
there is no mistake that the method of
assessing property in different counties
in Oregon is not faultless. That
property in one portion should be
assessed at one-half its value, and in
another at two thirds or three-fourths,
implies an inequality in bearing the
burden of taxation. That some uni
form system should be followed, and
that property-owners in Multnomah
county should pay taxes in proportion
to those residing in Malheur is simply
justice to all concerned. This should
be enforced by state law, and then
there can be no reason for complaint
Mr. Mills and his reformers are
fearful that the Democratic house of
representatives will ruin the country
and insists upon a purchasing agent
for the house. They claim that where
every man in authority buys what he
wants the expense is enormous. Al
ready the committee on accounts has
been called upon to audit bills amount
ing to $200,000 for supplies pur
chased, and this is just the beginning
of the Democratic "reform'' congress.

TELEGKAPHIC.
The Kailroad Wins the Suit.
Washington, Jan. 4. The United
States supreme court rendered a decision
to-day in favor of tbe Northern Pacific
Railway Company in a mandamus suit
brought against it by the territory of
Washington, ex rel Hiram Dustin, prose
cuting attorney of Yakima county, to
compel the Railway to maintain a station
and stop its trains at Yakima City.
Justice Gray rendered the opinion of the
court ; Justices Brewer, Field and Harlan
dissented.
The bill set forth that Yakima City at
tbe time of buildiag tbe road was the
county seat and the largest town in that
county, and the object of the railroad
company in refusing to make Yakima
City a railroad station was to ruin tbe
town and enhance tbe value of tbe town
site of North Yakima, wbich it had
located on unimproved lands belonging
to tbe railroad company. Justice Gray,
in tbe opinion of the court, says the writ
oT mandamus to compel trie railroad cor
poration to do a particular act in con
structing its road or building or in run
ning its trains can be issued only when
there is a specific legal duty on its part
to do that act and clear proof of breach
of duty. Courts have so held even in
the matter of establishing" a station
terminus of the road. The difficulties in
issuing such mandamus are much in
creased when it is sought to compel
roads to stop trains at any particular
pluce. The location of stations and
warehouse for receiving or delivering
passengers and freight, involys a com
prehensive view of the interest of the
public as well as of the corporation and
the consideration of many circumstances
concerning tbe amount of business and
convenience of a particular location which
are more appropriate to be determined
by the directors of tbecompany, in case
of the abuse of - their discretion by the
legislature cr by administrative boards
entrusted by the legislature with that
duty, than by ordinary judicial tribunals.
Justice Gray says the charter of tbe
company does not impose any specific
dutv as to the maintenance and size of
stations, and that to compel thediiectors
to be controlled by courts or- by writs of
mandamus' in establishing stations, would
be inconsistent with many previous de
cisions. I ho nnding below, he says,
shows the people living in the surround
ing country, considered as a community,
would be better accommodated at North
Yakima than at Yakima City. Tbe com
pany denies the frandulentiotent charged
by Yakima City, and it was not louod
by the jury. The fact that the town of
North- Yakima was laid out by the com
pany on its own land cannot impair tbe
rights nf the inhabitants of that town,
Justice Brewer rendered a vigorous oral
dissent, which was concurred in by
Justices Harlan and Field. He said
when the railroad built its line it found
a city already established, tbe county
seat, and the largest place along its road
for m-my miles Every public interest
required tbe station should be so estab
usnea. instead toe railroad company
went three or four miles furrher along
and laid out a town on its own land. No
reason was given for such a course. Tbe
railroad neglected and abandoned its
public duty to assist its private ends.
Any one who knows the process of rail
way building knows it is a common
thing to build up a town and pull down
another in this manner, if tbe established
towns offer an insufficient bonus for a
station. Tbe dissenting justices, be said,
thought tbe court bad sufficient power to
restrain in sucn proceedings.
(Sherman Komlaated.
Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 6. Tbe Repub
licans of Ohio have spoken and John
Sherman is to succeed himself in tbe
United States senate. Foraker is defeated,
but even in defeat his leadership excites
the admiration ot his' opponents, and
be is to-night more than eveu the idol of
those dauntless young Republicans, who
have given him such noble allegience for
three days. There has been but one
result staring these hardy enthusiasts in
tbe face, tbe ultimate election of Sherman.
But eyeq the inevitable was unable to
dampen tbeir enthusiasm, and they found
glory in going down to defeat with their
leader, and exhibiting a devotion which
none but tne nery Jforaker could have in
spired in the young Republicans of Ohio.
With the expiration ot tbe senatorial
term to wbich Sherman Is to be elected,
be will have completed forty-four years
of continuous public service. It will be
a record without parallel in the history
ot American statesmanship, tor every
year wiil have been spent in Washington
and in tbe service of tbe federal govern
ment John Sherman is 69 years old.
He was elected to coDgresa in 1854, at
tbe time of the Kansas-Nebraska troubles,
and as a member, of tbe congressional
committee on tbe question of tbe exten
ion of slavery, in 1854, be wrote his
famous anti-slavery report, wbich thrilled
the nation, and made him one of the
prominent leaders of tbe day. How well
he has maintained his prominence in tbe
service of six years in the lower house,
four years in tbe cabinet as secretary of
the treasury, and an aggregate of twenty'
eight years in tbe senate, the pages of
American history will bear record.

Charges Against Two Physicians.
Skittle, Wash., Jan. G. The state
medical board, now in session, had fifty
applications for examination, but only
thirty one actually appeared to stand the
test. Tbey were given papers on fourteen
different subjects, and the result will be
announced Friday. It is certain, how
ever, that some ol the candidates for
license will be plucked. To-morrow tbe
board will have two trials, one of Dr. J.
F. Cropp, of Walla Walla, and the othtr
ot Dr. Powell Reeves of Tacoma, for
"unprofessional or dishonorable con
duct." This general charge has eight
specifications. That against Dr. Cropp
is "conviction ot any offense involving
immoral turpitude." He is charged
with immorality. Dr. Reeves is accused
of obtaining fees on tbe assurance that
manifestly incurable diseases can be
permanently cured and advertUing his
business by making untruthful and im
probable statements. It his license is re
voked, be will probab!y carry the case
into the courts aud test the constitution
ality of the act under which the state
medical board is created aud acts.
Found on the Track.
Pendleton, Or., Jan. 6, Three miles
below Pendleton, tbe trainmen of tbe
eastbound freight, No. 26, noticed a dead
Iudi&n on tbe track between the rails,
and the train was stopped for investiga
tion. There was found to be very little
lelt ot tbe untortunate brave. His head
bad been ground to pieces, and his body
had been frightfully dismembered.
Further than that he was run over by
some train, there is no telling the
manuer of his death. A number ot In
dians were on the platlorm ot last night's
westbound passenger train when it left
tne depot, and this one might have lallen
off. Again he might have been walking
on the track or laid down to enjoy a
drunken slumber. The remains which
werb scattered for a quarter of a mile
along the track, were brought to town
this afternoon and an inquest was held. I
Ibey are believed to be tbose of an
Indian named O-We- Ho, although there
are no means of identification.
