THE DEMOCRATIC DILEMMA.
The seriate will be watched witk the
greatest anxiety for the next few days
to ee whether the Wilson bill, as it
came from the house, will besuccess-
fullf pawed. Congress has received
sufficient warning fron all pertions of
- the ceuntry of the probable effect of
free trade upon bnsiness and the in
dustries ef the country, and whatever
action ia taken will be after due and
deliberate consideration. Not only
' Republicans, but Democrats have pet
itioned against the passage f the
Wilson bill, and those who supported
the Chicago platform in 1892 do not
favor its provisions now. Ther have
seen the error of their ways, and are
repenting that they ever advocated a
' ehange in the economio policy of the
. nation. -
The popularsentiment of the coun
try dees not support the Democratic
party is hardly any position it has as
sumed since the inauguration of Mr:
Cleveland, and the administration has
set increased its strength with the
rank and file of the organization. This
is well illustrated by the Wilton bill,
which has aroused the antagonist of
the people and created dissension
within the ranks ef the party. On
the stump every Democratic orator
declaimed ; against the robber tariff
and painted golden, scenes when the
IfcKinley bill should ho repealed,
The expectation of this change caused
Manufacturers and capitalists to make
arrangements adapted to the different
auditions promised. This was simply
fallowing safe principles of business,
slnd which any merchant would do
mnder similar circumstances. But no
sooner do the owners of factories and
iron farnaces curtail expenses than the
ssen who oted Democracy in power,
. seeing the practical effects of the Dem
erratic doctrine, regret what they were
' induced to do at the ballot-box,
In 1892, it was generally under
stood that the Chicago platform fa
vored bimetallism, and the repeal of
fche silver purchase clause of the Sher
man act has received severe condem
nation from the friends of silver in
.', the party. The traditions of the Re
publican organization are in favor of
the single standard, and it could not
disappoint any one by specious prom
ises as the Democrats have done.
--It has not been a Tear , since the
1 efcanee was inaugurated, and in the
history of i the country for, the past
Ifty years no party in power has
made so many enemies. The dilemma
it which it is placed will cause dissen
sien in one direction or another. , It
. cannot favor free trade or .protec
tion, free silver or the single standard
and enter the campaign ef 1896 as a
olid phalanx. There are dissensions
now, and these will continue during
the next two years, giving the greatest
prestige to the Republican party it
has enjoyed for a long time.
who are rallying to bis support th
time. It seems to be cenerally con
ceded that the incumbent, Mr. Ellis,
eaanot be renominated, which practi
cally gives an open field to Mr. Leas-
ure. Umatilla, with her eleven big
votes, will stand solid for Leasure, and
with the influence he command
abroad will make him the candidate
practically by acclamation."
We have nothing to say against Mr,
Leasurc, personally or politically. Ha
is an able lawyer, has a good reputa
tion in the community, and has always
been faithful so far as we know to
party principles; but there are other
matter to be considered in the nomi
nation of congressman in the second
district. It is a well known fact that
the art of legislation has to be acquired
by actual experience, and this district
may as well have no representation in
the lower house of congress as to make
a biennial change. Mr. Ellis was
elected two years age, and so far has
given saeisfactioa to his constituents,
He has done well considering the op
portunities, and to replrce him next
J one by a new man would be a great
injury to Eastern Oregon and a per
sonal affront to the gentleman himself.
The efficient work of the member' from
the first district is because he has been
in Washington City during so many
sessions that he thoroughly under
stands the modus operandi of secur
ing any favor, from either of the d
part men ta, Mr. Ellis has neglected
nothing that has been entrusted to
him thus far.and as he becomes famil
iar with legislative tact will become
more efficient. ' '
It may be considered premature to
speak regarding the choice of the Re
publican state convention, ' b ich
meets in Portland on April 11th
next; but we feel confident ' that
Wasco and other Republican counties
in Eastern Oregon wilf send delega
tions instructed to vote foi Ellis, as
the congressional nominee. The gen
tleman is entitled to 'the nomination,
and we' are satisfied the' Republicans
of the second congressional district
will return him to Washington City
by the largest majority that any can
idate has received for many years.
Mr. Ellis is an honorable, capable
gentleman, and in saying this we do
not intend or imply any disparage
ment of. the qualifications of Mr-
Leasure, or any othsr person whose
name may come before the Republi
can state convention.

' There is a well-defined movementin

Mr. Worthington 0. Ford, chief of
the bureau of statistics of the treasury
department, in answer to a resolution
of congress, has sent that body some
figures upon wool and the manufacture
of that . article. From this, as re
ported in the dispatches, we learn that
while the American clip has trebled
since 1860, the Austrajian clip has in
creased tenfold, that of South Amer
ica ninefold, and that of South Africa
fivefold. The report, shows the year
1892 gave the woolproducing interests
in even the most favored countries, as
Australia, a setback. It has been a
well known fact for many years that
the production of wool has been in
ereasiug in tht. countries of the worldi
and this has had a tendency to pause
a general declension in its price in the
market; but this could not have been
the reason of the terrible depression
in this article in the Uaited States
during the last year, amounting al
most to an absolute inhibition of its
sale. . A local cause, applicable to this

becomes simply a question between
