1894
POLITICAL PROSPECTS.
The outlook for a sweeping Repub
lican victory next Jane in Oregon is
ery bright, and if the ticket is not
elected by the largest majority ever
known very many will be "mistaken.
For a long time the state has been
strongly "Republican, and the past
year's experience with Democracy and
Democratic mistakes should greatly
add te its strength. Not only the con
gressional, bat artry candidate on the
state and county tickets should be
elected, and this can be accomplished
if Republicans act in harmony and
not neutralize their strength by fac
tional fights among themselves. With
the federal patronage of Oregon un
der control of the administration, De
mocracy may attempt a brave fight to
make a showing for the party; but this
will be futile with a united Republican
organization. There may even be an
effort to coalesce with the Populists
as there was in 1892 and by this
meaaa snatch viotorv from the jaws of
defeat; bat such tactics may not be any
aearer successful than they were dur
ing the last presidential campaign.
In Eastern Oregon Republicans are
. apparently gaining in numbers every
day, and many disaffected Democrats
have turned their backs on the party
f free trade. Placing wool sn the
free list, in the Wilson bill, have made
these in this county in any manner in
terested in the sheep industry to be
more firmly attached to the doctrine
of protection. . Sheepmen cannot com
pete with fleeces from Australia and
the Argentine Republic, and if this
bill becomes a law they will sell their
flocks and devote their attention to
some other business. We believe the
feeling in this matter in Wasco county
is a correct index of the sentiments
entertained by the same class of per
sons throughout the Inland Empire,
and flock masters have a large follow
ing in every community.
The congressional nominee of the
Republicans im this district, whoever
he may be, ia certain of election, and
: the objeet should be to make' his ma
jority the largest yet received. In
county affairs, perhaps, there are fac
tional differences which may tend to
defeat party nominees; but these can
be harmonized by the earnest efforts
of leaders. No fear is entertained for
the legislative or state tickets, and in-
, dications are that every candidate will
be elected.
Oregon should send the most cor
dial greetings to Republicans in the
east, and effective work done before
next June will increase the. vote to
inch an extent that the November
. states will be greatly encouraged. The
- northwest should emphatically endorse
the doctrine of protection to American
industries, and this state being the
- oldest in this portion of the anion
should at the ballot box, at the com
ing election, seal its faith to Republi
can principles by giving the largest
majority for the ticket it has. ever re
ceived. V
. WHERE THE - BLAME BESTS.
' Some of our Democratic exchanges
are throwing the blame for the de
fiency in the treasury on expenditures
for pensions, and so the old soldiers
are made a scape-goat for mismanage
ment of national affairs by Democracy.
Apparently the Democratic party has
no use for veterans of the last war, ex
cept during election times, and then, if
they vote right, they may enjoy the
inalienable rights of freemen. Rut
this excuse is very flimsy, and canuot
bo supported by reasonable arguments.
During Mr. HarnsonVad ministration
there was mot the least fear entertained
that the treasury would descend to the
f 100,000,000 limit. . As a matter of
fact, the receipts of the government
were so much in excess of expenses,
- that a considerable portion of the sur
plus was used in the purchase of bonds,
not yet due, and by this means tha
public debt was largely reduced. The
bounty of the nation was given with a
very liberal hand to those who had
risked life and limb in its preservation,
and the president, in his message, or
the party platform, did not consider
"pension frauds" as the great evil to
be remedied by congressional legisla
tion. A "change" took place when the
management of affairs was turned over
to Mr. Cleveland and his party, arts
the country realized in a few months
that the status of business was on a
less substantial foundation than before.
Trade in every department became
paralyzed, and the revenues of the na
tion began to decrease in such a rapid
ratio that an appalling deficit was
daily observed by Secretary Carlisle
The $100,000,000 was reached, and
kept on decreasing until the adminis
tration has come to the conclusion to
issue more bonds and increase the na
tional debt $50,000,000 more.
This cannot be blamed on the pen
sion business or the Republican party,
and Democracy must alone stand re
sponsible for the depletion of the pub
lic treasury and the widespread dis
trust among the people. If Mr. Har
risen had been re elected in 1892 bus
iness would have followed its usual
prosperous, channels, and, instead of
selling bonds to make up a deficit,
many of those now outstanding woiilJ
have been purchased to lessen the an
nual interest
In the Democratic house coal is
placed alongside of sugar on the free
list, and Loth these industries must
compete with foreign products or go
to the wall. The bounty on sugar,
under tho McKinley bill, stimulated
the cultivation of beets, from . which
largo quantities of this 'article of food
were manufactured, and it was expected,-
in a few years, the country
would produce enough for home con
sumption : but this industry must die
slaughtered by Democratic hands. CoaJ

cheaply as the foreign article, or it
most go down to its grave. These two
industries will be followed by other
before the Democrats are through
with their work.
BIBLI0AW) DEMOCRACY.
The editor of the Washington Dem
ocrat, published at Pemeroy, is a
Deoocrat amoBg Democrats, and, con
rquentlv is a' free trader, pure and
simple. In the issue of last Thursday,
be belches forth the following in an
article entitled "Who and What is
Democrat?" and it should be read by
all who are tinctured with the falla
cies of that party:
"To solve the question asked in the
head of this article we must go back
to the first lessons given by the Cre
ator to -our first parents while in
state of innocence and before that high
protectionist, his Satanic majesty, in
oculated Adam and Eve with the virus
of the protective system and poisoned
their minds with doctrines in favor of
trusts and combines. These are truths
that appear on every page of biblical
literature, and in the entire profane
history of the human family.
"God himself is a free trader.and it
is his will that commerce should have
no fetters placed on it. This is the
great and main reason that members
of all trusts and combines are his ene
mies and the most wicked men on
earth. Turn to the Bible in Genesis
and read from chapter i:28 to last
verse of said chapter, and there it is
seen that God granted no special priv
ileges, but gave the earth as' a common
heritage to man. All were to dwell
upon it and subdue it for the good of
the race."
If oar esteemed and religious co
temporary will consult his Bible care
fully he will find that God always pur
sued and inculcated the principle of
protection in bis dealings with . his
chosen people, the Israelites, and the
reason that that people have existed
and prospered during centuries of per'
secution by all nations is because they
were careful to practically carry out
the basis principles of this economic
policy. We know little about Adam
and Eve, the garden of E Jen or the
first transgression; and presume Bro.
Mays is equally ignorant on these sub
jects; but from the institution of, the
familv relation, the preservation of
Lot and his house fro a the destruction
of Sodom and Gomorrah, and the es
tablishment of the descendants of
Jacob in the promised land of .Canaan
God has inculcated and panned the
principles of protection in bis dealings
with the human race. But theology
is not authority on thU question any
more than it is on bi-metallism, and
the editor of our cotemporary should
confine these biblical explosions to the
pulpit on Sundays.
In this republio protection has been
tho policy pursued from the inception
of the nation. . Washington, Hamil
ton, Jefferson, Jackson, Clay, - Web
ster and Lincoln were protectionists,
and the efforts to change this policy
have onlv been attempted by Democrats
daring certain periods of our history.
We have always prospered under pro
tection, and have invariably suffered
disasters when the converse has been
tried. The present financial depres
sion is only a repetition of others suf
fered under similar conditions, and as
soon as Democracy leaves the tar
iff alone-business will again'revive and
the country will be prosperous.
Chief Hunt, cf the Portland police
force, at a publio meeting of those
under his control last Monday after
noon, in strong and unequivocal lan
guage discountenanced any member of
that body allying himself with the or
ganization known as the American
Protective association, whose object
appears to be opposition to any politi
cal preferment to mem hers of the
Catholic church. The time has passed
when there is the least necessity for
any discrimination against any denom
ination of Christians in this or. any
other country, and there can be no
reasonable apprehension of danger to
free institutions from Catholics or pro
testants, Buddhists or Mohammedans.
Secret political or religious societies
savor too much of Star chamber or
Inquisitorial methods to meet with
much favor in this republia, and where
freedom of religious worship is granted
to every one, at-d the ballot-box is the
arbitrator between the citizen and offi
cials, there can exist no necessity for
meetings under lock or key or councils
whose proceedings are not designed to
become known to the public. There
is no religious or political test of citi
zenship, and he who obeys the laws, be
he Catholic, Methodist or Baptist, en
joys immunity from any infringement
cf his constitutional rights. When-
over any distinction is made between
citizen, by reason of class, race, re
ligious or other differences, this repub
lic ia no longer a free country, and in
stead of progressing politically we are
retrograding to the barbarism of the
middle ages. We do not believe any
such secret organizations can ever be
come popular with the American peo
ple; and while they cannot be prohib
ited successfully by war, they can be
discountenanced by public sentiment
and will soon sink into a dishonored
graye, .
The weather is not in harmony with
business generally, for the former is
all that could be desired and the lat
ter all that could not be desired.
Since the advent of the present admin
istration, it is some consolation that
the elements have not' joined hands
with the Democratic party to oppress
the American people. In Eastern
Oregon the passage of the Wilson
bill will kill the- sheep industry; but
cattle have thrived on a thousand
hills this winter, and sheep are in
condition to produce good fleeces in
the spring. All this will not over
come the effects of free trade, and
forcing the American producer to
compete with foreign woo). 1
EDITORIAL NOTES.
The Democracy during the present
session of congress should "reform"
the tariff to its complete sati faction,
fur it will not have the opportunity
but a little while to work its own
seet ill in this lino of destruction
of A merican industries.
The Mkcnell Corbett fight took
placp in Jacksonville, Florida, not
withstanding the opposition of the
governor. It was hoped that this dis
graceful affair would be stopped by the
authorities; but they appeared to be
powerless against the will of the pub
lic. Governor Lewelling, of Kansas, has
aroused the ire of Mrs. Lease, and she
is determined to have her revenge en
the executive. If the governor had
any respect for the future peace and
happiness of the Populist party be
would have dealt very gently with this
woman.
The brutal prizs fiht is a disgrace
to the present advanced stage of civil
ization; but it will be popular so long
as the public journals cater to this de
praved taste by publishing columns in
their daily editions describing the dis
gusting details of these slogging
matches.
Emperor William, of Germany, has
shook hands with Prince Bismarck
and they are good friends once more.
This will be the occasion of great re
joicing throughout the empire, as the
old statesman is universally respected

and is considered tho wisest statesman
in the realm.
Some person from this city has
placed the name ef Hon. H. W. Cor
bett as an eligible candidate for gov
ernor. While we know nothing det
rimental to the character of Mr. Cor
bett, yet we believe another name
could be placed in nomination that
would be more popular and add
greater strength to the party.
Dolph and Mitchell in the senate,
and Hermann and Ellis in the lower
bouse, will voice the sentiment of Or
egon against the Wilson bill, and next
June the people will emphasize its
support of the doctrine of protection
by a rousing majority for the Repub
lican ticket. JStvery day adds strengtn
to the old party in Oregon.
The people in the vicinity of Ellens
burgh have signed contracts to plant
2500 acres in sugar beets the coming
season. With the. bounty on sugar
under the McKinley bill, there is not
much doubt this would be a good in
vestment in any portion of the north
west: but if the Wilson measure be
come a law it will not be a lucrative
enterprise.
Hon. W. R Ellis, in closing his
speech on the Wilson bill oi January
19 ih, very facetiously remarked: "I
think that the time has come for us to
put an end to booming charity, wnich
is about the only thins tbat has re
ceived a boom by reason of the proba
bility of this bill becoming ' a law.'
The people are very fearful that there
will be a necessity for this "boom" to
be kept up for the next three years.
.When labor does not command
high price in the market the ability to

nation of business, factories shutting

and hoarding of money in banis are
the causes of the present distress in
the country. When these assume
their usual conditions property will
appreciate and ' prosperity will again
smile upon (he country.
The Chronicle, one day last week,
called for a report from the water com

There appears to be a wide spread
movement in different portions of the
state to reduce expenses, and public
meetings have been recently held in
Salem and Eugene with this object in
view. Multnomah set the example
with her committee of one hundred,
and others are following her lead. In
this era of the history of the Ameri
can republic, retrenchment and econ
omy are necessary in public and pri
vate affaire, and if our people learn
habits of thrift the lessons taught
by bard times will have accomplished
some good.
in is is toe nnanoiai situation in a
a "nutshell" given by the Hilsboro In
dependent: "The scarcity of money is
what has strangled business in this
county," exclaims Joseph Gaston in
his Farmer's Journal. The truth is
air. uaston mistaaes an enect tor a
cause. There never was a time when
there was more money piled up in the
money ce-ters of the country than
now, and it is seeking investment, but
there is no industry to use it. The
uncertainty of profitable manufactur
ing or trading is too great, and enter
prising business men won't use their
own money, or borrow from others.'
When the Wilson bill is passed and
we have "Democratic free trade" there
will be some activity in importing cir
cles, but then our money will .be car
ried abroad or our indebtedness to
England will be increased. Where
fore, Joseph, our latter estate will be
worse than the former.
The Republicans have little hopes
nf accomplishing anything in congress
ia favor of the doctrine of protection
agains the large majority of Demo
cratic free traders, who, with the ex
ecutive in harmony with their view,
have the - power to dictate legislation
on this economic question. They will
make a brave fight for Anient an in
dustries ; but it is a most forlorn hope,
and there is not the least expectation
of being sueuessful. The battle for
Amerioan wages, American homes and
American products will be one of the
most renowoed in the history of legis
lation in this country, and the Repub
lican party will never need to blush at
the record it rill make. Hon. Dinger
Hermann, in his speech in the house,
presents the Republican side of the
contest in the following language:
"Mr. Chairman, there is little inspi
ration to an advocate in a case who is
informed in aivance by the coutt that
a judgment has already been entered
against bim. Therefore, we as protec
tionists have not much occasion for en
thusiasm ou this side.wben it is known
in advance what will be the fate of
this measure, though we may present
the most conclusive reasoning and the
most favorable showing in support of
eur opposition to it; but, sir, it is at
least, limited aa it is, same consolation
to know tbat an opportunity is oflVred
us now and here, through this house
and to the American people to enter
our earnest protest against tha injury
which is about to be inflicted upon so
large a portion of our people, and upon
such an immense proportion of their
wealth, Tbere is satisfaction also in
another direction, Mr. Chairman, in
knowing that at last the veil has been
cast aside, and we are to have this is
sue presented for the first time as an
issue should always be presented in its
true and real meaning,"
The unlimited coinage of silver is
believed by some to be the only rem
edy for the -evils we are now suffer
ing, and that it would also be the
means of making money cheap. But
this is not true. When Demoracy was
inducted into office the country, id ex
pectation of adverse tariff legislation
became distrustful and toe panic oe-
oan. If all the bullion that could
have been purchased had been coined
into dollars the present bnancial de
presxion would not have been averted
while the conditions existed. As
monnv ia onlv a representative of
value, however plentiful it may be
come, will not increase the price
of labor or augment its productive
power. The amount of labor expended
on any article governs its price to th
coneumer, and this is the only true
measure of value. To receive money
one must give value, or the product of
labor, and the purchasing power of
dollar must be governed by its market
price in the world. Cheap money
means cheap pay for labor or the pro
duct of labor; and as the dollar ap
Droaches nearsr the standard the
bread- wiuner receives better wages.
Tho correspondence between Presi
dent Dole and Minister Willis was
published in the dispatches yesterday
but these do not place the present ad
ministration in a fairer light before
the American people. If the policy
towards the Sandwich islands planned
by Mr. Cleveland had been carried
out every citizen would blush with
shame at the fact that a republican
form of government had been over
thrown by an American prfsident,
and the United States would no
longer have occupied the high position
of being the protector ot tree insti
tutions on this side of the Atlantic,
As it ia, the president of the prpvis
ional government at Honolulu has
won the admiration of the American
people for the determined stand he has
taken, and it is safe to say tbat the
warships and marines of this conntry
will not dare to unseat him. Whether
Ex-Miaister Stevens was, or was not
hasty in his actions is not the question
under discussion. The revolution was
successful, the new government was
acknowleged by the family of nations,
and to subvert it now is an act of hos
tility which should receive the severest
condemnation. -

- "Resolved. Ttiit from the facts and

Washington, Jan. 23. Tbe vote on
the tariff bill thus -far, especially upon
matters in which many of tbe members
are interested, socb as coal and sugar,
have revived the talk of a movement to
recommit. tbe entire Wilson bill. Haines,
of New York, bas been arranging such
a move, but members ef tbe wajs and
means committee say it cannot prevail .
Breckinridge says:
"Tbere has not been a vote on any
amendment which would indicate a
doubt of the final passage of the bill as
a whole. The change in tne sugar sched
ule may induce some gentlemen to say
tbey will vote again; t,t be bill, but this
is due to tbe feeling of tbe moment, and
tbere is little probability that many
democratic votes will be lost to the bill
as tbe result of tbe amendments. On
tbe contrary, the committee is well
pleased that tbe bill bas suffered such
slight changes, as it is far from amount-
ins to a mutilation of tbe measure."
Bryan. Wbiting and others of the com

Tacoma, Wash., Jan. 24 The sensa
tion created among the Norwegians and
Scandinavians here by Edward Brekbut,
an ignorant Swede, wbo preaches elo,
quent sermons while in a trance, contin
ues unabuted. Whether Berkbnsis being
guided directly by God, and his body in
habited by tbe spirit of the Holy Ghost
as claimed, will be doubted by peopl
generally, but it is believed by hundreds
and hundreds of .Norwegian and oweaisn
Lutherans, and many wbo are not mem
bers of tbat church in this city. Cer
tainly tbe young man is not practicing
deception. He cannot account for bis
condition and bis spells of catalepsy or
whatever tbey may be. Re. I. lollef-
son, of the first Norwegian cborcb, tbe
largest of several of that denomination
here, said today :
"I really aad actually believe tbis man

Newton, president of tbe Panama rail'
wav, returned from the iatbmns en tbe
City of Para on Manday. He said yes
terday: "It is absolutely impossible to
say bow tbe Jranama canal stands at
present. The people of the isthmus have
lott confidence io tbe company, and no
one has an idea down tbere wnat is going
to be done. If it is known anywhere it
is in Paris. The canal, however, can'be
constructed much more cheaply and in
less time than tbe Nicaragua canal. Our
railroad bas felt tbe effect of the bsrd
times in the amount of freight that we
have handled. We can get all tbe freight
we want, but it would be at a rate tbat
would not pay as."

tbe foreclosure of a mortgage of $15,000
held by the estate. Tbe property con
sists of one of tbe finest summer hotels
in tbe state and 89 acres of land, laid out
into beautiful grounds. Tbe property
will be disposed of at public suction to

175,000 and it tbe property of the Sent

Mr. Booth was a very wealthy man.
Of course, it is not proper for me to state
tbe value of the estate, even if I could
do so, but It is very large. It is, as you
probably know, all left to bis daughter
and to her children. The property given
by Mr. Beetb to tbe Players' Cmb soon
before bit death, free ot all encumbrance
is alone worth $90,000.
