1TKINLEY ON TARIFFS.
Governor McKinley does not talk
tariff like a college professor to whom
. political economy is a bloodless theory,
or like a manufacturer to whom it is a
defense to his trade against competi
tion with foreign products, says the
Chicago Inter Ocean, or like a wage
earner to whom it affords better pay
than could be had without it. It is
true that he defends the theory cf pro
tection from the philosophic stand
point, that he illustrates its ubcs by
facts and figures that prove how great
ly the manufactures of - the country
have been increased by it, and that in
dicate a yet greater increase of ihe'ni
in the near future, and that he rejoic
ingly proclaims its beneficial influence
upon American labor, but beyond all
- these things, including them all and
exceeding them all, he glorifies the
tariff as a patriotic And humanitarian
measure. Others demonstrate, be
vivi6ea He talks of tariff in the
lofty vein of one who is a philanthro
pist as well as a politician and a pb.il-
- osopher.
Printed speeches generally read cold
ly but not even "cold type" can take
the warmth out of the speech de
livered by the governor of Ohio at the
Auditorium ratification meeting. It
matters not whether he who reads it
be a free-trader or a protectionisc,
whoever reads it feels that he who
SDoke it believed in what he said. It
is full of "the spirit" which ''giveth
life." .
The enthusiast often makes more
: converts to his creed than the statis
- tician, but when a man is a master of
statistics and is pervaded by a high
-- enthusiasm that colors every fact and
. warms every argument that he evolves,
he becomes a leaders of men and a
- creator of issues. It is the wonderful
power of breathing the breath of pa
" triotic life into the dry bones of sta
tistics that distinguishes McKinley
from every other advocate of protective
tariffs.
He cited no new figures, produced
no new facts in his speech at the Au
ditorium, but how he' made the old
ones glow with lifel New facts and
new figures on behalf of protection can
be but additions to old ones. -. New
industries may bring new facts in
' proof of the assertion that protection
creates American manufactures, but
they will be facts merely corroborative
of those concerning tbe steel rait - in
dustry, the silk industry, or other in
dustries that protection already has
created. New figures for next year,
or it may be next month, may show an
increase in our foreign commerce, an
increase in the savings of labor, an
increase in the rate of wages, but they
will be figures merely in corroboration
of the old truth, proved by old figures,
that protection does increase manu
factures, does increase the savings of
labor, does increase the rate of wages.
But when McKinley talks of these in
creases he makes them, integral parts
of the emotional, as well as of the ma
terial, life of the nation. He is more
than a scientific economist; he is that
and a warm blooded American.
of the home product. Regarding the
silver question both parties are equally
divided, and there are as many gold
bugs in Democratic ranks as there are
in the Republican party. If free
coinage of silver or gold as a basis
were the issues in the coming cam
paign, both parties would be di
vided, and we do not believe there oic
more free-coinage advocates in Demo
cratic ranks than in tne Re
publican party. One fact is ap
parent, and that is, this ques
tion can never be a national oar,
and in this it differs from that of the
industrial policy. Democrats, in Ore
gon as elsewhere, are in favor of Bait
lsh tree-tradP. while iiepublicans are
stronar advocates ot protection tor
American industries. Iu former years
otherquestions comprised thedivergiDg
line between Federalists and Demo
crats, but since I860 the parties have
been divided on far different issues,
And, when Gov. Pennoyer stated free
silver or coinage on a gold basis would
have settled the last election, for or
against the candidates, we believe he
was mistakt-n. On protection tbe
state is fully 10,000 RepuLlican; but
on the silver question taking into
consideration that Democrats and Re
publicans are . equally divided it
would have made no difference in the
result.
In our reading of scripture we learn
' : th6re was a time when the Israelites
- supported the lands of Moses in his
prayers to God, and, with no intention
at profanity, we believe the time has
' arrived when every community, inter
ested in an opsn river, should, support
the efforts of Senator Dolph and Con
gressman Hermann in incorporating
into the River and Harbor bill an ap
propriation for a ship-railway between
this city and dead water, which is the
only feasible means of overcoming the
obstructions to navigation in the Co-
. lumbia river above this point.' The com
pletion of the locks at the Cascades is
only beneficial to The Dalles and vi
. cinity; but a boat railway to overcome
the rapids at this point is a permanent
relief to the states of Orpgon, Wash
ington and Idaho This improvement
is not narrowed down to the simple
. advantage of Eastern Oregon and
Washington, but will open the Colum
bia river to the commerce of the
entire northwest, and how while
'the fight is on" there should be willing
hands to support' those of Hon. Binger
Hermann and Hon. J. N. Dolph, who
are battling nobly in the halls of con
gress for the best interests of the In
land Empire. In this regard, we
fully endorse tha editorial in that able
exponent of the best interests of the
state the Oregoniann its advocacy
of a compromise by striking out of the
senate amendments the appropriations
for the ship canal from Seattle to Lake
Washington. This is a local enter
' prise, and should . be built by those
interested and who would receive the
benefit; bu the boat-railway at this
point would solve the intricate prob
lem of freight rates for the entire
northwest, and would reduce to the
minimum freight rates to tbe
board. Dolph, Mitchell and Hermann
are fighting for the boat-railway; in
other words, an open river from Ket
tle Falls to the sea, and every news
paper, board of trade and town coun
cil should support them.
DEMOCRATIC CAPITAL
We shall soon experience in the
United States one of the detestable
features ia free institutions, and that
is the scheminz and trickery used to
procure votes in a presidential contest.
The Democracy, by reason of its lack
of and distinctive national policy, will
be forced to resort to questionable
means to secure votes, and matters
will be spread before the people in a
fallacious light. While Republicans
can point to the history of the past'
twenty-five years and say to the elec
tors we have given you a united and
free country, an establishment of the
national credit in the full redemption
of national obligations, congressional
aid for river and harbor improve
ments, a Round and safe currency, and
protection to American industries and
reciprocity with South American re
publics, the Democrats can only refer
to an obstruction policy in each of
these measures, and no legislation that
they have ever passed in favor of the
development of the country or the
betterment of the condition of the
citizens. In this emergency the ad
ministration of Mr. Harrison will be
unjustly attacked, and capital will be
attempted to be made because Mr.
Reid did not obey tbe commands of
the typographical union in conducting
the New York Tribune, although he
paid union wages. The statesmanship
exhibited by the administration in the
peaceful settlements of the Italian
Mafia affair, the Behring sea contro
versy and the Chilian trouble will be
condemned by every Democratic paper
in the country, and more attention will
be paid to the differences that former
ly existed between a labor organiza
tion in New York city and the Tri
bune than to Mr. Reid's excellent
management of the nation's affairs at
tbe court of France. Thus, when the
campaign fairly opens, Bourbon ora
tors will lay more stress on trivial
matters which will excite the preju
dices of the masses than to the sola
tion of intricate questions of national
import and international policy. But
the American people usually cast the
elective franchise intelligently, and
the tariff or the policy to be pursued
towards other nations are not dis
cussed, voters will render a decision at
the ballot box.
INDUSTRIOUS FARMERS WEL
COME. In the usual animositv exhibited by
certain persons, who, by accident,
were born in this country, a great out
cry is made against foreigners owinng
land or other property in this country,
and this is indicative of a narrow view
upon general matters. What difference
is thare if subjects of Germany, France
or "England invest their capital here if
they pay the average amount of taxes
and do not attempt to control national
affairs to the injury of free institu
tions. The right of domicile was
granted to all residents subjects of a
different ' state even in mediaeval
times, and it is a relic of barbarism to
persecute thein in this age of the
world. If they will plow and culti
vate our" prairies and highlands, and
add to the wealth of the country by
production it is an insignificant
matter where they were born, or to
what empire or monarchy they owe
allegiance. Of course, it would be
much preferrablo if they were citizens
of the United States; but if the people
haven't the capital to develope our
rich resources we should extend the
hand of welcome to any capitalist who
would invest his money. This same
principle is more applicable to manu
facturing industries than to the culti
vation of agricultural lands. The men
of wealth and the free-trade policy
of England has made tbe few million
aires and the many paupers are very
desirable to inaugurate these fac
tors of advancement, and whether the
man is ' a Jew, a Russian, German
or Englishman, if he will spend his
money here send it in circulation
among our needy millions he should
be encouraged. Every foreigner who
has his wealth invested here has an
interest in tho permanency of our in
stitutions, and is a much more desira
ble accession to our population than
tbe tramp or bummer, whose vote can
be purchased for a drink of whisky,
and whose only concern in the govern
ment is the immunity from arrest for
crimes of which be is guilty, and the
ease with which he can procure a
sustenance without work. Nationality
is cultivated to an extreme in this
republic, more to than it was in an
cient Greece or Rome, and the native
pauper and spendthrift, who lives off
the community, is more respected and
entitled to greater privileges than the
foreigner, who speeds his wealth and
uses his labor for the development of
the resources of the country. The
country needs all the capital that it
can secure, whether from . native or
foreign sources, and all desirous of in
vesting in land or industries should re
ceive hearty welcome.
point of political wtight and strength.
The secretaryship of state is tbe office
reserved for the most distinguished
political leaders, who often fail to
measure up to the required standard
of availability as vote getters in tbe
elections. It ia reported that the office
of secretary of state is now to be
offered to Mr. Chauncey M. Depew, of
New York, one of the best-known
public men of the country, who was
the recognized leader of the portion of
the New York delegation which ad
hered to tho . fortunes of President
Harrison. Air. Depew would make
a dignified and graceful secretary of
state, and would have the best wishes
of the country without distinction of
party for his success in tbe manage
nient of the country's foreign rela-
tionH.

PROBABILITIES.
ENEMIES TO AN OPEN RIVER.
The Chicago convention has been in
session the second day, and the indi
cations point strongly toward Mr.
Cleveland being the nominee. As
Democrat no one would be more ac
ceptable to a certain class of inde
pendent voters, because he has demon
strated . that he possesses the honesty
of his convictions, and, perhaps, the
country would be safer in his hands
as executive than any other Democrat
who could be named. Ou tbe mone-
tary question he is in favor of a sound,
gold basis, and is no follower of the
tree-silver craze. Otherwise he is
Democrat, and believes in tariff reform
and in small appropriations in the
River and Harbor bilL He may not
be the most brilliant man in the
part yK and never gave any indication
of statesmanship during the four years
he was president; but he has
higher and purer idea of politics than
Hill, and is not a convert to the faith
like Palmer, Gray or Boies. - Although
not creating the effervescing enthu
siasm that Hill would, still the con
servative element in the party and the
mugwump contingent would give him
a firmer support. Mr. Harrison
stands much fairer before the country.
He is not only in favor of a sound
currency, but also of internal improve
ments and the fostering care of the
general government being extended to
American industries; and if he

It is reported in Chicago papers that
Gov. Pennoyer, referring to the late
election in Oregon,said "the Democrats
could easily have carried the state if
they had not abandoned free coinage
and indorsed Grover Cleveland. From
8000 to 10,000 Democrats were driven
from the Democratic ranks to the
People's party by the open treachery
to principle and the blind idolatry of
the late Democratic state convention,
which changed a party platform to
suit its plutocratic candidate." In
the first place, this state is decidedly
Republican, because of the protection
principles of the party. It desires
development of its resources, and this
an only be', done by favoring the
party that will discriminate on behalf
the votes cast.
The press of the northwest should
have been a nnit in favor of the ship
railway from this city to dead water
above, when the senate , amendment
was first presented, and we are fearful
that it is now too late to make a suc
cessful move in this direction. Sena
tors Dolpb and Mitchell and Mr. Her
mann in the house have used honest
efforts in this direction; but being met
by Gov. Pennoyer's letters in favor of
portage roads and the apathy of a
Democratic house their hard work has
been so far unproductive of the desired
result. The reason that this perma
nent improvement was not inaugur
ated at this session of congress is be
cause tbe opposition came from the
northwest, and principally from the
executive of the state of Oregon.
We received to-day from Senator
Dolph a copy of the document which
was placed on the desk of tbe senators
and representatives by Mr. Paul
Mohr, projector of the portage road on
the Washington side, during the ex
amination of the senate amendment
appropriating $250,000 for the com
mencement at The Dalles of tbe boat
railway. He says the people of Ore
gon, Idaho and Washington object to
boat-railroads.
The leading papers of the northwest
have advocated this scheme, and we
mention tbe Oregonian, of Portland,
Astorian and Examiner, of Astoria,
Statesman, of Salem; Ledger and
News, of Tacoma, Review, of Spokane,
and Union Journal and Statesman, ot
Walla Walla, in the state of Washing
ton. The Statesman and Democrat, of
Boise City, Idaho, are in favor of the
permanent improvement of the Colum
bia, as is the Teller, the leading paper
of the northern portion of ' the state.
Every paper in Eastern Oregon has
favored the project except one or more
obscure patent-out-side weeklies. -
Further he says that bulk will have
to be broken with a boat railway.
This is incorrect. The craft will be
transported from the upper to the
lower river ; without displacement of
one pound of the cargo.
The kind of vessels must be different
on the upper from those on the middle
and lower Columbia. This is not
true. The Harvest Queen, Nez Perce
Chief and other boats, built at Ce
lilo on the upper, are no
engaged in the traffic of the lower
Columbia. Any steamer that can
navigate the river from Celilo to Lew
iston, is in every way competent for
the traffic on the middle and lower
Columbia. This has been proved in
several instances and cannot be 'con
troverted.
There is no strategical points on the
north side of tbe Columbia river near
this point, and a boat-railway would
not interfere with the Paul Mohr rail
way. The fact of the matter is that
this gentleman is determined to block
any permanent improvements to the
navigation of the river, and is un
doubtedly working in favor of the
railroad company. . In such an emer
gency the people of Eastern Oregon
should extend every aid possible to
our senators and representative.
The re-nomination of Mr. Cleveland
is the only instance in which a candi
date who has'been defeated for a sec
ond term was again placed before the
people for their 8uffrage,and this is not
considerrd in any manner a wise pol
icy. Nothing has happened since his
defeat in 1S88 to insure his election in
1892, and in the meantime Senator
Hill of New York has come into
prominence as a Democrat of the free
trade, free-silver and "bedrock" Ptamp,
Mr. Hill becomes prominent by reason
of being a "favorite son" of a state,
the electoral vote of which has to be
secured to insure Democratic success
in November, and he is a devout fol
lower of Tammany and an adept in
political methods. Of course Mr.
Cleveland's nomination is not agree'
able to those who desired Mr. Hill to
head the ticket in November, and
without they can be cajoled into peace
ful acquiescence New York's thirty
six electoral votes will not he cast for
the party's candidate. A0ain, Mr.
Harrison defeated him four years ago
with the civil service under his con
trol; and it would seem that the
contest was much easier this year
because political matters are re
versed, and the civil patronage is
under control of Mr. Harrison. Of
course, in these days of civil service
reform, it is not to be presumed that
either of these would exert any undue
influence to secure the support of their
appointees. There is atill another ad
vantage possessed by the Republican
candidate, and that is, he has given to
the nation during the past four years
a pure administration of affairs, and in
international ' matters has demon
strated the ability of a statesman and
has made tbe United States respected
abroad. There is no doubt, even if
the Democratic party was a unit in
favor of Cleveland, he would be hand
icapped in these matters, and, running
as he does on a free-trade platform
with such a preponderance of senti
ment in favor of protection, he has a
still further weight to carry in the
presidential race, f rom tbese prem
ises the conclusion follows that the
Republican party in November has
better hopes of success than it had in
1888, and Mr. Harrison brighter pros
pects of success than Mr. Cleveland,
It has become a proverb that the
Democratic party, in its ideas of prog
ress is satisfied to occupy the former
camping ground of Republicans.
From its inception to the present time
the Republican party has advocated
protection, and by the majority report
of the Chicago convention it seems
that party is preparing itself to take a
stand in favor of the doctrine. In a
few years it will undoubtedly be in
harmony with this principle. This
has been the plan it has adopted for
more than a quarter of a century. It
maligned Lincoln and called him a
buffoon when president; now it wor
ships at his shrine. It opposed pay
ment of the national debt in gold when
the war closed; but is in favor of pub
lie honesty now. It opposed extend
ing suffrages to the colored men of the
south; but now uses, every- device to
secure the vote. It said resumption
was impossible in 1879; but now says
it could have been accomplished years
before. For a long period of history
Democrats have been obstructionists
of every progressive Republican meaa-
ure, and have endorsed them after
they have 'become successful. Its fu
ture may be judged by the past,-and,
whoever may be elected president, its
policy will be to oppose every bill in
troduced for the benefit of the people
and the development of the country,
whether it be for river and harbor
improvements or protection to indus
tries; but after they have passed and
have been proved beneficial it will
heartily endorse them. : "
The Union Journal, of Walla Wal
la, comes forward nobly advocating
the permanent improvement of the
navigation of the Columbia River by
the passage of the senate amendment by
congress providing for the construction
of the ship-railway at this point Ore
gon, Washington and Idaho are
qually interested in an open river,
and this cannot be accomplished - by
the temporary expedients of portage
roads.
The murder of Mamie Walsh, a lit
tle girl 13 years old, near Milwaukie
a suburb of Portland last Wednes
day, is most revolting in detail, and
furnishes almost conclusive evidence
of total depravity in some of the hu
man species. That the child was
outraged by the brute before being
killed is proyed beyond a dcubt, and
this makes the crime more horrifying.
Every mother and father in the state
will feel an interest in having the in
human fiend punished to the full ex
tent of the law, and if summary ven
geance without court or jury ds
meted out to the villain the people
will excuse the act. When children
of such tender years are not safe from
the assault of inhuman tigers,it is time
that parents band themselves together
for the protection of those whom they
love and cherish.

Speaker has to leave bis desk and take
refuge ia front of the platform, the ra.n
ia pouring down in a stream on big desk.
Dewitt, of New York, takes the plat
form to present Hill's name.
Burke Cuckrane asks tbut they wait a
few minutes as tbe gentlemen can't stand
on tbe platform without getting wet.
Band started to playing "One more Rivtr
to cross."
Motion that the galleries be cleared if
disorder continues. Carried.
Tbe storm is subsiding but water is
still coming down in maov parts of the
hall.
DeWitt said Nework was in a po
sition where her voice hould be listened
to; that without New York tbe Demo
cratic party could not hope to cast its
electoral vote necessary for the election oi
a Democrstc president. "Hill is not
popular with the Republican party."
Laughter and cheers. He spoke ot Boies
amid cheering and appealed to tbe con
veeution to not ignore tbe choice of tbe
regularly organized Democratic party of
New York.
Col. Fellows takes platform to second
Hill. He said the state of New York
lrom the western boundary to the ocean
demands the nomination ot Pivid B. Hill;
the vote of New York is absolutely cs
sential to a Democratic success in Nov
ember. Hill has made New York Dem
ocratic in every department and function
and give him a chance as president and
he would make the nation as thoroughly
so.
Duncomb of Iowa takes platform to
present Boies. He said for the first time
a man would be presented ior the high
office of president who lives west of tbe
Mississippi river.

were on their feet.
Chicago, Juce 23. Burke Cochrane
appeals for silence that Daniels may be
beard. He says it New York cannot
have bearing in the convention it is ready
to leave. Great confusion.
Burke Cochraue asks to adjourn till
10:30. Objected to. He said no matter
what action tbe convention took. New
York Democrats could not be disloyal if
tbey tried.
For a real Democrat the state of New
York is as Democratic as the state of
Texas. Cleveland is popular in Republi
can states because his Democracy is
noticeable to the Republicans. He be
lieves Cleveland is not a popular man.
Cheers in galleries.
Cleveland is popular every day in tbe
year except one, and tbat is election day.
If New York is not to be accorded its
candidates give it some other man who
may be acceptable to it. Cleveland s
popularity in New York in 1884 was due
to Burchard and not to bimBelf.
The motion 10 call roll ol states after an
adjournment was withdrawn. Great

Mabshfield, Or., June 21. A tele
gram" from Empire City has just been re'
ceived containing tbe account of some
trouble between A. H. Hinch and
Andrew Wickman, in which tbe latter
lost bis life. Hinch was hauling match
wood on South slough, and tbe two en
gated in a quarrel concerning the right
of way over a road. Wickman, it is
said, raised a crowbar to strike Hinch,
when the latter shot bim dead with a re
volver. Hinch caire to Empire City and
gave himself up. He will make a plea of
self-defense. Hinch is one of tbe earliest
settlers in Coos county, and was married
to a equaw. In early days he made con
siderable money in tbe blacksand mines
and in a store in Marsbfield, owning at
the same time a large portion of the
townsite, which be traded for a farm on
Coos river.

an old pioneer of this county, was found
dead last evening fifteen miles from

from the latter place this morning and
tbe particulars were obtained irom bim.
Two weeks ago Mr. Bounds and bis two
boys went out after cattle, and yesterday
tbe boys went to Looking Glass for sup
plies. On returning they found Mr.
Bounds lying on the ground, 800 yards
frcm tbeir cabin. It ia supposed be fell
dead but a short time before, as tbe body
was . not yet stiff. Heart disease was
likely the cause, as there is no indication

The Case a Myatery.
Victoria, B.C. June 21. Superinten
dent Hussey returned last evening from
tbe mainland, wbere be baa been work
ing on the Boll family murder. Tbe
case is very unsatisfactory, as not tbe
least kit of evidence exists. The body of
a woman was found, but is not certain
whether tbe body ia Mrs. -Bull's. It
Bull's body could be found, there would
be something to work on. Some think
Bull might have done away witb his
familv and then gono off and killed him
self. Tbe case cannot be rushed, but
the officers will not rest until tbey find
out wbere Bull and bis family are.

Frightful Aeeldent on a Cruiser.
Brest, Tune 21. A frightful accident
occurred yesterday on board the new French
cruiser Dupuy de Come. A trial was being
made of her machinery, when the head of I
one of her boilers was blown out and an ex
plosion occurred in one of the coal bunkers,
totally disabling the vessel. The hold was at
once filled with scalding steam and smoke,
while boiling water covered the floor to the
depth of several inches. The unfortunate
stokers and engineers, imprisoned in the
hold, writhed in agony in the scalding steam
that filled their lungs, and, falling to the floor.
were scalded by the hot water. In their
agony they bit themselves and their compan
ions and fought and struggled together. At
tempts to rescue them were met by the same
frenzied resistance, they biting those who
tried to drag them out. Finally I? of them
were taken to the hospital, and a number of
tnem will undoubtedly die in a short time.

Cyru W. Field In Slowly linking-.
New York, June at. Cyrus W. Field,
emaciated atmost to a skeleton and suffering
from extreme nervous prostration, lies in a
crstical condition at his summer borne, near
Iivington-on-the-Hudson. Tbe aged finan
cier's vitality was so low on Saturday night
that his death was momentarily anticipated.
Dr Content, of Tanytown, remained with
him until Sunday morning, when a marked
improvement took place in the venerable
sufferer's condition. He regained strength
rapidly, and yesterday afternoon was taken
out for a short drive Mr. Field now weighs
only 05 pounds. His nervous system is shat
tered and the physicians in attendance say
that his death at any moment would not
surprise them, should a reaction follow the
rally.
"Uneasy lies the head that wears a
crown." If exemplification of this familiar
quotation is needed, it is furnished every
time the czar of Russia eoes on a lournev.
Oo bis late trip to Copenhagen, whither he
went to attend the golden wedding of the
king and queen of Denmark, the Russian
ra lways were guarded by soldiers at every
20 yards, no fewer than 60,000 men being
required to cover tbe entire distance. . All
villages and towns through. which the im
perial train parsed were watched and every
stranger was comoelled to give an account
o f himself or suffer arrest. Truly the price
whicn the despot pays for existence in these
day is a heavy one.

" I can't bear a Pipe," was aa
expression that a few years ago
was very oftea used by smokers,
and with good reason too. Aa
manufacturers had not learned
that to make good smoking- tobao
oo great care and judgment were
required.
The " Seal of North Carolina"
changed all this, it jumped into
popular favor from the start; it
was not a "fancy tobacco," but
was made with one object; that
was, to give the smoker a good
cool reliable tobacco, at a reason
able price. The " Seal " has hit
the popular taste, hence its sue
cess.
